"Devil's Mountain?" Lance gave a solemn look.

The strange eyeball didn't scare him, the only thing that made him wonder was what was wrong with him?

He was silent for a moment, then felt it. As a result, in his chest, a heart was beating vigorously. This gave him a sense of unreality.

"I'm not dead?" Lance hesitated.

"Of course you're not dead. A hoarse voice came, and everything around them suddenly brightened.

It was an old man with eyes of different sizes and no eyebrows.

The old man looked at him kindly: "On the contrary, you are stronger than before. ”

"Stronger?" said Lance, looking at the old man suspiciously.

"Don't believe me? You can come down and try it. You've been in a hospital bed for three days, and it's time to get down and walk away. The old man was unceremonious and pulled Lance down.

"Trust me, you're not as weak as you think. He blinked.

Lance involuntarily got out of the hospital bed, walked back and forth a few steps, and sure enough, found that there was nothing wrong with his body.

He closed his eyes and suddenly asked, "Who are you, why did you want to save me, and what is the price?"

The old man smiled and said, "Young man, you are too impatient. But the thinking is clear, and that's a good thing. ”

......

Two days later, Lance stood on the outside of the protruding platform, watching the lava billowing beneath his feet, and every now and then a few lava worms jumped out of it and fell quickly.

His face was calm, and his complexion was much better. It doesn't look much different than usual.

However, only he knew that his body had already undergone earth-shaking changes!

"Fox, scan my body again and mark the anomalous parts. He silently commanded in his heart.

After the main chip was restarted, it did not lose its efficacy, which is a point that Lance is extremely happy about. In the event of a major crisis, the fox will automatically turn off some of its functions to protect itself. Lance after he woke up. It will soon be restarted.

In addition to the main chip fox. The rest of the subchips, including the hungry wolf, hawkeye, and chameleon, are unharmed. Reims' fighting ability was not compromised by this.

Soon, the data of the main chip appeared in front of Lance's eyes like a waterfall.

"[Constitution 3.1 Strength 4.0 Agility 2.9 Mana 99]"

"Abnormal location: heart. It is a transplanted organ from a foreign source. ”

An intricate three-dimensional model slowly rotated in front of Lance. It was Lance himself. And at the mouth of his heart. The heart is marked with a red dot by the fox.

"A transplanted heart?" Lance gave a strange look, "Why is my immune system not attacking foreign organs?"

Although Lance did not have a lot of scientific knowledge, he did know some basic principles. In allogeneic organ transplantation, there will be a strong rejection reaction. Since the body's immune cells cannot recognize the origin of foreign organs, they will always treat them as invaders and destroy them in a frenzied manner. Even if Lance traveled through the world before the world, the level of science and technology has developed to an extremely high level, and in terms of organ transplant surgery, a series of drugs can only be used to disrupt the human immune system, so that the transplanted organs can have a chance of survival.

But in this world, there are no anti-rejection drugs.

The fox examined it and immediately said, "This heart is constantly releasing a special protein hormone to the rest of your body, a hormone that has never been seen before that makes your immune system incapable of judging specific targets." ”

"In other words, this foreign heart can make my immune system think it's my original heart?" Lance frowned. There are many things in the wizarding world that are really difficult to explain scientifically.

"That's pretty much it. On top of that, this protein hormone also seems to slowly change your body...... While you're in a coma, you've managed to make a big change. Your physical fitness is greatly improved because of the stimulation of this protein. In the future, this change will continue, maintaining a subtle rhythm. I can't figure out the final result of the change at the moment, only some trends. The fox added.

Lance's face became more and more gloomy: "Say." What's the trend?"

"You're going to get more and more irritable – because just after your heart transplant, your adrenaline has increased by about 0.5 percent and it's still improving. Surprisingly, your body seems to have adapted to this as well, which is a sign of concern. "I'm sorry, but the main chip is only installed with the most basic modern medical knowledge base, and if the relevant sub-chips can be unlocked, more accurate diagnoses can be made," the fox said. ”

Lance closed his eyes, feeling irritated. He forced himself to come to his senses, and he knew that it was the heart that was to blame.

It took a long time for that irritability to be suppressed, and his mind regained its clarity.

"Improvement of physical fitness...... It's a blessing in disguise. He smiled wryly.

Stretching out his right hand, the strong muscles on his forearm protruded, and now he, even if he doesn't turn on the hungry wolf, he has a physical fitness of more than 3.0. And the amount of force has reached a perverted 4.0.

This is no longer human data, it is simply data that only monsters have, such as the two-headed griffin that died at the hands of the crystal dragon before.

He spread his hands and sighed silently in his heart, "Although I had expected this day for a long time, I didn't expect it to come so quickly. Lao Tzu is finally not human......"

This sentence sounds awkward, but it is a true portrayal of the complex emotions in Lance's heart.

......

After this encounter, he must learn to control his emotions more carefully and not get angry easily.

After all, the side effects of that weird heart will definitely not be less.

He looked at the missing potion bag in his Arcane Ring, and a chill rose in his heart.

"That old guy, who the hell is it? I was able to ignore the isolation ability of spatial items and take things out of my Arcane Ring. It's a good thing he didn't touch anything else, otherwise wouldn't I have gone bankrupt?" thought to Lance, incredulous.

By now, he had naturally discovered that the heart installed on his body was the [Demon Heart] he had snatched from the corpse demon Haven!

The Demon Heart saved Lance's life while quietly transforming Lance's body to make him stronger. But this thing also affects Lance's mood, and he becomes more irritable and irritable than before. Even at the fox's prompting, Lance found himself in a fit of rage. The original physical fitness has been slightly improved.

Not to mention that this thing melted into Lance's body. Pulled his mana level to 99 points!

This is already the tipping point between a first-level wizard and a second-level wizard.

There is a vibrant magic flowing in his blood, and every bit of magic is extremely active, and it is possible to meet each other at any time and anywhere, and a powerful conflict erupts.

He must build the mana pool as soon as possible. If the magic is allowed to run like this. His body will be continuously damaged.

For Reims. It all came too easily and too hastily. A demonic heart. It's unbelievable that he can deliver a steady stream of magic to his body—and it's incredibly pure. He kind of understood why Ellie had to change a dragon heart for herself, compared to these magical creatures. The human heart is indeed incomparably weak.

But he didn't believe that there was nothing hidden in the demonic heart. On the contrary, even an evil creature like Haven dared to use the power of this heart, and it is even said that because this heart would affect his mind, he sealed it in the boulder.

Now that the old man threw him into Lance's body, God knows when there will be an accident.

It's a ticking time bomb. Lance hated the rhythm of things that could go wrong at any time. He likes to take everything into his own hands.

......

Three days later, Lance was standing on the platform, and the old man was standing in front of the cave, standing with his hands in his hands.

"It's time for you to go. The old man said lightly: "I'm just a part-time doctor, and Devil's Mountain is not a shelter. ”

Lance looked at him steadily, and replied, "You've been avoiding me these days, and if you let me go, you'll have to answer me a few questions." ”

"No problem. The old man leaned on the silver snake staff and said unhurriedly.

"Why are you trying to save me?" asked Lance.

"A deal. The old man said briefly, "This is the note that Miss Lei left for you, lucky fellow." ”

With that, he tossed the encrypted magic note over.

Lance took the note, and the pale yellow runes immediately melted into the palm of his hand. In his mind, he immediately added a place noun.

Lance was silent for a moment, then continued, "Second question, who are you, why can you just take the contents of my Arcane Ring?"

"Uninteresting. The old man yawned, "As you can see, I'm just an old man who wants to live out his old age in peace." Who do you think I am? What kind of hermit master? I'm very old, you know, it's normal for a person to be old enough to do some strange things. ”

"Good. The last question, I'll leave after asking it. ”

Lance looked directly at the old man, and there was a hint of fierceness in his tone: "Where did my original heart go?"

The old man's face changed slightly, and he replied, seemingly casually, "Lost it." That thing is already in a mess, why don't you throw it away?"

Lance didn't speak, and suddenly took a step forward.

The old man immediately said, "Young man, as an elder, I want to give you a piece of advice. ”

"Although you are alive now, I am afraid that there will be some changes in your emotions - that heart, you should also understand what it is. There is a powerful evil thought in it, purely evil thoughts, not some will. This evil thought will affect you, and the only good news is that this evil thought has fallen into a deep sleep. But as your strength increases, it will slowly awaken, which in turn will affect your mind. ”

Lance stopped and asked, "What should I do?"

The old man smiled slightly: "Use your heart to control it." ”

"I don't have a heart anymore, it's someone else's heart. Lance said indifferently.

The old man pointed to his head and smiled silently.

Lance was silent for a while, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

A swirling green leaf slowly rose in front of him. He stepped on the green leaf and flew high.

As it flew away from the crater, the green leaves paused slightly.

Lance held the hot vial of eternity in his hand, a flash of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and muttered in a voice that no one else could hear:

"Since you saved me, I'll let you go for once. Next...... Hmph, lost the ...... Do you really think I don't know the way ......" (to be continued......
