Chapter 30 Price(1/2)
At noon the next day, when Victor opened his eyes, he saw Nicole's pale and haggard face and red and swollen eyes. He suddenly asked in surprise: "Nicole?! What happened?"
"Victor, are you awake?! Wait a minute, I'm going to ask the master to come over and take a look at you." Nicole said happily when she saw Victor regaining consciousness. After saying that, she hurriedly got out of the carriage.
Didn't seem to hear his question at all.
After a while, Master Edwin boarded the carriage and said to Victor with a smile: "Little Victor, how do you feel now? Do you have any special feelings? For example, tired, weak and...
Or are you full of energy, or are you feeling nothing at all?”
As the old scholar said this, he looked at Victor slyly, like a fanatical scientist looking at his experimental materials.
"Master, what happened to Nicole just now?" Victor did not care that he had inadvertently become the research object of the White Tower Master again, but was concerned about the female trainee knight who had just left.
"That girl Nicole? I'm half worried about you and half blaming myself for not being able to protect you, so I'm a little awkward now." Seeing that Victor first cared about Nicole instead of his own body, the old scholar looked at him
A hint of warmth emerged.
"I don't quite understand what happened?" Victor looked at the old scholar blankly.
"It seems that you don't remember what happened. Yesterday you suddenly fainted in the cave. After I checked, I found that it was very much like a coma caused by exhaustion. These days, except for that battle with the jackal, you have
But there is no intense exercise. So I judge that this is the sequelae of your use of blood power. But Nicole blames herself for this. She thinks that she failed to stop the ferocious jackal, which caused you to overuse it.
The power of blood. She has been guarding you this night." Edwin explained to Victor the ins and outs of the matter in a few words.
"Well, after hearing what you said, I remembered that I felt very tired at that time and couldn't help but want to have a good sleep." Victor nodded to Edwin.
Victor is naturally happy to see such a misunderstanding come to fruition. He will not tell Scholar Edwin that he actually entered a will space when he was in coma yesterday, and inexplicably became the successor of an ancient civilization.
"When did you start feeling tired?"
"Do you feel any different now?"
Faced with endless questions from veteran scholars, Victor reluctantly responded with a few words, and then reluctantly said that he had to deal with the territorial issues first, and repeatedly assured Edwin that he would cooperate with him in recording the special situation of the Moon Elf bloodline in the future.
After realizing that Victor was indeed fine now and receiving his assurance, Edwin let Victor leave the carriage with satisfaction.
"Sir, it's great that you're awake!" Seeing Victor come out of the carriage, Captain Nelson, who had been wandering outside the carriage, immediately came over to greet him.
Victor's sudden coma frightened Nelson so much. The castle was gone. Now if even the lord had a problem, Nelson himself didn't know what to do in the future?
"Nelson, how are the conditions of the people in the territory now?" Victor walked towards the cave on the top of the mountain and motioned for Nelson to follow.
"Sir, the terrain here is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Now that there is a stable water source, the mood of the people in the territory is relatively stable. However, what should everyone do next? I still need your instructions." Nelson followed Vic.
After getting back together, he said as he walked.
"I asked the six group leaders to be elected by the people, have they chosen them yet?" Victor asked.
"Already chosen."
"Go and call them over and tell them to come to see me in the cave. I have a task for them." After receiving a positive answer, Victor ordered.
While Nelson went to gather men, Victor walked into the cave alone. He was now eager to verify something to confirm that he was not just dreaming.
"King, are you there?" After walking into the cave, Victor was indeed connected to an existence in his consciousness. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked this existence through his consciousness.
"My lord, the king is here to serve you." A familiar voice sounded in Victor's mind.
"It really surprises me that a king serves me." After receiving the king's response, Victor breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but joke.
"Dear Sir, I can change my name to Emperor to give you a bigger surprise." The king's answer made Victor laugh.
"Okay, King, only those alchemical creatures can give me a bigger surprise now. I can't wait to see them." Victor said to the King seriously.
"My lord, your will is my mission. Please go to the stone platform in the inner room. I have more information to pass on to you."
According to the request of the "king" of the tower spirit, Victor walked into the inner cave.
There was a burning torch on the wall of the cave. Under the light of the fire, Victor carefully looked at this mysterious stone platform. The complex patterns emerging on the stone platform gave him a feeling of déjà vu.
"Sir, last time in the will space, I have explained to you that the will side of alchemical creatures needs soul fire to drive. The more complex the will side, the more soul fire is required. According to the standards of the alchemy tower,
The soul fire required by alchemy creatures is consistent with their spirit value, which means that when producing auxiliary soldiers with a spirit of 7, the soul fire units consumed are also 7."
"Continue." Victor's eyes flashed, and he already had some guesses in his mind.
"Now, I want to tell you that there is an upper limit to the total amount of soul fire that this alchemy tower can mobilize. The specific value is 5,000 units." The king said in Victor's consciousness.
"As expected, it would be crazy if the alchemy tower could produce unlimited alchemical creatures. However, you told me that elemental alchemy creates alchemical creatures by absorbing infinite elements from the void. Then why does the fire element behave like this?
Limitations?" Victor asked his question to the king in confusion.
"There is no relevant memory in my will side, but I have observed an interesting phenomenon. The soul fire stored in the alchemy tower has the same fluctuation characteristics, and according to the memory in my will side, after the alchemy creature dies, the alchemy tower reserves
The total value of soul fire will automatically return to the previous value, which means that the soul fire itself has returned to this alchemy tower."
"I have a bold guess about this. The soul fires in this alchemy tower have the same origin and are immortal! They are definitely not soul fires simply processed with fire elements."
The king expressed his judgment to Victor: "So, the soul fire of the Alchemy Tower comes from the same immortal soul, and these soul fires are bound by the Alchemy Tower!"
Immortality, that is the realm of God.
Victor felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, making his whole body cold. He thought about it, why did the patterns on the stone platform look familiar?
During the purification ceremony in the Blackcastle Square, the runes that appeared on the bodies of Bishop Pelor and the wizard Will were very similar to these patterns.
"Putting this question aside for now, do you have any other information you want to tell me?" Victor shook his head, as if he wanted to get these worries out of his mind.
"Yes, sir. Let me introduce to you the characteristics of the alchemical creatures we can produce. The first one is the auxiliary soldier. Its data is: Physique 10, Spirit 7, Perception 7, Life 3. It can be loaded with three skills.
, has the ability to learn, and has a life span of 15 years.”
"The second is the militia, with a physical strength of 17, a spirit of 10, a perception of 10, and a life of 3. It can be loaded with four skills, has the ability to learn, and has a lifespan of 15 years."
"The third one is the War Mastiff, with a physique of 18, a spirit of 4, a perception of 14, and a life of 5. It cannot load skills, has beast intuition and bloodlust, has no learning ability, and has a lifespan of 4 years."
"The fourth one is Black Crow, with physical strength 1, spirit 3, perception 16, life 2, unable to load skills, built-in tracking, tongue learning, identification, no learning ability, lifespan 2 years."
After Taling introduced himself to the properties of these alchemical creatures, Victor's face showed a smile again.
"Alchemy humans aside, what abilities do these alchemy animals have?" Victor asked the king curiously.
"Alchemy war mastiffs have basically the same abilities as ordinary mastiffs. They have a keen intuition of danger and are alert units. They just have the added ability of bloodthirsty. The speed and strength of war mastiffs that enter a bloodthirsty state are greatly increased, and they ignore
Pain, just like the ferocious jackal leader last time."
"Black crows are reconnaissance units and can also be used to transmit messages. They have excellent eyesight and can clearly see targets 600 meters away when flying. Their sense of smell is as sharp as that of war mastiffs. Moreover, they are relatively smart alchemy animals. They can
It can identify targets and imitate the target’s voice.”
The king's answer surprised Victor again and again.
"Well, the other alchemy creatures are too conspicuous. Give me a black crow first. Its detection ability is very useful to me." Victor happily ordered to the king.
"Okay, sir, it takes 3 units of soul fire to produce a black crow, and it takes 1 hour. Master, please place 50 gold soles on the stone platform." The king responded in Victor's consciousness.
.
"What do you want money for?" Victor asked directly in surprise.
"This, sir, another piece of information I want to convey to you is that the production of alchemical creatures needs to be supplied to the alchemy tower. That, is this...money!" The king said weakly in Victor's mind.
Rings.
Victor suddenly felt that ten thousand divine beasts were stepping through his heart.
"Are you sure that this is not a game world?! Huh?!" Victor was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth, and asked word by word.
"You can also start the construction task without using money, and use circulating commodities of equal value." The king's message had the smell of being broken.
"Are you kidding me?!" Victor asked coldly in his heart.
"Sir, in the side of my will is engraved the words of the master alchemist Boledin: All creations will not come out of thin air."
The king was silent for a moment, and then sent a message to Victor: "In fact, the alchemy tower needs to extract a rule of circulating currency or circulating commodities. And one of my instincts, no, it should be said to be a function, is to calculate this
The monetary value corresponding to the law. You should have some ideas about this, right?"
"Luck." Victor pondered for a while, and a concept from Chinese culture on earth popped into his mind.
Yes, everything points to the possibility that the Alchemy Tower is related to the supernatural creatures in this world, or it is the gods! And this stone platform is simply an altar!
The silent demise of the powerful Nirel Empire seems to have an explanation in the long history. Perhaps the empire's alchemists abused elemental alchemy, causing the empire to collapse, or perhaps the empire violated the will of the gods and was destroyed by a powerful person.
The existence is directly destroyed.
Tens of thousands of years are insurmountable for mortals, but they are nothing to immortal gods. And there are indeed gods in this world, such as the Lord of Glory...
Victor finally jumped out of the whirlpool of the kingdom's heirloom. He thought that the sky would be brighter from now on, but he didn't expect that he might fall into a more terrifying storm.
At this moment, Victor had the urge to escape from the cave immediately, but his fate was already linked to the Alchemy Tower. Can he really escape?
The king quietly waited for Victor's final decision. It did not want Victor to give up, because if Victor gave up the alchemy tower, its existence would be meaningless. However, as a tower spirit, its will sided with
It is determined that it will completely obey the will of its master and it is unable to change anything.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
After a period of careful consideration, Victor decided to continue using the Alchemy Tower. The power of the Alchemy Tower was too tempting.
Moreover...after all, the Nairel Empire has long been lost in the long river of history. Even if there is any obstruction, I guess, probably, it will not implicate myself.
However, Victor secretly decided that no one should know the secret of the Alchemy Tower, especially the church.
To be continued...
