Chapter 689 Infection Worsens
Two days of calm and tense time passed, and the guild's response has not come yet.
This is normal. Even at the speed of the peregrine falcon, it is afraid that it has just arrived in Dongdoruma with the letter. It will take four or five days or even a week for the guild leaders to organize forces, arrange supplies, and support to reach the village of Sinard at best.
However, the hunters, or more precisely, Hayata, received another good news - the little alchemist in the Maka Alchemy House succeeded.
The hunters who were waiting in the village and doing nothing rushed to the alchemy house excitedly, wanting to see what good things the little fat man had made.
The little alchemist with a big frog on his head stood at the door of the alchemy house with his arms folded, looking like he was waiting for praise.
After Gordon, Fengying, and Anxier surrounded him, he was about to brag, but suddenly froze, "Yeah? Where is that sister? This is her protective stone, why are you so close?"
"I'm here."
Hayata's voice came from behind Gordon and the others. She was in a bad mood these days and was not in a good mood, so she didn't squeeze in like Gordon and the others.
Feng Ying, who seemed to have forgotten that she was infected with the mad dragon disease, smiled and pulled Hayata into the "encirclement", and asked the little fat man, "So where are my two protective stones? What did you refine?"
The little alchemist spread his hands and said as a matter of course: "Nothing, just knight-level and fortress-level, refined into dregs."
"What are you talking about, you pig?!!" Feng Ying's eyebrows were raised, and her hands pulled the little alchemist's cheeks.
Gordon and others looked at Feng Ying together.
Before the little alchemist could even shout, Feng Ying let go of his hand with a wry smile, "I'm not sick, I just feel, well, a little unhappy!"
"That's how it works when you bet on a protective stone!"
The little fat man muttered, pointing at Hayata and saying to Feng Ying, "This sister refined seven protective stones, but only two succeeded, the others all exploded.
One of the two was still a knight-level one, upgraded to the fortress level, with a low-strength [Ice Attribute Resistance] protection, which is not very meaningful.
After all, only one was truly successful."
"The king-level one?" Gordon asked with a smile, but his tone was quite certain.
"Yes!" The little alchemist proudly raised his chest and put his hands on his hips. "The quality has been upgraded to the level of Dragon Guardian. This is our most proud work in the past one or two years!
By the way, how do you know that the King-level one succeeded?"
Gordon smiled and said casually: "With Hayata's luck, this is not even a regular performance. It cost so many high-quality monster materials and a piece of Crazy Dragon Crystal. The price is not small.
So where is the Guardian? Take it out and let us see it."
"This price is a big profit for this quality of Dragon Guardian, and don't we have the other two Guardians for you first?" The little fat man said dissatisfiedly.
He was very dissatisfied with Gordon's statement that everything was attributed to "luck".
It was obviously his superb skills!
"Master, you have worked hard."
Hayata saw the little fat man's dissatisfaction and praised him with a smile. The little fat man then jumped back to the alchemy room and took out the shining Guardian in the brocade box.
The shape of this amulet is a little strange. Most amulets are round or oval, but this one is curved. According to Feng Ying, it looks like a banana.
"Why is it this shape?" An Xier asked curiously.
The little alchemist proudly put his hands on his waist again, "Hehe! This is my skill! I used ancient alchemy to adjust the energy distribution, separated the part containing the [avoid distance] protection from the part with the negative effect of [suffocation], and then knocked off the part containing the negative effect, thus removing the disadvantage of this amulet that easily makes the user [suffocation]!"
"Can it be like this?" An Xier was surprised.
"Other alchemists can't do it, but I can, hahahaha!"
Looking at the arrogant and laughing fat man, Feng Ying couldn't help but have the urge to beat him up. Just as she clenched her fist, she found Gordon looking over, and she was so scared that she quickly calmed down.
She couldn't tell whether it was because of the mad dragon disease or she simply felt that the fat man deserved a beating.
The little fat man continued to introduce: "And, oh, there are two inlay holes on this amulet, which can be used to inlay decorative beads."
"The original [Avoidance Distance] protection is already very strong, but it is a bit monotonous after all. You can adjust the effect of this amulet by inlaying different decorative beads!" Obviously, the little alchemist is very satisfied with his work.
Even Gordon and Ansel are quite envious of this. Their amulets, especially Gordon's hero amulet, are higher in level than Hayata's, but there is only one inlay hole.
According to the little alchemist, using ancient alchemy, his hero-level amulet also has the possibility of further improvement, but considering the failure rate of at least 70% to 80%.
Gordon thinks it's good now.
After getting the new amulet, Hayata did not wear it immediately, but put it away.
[Avoidance Distance] This kind of protection that affects the effect of the action needs time to adapt. If it is directly worn in actual combat, it may even have extremely serious consequences due to misjudgment of distance.
Fortunately, there are not many things to do in the past few days, and she has plenty of time to adapt.
After leaving the alchemy house, they went to the doctor again to visit the herbalist villager they rescued a few days ago.
This poor villager was also infected with mad dragon disease. It is not known whether it was because the infection of open wounds was more direct or because of his physical condition, but his symptoms were much more serious than Feng Ying's.
After waking up, his consciousness was very clear and his thinking was not significantly affected, but he was very irritable and angry, as if he had bipolar disorder.
At the same time, his body became weak, and he often became breathless after yelling for a while.
In order to avoid causing anxiety to other villagers and eliminate certain possible risks, the elders isolated him.
Although the infected villager was irritable, he did not lose his mind. He could understand the elders' decision, but the mania during the "onset" was not something that ordinary people could suppress with reason.
It was Feng Ying who took the initiative to distribute the remaining mad dragon disease suppressant to this villager, which effectively alleviated the symptoms of the villager's mad dragon disease.
This was also a helpless move. If there was no medicine to suppress it, when the guild support arrived, the villager's physical condition would likely deteriorate to an irreversible level.
However, the result of doing so was that Feng Ying had no more suppressant drugs to use.
As the days passed, her symptoms began to worsen.
The only thing to be thankful for was that Feng Ying, like Hayata, did not become weak, but according to Hayata, Feng Ying's symptoms were more serious than hers at the time in terms of emotional and mental mania.
Although Feng Ying tried to suppress this mania with reason, so that there was not much abnormality on the surface, sometimes her subconscious reactions would make people feel very wrong.
For example, when Gordon reminded her not to "smack" her lips when eating, she actually glared at Gordon with her teeth bared. Although she apologized immediately, this "lifeless" behavior still made everyone fall into silence.
Gordon did not beat her, but just touched her head, but his worries were even greater.
Maybe it's time to let Feng Ying go to the hunting ground to "vent"?
Fortunately, Ansir made a rather strange but constructive suggestion at this time - let Hayata lend the Black Eclipse Dragon Armor to Fengying.
Hayata immediately took off the armor on her body, and at the same time she was annoyed, why didn't she think of this method before?
Any hunter knows that lending armor is a strictly prohibited act of the guild, but now there is no need to care so much.
The two have completely different figures. Hayata is a whole head taller than Fengying, but if the latter insists on wearing it, she can also wear it.
It is not a problem if it doesn't fit, anyway, it is not used for fighting, just as a medical treatment.
The Black Eclipse Dragon Armor has an immediate effect on suppressing the Mad Dragon Virus.
After putting on, or putting on this set of armor, Fengying immediately felt refreshed, and the anxiety and desire to attack that had troubled her day and night in recent days dissipated in a very short time.
It just looks a little funny, like a little girl who stole her mother's skirt.
After being happy for a while, Feng Ying suddenly looked at Hayata, "Sister Hayata, your mad dragon disease infection is much more serious than mine, right? Lend me this equipment, are you okay?"
Gordon also stared at Hayata, which was also what he was most worried about.
I don't know when, purple-red bloodshot crawled all over Hayata's sclera, which made her eyes look a little weird, but her mood was still stable, and she even felt relieved.
"It's okay, I'm used to it."
