Chapter 298 Miracle Medicine
With Clown's strong performance, the Chimera troops were recalled. Without the support of the air combat units, relying solely on flying beasts did not cause much trouble to our side.
The flames were like blooming red lotuses, the sky was rendered orange-red, and the battlefield was filled with the aroma of burning protein.
After a while, the flying beasts also returned as if they had received orders.
Clown did not pursue, but hovered beside the airship at a high altitude, secretly regretting that the killed Chimeras fell into the enemy's camp and could not collect bone marrow and blood.
Silver marrow had no effect on him, but it was a good choice to trade it or reward his subordinates.
On the ground in some areas of the camp, white light like frost bloomed, radiating circular areas.
Clown saw clearly that it was the aura of the magic circle.
After the magic circle was activated, the burning fire quickly became smaller and finally extinguished completely.
Frowning slightly, Clown understood that it should be the frost magic circle that was activated, so the incendiary bombs did not work, and he could only rely on bombs.
Before he could sigh, some stone towers in the enemy's camp lit up with a faint blue light, and groups of twisted gray shadows flew out of them.
The shadows were like the river water rippling in the wind, and finally disappeared.
Clown immediately became alert and pushed his spiritual sense to the extreme.
A faint stench began to permeate the air, and the temperature dropped rapidly. He realized that those gray shadows were spirits released by the enemy.
He immediately became uneasy. The air raid troops tonight did not make a plan to deal with the attack of spirits. He didn't know whether the magic circle on the skin of the airship could block the spirits.
Clown did not hesitate and immediately stimulated the life energy and released the golden light.
He turned into an angel walking out of the sun. When the golden light lit up, golden "snowflakes" immediately floated around. That was the spiritual brilliance produced by the purification of evil spirits.
It was a waste. Collecting at least a few hundred gold spirit coins is enough.
Clown shook his head regretfully, and the wings behind him flapped. He flew to the vicinity of another airship and released the golden light again.
Regardless of whether the magic array embedded in the skin of the airship can defend against spirits, he needs to do everything he can.
The cultists on the ground looked at the golden figure in the sky, and they felt frightened for no reason, as if they had encountered a natural enemy.
Somla's face was gloomy. His spiritual perception was the highest among the cultists. He could feel more deeply that the radiating golden light contained powerful laws of light and fire.
Even the most powerful spirits were burned into pieces of spiritual light when they were in the range of the golden light.
Klauen released the golden light next to all the airships. At this time, he found that two large airships had stopped dropping bombs.
With a bad feeling in his heart, he flew to the front of the airship and waved the Thunder Fury, violently cutting open the hatch.
He quickly walked inside and found that there were no living people. Everyone had a horrified expression on their faces, and the moisture in their bodies was evaporated, as if they had been dried for many days.
Fuck, there is a high-level evil spirit, which may have reached the silver level, otherwise it is impossible to explain why the second-level extraordinary person who participated in the bombing mission died so quickly.
Crown immediately went to the cabin where the engine was stored, destroyed the machine, and then left quickly.
The airship lost power and fell to the ground, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
Crown left the airship and immediately let out a long whistle.
The high-pitched sound pierced the clouds and cracked the rocks, and once suppressed all other sounds. This was a signal to retreat.
The airships that had no problems began to climb, and the falling large airship fell to the ground and exploded in a series of explosions.
A deafening sound resounded through the sky, and the airship that had an accident was shaken by the shock wave and flew upwards.
Crown saw that the building where the airship fell was like a pile of sand castles, which turned into rubble in the explosion.
He flew to the large airship that was bumping upwards, destroyed its braking system, and caused it to fall again. These airships that lost control could not be left to the enemy.
Then he flew upwards and quickly caught up with the retreating airship.
. . . .
Klauen returned to the command airship where Flanders was and sighed softly.
There were six large airships and four small airships participating in the mission, and only one small airship and four large airships returned.
These airships were accumulated by the Rhine Diocese for several months, and most of the high-quality materials in reserve had been consumed. It would take a long time to put together such a lineup.
He consumed a lot in this battle. Releasing the golden light not only consumed the life energy, but also consumed a certain amount of Sunfire Liquid.
If these consumed Sunfire Liquids were made into golden light talismans and turned into talisman water, they would be worth three or four thousand gold spirit coins.
Flanders came up to the front and asked, "How is the battle going?"
"Not very good," Clown shook his head slightly:
"The incendiary bombs we carried were restricted by the magic circle, and most of those injured and killed by the bombs were low-level extraordinary people and ordinary people.
The enemy released evil spirits and lost some airships.
I killed more than a dozen Chimeras in the air, and the last two airships fell and flattened two buildings with a radius of 100 meters. This is the biggest gain tonight."
In short, this air raid did not complete the original mission objectives, and the losses on our side were more than expected.
Flanders listened to the report carefully, compared it with the original plan in his mind, and said:
"Don't be discouraged, at least we have roughly figured out the defense structure of the enemy camp. If no spirits appear, I think this mission will be very successful.
From this point of view, blatant bombing during the day would be more effective. "
The spirit body does not like sunlight and likes to stay in dark places. The sun affects the activity of the spirit body.
There was not much disappointment on Cavendi's face, and he said in a deep voice:
"There is a magic circle in the enemy's camp, and evil spirits are released from the stone towers in it. We can completely avoid the camp and launch an attack while the enemy is marching."
Lannister echoed: "A good plan. As long as it can kill the enemy and make their troops unable to move, it is also a good way to end the war.
What I want to ask is, did Mr. Crown really kill more than a dozen Chimeras? "
The Warlock didn't believe it. It took a lot of effort for them to kill a Chimera some time ago. There was no reason why the other party would become so powerful after not seeing each other for a month.
Crown shrugged his shoulders and responded calmly:
"My flight is more flexible than the Chimera, and my speed is faster than the enemy. I just need to chop off the Chimera's head with a sharp blade. It's easy."
Flanders smiled and said: "Okay, you will be responsible for protecting the bombing formation from now on. Did you keep the Chimera's head in this operation?"
"Of course I'll keep it, these are all gold spirit coins!"
Crown smiled and nodded. In the space ring, there are 21 heads of Chimera that released the lightning ball.
With six thousand gold spirit coins in your account, you can earn much faster than slowly accumulating wealth by starting a business.
However, releasing the golden light consumes a lot of Sunfire Liquid, and the purified spirit flower is not obtained. The real profit from this operation is not that much.
There are not many chimeras left alive in the cultist camp, and he can't get much money from this.
It took a lot of energy and physical strength. Now that he is relaxed, Kroun feels a little tired:
"I'm a little tired, I'll go back and rest."
After he left, Cavendi said:
"Now it seems that even if these cultists rush towards the Holy Fire Cathedral, we can still defend ourselves."
Flanders was not so optimistic and shook his head indifferently:
"Perhaps you haven't noticed the cost of war. The unit price of consumed ammunition is not high, but the quantity is large. These high-quality bombs cost thousands of gold spirit coins.
The crash of the airship and the compensation for those killed in battle constituted a large part of the expenses.
Even if the three forces jointly bear it, it is still a huge expense. Victory in the war will also wipe out all the wealth. "
. . . .
The next day, the airship formation returned to the Rhine City, and Crown got his reward, six thousand gold spirit coins falling into his hands.
He took out a thousand gold spirit coins and customized a small airship to prepare for emergencies.
However, the orders from the Strange Object Manufacturing Association are now for military use, and he needs to wait until the end of the war to place the order.
Not staying in Rhine City for long, Kroun meditated on the golden light spell and waited until most of his energy and life energy had recovered before he said goodbye and left.
He unleashed the magic of flying and flew to Hamers City. Under the sun, his wings shone brightly, leaving a gorgeous golden afterimage behind him.
The Fire Cube controls flight and he summons a golden wall.
[Golden Light Spell: 138564/150000; Level 3]
[Flying Thaumaturgy: 1124/15000; Level 2]
Purifying the spirit body increases the proficiency of the Golden Light Spell, but not much, only more than 400 points.
Now that the level of the Golden Light Spell is getting higher and higher, the proficiency gained by purifying low-level spirits is very little.
Since he had to fly at full speed during the battle, his proficiency in flying thaumaturgy increased by more than 800 points, which was his biggest gain from this trip.
Soon, the alienated land is in sight.
Crown stopped in the central area and used the golden light to illuminate his liver for a while before returning to Hamers.
. . . .
Bligh, Tulip Manor.
A torch laced with wormwood burned in the basement, and the flames danced, leaving twisted shadows on the walls.
Victor stood in a stone room, his face flickering in the firelight.
An altar was built on the ground, and grooves were carved around the altar to form a complex magic circle.
The grooves were filled with silver liquid, shimmering like a lake illuminated by moonlight.
On the altar, a bruised black bear was tied tightly with iron chains and let out a low and angry roar.
Victor waved away the servants in the room and began to chant a spell.
His voice was sometimes low and sometimes high, and the flames flickered and flickered with the rise and fall of his voice.
The silver liquid in the groove turned blood red and flowed rapidly, like a rushing river.
There were waves rolling in the 'river', as if there were some unknown creature bound inside.
The roar of the black bear became smaller and smaller, turning into a howl of fear, and the low trembling sound seemed to be experiencing unparalleled pain.
When Victor's spell ended, the black bear suddenly stood up and opened its mouth as if to roar.
Its movements were frozen, its eyes quickly lost their luster, and the expected sound never came out.
Taking out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Victor muttered: "This magic circle is a bit evil. Did it fail?"
He caught a second-level monster and used the magic circle to refine the source of life.
This is the first experiment. There is no need to choose third-level creatures. Third-level experimental products are too expensive.
While he was doubting, the magic circle lit up with a dense spiritual light, and drops of silver liquid flowed out from the pores in the altar, dripping into the rune crystal bottle prepared below.
"It's done! There's no problem with the magic circle. Now we just need to try to see if it works."
Victor clapped his hands and solemnly picked up the crystal bottle.
The silver liquid spun like mercury in the bottle, exuding a unique fragrance.
He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, the smell gave people a strong attraction.
Resisting the urge to swallow the silver liquid, Victor walked out of the basement quickly and found his old butler Gray.
Gray was a second-level extraordinary person who had followed him for more than 60 years. Now he was gray-haired and had countless wrinkles on his face.
"Mr. Earl, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Gray bowed and saluted. He was too old. He left the Earl and returned to the countryside to retire several years ago. Unexpectedly, the Earl sent someone to invite him back to Tulip Manor a few days ago.
When he arrived at the manor, the Earl was clearly here but didn't see him, which made him uneasy.
When he saw the Earl today, he carefully looked at the other's face.
Victor sat on the chair, leaning back comfortably, smiled gently, and said enthusiastically: "Please sit down."
"I dare not, Lord Earl, I can stand, the rules cannot be abolished."
Gray was even more suspicious. He always stood when talking to the Earl before. How could the butler be on an equal footing with the master!
Victor nodded slightly, and the other party's respect made him satisfied:
"Old Gray, this time I got a magical medicine from the church, which is particularly effective for the elderly and can regulate the mental state.
Thinking of you following me for many years and doing your duty, I bought some more from the church and rewarded you."
As he spoke, he handed the crystal bottle to the other party.
Reward, the sun rises from the west, right? !
Gray knew the Earl's character very well. The other party believed that it was the servants' duty to do their duty and rarely gave rewards.
Besides, he had been away from the Earl for several years, and it was not his turn to reward.
The bottle is a rune crystal bottle, often used to store precious potions, with a shallow layer of liquid with a silver halo.
"Without merit, how dare you accept the earl's reward? It's better to give it to other capable people who can do things for the earl."
It's not easy to find a suitable experimental subject, you are still my choice. Victor's eyes flashed, and he smiled:
"This is for you, why not open the bottle first."
Gray couldn't refuse, and opened the lid of the crystal bottle.
An alluring fragrance filled his nose, and he felt like a traveler who had been walking in the desert for several days without drinking water and saw the clear lake water in the oasis.
The desire in his heart rose, and he could no longer suppress it. Gray raised his head and drank the "magic medicine".
Like a sweet spring watering the long-dry land, he felt comfortable groaning from all the pores of his body, and unconsciously closed his eyes, wanting to savor this feeling more.
Victor sat up straight without knowing when. He saw that the old butler's wrinkled skin was filled and became tight and plump, and the roots of his gray hair turned into the brown color of his youth.
The Pope's stuff is really useful!
