Chapter 342 Physical Changes

After learning about Carl's wonderful experience, although Nia was curious about what the knowledge was, she let Carl rest first, and then took the others out of the room.

Looking at the empty room where he was suddenly the only one left, Carl felt empty in his heart.

'Actually, there is nothing wrong with my body...'

After posing two bodybuilding poses, Carl paused, and then took advantage of the fact that there was no one around to slightly adjust the trajectory.

However, after fiddling with it for a long time, Carl still felt that his clothes didn't fit him well.

"Huh? Is it an illusion? How come this dress seems to be one size smaller?"

Frowning, Carl simply took off his clothes.

Then, he discovered the abnormality of his body.

On his tall body, orange-gold lines started from Carl's chest and spread out to his limbs.

The pattern of these lines is exactly the same as the lines on the adamantine key, except that the giant rune is missing.

After thinking for a moment, Carl immediately found the measuring tool from his dimension bag and measured his height slightly.

‘Two meters? I remember that I was 1.9 meters tall before I went to Storm Bay. Even if I am still growing, I won’t grow 10 centimeters in half a year. Is it because of the power of the giant? ’

Thinking so, Carl took out various measuring tools from the dimension bag and checked his other physical data.

Although the attribute panel in the dream can display attribute values, it is too general. It cannot directly display specific values ​​such as grip strength, lung capacity and jumping ability.

Soon, Carl finished measuring and found that although his various data had increased, they were still within a reasonable range.

Putting away various props, Carl sat back at the head of the bed and tried to use magic to see what the patterns on his body were for.

This attempt actually has a lot of risks, because Eberron’s mages rely on magic nets and spell slots to cast spells, and their bodies have no obvious resistance to magic.

However, the secret war magic of Akanix involves the technique of using the body to buffer magic, thereby increasing the power of spells, so Carl followed this idea and began to cast.

At the beginning, everything went smoothly.

The magic power began to gather towards Carl's chest and began to flow along the extended lines.

A faint burning sensation came from all parts of his body. Carl knew that this was a normal phenomenon of magic power eroding his body. He was now exposed to some kind of incomplete attack spell.

If this was a game, Carl's head would probably have a blood loss prompt like "-1-1".

But as the magic power spread throughout his body, Carl suddenly felt his heart twitch violently.

Subconsciously, he activated his psychic power and tried to check what was wrong with his heart.

But after the psychic power touched his body, it was attracted by the lines on his body surface and entered a certain energy cycle with the magic power.

Carl's body suddenly shivered, and each organ in his chest cavity felt a throbbing as if it was about to be activated into various independent individuals.

This is the characteristic of the flesh and blood mutation brought about by the distorted mind.

Just when Carl was about to forcefully stop this attempt and go to Nia to ask for two bottles of rare healing potions for treatment, his eyes suddenly blurred.

In the illusory and layered illusions, Carl saw a perspective view of his body.

It was a body that grew to at least 2.6 meters, with a second heart growing in the right chest, and a third lung, a pre-placed stomach, plate-like bones and other strange mutant structures.

This is almost a beggar's version of Astartes!

'Why do I see this illusion? Is this, a precognitive dream or something? '

As soon as this thought came up, all the illusions disappeared.

His internal organs stopped twitching, and his body was still healthy and strong, as if everything he had just seen and felt before was all his imagination.

Carl, who didn't believe in evil, injected magic and psychic energy into his chest again, but this time, his body did not show any abnormality.

Instead, the key that turned into a big sword somehow broke through the obstacles of space and was directly summoned into Carl's hands.

This special summoning reminded Carl of his Arcane Knight characteristics, and he suspected that this key had become his third "magic link weapon" for unknown reasons.

However, unlike the other two that were linked through professional characteristics, the adamantine key was linked to his body, or the lines on his body.

"It would be great if I could change it. I have rarely used cold weapons in battle recently."

Carl put the adamantine key on the bedside without telling Hope and others about the abnormality he had just encountered, but concealed it.

Lying back on the bed, Carl was about to take a nap, but suddenly remembered that he had left something behind and had not measured it.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Carl took out a tape measure from his dimension bag.

...

Air Element Plane, Floating Island.

After a long working life, Tina finally saved up enough cloud iron she needed and spent three days perfecting her glider.

Looking at the machine she had successfully made, Tina felt the spiritual feedback. The spiritual core was like a spring, constantly releasing vibrant spirituality.

"Huh~, finally reached level 3! It's a pity that the village chief didn't buy the subsequent sub-professional training method!"

Standing with her hands on her hips, Tina twisted her sore waist left and right, and then stretched.

She actually likes the profession of strange mechanic very much, and hopes to continue on this path.

But there is no subsequent training method for strange mechanics on the floating island.

"Huh? No! Anyway, I have to go out for adventure. Maybe I can exchange information from other floating islands. In that case, can't I continue to upgrade the profession of strange mechanic?"

Thinking of this, Tina hurriedly ran back to the first floor and took out her best weapon - a pulley crossbow with a burst weapon injection method.

"Well! Very good! The thing can still be used! In this case, let today be the beginning of my adventure!"

Running to the second floor in a hurry, she put her toiletries and giant notebook into her backpack, and then returned to the first floor and pressed a button hidden behind the counter.

In the garden outside the house, the sound of mechanical gears roared.

A part of the soil slowly rose up, and then separated to both sides driven by the stone slab.

Soon, a passage leading to Tina's basement appeared.

This movement attracted the attention of some nearby residents, but after seeing Tina's busy figure, everyone smiled knowingly.

Everyone on the island knew that the wind elementals were a group of guys who pursued adventure and excitement, and it was impossible for them to stay in one place for their whole lives.

They knew that little Tina would leave one day, but they didn't expect it to be today.

"Hey! Tina! Bring some pumpkins and potatoes grown by uncle's family! It's not easy to get food outside, this is uncle's experience!"

"And fruits! Bring these oranges, they can help you avoid the trouble of scurvy. When you go out for adventure, you should pay attention to balanced nutrition and a combination of meat and vegetables!"

The neighbors who had a good relationship with Tina came up with their own things, which made Tina, who wanted to leave immediately, a little overwhelmed.

After struggling for a moment, Tina happily accepted the gifts from the neighbors.

"Don't worry! Uncles and aunts! I will take good care of myself! Maybe when I come back, I will be an excellent adventurer!"

After putting the things into her backpack, Tina waved her arms and got into the underground driveway.

After a while, the roar of mechanical rotation sounded, and a glider drove out of the driveway and drove to the road on the side.

The propeller rotated rapidly, and the wings gradually lifted the plane itself under the action of the airflow.

When the glider took off completely, Tina controlled the fuselage to turn back in mid-air.

"Goodbye! Everyone! I'm going out for adventure!"

After leaving this sentence, Tina drove the plane and rushed into the vast sky.

The cool wind blew Tina, blowing her light golden long hair back.

Feeling a different kind of freedom, Tina screamed loudly in the air, happy like a fool.

Although residents of the Air Elemental Plane can fly through certain training and use the characteristics of the plane itself.

But that kind of flying is actually more like "falling", except that the direction of falling can be barely controlled.

In comparison, although airplanes are not so flexible, they are at least relatively safe.

Driving her first truly complex mechanical vehicle, Tina drove for more than ten hours without sleep.

She didn't care about the direction she was going at all, and acted completely based on her feelings.

From time to time, she would use the glider to perform some fancy performances in mid-air.

However, the longer you do something new, the excitement will gradually return to normal.

After her mind finally came to her senses, Tina felt that she should eat something.

After turning off the switch of the glider, she took out a baking oven heated by the giant rune from her backpack and cut some of the pumpkin given to her by the neighbor uncle and put it in.

Slightly inputting magic power into the fire rune in the oven, the heat enough to bake the pumpkin began to rise in the oven.

Feeling that there was still some space on the stove, Tina found some milk and paired it with sugar and flower tea to prepare a hearty lunch for herself.

At this time, she did not notice that a group of wind demon bats and ice demon bats living together in a cloud a few hundred meters away from her had already set their sights on her.

However, the size of the glider gave these demon bats a great deterrence, so they did not dare to attack for the time being.

In the cockpit, Tina closed the glass cover and looked at the gradually boiling flower petal milk tea, closed her eyes and sniffed it twice with a happy expression.

She skillfully took off the earthenware pot with her gloved right hand, then turned off the oven and took out the roasted pumpkin with a slightly charred surface.

"Crack" a bite, the roasted pumpkin was crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside.

Take another sip of milk tea...

"Ah~, I can live like this for the rest of my life!"
