Chapter 177 The Demon Hunter's Library
"Hey, it's Dick. I'm old and my ears sometimes don't work very well. What do you want from me?" Oded looked proud of having succeeded in his prank.
"Hey, Odd, didn't you say before that if I want to learn alchemy, I can come to you?"
"Haha, it's easy." Oded said, turning around and shouting inside: "Ali, get over here quickly!"
"What's wrong? You old man." A voice came from inside.
"Hey, you still dare to call me an old man, you're not younger than me." Odd muttered with eyes wide open and an unconvinced look on his face, and he saw Ali walking over slowly.
"Dick, did we meet yesterday?" Ali asked.
"Nonsense, of course I've seen it before. My memory is much better than yours." Odd answered quickly, "He wants to learn alchemy."
"Learn alchemy? Haha, okay, but..." Ali looked at Dick up and down and said slowly, "You have to learn basic courses on your own first."
"No problem." Dick responded cheerfully.
Then, Ali took out a key from his arms and handed it to Dick:
"On the left side of the top floor is the library. Let's go there and read the books first. The other witchers usually don't want to go there, and I guess there's no one in there now. I'll leave the key to you. Remember to return it to me after reading the book."
"Thank you." Dick took the key and followed the stairs to the second floor.
Each floor of the main castle has a huge area. Half of the top floor is a closed library with a locked door;
The other half is an empty space, like a veranda, with various pictures and words on the walls, vividly describing the glorious and magnificent history of the Witcher Order:
Dick strolled along one side of the verandah, admiring the pictures and words on the wall as he walked forward:
The first one depicts several demon hunters besieging a Cyclops;
The second picture is the scene where the demon hunter accepts the commission from the people;
The third picture shows the witcher and the king chatting and feasting;
The fourth picture...
The fifth picture...
…
Since their birth, demon hunters have shouldered the important task of protecting humans from monsters.
They held sharp blades and fought to the death with monsters. After countless fierce battles, they killed countless monsters. They even used their tenacious will and powerful strength to completely eliminate several monsters that caused harm to the world.
Their heroic deeds spread far and wide, and they were deeply supported by the people. The people regarded them as beacons in the darkness and the hope of survival.
Even the nobles of the kingdom were impressed by the achievements of the demon hunters, fully accepted them, and gave them a certain amount of support and assistance, allowing the demon hunter order to continue to grow and develop and be passed down to this day.
"This is the history of witchers! If the little witcher sees it, his blood may boil with excitement. It's a pity that I ate too much of the pie of my leadership in my previous life, and I really can't digest it now."
Dick murmured to himself, then went to the other side of the verandah and briefly browsed the life experiences of the characters on the other walls:
Or introduce the gradual development process of the Witcher Order;
Or commend those outstanding demon hunters and warlocks who have made significant contributions...
Until he stopped in front of an image of white hair.
The man in the painting looks very handsome, with a face full of confidence and calmness, showing his royal style. He holds two swords in each hand. The introduction below is extremely concise:
Kyle, the first leader of the great Order of Demon Hunters, is a close friend of King Kroang of Panda.
"Ajie looks quite similar to him, they can't be related by blood!
Then Dick laughed at himself and shook his head, "The witcher is sterile. How is this possible? Now, we have to get down to business."
Dick came to the library door again, inserted the key and opened the door.
Looking forward, there are several tall bookshelves evenly spaced apart, and there is a sign hanging on the front of each bookshelf, showing the general classification of the bookshelf:
Alchemy area, swordsmanship area, fighting area, seal area... all the combat skills related to the demon hunter are recorded.
Dick casually came to the seal area and took out a book with an introduction and use of magic traps. After opening it and looking at it carefully for a while, he found that the content was the same as the demon hunting notes given by his senior brother Russell before. , but much more detailed.
Then he walked towards the alchemy area, but after walking a few steps, he stopped in the fighting area.
"This should be the place where the Grizzly Bear School of Witchers come most often."
After rummaging around, he found a thin book with a purple casing with the word "[Giantization]" written on it.
After a while, Dick closed the book, and as if he had some realization, he murmured:
“It turns out that [giantization] is based on this principle: our demon hunters’ organs contain rich magical elements, and our bodies have become extremely strong after long-term training.
"When [Giant Transformation] is about to be performed, the blood in the body will flow rapidly, like a surging river. At the same time, with the help of the magic elements in the body, it will be deeply integrated with it, just like blending steel and fire, and finally the body shape will be transformed. As it continues to grow, its strength and defense also increase significantly.
“But when you first master it, this fusion is not smooth, so the initial effect is not significant. At this time, the body’s strength and endurance become particularly important.
“Only with strong strength can we break through the original constraints of the body and trigger a more powerful explosion of power;
"And long-lasting endurance can not only endure the physical pain caused by the [giant transformation] process, but also make the [giant transformation] last longer.
"My physique should be very good now, what will my [Giant] be like?"
Dick memorized all the professional terms in [Giant], but he was indeed a little confused. He felt that the method of drawing qi mentioned in those terms was a bit similar to the acupuncture points in the East, mysterious and wonderful.
"I still need to ask the Grizzly Demon Hunter about the meaning and location of this magic node."
Looking up, he found that it was dark, and couldn't help saying: "Forget it, let's study alchemy tomorrow."
Then he left the library and locked the door again.
When he came to the first floor, he found Bell sitting in the hall.
Dick was delighted and came to Bell.
The latter raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Dick, did you go to the library?"
"Yes. I read a book for a while, and saw a book about [Giant]."
"Do you really want to learn [Giant]?"
Dick nodded seriously.
"Then it seems that you want to ask me something, what questions do you have?"
"It happens that I have many questions." Dick laughed.
After an unknown amount of time, Dick looked at Bell, who looked a little tired, and felt a little guilty. He said gratefully, "Thank you for your guidance, Bell."
"No, no, you are so eager to learn, I am so happy.
"Remember, use the method I told you to guide the magic power in your body. Slowly, the magic veins in your body will be fully infused with magic power and then expanded. Then you can try to open [Giant].
"But don't have too many expectations for the initial [Giant], otherwise you will be very disappointed.
"I remember the first time I used [Giant], it was just that the middle finger of my left hand expanded twice." At this point, Bell smiled seriously, but the smile was mixed with a little bit of vulgarity.
"...Okay, I know."
Dick's face twitched slightly, and he secretly complained:
I didn't expect that Bell usually looked like a kind elder, but listening to his words, I don't know what part of the body he used [Giant] to play with in the past. How many new tricks did he play.
