Chapter 127 Major Discovery
The golden flame disappeared, and the gray fog filled the gap again, and light and darkness were once again in opposition.
Alan looked at the zombie lying on the ground with his mouth half open, not knowing what to say.
"Shit, what did you use?" Geralt was shocked when he saw the effect of the golden light. "Is it a new weapon developed by the church?"
A large area of the gray fog was cleared, and at the same time, a ghoul of extraordinary level was killed with one blow. He was completely unable to comprehend this situation.
It was understandable that the gray fog was expelled, after all, the Holy Fire could do the same thing, but when did the extraordinary ghouls become so fragile? !
He had fought against giant ghouls several times before, and it took a while to win. Even if he used the Igni Sign, it would take half a minute to be effective, provided that the damn giant ghoul did not run away.
But the giant zombie was very smart, and when he saw that he was no match for his opponent, he ran away quickly.
"There's no new weapon. This kind of attack should be more effective against zombies." Clown put away the talisman in his hand, tore a piece of rag from a nearby tent, wrapped it around his hand, and pulled the zombie into the camp.
He drew out his sword, and a silver light shone from the scabbard.
This is a one-handed sword he remade by melting the corroded star-patterned steel sword and adding some refined iron.
The size is one size larger than the original one, but the weight is about the same. Nick enchanted it with stability, which makes the weapon more sturdy and durable.
The priest wanted to enchant sharpness, but he refused. Basic swordsmanship has the special effects of sharpness and armor-breaking, so there is no need to enchant sharpness. It is better to enchant stability.
He picked up the ghoul with his sword and turned it over, and hot white steam came out of its mouth and nostrils.
An indescribable smell of burning rotten flesh spread out, and Crown hurriedly stepped back and fanned his nose twice.
At this time, the night watchman standing in the distance came over.
Crown waved his hand and said, "Pick it out and throw it away."
"One, two, three, get up!" Several night watchmen clenched their spears, shouted slogans, and worked together to knock the zombies away.
"It's been hard work. Keep patrolling and don't be careless."
"Yes, sir," the night watchmen shouted in unison, and each group dispersed to continue their patrol.
The monster fought with the demon hunter for a long time, and was finally defeated by the knight of the church with one blow. The people of the Zak Town Parish also felt very honored.
In the nearby tents, the held breaths returned to normal.
"What kind of attack method was used just now? Can you tell me?" Geralt walked over and asked.
The means to deal with extraordinary-level zombies in one go and release them from a long distance aroused his curiosity to the maximum.
Clown took out a piece of talisman paper and held it in front of his eyes, saying, "Do you want to try it?"
"Golden Light Talisman," Geralt was stunned, "Isn't this thing for drinking?"
After the talisman burned in the water, it became talisman water, which could be considered a kind of medicine. He had never expected that the talisman could be able to attack directly.
After pondering for a moment, he thought about how senior pharmacists could use potions as a means of attack, and he felt that all this was not difficult to understand.
"Can I also use the Golden Light Talisman to launch this kind of attack?" Alan's tone was hopeful.
"I'm afraid not," Crown said with a smile, "You only see the surface of things, but not how much effort I put in behind the scenes."
"I have never seen this kind of attack method on other members of the Church of the God of Fire," Geralt thought to himself, but he said, "Okay, let me try this method of yours. Is it really effective against evil creatures like ghouls?"
"Yes," Crown nodded affirmatively.
The characteristic of the Golden Light Talisman is to target external evil and is beneficial to creatures of flesh and blood. This essence will not change.
After receiving a positive answer, Geralt walked away. Then he released the Quen sign, slightly bent his legs, and took a defensive posture.
After Klauen activated the golden talisman, he released it. With a flash of light, the talisman hit the demon hunter's shield.
Geralt felt the strength of the shield and breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that only another attack like this could consume the shield's defensive power. The Golden Light Talisman was indeed a weapon only against evil creatures.
"Come again," the witcher shouted.
Clown had no intention of continuing the attack: "Still coming?! Will you pay me back for the money I paid for the talisman?"
One for ten gold shields, this is just throwing money at someone, he is not rich enough to do that.
"You guys go back to patrol too," Crown ordered.
"Stingy," Geralt muttered in a voice that only he could hear, and left with Alan.
Seeing them walking away, Crown walked to the edge of the camp alone.
The light emitted by the Golden Light Spell dispelled the gray fog, and he wanted to try whether the Golden Light Body Protection had the same effect.
He performed a short-acting golden body protection hand seal and silently chanted a spell. After the golden film emerged, he slowly stretched out his arms. As he moved, the gray fog dissipated, and a hole immediately appeared on the dark side of the light and dark opposites.
A happy smile appeared on his face, and then his whole body stepped into the gray fog. Immediately, a human-shaped area without gray fog appeared here.
He went several meters deep into the gray fog, constantly performing various actions, punching, kicking, jumping. His movements became faster and faster, but the gray fog always avoided his body, maintaining a distance of about twenty centimeters from his surface.
All this was not without cost. After Clown stayed inside for five minutes, he felt that the defense value of his golden body had dropped by about one-fifth.
The duration of the short-acting golden light protection is a quarter of an hour, which means that if no battle occurs, you can stay in it for a full fifteen minutes.
After Clown walked back to the camp, the golden light on his body dissipated. Thinking that the golden talisman water could "wash the stomachs" of the pets, he took out a golden talisman and stuck it on himself, then stretched out his finger close to the gray fog.
This time, the gray fog did not retreat.
He concluded that the golden talisman itself did not have the effect of dispelling the gray fog, it could only be used to dispel part of the influence of the gray fog.
Although a little disappointed, Crown was still in a good mood. He walked back to the tower with brisk steps.
Everything was calm afterwards, and no further attacks occurred. At five in the morning, Nick arrived at the tower on time.
. . . .
It was just dawn and people started to get up in the camp. When the sun rose, the place became bustling.
Crown's schedule was synchronized with the sun. When he climbed to the top of the tower, he was able to bask in the sunlight. He sat cross-legged and began to visualize the Golden Light Mantra.
After dinner, the residents of Zak Town packed up their things and set off again.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Crown stayed behind to do the dissection, with his pet crow circling above his head and the little black cat squatting at his feet.
The corpse of the ghoul was still there, but only half of the werewolf's body was left. I didn't know whether it was eaten by the ghoul or picked up by other predators.
Crown has performed many dissections these days, and he found that the animals' mutations were concentrated in the abdominal cavity and internal organs. There was an extra layer of tough green filaments on their abdominal walls, and most of their internal organs were severely deformed.
These filaments are not tough and are very different from the green veins produced by the giant wolves raised by the cultists.
The inside of the ghoul's head was a charred mess, and the cross-section of its skull also showed signs of burns. Klauen believed that a single hit of the Sunfire Technique on its body would cause such damage.
The muscles and bones of the ghouls were so tough that he needed to use a lot of force to cut them, and there was a strong feeling of a dull knife cutting flesh.
Crown drew the anatomical diagrams of werewolves and ghouls. The werewolves have two weak points, one is of course the head, and the other is the heart, which is located between the fourth and sixth ribs of its left chest.
Understanding the structure of these creatures will allow you to kill them more efficiently in the future.
The ghoul's weak point is in its hard skull, but having its spine severed will affect its speed.
After finishing his research, Crown found some firewood and set the corpse on fire. The only materials that could be used on the ghoul were the glands and canine teeth in the mouth, but after the Yangyan Surgery, these had lost their usability.
With a golden light flashing in his eyes, Crown summoned a golden wall.
[Magic Scholar: 736/2000; Level 2]
After looking at the proficiency of the skills, he shook his head unsatisfactorily and whispered, "For knowledge skills, reading is really a shortcut."
Anatomy is a technical job as well as a physically demanding one, especially when dissecting these monsters with tough muscle tissue, but the proficiency gained is not much.
He planned to wait until he arrived in Rhine City to enrich his knowledge base and possess the Golden Wall. Once an ability became a skill, it would become his instinct and he would never forget it.
With enough books, proficiency in knowledge skills increases most rapidly.
The fact that he used a book on herbal medicine to raise Farouk to the third level overnight, and raised his Magic Scholar to the second level in just a few days, was proof of this.
. . . .
Three days later, the team marched to the ruins of the town of Peru.
It was not until then that the townspeople learned that the town of Peru had been attacked by cultists and no one survived.
A thick layer of black blood was left on the stone bricks in the square outside the church in Peru, with small pieces of flesh and broken bones embedded in it.
Nick looked at the scene here and sighed.
He dismounted, took out the Flaming Bible, half-knelt on the edge of the square, and began to pray softly:
“Pray for the dead, asking the merciful God of Fire to send down angels to lead the lost lambs to the eternal kingdom of God; pray for the dead, wishing the living to bathe in the glory of God, always have hope and faith, and have the courage and strength to fight against evil.”
Crown also half-knelt behind him, silently reciting prayers, and many people in the team also spontaneously joined in the prayer.
The solemn prayers echoed over the square and drifted away in the breeze.
After praying, Nick ordered the team to rest outside the church first, and he pulled Crown in to investigate the situation.
The church was in a very messy state, obviously having been looted.
A smashed demon bell lay helplessly in the corner, and the small door of the room under the bell tower was split open, with only half of it hanging on the door frame. The ground was full of debris, table legs, broken bowls, torn cloth strips, and countless piles of dried feces. "These bastards," Nick sneered angrily, and he lowered his voice and said, "There has been no news about the priest in Peru, so there should be some useful things in the sanctuary here."
The two men first came to the prayer hall and found that the statue had been smashed and the head and limbs of the god had left the body.
Clown picked up the god's head that had fallen down the stairs, and was immediately numb when he saw that his face was also covered with an indescribable layer of something.
There are two ways to activate the Golden Light Bodyguard, one short-acting and one long-acting, which are introduced above.
