Chapter 242 The Brotherhood’s Response
Yennefer walked into the conference room with an unhappy expression. She had just been conducting an experiment of great research significance, but now that it had been interrupted, all her efforts had been wasted and she needed to prepare again.
She sat down uncomfortably, thinking: 'You better have a good reason. It's been quiet recently, I want to see what the motive is for calling an emergency meeting.'
Fili put her hands on the table, leaned forward and looked around at the people attending the meeting, and said seriously: "Ms. Lisa has made a new discovery, and I need you to discuss countermeasures."
She nodded to the spirit master and sat down.
Lisa stood up, took a deep breath, and said:
“Your Excellencies, about half a year ago, we established a cooperative relationship with Clown of the church and purchased the Golden Light Potion from him.
I maintain the dosage of one pill a day, and recently I got a little extra. So far, the spirit has been purified a lot, the generation rate of evil thoughts has been greatly suppressed, and the haze in my own will space has been completely purified.
There is no sign of drug resistance yet. I believe the spirit can be completely purified and become a real helper."
She explained the matter briefly, not saying much but containing a huge amount of information.
Carl Van Rich touched the mustache on his upper lip and frowned:
"Excuse me, if a third-level spirit controller is infected by evil spirits for a long time, can his will space be completely purified?"
If coal is piled next to a stone wall for a long time, the black color will seep into the inner part of the stone. All sorcerers understand this principle.
In Carl Fan's heart, the spirit master is just a bargaining chip and will never be considered the core unless he can solve the problem of being constantly attacked by evil spirits and bad thoughts.
He is also a senior pharmacist and once participated in a plan of the Brotherhood Headquarters: to research and develop drugs to eliminate the problems caused by demon hunters and spirit masters.
This plan took nearly ten years and a lot of manpower and resources, but ultimately came to nothing.
Lisa replied: "We can indirectly verify the situation of the will space with the purification array. You can first take a look at the difference between my spirit control and the previous ones."
After she finished speaking, an orange-red fire man floated beside her hand, releasing light and heat wantonly.
This is a baby-sized fire elf, with a body similar to that of a graceful woman, and its body is light orange and gray.
The fire spirit flew around Lisa and finally landed on her hand. The burning breath seemed to have no effect on her.
Roger Selch is another senior member of the Brotherhood, and at this moment his eyes are full of solemnity.
Warlocks can control the power of chaos to release the elemental forces of earth, fire, water and wind, but they cannot be immune to the damage caused by these elements. However, spirit masters can break this rule.
The elemental power of the spirit controller is as strong as the master's own power and will not cause any harm to the master at all.
Not only him, all other warlocks showed desire and fear for this power.
Lisa slowly scanned the room and continued, "Everyone has seen my spirit. Its original color was mostly black. When it was summoned, one could clearly sense the malice it exuded. What about now?"
Her words startled everyone, and they remembered the first time they saw her summon her spirit.
Yuling is a fire elemental spirit, but the moment he was summoned, the temperature in the room began to drop significantly, a faint fishy smell filled the air, and the black magic flames seemed to be able to evoke all kinds of negative emotions in people.
Now the appearance of this spirit has changed greatly. The black demonic flames have mostly disappeared, and the obvious coldness of the evil spirit has disappeared. It has indeed been purified a lot.
Feili glanced at the expressions of the others and said with a faint smile: "Everyone, how is the effect?"
Kalfan stood up with a little excitement: "Prepare the purification array, I still need to refer to the purity of her will space."
Fekart took out the materials he had prepared long ago, drew out the magic circle, and handed over the spirit-detecting compass.
Lisa stepped into the eight-pointed star array with a calm expression. Her will space was of course purified very thoroughly, otherwise how could she convince these warlocks to support her.
Kalfan activated the magic circle and stared at the spirit-detecting compass intently. Yennefer and the others also gathered around and stared at the small compass.
The silver flame quickly burned out, and everyone saw the crystal on the measuring compass emit an orange-red light.
It was crystal clear and rosy, without a trace of other colors. The needle on the compass indicating purity shook slightly and then returned to its original position.
'How is this possible?'
This incredible voice arose in Carl Fan's heart, which meant that the spiritual pollution of the spirit master had been completely eliminated, and the profession of spirit master had broader growth potential.
There are a large number of low-level spirit masters in the Brotherhood. If they can deal with spiritual pollution, the Brotherhood’s power will definitely surpass that of all churches.
This result was beyond Yennefer's expectations. She frowned and asked, "Based on the current effect of the potion, how long do you think it will take to completely purify the spirit?"
“It may take more than half a year.”
Yennefer said: "It has been too long, we cannot confirm whether the potion can completely purify the spirit, nor can we confirm to what extent it can be purified.
Why don't we choose two first-level spirit masters to conduct an experiment? After the experimenters confirm that the spirits have been completely purified, they should stop taking the potion for a period of time before holding the purification ceremony.
If the purification ritual detects no signs of spiritual contamination, it means that the potion has the ability to completely purify the spirit.
Since this potion can purify a third-level spirit controller, the time it takes to purify a lower-level spirit controller should be much shorter."
"I agree with this plan."
“Second.”
“Second.”
Seeing that everyone agreed with this plan, Fili coughed twice and said, "So do you think it is necessary for us to have complete control over this medicine?"
Fekater sneered, "It's a must."
Yennefer's expression was much more serious as she questioned, "The potion was made by a bishop of the church. How should we proceed? If we fail like someone did, how should we deal with it? Attacking a flame warrior and attacking a bishop of the church are completely different."
Fekart's face suddenly turned red and his expression became much uglier.
Roger said: "It's too early to say this now. Let's first test whether the potion you recommend can completely purify the spirits of ordinary spirit masters."
Kalfan thought for a moment and asked, "I remember that this deal can get 60 potions per month. Lady Lisa said she got some extra. Where did she get them from?"
"Bishop Crown, who made the potion, agreed to trade with me privately, but I need to exchange it with mithril."
"Is it a private transaction? This means that other people in the church are not aware of this transaction. Can we use this information to sow discord between the other party and the church?"
Yennefer shook her head. "No matter how much we sow discord, it will be hard for the other party to betray the church. Besides, we don't know how private this private transaction is."
"Yes, it is best not to use this kind of provocative means. The people in the church are not fools. Even if they can't find out at the time, they will find out later, unless we are prepared to break with the church."
Fili paused, and then said, "Actions against a church bishop must be supported by the headquarters. I suggest that we first confirm whether the potion can truly purify the spirit control, and then report the situation to the headquarters."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lisa nodded: "This is the safest way."
According to this plan, she can get the medicine for about another half a year.
If the potion can completely purify the spirit, then even if the plan goes wrong, her spirit will most likely have been purified.
"I agree," Yennefer tapped the table lightly, "Next we need to increase trading volume as much as possible, stock up on potions, and we may have to use some of our mithril reserves."
Hearing this, Lisa was overjoyed.
. . . .
9 Solent Street.
The basement of the mansion is divided into three parts, the potion room on the east, the training room in the middle, and the alchemy room on the west.
In the training room.
"Bang, bang"
The dull sound of thumping echoed in the small space. Del swung a wooden stick as thick as a bowl and hit Crown's body hard.
Crown had a vague feeling that his skin would become tougher with every blow.
At this moment, he was standing in a horse stance with his upper body naked, his arms stretched forward, his thumbs and index fingers raised, and the other three fingers bent.
The airflow driven by the Rock Breathing Technique flowed through his body, and a faint matte light flickered on his surface.
The progress of this breathing method was faster than expected. I still had one control potion left in my hand, but my proficiency in it could no longer be improved.
Del had been doing high-frequency hammering for more than half an hour and was now panting and sweating profusely.
He saw that the beaten bishop looked normal, except that the skin on his chest, abdomen and back was as red as blood, with a hint of dark blue, and he admired him even more.
He didn't hold back at all. If he had hit me with this intensity, I would have been killed long ago.
This kind of blunt force blow can not only cause direct damage to the body surface, but also transmit the force into the body of the person being hit, causing concussion damage to the internal organs.
Feeling that the opponent's hitting frequency and strength had decreased, Crown ordered: "Use more force, and faster."
The breathing method was just a little bit away from being proficient enough to advance to the next level, but he trained hard for seven days without any breakthrough, which had never happened before.
Later, he asked Fanny and others and learned that the training of Rock Breathing Method always requires "being beaten" practice, otherwise the progress will be slow.
Fanny even laughed at him, saying that almost no one could practice the Rock Breathing Method to a high level because it was too torturous.
Thanks to the golden wall or some other factors, he has not yet performed this kind of self-mutilation practice, but if he wants to advance his breathing method, he cannot escape this beating.
This is the third day of hitting training. His body's tolerance is much stronger than others, but he still doesn't feel comfortable when being hit.
Del gave a bitter smile. The one who was beaten was fine, but he, the one who beat him, was the first to fall down due to exhaustion.
Taking a deep breath, he increased his speed and strength, swung the stick and hit hard.
"Bang, bang"
He knew he couldn't hold on for more than a few minutes as his physical strength was almost reaching its limit.
Feeling the pain in his body, Crown nodded secretly in his heart.
He now discovered that occasionally a weak stream of air would flow out from his body through his pores, forming an invisible layer of armor on his body surface.
And the place where the armor was condensed was exactly where it was hit.
