Chapter 287 Extracting Silver

Marrow The Chimera that Crown had shot dead at the beginning was also found by the soldiers and lifted out of the snow by airship.

The cultist driver above was crushed under the Chimera and turned into a pile of meat paste.

The large wooden barrel used as a wine barrel was filled with more than half a barrel of Chimera blood, but there was not much bone marrow, so only a round-necked bottle was filled.

The cleaning was done very quickly and within two hours, the battlefield was cleaned up thoroughly.

During this time, the escaped two-headed chimera flew back and circled over the battlefield.

The human troops on the ground opened fire or shot with bows and arrows, but these attacks were like tickling to the Chimera and had no effect.

Clown saw a burly pagan sitting on the back of the Chimera. This was a completely mutated guy with two goat horns growing on his head and his body covered with fine dark red scales, somewhat similar to snake scales.

He fired, but because of the angle he could only hit the Chimera's jaw.

Sometimes the Chimera would fly at a low altitude, and Clown could feel the soul light of the pagans, who were silver-level cultists. The soul light was an evil black-red color, full of ominousness.

The cultist watched for a while, then flew away on the two-headed Chimaera.

Lannister stared at Chimera's receding shadow and said, "There are also silver-level fighters among the enemies. This is not good news."

Flanders let out a sigh and said:

"The spiritual concentration of the world has increased, and it can bear stronger military power. We humans can achieve silver. The cultists and evil gods are connected, so it is not uncommon for silver combat power to appear.

I estimate that there are not many silver warriors among the cultists, otherwise there would not be only one who came just now."

He paused, and then said, "What we cannot be sure of now is whether there are any silver-level two-headed chimeras in the enemy camp. If there are, today's fishing tactic is not safe, and it is very likely that we will never return."

Crown nodded slightly in agreement.

Although the cultists' camp was built in the mountains, the area was vast, and they did not go deep into the camp when luring the enemy.

If there really is a silver-level Chimera, its flying speed and magic power are much greater than those of an ordinary Chimera. The airship will most likely not be able to make it here and will be shot down.

Cavendish said, "We can commission the God of the Guild of Wonderful Objects to design a higher-performance machine to increase the speed of the airship. As long as the speed is fast enough, the tactic of luring the enemy can continue."

Today's battle results are good. Seven chimeras were killed. Each chimera was equipped with two riders, both of whom were third-level transcendents.

This is equivalent to killing twenty-three third-level fighters. Currently, there are about the same number of third-level transcendents in the entire Rhine Diocese.

If this force appears on the front battlefield, it will definitely pose a huge threat to human troops.

The enemy's strength is stronger than they expected. If they don't kill more of them now, it will be very difficult during the war.

Although many troops came from other dioceses to support, there were no more silver-level warriors involved.

If the four of them acted as firefighters, they would probably be exhausted to death.

"That's all for today. We'll discuss the follow-up plan slowly. Now burn the bodies and then retreat."

Flanders gave the order for the soldiers to burn all the dead.

The enemy has mastered the evil magic of flesh alchemy, and burning flesh is the basic principle of battle.

"If the bodies are burned, it will take too long. If a war breaks out, it is very likely that they will not be burned in time. We must develop something that can quickly dissolve the bodies," said Crown.

Flanders nodded: "This is a problem. The enemy's bodies can be dealt with more quickly. I will urge it to be resolved."

According to church customs, believers must be cremated after death because doctrine says that only in this way can the soul of the deceased ascend to the kingdom of God along the flaming stairs.

After the bodies were completely burned, the soldiers wrote their own ashes on their names and packed them up and took them away, while the ashes of the enemies were scattered in the snow.

The airships took off one after another, and as the airships flew away, three two-headed Chimeras flew out of the snow.

The driver on the Chimera's back communicated quickly in an unknown and obscure language for a while, then left.

If Crown and others saw this, they would definitely find that all these drivers had reached the silver level.

. . . .

On the airship, several silver-level warriors held a simple tactical summary meeting.

Flanders asked: "How strong are these two-headed chimeras? How long do you think it will take to end the battle in a one-on-one fight?"

Cavendish thought for a moment and said:

“For me, the Chimera’s skin is like the tough bark of an old tree. It is not difficult to pierce it. But if I were not advanced, I would have to use all my strength to pierce it.

If we go all out, the battle can be over in ten minutes."

Lannister smiled. "Two or three minutes is enough for me."

He majored in spiritual magic. Although the two-headed Chimera was powerful, it was still no match for him.

During the battle today, he calmly controlled the Chimera, ordered the enemy to open his mouth, and then calmly released a spell to blow up the Chimera's two heads.

"It takes me seven or eight minutes to complete a one-on-one kill."

Crown lied about the number; in fact, he only spent three minutes fighting the two-headed Chimaera on the ground.

This is because he did not release Fire Spirit Transformation and Bullet Time, nor did he release Wild Rage to increase his own status.

If he has full buffs, he can fight Chimera on the ground with ease.

Flanders nodded with satisfaction and asked again: "What happened when you were luring the enemy? Why did you attract so many two-headed chimeras? I saw many flying beasts following."

Lannister looked at Crown. He didn't understand what was happening. He only saw Chimera flying like crazy and chasing them.

The Archbishop and Cavendish saw the Silver Warlock's expression and turned to look over.

"Uh," Clown touched his nose and laughed, "I was itching to shoot, so I shot a beholder to death."

“Isn’t that right?!”

Lannister questioned, "As far as I know, the vitality of the beholder is very strong, and it has no weaknesses. Even if you shoot its eyeball, it will grow back in a few days.

Besides, the airship was two or three kilometers away from the cultists' camp at the time. Those guns wouldn't have such strong lethality at such a long distance, right?"

Clown explained: "I didn't use guns to attack the eye demon, but arrows made of special materials. With my current strength, it is no problem to shoot three kilometers with a strong bow."

"good!"

Flanders clapped his hands and laughed, feeling very happy. He believed that the other party would not lie.

The Eye Demons are a powerful clan of evil gods. They do not have strong attack power, but they are the best scouts.

It is extremely sensitive to all kinds of gazes. There have been records of an Eye Demon being able to detect a target from five kilometers away.

In addition to having excellent eyesight, beholders are also masters of mental magic. They can easily influence and control creatures of a lower rank than themselves, and then give these creatures suicide orders, which can be regarded as defeating the enemy without fighting.

There will be scenes of beholders charging on the battlefield. Wherever these deformed and terrifying monsters go, human troops will commit suicide. This is an evil creature with a higher killing priority than the silver level.

Although the beholders have octopus legs, they are very fast both on land and in water. The only good news is that the mental control range of this creature is only thirty or forty meters at most.

Cavendish also had a faint smile on his face and asked, "Have you detected the number of beholders?"

Klauen nodded slightly, then shook his head slightly:

"In my field of vision, I only saw one eye demon."

He didn't have time to observe carefully at that time. He saw the Eye Demon looking straight at him, so he bent his bow and drew his arrow. Then, it was like poking a hornet's nest. Immediately, a two-headed chimera and a large number of flying trained beasts rushed out, and the airship retreated immediately.

Lannister said, "I did see two, but when I looked carefully, my field of vision was only about one-third of the cultist camp."

Cavendish smiled and said, "According to this calculation, there are only six beholders, and one is dead now. This is acceptable."

At this time, Flanders pointed to the wooden barrel containing the blue blood of Chimaera and asked: "What do you want to do? It is difficult to remove the contamination factors in Chimaera blood using alchemy, unless a high-level purification array is used.

If we use a high-level purification array, it would be a bit of a waste of resources, and what we get would not be enough to cover the cost. "

Klauen patted the barrel and explained, "I want to give it a try. I don't have the corresponding potion to take right now. If I extract and purify the blood marrow of the two-headed chimera and take it, it can accelerate the increase of the flame breath."

"Have you mastered advanced alchemy yourself?"

Flanders was very surprised. He was present when the other party obtained the basic alchemy books. How could a high-level alchemist be created in just one year of practice? He didn't know that a lot of the mithril used in the other party's sublimation array was tempered by himself.

Without being modest, Crown said:

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"I tried to practice alchemy. I feel that I am quite talented in it."

It seemed like he had heard this before, and Flanders felt a sense of unreality. Why did it take others at least several years of hard work to develop their abilities, but you could so easily achieve the results that others took years to achieve?

“Boom, boom!”

A dull sound rang out, and Clown hammered the barrel with his fist and said with a smile:

"Everyone, how do you think these blood marrows should be distributed?"

The archbishop shook his head and said nonchalantly: "I will withdraw from the distribution. If you succeed, remember to give me some so that I can also feel it."

He himself does not know alchemy, so if he wants to obtain something he needs to hire a senior alchemist. This would result in a greater loss and it would not be worth it, so he might as well do a favor.

"Same."

"Me too."

Clown said sincerely, "Then I will accept it with pleasure. If I am lucky enough to refine some silver marrow, I will definitely let you guys have a taste of it."

The high-grade materials on these Chimeras were distributed behind closed doors by the few Silver-level people. If the others didn't want them, then they all belonged to him.

Then the few people divided the chimera's teeth, horns and other things. Clown killed three chimeras alone and took the largest share.

. . . .

The next day, it started snowing lightly, like fine grains of salt.

The sun was blocked by thick clouds, and a thin layer of mist was floating on the ground.

The mist was a little gray, and obviously there was some gray fog in it, which was not a good sign.

Crown took the airship back to Hamers City.

The plan to lure the enemy was temporarily interrupted, and they decided to find an opportunity to carry out a large-scale bombing plan, but the special airship that would carry out the bombing was being modified, and he was left in Rhine City with nothing to do.

After getting off the airship, the first thing Crown did was to head straight for the alienated area.

After arriving at his destination, he saw that in the area where he often released golden light, all the polluting laws had been expelled, without any trace left.

There is a clear dividing line at the edge of this area.

Four days had passed since his last visit, and it was somewhat unbelievable that the star creature had not taken back its territory.

Crown changed to another area, stimulating the life energy to release golden light.

Golden light pierced through the darkness, and a misty vacuum appeared around his body.

In the intervals between releasing the golden light, he saw that the crystallized plants nearby were showing signs of melting, which had never happened before.

"Maybe it's because I've become stronger," Clown felt a little secretly happy.

This shows that the laws contained in the Golden Light Curse itself completely suppressed the pollution laws of the starry sky creatures. In a sense, if he were to fight with the starry sky creatures now, it should be a crushing victory.

Perhaps in the near future, he will be able to completely purify this land.

The star creatures must have sensed his current strength and wanted to temporarily avoid him.

Clown continued to release golden light, and only when most of the life energy in his body was consumed did he reluctantly walk out of the alienated area.

[Golden Light Mantra: 76238/150000; Level 3]

[Flame Breath: 7185/50000; Level 4]

As his proficiency in the Golden Light Mantra continued to improve, the amount of life energy that could be stored in his body also increased accordingly, and the number of times he could release golden light also increased slightly.

Even so, the proficiency gained this time was still nearly a hundred points less than the last time.

. . . .

After returning to Hamers City from the alienated land, Crown immediately returned to the mansion and plunged into the alchemy laboratory.

He poured a beaker of blue blood from the barrel, preparing to refine the silver marrow.

However, before quenching, the pollution problem needs to be solved first.

Chimera is a creature made from alchemy of flesh and blood. From Klauen's understanding, this thing naturally has the defect of spiritual pollution. After all, it is a creature that is pieced together.

He separated two test tubes of blood from the beaker and placed one of them in the test tube rack.

Then he took out a golden talisman, lit it and melted it into the water.

When the talisman water was ready, he opened his spiritual vision and slowly added the talisman water to the test tube in his hand.

The talisman water reacted violently when it came into contact with blood, and the blood seemed to be boiling.

As more and more talisman water was added, the blue color of the blood faded.

In Crown's perception, the pollution in the blood had been removed, but the spirituality of the blood had been reduced a lot.

He picked up another test tube, and this time the purification method he used was the Heart Purifying Talisman Water.

Qingxin Talisman Water also has some purifying effects, but it is much milder than Jinguan Talisman Water.

When the blood is purified, the spirituality is not only not lost but is slightly enhanced.

After finding the correct purification method, Crown purified all the blood and part of the bone marrow in the beaker.

He heated, extracted and distilled according to the alchemical formula. After only one failure, he obtained the desired silver marrow.
