Chapter 87 Rainy Night (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Del called a few men to help him close the gate, and then he went outside to practice archery.
Crown continued to sit, thinking about his long-range combat system.
Compared with bows and arrows, he prefers guns more. If the ammunition was not too bad and could not give the bullet enough kinetic energy to penetrate the monster's body, he would have mastered the shooting skill long ago.
In the past, I focused on becoming a superhuman and improving my superhuman abilities, and did not explore the potential of shooting.
Now that he calmed down and thought about it, it was enough for the bullet to penetrate the monster's muscles. He could try to make a strong poison to coat the surface of the bullet to kill or weaken the monster.
Although monsters have a strong resistance to poison, as his herbalism skills continue to improve, he will eventually be able to research a useful poison.
In this way, he has the ability to snipe monsters from a distance.
The Golden Talisman can sweep away evil spirits and is very effective in dealing with spiritual pollution. If the Golden Talisman is engraved on a bullet, it will definitely cause damage to the bullet that can break evil spirits.
Even if it is impossible to engrave the Golden Light Talisman on it, you can soak it in Talisman Water. In this way, the bullet can also be used to deal with evil spirits.
It's a pity that you are powerless to improve your shooting proficiency now. Without bullets, everything is useless. Bows and arrows will be a good supplement, and there is great potential to be explored in the future.
"There's not enough time," Clown was a little annoyed. He had too many ways to improve his strength, but not enough time.
Not letting his bad mood continue, he visualized the Golden Light Mantra for several cycles to restore his energy and strength, and then continued to practice breathing techniques and the cross sword.
That is to practice the cross sword while practicing the breathing method, killing two birds with one stone.
. . . .
In the evening, the sky became overcast and a light rain began to fall.
After the sun's rays were blocked, gray fog gradually spread, mixed with water vapor, and soon darkness enveloped the earth.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Clown smelled a faint fishy odor in the rain. He looked at the holy water oil lamp on the tower and found that the range of light was much smaller than before.
He stretched out his hand and let the raindrops fall on it. When his hand was completely wet, he withdrew it.
It felt like there was something invisible trying to drill into my hand, but it was blocked by the tough skin, and the feeling was spreading to my arm.
Another thirty-six minutes and twelve seconds passed, and he felt a slight burning sensation on his hand.
When rainwater is mixed with gray fog, it will produce toxic substances that pollute spiritual perception. He and the priest had anticipated this situation. His behavior just now was to experiment the impact that fighting on a rainy day would have on himself.
The results showed that the toxicity was even stronger than they had expected.
The priest said that he had done experiments and found that if one stayed in the gray fog without any protection, it would take three hours for the body to start to show adverse reactions. The average person could only last about twenty minutes in the gray fog.
The priest estimated that a second-level transcendent like him could not fight in the rain for more than an hour without protection.
Now that he had tried it himself, he found that this estimated time was greatly reduced. If he had stayed in the rain, he would have been able to hold out even shorter.
Klauen took out a bottle of golden talisman water and drank it. Then a warm feeling spread to his limbs and bones, and the uncomfortable feeling in his body quickly dissipated.
Geralt walked out from the rain, pushed open the wooden door, and cursed loudly: "Shit, what a shitty weather."
He took off his oilcloth raincoat and put it on a chair at the door. "I see there are still ordinary people keeping watch outside. This rain is poisonous. They can't stand it, right?"
“Fortunately, there are half as many people on night watch as usual. All those who are still on night watch are wearing raincoats like yours, with a layer of hemp raincoat underneath. The toxicity contained in the rainwater is more of a spiritual pollution, which cannot corrode clothing.
Common mental pollution can be solved with holy water, and more serious ones can be solved with golden talisman water. I asked Del to inform everyone, and if anyone starts to feel unwell, they can come here for treatment. "
"You are not a good friend. I need to buy the talismans, but you give them to these ordinary people for free," the demon hunter said with a sour tone.
"The priest said that the church will cover half of the expenses for all the talismans. Besides, there is nothing free in the world," Clown chuckled. The production of holy water depends on these ordinary people. "I don't believe you don't know."
Geralt knew it all. He gave a fake smile and took out six spirit coins: "I agreed to lend them to you."
Crown took it and looked at it, and found that the quality was two gray and four white.
Putting the spirit coins into his pocket, he took out the prepared talismans, two gold spirit coins, and twenty gold shields and handed them over: "Twenty-two Qingxin Talismans and twelve Jinguang Talismans. Are you going to pay me with gold shields or spirit coins?"
"We'll talk about it when you return my spirit coins." Geralt quickly counted the number of talismans. After checking that they were correct, he carefully folded the talisman paper, put it in his shirt pocket, and subconsciously patted it twice.
Crown took out another briefcase and placed it on the table: "This is for ordinary people to drink."
The demon hunter picked up the talisman and said with a smile, "Okay, if there is any left after tonight's vigil, that will be my reward."
"Okay, but don't play with people's lives just to save money."
"I'm not a good person, but I would never do such a dishonorable thing." Geralt was a little angry and waved his hand impatiently: "Go away quickly."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Crown extended his right fist and said sincerely, "Friend, I apologize for what I just said."
The demon hunter snorted coldly and perfunctorily touched the other's fist with his fist.
"Stay alert, good night."
The door was opened and then slammed shut.
"How can we have a peaceful night in this horrible weather?"
Crown put on an oilcloth raincoat and went out. He stared at the burning sacred flame on the top of the bell tower and found that the pouring rain had no effect on it. The raindrops were completely evaporated when they were still a few meters away from the sacred flame.
The illumination range of the sacred flame was not affected much and was still able to radiate to the entire shantytown.
This is good news. He turned and walked away.
When Crown returned to the backyard of the church, he saw Nick standing at the entrance of the rest area corridor.
He walked closer and asked, "Why did you come out?"
The priest did not answer, but asked another question: "Have you experimented with the toxicity of rain?"
"I've tested it and it's much stronger than we thought. I estimate that the safe time we can stay in the rain without protection is 20 minutes."
"Similar to my results," Nick nodded. "I also found that the Golden Light Talisman Water is more effective than Holy Water in dealing with the mental pollution of the poisonous rain. How many Golden Light Talismans can you come up with?"
"I don't have much material left, so I can only wait a few days to make a batch."
The raw materials for talisman ink can only be obtained through Crown's visualization at the hours of Mao and You. There is no other channel, which greatly limits the output of talismans.
The priest said, "If you need any help with the materials, remember to let me know. I'll be out on guard with Geralt tonight. We must be vigilant in the next few days."
