Chapter 342: Physical Changes



After getting a general understanding of Carl's wonderful experience, although Nia was curious about what all that knowledge was, she still let Carl rest first and then left the room with the others.

Looking at the empty room where he was suddenly the only one left, Carl felt empty inside.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with my body anymore..."

After posing in two bodybuilding poses, Carl paused, and then took advantage of the fact that no one was around to slightly adjust his trajectory.

However, after fiddling with it for a long time, Karl still felt that his clothes didn't fit him well.

"Huh? Is this an illusion? Why does this dress seem to be one size smaller?"

Frowning, Karl simply took off his clothes.

Then he discovered something strange about his body.

On the tall body, orange-gold lines started from Carl's chest and spread out to his limbs.

The patterns of these lines are exactly the same as the lines that once appeared on the adamantine key, except that the giant runes are missing.

After pondering for a moment, Carl immediately took out the measuring tool from his dimensional bag and measured his height.

"Two meters? I remember that I was 1.9 meters tall before I went to Storm Bay. Even if I'm still growing, I shouldn't grow 10 centimeters in half a year. Is it because of the giant's power?"

Thinking of this, Carl took out various measuring tools from his dimensional bag and checked his other physical data.

Although the attribute panel in the dream can display attribute values, it is too general. It cannot directly display specific values ​​such as grip strength, lung capacity, and jumping ability.

Soon, Carl finished the measurement and found that although his data had increased, they were still within a reasonable range.

After putting away all the props, Carl sat back on the head of the bed and tried to use magic to see what the patterns on his body were used for.

This attempt actually involves considerable risk, because Eberron's mages rely on magic networks and spell slots to cast spells, and their bodies have no obvious resistance to magic.

However, Arkanis' secret war magic involves the technique of using the body to buffer magic power, thereby increasing the power of the spell, so Carl began to perform it according to this idea.

At the beginning, everything went well.

The magic power began to gather towards Carl's chest and began to flow along the extending lines.

A faint burning sensation came from all parts of the body. Carl knew that this was a normal phenomenon of magic power eroding his body. He was now equivalent to being exposed to some incomplete attack spell.

If this were a game, a health loss prompt like "-1-1" would probably appear above Carl's head.

But as the magic power spread throughout his body, Carl suddenly felt his heart twitch violently.

Subconsciously, he activated his psychic power and tried to check what was wrong with his heart.

However, after the spiritual energy touched his body, it was actually attracted by the lines on his surface and entered into a certain energy cycle together with the magic power.

Carl's body suddenly swayed, and every organ in his chest began to throb as if it was about to activate and become independent individuals.

This is the characteristic of the flesh and blood mutation brought about by a distorted mind.

Just when Carl was about to forcibly stop this attempt and go to Nia to ask for two bottles of rare healing potions for treatment, his eyes suddenly blurred.

In the illusory and layered illusions, Carl saw a perspective view of his own body.

It was a body that was at least 2.6 meters tall, with a second heart growing in the right side of the chest, as well as a third lung, a pre-placed stomach, a plate-like skeleton and other strange and mutated structures.

This is almost a beggar's version of Astartes! 'Why do I see this kind of illusion? Is this a precognitive dream or something?'

As soon as this thought arose, all the illusions disappeared.

His internal organs stopped twitching, and his body remained healthy and strong, as if everything he had just seen and felt before was all just his imagination.

Carl, who didn't believe in evil, injected magic power and psychic energy into his chest again, but this time, there was no abnormality in his body.

On the contrary, the key that turned into a big sword somehow broke through the barriers of space and was summoned directly into Carl's hands.

This special summoning reminded Carl of his Arcane Knight characteristics, and he suspected that this key had become his third "magic linked weapon" for unknown reasons.

However, unlike the other two that are linked through professional characteristics, the Platinum Key is connected to his body, or the patterns on his body.

"It would be nice if I could change it. I rarely use cold weapons in combat recently."

Carl placed the fine gold key on the bedside without being satisfied. Instead of running to tell Hope and others about the abnormality he had just encountered, he concealed it.

Carl lay back on the bed, preparing to take a nap, but suddenly remembered that he had left something behind and had not measured it yet.

“…”

After a moment of silence, Carl took out a tape measure from his dimensional bag.

Air elemental plane, floating island.

After a long period of working, Tina finally saved up enough cloud iron she needed and spent three days perfecting her glider.

Looking at the machine she had successfully created, Tina felt the spiritual feedback. The spiritual core was like a spring, constantly releasing vibrant spirituality.

"Huh~, I finally reached level 3! What a pity that the village chief didn't buy the subsequent sub-professional training methods!"

She actually likes the profession of mechanic very much and hopes to continue on this path.

But unfortunately, there is no subsequent training method for the mechanical master on the floating island.

"Eh? No! Anyway, I'm going to go out on an adventure, maybe I can exchange information from other floating islands. In that case, can't I continue to upgrade the artificer profession?"

Thinking of this, Tina quickly ran back to the first floor and took out her most valuable weapon - a pulley crossbow with a burst weapon injection function.

"Yeah! Great! The stuff is still usable! In that case, let today be the beginning of my adventure!"

Tina hurriedly ran to the second floor and put her toiletries and Giant Note into her backpack. Then she returned to the first floor and pressed a button hidden behind the counter.

In the garden outside the house, the sound of mechanical gears turning roared.

Part of the soil slowly rose up, and then moved apart to both sides driven by the stone slab.

Soon, a passage leading to Tina's basement appeared.

The commotion attracted the attention of some nearby residents, but after seeing Tina busy at work, everyone smiled knowingly.

Everyone on the island knows that the air elementals are a group of guys who seek adventure and excitement, and it is impossible for them to stay in one place for their entire lives.

They knew that little Tina would leave one day, but they didn't expect it to be today.

"Hey! Tina! Bring some pumpkins and potatoes grown by uncle! It's not easy to get food outside, this is uncle's experience!"

"And fruits! Take these oranges with you. They can help you avoid scurvy. When you go out on adventures, you need to pay attention to balanced nutrition and a combination of meat and vegetables!"

Neighbors who had a good relationship with Tina came around with their belongings, which made Tina, who wanted to leave immediately, a little overwhelmed.

After hesitating for a moment, Tina happily accepted the gifts from the neighbors.

"Don't worry, uncles and aunties! I will take good care of myself! Maybe when I come back, I will be an outstanding adventurer!"

After putting the things into her backpack, Tina waved her arms and went into the underground driveway.

After a while, the roar of mechanical rotation was heard, and a glider drove out of the driveway and drove onto the road on the side.

The propeller was spinning rapidly, and the wings gradually lifted the plane up under the influence of the airflow.

When the glider took off completely, Tina maneuvered the fuselage to turn back in mid-air.

"Bye, everyone! I'm off on an adventure!"

After leaving these words, Tina drove the plane into the vast sky.

The cool breeze blew against Tina, blowing her long light blonde hair back.

Feeling a different kind of freedom, Tina screamed loudly in the air, happy like a fool.

Although the residents of the Air Elemental Plane can, through certain training, utilize the characteristics of the plane itself to allow themselves to fly.

But that kind of flying is actually more like "falling", except that the direction of falling can be barely controlled.

In comparison, although airplanes are not as flexible, they are at least relatively safe.

Driving her first truly complex mechanical vehicle, Tina drove for more than ten hours without sleep.

She didn't care about the direction she was going and acted entirely based on her feelings.

From time to time, she would perform some fancy shows in the air using a glider.

However, no matter how novel something is, if you do it for a long time, the excitement will gradually return to normal.

After her mind finally cleared up, Tina felt that she should eat something.

After turning off the glider, she took out an oven heated by the Giant Rune from her backpack and put some of the cut pumpkin that the neighbor uncle gave her into the oven.

A little magic power was input into the fire rune in the oven, and heat enough to bake the pumpkin began to rise in the oven.

Feeling that there was still some space on the stove, Tina found some milk and mixed it with sugar and scented tea to make herself a hearty lunch.

At this moment, she did not notice that in a cloud of mist a few hundred meters away from her, a group of mixed wind demon bats and ice demon bats had already set their sights on her.

However, the size of the glider gave these demon bats a great shock, making them dare not attack it for the time being.

In the cockpit, Tina closed the glass cover and looked at the petal milk tea that was gradually boiling. She closed her eyes with a happy expression and sniffed it twice.

She skillfully removed the clay pot with her gloved right hand, then turned off the oven and took out the slightly charred pumpkin.

With a "crunch", the roasted pumpkin is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Take another sip of milk tea...

"Ah~, I can live like this forever!"
