Blood of Mercury

"Well, well, that's it... After applying the anti-infection herbs, I can use magic to speed up healing."

Returning to the carriage that was abandoned in the dark forest, Claude took out the observation monocle from the medical box, illuminated the interior of the carriage with magic, and said softly in front of Macken.

Roland nodded, and took a clean white cloth from the side to lightly wipe the ointment on his hands.

They were lucky, as were the carts and entourage that had been abandoned before. None of them had any problems because of the glimmering problem, but they waited peacefully until Roland and his party came back - they didn't even know that they had turned around before the gate of hell.

The old priest pushed the monocle, squinted one eye and looked up and down, showing a satisfied expression.

"Your technique of applying ointment is very professional."

"Where, I just learn it casually."

Roland said modestly.

"Little Roland, being too modest is hypocrisy," Claude took off his monocle, "Whether it's cleaning wounds or the configuration of herbs, even by my standards, it's pretty good. You can treat any injuries below serious injuries. Can you handle it by yourself? Also, your herbs are not bad…”

"—Looking at this technique, you are mainly responsible for treatment in your organization? That's why you didn't go to pursue it?"

Suddenly, Claude asked with a smile.

Roland didn't talk to him, just raised his head and smiled at him, then lightly raised the head of the sleeping Macon, turned around and skillfully picked up a few herbs from Claude's medical box and put them in mouth.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Claude didn't get angry. He just smiled and shook his head, knowing that he had a clue.

Immediately, he stretched out his left hand, took out the holy emblem from his arms, and held it tightly in front of his chest.

"My god, my lord, Sivir is merciful, and may the chariot run through all the grass without any harm."

As Claude closed his eyes and prayed in a low voice, a cluster of golden flames burned in his hands. He didn't feel the pain either, just let go of his hand above Macken, the holy emblem of the burning chariot wheel floated in the air, and a golden halo shone on Macken.

A standard six-ring magic [Injury Negation] landed on Mackenken, who was covered with an anti-infection icing ointment.

The function of this divine art is to deny the [injury] below a fatal injury within six hours—of course, it cannot heal the wound, it just keeps the wound from affecting the body's functions.

During these six hours, not only is there no possibility of further deterioration of the injury, but also the body's ability to recover will be the same as when it was in its prime. The most important thing is that the attribute penalty caused by the injury will also be removed, and the recovery ability will naturally speed up in the case of high physique.

To put it simply, this is an enhanced version of the first magical technique [Injury Stabilization] that Roland received in this world.

In just a few breaths, Macken's frowning brows relaxed, and his breathing gradually calmed down. The recovery ability of the bronze-level powerhouse was immediately reflected, and the herbs that Roland applied became thinner every few minutes.

It was absorbed by the body.

Unlike the Goddess of Life, the Goddess of War has the ability to directly heal wounds in a short period of time. She provides priests with direct attack and ability-enhancing types of magic, as well as a small amount of detection magic.

In the field of treatment, Sivir's priests are better at pain relief and injury relief. Of course, as a priest, in many cases, treatment is his own duty. Even if Claude is a defensive institution such as an apologist, he has been a stationed priest before, and his skills in dealing with wounds are somewhat master-level.

Therefore, under his high praise, a dark green light curtain unfolded in front of Roland instantly.

[Your perfect treatment of Markan's injury (burn) (severe injury) has allowed Markan to recover better. 】

[Possibility of wound infection -80%, recovery speed +20%]

[You dealt with an injury perfectly and gained 2 points of experience. 】

[In terms of injury handling skills, you were praised by the silver-level apologist Claude]

[Your ability to deal with severe injuries (burns) has reached the standard]

[Your ability to deal with moderate injuries has reached the standard]

[Your ability to deal with minor injuries has reached the standard]

[You got the characteristic, good at treating trauma (personal characteristic)]

Good at treating trauma (personal characteristic)

Effect: You can deal with traumatic injuries up to and including severe burns alone without taking a success rate penalty; you can take three to five standard actions in combat to reduce injuries up to mortal wounds by one level.

——Your ability to deal with general injuries has been recognized by experts.

Finish.

At the same time as the light curtain was drawn, Roland's treatment of the herbs was also completed.

To be honest, Roland is not a professional healer after all, and he is better at destroying than curing him. Without the help of Claude, it would be difficult for him to deal with an injury of this magnitude alone elsewhere. Not to mention getting this personal feature ahead of time.

The former effect was of little use to Roland, but the latter effect was an existence that could save Roland before he became a dead crow.

Roland smiled contentedly and did not hide it.

When Claude saw him smiling, he smiled with relief.

In Claude's view, people who get joy because they help others are definitely not evil people. Seeing Roland's smile, he couldn't help but feel relieved for the young man.

After all, whether the smile is sincere or not, his old bones can still be seen.

At this moment, Roland spit the herbs he was chewing in his mouth into his hands. Seeing this, Claude frowned slightly.

"Little Roland, I know you Druids like to handle herbs like this when you don't have tools, but don't I have tools for grinding here?"

"Ah, Father Claude, you misunderstood," Roland smiled at him, "I'm a half-goblin, so it's good for Captain Macon."

"Oh... No wonder you look so beautiful, little Roland. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Claude suddenly realized, and then assured Roland.

Races above the silver rank like fairies and devils can be said to be full of treasures.

Even a half-fairy, the body fluids on his body are rich in a considerable degree of vitality.

It's no exaggeration to keep fit, and it's not impossible to rejuvenate.

After all, one of the ingredients for the beauty-preserving technique, which has the effect of perpetuating youth, is the blood of the goblin.

Because of this, in a country where inhuman races like Banza cannot enjoy legal protection, goblins, creatures that cherish blood, are severely hunted and killed.

It is precisely because the goblin's body fluids are full of vitality that Claude does not stop Roland's unhygienic behavior from a human perspective. In the eyes of human healers, when the herbs are chewed in the mouth, some food residues and bacteria will get mixed in, and there is a possibility of infecting the wound.

But for the fairies of the children of nature, let alone any bad things mixed in, even if they extract some special ingredients from them, it is not impossible.

In Druid's hometown of Elkat, there are some black-robed druids who deliberately make friends with fairies, but do not capture them. Instead, they use them to help purify drugs.

This drug called Fairy's Kiss is very famous in countries like Banza and Titan, and is known for its extremely low addiction rate, good effect and high price. When Roland was in the game, in order to earn money, he also learned this ability from half-goblin friends who were engaged in processing in this area.

So when he applied the treated herbs to Markon, he was immediately prompted by the system.

[You apply a homemade ointment to Markon, and then all the effects must be judged separately before they can exert their full effect]

[Successful judgment... Macan's pain sensation was paralyzed, and your ointment caused permanent damage to his pain nerves]

[The judgment failed... Macon's injury recovery speed +2%]

[Successful judgment... Macon's injury recovery speed +6%]

[Successful judgment... Macan's injury infection probability decreased by -5%]

…

Roland gently smeared ointment on him, waiting for the most crucial judgment.

If this one does not appear, then Roland needs to find another opportunity to drive his own nails in the dumb blade army.

Soon, the prompt appeared in Roland's eyes—

[Successful judgment... Macken was initially infected by the fairy's kiss (from Roland White Quartz), and is not currently addicted. Within three years, when Macken is infected by the fairy's kiss (from Roland. White queer) again, he will immediately enter a state of deep addiction]

Roland painted the rest of the herbs as if nothing had happened, and smiled brightly.

The reason why this drug is called Fairy's Kiss is related to the legend of fairies. In folklore, a goblin is a very romantic creature, and this impression mainly comes from the well-known custom of two kisses between goblins.

Fairies are very sensitive, they can sense the sincerity of each other. Only after confirming that the other party loves and pitys you wholeheartedly, the goblin will try to communicate with the other party.

And after the goblin kisses her whole body twice, she will agree to the suitor's request. And once the lover dies, the goblin will immediately commit suicide.

Of course, most people don't know the second half of this custom—

If a person has been kissed twice by a goblin and no longer truly loves the goblin with whom they are in love, then they will die suddenly due to various reasons within three days, usually heartbreak. These three days are the final repentance period.

In addition to the dragon, a race with golden blood, even the existence of the high elves, which also flows with silver blood, cannot be exempted. Even a lich - if a goblin likes a lich - shatters and dies.

When Roland first learned about this, he was terrified, and he couldn't help but sigh that it's fortunate that half-goblins don't have this ability.

This is simply a racial venereal disease. No wonder the vast majority of half-goblins can't find their parents.

A goblin can live up to seventy years, and it takes twenty years to grow to a normal size. In other words, it is difficult to keep a sincere heart unshakable for 50 years.

Therefore, the first Druid who developed this drug and named it was definitely a literary Druid, a learned Druid, a... ruthless Druid.

Once the fairy's kiss made by the same fairy is used by the same person twice within three years, he will immediately become deeply addicted, and he cannot stop using most methods, and can only get worse until death.

When the Dumb Blade Force recruits the Silent Swordsmen, they will conduct a large-scale inspection. These include various addiction tests and torture tests. Once it is not passed, it will be directly executed in secret, and there will be no possibility of revealing this troop.

In order to ensure that Maken could enter the dumb blade, Roland even destroyed most of his pain nerves. In this way, he can support more time in the torture test.

And in order for him to pass the addiction test and other mind control tests, Roland didn't dare to control him with something that took effect immediately, but chose a delayed control method.

Although the fact that he used a fairy kiss on a man sounds disgusting to Roland himself, he is an unwavering pragmatist. If necessary, he can do things like lure and booby, otherwise what is he doing with the female account, he is a proper straight man.

After confirming that he didn't need his help here, Roland righteously rejected Claude's joking remarks that he would marry Claudia, and left the carriage.

Looking up at the sky where day and night were completely invisible in the dark wind, Roland's eyes became more and more determined.

Even if those NPCs have become real people...

Thinking of this, Roland unconsciously grabbed his right hand.

The blood from when Pars's head was chopped off with Kluveen's throwing axe seemed to still stick to it, and it couldn't be washed away.

Thinking of the man who was strangled on a tree by himself, Roland's mood changed a lot. Maybe, those killed by Roland have their own families, people who care about them, and reasons for having to live...

Roland sighed.

Macken is a good man. If possible, he hoped that the backhand he had arranged for him would never have a day of use.

But if one day he really couldn't be saved without using this piece, he wouldn't hesitate at all.

"No matter what kind of mental preparation... I'm ready."

Roland said in a low voice, his dark eyes were like an abyss.

Next, he is going to get... or deceive Kluveen's favor, and then get a part-time job as a warrior.

He must become stronger as soon as possible.

at all costs.
