Demon Hunter and His Hut

Chapter 719 The Lost Body

"Wow!"

The mist in the bathroom was steaming, and a thin figure slowly emerged from the pool water soaked in green liquid.

Roger wiped the water off his face, exposing only his head to the air.

After the deal with Joseph was finalized, several carriages drove into the manor early the next morning. They were some common herbs that Joseph sent as agreed.

Roger's knowledge of alchemy is extremely rich, the only thing he lacks now is the change of the name of the medicine and the specific ratio.

For normal people, this is an extremely long process, but with the Hunter's Lodge, Roger quickly found the balance between different worlds.

The most important thing is that what he needs most at the moment is not medicine to increase his strength, but how to keep this body alive to the maximum extent.

The bathroom is full of water vapor, but in fact, it is not a liquid that evaporates due to excessive temperature. The water temperature in the bathroom is even below zero.

Filling the air is a special potion added by Roger.

In this potion formula, Roger also added something extremely special.

Water from the lake of life at the edge of Erod's world.

That thing existed in the depths of Roger's soul, and it became a pool of water beside the hunter's hut.

But in fact, it is no longer any substantial liquid, it should become a kind of material like the gate of shadow and the lantern.

It cannot be drunk directly, but under Roger's control, part of the regular power can be integrated into ordinary clear water.

Even if it's just an insignificant trace, it can be regarded as a deadly poison to ordinary people.

The color of the pool water gradually faded, and the mist in the air also slowly disappeared. Roger stood up, revealing his thin and pale body.

A faintly large hole appeared in his abdomen, and the edge of the wound lost its color, and even the internal organs could be seen.

Taking the needle and thread beside him casually, Roger sewed up the wound skillfully.

The liquid can enter the body through the wound, improving the absorption capacity of the medicine in a disguised form.

With that insignificant little lake of life,

Roger completed the basic formula, and now the body he manipulated even had some body temperature.

If you come into contact with normal people, it will only make people feel strange but not too surprised.

The formula still needs to be perfected. This kind of life breath can only last for a while, but the ratio of the potion does not require any overly complicated herbs. The most important thing is the little life lake water.

After wiping off the water stains on his body, Roger slowly got dressed and left the bathroom.

"Sir, the kitchen is ready for dinner..."

Emily was waiting at the door.

"It will be delivered to my room in a while."

Roger went into the depths of the corridor without hesitation, and followed the stairs to the study.

No abnormalities can be seen in the body, but the corpse cannot absorb food. Roger doesn't want a pile of food to rot in his stomach, so he can only try to avoid any normal eating behavior.

"yes."

Emily responded in a low voice, glanced at Roger's back, and stepped back carefully.

After recovering from a serious illness, this once extremely familiar figure made her feel a little strange. She was obviously still as thin as ever, but Emily always felt extremely suffocated.

Electricity, which symbolizes civilization, has not yet appeared in this world, at least there is no sign of widespread popularization in the memory of this body.

But even in a world with backward productivity, nobles still have ways to enjoy luxury and comfort that ordinary people can't imagine.

The original dim study room was brightly lit, and it was autumn, and it was getting dark faster than usual. Roger did not sit at the desk, but leaned on the soft couch beside him, picked up the book at hand and flipped through it.

His eyes swept over, but in fact all his attention was focused on the depths of his consciousness.

"It's strange, it seems that an unknown force has cut off the connection between me and my body."

Roger was thinking, this is a problem he discovered not long ago, he could feel that his body was very far away from the manor.

On the phantom of the hunter's hut, in addition to the original three sword marks, there is also a brand new sword mark gradually taking shape.

"It's really troublesome without a body."

Muttering something in a low voice, Roger put down the book in his hand, and flicked his fingers lightly.

A seemingly extremely simple movement contains at least eight unknown changes. During the change of movements, Roger also adjusted his soul power.

"The most basic zeros and ones."

"It's really simple and beautiful."

His eyes became confused, even if he only had a little experience, the power of the sword seal of Axi was far more than that of the seal practiced by Roger before.

In the process, his severely wounded soul also showed signs of recovery.

"It's rare good news."

Although he wished to get his body back immediately, Roger did not act rashly. This world seemed very strange, and it was fundamentally different from what he had experienced before.

It comes from the difference in the soul.

At this moment, Roger heard a sound of horseshoes outside the manor, and then figures shuttled back and forth. After a while of noise, there was silence.

He didn't think much about it. It seemed that the carriage that went out to buy goods happened to return to the manor. The manor where he is now has an excellent geographical location, with mountains in the back and a river passing through the territory near the manor.

Inside, there is also a clear and open lake, which can be regarded as a beautiful scenery.

Roger secretly calculated the unit, starting from the manor, it will take about ten kilometers to reach the nearby town.

Before the decline of the Anglo family, that small town was once a subsidiary territory of the family, but it was later deprived of its title with the decline, and the territory was returned to the royal family.

Although the nobles in this world are hereditary, they will not be passed on endlessly. If there is no new contribution, the title will decrease with the passage of time, and eventually lose everything.

Boom boom boom.

Just then, a gentle female voice came from outside the door.

"Master, Fabre has just returned from town, and he has brought back some of your favorite gadgets, as well as the latest newspaper."

It was the housekeeper in the manor who spoke, and Roger noticed that she called herself completely different from Emily and the others.

"newspaper?"

Roger was immediately interested.

Not long after, the neatly folded newspaper, exuding the smell of fresh ink, was brought to the study.

Along with the newspaper, there were a few novelty-looking gadgets.

A thing like a monocular, and a delicate copper box.

For these things, Roger just fiddled with them casually. After all, these are little things that the original owner of the body once liked. It would be a little abnormal if he didn't care at all.

He didn't notice that, seeing his lack of interest, the housekeeper standing aside seemed relieved, asked Roger if he needed tea to refresh himself, and then bowed and left.

"Lookout"

The newspaper was not thick, and the typesetting was a bit rigid, so he flipped through it casually, but Roger didn't find any information on marriage proposals such as good image and good temperament.

On the original headline, a line of bold characters is marked in bold font.

"Border conflict, friction may escalate!"

Roger glanced around, and the newspaper mentioned that a fortress on the border between the Kingdom of Serwell and the Federal Republic of Tarun suffered a surprise attack just a month ago.

It is said that a spy secretly detonated the gunpowder inside the base, which caused a large-scale explosion and riot, directly causing hundreds of casualties.

The Serwell kingdom where Roger is located is relatively traditional, and the royal family and nobles rule the country.

In comparison, the nearby Tarun Federation also has nobles, but it does not have the huge power of the Serwell Kingdom.

With knowledge of the history of another world, Roger could see the reason for the friction in this situation.

One is the traditional aristocracy, and the other is more like the emerging bourgeoisie.

In this case, contradictions are inevitable.

This time the fortress attack was like a fuse, which instantly escalated the already tense situation.

Some people in the kingdom even believed that war was inevitable.

This report reorganizes the development of events in the past month, from which Roger can understand the situation within the kingdom.

But he didn't take this kind of thing to heart when he looked at it. The most powerful transcendent is always above ordinary forces.

All he needs to pay attention to is always those few.

If it weren't for the damage to his strength now, he might not have even looked at this kind of thing.

In addition to this recent event, the newspapers also recorded some other information, including some gossip and some speculative speculation.

It seems that no matter in any world, gossip is an indelible nature.

After shaking the newspaper in his hand, a slightly smaller single page fell out of the fold.

Pick it up, the handwriting on the paper is smaller, and the typography is more chaotic.

Compared with the lookout in my hand, this one is obviously much too much.

Some gossip speculations were exaggerated, and there was only a report of attending a concert, and the detailed affair process could be written here, with a sophisticated pen, and even Roger couldn't help but glance a few more times.

"It's really novel."

He shook the newspaper in his hand, just about to throw it away, but suddenly noticed the speculation in an inconspicuous section at the corner.

"The attack on the frontier has another secret. The so-called explosion was not organized by the Tarun Federal Republic's spies at all. According to rumors, the so-called explosion was just to conceal a more terrifying secret!"

"At the junction of the Kingdom and the Federation is a discovery that is enough to shock the world!"

Although the title is eye-catching enough, the content inside is really empty. Roger didn't care about it at first, but combined with the map in his mind, he determined the location of the fortress that was attacked.

Only then did he realize that the direction there actually slightly coincided with his previous induction.

"strangeness."

Frowning, Roger put down the newspaper in his hand.

The control over this body is deepening day by day, and some of his small emotions can already be directly reflected in the body.

"Maybe I think too much."

Leaving the study, Roger returned to his room, ignored the food on the table, stood in the middle of the room, and took out the long sword used for practice.

"Without the nourishment of the body, no matter how powerful the soul is, it has no roots."

The lake of life contaminated on this body can barely be used to maintain the characteristics of a living person. The body and soul cannot establish a connection, making Roger's recovery even more difficult.

The effect of the lake of life is powerful, but it cannot be used to directly nourish the soul. A slight increase in the dosage will bring terrible consequences to this corpse.

That thing can cause mutations in living people, and the results will be even more terrifying when used on corpses.

"If you can initially grasp the Axii Sword Seal, you may be able to nourish your soul through this power. It will be much more convenient if you can use the Shadow Gate further."

The movement of the hands didn't stop, and Roger controlled his body to move quickly.

…………

Empire.

In the splendid meeting hall, sits the great nobles at the top of the Sewell Kingdom's power.

But at this moment, in the closed hall, these great nobles who kept the so-called etiquette at all times were not much different from the citizens who had disputes in the tavern.

"War is impossible, never will be possible."

A middle-aged man with a beautiful mustache said loudly.

"If there is a war, who will pay for the huge war costs?"

"Is it you, De Guin, or is it you Willock?"

"Whoever wants to beat anyone, I will never agree!"

"Everyone knows how barren the land bordering the fortress is. If we start a war, even if we can win, we have paid more than what we have gained!"

"Do not hit?"

A cold snort came.

"The current situation is not up to us, because they are the ones who want to start the war, not us. When we are all arguing here, the secret spies of the Federation may have penetrated into every corner of the kingdom."

"How can it be?"

"The Federation's economy can't support a war!" Someone retorted.

"That's because there's not enough deadly temptation."

"Boom!"

With a muffled snort, the conference hall immediately became quiet. Everyone subconsciously tightened their muscles and looked at the position at the top of the long table.

A golden throne more than twice the width of a normal person was placed there.

A bloated old man with gray beard was stuffed on the throne.

His skin is very thin, almost transparent, and the tiny blood vessels underneath can be clearly seen, and his eyes are cloudy and looking forward without focus.

It seems that even breathing is a very laborious thing, the old man knocked on the table and made a dull impact, "This is a war that has to be waged."

"After this war, only one of us and the opposite Federation is destined to stay."

"But there are far more important things to do around frontiers and forts before war is waged."

"This thing is the cause of war."

After speaking a long paragraph in one breath, the aged Philip III paused for a while, but this time no one dared to interrupt him.

"A month ago, the border fortress was attacked. Of course, this is just an external statement."

"In fact, we were indeed attacked, and the death toll was more than five times what was announced. The ones who attacked us were not federal spies and those extraordinary, but..."

"A corpse!"

"No, you can't say that!"

Philip III's face showed excitement, "It's an empty shell without a soul, maybe it once belonged to a god!"

"Can you imagine that just falling freely, that body almost destroyed our fortress!"

His voice suddenly rose, "Tell me everyone!"

"Tell me a reason not to start a war!"

"We must bring that body from the border back to Wangcheng!"

"Now, is there any objection?"

After a long silence, a voice suddenly sounded.

"My lord, where is it?"

"Is it in our hands?"

Everyone's breathing was slightly suffocated.
