quicksilver blood

Chapter 210 Mercury Binding Device
"...Are you sure it's a lock?"

An Ruosi couldn't believe it.

No wonder he showed such an expression, because what Esther showed him was neither a shackle nor a chain, but a bracelet—a slender bracelet like a work of art.

It was hanging on Elcardo's left hand at the moment.

Three silver rings were hung on her index finger, ring finger and thumb respectively, and three chains extended from the rings, intertwined on the back of her hand, forming complicated and beautiful flower patterns, passing through the gaps between her fingers and meeting in the palm, finally Attached to a silver bracelet on the wrist.

It looks like the bracelet is just silver.But if you look closely, you will find that it is actually an extremely thin crystal shell filled with a very small amount of mercury.

If it is pointed at the light, the shadow cast on the ground even has countless Elcate ancient runes circulating.

Based on its material alone, it can be said that this is an excellent work of art.

Therefore, An Ruosi couldn't believe that it was this thing that Esther wanted to break.

"It can't be a lock anyway, can it?"

"Of course it's a lock."

Esther took it for granted: "This is a restraint device made by Elcardo to seal his own power."

"Restraint device...?"

An Ruosi was taken aback, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the black-haired girl who looked exactly like Anvilia.

Of course the restraint An Ruosi knew.

Strictly speaking, restraints are not a rare thing.

Those whose strength has increased too quickly, or whose attributes are much higher than others, must use restraint devices to live a normal life.

For example, if the strength attribute is too high and the physique cannot keep up, it is easy to be exhausted if you move a little. If the agility cannot keep up, you will lose the ability to control strength and become especially clumsy.And if the blood attribute is much higher than the physique—for example, a wizard above the golden rank—there will be obvious atavism in a certain part of the body.

Just like Roland's situation, his perception attribute is too high, but his will attribute is extremely low.Under normal circumstances, without the shelter of the Sleeping Mentor, he would have been spotted by Higgs when he was in the City of Fortune, completely polluting his spirit.

If there is not enough will attribute to base, high perception is just for scaring; if there is not enough physique to restore energy, under the impact of a large amount of information, it only takes a short time for too high perception to make people physically and mentally healthy. tired.

In order to avoid this from happening, people need some alchemy devices to constrain and adapt to a certain attribute, and then explode it when needed.

The gloves of Fist of Inanimate have such a function.On the one hand, they can restrain their strength, on the other hand, they can also exercise their strength, and when needed, they can also bless their already ridiculously high strength again, so that they can have such outstanding destruction at a relatively low level force.

The reason why the attributes of the players are almost all improved at the same time is to avoid this from happening.

Because the official knows very well that very few players will specifically create a panacea type of character. On the contrary, players like to make their characters have some very extreme abilities.

For example, it is necessary to completely sacrifice the combat power in the early stage in exchange for weapon masters and wizards whose combat power is almost incomprehensible after awakening the origin; or mercenaries who cannot even advance to the gold rank can even single-handedly brush maps five levels higher than themselves in the early stage.

Or the Ember Burner who Roland wants An Ruosi to change jobs, this is an extreme wizard who has sacrificed most of the enchantment witchcraft.

The characteristic of this profession is the humanoid turret.Emberburner no longer has the flexibility of a wizard, but has brought out the stand-up characteristics of an enchantment wizard to the extreme.When this direct profession reaches the golden level, he can even transform into a fire element life form for a short time, thus ignoring most of the physical damage.

——In this way, stand with peace of mind.

Such extreme occupations generally do not appear in aborigines.Only some famous freaks would study this kind of occupation.

The reason why there are more extreme professions like mercenaries is partly because this profession has a high reputation among the people, which attracts a group of children who like to dream of being brave and heroes...

Another part of the reason is that most people can't break through the black iron steps anyway.

After all, a black iron rank mercenary can even display a level of combat effectiveness higher than a bronze rank warrior. For the sake of livelihood, if he can become a mercenary, no one will naturally become a warrior.

As a wizard, An Ruosi naturally knew that when he advanced to the silver level, he would start taking medicine regularly, so as to suppress his excessive blood attributes, prevent himself from uncontrollable mutations, and become a real monster.

but……

Thinking of this, An Ruosi couldn't help but look at Elka again.

Elcardo...what attribute is she trying to restrain?And, why didn't she untie it herself?
...Besides, isn't this witchcraft only able to undo physical restraints? What this device restrains should be more than pure flesh.

Facing An Ruosi's question, Esther showed a relaxed smile.

"Relax, An Ruosi. It is indeed a physical restraint, there is no doubt about it."

"Think about it, even though it is a special alchemy item, it was already trapped in Elcardo's hands. So, the 'physical bondage' is already satisfied. You can definitely do it .”

Hearing Este's very affirmative statement, An Ruosi nodded hesitantly: "Is...is that so?"

Indeed, although this chain looks powerful, it does prevent Elcardo from moving his left hand freely.

From this point of view... just take it out of Elcardo's hand, right?

This kind of thing... seems like I can do it.

An Ruosi's expression gradually became firm.

He held out his hand to Elcardo who had a mocking smile on his lips.

But at the moment when he was about to meet Elcardo, a trace of hesitation suddenly appeared in his heart.

...can I really do it?

No, it's already reached this level, why don't you simply believe in yourself—An Ruosi's right hand hesitated a little in the air, and then pressed it on Elcardo's wrist.

Suddenly, there was a rattling sound like breaking glass in the air.

Similar to just now, but a more serious sense of loss quickly spread to An Ruosi's whole body.He inexplicably felt a crisis of death.

Instinctively, his right hand was pulled out like lightning, leaving Elcardo's wrist.

At that moment, a huge roar came from between him and Elcardo.

The invisible storm knocked An Ruosi away, and he fell into a coma.

Esther waved lightly, and An Ruosi, who was flying in the sky, was immediately fixed in the air, and then slowly landed on the ground.

"...It actually succeeded," Elcardo stretched out his left hand to look at it, his tone was full of surprise, "I untied one of the restraints Her Lady Queen gave me."

On the back of her right hand, the silver chain connecting the index finger was completely broken.

Along with it, the complicated pattern on the back of her hand also became tattered.

——At this moment, the sound of the cane hitting the ground came from afar.
