Imperial Crown
Chapter 54
"Take it."
Raven took out the magic core from the wooden box and threw it into Weisdon's hand. He used the Eye of Truth to observe for a while, and then replaced it with a new magic core, and so on.
Weisdon sat on the chair, watching everything that happened without knowing why. His mind was confused, but he didn't dare to move unless Raven said anything.
In fact, this step was to measure his elemental affinity.
Long before the experiment with domestic pigs, Raven found that the energy in the magic core would naturally approach him, regardless of the attribute.
This was also verified during the meditation process - Raven could not only absorb the light balls of the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind without obstacles, but darkness and light would not reject him.
Earth, water, fire and wind, plus light and darkness, are the six basic elements that make up this world.
All other elements are derived from this basis.
For example, the natural element is composed of earth and water; the steel element is composed of earth and fire; the blood element is composed of water and darkness...
Being able to be friendly to the six basic elements means that Raven himself is fully elementally friendly.
So in the experiment on domestic pigs, Raven began to pay attention to whether he could judge their elemental affinity by the energy activity in the magic core.
The method is similar to today, putting the magic core on the domestic pig, and using the Eye of Truth to observe whether the energy in the magic core will react and how much the reaction will be.
The higher the affinity, the more the energy will surge in the direction of the domestic pig.
In this process, Raven gradually discovered that even domestic pigs have different affinities for different elements. If they are strengthened with magic cores of corresponding attributes, the increase they get will be higher.
After trying all kinds of magic cores on Weisdong in turn, Raven was quite surprised.
This fat guy is most friendly to the storm element.
Holding the magic core in his hand, Raven was about to use force, when suddenly, a quarrel sounded outside the dungeon door, and then Nancy's voice came through the door:
"Raven, come out, I know you are in there!"
Throwing the gloves on the table, Raven sighed, turned to Weisdong and said, "Sit down and don't move."
The latter nodded like pounding garlic.
Walking to the door, Raven opened the cell door with a sound, his eyes swept over the soldiers who bowed their heads on both sides, Jenny who looked apologetic, and finally fell on the arrogant Nancy.
Here it comes again!
"Have I ever told you not to let anyone disturb me when I'm doing experiments? What's wrong with your ears? Don't you understand what people say?" Raven stared at Volaf and scolded him harshly.
Even Nancy could tell at the first time that Raven was making a veiled complaint, and said arrogantly: "Raven, stop being so pretentious, tell me, what will it take for you to take me to the Bloody Highlands?"
"I said, it's impossible!" Raven frowned and said impatiently: "And I'm doing a very important experiment, please don't bother me again!"
He was about to slam the door.
However, Nancy immediately held the door and asked curiously: "Speaking of this, I'm still very curious, what are you doing, and why are you so mysterious every day?"
"It's none of your business." Raven said.
"Hey, you said you don't want to close it, so you don't have to? I don't believe it!" Nancy rolled her eyes: "Let me go in and take a look!"
As she said that, she was about to squeeze in through the crack of the door.
Raven moved his body and blocked her way, saying coldly: "Miss Nancy, please respect yourself. This is about the privacy of a mage."
"What are you afraid of? I'm also a mage, and I'm a second-level mage!" Nancy smiled proudly: "Let me see what experiment you are doing, maybe I can give you some advice!"
Seeing that reason didn't make sense, Raven used his ultimate weapon - a slap.
"It's no use threatening me." Nancy shrank back, and a little cunning flashed across her eyebrows: "Raven, I know your secret!"
"What secret?" Raven was stunned.
"I just saw you locked up Weisdong in there." Nancy lowered her voice: "You are conducting human experiments that are expressly prohibited, right?"
The voice was not loud, but the dungeon was still very quiet. The word "human experiment" echoed in the prison and entered Weisdong's ears, who had long been terrified, and made him scream:
"Ah~"
"Miss Nancy!" Weisdong howled as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Miss Nancy, I know you have me in your heart. You are here to save me, right?"
"Who told you to talk? Shut up!" Nancy said viciously.
Weisdong's voice stopped abruptly.
A smug smile appeared on Nancy's face, and she whispered: "Hehe, I knew I was right. If the Church knew about this, you would not have a good ending!"
"But don't worry, I can keep it secret."
Raven immediately saw through her thoughts: "The condition is that I take you to the Bloody Highlands, right?"
Nancy's eyes lit up: "So you agree?"
"Hehe!" Raven slammed the door.
"Raven, I haven't finished talking yet, come out!" Nancy kicked the prison door angrily, but after waiting for a while, she couldn't hear any response, so she could only pout and turn away.
"Wait, I'll come to you again!"
As for the "human experiment", she certainly wouldn't tell anyone.
Wesdon was annoying enough, for one thing.
More importantly, if Raven is burned at the stake, who will take her to Bloody Heights?
"Lord Baron, I just... was just acting!" Vesdon's fat face was full of smiles, and his voice trembled as he said: "With your compassionate character and broad mind, you will definitely forgive me, right? Bar?"
Without comment, Raven took out a small natural crystal bottle and placed it on the table. He picked up the magic core of the storm attribute and crushed it gently. At the same time, he opened the Eye of Truth.
Sky-blue energy splashed out, and purple-black rotten soul essence floated in it.
His mental power was mobilized at this moment. He narrowed his eyes slightly and guided the dissipated energy towards Vesdon while pulling, blocking and separating the rotten soul essence, and poured it into the crystal bottle.
To be precise, it is a crystal block in the shape of a bottle, because it is not hollow.
The purple-black aura passed through the outer layer and settled in the core of the crystal. There was originally a lot of rotten soul essence stored there, but now it was stirred up, like a layer of vague mist permeating the inner layer.
For Raven, using magic core energy was familiar, but in Vesdon's eyes it was a completely different situation.
He did not have the Eyes of Truth and could not see the energy escaping in the air. He could only see that Raven's eyes turned into a terrifying silver color, and the purple-black breath in the crystal bottle kept flowing, dancing like a worm.
So scary!
Immediately afterwards, an itchy and swollen feeling filled my body.
A force squeezed Vesdon's heart, and the blood flowed rapidly. It felt like a big stone was pressing on his chest, and it became difficult to breathe.
He opened his mouth and gasped, but he didn't feel any better. The huge pressure brought by the blood flow made him feel like his eyes were being squeezed out of their sockets.
"Lord Baron...!!" His voice changed slightly: "Stop, please stop, I'm going to die, I'm really going to die!!!"
Raven didn't even raise his eyelids: "Aren't you very angry?"
Upon hearing this, Vesdon quickly covered his chest: "...this is, this is...'the sunset'!"
"That's called 'returning to the light'!" Raven couldn't laugh or cry, and then said with a straight face: "Okay, stop talking, do you think I'm harming you? If it weren't for the fact that you are my brother, this kind of good thing will happen again. Not to you!”
Vesdon felt like crying but had no tears.
Good thing? If it were a good thing, would you think of me? !
No wonder you want to keep me here for this human experiment today!
He guessed it right.
Judging from Raven's past life experience, no matter what kind of experiment is carried out from animals to humans, there are considerable risks. In many cases, the same content will be effective on animals, but not on humans.
The same goes for infusing magic core energy. Raven doesn't want to experiment on his own people, so Vesdon is of course the best choice.
But even if Raven's purpose is guessed, Vesdon's situation will not get better.
The speed of his blood flow was still increasing, and his heart was beating as if there was a military band playing drums inside.
The feeling of pain and itching permeated the whole body, and even the breath carried the salty smell of blood, and the breathing sound was as thick as a bellows.
"Huh...huh..." Vesdon's eyes began to become bloodshot. Under the severe pain, he grabbed his prosthetic limb and tore it off bit by bit with force!
He used his last strength to say:
"I missed it, I really missed it..."
Raven raised his eyelids and saw that Vesdon's face was purple, and his cheeks and lips were swollen, as if he had been slapped dozens of times.
At this time, the magic core energy has been filled with more than 2/3, and there is not much energy escaping in the air.
Well, that’s fine too…
After all, this is an experiment. Just know how ordinary people behave. There is no need to actually kill people.
After all, it’s not that easy to find a material that you won’t feel distressed about no matter how you use it.
Thinking of this, Raven used his mental power, hoping to stop indoctrinating Vesdon.
"Huh?"
A trace of surprise appeared in Raven's eyes.
In his experience, this absorption can be cut off freely, and has never failed in domestic pigs before.
But it was completely different when it came to Vesdon. Although the cutting was successful at the first moment, a suction force was spontaneously generated on his body at the next moment, pulling back the energy that should have escaped, and the speed was reversed. It’s even sped up!
Humans and animals are indeed different.
When Raven was studying before, he was still confused. Even if the magic core contained rotten soul essence, the rotten soul essence itself could be slowly dispelled.
The magic core is very cheap, so why can't the knights consume the energy in the magic core bit by bit?
It now appears that the human body's affinity for elements far exceeds that of livestock such as domestic pigs. Once the absorption process begins, it cannot be stopped by subjective will alone.
However, if he was forced to stop it, Raven could still do it, but now only less than 1/5 of the energy dissipated in the air was left, so there was no need to continue to block it.
"He...he!!!"
When the last bit of energy penetrated Vesdon's body, his breathing became more and more intense, his mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted, foam began to pour out of the corners of his mouth, his eyes rolled up, his hands and feet began to twitch violently, and even the chair rubbed against the ground. Making bursts of noise.
Finally, he jerked his hands and feet, breaking the armrests of the chair into pieces, and then there was no movement.
He's not really dead, is he?
Raven swallowed, reached out to feel his breath, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, at least the person is still alive.
There was a sudden sound, and Vesdon sat up from his chair.
Raven was startled and asked tentatively: "Vesdon, how do you feel?"
"Huh?" Wei Dong sniffed, came to his senses, and wiped the foam from his mouth:
"It feels...so good!"
He turned his neck, and there was a crisp sound like exploding beans: "I have never felt so strong!"
Weston stood up, and with a click, the chair under him turned into pieces of wood. He looked at his palms in surprise, and couldn't believe it. He moved his legs again and jumped hard!
Boom!
"Hey!!"
The dungeon was not high to begin with, so he hit the ceiling directly, knocking his eyes so hard that he shouted: "It hurts, it hurts..."
Just when his palm touched the top of his head, he suddenly froze: "Eh? No bleeding?"
He rubbed it twice more, and the pain disappeared.
Weisidong clenched his fists and felt an unprecedented sense of power: "This is really powerful. I feel like I can kill a blood-eyed war horse with one punch."
Not only has his strength become stronger, Vesdon feels that his body has become much lighter. With a little exertion, the outline of the muscles can be stretched out of the fabric and emerge.
He lifted up his clothes, looked down, and saw a six-pack on his stomach!
A joy filled Vesdon's heart, and then a light of pleasure appeared in his eyes.
Damn Raven, you scared me so much before and used me for human experiments. You didn't expect it to be so successful, right? !
Now I am different. Today I will let you know what it means to bring it upon yourself!
He clenched his fists, stood up with a grin, and walked towards Raven step by step.
The latter was currently resting his eyes with his eyes closed. It seemed that the experiment just now consumed him a lot.
But as soon as Weston took two steps, Raven opened his eyes all of a sudden. The silver light dissipated little by little, and there was a cold smile in his eyes: "What are you going to do?"
"What are you doing?" Vesdon roared and rushed forward with a ferocious smile: "You'll know soon!"
However, looking at Raven's calm face, his heart twitched suddenly.
That’s not right!
Since this method can strengthen me, can't it strengthen himself?
It must have been strengthened!
Otherwise, how could he have pulled me up with just one hand?
And he's a magician!
When he thought of this, Vesdon regretted his impulsiveness, but now he was about to rush into Raven's face!
He gritted his teeth and became cruel.
Then fight!
A thud——
Vesdon's knees slammed into the ground, causing a large amount of dust to fly up.
A standard sliding kneel.
This made Raven's expectations, which were about to start flexing his muscles, suddenly come to nothing.
What's going on? Is it necessary to make such a big show of kneeling next time?
Vesdon had a flattering smile on his face:
"Hehe, I didn't expect that, Lord Baron, do you think my kneeling posture looks good?"
Raven looked at him strangely: "...No, you are not Vesdon, where did you hide my brother?"
"Brother!" Vesdon immediately climbed up the pole: "I am Vesdon. I am really grateful for your care and dedication to me. If I don't do this, I can't express my respect for you. !”
This sentence was so aristocratic that Raven had to give him a thumbs up in his heart.
"Really?" Raven asked meaningfully, rubbing his chin.
"It's absolutely true!" Vesdon nodded fiercely.
"Very good!" Raven clapped his hands: "Then sit back in the chair and let's do another round of experiments."
"Ah?" Wei Dong's face suddenly turned into an eggplant-purple bitter melon, but he still clenched his back molars: "Understood!"
Compared with the previous one, the second experiment was not as smooth. As soon as he absorbed a little energy, Vesdon began to cry out in pain, and all the blood vessels in his body burst. Raven had to forcibly terminate the experiment.
However, the excess energy was not wasted, and was absorbed by Raven himself, slightly increasing the upper limit of magic power.
"Brother...I'm sorry, I just couldn't bear it anymore!" Vesdon's face was full of uneasiness and he said cautiously: "How about we try again after dinner?"
"No need, you probably won't be able to withstand the next strengthening in a short time." Raven said nonchalantly: "Go out and do whatever you have to do, but you have to remember one thing, you can't tell anyone. What happened in the dungeon, do you understand?"
At the end of his speech, Raven's tone became colder and colder, and his eyes became more and more serious.
"I understand, I understand!" Wei Dong shuddered and nodded repeatedly: "Even if Mother asks, I will never tell you!"
After saying that, Vesdon looked at Raven's face, grabbed his prosthetic hand and moved towards the door.
Seeing that Raven had no intention of going back on his word, Vesdon opened the door forcefully and rushed out like the wind.
Raven ignored him, looked at the rotten soul essence flowing in the crystal bottle and sighed:
"It seems that even if it is strengthened with magic core energy, it must be done step by step."
After a short break, Raven said loudly:
"Ask Eric to come see me!"
Soon, under the guidance of Volaf, Eric came to the dungeon.
This loyal retainer cooperated with Raven's orders very well, and the experiment went very smoothly.
After testing Eric's elemental affinity, Raven shook his head with a little regret: "Tsk... what a pity."
"What's wrong, Baron?" Eric was a little confused.
"Nothing." Raven crushed a magic core with steel attributes: "Focus a little, and tell me immediately if you feel something is wrong."
Through the test just now, Raven observed that Eric's most affinity element should be "yellow sand", followed by "steel".
This is still under the premise that there is steel fighting spirit in the body.
The most suitable path for Eric should not be a steel warrior, but a yellow sand warrior.
But now Eric's power has long been awakened, and the path has been fixed. It is impossible to change the door.
Therefore, there is no need to say this matter and make Eric more troubled.
The choice of the steel-attributed magic core was out of cautious considerations.
After all, Eric was a first-level extraordinary, and Raven didn't know whether the magic core energy would affect the Dou Qi attribute. If it weakened his Dou Qi purity, it would be more trouble than gain.
Perhaps because he was a first-level knight, Eric's efficiency in absorbing magic core energy was more than twice that of Weisdong, and the side effects were not so serious, just a little sweat on his forehead.
When the energy of the first magic core was exhausted, Raven hurriedly asked: "How do you feel?"
"It feels, very wonderful." Eric swallowed and said: "The Dou Qi in my body seems to have become more refined!?"
He let out a long breath, clenched his fist, and then a silver-white Dou Qi burst out from his hand: "And the physical strength has increased a lot, the distance from the second level... seems..."
"One step further?" Raven asked.
"No..." Eric shook his head slowly, carefully considering his words: "I don't know how to express it."
"If I still had a long way to go before the second-level fighting spirit, then now the distance of this road has not shortened, but I just feel that I can finish this road faster than before!"
"Huh?" Raven was stunned for a moment, and thought of a possibility, and quickly took out another steel magic core for Eric to hold in his hand.
This time, the energy in the magic core was slightly more active than before.
Eric's affinity for steel elements has increased!
This is a new discovery. Neither domestic pigs nor Visdon had such performance before.
Could it be that... this is because Eric is a first-level knight?
Keeping the doubt in mind, Raven asked: "Can you still hold on?"
"No problem, sir, I'm very relaxed now!" Eric pounded his chest.
Maybe it's because Eric has a special physique, maybe the knight's physique can withstand more energy, or some elements in the magic core are used to improve Eric's affinity for steel.
Raven used up three magic cores of steel attribute before Eric reached his limit. Judging from his performance, if he rested for a while, he might be able to continue to accommodate more energy.
Although it was still not as good as the yellow sand element, Eric's affinity with the steel element had indeed improved, and his physique was much stronger.
Boom!
Eric's left hand hit the chest armor heavily, making a sound like a heavy drum: "Baron, your magic is really amazing. I feel that I have never been so powerful."
"If I fight an enemy like Anderson again, I will never be as embarrassed as last time!"
Although the battle with Anderson was a stalemate, he still lost the upper hand, putting Raven in danger. This has always been a thorn in his heart.
Although the consumption of mental power made Raven a little tired, the results of the experiment still made him quite excited. Hearing this, he jokingly asked: "Are you going to say that you are more confident about the next counterattack on Bloody Highlands?"
Eric smiled honestly: "Hehe, nothing can be hidden from the Baron."
"Okay, do what you need to do." Raven stretched: "Remember, don't tell anyone about this."
"Don't worry, I understand!" Eric said seriously.
There are ways to improve physique, such as the fourth-level "Bear Power" potion, which can greatly increase a person's strength.
But that kind of potion is often priced at tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and if it cannot reach the third-level level, drinking it will do more harm than good!
If it is really known that Raven only needs to use a few magic cores to strengthen the soldiers' physique, I don't know how many people will covet it.
In the next few days, Raven summoned his trusted soldiers: Gore, Link, Mosingan, and Volaf, and strengthened them one by one.
Including Weisdong and Eric, there were only six people in total.
It was not that Raven was reluctant to consume the magic core, but he knew clearly that this kind of power enhancement should be a gift and an honor.
If it is used too much and too indiscriminately, it will not show its preciousness, and it will also make the soldiers lack awe.
Two days later, at noon that day, Raven had just finished lunch, and Nancy came to meet him again.
Raven pretended not to see it and turned to walk out.
"Raven, don't go. I'm not here to ask you to take me to Bloody Heights!" Nancy raised her voice.
I don't trust you!
Raven rolled his eyes and quickened his pace.
He was about to go to Bloody Heights, and he didn't have time to play house with the eldest daughter of a noble family.
There were many things to do!
