Chapter 687: The Blood-Sucking Species' Plot
Fortunately, the footsteps didn't stop outside the door but walked further down the corridor. After turning the corner, the footsteps gradually disappeared.
"Oh~"
Xia De let out a long breath, scanned the room, and found that except for the smaller area, the layout was very similar to the room on the third floor. It's just that besides Xia De and Bernhard, there was also a thin and short dwarf in the room.
It was wearing a robe like a rag, holding a bamboo pole and standing by the window, with a small kerosene lamp hanging from the top of the bamboo pole.
"Thanks."
Xia De thanked Mr. Bernhard softly. The latter shook his head. Xia De noticed that the blood-sucking species was also injured. Because of his race, Armand Bernhard belonged to the kind of person with relatively white skin, but at this time his face was blue, and purple blood vessels were particularly prominent on the back of his hands and face. This was obviously a symptom of poisoning.
"Is there any antidote potion? Blood poison."
He leaned against the wall and sat on the carpet slowly. Opening the door for Xia De just now had used up his last bit of strength. And if he didn't open the door, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for long alone.
"Can a blood-sucking species also be infected with blood poison?"
Xia De muttered in his heart, and then shook his head:
"No potion, but I have an antidote miracle. Wait a moment."
He found a container for water from his pocket, tapped his finger to make the blasphemous spiritual light flicker. Then he lifted the lower half of the mask and drank it in large gulps to treat the internal organs injured by the power impact.
Afterward, he poured the remaining water on his trembling wrist, but unless he cut open the flesh and dripped the water directly onto the bone, 【Satiating Food】 was ineffective against injuries like fractures.
Actually, 【Cynthia's Silver Moon Gift】, which specializes in mental treatment, can also treat external injuries, and fractures belong to its treatment range. But now it's daytime, and this miracle is useless.
"Try this first."
Xia De summoned clear water with the miracle again, processed it with Satiating Food, and threw the test tube toward the middle-aged man in a red suit opposite. After the latter took it, he only sniffed it, and before Xia De could stop him, he drank the whole test tube of water in large gulps.
Although 【Satiating Food】 doesn't have the function of detoxifying, it has a therapeutic effect on the body damaged by toxins. He looked significantly better, at least his speech was no longer the kind of weak feeling:
"What did you want to say just now? I noticed you wanted to speak."
"I wanted to say, don't drink it all at once..."
"Hiccup!"
Although this gentleman who looked very elegant was already a middle-ring and also an alien creature, he still couldn't suppress his instinct to hiccup. And because he drank too much, he hiccuped three times in a row before stopping.
"This is a side effect of the miracle."
Xia De said with a straight face, worried that he would laugh out loud.
"It's okay, it's very normal to have side effects."
Mr. Bernhard said with a normal face, but the straight-faced appearance was clearly covering up his embarrassment no matter how you looked at it.
"I have other detoxification abilities, but I need to treat my fracture."
Xia De showed his right hand, and the blood-sucking species nodded:
"I can treat fractures."
"That's good."
He came to the other party's front and leaned against the wall to sit down as well.
Armand Bernhard looked at Xia De vigilantly. The latter reached into the inner pocket of his coat, and then took out a straight wooden stick from it, which was absolutely impossible to put into the pocket from the length.
It was really straight, and it was something Xia De saw under the fallen leaves during the process of going up the mountain. Because it was too straight and had no small branches extending out, it was "collected" by Xia De.
"Is this an ether-amplifying alchemy product used by people in the Fourth Era?"
Mr. Bernhard asked with slight surprise.
"Ether-amplifying alchemy products" are actually equivalent to the "magic wands" of witches in contemporary stories. In the Fourth Era, this kind of thing was very common, but the witches of the Fifth Era didn't like this kind of thing that wasn't beautiful, and the secret arts of witches and the power system of the Fourth Era were also different, so they gradually withdrew from the ranks of commonly used alchemy products.
"No, it's just a wooden stick."
Xia De said, pressing the wooden stick with his left hand, putting down the long sword and extending his right hand:
"Treat together."
"Good."
Two people who were vigilant against each other held hands together. As the wooden stick in the left hand gradually became scorched, a faint green halo lit up on Xia De's right hand, while a blood-red light lit up on Bernhard's left hand.
【Seven Rings.】
Two kinds of light intertwined, treating each other. Xia De felt the pain in his right hand weakening bit by bit, and the blue-purple traces on Bernhard's face were also fading.
They released each other's hands almost at the same time. Xia De's wrist still had some discomfort, but it was no longer a big problem. Although there were still some traces of poisoning on Mr. Bernhard's face, it didn't affect his normal actions.
After they stood up, they immediately took a step back each.
"Thank you for your help, I still have things to deal with, see you again."
The blood-sucking species nodded slightly to Xia De very elegantly, and then didn't give Xia De a chance to speak, pulled the door open, and walked out sideways. Xia De knew that the other party couldn't trust himself, but he also didn't completely trust the other party, so he didn't chase after him to suggest leaving the 【Sin Mansion】 together.
Turning around to look at the black thin creature holding a bamboo pole and hanging an oil lamp behind him, which looked like a "goblin" in the story, the other party watched Xia De and Mr. Bernhard interact the whole time.
At this time, Bernhard had already left. Seeing Xia De looking at it, the latter gave Xia De a very ugly smile. Although it was not certain what the other party was, it was definitely not a pure human, because human ears would not be as big as his.
"Are you the trader in this building?"
"Yes, sir, is there anything I can do for you?"
It also used Delarion language, but compared to the old man who led Xia De in, its Delarion language was extremely non-standard, as if it was making sounds in its nose while speaking with its mouth.
"What do you have here?"
"I have everything here. Just now that vampire asked me for the 'Blood Holy Grail'. According to the evaluation of your era, this is a Sage-level relic."
"Vampire" is a derogatory term for the blood-sucking species, which involves racial discrimination. Fortunately, few people care about this problem in the Sixth Era. The correct official name is "blood-sucking species", and the flattering name is "blood clan". It's just that most other supernatural beings like to use the name "blood clan" to satirize the pretentiousness of those humanoid blood-sucking species.
And the "Blood Holy Grail" relic, no matter how you listen to it, has something to do with the blood-sucking species. If this transaction has already been completed, plus the three Sage-level relics 【Blood Crown】, 【Blood-Sucking Species Ring】, and 【Blood Thorn Scepter】 mentioned by Sister Feilian, then the local blood-sucking species possess four Sage-level relics at once.
This is a very terrifying thing. ===== CHAPTER 688 =====
