Whispering Poems

Chapter 3936 Blood Supply Room

The halfling witch, Miss Bradvi, who called herself "the baker" and "the mechanic," held her alchemical pistol in one hand and an iron bucket in the other. She then whispered an incantation, and nine warm flames floated in an arc above her head—a secret fire magic.

As for Gina, she is a pureblood gem dragon, and her noble bloodline grants her physical strength unimaginable to humans. However, the clean-loving dragon maid naturally doesn't want to engage in close combat with the bizarre flesh-and-blood creatures in the factory, so she once again exhaled a series of bubbles, forming a completely transparent protective layer around her.

Shad couldn't figure out where her "bubble magic" came from, but he was certain it wasn't a racial inheritance from the Gem Dragons.

"I am skilled in moonlight-themed magical spells."

Shad briefly introduced himself, then stood behind Madam Gustav, who nodded gently.
“I’ll go first, Mr. Hamilton, please protect Linor. Gina, you stay at the back and be careful.”

"Okay, ma'am."

"Then let's go. Remember, if any monsters we kill along the way have flesh and bones that glow with blood, take them with you if you have the chance. The Forge of Life only needs that kind of thing. But don't touch any flesh or blood that doesn't belong to you directly with your bare hands, even if you're wearing gloves, it's not safe."

The old witch waved her staff, casting the effects of "Silent Steps" and "Isolation of Aura" on the four of them. Then she stepped forward and arrived at the only door in the room.

She simply pulled the door open, and Shad, standing behind the old witch, looked behind the door. It was no longer the huge "blood collection workshop" where he had just appeared.

"Before the 'Forge of Life' is found, any door that is opened can only be closed from the other side; at any given time, only one door can be open in a room; monsters in different rooms can move between each other."

The old witch reminded them that these rules were actually designed to prevent intruders from turning back.

She stepped into the new room first, followed immediately by the three behind her.

The new room was only twice the size of the previous shelter room. The group walked out through a door in the corner, and another door in the room was diagonally opposite.

The blood-red light in the new room was even more intense than before. This was not only because the lights in the new room were brighter, but also because three huge cylindrical glass containers, as thick as ancient tree trunks, stood in a row in the new room.

The enormous glass tube was connected to the ceiling and floor by thick, rusted brass pipes, and inside the tube was a dark red, viscous liquid. This liquid, which resembled blood, was glowing red, and the pungent, bloody smell in the room was stronger than in the two rooms Shad had experienced.

But what's even more striking is the near-perfect human anatomical diagram carved into the ceiling. Outsiders have seen similar drawings in professional books back home, but none of them are as perfect as this one.

The "perfection" comes not only from meticulousness and professionalism, but also from the three "blood pumps" connected to the metal pipes in the ceiling, which, after bending and turning, pierced the head, heart, and reproductive organs of the human figure painting.

It was as if the dark red blood had been drawn from this painting of the human body.

"This room is a 'blood supply room,' similar to a 'water supply room' in a normal factory."

The old witch walking ahead spoke softly, as if worried about disturbing something:
"I have never encountered a room like this before. The notebooks we found only say that this kind of room has a stronger corrosive effect on intruders like us than other rooms, so we cannot stay for long."

But the notebook also says that the blood in the blood pump is the best remedy for physical wounds; as long as the soul hasn't left the body, pouring this liquid onto a corpse can instantly revive it.

"Of course, this comes at a price: the price of completely abandoning one's original race."

"I'm walking with Shad," said Miss Bradvi, the halfling witch, looking up in awe at the murals on the ceiling.
"But the blood in the middle of the blood pump is glowing; we should take some out."

The others did not object. Although there was no opening on the blood pump that would allow the liquid to flow out, the witches had their own ways of collecting the liquid.

So the old witch and the black-haired Linor Bradvi went to collect blood, while Shad and the pink dragon maid Gina simply searched the room. A rusty shelf and a tool cabinet stood against the wall; if it weren't for the bloodstains everywhere, it really would have looked like a factory.

"Mrs. Gustav deliberately gave us time to talk; she is a very nice person."

While they were checking the items together, the dragon maid whispered to Shad that there was a clear sound of blood flowing in the room, so as long as they kept their voices down, they didn't have to worry about being overheard by others.

Shad nodded and continued what he hadn't finished saying:
"I don't know if Miss Felianana and the others have told you about me, but in any case, I will take you away from here. Although you are one level higher than me, I also have some skills."

“Head Maid Fiona told us that.”

The dragon maid responded softly and carefully opened the cupboard door. Inside were not jars containing various specimens, but some rusty hardware. She put on gloves, took out a few items, and put them into the obviously salvaged handbag slung over her shoulder. She explained that some of the old machinery in the rooms had repair value, and that the halfling witch, Miss Bradvi, was very skilled at using mechanical equipment.

"So, in your understanding, how much effort would Miss Feliana devote to rescuing you after realizing you're missing?"

Shade asked again, but this time the dragon maid shook her head regretfully:
"Before I disappeared, Principal Feliananna took a large group of people to the Middle Continent to handle some matters and was temporarily away from the school. Miss Oranold and Head Maid Fiona were also in the group. This was a major operation, and the details were kept completely secret; even I didn't know them. They probably wouldn't be back for a while. (Extra Chapter 10)"

Although there are several other thirteenth-tier witches in the academy, they probably can't do anything about this place either.

Shad nodded:
“I understand. Then let’s get out of here on our own. But I actually have something I need to ask at the college library, you know.”

The silver moonlight slashed forward, cleaving the blood-red spider with a human face hidden in the corner of the cabinet in two. The "corpse" was still writhing and struggling, but Miss Pink Dragon had already spat out bubbles. Upon contact with the two clumps of flesh, the flesh immediately exploded on the spot, blasting into nothingness without leaving even a trace.

"Ants, spiders, and geckos are common in these abandoned factories."

The dragon maid explained, and Shad continued to ask:

"Do you know about 'The Book of Dragons: Breeding and Growth'? It's a document that Fiona brought out from 'Eternal Night City' and was written on the shell of an ancient dragon."

Pink Dragon Maid Gina nodded immediately:
"Of course I know. I've learned a lot about taking care of baby dragons from this book."

She then explained:

"Before being recruited by Miss Feliana, I was responsible for taking care of the dragon eggs and baby dragons in my clan."

As he imagined the scene, Xia De couldn't help but smile. While continuing to inspect the cabinets and iron shelves, he described the "moon egg" in a relatively simple way.

Gina had never encountered anything like this before. After thinking for a while, her suggestion had nothing to do with hatching eggs:

"Since that egg is essentially a seed, why did you only try to incubate it instead of burying it in the soil and caring for it like a seed?"

"Ok?"

Xia De was startled, and the "she" beside him laughed. Outsiders are usually very thorough, and since coming to this world, they rarely make oversights in their thinking. But this time, he even thought about letting Mia incubate the egg, but he really didn't think about burying the egg.

After all, he and Daniste had gone to great lengths to bring the "dead" back to life, and both of them instinctively resisted burying him again. Moreover, the egg was just too deceptive; Shad knew it was actually a seed, but every time he saw it, he would still think of it as an egg.

"That's a good idea. But convincing Danist to bury the egg in the ground won't be easy, but perhaps we could make a giant flowerpot."

A flurry of thoughts raced through Xia De's mind. Gina looked at him with her pinkish-purple eyes, pleased that she could offer her help:

"If this method also fails, then we really need the 'Book of Dragons: Breeding and Growth.' But I haven't been able to memorize all the knowledge in that book; some of the knowledge can only be understood and used by looking at the content."

Perhaps you should go to the college library yourself and check that book out.

Xia De nodded:

"That was my original plan too. But we'll deal with that later; let's focus on this matter first."

There wasn't much noteworthy on the cabinets and iron shelves. After Shad and the dragon maid finished their search, Mrs. Gustav and Miss Linor Bradvi had also retrieved a whole bottle of glowing blood from the glass jar.

The two didn't even dare to touch the bottle directly, but instead let it float carefully towards the iron bucket and then fall inside.

Shad, of course, wouldn't rashly ask to touch the bottle, but he did indeed sense a familiar power within the glowing liquid:

Have you ever heard of 'firstborn flesh and blood'?

This was absolutely secret knowledge in the Sixth Era, and Shad learned it from that high-ranking pseudo-human. Even now, in the Fifth Era, the three witches are equally unaware of it.

Shad explained to them:
"Legend has it that before creating the first race, the ancient god of creation first created a mass of omnipotent flesh and blood, which is known as the 'Firstborn Flesh and Blood.' I have come into contact with the degraded Firstborn Flesh and Blood. The bottle of blood you collected also contains a similar power, but that power is very faint. Even I almost couldn't sense it."
