Whispering Poems

Chapter 4088 Human Alchemy

The man with the twelfth ring spoke, blood still flowing from his left eye. Even though he used magic to heal himself, he couldn't stop the bleeding.

The president of the Jade Alchemy Association looked towards the door:
“Red Moon. That man just now didn’t seem like the heir to ‘Red Stone’ at all. One of the two women behind him is more likely the true heir to ‘Red Stone’.”

She also used magic to help heal her companion, but the continuously bleeding eyes seemed to be cursed with an "incurable" condition, and could not be fully healed no matter what she did. Finally, they used a sage-level healing relic to barely stop the bleeding from the injured eyes, but there was still a slight burning sensation in the eye socket area.

"Over the years, the successor of Redstone has already been difficult to deal with. If that man isn't him, then who is he? Besides the 13th-ring 'Red Moon Witch' from St. Byron's Comprehensive Academy, are there any other ring sorcerers in the material world who are skilled in using the power of the Red Moon? Where did the successor of Redstone find such a powerful helper?"

I even have a feeling that man is probably stronger than the heir to the Redstone.

The injured man asked, and the twelfth-circle sorceress recalled events from 1853:
"When we went to Tobesk back then, didn't we hear about a powerful ring sorcerer from the lunar system?"

"But wasn't that the one from back then the one who called me 'Huan Bu Hui'?"

The young ninth-ring sorcerer accompanying the two asked in surprise, and the three of them looked towards the entrance. After a long while, the twelfth-ring man said softly:
"I'd heard of this person before, and now that I've actually seen him, the color of that crimson moon is even more astonishing than I imagined. I've seen thirteenth-ring warlocks before, but he feels completely different from the others. Is he really a normal human? What I just saw was the moon, but his true nature is clearly..."

Click!

A thunderclap crashed down from above Grayrock Pass. The three people inside looked at each other, none of them having expected that the heir to "Redstone" would be involved with such a powerful figure.

"The story of the tenth chosen one has begun. That legendary figure must have come here because of this, right? However, wherever the Summoner appears, there will always be important clues related to the chosen one. In that case, could it be that Lady Redstone or her successor is really this candidate?"

Unaware of the alchemists' gossip, after leaving the room on the third floor, he, Viggo, and Miss Lorraine did not leave the somewhat shabby inn. Viggo then booked a room on the second floor; she wanted to check the alchemical notes and make sure they were alright before taking them back.

Although the rooms on the second floor of "Lady Rose's Caress" were smaller than those on the third floor and lacked an indoor bathtub, they were fully equipped with all other "facilities." Not only did they have a heart-shaped bed, but upon entering, Shad even saw a torture rack that was usually found in prison cells, and he was very curious about its purpose.

You really don't know?

"She" asked with a smile in Shad's ear.

When Miss Rowling inspected the room, she found several black leather whips of varying sizes in the closet, while Viggo found a batch of illegally printed publications on the decorative bookshelf by the bed. Books like "The Queen's Slave" and "Falling in Love with Her Boots" certainly weren't teaching people how to become a proper shoeshine boy.

"This is my first time in a place like this. The fat woman who led the way told me that the different rooms here have different themes."

With a flushed face, Wei Ge glanced sideways at Xia De and said, to which Xia De replied:

"The smell of cosmetics is too strong here. I don't really like it. Let's finish this quickly and leave. Here, take a look at this."

He handed the black notebook to Wei Ge:
"If this notebook is really blank, I'm going upstairs right now to settle accounts with those three."

Wei Ge took the notebook and opened it to find it blank, but this was within her expectations.

She bit her finger, dripping blood onto the paper. After a slight flash of light, content appeared on the blank page. But it wasn't a letter for Vige; the notebook described a unique form of "human alchemy."

"Human Alchemy" refers to a special alchemy that uses the human body as a base to set up ritual arrays and transform the flesh and blood body. The human alchemy in the notebook targets the eyes. By following the steps to modify the eyes, it is possible to allow the eyes to contain a large amount of life force in a short period of time without affecting other eye functions.

"The alchemists just now said that before Mother disappeared, she was researching how to contain life force with her eyes, so this is the result of that research?"

Wei Ge said with some surprise:
"Even the Blood Spirit School can only modify eyes detached from the human body as containers. Mother's technology can actually use the eyes within the human body directly as containers for life force?"

She turned a few more pages:

"By containing life force in this way, the life force will still dissipate, but instead of dissipating into the air, it will be absorbed by itself. If it is not used to contain the 'distorted life spark,' Mother's eye modification technology is even more powerful than the eye container you seized from the Blood Spirit School."

Viggo's mother's technique wouldn't permanently alter her eyes, and judging from the notes, it was indeed remarkable. But the more impressive Ms. Lemaître's technique seemed, the more Viggo wondered what her mother truly wanted to achieve.
"Is it possible that the mother did all this to fight against the so-called 'twilight', rather than for her own selfish purpose?"

"possible."

Xia De nodded, but Wei Ge shook her head:
"Don't say that. I don't even believe it myself. Hug me and comfort me. Although my mother seems to be getting more and more powerful, I can't be happy about it. I'm a little envious of another colleague of mine. She is the only witch in our generation who has both parents, and her parents are ordinary people who live a very happy life."

Viggo snuggled into Shad's arms as she spoke, while Claire, far away on the island of Fatumumster, sneezed, wondering if Shad was missing her.

The alchemical notes provided by the alchemists were fine. Viggo skimmed through them at the inn, planning to examine them more carefully later. When the three of them returned to the city by carriage, Shad disembarked in the outer city to check if Mr. Bernhardt had any new information.

By the time Shade met his friend at Mr. Finch's place, listened to the grumbling Vampire Lord complain for a while about the terrible smell of the local sewers, and returned to Finch's Mansion, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

The vampires' sewer hunting operation went relatively smoothly. Based on the clues in the flesh and blood of the "life variants" they captured, they found several abandoned laboratories of the Blood Spirit School located in the sewers, and even encountered a few wild vampires.

Although these "kin" are not human, they have also undergone "new human" modifications. Presumably because they originally possessed racial advantages, the enhancements gained by the modified vampires are extremely exaggerated, making them much stronger than ordinary high-level vampires like Mr. Bernhardt.

Although Mr. Bernhardt's group had the numerical advantage, the visitors from Willendale still did not gain the upper hand after several battles in the sewers.

However, Mr. Bernhardt was not worried about those powerful kin. The purge in Velendale was about to end, and once the Velendale people were free to fully support the local population, he was not afraid of those kin who had become quite unfamiliar to him.

The investigation into the vampires continues; even if the kidnapped members of their kind are dead, they will find their bodies. As for the news that the "Bloodthirsty Ones" have already appeared in the area, Mr. Bernhardt has heard about it from Mr. Finch. But without hesitation, he decides to continue the investigation:

“Arcadia is such a big city, we will be more cautious.”

With concern for Mr. Bernhardt, Shad returned to the Fragrant House, where Viggo greeted him with a smile:

"Look, have I changed at all?"

【Eye.】

"The color of your left eye has changed slightly."

Wei Ge nodded:

"Yes, I used the technique from that black notebook to modify my left eye according to the secret method described therein. The technique is very simple, and now my eye can also store life force. Let's try it out."

She took Xia De's hand and made him sit with her on the sofa in the study, then she had him place his hand on her chest:

"Give it a try."

"Miraculous Technique: Life Spark"

The tiny flame was pulled out by Shade, and then Shade's fingertip touched Vige's left eye.

The witch's eyes seemed to light up for a moment, then she said with satisfaction:
"My eyes feel warm and my vision has improved."

She is genuinely nearsighted due to health reasons, and the glasses she wears are prescription glasses.

"Moreover, another part of me tells me that by allowing my eyes to store vitality for a long time, my nearsightedness can slowly recover, and it can also enhance the effects of eye-related abilities."

But Shad warned:

"It's fine to use your eyes to collect the normal vitality in the sewage treatment plant incident, but never try to use your eyes to collect the distorted sparks."

"Yes, yes, thank you for your concern, I won't do anything so foolish."

"Vegetables said sweetly, and nestled into Xia De's arms:
"However, I just tested it, and no one else's eyes can be modified in this way except for mine. This secret technique has very peculiar requirements for the structure of the eyes. Although it is not limited to me, it is unlikely to be widely promoted."

Xia De understood this quite well:
"If this almost costless transformation were universal, your mother would probably have become the greatest human alchemist of the Sixth Age."
