Chapter 261: Terrifying Good Luck

Walk back to the Iconostasis from Vera's accommodation.

As he stepped onto the stairs, the witcher deliberately closed his eyes and felt it carefully for a while.

The feeling of suddenly lightening the burden was as if it had never existed.

This means that there is no longer any evil god's energy in his body.

When Ianna checked in the morning, she also confirmed that the evil god's curse had disappeared.

"But why hasn't Mirage Pearl awakened yet?"

The demon hunter probed deep into his mind, and found that everything was normal except the link with the wolf emblem.

The thread connecting to the mirage pearl is as thin as a spider's silk.

Use your mind to call up the Demon Hunting Notes.

[Ding! Absorbing the fragments of the Gate of Ad Geis...]

"Has the evil god's gaze really disappeared?" The witcher frowned and returned to the icon room.

Under the dim candlelight, the three holy statues of Goddess Meliteli remain holy and peaceful.

After standing in front of the statue and staring at it for a few seconds, Ailin shook his head and returned to his usual resting place:
"Don't think too much about it. At worst, I can stay here for a few more days as planned."

"Now that we have used all the gains from the battle against the giant ghoul, it is important to improve our strength."

The decision has been made, and I transfer the Demon Hunting Notes to the inventory with my mind.

[Do you want to use Giant Ghoul's Heart Extract*1? ]

With a thought, cold liquid suddenly poured into his throat.

As it slides through the esophagus, it is constantly absorbed by the inner wall.

Before it could flow into the stomach, it turned into a hot stream and spread throughout the body.

【生命值：100%，体力值580/580，魔力570/570】

[Attributes: Strength 51 (+3), Agility 42, Constitution 58 (+3), Perception 47, Mysticism 59]

【亲和：水11（魔源·水1%）、地6（+1），风5，空间2】

The improved attributes are not much, but considering the giant zombie's huddled appearance as it fled, it doesn't seem strange.

Although I was a little tired, after all, I didn't encounter any danger.

Six attributes plus a little affinity are enough to make a big profit.

After absorbing the heart essence, it's the treasure chest's turn.

Ailin glanced at the statue of the goddess Meliteli, and then without hesitation, he focused his mind on the ghoul's treasure chest.

[Ding! Ghoul treasure chest*5 opened]

Four white and one blue.

[Obtain: Rotten Meat*4, Experience Bead*1]

Ghoul Chest performs stably.

The demon hunter took a deep breath and comforted himself that this was just a treasure chest used to increase the probability.

Then hold the amulet of the goddess Meliteli around your neck.

"Goddess Meliteli bless you... Strengthened Corpse-Eating Bio-Oil... Full Moon, Pure White Farad... Honeycomb Bomb, Foehn Wind... Any sword oil, magic potion bomb will do..."

The demon hunter muttered to himself.

[Ding! Giant Ghoul Treasure Box*5 opened]

Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold…

Five dazzling golden lights flashed by.

"Gulu~"

The demon hunter, who should have been ecstatic, swallowed in fear.

One gold brings joy.

The two golds are ecstatic.

The three golds make people overjoyed.

But the four golds...

Especially when four gold pieces came out of five boxes, it was a bit scary.

But this time, Ailin opened five boxes of hardware. Five golden lights appeared from the five boxes...

This definitely can't be luck!

The witcher glanced cautiously at the statue through the translucent panel.

Although he also believed that Meliteli was real, opening the box to pray was just a habit left over from his previous life. It was just a ritual that he didn't know if it would work, but it was better to use it than not. It wasn't really a prayer...

Well, it is indeed praying to the goddess to bring good luck.

But getting five golds out of five boxes is too much.

The probability is just like you want to borrow twenty dollars from your boss to have dinner.

But the leader transferred 20 million yuan directly to your card without asking why, and said you don’t have to pay it back.

You have to think about this in your mind: is the money your leader is transferring intended to buy someone's life?
Various thoughts flashed through the demon hunter's mind.

Even the cutscene of the five golden lights only took a few glances and it passed.

After thinking for a moment, he ignored the system's prompt and walked to the statue.

Then, he bowed to Him in the same manner as those goddess believers he remembered.

"Praise be to the Mother of All Creation, goddess of fertility, harvest and childbirth, eternal maiden, mother, protector of the crone..."

The ceremony is over.

The witcher bent over and looked at the ground, waiting in this position for nearly a minute.

There was no divine revelation or holy sound that suddenly sounded.

"That should be enough, right?" The demon hunter let out a sigh.

In fact, it would be a good thing if Ms. Meritelli really needed his help.

A gentleman does not care about his deeds.

The same principle applies to gods.

According to Ianna, the various manifestations of the temple, and the background of the original book and the game in the previous life...

From any perspective, the possibility that Meliteli is an evil god is very low.

So if this time the hardware was really something that Melitari needed from him, it might also be an opportunity.

Thinking of this, the demon hunter breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat back in his original position and opened the Demon Hunting Notes with a thought.

[Obtained: "Giant Ghoul Decoction" magic potion formula * 1, "Moon Dust" bomb formula * 1, "Blizzard" magic potion formula * 1, "Strengthen Ghoul Bio-Oil" sword oil formula, "Dragon's Dream" bomb formula]

When the demon hunter saw the system prompt that popped up, he almost forgot to breathe.

Decoctions, magic potions, bombs, this wave took almost all the recipes that could be found in the original world of the Demon Hunter.

However, the monsters that were eliminated by these recipes were only more than thirty zombies and a giant zombie that could only run away.

Under excitement.

The demon hunter immediately jumped to the inventory.

[Name: Giant Ghoul Decoction Recipe]

[Type: Potion Recipe]

[Refining requirements: Alchemy LV2]

[Recipe: Dwarven Liquor*1, Giant Ghoul Bone Marrow*1, Weak Red Mutagen*5, Buckthorn*1]

【Function: Adrenaline is generated faster than usual until the enemy hits you! 】

[Note: Hitting has a broad meaning, here it refers to causing a wound! ]

"Adrenaline..."

After opening the recipe for the Giant Ghoul decoction, the demon hunter glanced at the function bar and became a little confused.

Adrenaline is a universal "energy" in the game, similar to gathering energy.

It can not only replace vitality to release the seal, but also increase weapon attack and seal damage. What's more exaggerated is that after maxing out certain talents, you can even revive with full health.

But in reality, demon hunters can manipulate and stimulate the hormones secreted by the human body.

But what it can do is speed up blood circulation, provide more energy for physical activities, and improve certain strength, agility and perception, and it only lasts for a short time.

This is similar to the effect of adrenaline in ordinary people.

The most similar thing to the game is that you can stimulate mutated organs to squeeze out more magic power.

The other uses don't seem to be as great as in the game.

"Hmm..." The demon hunter looked up again:

"We have dwarven liquor, giant ghoul marrow, and buckthorn here..."

"The Swamp Witch Mutagenesis also produced a lot of weak red mutagenesis..."

"Um……"

"I have all the materials. I'll make a bottle tomorrow and try it out to see what the effect of this decoction is."

Click on the next recipe with your mind. [Name: Moon Dust]

【Type: Bomb Recipe】

[Refining requirements: Alchemy LV2]

[Formula: Saltpeter*1, Mercury solution*1]

[Function: Contains silver thread, which can temporarily prevent monsters from deforming and regenerating]

[Note: Are you still worried about the invisibility and afterimage of ghost creatures? ]

Moon Dust is perhaps the most useful item in the game besides North Wind.

It is not only effective against the ghost creatures mentioned in the notes, but it is also effective against vampires and cursed monsters, especially werewolves.

Unless there is a level or equipment advantage, Moon Dust is basically necessary to fight this type of monster.

【Name: Dragon Dream】

【Type: Bomb Recipe】

[Refining requirements: Alchemy LV2]

[Formula: Saltpeter*1, Phosphorus*2]

【Function: Release a ball of gas that explodes when ignited】

【Note: At least it's cheap, isn't it? 】

Uh……

He hardly ever used Dragon's Dream in the game.

At most, it will be thrown once to save bombs such as Honeycomb, Foehn and Dancing Star that can blow up monster nests.

And he couldn't remember which monster had the weakness of Dragon Dream.

So let’s skip this for now and wait until it’s manufactured to see its specific power.

Maybe it will be of great use.

After all, as the notes say, Dragon's Dream, which only requires saltpeter and phosphorus, is indeed very cheap.

and……

As long as you are not afraid of being blown away by accident.

You can make as many bombs as you want, which is one of the few advantages of reality compared to the game.

After reading The Bomb, the Witcher who likes to save the best for last skipped the potion "Snowstorm" and directly clicked on the upgraded version of Sword Oil.

[Name: Enhanced Corpse-eating Bio-oil]

[Type: Sword Oil Recipe]

[Refining requirements: Alchemy LV4]

【配方：熊脂*1、食尸生物油*1、腐食魔血*1、蒲公英*1、蚤缀*1、百解草*1、鬼针草菇*1】

[Function: Apply to weapons to greatly increase damage to corpse-eating creatures]

[Note: Use the treasure chests opened by corpse-eating creatures to deal with corpse-eating creatures. They will be in big trouble if they encounter you! ]

There's not much to say about the enhanced Corpse-Eating Bio-Oil.

Higher difficulty, more expensive materials, and greater damage.

Obviously, its main purpose is to deal with more advanced corpse-eating creatures such as giant ghouls and rot fiends.

However, it may not be as useful to Ailin as ordinary corpse-eating biological oil.

After all, Ailin has [Demon Hunter] and Elsa, and now there is a new sword, Balmer.

Ordinary corpse-eating creatures can be killed with just one or two swords.

Like the giant ghoul he dealt with today, he didn't need to worry about not being able to break the defense like ordinary demon hunters because he had [Demon Hunting].

Therefore, if the formula is too expensive or too troublesome to refine, the ordinary version will definitely be used normally.

"We still need to prepare one or two bottles..." Ailin pondered for a few seconds.

After all, the increased damage of sword oil will also increase the speed at which the [Demon Hunting] progress bar accumulates.

The greatest significance of this potion to him is that it proves that the potions, sword oils, and decoctions prescribed in the Demon Hunting Notes all have more advanced versions.

After all, although corpse-eating creatures are generally weak, their damage is excessive.

But for some other types of monsters, the higher the damage, the better.

In addition...

For the school as a whole.

Other demon hunters in the Wolf School do not have [Demon Hunting], so the enhanced corpse-eating biological oil is most useful to them.

Roughly consider the impact of enhanced cadaveric bio-oil.

Ailin took a deep breath and turned his attention to the most precious and useful formula today:
"Then, the next step is the highlight of today..."

Yes.

In his mind, even high-grade sword oil like Reinforced Corpse-Eating Bio-Oil was far inferior to this last potion.

A thought.

【Name: Snowstorm】

[Type: Potion Recipe]

[Refining requirements: Alchemy LV2]

[Recipe: Dwarven Liquor*1, White Amaranth Petals*5, Golem Heart*1]

[Function: When in danger, time will slow down]

【Note: Bullet time?】

As soon as the recipe panel popped up, Ailin immediately moved his gaze to the function column.

"Whoo~"

Seeing that the effect of the potion was exactly the same as in the game, Ailin breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart beat faster with excitement.

snowstorm.

The top magic medicine in the game.

This potion is indispensable to almost every demon hunter school, and can even be regarded as the core element of the school.

But let’s be honest.

This bullet-time-like effect is basically considered a top-notch ability no matter what kind of work it is.

With this magic potion.

The next time you encounter a giant griffin, the difficulty of killing it will be reduced by at least half.

"Dwarven liquor and white amaranth petals are in my saddle bag..." The demon hunter was eager to try, "As for the golem heart..."

He put down the candle and walked to the other side of the iconostasis.

Carefully searching through the magic materials left by Vera.

"Sure enough!"

With sparkling eyes, Ailin took out a piece of amber-like stone that emitted an earthy yellow magical glow from an exquisite black oak box.

"Ms. Vera is really reliable. You can find all kinds of precious materials here..."

The demon hunter was delighted.

But then he realized that the things around him were all instruments used to assist the ritual, and alchemical instruments such as the crucible were all with Mary.

"Forget it, let's rest today. There's no rush to make the potion tomorrow."

Ailin sighed, put the golem heart away and put it back in its place.

"Da da da~"

The footsteps echoed again in the empty iconostasis.

The demon hunter's mood gradually calmed down from the joy, and when he passed by the goddess Meliteli, a sentence suddenly came to his mind.

All the gifts bestowed by fate have been secretly marked with a price.

Giant Ghoul Decoction, Moon Dust, Blizzard, Strengthened Ghoul Bio-Oil, Dragon's Dream...

This would require the demon hunter to fight at least three large monsters like giant ghouls and giant griffins before all of them could be opened...

So……

This may be a precious gift from the goddess, so what does he need to give in return?

"Whoo~"

With a gentle blow, the candle goes out.

The iconostasis room was suddenly plunged into pitch-black darkness.

The witcher looked at the statue of the goddess Meliteli in the darkness and fell asleep again unknowingly.

then.

He heard someone calling his name.

"Ai Lin..."

"Ai Lin..."
