Artificer Adventure Guide

Helping Hope up, Carl felt the heat around him that had not yet dissipated, and asked with lingering fear:

"Are you... beginning to awaken your bloodline as a tiefling?"

As a race that inherits the blood of hell, tieflings are naturally resistant to fire.

In addition, some tieflings will awaken their innate spell abilities after reaching level 3.

This racial trait, called the legacy of hell, exhibits different characteristics due to the different physiques of tieflings.

Most tieflings awaken the spell called [Purgatory Shout] at level 3.

Hope's situation is quite special. She should have inherited the characteristics of [Hellfire] and gained the ability to release [Burning Hands].

In addition, some tieflings will awaken the spell ability to charm humans at level 3, and some will grow bat-like wings under their shoulder blades and gain the ability to fly.

"I, I don't know, I'm so hot now!"

After Hope said this, Carl felt the heat of her body.

Reaching out and touching Hope's forehead, Carl made a "hiss" sound, as if he had touched a teapot that had just been filled with boiling water.

Seeing Hope's eyes were already wide open, Carl did not dare to delay, and directly carried Hope horizontally and ran towards the wooden house.

Putting Hope into the wooden bathtub that had just been taken out yesterday, Carl took the alchemy pot and changed the type of liquid that had not been changed today to wine.

"Hua La~Gu Dong~Gu Dong~"

Nearly 4 liters of wine were poured on Hope by Carl, and the strong smell of wine instantly spread in the wooden house.

As we all know, the evaporation of alcohol will take away heat.

If Hope had a fever caused by a cold, he really wouldn't dare to do this, but her body temperature had risen because of the awakening of the tiefling bloodline ability and the influence of the fire element, so it was safer for Carl to do this.

Four liters of liquid was not much, so Carl had to repeatedly scoop up the remaining wine from the bottom of the basin and sprinkle it on Hope.

This heat dissipation effect was not bad, but it was obviously not enough.

Looking around the room, Carl looked at the four barrels, gritted his teeth, and ran over to move them.

He made the barrels two days ago to store the liquid produced in the alchemy pot. He wanted to save more in the next two days because it would be used for firing bricks and quenching, but he didn't expect Hope to have an accident.

Opening the barrel full of salt water, Carl put on the power armor and walked to the bathtub with it.

There were nearly 100 liters of salt water in the barrel, which Carl had saved for two days.

With so much liquid poured down, the bathtub was filled up directly.

However, because of the buoyancy of the salt water, Hope actually floated up directly.

Helplessly, Carl had to take off the power armor and press Hope's body into the water with his hands, leaving only his head outside to breathe.

The liquid in the bathtub heated up quickly, and soon, Carl felt a little hot.

"Ka, Carl~"

Just when Carl was about to pull his hand out of the bathtub to slow down, Hope in the bathtub opened his eyes and called Carl's name in a delicate voice.

To be honest, Carl now doubts whether the results of Hope's high-intensity exercise during this period have been transformed into charm by her bloodline.

A few days ago, Carl could hardly imagine that Hope would call his name in such a coquettish tone.

But what else can he say now?

His companion who shared life and death with him called his name in pain, and he could only hold his hand and said in a steady voice: "I'm here!"

People in pain lack a sense of security the most. This is something Carl heard from some popular science video.

"I, I feel so uncomfortable, my body is so hot!"

Looking at Carl with a painful expression, Hope's two thighs twisted and twisted, as if trying to release the heat in her body in this way.

But this obviously doesn't work.

"It's okay. This is a normal phenomenon of your blood awakening. Many tieflings will experience similar things during puberty. At least you are not growing wings. I heard that it takes two months to develop."

Slapping the liquid mixed with wine and salt water on Hope's face, Carl encouraged Hope and gave her some knowledge about tieflings.

But Hope turned a deaf ear to what Carl said. She stared at Carl with her eyes straight, which made Carl feel uneasy. She said slowly and delicately:

"I want to sleep in separate rooms because I..."

As if to explain why he was anxious to sleep in separate rooms before, Hope actually lifted her chest with his hand.

"I know, I know, you have developed too fast during this period, and it is not convenient for the two of us to live in the same room."

Pressing the other's hand back, Carl wiped the sweat from his forehead and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

'This guy said that the heat is not just the effect of blood awakening, right? She is not... drunk! ’

It’s no wonder that Carl thought so. Hope was speaking two beats slower and her eyes were wide open, which was consistent with being drunk.

It was a pity that her skin color made it hard to tell whether her face was red or not, otherwise Carl would have been able to make a conclusion as soon as possible.

While thinking to herself, Hope suddenly stood up from the bathtub.

“I… I…”

Her body kept shaking from side to side, and Hope stood there saying “I” for a long time without saying anything further.

He touched Hope's forehead again. Although it was still a little hot, Carl thought that this should be the normal body temperature after the awakening of the tiefling bloodline.

Carrying the other party out of the bathtub, Carl sighed and carried him back to the right wing to take care of him.

…

Outside the mushroom forest, the hobgoblin heart flayer who led a dozen brain-eating monsters out hunting looked in the direction of Carl and Hope, and then turned his sight back to the direction of the goblin tribe.

He was very hungry now and was extremely eager for the brains of intelligent creatures.

But the beasts on the mushroom forest could not satisfy the appetite of a new heart flayer at all, so this former hobgoblin set his sights on the tribe where he used to be.

As mentioned before, few people can keep their past thinking after the heart flayer completely transformed.

They are more like new souls that have absorbed the memories of the original owner and occupied this body.

The tentacles on his face squirmed slightly, and the heart flayer took a deep breath, as if to relieve the double hunger of the mind and body.

After several seconds, he used psychic energy to continue to float forward.

‘Brain! I need brain!’

The strong will spread in all directions under the amplification of psychic energy, but the mind flayer didn’t care whether this behavior would expose his whereabouts.

Because both the memory of the hobgoblin and the memory left by his “mother” made him feel that there were no other intelligent creatures in this forest.

But neither of these two memories mentioned why there were no other intelligent creatures in this forest.

The goblin tribe might have lost its inheritance, and why did the mother of the mind flayer build a base here without emphasizing the reason...

I don’t know.
