Constitution 5→5.5

Will 4.8→5.8

A total of two points of attributes were raised in an instant, and Roy had an unprecedentedly powerful "illusion".

The transformation was still going on. When he stood up and twisted his neck, wrists, knees and other joints, his whole body began to make crackling and numbness, as if ants had crawled over, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

His face was flushed, his spirits were over the top, and his chest was inexplicably full of courage and confidence. He suddenly felt that he would not be tired even if he ran for a day and a night, and he could go straight to any challenge.

"Huh..." Roy took a deep breath, clenched and loosened his fists, suppressed his agitation, sat on a haystack and meditated for a quarter of an hour, until his body and mind returned to calm.

Ordinary people can slowly increase their attribute value by 1 point after years of training and countless accumulations, but he has increased by 2 points in just a few minutes.Some discomfort is also normal.

From this, Roy thought of the grass trial. In a short period of time, the grass medicine will transform and improve the body far more than it is now, reaching a terrifying level. This discomfort will probably turn into extreme pain, so the trial passed rate is so low.

……

On the other side of the barn, a slight muffled hum suddenly came from a simple straw mat.

"Toya, you're awake, how do you feel?" Roy walked to the mat and sat down, stretched out his hand to touch the smooth forehead of the girl in the bed, and heaved a sigh of relief, "The body temperature is normal, it seems that the yam has taken effect .”

"Roy... Me, what's wrong with me?" The girl was still wearing the apron she wore when she was working, but she looked haggard, her eyes were dim, and her lips were frighteningly white, as if she had suffered a serious illness.

"While you were sweeping the floor today, you suddenly passed out and developed a high fever..." Roy patiently explained, "Oona and Henk found out and sent you in. But don't worry, I'll feed you some Herbs, the fever has subsided."

"That's it..." Toya stubbornly sat up with her hands supporting her body, drank a few sips of water with Roy's assistance, and said gratefully, "It's troubled you again... You are tired of taking care of me How about going to rest first?"

Roy shook his head when he heard the words, stared into the girl's eyes and asked, "Tuoya, we are friends. Tell me honestly, this is not the first time you have been in a coma, right?"

The girl squatted on the straw mat, clasped her knees tightly with her hands, put her chin on it, a trace of confusion and panic flashed across her small face, and her voice trembled slightly, "I don't know what's wrong with me. I have so many bodies. The problem is not only the hunchback that everyone hates, but also fainting for no reason, high fever and talking nonsense."

"Even my biological father dislikes me and doesn't want to talk to me."

"Roy," Toya whispered suddenly, "am I being a burden?"

"Toya, you are by no means a burden!" Roy said sincerely, "It has been a pleasure to get along with you for more than half a month. It is enough to prove that you are a qualified listener, and you are so hardworking and smart."

"It's just being stuck in a prison-like mill, surrounded by mostly short-sighted and narrow-minded people, so you don't make many friends, which makes you think wrong."

"Is that so?" The girl's eyes recovered after hearing this.

"Of course..." Roy nodded, "How do you feel now? I want to know more about your illness..."

"I'm fine," the girl took a deep breath, "just ask."

"When did your comatose illness start? Is it getting more and more frequent?"

"How long did it start?" The girl frowned and thought for a while, "Probably after my body became deformed."

"It happens every year, once a year at first, and now four or five times a year." Toya's tone stagnated, and she said with self-pity, "I always feel that after a certain coma, I can't wake up again .”

"However, if this is the destination that Goddess Melitelli has prepared for me, then I accept it. It's not bad to be able to fall into eternal sleep without suffering and knowing nothing."

"Toya, you are still very young, your life is full of infinite possibilities..." Roy comforted, and then asked, "Think about it again, whether the time of onset in recent years is close to those festivals, Such as New Year, winter solstice, spring, summer solstice..."

"The last time it happened was on Harvest Day...the last time was probably around May Day," Toya said in surprise, "You're right, Roy."

"Then I guessed right...the closer you get to the magic power point, the easier it is for the magic power in your body to resonate, lose control, and hurt your body." Roy sighed, looking at the girl with pity.

During the observation, after the coma this time, her constitution weakened from 3 to 2.8, and her vitality was weakening visible to the naked eye.

"What do you mean by magic power points?" Toya was curious and panicked, "And...why is there magic power in my body?"

"Don't worry, Toya, I'll tell you..." Roy said, "Do you still remember the Arethusa Academy on Thaned Island that I told you about last time?"

"I remember every word you said very clearly." The girl said, "Is that a place dedicated to training female warlocks?"

She took out the Gwent card that Roy had given her from under the pillow, on which was a beautiful woman in a fiery red dress, and she made no secret of her envy, "It's like Sabina Grewisig , can perform miraculous magic, even more powerful than the magic you perform!"

"Yes..." Roy took a deep breath, "But do you know that many female sorceresses were not as beautiful as they were painted on the cards when they were young."

Toya suddenly held her breath, her expression froze.She had a strong premonition that the other party seemed to say something that frightened her.

"In the beginning, most of them were like you..." Roy pondered for a while, then slowed down his tone, and said word by word, "Because I was tortured by the out-of-control magic power in my body since I was a child, I looked different from others. Then I went to magic The academy received magic training, and it slowly corrected itself."

Roy's foreshadowing in the previous half month has allowed the girl to realize a little bit of the mysterious corner of the world, and her ability to accept has been greatly improved.

"You...you mean..." Toya's teeth began to chatter, and an unprecedented crazy idea came out, and she was about to suffocate. "me……"

"That's right... eight magic power points, that is, eight festivals where magic power boils. Because you have magic power in your body, you will resonate with them and fall into a coma when the date is close to the festival." Roy emphasized his tone, "simple In other words, you have the qualifications to become a warlock, as long as you have the opportunity to receive training in Arethusa. And as far as I know, Arethusa accepts girls from almost all corners of the world, regardless of poverty and appearance, as long as they agree their harsh contract."

"Like her?" Toya gripped the card tightly, her knuckles turning white. "Can I return to normal like her? No longer being discriminated against, cast aside, ridiculed?!"

"If you can become a warlock, with the help of magical transformation, your body will of course return to normal."

"Woo, woo--" Toya suddenly choked up in her throat, and leaned against the damp and moldy wall of the barn slumped, with big teardrops sliding down her pale cheeks.

The expression on his face was extremely complicated, both sad and happy.

"No, Roy, you lied to me, right?" Toya couldn't believe it, "You are my friend, you can't lie to me!"

"I can swear," Roy said solemnly, "I never lied to you...I just want you to have one more choice."

"No way!" Toya's round face showed a touch of excitement, and she suddenly shook her head, "I'm an ordinary country girl, and I've never left the mill."

"I'm not going anywhere, and Henk and Una won't let me go."

"And you also said that Arethusa is far away from Edsberg, thousands of miles away, so far away that I will never reach it."

Roy was silent.

What Toya said was true. Most of the parents of sorceresses refused to send them to the so-called warlock academy.Because joining the Warlock Academy meant a complete separation from the original family.It doesn't do their parents any favors.

And these greedy parents are more willing to oppress them to death as free labor.

"I'll help you figure out a way, Toya." Now that the plan has started, it's not Roy's style to give up halfway.

He already had a rough solution in his mind, which was an inspiration not long ago.

"Tuoya, I have to tell you the truth. Every time you faint, it means that your body is further eroded by magic power and suffers damage. You should be able to feel it? Your body is getting weaker and weaker. If you can't receive formal magic training in time." Roy licked his dry lips, "I'm not sure if you can live to be 20."

"Don't you want to go and see the outside world?"

In this age of ignorance, a little country girl with a deformed body will probably live a short life in pain and suffering.

But Roy always believed that she deserved a chance.Now that he has an idea, he must turn it into a plan and put it into practice. This is his creed.

What's more, if you give Toya a chance, maybe you will also get a chance in the future.

Excited or frightened, the girl's shoulders kept shaking, "Roy, you... you are not an ordinary person, are you? Why do you know this knowledge, and why did you tell me?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, if I change the situation with you, will you help me?" Roy asked back, and then he saw the answer in the girl's eyes longing for freedom.

A firm and strong palm was held together with another small hand covered with frostbite.

"Friends should help each other... Toya, just wait, you will see the sunrise of Arethusa. I promise you."

Chapter 30 Returning the Body

It is impossible for Roy to take Toya to go on the trial journey of the witcher, arrive at Sintra and then transfer to Arethusa, that is unrealistic, and it is impossible for Lei Suo to agree to bring another oil bottle.

He needs help from others.

As for Edsberg, the only big figures he knew were the dwarf fine wine agent Xavier Hogg, the headmaster of Cadell House, and a member of the Revolutionary Army.

It was these two people who wanted to send Toya to Arethusa, who was thousands of miles away, and let her join the academy.

……

Rich area, Sewell Hogg's mansion, sunny morning.

The dwarf wine merchant is basking in the sun on a deck chair in the yard. It has been almost a month since the demon hunter "eliminated demons" for him. His life seems to be going well, the dark circles under his eyes have almost disappeared, and the waist of the bucket has become more "rich". Thick beard and hair so black that it is about to ooze oil.

"Roy, I haven't seen you for a while. You've had a great time in Edsberg." Sewell beckoned, and a dwarf maid with a whip and freckles on her face brought a bottle of mead , Fill up for the two, and then leave quickly. "If I'm not mistaken, you have grown taller and stronger. Although you still don't have a beautiful beard, your masculinity has grown a lot... Have you been recuperating with Mahakam's dwarf spirits every day?"

Roy, who was lying on the wicker chair next to him, took a sip of the mead, which tasted slightly sweet and soft in the mouth, and he couldn't help but compliment him, "Mr. Sewell is right, the fine wine of the dwarves is naturally not comparable to other crude and fake wines mixed with water. How are you doing now? Did you still have nightmares after 'Sim' was eliminated?"

"Thanks to you and Master Resor," Sewell said with a hearty laugh, "the nightmare has basically disappeared, and I have become a vigorous and strong little Mahakam squirrel again." He turned awkwardly on the wicker chair With one hand resting on his furry chin, he looked at Roy, "Only occasionally in the dead of night, I would still remember that my poor brother Akon was still soaking in the wine barrel... and the next day I can't even eat."

The hoarse and deep voice of the dwarf paused, and he said meaningfully, "When will Akon's body return to his territory and rest in peace?"

"By the way, Roy, why didn't you see Master Lei Suo today?"

"He went out to do errands and hasn't come back yet." Roy asked, "Mr. Sewell, how about I help you solve this trouble?"

"Roy, I heard you right." Sewell stroked his bushy beard with questioning eyes, "You mean a person who helped me send Akon's body to the revolution without anyone knowing it." In the hands of the top military?"

"That's right...Mr. Sewell," Roy said with bright eyes and a steady voice, looking full of confidence, "are you willing to entrust this commission to me?"

Half an hour later, in the wine cellar.

A pale male with his eyes closed twisted his limbs unnaturally, half lying on the ground in dead silence.

At the same time, the strong smell of alcohol, and a rotting corpse smell that was so weak that it was almost completely covered by the smell of alcohol rushed into Roy's nose.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes, staring at this long-known big man, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Vernon Ryan, without blinking.That is Akon, the good brother of the dwarves.The wise man who never drank but died of wine.

The male corpse was dressed in a plain gray linen coat like that of a farmer and a coolie, and black tights.He has slender limbs and a slender body. His pointed ears, hooked nose, melon-shaped jaw, and prominent cheekbones indicate that he has a trace of elf blood.

Maybe it was because he was too uncomfortable before death, but there was still a trace of fear and ferocity on his expression, and his hands were limply on his sides, as if he wanted to grab something, but he couldn't.

The corpse had been soaked in wine for an unknown amount of time, the skin was covered with wrinkles, and occasionally groups of ugly corpse spots could be seen between the chest and abdomen.

Such a scene is similar to those corpse specimens soaked in formalin in the previous life.

No, more intuitive, weird and terrifying.

The dwarf wine merchant looked sad with a trace of nostalgia, and unconsciously covered his nose, "Roy, now I have moved Akon out of the wine barrel according to your request, what are you going to do next?"

"If you want to sneak him out at night, I'm afraid it won't work. I heard that the Revolutionary Army will launch a second protest march on the occasion of the New Year, but there are still two baron men staring desperately outside."

"Mr. Sewell, how about I show you a magic trick?" Roy walked to the corpse, inspected the limbs, pulled the trousers of the corpse, and saw a strange tattoo on the right heel——a circle rolled up thick hair.

squirrel tail?

He frowned thoughtfully, but he didn't mention it to the dwarf. Instead, he reached out and touched the corpse, and Vernon Ryan disappeared immediately.

"This?" The dwarf opened his mouth wide, and his jaw was about to fall to the ground. "Brother Roy, how did you do it? Could it be that you are a hidden warlock besides being a demon hunter apprentice? Can you cast teleportation magic?" ?”

"Secret... Your Excellency Sewell, please allow me to keep this secret..." Roy said sincerely,

"Well, the dwarves respect the secrets of their friends," Sewell apologized. "Also, please accept my apology. I shouldn't have questioned you before. You have such a skill that the baron's gangsters never imagined."

"Then the reward is still the same as last time?"

"How about I finish the commission?"

"No problem." The dwarf said cheerfully, "As long as you accomplish this, you will be my brother, Xavier Hogg. I will never treat my brother badly!"

……

For Kadel, the experience of the past few days really made her worry. First, in order to deal with the hateful monsters that abducted her children, she suffered severe abdominal injuries and was always in pain.

Then there was bad news from the Revolutionary Army, and the organization of the second protest march was very poor.The baron's iron-blooded suppression really scared off many speculators who were not strong enough in will and belief.

So far, no more than 50 people have been able to organize.With such a small number of people, taking to the streets to parade is more like performing acrobatics.

"Alas..." Cadel sighed, if only everyone could be as relieved as that new student.He is smart, courageous, and skilled, and he is not timid in the face of monsters.

It's a pity that he is an apprentice of the witcher, and he will leave soon.

With this in mind, Kadel returned to the office in a dispirited mood...

But as soon as she opened the door, a strong smell of alcohol came to her nostrils. She frowned and followed the smell to the desk.

Immediately afterwards, her pupils shrank into a slit, and her eyes showed extreme horror.

A male corpse appeared under the desk. The face of the corpse was pale, swollen, and extremely familiar.

Kadel instantly lost his mind.

"The great leader, my spiritual mentor, Vernon, is dead?!"

In the courtyard downstairs, Roy stroked the hornbeam beside him with his palm, watched the headmaster enter the room, and soon went out with a letter on his face full of grief and indignation, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

"I don't want to scare you either. But I only know you as a backbone of the Revolutionary Army... I can only apologize. Just treat it as the money you owe me for the meal..."

……

"The principal of Kadel House turned out to be a senior member of the Revolutionary Army..." The dwarf wine merchant nodded in satisfaction after listening to Roy's report. But no conclusive evidence was found. All in all, Roy, you did a great job on this matter, the baron's dog legs didn't notice at all, and my dear brother Akon has returned to the place he longed for."

The dwarf stretched out his hand towards Roy and said solemnly,

"My word is what I say. I once made a promise that the person who will solve this trouble is my brother... There is no need to be polite between brothers. Roy... Tell me, what do you want? Money, wine, weapons? Just say ..."

The dwarf has long seen that he would accept the commission at such a time, and must have asked for something else.
