Chapter 919 901. Poisonous Stone
?“Tsk, it’s difficult to handle.”
??The flaky ashes that caused heavy casualties to the residents of Lothric City were piled too thickly in the courtyard.
?Originally, this elevator has an elevator room. It is considered indoors at least, so it should not be affected by these flaky ash.
?But because there were too many and too thick piles, the piles of ashes overflowed in from the outside.
?Lan En tried to step on it a little, and the thickness of the white ash easily covered the soles of his feet.
??And not long after he stepped on it, black veins began to appear on Lan En's neck and face.
??and has a tendency to gather towards the orbits.
??This is the reaction of the witcher's body after being attacked by poison.
?Lan En quickly took his feet back and was speechless looking at the white ashes.
It seems that the excessive accumulation of flaky ash has caused special changes. As long as you step on it, a toxin will escape from these ash piles and enter the body of the person who comes into contact.
??Or according to the official name of Emma's chief priest after investigation, [Human Pus].
?“Get on my shoulder and hold your breath.”
??If it weren’t for [Gene Seed] and [Song Gland] to regulate Lan En’s endocrine system, then this pile of toxins would even exceed the endurance of ordinary demon hunters.
Lan En only took a small breath when he stood on the black soil without ashes.
?Lan is going to stock up on some when he goes to the New World next time.
?In a small courtyard, there were three or four human puss wandering around.
??Although the King's Courtyard is now covered with a thick layer of ashes.
??These two things are medicines made from plants in the unique ecological environment of the New World.
?On the high walls of Lothric, although the people were treated like plants by these flakes of ashes, only one thing like human pus could be found in hundreds of people.
? Lan En made a rough estimate and found that this toxin is quite toxic.
?The black earth is intertwined with gray ash, the vegetation is withered and yellowed, and under the traces of the waterways, there is still a sticky "chirp" sound, and it is unknown what creatures are moving underneath.
??The originally majestic stone Gothic building will only make people feel cold under such circumstances.
??The total distance was only fifty meters, but on Lan En's face, it was almost as if he had drank several bottles of witcher potion.
?In this gloomy courtyard, there are a few figures that are familiar to Lan En - those black mud snakes.
?It’s time to start eroding the body.
?Lan En quickly ran toward the black soil and lowered his voice.
??The terrain in the courtyard is slightly undulating, so the higher areas are not covered by the ash piles, and are still the black of the soil, rather than the lifeless gray.
?The density of human pus is too great here.
??The witcher said to the calico kitten.
??The flannel ball immediately picked up the skirt of Lan En's master-level Bear School armor, jumped up to his shoulders, and squatted on it.
“There are a lot of places to stay, much better than I thought.”
??If you use the previous [White Honey] formula, you will probably have to drink a whole bottle to clear out the toxin dose that reaches the upper limit of the witcher's body.
?Their skinny human legs support their upper bodies, a large mass of twisting and entangled snakes that look like asphalt, and from time to time they emit heart-chilling hisses.
For Lan En, who was not short of money and had his alchemy talent maxed out from beginning to end, he had already started upgrading his potion reserves after getting the advanced formulas for various potions from Kaer Morhen. .
?The effectiveness of high-level potions is quite strong compared to low-level potions.
The officiant said that it looked like "the pustule of human nature has swollen".
?After taking a sip, the black lines on his face disappeared in the blink of an eye.
?For ordinary people, one bite would probably kill them.
? Thanks to the strong natural power there, these two drugs can detoxify and are also completely non-toxic and can be used by ordinary people or Ellu cats.
?But in today’s environment, these things seem gloomy and forbidding.
?The situation was much better than he expected in the elevator room.
Lan En whispered to the flannel ball while scanning the entire courtyard.
? flannel ball looked at Lan En worriedly on his shoulder, but the demon hunter waved his hand indifferently, and then took out a bottle of [high-grade white honey] from the alchemical leather bag.
?Toxins collect around the eye sockets through blood vessels, turning the whites of the eyes into jet black.
There are withered remains of vegetation in the courtyard, as well as traces of water channels after the water has dried up, and the remaining buildings also look neat and orderly.
“It would be great if there was an antidote or Kampo medicine, nya.”
?But the elegance and refinement of the past can still be vaguely seen.
?After taking a deep breath, the witcher quickly walked out of the elevator and officially entered the King's Courtyard.
?But until now, Lan En has no intention of backing down.
?This made Lan En even more firm on a certain guess in his mind.
??The flannel ball whispered.
?So when a group of them rushed back to the church, they only met the three-headed man's pus along the way. Not much resistance.
?But here
?Lan frowned.
“Mentos, plan a route. Try to walk on the black soil. We don’t need to get entangled with these monsters. This is not our purpose.”
?The biological brain accepted the task request.
?And soon, road signs were projected on Lan En's retina.
?“Hush, flannel ball. We’ll get through quickly.”
? ? "I understand, meow!" ? ? ? Elma agreed in a low voice and covered her mouth with her paws.
?The sensing range of these human puss is not large, and Mentos collected this data incidentally the last time he fought with them.
?At this time, it is time to provide these data to the subject for reference.
? Lan En's stealth ability is also quite good. After all, he was trained by Ashina Ninja.
??Although due to their heavy weight, they are still unable to achieve their light-weight movement efficiency. But in terms of "quiet movement", he is actually no different from the ninjas.
??Moving with the silent steps in the "Lone Shadow Ninja Technique Book", Lan En quickly traveled beyond the three-headed man's pus's perception.
?From time to time we step on the black earth, and from time to time we step on the ashes and white earth.
?While passing by the traces of water channels, he also saw what those things that made a sticky 'squeaking' sound were.
??It was a group of black slugs that were the size of ordinary people. A group of slugs gathered together and seemed to be eating several human corpses.
?At the edge of the waterway, Lan En also picked up something.
?That stone is quite large and cannot be grasped by a hand.
He now has a [Blessed Gem] in his hand. Klimt said that it was the result of the qualitative transformation of the keystone.
?This stone looks a bit like a wedge-shaped stone.
Considering that the larger the keystone, the greater the power it contained, Lan En took it away easily.
??The depth of the courtyard is not very large. It is more than two hundred meters away from the elevator to reach the main building in the depths.
?This should be the king's residence in the courtyard.
After walking onto the stone building floor, Lan En took another sip of [high-grade white honey] to remove the toxins from his body.
?The flannel ball was finally able to jump off his shoulders and walk on his own.
?In front is a gate guarded by two church knights holding large swords.
?Church knights are knights who have been given the right to use the personal coat of arms of King Oceroes, the ‘giant bird pattern’.
?This is undoubtedly a sign of deep trust.
?Taking into account the status and prestige of the king and the protoss, in this era when political and religious power was unified in one hand, King Osroais may have more trust in the church knights than he did in the Lothric knights.
?At least in this courtyard, he did not arrange for anyone from the Knights of Lothric to interfere with the guard work.
As soon as Lan En and Fluffy Ball came over, a church knight spotted them.
He also stepped down from his guard position, carrying the big sword on his shoulder, and walked towards the man and the cat.
?The plate armor boots made a muffled sound of "dong dong dong" on the ground, heavy and menacing.
?The other church knight continued to stand guard as if he had noticed nothing.
?This performance made Lan En feel that there might not be a need to start a fight.
"I am the messenger sent by the chief priest of Emma and the leader of the Knights of Lothric. There are many changes happening outside that need to be reported to His Majesty. Can you please pass them on?"
As he spoke, Lan En also pulled out a small flag from his arms.
?That was the certificate that the priest Emma gave him before leaving.
?It was said to be enough to prove his ‘stand’ in front of King Osroais.
?But Lan En soon realized that he was wrong.
?Perhaps the church knight who walked straight towards them had no human thinking and logic under his iron bucket-like helmet.
?Perhaps this church knight felt that he didn’t need the help of his companions to solve the problem of one person and one cat.
?In short, his silent movements do not mean that he can communicate rationally with Lan En.
?“Hoo!”
?The big sword on the shoulder uses the momentum of stepping forward to make a clean and horizontal slash!
?The heavy and wide sword blade left a heavy roar in the air.
Lan En took a step back as if it was just right. The broad blade that tore through the air only lifted a few strands of hair on his forehead, but had no other effect.
?Lan En's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at the church knight in front of him.
?The hostility is now clear.
“I am too optimistic about finding a normal person in this ashes. But since you do it first.”
?“Oops!”
??The projector on the left arm armor was activated with a hook lock. Lan En, who took a step back, fired the hook diagonally behind him almost at the same time as he moved.
“Then we won’t have any psychological pressure when we fight.”
The claws clicked and caught a priest standing on the edge of the stairs on the upper floor of the building.
?The priest was originally crouching on the ground as if he was dying, but when the church knight was about to fight Lan En, he stood up again.
?And shook the Holy Bell Catalyst in his hand, as if to perform some kind of [miracle].
??A faint golden light emanated from the bodies of the clergyman and the church knight.
?But before the golden light could completely take shape, Lan En's left hand tugged.
?A "stab" sound!
??The priesthood was forcibly torn from the upper floor of the building and stood directly in front of Lan En!
??The church knight's great sword tore the thin human body and the thin priestly robe in front of him into two pieces.
??The blood should have sprayed backwards towards Lan En, but under the reduced power of [Alder's Seal], the minced meat, broken bones, and blood all went towards the church knight's face.
"Meow!"
??The flannel ball also swooped up at the same time, grabbed the iron bucket helmet with his two claws, and pulled it up slightly. The helmet's viewing hole was pulled up to the knight's forehead, misaligning his eyes.
