Wiltok's dislocated wrist was just a minor problem, but he had no way to solve it himself and had no choice but to ask the fat cook Sarah for help. Sarah helped him reattach his wrist at that time, but Sarah still couldn't rest assured and called Dr. Cole overnight to diagnose the cause of Wiltok's wrist dislocation.
No one believed that Wiltok dislocated his wrist because he was practicing the whipping technique. They always thought that there was something wrong with his body, such as some kind of birth defect in his wrist.
This incident caused quite a stir in the Adventurer's House. For adventurers who can exchange information for money, Wiltok's physical problems can also be equated with gold. As for the buyers of information, they are of course those highland families who are particularly interested in beautiful features. Wait until next spring, the adventurers who return to Fallen Leaf City can exchange Wiltok's information into real gold.
As a result, adventurers came to visit Wiltok's "injury". Boss Bottom couldn't stop the "well-intentioned" adventurers from arousing collective dissatisfaction among the adventure group just for such a small amount of money.
However, Vertok surprised the adventurers who came to see him, and even caused a sensation in the town of Braun.
It was now approaching noon, and Karl followed his companions out of the Adventurer's House. He originally wondered why he had to go outside the hotel to visit Wiltok. When they walked around the stables behind the hotel, they saw a large group of people surrounding the place. Even the haystacks used to feed the animals were full of people.
Seeing that the four members of the Qin and the Whistle adventure group couldn't squeeze in, Captain Charlie stretched out his hand to pull, and his powerful force forced a way through the noisy crowd.
Ignoring the yells and reprimands of several people, level four shield guard Charlie led Carl, Annie and Katie to the front of the crowd. They saw Wiltok pressed motionless against the back wall of the hotel. His posture looked very special. His whole body was pressed tightly against the wall, leaving no space. He only stood on tiptoe of his left foot as a support point for his whole body. He looked like a gecko clinging to the wall.
"Wil... is he sleeping?!" Katie's eyes widened and she exclaimed in disbelief.
If you change the angle and look at the back wall of the hotel as a bed, Wiltok's posture with one leg straightened and the other bent is indeed like lying on the bed board. His left cheek was also pressed against the "bed board", his eyes were closed, and even though the people around him were talking and pointing, there was no reaction. He really seemed to be asleep.
Annie's expression was particularly serious, and she quietly stood on tiptoe of her left foot to confirm that she could also make a similar posture to Wiltok, but she was a second-level archer with the awakened agility specialty. Apart from herself, everyone in the adventure group I'm afraid no one else can sleep against the wall.
Could it be that Wiltok is a professional who awakens the agility specialty?
What's the point of him doing this?
Anne couldn't help but frowning, looking very confused. She once used her expertise to test Wiltok by shaking hands and confirmed that he did not have the awakening expertise, but now she began to wonder if she had made a mistake.
At this time, Thomas from the Qin and Whistle Adventure Group came over from the other end of the crowd and joined his companions. This morning, Captain Charlie arranged for Thomas to visit Wiltok. He was the first to find it and witnessed the whole process.
"What's going on? Wiltok has been so weird all morning?" Charlie asked quietly.
Thomas nodded with a weird expression: "So far, I've seen him change 15 postures, each one weirder than the last. This is the 16th posture... You also saw it, is he sleeping against the wall?"
Everyone knows that Wiltok suffered a head injury and is an amnesia patient. He has many puzzling behaviors in the Adventurer's House, and those who know him are already familiar with it. However, Wiltok's behavior today was not simple. Swordsman Karl said solemnly: "To make this kind of posture, you must have a strong sense of balance and excellent body coordination... Oh, by the way, how long has he been sleeping on the wall?"
"It's almost two-quarters of an hour..." Thomas paused, glanced at the crowd around him, and continued to explain: "Before, someone started a bet on how long Wiltok could last. The most people bet on half-a-quarter of an hour. They all lost, and then they gambled for a quarter of an hour, and more people lost. The current gambling game is two-quarters of an hour. The time is coming, and many people are chasing their bets over there..."
Following his line of sight, Charlie and others found that in a corner of the stable, Piru and several shop assistants were busy opening a gambling game, and a group of adventurers gathered around them to pay their bets.
Annie pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Let's also place a bet. Let's bet that Wiltok can last for more than two quarters of an hour. We will definitely win."
Karl shook his head and said: "It's not necessary. What I just meant is that Wiltok can maintain his posture against the wall for so long, which shows that he still has strong physical fitness. Judging from his performance, his sense of balance, coordination, and physical fitness have reached the second level. The level of a super professional?"
Anne thought for a while and said: "I am afraid that a first-level professional with agility expertise does not have this level of balance and coordination, but I am a second-level archer. I can imitate Wiltok's posture and I can last at least four quarters of an hour."
Katie looked at her friend in surprise and said, "You mean, you're not sure whether Wiltok is a professional anymore? But his sense of balance and physical coordination are at least better than a first-level agility professional?" "
Annie said nothing, bit her pink lips, and nodded slightly.
"It's just terrible."
Captain Charlie said: "Don't you find that Wiltok's stable mentality is scary? With so many people watching and pointing at him, he remained as if nothing had happened, with a peaceful expression, like a baby with a pure heart."
Everyone was shocked, and Karl, who was in a depressed state of mind, couldn't help but whisper: "Could it be... that this is a special secret ritual?"
Annie turned her head and said angrily: "Why do you say it? Don't you feel bad? You are still afraid that others will not hear you."
Thomas smiled bitterly and said: "We are not the only ones who think of the 'Awakening Mystery'. Everyone is watching Vertok's performance. There is no doubt that many people are secretly imitating his postures."
Katie's eyes lit up and she said happily: "How can this be called 'stealing learning'? Wiltok showed it in public, and he didn't say not to show it. Of course we can watch it, and we can also learn it."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, nodded, and then looked at Wiltok intently, for fear of missing something, even if they couldn't see much, they tried to write down all the essentials of his movements.
Wiltok didn't care about this. He was practicing the Secret Forms of the Funiu and the Secret Monkey outdoors without any distractions. Even if someone secretly learned these two exercises, he didn't care at all. In fact, the three major forging methods consist of pile method, breathing method and visualization method. If you just observe Wiltok's demonstration of pile method, you can understand the secrets. Such people do not need to secretly learn the secrets of Funiu and Monkey. He was a remarkable man in his own right.
Those who secretly imitate him, especially those who imitate the Funiu Zhuang method, will suffer more or less injuries. Muscle strains and tendon tears are nothing. The most serious ones have injured their spines and have to stay out of bed for ten and a half days. I'm afraid Yue won't recover. But Vertok had no problems practicing the pile technique. This obvious contrast aroused the interest of the adventurers even more, and they concluded that what Vertok was practicing was a rare secret ritual of awakening.
However, there are only a few knowledgeable people after all. Those who know the secret of awakening keep it secret and never mention it to outsiders. Those ignorant and fearless people have suffered several hardships and no longer blindly imitate Wiltok, and they don't even bother to watch him practice the pile method.
The little thoughts of the adventurers have nothing to do with Wiltok. The experience of dislocating his wrist that night made him determined. He must practice the three major exercises ten times to make himself stronger quickly. Even those who came to Rhodes to learn writing Put everything aside for now. He practices the Secret Forms of the Funiu and the Secret Monkey outdoors every day during the day, then returns to the hotel kitchen for a hearty meal, and practices the Secret Forms of the Golden Toad to adjust his body and mind while sleeping at night.
When you concentrate on one thing, time always flies by. On the ninth day, Wiltok clearly felt that his body, perception, and life attributes had improved dramatically. And tomorrow is the tenth day of practicing the forging method. At the end of ten practices of the three major forging methods, his elemental attributes will reach the current limit. Just when Wiltok was feeling proud and full of expectations, Boss Bottom of the Adventurer's House could no longer bear it.
On the third floor of the hotel, in the innermost room of the corridor, Boss Bartome, with brown-red hair and a brown-red beard, was holding his beloved pipe in his mouth and said to Dr. Cole, who had a slim face and a gloomy temperament: "Your business has been very good these days. ah."
Cole said with a smile: "Thanks to Wiltok, I made a small fortune."
Bottom pointed the pipe at Cole and laughed: "Wiltok asked you to earn medical expenses, so he asked me to spend it... Do you know how much he eats for a meal now? 10 pcs. Silver Pagoda is enough for an adventurer to eat for three days. How do you think he is so tall and thin? How can he eat so much?"
Cole looked solemn, nodded and said: "He suddenly overeated. Sister Sarah was shocked. She pinched my neck and checked his body. My conclusion is that everything is normal."
Bottom took a long drag on his cigarette and said, "He suddenly ate so much, but he didn't gain weight. If you say everything is normal with him, then it's not normal."
Doctor Cole said calmly: "If Wiltok is normal, how can he be worth 50,000 gold pagodas?"
Bottom pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Wiltok's beauty is worth 50,000 gold pagodas. Is he worth more than that now?"
"Boss, I know what you mean." Cole said: "I check Wiltok's body every day, and Sister Sarah is here, and he is very cooperative. Since he started practicing those dozens of weird postures, his food intake has increased. The big increase is only one aspect. I found that his physical strength has reached the level of Level 2 Physical Specialty, his strength is equivalent to Level 2 Strength Specialty, and his agility has reached Level 2 Agility Specialty. His intelligence seems to have not changed, at least I can't see it. How is he different from before? One thing I can confirm is that he did not respond to the professional test potion, which means that he has not condensed the secret blood, and he is definitely not a professional with the awakening specialty! Do you suspect that the posture practiced by Wiltok is some kind of awakening secret? Yi, I dare not agree...expertise, expertise, if his three major expertise of physical strength, strength, and agility can be improved simultaneously, is it still a expertise?"
Bottom glanced at him, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Let me tell you straight, I was born in the Alliance Legion, and I learned the secret ritual of awakening provided by the army. Not to mention the low probability of awakening, the level 4 profession is at its peak. The Awakening Mysteries in the academy and the Earth Temple can allow professionals to advance to level five. What about the mysteries above level five? Have you seen them? I have never seen them, but we all know that mastering the Awakening Mysteries has the greatest potential. In the hands of a prominent Highland family.”
"Unless you have seen the awakening ritual of a famous highland family, how can you say that the posture practiced by Wiltok is not part of the secret ritual?" Bottom asked thoughtfully.
Cole said angrily: "Boss, you don't believe me!"
Bottom said unhurriedly: "Cole, in our thirty years of friendship, have I ever asked about your secrets? Back then, my brothers and I picked you up in the red grassland and saved your life. You You also saved my life and that of my brothers, and we are partners. You never talk about your past, and we will never ask about it, and it will be the same in the future."
Cole gritted his teeth and growled: "I won't tell you, it's for everyone's good!"
Red Lion Bottom nodded heavily and said: "I never doubted you, but you know what it took for us to take root in Braun Town. Forget about anything else, John and Huck were all raised by us. Successors, although they did not disappoint us, they are not professionals after all. Will they be able to support the Adventurer's House in the future? Can you bear to watch the situation we have finally created be replaced by outsiders? "
Disa's half-elf awakening expertise, gathering secret blood, and becoming a professional requires completing many steps. The previous awakening steps are okay and can basically be used universally, but the awakening ritual is the last step and the most critical step. Generally speaking, mysteries require specific rituals, awakening elixirs, and dharma transmitters. These three conditions are indispensable.
Bottom is familiar with the secret rituals of the army, and he can also act as a transmitter. Unfortunately, the potential of the awakening secrets of the alliance army is limited, and the success rate is still low. An outstanding adventurer like Instructor John could not pass the Secret of Awakening, otherwise his future would be limitless.
After all, Red Lion Bottom is getting old, has lost the confidence to make progress, and has begun to think about the future of the Adventurer's House. Cole looked at Bottom's longing eyes and sighed silently. His face was gloomy and he struggled to say: "Well, I suspect... Wiltok is a test subject transformed by those people. But you Don't ask, there's no benefit in doing this. My opinion is whether to sell him or recommend him to a famous family, send him away as soon as possible."
"Hehe, even if we send Wiltok away, we will have to wait until next spring at the earliest."
Bottom took two puffs of his cigarette and said leisurely: "I won't ask you who those people are. They must not be from a famous family, right? Since Wiltok is not from a famous family, let's secretly learn from him. The secret ritual will not be held accountable by the city-state council."
"You dare to learn secret rituals that are not from a famous family?" Dr. Cole looked at Bottom with sympathy and said seriously: "Boss, you are crazy and I can't cure you."
"I even dare to take you in, so why wouldn't I?" Bottom glared and said disdainfully: "You can't even cure Sarah's madness, so I didn't count on you."
Cole was stabbed in the vital point by Bottom, and he was immediately discouraged and asked listlessly: "What are you going to do?"
Bottom lowered his voice and said: "Don't worry, so many people have seen Wiltok practicing the secret ritual. What are you afraid of? The key is the secret medicine... To be honest, I quite like this kid Wiltok, silly, no He has a bad intention, that is, he has a mysterious origin, and I dare not take him in. My idea is to send him away anyway, and before he becomes smarter, you can find a way to get the secret medicine formula from him."
"Wouldn't it be easier for Sister Sarah to come forward in this kind of thing? Then the boy will just listen to Sister Sarah."
"Are you an idiot? How can you ask Wiltok directly about this kind of thing? We need to let him think of it by himself and leak it by himself. He doesn't know it yet."
Cole suddenly understood, stretched out his thumb towards Bottom, and said: "Okay, you find a way to get him to work in my pharmacy, and I will create conditions for him and see what he can remember. But I don't guarantee it, Will The posture Tok is practicing now is the Secret Ritual of Awakening... Moreover, even if it is a secret ritual, how can we solve the problem of the transmitter?"
Bottom's eyes revealed a gleam, and he said: "If what he practices every day is a secret ritual, he will probably think of the secret medicine. As for the magic transmitter? I bet that Vertok's secret ritual does not require magic transmission. Or... Anyway, we don’t need to bet, we only win but not lose, we only make profit but not lose... In case, it is really not the secret ritual of awakening, we will pay it forward!"
