In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the grated window lattice of the room and cast the light and shadow of a set of windows on the bed, Wiltok woke up from the wonderful state of the golden toad's secret form. Wearing only a pair of short pajamas, he jumped up from the soft bed with one hand and landed lightly and silently on the floor like a nimble big cat.
He stretched out his arms and stretched his body. The muscle lines all over his body appeared particularly smooth through the tense movements. His bones and joints made a series of crisp popping sounds, and endless energy filled his whole body.
Today is another particularly beautiful day.
Just like in the memory, practicing the Secret Form of the Golden Toad will give you a sense of pleasure that originates from instinct, just like the sky washed by the rain or the seeds sprouting under the soil, ethereal, distant and full of vitality. The feeling of renewal fascinates Wiltok. Of course, only those who have mastered the secret form of the Golden Toad can enjoy this kind of enjoyment. To practice the Golden Toad Secret Form, you must first practice the Funiu Secret Form and the Spirit Monkey Secret Form.
This is the eleventh day of Vertok's practice of the three major exercises. Not surprisingly, his physical attributes reached 12 points, his perception attributes reached 12 points, and his life attributes reached 15 points. Wiltok felt the powerful power contained in his body very clearly, and then he realized how weak he had been before.
The strength that filled his body brought him unprecedented confidence. Wiltok felt itchy and turned his head left and right, looking around the room for a wooden hanger, ready to avenge his dislocated wrist. Unfortunately, the clothes hanger had been removed a long time ago. The hotel owner gave him a new wardrobe and put the compensation for the damaged clothes hanger on his bill.
With nowhere to vent his energy, Wiltok simply kicked off the wall and rushed up to the ceiling in two steps. He stretched his hands upwards and his whole body was sucked between the angle between the wall and the ceiling.
There was a sound above the floor that reached Wiltok's ears. It was an adventurer snoring and smacking his saliva in the middle. After listening for a while, Wiltok felt bored and slid down the wall to the ground, jumped back on the bed, sat down cross-legged, and seriously considered what to do today.
Having practiced the three major exercises ten times, Wiltok's body seems to have been completely transformed. His strength, physical fitness, speed, agility, and sensory acuity have all been significantly improved. The three secret body-building techniques are indeed extraordinary, but they will not produce such miraculous effects after practicing them for ten days. Wiltok already knew that his body was originally very strong, but due to some unknown reason, his mental attributes were at a low point and could not control his strong body, causing him to seriously degenerate. As the mental strength continues to recover, the body's potential is awakened through these ten days of exercise.
This morning, Wiltok completed the tenth exercise of the Golden Toad Secret Form. As expected, the "Knowledge Puzzle" gave him another part of the memory, which was still related to the secret method of physical exercise. There are three types in total, namely the Eagle Lion Combat skills, wolf combat skills and source blood secrets.
Different from the three major body-forging secret techniques, the Eagle Lion Combat Technique and the Gray Wolf Combat Technique combine the two major forging techniques of Funiu and Spirit Monkey, and also add a spell-breaking part. The so-called breaking method is the actual combat technique of attacking the enemy and protecting oneself. The Gripen combat skill focuses on the forging method and less on the breaking of the method; the Wolf combat skill focuses on the breaking of the method and the forging part is weakened.
Wiltok couldn't remember who pioneered the Gripen combat skills and the Wolf combat skills. He only knew that it was definitely not him. Because these two combat skills are based on the secret shapes of Funiu and Spirit Monkey, but lack the most critical secret shape of Golden Toad. Their body-building effects are far inferior to the three major exercises practiced by Wiltok, but their spell-breaking skills are very clever.
Gripen combat skills emphasize close combat, and are good at fighting with bare hands and limited types of short weapons. Every move can explode with astonishing power. Canglang's combat skills are good at using various types of weapons, emphasizing footwork. It analyzes the basic principles of weapon use, including chopping, piercing, bludgeoning, projection, blocking, and parrying, combined with flexible tactical footwork to attack the enemy. Effective means can give full play to the advantages of equipment and equipment, and the weak can often defeat the strong.
These two combat skills do not require practice, Wiltok has already mastered them by restoring the relevant memories. The source blood secret method is different from the two battle techniques. It is a pure forging method, even purer than the three major forging methods.
The Secret Form of the Funiu has the ability to explode power, the Secret Form of the Monkey contains body movements to dodge attacks, and the Secret Form of the Golden Toad also has the extraordinary effect of lurking and camouflaging, all of which can be counted as breaking the law. The origin blood secret method is obviously derived from the three major forging methods, but it has nothing to do with the method breaking skills.
The only function of the source blood secret method is to temper the body, and it has reached the point where it can change the level of life!
The message conveyed to Wiltok by the "Knowledge Puzzle" is that if you practice the Origin Blood Secret Technique completely once, you will gain the talent of life toughness, including strong bones, twice the basic strength, extraordinary physical fitness, resistance to cold and hot environments, and the talent of self-healing. There is also the talent of gluttony!
Among them, the self-healing talent can make his injuries heal automatically within a certain period of time. The gluttony talent allows him to absorb food, including medicines, to the extreme, quickly replenishing physical energy and energy, and enhancing vitality.
Wiltok has mastered all the information about the Origin Blood Secret Technique, but to practice the Origin Blood Secret Technique, you must take Origin Blood Potion. He does know the formula of this medicine, but he doesn't have it now.
The most terrible thing is that he knows the specific contents of the potion formula and the names of the medicinal materials in the formula, but he can't remember what the more than 20 kinds of medicinal materials look like.
At a loss, Wiltok decided to go to the kitchen to have breakfast first and ask the cook Sarah. He got dressed, hung the money bag on his chest, and left his guest room without even locking the door. While walking through the corridor, I happened to meet two adventurers on the same floor.
"Good morning, Wiltok, are you going to the stables to exercise again?" They took the initiative to greet Wiltok, and one of them, an obviously older adventurer with a beard, said.
Wiltok's eyes lit up and he stepped forward and said: "Good morning, Bob. Good morning, James. I have something that I would like to ask you for help with, can you?"
The two adventurers were obviously surprised and looked at each other. Then the older Bob laughed heartily and said: "Of course, we are willing to help you."
Wiltok couldn't help but smile happily and asked expectantly: "Do you know where to find fluorescent moss, silk grass, the core of silver streaked jam fruit, Kapatila red-eyed moth powder..."
He mentioned the names of more than twenty medicinal materials in one breath. Before he could finish speaking, the smiles on the faces of the two adventurers had faded, and their expressions were as stiff as two wooden masks.
The younger James said with a confused look on his face: "I have never heard of these medicinal materials..."
Bob coughed and reminded from the side: "Wirtok, the names of medicinal materials may be different in different places. Do you still remember the characteristics of that fluorescent moss?"
Wiltok blinked and said with a confused expression: "I can't remember..."
The three of them looked at each other, staring at each other in the corridor. Both of us were embarrassed for a while, and Bob shook his head and said, "I have been in this business for more than ten years and have been to many places, but I have never heard of the names of the medicinal materials you mentioned. And you can't remember their characteristics. , this is troublesome... Wiltok, you only remember the name of the medicine, but not the appearance, and it is easy to be deceived. Well, if you remember the appearance of these medicinal materials, come to me, and I will definitely help you collect them. "
Wiltok nodded vigorously and said: "Bob, James, you are all good people."
Bob chuckled and said: "Good people are good people. If you want to purchase drugs, you have to pay for them. Can we discuss the specific amount later?"
Wiltok thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will ask you how much the medicinal materials will cost after I think of them."
"Okay! You must come to me. I promise that the price is fair and I will never cheat you."
The two adventurers said goodbye to Vertok. He went down the stairs alone to the first floor of the hotel. As soon as he reached the kitchen door and before he entered, Boss Bottom, who was standing behind the bar, waved to him and called him, "Vell, come here, I want to see you if I need anything."
Wiltok walked over in confusion and asked: "Boss Bottom, what do you want from me?"
"I have a job I want to introduce you to." Bottom took out a plate filled with food from under the bar, pushed it in front of Wiltok, and said enthusiastically: "This is breakfast prepared for you, free of charge. Yes, you eat and we chat."
Wiltok took the plate, picked up a large chicken leg unceremoniously, stuffed it into his mouth, bit the tender and juicy chicken with his teeth, pinched the chicken leg bone with two slender fingers, and pulled it out of his mouth. Take it out and throw it on the plate.
Boss Bottom's eyes jumped when he saw it. He could only look elegant and calm while devouring food. He had only seen it in Wiltok.
Wiltok gave the hotel owner a strange look, then lowered his head and concentrated on the food. He ate very quickly, finishing half a plate in a few blinks.
Only then did Bottom react and continued: "Dr. Cole, do you know him? The man who often comes to check your body... He has a medicine refinery in the town, and almost all the medicines used by adventurers in Braun Town are... They are all prepared by Cole. Last night, Dr. Cole's assistant accidentally cut his finger while handling the medicinal materials. The poor guy will not be able to work in the alchemy shop for a while. Cole plans to recruit a man with smart hands and feet. , temporarily taking over the assistant’s work.”
As he spoke, the hotel owner lowered his voice, half-lying on the bar with his thick body, trying to get as close as possible, acting mysteriously as if he was afraid of being overheard by the shop assistants around him.
"This is a good job. The assistant in the medicine shop only needs to work for half a day. Dr. Cole will provide two meals and a reward of 1 silver tower every day... Weir, the first thing I think of for such a good thing is you, Qian Don't let Piru and the others hear... You exercise every morning and help in the pharmacy in the afternoon. They are all simple tasks of processing medicinal materials. At night, you go back to the hotel to sleep. Not only do you get free lunch and dinner, but you can also earn 1 silver pagoda. .What do you think? If you agree, I will make arrangements for you."
Wiltok was a little moved. He was worried about his blood potion. If he went to work in Dr. Cole's pharmacy, he might be able to recall something. However, the two adventurers who had just been on the second floor reminded him to be careful of being deceived, and Wiltok felt that it made sense.
After finishing the food on the plate quickly, Wiltok drank water to rinse his mouth, then picked up the white napkin on the plate and wiped his mouth. He nodded politely to Bottom and said, "The breakfast is very rich and tastes very good." Great, thank you for your hospitality. Mr. Bottom, you are a good man."
He smiled slightly, picked up the dinner plate gently, turned around and walked towards the kitchen, looking elegant and decent. Bottom was stunned and quickly asked: "You agree?"
Wiltok turned around, shook his head and said, "I disagree."
"Okay...huh? No, then why?"
"I don't think Dr. Cole is a good person," Wiltok said honestly.
Bottom's eyes widened and he said with his tongue tied: "A good... person? Cole, he doesn't look like a good person... No, no, no, you must be mistaken. Did someone say that in front of you? Did you say something bad about Cole? Wiltok, you can't easily believe the lies of the rumor mongers. Cole is a good man, just a little ugly, but he is a good person... If you don't believe it, you can ask Sarah."
"Okay, I'll ask Sarah right now."
Wiltok walked into the kitchen carrying a dinner plate. After a while, he came out, nodded to the hotel owner, and shook his head.
Bottom scratched his hair and asked helplessly: "Do you agree or disagree?"
Wiltok said: "I agree to be Dr. Cole's assistant, but I don't agree with the treatment he gives. I want 2 silver towers a day, and he has to provide me with three meals."
After hearing the conditions he offered, Bottom finally felt relieved, but he still pretended to be embarrassed and said in a bargaining manner: "It only takes half a day's work for two silver pagodas and three meals. Your asking price is too high, Ke I'm afraid Dr. Er won't agree... Weir, I think it's more appropriate for you to work for three and a half days and get four silver pagoda wages."
Wiltok looked at the hotel owner like he was a fool. He explained: "I didn't ask for more wages, and I saved Dr. Cole a meal."
Bottom couldn't help but wanted to laugh, but he saw Wiltok clasping his fingers and saying seriously: "A half-day job costs 1 silver tower, plus lunch and dinner. Two half-day jobs are 2 silver towers plus four meals." Meal. I work for Dr. Cole for one day, which is equivalent to two and a half days, so he should pay me 2 silver towers and four meals. I only eat three meals a day, saving Dr. Cole one meal."
Bottom was stunned and asked in surprise: "Don't you exercise every morning?"
Wiltok raised his chin slightly and said proudly: "I no longer need to exercise, I am very strong now!"
Bottom looked him up and down, deliberately raised his thick and muscular arms, and said jokingly: "I really didn't see it... your muscles seem to be no different from before."
After ten times of secret method forging and regaining some of his abilities, Wiltok originally had the idea of showing off. When the hotel owner said this, he was immediately eager to give it a try. He pointed to the weapon rack behind the bar and said, "Give me that curved sword." , let me demonstrate it to you.”
He was referring to a scimitar with a black surface. The blade is not easily reflective, is sharp enough, and is heavy. It is a commonly used weapon for adventurers.
Bottom took off his scimitar, walked out from behind the bar, stood next to Wiltok, and said with a smile: "Haha, scimitar? In us, it is called a scimitar, and some people in Fallen Leaf City also like to call it arc. Sword. I hope it’s not the first time you use it. Anyway, be careful and don’t hurt yourself.”
Wiltok's face was a little hot. He took the scimitar from the hotel owner's hand and shook it. The dark scimitar only flashed on the bar and then hovered steadily. The flash of the sword just now seemed to be just an illusion, and the blade trembled. The buzzing sound is distant and desolate. An oak wine glass on the bar suddenly cracked in the middle, split in two, and hit the table with a slight "snap" sound.
But Boss Bottom seemed to hear a rumble of thunder and felt extremely shocked. He put two fingers on the back of the knife, instantly extinguishing the vibration of the blade. Then he raised his other arm and swept across the bar calmly, cracking The oak cup miraculously disappeared.
"If you have this ability, I will ask Cole to give you three silver towers of wages every day... Also, you just accidentally broke an oak cup. You have to pay compensation according to the rules. I will charge it to your account first."
