Chapter 17 17. My badge is vibrating, there must be one nearby
"A high-level alchemical compound has been detected and is being analyzed. The item is the 'Legendary Item·Perfect Restoration Potion'. The effect is to immediately cure all injuries except [death] and purify all curses and negative states after drinking it.
High-level creation of alchemy branch.
Drinking times【1/3】
The complete formula requires Alchemy Level 7 to parse, and the 'Restoration Potion·Elementary' formula has been included. ”
The beating prompts appeared in the translucent light screen in front of Mason's eyes, causing his eyes to reflect the colorful stream of light refracted by the amber liquid in the crystal bottle.
Perhaps this thing represents the background of the C-level personnel of the Stars Association, but the trump card that Old K used to make a comeback in desperate situations has been held by the young man.
"Hagrid? Who is that?"
Kneeling on the ground in front of him, Old K, who was weak and disarmed, gritted his teeth and asked.
His crossbow and hand crossbow were damaged in the battle, the giant hunting knife was still stuck in the Acromantula's head, and the one-handed sword he carried was already in Mason's hand.
He knew he was doomed, but he wanted to be clear.
"You just used Hagrid's knife to kill Hagrid's family, and you are still asking who Hagrid is? You are such a cold-blooded person."
Mason put away the crystal bottle in his hand and said something faintly, and Old K understood it completely at this moment. He coughed, struggled to cover his chest that was pierced by the poisonous spider legs, and said hoarsely:
"That giant zombie on the magic platform? It turns out he is you, Hagrid! Didn't you already know that when you gave me this knife? You had already made a plan to carry out this step when you stepped here.
You know them!
Professor McGonagall who turned into a cat, Mr. Potter with the invisibility cloak, Hagrid who raised monsters but died in a foreign country, Mao Mao, Aragog, and Yaya. You knew this world before you came, and you know this world better than the stars. .
Haha, I actually personally recruited Death into my team.
I am truly honored and deserve it! ”
The old hunter coughed up black blood. He stared at Mason who picked up his golden sword and said hoarsely:
"You, Mason Cooper, who are you? What are you doing hiding in Gotham disguised as a 17-year-old high school student? For a new life?
Pooh!
You monster! ”
"I am not the monster you say. I know that all these are just beautiful blessings that come with a new life."
Mason stepped forward with his sword in hand and said to Old K:
"We really have no grievances, but now I have to kill you. Frankly speaking, taking my life is not something that makes me feel happy."
"Then ridicule me to your heart's content, that's what losers do."
Old K lowered his head and let out a deep laugh.
Seeing him holding the thing hanging on his chest with his bloody hand, Mason's eyes changed and he stepped forward to press the old hunter's shoulder.
The one-handed sword decorated with a golden eagle handle in his hand cut through the blinding light, pierced into the heart of the old hunter with a pop, and shattered the weakly beating thing into pieces with a flip of his wrist.
But the next moment, his hand was clasped by Old K's fingers like a vise, pressing him down to prevent him from drawing out the sword.
"You are very nice."
The old hunter whispered like a flashback:
"But piercing the heart will not kill a witcher who has survived the Trial of Green Grass. Maybe you should be more cold-blooded next time. This will allow you to go further on this road."
Mason felt that the old guy was trying to drag him to death, so he gritted his teeth and pulled out the double-barreled hand cannon from his waist, pressed it against Old K's abdomen and fired twice, almost tearing Old K's body apart.
But Old K did not fight back.
Instead, he used his other hand to pull down, and the thing that had been hidden in his clothes was pulled out, and then tremblingly handed to Mason's eyes.
Fingers spread.
It's not a bomb, nor a weapon that can destroy everything, just a bloody black pendant strung up by a delicate chain.
Like some mysterious symbol.
The thing swung back and forth between Old K and Mason, allowing the young man to clearly see its carved patterns, which were carved decorations like a panther.
"It's 'cat'."
Blood gushed out from the corner of Old K's mouth.
He grabbed Mason's sword-holding hand tightly, coughed and said:
"And I am the last cat. After I die, those stories are destined to be forgotten, and there will be one less person to remember the lost hometown. Take it with you, Mason Cooper.
Help them when they come to you.
You defeated me, you were stronger than me, and they needed you more than me.
Mason!
forever!
Never trust anyone from the Star Club!
Don't trust those hounds.
Don’t be a bloodhound.
Remember the loser I am, this is the end of the Hound! ”
The old hunter's face, which was covered in blood and twisted by poison, showed an indescribable smile to Mason. Then, he lowered his head and completely stopped breathing.
"Successfully executes a special humanoid creature, and the proficiency of fighting skills is improved."
The cold reminder jumping into Mason's light screen confirmed the death of old K, but the old hunter's last whisper made the young man full of doubts.
He opened Old K's fingers and pulled out the sword. He hesitated and took the black iron pendant he called "cat" from Old K's hand.
It can be seen that Old K cherishes this thing very much, and he always keeps it close to his body.
Mason placed the pendant in front of his eyes, and a second later an information label popped up:
Witcher·Cat School Heritage Badge
Quality: Epic items·Exquisite craftsmanship
Trait: Cannot be viewed if you are not of [Demon Hunter] blood
Effect: Most of the effects of this item are only available to official demon hunters, but the special magical power added when it is forged allows all wearers to sense special magical changes within 300 yards nearby, and to immediately sense the magic of approaching women. who.
Item description: Your badge is vibrating! I think you know what this means?
“It’s really this thing!”
Mason's eyes twitched.
In fact, when Old K talked about the "Trial of Green Grass" before, the young man already had a premonition. Now after getting Old K's relics, he confirmed his guess.
He couldn't help but glance at the dead old K.
This guy never said his real name until his death, leaving Mason unable to tell whether he was one of the NPCs he was familiar with.
But what is certain is that the Society of Stars has also been involved in the world of demon hunters and warlocks, where old K came from, but his last words showed that although this guy is a member of the Society of Stars, he does not seem to be of the same mind as them.
He seems to have a secret organization or something.
With this thought, Mason squatted down in front of Old K, reached out and took out the old hunter's magic storage bag from his waist and fumbled around again.
This guy is really poor.
There was nothing but the sword and the tattered leather armor on his body.
It should be that when his previous team was wiped out, he lost almost all of his collection. Even the perfect recovery potion only had one drink left, so you can guess how tragic that battle was.
"You only gave me the badge and the sword. Where is your most important Gwent card as a witcher?"
The young man complained, and when he was about to stand up, he reached out and grasped the spider leg that pierced Old K's body, pulled it out hard and threw it into his backpack.
He plans to start modifying the Penguin's armed umbrella after he goes back. This thing can just replace the tip of the fighting spear. It also contains biological poison and will kill if it is poked.
Mason stood up and gave a victory sign to the kite man who was flying around in the sky to cover and alert. The latter let out a wild laugh like a ghost crying and wolf howling in the air, but the next moment he was extremely happy and sad when a gust of wind blew the kite and made him fall down. The trajectory of the flight and landing deviated, and it fell diagonally towards the forbidden forest.
Mason watched speechlessly as his idiot brother screamed and fell into the dark forest.
He breathed a sigh of relief and planned to ride a motorcycle to pick him up, but before leaving, he walked over to the body of the Acromantula, took off Hagrid's hunting knife, and searched for it on the spider's burned abdomen. He found two poison sacs that were still intact and a large ball of spider silk that had begun to solidify.
These things may come in handy later.
He put on the invisibility cloak and returned to his flying motorcycle, and took another look at the sword with the golden eagle hilt in his hand. This thing can be regarded as a relic of old K.
Mason put it in front of his eyes, and took out a rag to wipe off the venom and blood on it. The blade was still sharp, exuding a gloomy look.
Its information tag also pops up so Mason can see its name and effects:
Sujie's Eagle Assassin Glaive
Quality: Legendary forged items·Perfect craftsmanship
Status: Extraordinary sharpness·Lightness·Deadly grace·The witcher’s forging steel sword transformation [Toughness]·The witcher’s magic infusion strengthening [Break]
Effect: The light and deadly Assassin's Blade ignores all armor when attacking, and has a chance to refract light every time it is swung, causing all surrounding enemies to enter the [Blinded] and [Stunned] states.
Infusing [Broken] extends the effective attack range of the Assassin's Blade, and adds [Limb Broken] effect to the attack.
Maker: Sujie of Saint-Denis
Item description: Old K sacrificed six of his "teammates" in order to get this sword, which made him infamous in the organization, but it was all worth it, right?
Mason narrowed his eyes at the description of the sword.
He probably guessed how Old K's last team was wiped out, and he also guessed where the last world Old K went.
If the door to the world used by Old K can be located, does that mean that as long as Mason goes back, he can also enter at least three different worlds through that door, including the world under his feet?
Don’t forget that old K is still a “distinguished guest” on the Queen Anne’s Revenge.
"You are really a 'great traveler'. I can't help but start to guess your magnificent story."
Mason took out the last bit of fuel from his backpack and poured it on the body of Old K kneeling there, poured some more on the Acromantula's body and lit it on fire.
As the flames rose, the young man got on the flying motorcycle and flew towards the Forbidden Forest with his harvest.
After receiving the Kite Man, they should go back to the ruins of Hogwarts to find the relics left by Mr. Potter. Then they can bid farewell to this dangerous world and return to the warm and peaceful Gotham.
What the hell!
Mason never thought that one day he would use words like "peaceful and friendly" to describe that hellish place in Gotham.
Just as he was complaining and heading towards the Forbidden Forest, a miserable scream suddenly sounded from the forest ahead. The young man frowned and immediately twisted the handlebars to accelerate, rushing into the dark dense forest with a bang.
He soon saw the Kite Man.
The guy's green coat made him very conspicuous here, but his condition was very bad. He was just lying on a rock, maintaining a miserable posture of falling.
When Mason jumped out of the car, he gasped when he saw Kite Man's condition. The guy's abdomen and legs were almost completely torn apart by something like a claw.
"Run! Mason!"
When he saw the young man rushing over, the dying Kite Man waved his hands full of blood and shouted:
"There's a dragon here! A fire-breathing dragon! It attacked me and it's still running around! Don't come here! Tell my son that his dad loves him when he runs!"
Kite Man's shout made Mason's blood run cold.
He stopped and looked back, and sure enough, there was a huge and terrifying shadow passing over the Forbidden Forest. The zombie-like shriveled wings were still ferocious, and the shadow they cast when unfolded almost covered the sky.
That was definitely not something that the three blast shotguns of different sizes in Mason's hand could deal with. The young man turned around and rushed to the side of the motorcycle, turning away while the Kite Man looked at him with relief and regret.
The third-tier villain lies on the blood-stained stone like a sacrifice to the zombie dragon. He must still regret that he still failed to return to his hometown after killing old K.
But in terms of a villain's career, his ending can be regarded as a unique classic. Just ask the super villains in Gotham City, which one is qualified to die in the mouth of a legendary dragon?
The VIPs at Arkham Asylum are not treated like this.
But soon, the kite man, who was waiting for death with his eyes closed, heard the roar of engines coming from far away.
He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Mason wearing an invisibility cloak coming back. He jumped out of the car and ran over, dragging him into the car.
"It's useless."
The kite man struggled and said:
"Look at my wounds, I'm dead, don't bother, run, tell my son, I."
Before he could finish his last words, something hard, long, and warm was stuffed into his mouth, going straight into his throat and blocking all his words.
"You can tell your son what you want to say by yourself. Don't evade this responsibility."
Mason's eyes were filled with distress and regret.
He looked at the perfect recovery potion poured out of the crystal bottle that was inserted into his little brother's mouth, and while twisting the handlebars and rushing out, he whispered:
"Give you something to drink that would have made me as rich as Bruce Wayne. So, you owe me more than your life, Charles.
Be prepared to work for the rest of your life to pay off your debts. ”
Seeing its "food" taken away, the zombie dragon was obviously very angry. It took a deep breath in the air, and then spit out zombie venom mixed with high-temperature flames towards the escaping flying motorcycle.
Before despair set in, Mason glanced at the prominent red button on the motorcycle's dashboard.
So, he pressed it without hesitation.
"Boom"
The next moment, amidst the screams of the two men, blue flames spurted out from the exhaust pipe of the flying motorcycle. The speed instantly exceeded several times the speed of sound, and with a whoosh, they flew out of the burning forbidden forest and disappeared.
——
Two hours later, the Kite Man, who thought he was dead, woke up. The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was touch his crotch.
Well, this action is somewhat obscene.
So the kite man jumped up in surprise the next moment.
Everything that happened before was like a nightmare.
But now that he had woken up from the dream, not only did he feel full of strength all over his body, but even some old injuries on his body were completely healed.
The whole person suddenly became several years younger, returning from an old man in his thirties to the golden state of his twenties.
He danced half-naked on the spot like a madman for a long time, and screamed to the sky to release the joy of escaping death. After going crazy for a while, he calmed down and took the tattered remains of his kite to cover it. Ya's lower body was looked around.
He found that he had returned to the other side of the lake.
And it was already evening. The blue flying motorcycle was parked quietly on the grass beside the lake. Mason Cooper lit up a bonfire and was leisurely cooking dinner in a pot.
Beside him was an old men's black suitcase of World War II style.
"I seem to be missing out on a lot of things."
The Kite Man came over with a wink, sat down by the campfire, and said to Mason:
"Have you found the relics left by the savior?"
"Well, it's in the abandoned spire attic. It's not hard to find. There aren't even any magic traps."
Mason touched the Cat School badge hanging around his neck, patted the suitcase at hand, and said to the Kite Man:
"Let's rest here for the night. Let's go home early tomorrow morning." (End of Chapter)
