Chapter 3942 [Blood Essence of All Things] and the Bubble Spell
Although they didn't need to eat while in the "Bloodstained Factory," the three witches were still happy to see these normal foods. Unfortunately, normal food couldn't be preserved for long in this environment; even the witches themselves would be corrupted by the environment, let alone the food.
Therefore, the old witch only asked Shad to provide enough food for one meal, and then checked with Shad to see what other supplies he could provide. Shad had said before he left that he would leave but would also return, so Old Lady Gustav took the initiative to ask Shad to bring them other materials on his next visit.
"I can stay a while longer this time. Before I leave, I'll open the door with you one more time to see if we can find anything. After all, this room has special rules that allow us to open the door and explore at will."
The key question now is, how do we ensure that when we reach the end, we won't be killed by the most powerful being produced by this factory? Although we have created new life, those beings at the very beginning are unlikely to be close to us.
The three witches had already considered this point, and Old Lady Gustav said:
"Although the 'Life Furnace' only requires twelve types of flesh and blood organs, the clues left by our predecessors indicate that we can process these flesh and blood organs to some extent. When we opened the first furnace, the three of us didn't have much on us, so I simply sealed the [Great Disintegration Technique] in the left eyeball that the furnace needed."
If I encounter that left eyeball again, I can detonate the [Great Disintegration Technique] centered on that eyeball.
Gina nodded:
"As for the second furnace, once I've recovered a bit more, I'll dissolve the tiny bubbles into this flesh and blood. Even though many tiny bubbles will be lost during the forging process, as long as one remains, I can manipulate it to do many things when I sense it again."
Xia De understood:
"Therefore, I need to bring in some materials from the outside that can harm flesh-and-blood creatures, but the damage won't be immediately apparent?"
"It doesn't necessarily have to be direct harm; curses can certainly work. Or, if you can bring in powerful relics or even artifacts from the outside world that target 'mutated flesh' monsters, things will be much simpler."
As the old witch spoke, she continued to write down the treatment plan for Shad.
"Weapons of relic quality may not be allowed to be brought in."
Shad said that, after all, the items that Tree Father allowed Shad to bring from the past were all helpful for the mission.
“We had some ideas before. Mrs. Gustav comes from the Church of Creation, and she knows more about the mysteries of flesh and blood than the two of us combined. However, my mechanical skills are also very good.”
The halfling girl also spoke up:
“Mr. Hamilton, if possible, I would like you to bring me some [Active Metal] next time you come. It is the lowest grade of relic, and it looks like liquid mercury. I want to use this material to make something to tamper with the third furnace.”
Shad carefully noted down the name of the relic, though he had never heard of such a relic before:
“But I want to correct you. Although you are all tampering with things, you are essentially adding materials to the ‘Furnace of Life,’ so you are helping that unknown life to be born.”
He emphasized this because it was a requirement of the Tree Father's mission, and the witches, though unaware of the reason, all nodded in agreement.
"If possible, I will collect some more [Blood Essence of All Things] next time I come. If we can find them outside, we won't have to face powerful enemies and monsters here."
Therefore, Shad still needs to contact Mr. Bernhardt, since the coroner, Mr. Albert, himself said that he had a bad relationship with the tribe, and Shad doesn't want Mr. Albert to be troubled because of his own affairs.
"I don't know if Mr. Bernhardt is still in Willendale. When he wrote a letter some time ago complaining about the wine sales this year, he seemed to mention that he would be leaving there temporarily."
Xia De thought to himself, but he wasn't sure if the vampire species could still produce the [Blood Essence of All Things], and it certainly wouldn't be free.
He then discussed the current situation at length with the three witches. After learning that Shad could stay in the outside world for a long time after leaving, Lady Gustav even suggested that he learn some magical arts related to "Flesh Withering," which would be very useful in his future adventures.
Shad was also curious about Miss Lenore Bradway's mechanical creation power, but explaining this power was complicated and couldn't be done in a short time. She simply said:
"This is not the power passed down by the halfling race or the church. It is the knowledge left behind by an ancient sorcerer that my maternal grandfather discovered when he fell into a large pit in the deep mountains during his travels around the world when he was young."
This sounds like something out of a witch's adventure novel, but my grandfather wasn't interested in power; he just loved traveling, and my mother was only interested in cooking. So this knowledge wasn't finally unearthed until my generation, though I admit I didn't learn it very well.
Halflings are generally gentle and love life, which is understandable to everyone.
Shad was also very curious about Gina's "bubbles," and the pink ruby dragon girl was happy to explain to Shad:
"This is indeed not the power inherited from the Ruby Dragon bloodline, but it was not learned from elsewhere either; I developed it myself. Before I entered Saint Byrons, because my scales were a different color from other dragons, I rarely participated in battles and was only responsible for looking after the dragon eggs and baby dragons in the dragon's nest."
When I have free time, I like to blow bubbles. Later, I discovered that the baby dragons really liked the bubbles I blew, so I developed hypnotic bubbles and carrier bubbles that can wrap around them and make them fly around.
She reminisced about the past, and although she spoke of it lightly, everyone could guess that during her time as a young dragon, she was actually discriminated against in her tribe because of the color of her scales.
"Later, I discovered many, many more ways to use bubbles, which may be a positive manifestation of my bloodline mutation. Until a few years ago, when Miss Felian Anna recruited students from the entire material world, I quit my job, left my clan, and went to take the exam with a small bag. At the time, I was thinking that if I didn't pass the exam, I would use my previous savings to find a preparatory class at a witch academy."
My written exam scores at the academy weren't very good, but during the interview, Miss Orlando was very interested in my bubbles and gave me a high score, which is why I stayed at the academy.
She briefly described her experience, and Xia De asked curiously:
"So, other people can learn this bubble power too, right?"
"Yes! However, this power doesn't actually play a big role in battle; it's only very useful for the maid's work."
But Shad remained interested; he particularly liked the bubble magic that could envelop objects and make them fly, even small animals. Gina, of course, wasn't stingy in sharing her power with Shad. After Mrs. Gustav finished writing the treatment plan, she also penned her own "magic spell—Bubble Charm: Carrying Bubble" for Shad:
"The Bubble Carrying Charm is the most basic bubble spell, but to master it like I do, you need to practice diligently. Otherwise, you can only carry very small objects. Oh, when casting the spell, you need to be able to blow bubbles. I can blow bubbles because of my race and talent. If you can't, you can find a plant called 'Bubble Pod.' Chewing that plant will also make you blow bubbles."
Gina was quite enthusiastic, her tail swishing back and forth as she spoke. However, because the space was rather small, her tail accidentally bumped into Mrs. Gustav beside her.
The dragon maid blushed and dared not flick her tail carelessly again.
Thanks to Shad's [Dark Moon Grace], the three witches recovered quickly. During their recovery, Shad also consulted the old witch about the knowledge of "Flesh and Blood Creation." He had previously learned about this from the perspective of the "Red Moon" under Danist's guidance, but now, learning about it from the followers of the [Lady of Creation] was a completely different experience.
With ten minutes remaining in the adventure, Xia Decai volunteered to open the door again and explore the factory.
The "Forge of Life" room has a unique feature: no monster can directly enter it. Therefore, if you encounter a highly dangerous room after opening the door, you can choose not to enter.
Unfortunately, this door has the limitation of not being able to be opened and closed frequently; otherwise, one could easily select a suitable room by opening and closing the door very quickly.
According to the witches' estimates, if he didn't spend too much time in the outer rooms, Shad should be able to see two more rooms before leaving. Shad didn't expect to gain much; his main goal was to continue familiarizing himself with the rules of this place.
So the four of them gathered again in front of the only door in the room, and after they were ready, Mrs. Gustave opened the door.
But she only glanced inside before slamming the door shut again—this room allowed doors to be closed on the same side.
Shad was about to ask what was wrong when the old witch suddenly slumped forward, but fortunately Shad and Gina caught her in time.
"Oh! Look at her face!"
Miss Bradley warned in alarm, and only then did Shad notice a disgusting, blood-red tentacle protruding directly from the old witch's right eye, with an eyeball still attached to the tip of the tentacle.
This scene made his lips twitch, but Shad's hands didn't slow down. After a flash of moonlight, the tentacle was severed. The tentacle with the eyeball attached fell to the ground with a "splat," and then, as if alive, it grew spider legs to try to escape, but was immediately trapped by the short witch's flames, and then shattered by Gina's bubbles.
