Elvin rubbed his hands. He was looking forward to seeing this unexpected enemy give him a spoil of war that would also exceed his expectations. Thinking about it, this person who was controlled by a parasite would not be an "honest person" who would obediently be a gang leader.
Even without the treasure's owner leading the way, Elvin only needed to spend a little more effort to find the treasure's location. Just like the previous two bases, there was nothing new about it. It was in the leader's room.
He opened a secret door that was hidden in an oil painting.
surprise！
"This guy really isn't honest, but … I like it!"
The entrance was small, but there was a hidden treasure room. Other than the thick bills left behind by the loan sharks, there was a dazzling array of jewelry, gold notes, gold coins, and at least dozens of bottles of various potions.
Elvin was so happy that he was beaming. His aura was very different from his current image as the cold Chivalrous Bandit Zorro. He was no different from a mouse that had fallen into a rice bowl.
Elvin could not help but be happy. He had already identified the unique potion he had obtained from the first Blood Hand's base.
It was a unique system that was different from traditional potions or potions. It was directly rooted in a human's life force. Elvin guessed that it might be a byproduct of Blood Hand's evil sacrificial ritual.
It had all sorts of miraculous effects, such as maintaining one's appearance, emitting charm, rapid regeneration, life purification, and so on. Most importantly, it could be used by normal people without any side effects.
Furthermore, Elvin learned from the higher-ups of these bases that among the potions that Blood Hand had named "Blood Potion", there was a treasure called "Flawless Holy Blood". It even had the miraculous effect of restoring a person's bodily functions and indirectly extending their lifespan.
This was enough to make anyone go crazy!
Although this potion was only useful for normal people and low-level Superhumans, and the effects were not great, it was already shocking enough.
Elvin guessed that this might be the main reason why Blood Hand did not attract the attention of the government and the churches despite committing all sorts of evil deeds!
The effects on people in the prime of their lives were average, but it was very attractive to the elderly nobles. The protective umbrella behind Blood Hand would never allow such a miraculous drug to be cut off!
Other than the "Flawless Holy Blood", even if it was just an ordinary type of "Bloody Potion", because of its almost zero threshold and side effects, it was still in short supply in the black market, and its value was huge.
Umbrella wanted it, and so did Elvin.
However, he knew that Blood Hand wouldn't give it to him, so he had to take it himself …
He continued to rummage through other people's treasures like a happy groundhog.
"Aha, look what I've found!"
This special boss did not disappoint him.
In the innermost layer of the treasure room, Elvin found a walnut box inlaid with gold. Inside the box was a bottle of magnificent red potion that was as bright as the sunset.
Although there was no label, Elvin had a premonition that this bottle was definitely the legendary "Flawless Sacred Blood"!
"Haha, I'm rich!"
Not to mention the valuable loot from before, as long as Elvin was willing to sell this bottle of "Flawless Sacred Blood", even if the price was 2,000 gold coins, it would be snatched up in an instant.
However, although Elvin couldn't use it himself, it would be a pity to only exchange this kind of treasure for gold coins.
He took out the bottle of beautiful potion and was about to admire it when the lining of the box fell off. It was a piece of soft and smooth leather, a piece of leather with strange red words and patterns engraved on its surface.
"What is this?"
This piece of leather instantly attracted Elvin's attention. He put the "Flawless Sacred Blood" that he loved so much just a moment ago to the side and carefully read the words on the leather.
"Witchcraft: Inspire …"
Reading the "Spiritual Text" on it word by word, Elvin's face was filled with joy.
"A Witchcraft Handbook? This guy is too wasteful. He actually used this kind of thing as the lining of a potion box! "
Elvin couldn't wait to whip the corpse of the guy who had been burned to ashes like a withered firewood after all the nutrients had been absorbed by the parasite.
Even if he were to search through the entire "Shadow Library", there would only be a handful of "Witchcraft" knowledge that could directly bring strength to a person.
In the eyes of Magi, this inconspicuous piece of leather was more precious than all the "Scarlet Magic Potions" he had, including the bottle of "Flawless Sacred Blood".
This guy was a classic example of buying the casket and returning the pearl!
After a rough analysis, Elvin understood.
This spell, "Inspire," was a neutral spell that originated from the most ancient witchcraft inheritance. It could also be related to the ancient shaman system. Whether it was to inspire the courage of a warrior or to preserve the life of a heavily injured person, it was a godly skill that was extremely cost-effective!
Whether it was the small spells that Elvin had obtained from Trou's memories or the sporadic gains from the "Shadow Library", none of them could compare to "Inspire." It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was the greatest gain of the night.
After all, Elvin himself was still very young. He had never thought of tasting the bottle of "Flawless Sacred Blood" that might have been made from a living person. His foundation was the extraordinary knowledge that could continuously strengthen his path as a Magus.
The returns he received were far beyond his expectations.
Elvin quickly packed up his spoils of war and burned all the money loaned to him. Just like before, he waved his hand and disappeared into the complicated streets of the city with a big bag on his back.
Elvin's destination wasn't the Naval Academy. Instead, it was a house that he had specially rented in the suburbs for today's operation.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the origin of so many spoils of war, and it would also increase the risk of him being exposed. Although he wasn't afraid of the follow-up tracking methods of "Blood Hand," Elvin didn't want to get into trouble for no reason.
Elvin's footsteps were extremely fast. He specifically chose to walk in the small alleys where there were no people. From time to time, he would use the walls and roofs of other people's courtyards. At his current level, the terrain could no longer restrict his footsteps.
"Beep … Beep …"
Suddenly, a very rhythmic notification sound came into Elvin's ears. It was the real-time signal that the owl Beth sent after discovering the abnormal situation.
In fact, even the seabird scouts couldn't continuously investigate all day long, and it would also cause a waste of magic power and resources in non-combat state. Now, Elvin had opened the image within a certain range to a limited extent.
With Beth's growing wisdom, it could already distinguish which situations were urgent, important, dangerous, abnormal, and so on. It could also give corresponding hints to Elvin.
Focusing, the image that Beth sent had already appeared in Elvin's mind.
The moonlight was pale.
Bang —
Bang —
Seven alleys away from Elvin, in a factory area on the outskirts of the city, a young man with a pale face and dark circles under his eyes, wearing a shirt and suspenders, was desperately waving a heavy forging hammer. He grinned as he hammered a pool of blood-red "mud" on the ground that no longer looked like a human.
There were also two other worker-like men who were desperately running in the opposite direction.
But as if they were drunk, they staggered after taking two steps as if something had seriously affected their sense of direction. No matter how hard they tried to run, they could only run a few meters in half a day.
"So … brutal?!" His mouth was slightly agape.
Through the eyes of a seabird, Elvin had a panoramic view of the crazy and bloody murder scene.
