"My identity isn't a secret in the black market … Although it won't sell me out, for safety's sake, I shouldn't return to that hotel!"
Wu Ming had always been prepared. This time, regardless of whether it was the identity of a free being, money, or equipment, he carried them with him. At this time, he naturally left without any hesitation. He didn't even need to return to the inn.
"Let's go … We're leaving the city!"
Wu Ming said to Beatrice. "A free adventurer and a girl covered in ulcers. This combination is a bit too conspicuous … After you're healed, we'll return. With the flow of people in Howling City, it'll be hard for them to find us …"
… …
Beatrice felt very ashamed.
As a thirteen-year-old girl from a noble family, she already had her first period. She could get engaged and take on the responsibilities of a wife and mother.
But now, she was soaking in hot water in front of a strange man, almost naked.
The man who bought her looked very young, probably not even twenty years old, but he was astonishingly powerful. She could never forget the scene of him killing six men in black as if he was taking a stroll in the park.
If she had this kind of power back then, perhaps her family wouldn't have suffered that kind of misfortune.
Unfortunately, this guy who called himself William was a bastard without the slightest bit of nobility and etiquette!
When they left Howling Howl City, he brought her to this cave and boiled a pot of strange hot water.
In the past, the little lady would have fainted the moment she smelled the strange smell of grass mixed with animal organs, but now she felt as if she was about to be boiled into a pot of soup.
"Are you going to eat me?"
Wu Ming finally heard Beatrice's words.
"I almost thought you were a mute girl!"
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Why would you think that?"
"Don't all the wizards in the stories do this?"
Beatrice replied matter-of-factly.
"I need to correct a few things. First, I'm not a wizard! Second, I'm not interested in eating you! Third, climb out yourself, scrub your body clean, and then apply this. Don't miss a single nail! "
Wu Ming handed the pot of ashes to Beatrice. "Don't forget … you're my slave now! Listen to me! "
"Yes, sir!"
Beatrice crawled out, wiped her body, and smeared black ashes on it.
Obviously, she was a smart girl. She already knew that the person in front of her wanted to heal her, and she also had the desire to live.
"This is a very brilliant doctor …"
Beatrice painted herself black and felt the pain on her skin ease a lot. She couldn't help but think silently.
In order to cure her, the slave owner had found many doctors, pharmacists, scholars, and even priests in the church … Unfortunately, the waves of people he had invited with hope could only leave with regret. In the end, even the slave owner had given up all hope.
A blue-blood noble with a rather pure bloodline. Not a bad material …
Wu Ming thought to himself as he took out a thumb-sized glass bottle.
In the center of the bottle, there was a drop of pale yellow oil lying there quietly, appearing to be in a semi-solidified state.
"A necessity for a Knight's baptism, holy oil …"
He muttered under his breath and uncorked the bottle.
A fragrant and clear aura spread out, carrying with it a bit of a stimulating smell.
"Essence grass, stone snake orchid …"
Wu Ming thought silently and reported the names of the two ingredients, "There is also a bit of a strange smell, black fish oil …"
What he was doing now was to reverse the formula of the holy oil and find the secret of a Knight's baptism.
"The three elements of a Knight's baptism are physical limits, spiritual requirements, and holy oil. None of them can be missing … The last holy oil secret medicine should be just a primer! The direction to stimulate the potential of life … "
A Knight's baptism needed to last for several days. Every day, the body was smeared with special holy oil and prayed in a quiet room.
In Wu Ming's view, this was a process of stimulating the potential of life, or burning life energy to undergo transformation.
After mastering the general direction, with his accumulated herbology ability, the progress of the Knight's Holy Oil research was simply rapid. Only the last mysterious ingredient had not been analyzed yet.
"I'm afraid … I can only do expendable research!"
Wu Ming took out a piece of draft paper, recorded his current research, and listed several branches and ideas.
After that, he delicately put his finger inside and accurately took out a bit of the holy oil.
Cold … then hot.
Feeling the touch of his finger, Wu Ming smiled: "Sure enough, it's burning the potential of life energy to break through the limit … in the words of the past life, it's speeding up cell division and inducing evolution in a specific direction, huh?"
"If I want to undergo a complete transformation, this amount is still too little …"
He thought for a bit, then his expression changed: "No! Something's wrong! "
After the cold and hot, he suddenly felt a bit of strange power inside the holy oil, seeping into his finger and spreading.
Unfortunately, this amount was too little, so it was immediately rejected by Wu Ming's body.
"This is … the effect of the last mysterious ingredient?"
Wu Ming took a deep breath and understood a bit: "The power of bloodline?"
If he hadn't gone through Shen Wu world, he wouldn't have been able to understand the source and composition of this power so well.
But the martial artists of that world all awakened their own bloodline in the end, returning to their original path. His achievement of shattering the void of space was based on his research on martial artists' bloodlines, so he was very sensitive to it.
Because of that, he was able to sense it right away.
"This should be a bloodline of a superior race … it can suppress and influence those below, and it can be fixed into the genes to form some sort of ability …"
"Some kind of powerful creature bloodline?"
Wu Ming quickly understood the effects of this bloodline: "Releasing powerful life energy, as well as providing specific strengthening genes … why does this guy who relies on bloodlines look like a warlock?"
"This kind of powerful bloodline, as long as it's a superior race, it should be able to work … maybe I can find a few substitutes and change the ingredients …"
…
"Sir … I'm done!"
While Wu Ming was thinking, a timid voice came.
He looked at Beatrice who looked like a mud monkey and couldn't help but laugh: "Hm … very even, but … what do you call me?"
Wu Ming pointed at Beatrice's neck.
That was where she used to wear the slave collar. Although it had been temporarily taken off, it didn't mean that Wu Ming had given up his authority over her.
After all, he wasn't a nice guy.
"I can pay the ransom …"
Beatrice bit her lip. Although she had lost all hope, now that she could recover, she couldn't help but feel a bit of hope.
"Ransom yourself? Don't forget, the Roth family has already been destroyed … "
Wu Ming smiled faintly and said, "Even if there are hidden treasures left behind, according to the laws of the Seer Continent, everything created and obtained by a slave belongs to the slave owner … So, do you want to use my things to redeem yourself?"
As soon as he said that, Beatrice's body trembled a bit.
She bit her lip and made a half-kneeling gesture. "I understand … Master!"
"Very good! Recognize the reality! "
Wu Ming nodded satisfactorily: "Come here!"
Beatrice gritted her teeth, but still obeyed. She watched as Wu Ming took out a thin needle, pricked her finger, and squeezed out a drop of red agate-like blood.
In the center of the blood, there was a trace of blue. If one didn't pay attention, they might have missed it.
"From the bloodline of Thale the First, proof of nobility … Blue blood!"
Wu Ming stared at the drop of blood, and his expression suddenly changed. There was a touch of disbelief and surprise.
"It's actually …"
He looked at the bottle of holy oil, and his expression was very complicated: "The last mysterious material … Is it the bloodline of the blue-blood nobles?"
Wu Ming had a guess.
The conqueror, the king of the Wind Fireflies Plain, Thale the First, must have been an extremely powerful bloodline holder!
He used unparalleled power to conquer the Wind Fireflies Plain, and as a gift, he hid the seed of power in his bloodline and passed it on to his descendants. This was also the origin of all the blue-blood nobles!
"Usually, the bloodline of the blue-blood nobles is very thin, and it is in a hidden state … The Knight's Holy Oil stimulates this hidden power, and after mixing it, it stimulates life force and becomes a primer to break through to the extraordinary …"
A light flashed in Wu Ming's eyes: "At least … the nobles in the Wind Fireflies Plain all do this. The bloodline may be able to be replaced. Giant dragons, winged serpents … As long as it's a legendary high-energy creature, it can be used. Naturally, it can also be used if it's a human bloodline that has reached a certain limit …"
To complete this conjecture, what he needed to do was very simple: get the Highland Holy Oil that Viscount Garcia used, and compare the differences between the two.
"If that's the case, this little fellow has good potential. If I can completely develop the power of the bloodline …"
The influence of bloodline weakened with the generation.
The second and third generation of pure-bloods might be extraordinary from birth, but now, the blue-blood nobles were not much different from ordinary people — except that they had a slightly higher proportion of geniuses!
"Those who have power will definitely have power! The blue-blood nobles are smarter and stronger than ordinary people, and have a higher possibility of advancing … So they have always been nobles! "
Wu Ming estimated that this Knight's Baptism was most likely a secret technique used by the nobles to stimulate their own bloodline.
Through the injection of the modulation of the dominant bloodline, the hidden bloodline would be stimulated, and power would be obtained.
Later on, this method was popularized to ordinary people, and this was the origin of the knights!
