Fortunately, the footsteps did not stop outside the door, but went further into the corridor. After turning the corner, the footsteps gradually disappeared.
"Oh~"
Shade let out a long sigh and glanced around the room, discovering that the layout was similar to the room on the third floor, except that it was smaller. However, in addition to Shade and Bernhardt, there was also a skinny dwarf in the room.
It was wearing a robe that looked like rags, and was standing by the window holding a bamboo pole with a small kerosene lamp on the top.
"Thanks."
Shade thanked Mr. Bernhardt softly, and the latter shook his head. Shade then noticed that the vampire was also injured. Because of his race, Armand Bernhardt had fair skin, but his face was blue at this time, and the purple blood vessels on the back of his hands and face were particularly prominent, which was obviously a symptom of poisoning.
"Is there a magic potion to cure the poison? The blood poison."
He held onto the wall and slowly sat down on the carpet. He had already used up all his remaining strength to open the door for Xia De. If he didn't open the door, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
"Can blood-sucking species also be infected with blood poison?"
Xia De muttered to himself, then shook his head:
"I don't have a potion, but I have an antidote spell. Wait a moment."
He took out a container of water from his pocket and tapped it with his fingers to make the blasphemous aura flicker. Then he lifted the lower part of the mask and drank it in big gulps to heal his internal organs that were injured by the impact of the force.
Then, he poured the remaining water on his trembling wrists, but unless he dug up the flesh and dripped the water directly onto the bones, the full meal would be ineffective for injuries such as fractures.
In fact, the Silver Moon Gift of Scindia, who specializes in mental treatment, can also treat external injuries, and fractures fall within its treatment range. But it is daytime now, so this magic is useless.
"Try this first."
Xia De used a spell to summon clean water again, treated it with the food of fullness, and threw the test tube to the middle-aged man in red formal clothes opposite. After the latter took it, he just sniffed it, and drank the entire test tube of water in big gulps before Xia De could stop him.
Although the food that makes you full doesn't have the function of detoxifying, it does have a healing effect on a body damaged by toxins. He looked much better, at least he no longer spoke with that weak feeling:
"What were you trying to say? I noticed you wanted to talk."
"I want to say, don't drink it all at once..."
"belch!"
Although this gentleman who looked very elegant was already a middle-aged man and a different species, he still couldn't suppress his instinct to burp. He even burped three times in a row because he drank too much.
"This is a side effect of the thaumaturgy."
Shade said with a straight face, worried that he might laugh.
"It's okay, it's normal to have side effects."
Mr. Bernhardt said this with a normal expression, but his stern face made it seem like he was trying to hide his embarrassment.
"I have other detoxification abilities, but I need to treat my broken bones."
Xiade showed his right hand, and the vampire nodded:
"I can treat broken bones."
"Okay then."
He came in front of the other person and sat down leaning against the wall.
Armand Bernhardt looked at Chad warily. The latter reached into the inside pocket of his coat and took out a straight wooden stick that was so long that it was impossible for it to fit into the pocket.
It is really straight. Xia De saw it under the fallen leaves while climbing the mountain. Because it is so straight and has no small branches, Xia De "collected" it.
"Is this the ether-enhancing alchemical product used by people in the Fourth Age?"
Mr. Bernhardt asked with a little surprise.
"Ether-amplified alchemical products" are actually equivalent to the "magic wands" of witches in contemporary stories. In the Fourth Age, this kind of thing was very common, but the witches of the Fifth Age did not like this ugly thing, and the witches' secret arts were different from the power system of the Fourth Age, so they gradually withdrew from the ranks of commonly used alchemical products.
"No, it's just a stick."
Xia De said, holding the stick with his left hand, putting down the sword and extending his right hand:
"Treat together."
"good."
The two men, wary of each other, held hands together. As the stick in his left hand gradually became burnt, Shad's right hand glowed with a faint green light, while Bernhardt's left hand glowed with a blood-red light.
Seven rings.
The two lights intertwined and healed each other. Shade felt the pain in his right hand gradually subsided, and the purple marks on Mr. Bernhardt's face also faded.
They let go of each other's hands almost at the same time. Shade's wrist still felt a little uncomfortable, but it was no longer a big deal. Although there were still some traces of poisoning on Mr. Bernhard's face, it did not affect his normal movements.
After they stood up, they immediately took a step back.
"Thank you for your help. I still have things to deal with. Goodbye."
The vampire nodded to Xia De gracefully, then opened the door and walked out without giving Xia De a chance to speak. Xia De knew that the other party didn't dare to believe him, but he didn't completely believe the other party, so he didn't chase after him and suggest leaving the Sin Mansion together.
He turned around and looked at the thin, dark creature behind him holding a bamboo pole and an oil lamp, who looked like a goblin in the story. The other person was watching the interaction between Shad and Mr. Bernhardt the whole time.
Bernhardt had already left. Seeing Shade looking at it, the latter gave Shade a very ugly smile. Although he was not sure what the other party was, he was definitely not a pure human, because human ears would not be as big as his.
"Are you a trader in this building?"
"Yes sir, how can I help you?"
It also spoke the Draerion language, but compared to the old man who led Shad, its Draerion language was extremely unstandard. It seemed that while it was speaking with its mouth, it was also making sounds through its nose.
"What do you have here?"
"I have everything here. The vampire just now asked me for the 'Holy Grail of Blood'. According to the evaluation of your era, this is a sage-level relic."
"Vampire" is a derogatory term for blood-sucking races, which involves racial discrimination. Fortunately, few people care about this issue in the Sixth Era. The correct official name is "blood-sucking species", and the more flattering name is "blood race". However, most extraordinary people of other races like to use the name "blood race" to mock the pretentiousness of those human-shaped blood-sucking species.
As for the relic "Blood Holy Grail", it sounded like it was related to vampires. If the deal had been completed, and Sister Davelin mentioned the three other sage-level relics, the Blood Crown Vampire Ring and the Blood Thorn Scepter, then the local vampires would now have four sage-level relics.
This is a terrible thing.
