Chapter 316 - The Demonic Body
Chapter 316: The Demonic Body
“An incredible change has happened!”
James’s tone was filled with emotion and a hint of amazement.
As the most famous doctor in the Continent of Caradia, his medical skills were undoubtedly at the top level. However, he still had no clue about the changes that Bunduk had experienced.
Or rather, it had already surpassed the understanding of conventional medicine that he had learned before!
But behind him, a mage’s surprised cry could be heard.
“This… This Is…”
They all looked at Bunduk, their faces filled with shock. It was obvious that they were surprised to see the changes of this general who had once been saved by them.
Kant frowned and asked in a serious tone, “What have you discovered?”
“What’s happened to me?”, even Bunduk stood on the spot.
Although his body had undergone a strange transformation, which could even be described as a perfect evolution, allowing him to transform from an ordinary body into a special physique that could quickly recover from injuries, he still wanted to know what had happened to him.
This concerned his life, and everyone wanted to know.
“That’s right.”
The mages looked at each other and saw the affirmation in each other’s eyes.
The leader of mages took a deep breath and said slowly, “Demonic Body!”
“Demonic Body?”
James and Bunduk widened their eyes in surprise.
Even Kant frowned slightly and scanned Bunduk’s forehead and skin. He looked no different from usual and did not find any features related to demon horns or demons.
“That’s right, it’s the Demonic Body!”
The mage leader continued to be certain and said in surprise, “Yes, the Demonic Body, it’s really a miracle!”
“This…”, Bunduk was a little stunned. “How did I… How did I become the Demonic Body…”
“That’s right, it’s impossible.”
James, who was beside him, could not believe it, he said to the mages, “Bunduk is still a human, how did he become a demon? Even if his wounds have healed, they are still the same as usual. He looks completely human, how can he be called a demon?”
They were born in the world of Caradia, which was a fictional historical world. Although there were descriptions of the so-called demons, undead, and even gods, there were actually no real creatures like them in their world.
They were just the ideas and descriptions of the scholars or theologians in history.
Even if they came to this Land of Miracle
Coming to this world, which had demons, undead, and even gods, their original concepts still existed, and they did not suffer much impact. They were had doubts in these fantasy races.
But the mages from the world of “Wind of War”, the Enfath Empire, could clearly understand this change.
Because they originally came from the fantasy-type magic world!
“Demonic Body.”
The mage leader spoke slowly, explaining in a grave tone, “This is a special physique. It is a physique that can only be formed after being infected by demon-type negative energy and directly pouring demon blood into the body and fusing with one’s own blood.”
“It sounds very shocking.”, Kant narrowed his eyes.
“That’s right.”
The leader sighed. “Even I’m shocked.”. He looked at Bunduk, his tone was serious. “If this happened to an ordinary person, they would be directly injured by the negative energy and corrosive nature of the blood of demons. Moreover, the blood of demons and human blood are two completely different things. A serious repulsive reaction would produce a fatal effect.”
“But… why did I survive?”, Bunduk gulped. Although he did not understand the technical terms in the mage leader’s words, he also understood that he had really survived.
“This is the problem.”
The mage leader did not directly answer.
Looking at Bunduk, they looked at each other and came to a conclusion. “Perhaps it is because your physique is compatible with the demon’s blood, and the negative energy was suppressed by Lord Kant’s divine power, that’s why he obtained the Demonic Body.”
They paused for a moment, the mages still spoke. “But it doesn’t matter. As long as you obtain a Demonic Body, you will be able to control part of the demon’s power. Rapid recovery is only one of them. As time passes, the development of the demon’s body will become deeper and deeper, and you will be able to obtain even more power. You can even benefit from the foundation of humans and become stronger than demons.”
“So, it’s a good thing?”, Bunduk widened his eyes.
“Of course.”, the mages nodded.
“This is… really crazy.”, James was still lamenting. At the same time, he reached out his hand and subconsciously touched the medical tools behind him. He shook his head and said, “My medical skills may really not be of much help.”
“No, I can recover too quickly. It’s still inseparable from your recuperation and care.”
Bunduk comforted him from the side.
They were old friends who had known each other for a long time. Bunduk also thanked him. “The medicinal herbs that you have used in the past few days are all herbs that you found in the nearby mountains. I feel that after using them, my body will be strengthened.”
The mages added, “That’s right. During the development process of the Demonic Body, a large amount of physical strength will be consumed. Using medicinal herbs will help to restore the body. At the same time, it will replenish a large amount of nutrients. It is also an important aid to the development of the Demonic Body. Perhaps when the Demonic Body is completely developed in the future, Master Bunduk, who has the power of the demon race, will be unexpectedly powerful.”
“For Lord Kant, I’m willing to use all the power I have.”, Bunduk looked at Kant and promptly expressed his loyalty.
“Mm.”, Kant nodded. He was not a leader who was good at being jealous.
Most importantly.
The system had already stabilized everyone’s loyalty.
Although this was the real world, these people were still flesh and blood.
However, after the system’s changes and the changes in the rules, no one would betray Kant, just like how they couldn’t betray their closest person, protect their deepest and most untouchable bottom line, they were stubborn and loyal!
To be able to obtain the Demonic Body was really out of Kant’s expectations.
Bunduk’s strength increased.
But for Kant, his strength also increased.
Because Bunduk was his subordinate general, he was able to lead a team into battle, or he was a key figure in a certain area. His own strength had increased, so naturally, it had increased Kant’s strength as well!
“Continue to wait here, I need the day you fully recover.”
Kant instructed Bunduk.
“Understood!”, Bunduk was also very loyal.
“Quickly enter the town.”
James also made a respectful gesture to Kant. “I just told the servants to arrange a sumptuous welcome banquet. I think you won’t believe it. Now, this town can not only eat delicious pasta, but also all kinds of fresh vegetables, red meat, and fat fish.”
“Very good, I’m looking forward to it.”, Kant nodded and walked toward the city gate in front.
The people behind him quickly followed.
At the top of the city gate, the Ravenstern Rangers, Wardens, and Rhodok Snipers all bowed and greeted Kant. They all watched Kant walk past with passion, and the atmosphere was as lively as if the king had personally visited them.
The stone road extended all the way to the peak of the mountain.
On both sides of the road, there were already some decorations, and a lot of decorative wild flowers were planted.
It looked beautiful.
It gave a good first impression after entering the town.
At least when Kant left, the town was still very simple. After more than a month of construction, all kinds of buildings had been built, including more houses, which attracted more civilians.
The town was an important place for people to live in, not to mention that it was a base for agriculture and animal husbandry, which needed more civilians. If handicraft industries were to be moved here in the future, the amount of labor required would be even more shocking.
Of course, if the town’s agricultural foundation was not well established, Kant would not have completely moved handicraft industries, such as sugar mills, wool mills, linen mills, and tanning mills to this place. Even if there were wool mills and tanning mills here, they would not expand the scale of handicraft industries too much.
The increase in population was a help to towns, but it was also a pressure.
The food problem was the most important factor.
As long as the town’s agriculture developed and could ensure self-sufficiency, the handicraft industry would develop as well.
Moreover, the current handicraft industry did not have much of an effect on Kant. After all, the products of the handicraft industry would be used for trade. There was very little that could be used by themselves, and it could not be compared to the essential agriculture that consumed a lot of resources.
They entered the council hall.
It was still the same as before.
Kant sat on the main seat and asked Bunduk and James, “I remember that I once stored a sun disk made of gold here. You should have an impression of it.”
“Oh, of course.”
James nodded. “It’s in the storeroom.”
This kind of useless handicraft was equivalent to the most common gold without the system’s determination.
After all, it did not release its own power and was only in its natural status. Even if it was known that it was a rare item of high value, it could not be used. Other than storing it, there was no other way.
Kant did not care, as long as it was safe here.
Looking at James, he continued to ask, “When I was away, I was at the bottom of the temple ruins, in the direction of the ancient passage. There should be no abnormalities, right?”
“No.”
Bunduk answered, “I just went down to take a look today. It’s very normal. There aren’t any unusual movements.”
“Okay.”, Kant ordered, “Go prepare some wood and make a long ladder. I plan to go to the ruins of the temple ruins and take a look at the stone platform. If possible, I will also carry out the gold in the coffin.”
“I will go prepare now.”, James immediately got up and went to prepare.
The long ladder was very easy to make.
At present, in order to build a town, there was a lot of high-quality wood.
Moreover, even if they needed wood, they could go to the surrounding forest to cut it down. It would not take too long to mobilize the soldiers and civilians to cut down a lot of high-quality wood. Not to mention making a long ladder, they could even make a wooden bridge!
The Rhodok people also had a very high talent in making small wooden buildings.
After all, they lived in the mountains.
Wood was an important building material. Wooden houses, wooden bridges across cliffs, and even wooden boats by the sea all needed wood to be meticulously made. The carpentry skills of the Kingdom of Rhodoks were also famous in the mainland.
The chefs also brought over the sumptuous food prepared for Kant and the others.
They were chatting while enjoying the meals.
Soon, the civilians used tools to build four wooden ladders that were 10 meters long and 3 meters wide.
This was for safety reasons.
The gold was heavy, and below it was the turbulent subterranean river. If there was an accident and they fell into the subterranean river, the consequences would be unimaginable. They could only be careful.
