Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Bloodsucking Element, I Have a Bold Idea

Kang De held the box in his left hand and picked up the simple short sword in the sheath with his right.

Compared to weapons, it was more like a work of art.

He exerted strength with his thumb and pushed the sword out slightly.

The sharp edge and the hot flames complemented each other, lingering and spreading, emitting a blood-like charm.

Kang De looked at the blade in a daze.

The knight smiled knowingly. Although Kang De did not seem to recognize the allusion to these gifts, his obsession with weapons still resonated with him.

“A very good sword, is it?”

He said, “The Crimson Blood Flame Edge, the Fierce Killing Short Sword. It’s jointly produced by the Divine Smith, Nori Boulder, and the Alchemist, Sovoz. It has an extremely precious and rare triple enchantment weapon. They’re…”

Kang De said, “Sharpness, Flame, and… Bloodsucking?”

Ever since he awakened the superpower of extracting elements, everything in the world had changed in his eyes. However, the changes were different. For example, the short sword in his hand emitted a charming and resplendent light. If one looked carefully, the elements were arranged horizontally and vertically, forming a beautiful painting.

There were a total of three elemental patterns on this sword. It was probably the three enchantments that the knight spoke of.

One of them was red in color and burning like fire.

The other was sharp and cold, invincible.

In the last pattern, greedy life flowed.

The knight shook his head. “No, it’s the Divine Sharpness, the Flame Roar, and Life Absorption.”

The difference between the two was not as simple as the name.

Kang De nodded. “I see.”

He could tell at a glance why the enchantment on the short sword was called “Divine Sharpness”.

In the cave, he had done all kinds of experiments. He had extracted the sharp element of the blade and attached them to the cloth of the hilt. Therefore, the ordinary cloth had the cutting power of a blade—but his enchantment method was simple and crude, and he did not even have a technique. He only casually wiped the elements extracted.

The sharp enchantment on this short sword was a grand and perfect diagram. The elements formed an endless variety. Without even thinking, the increase in the lethality of this “Divine Sharpness” to swords must far surpass Kang De’s original enchantment. Compared to this elemental diagram, Kang De’s work was simply a child’s scribble.

The other two elements were also exquisite and impressive.

‘After they saw my enchantment last night, they laughed so hard. Are they mocking me because of this?’ Kang De thought to himself.

No, probably not.

He still remembered the regret and sorrow on the kangaroos’ faces. If it was only a difference in skill, it would not have made them like this… It should be an intrinsic difference.

Moreover…

Kang De carefully sized up the enchantment on the sword and the diagram formed by the three elements.

On Earth, he had enchanted the anesthesia watch. In terms of complexity, the composition of the elements on the anesthesia watch was far above these three enchantments. He asked himself if he could definitely replicate the composition of the anesthesia watch, because not only was the structure complicated, but there were also many elements.

However, this was different.

Although these three enchantment diagrams were breathtaking, they were not so complicated that he had no clue.

Moreover, the composition was relatively simple.

In other words…

“Collect the corresponding elements and draw this element diagram on another sword. Then, I can replicate the exact same enchantment effect…”

Kang De’s heart skipped a beat.

He looked up. “The enchantment you mentioned is the result of the alchemist you mentioned?”

The knight was stunned. This was common sense. However, if it was someone from Cathay, it was not strange that they did not know.

He said, “Yes… what’s wrong?”

Kang De asked, “How did they complete this job?”

This question was too complicated to explain in detail. The knight felt strange, but he still meticulously explained the main point, “An alchemist is a profession and honorific title. In element, it’s still a type of spellcaster. It’s only a direction of further study chosen according to one’s talent and interest.”

“On the continent, talented children will be chosen from a young age to undergo relevant talent induction and basic nurturing. They will also learn the basic mysterious knowledge step by step…”

He said, “If you want to ask how an alchemist completes an enchantment, my knowledge is limited and can’t provide the details. I can only say that this is similar to the process of copying scrolls. Engraving, branding, guiding, and completing the resonance and solidification of magic through magical beast blood, affinity materials, and other mediums.”

Although what he said was common sense and mysterious knowledge of the other world, Kang De barely understood the details.

This was thanks to the era of information explosion. Not only were there fantasy RPG games, but there were also f*cking Western fantasy novels and various cultural influences. This basic stuff could still be understood.

Yes, even in the era when Kang De transmigrated, the Western fantasy novel had already declined. The Eastern fantasy genre was on par with the urban superpower genre, but there were still reckless online authors who chose this theme for their so-called feelings and emotions. They wrote diligently and bitterly, waiting for the day when their readers shouted that it was really good.

It was really too touching.

“Beast blood, affinity materials, solidification and resonance of magic power…”

Kang De pondered, “I didn’t use any demonic beast blood or materials. I don’t know what magic is. I only extract an object and enchant the elements into another object… It seems that my enchantment method is completely different from the methods of the so-called alchemists.”

“Moreover, my method seems to be closer to the source than theirs.”

Specifically, it was the anesthesia watch that had been enchanted by a mysterious method. If you asked an alchemist master to replicate this work, he probably would not be able to do it even if he wanted to. No, it was not impossible, but he did not know how to do it at all.

Although Kang De could not do it either, he knew what to do. This was because the principle behind causing that watch to undergo a magical change was hidden in the extremely complicated element diagram. He could extract and use the elements.

Moreover, it was these three enchantments.

Kang De had never been taught anything regarding the supernatural. He did not undergo any spellcaster training. He did not have any spell foundation, nor did he have any materials or magic power. However, he only needed to extract the corresponding elements and replicate the same elemental diagram to create the exact same enchantment effect.

—Your enchantment technique is not bad. It’s mine now.

Kang De’s heart stirred.

He seemed to have opened another door—a door that could make him stronger.

At the very least, learning the three enchantment patterns on this short sword could increase his combat strength by another level. In the end, this was a problem with the utilization of elements.

Very good.

Today, he would study these three enchantments and think of a way to replicate and experiment.

The fire elements were the easiest to obtain, and the sharpness elements were not difficult to obtain. However, the third enchantment was bloodsucking…

Bloodsucking elements…

Kang De’s first thought was naturally the vampire.

How could there be a vampire in the wilderness?

Then, what contained the element of bloodsucking…

Mosquitoes.

Leeches.

Lice.

Bats.

Something like that.

Alright, usually speaking, most bats did not drink blood…

Mosquitoes.

Wait, he had just said…

“Cleveland… right?”

The knight said seriously, “Yes.”

Kang De organized his words. “There’s a small matter…”

The knight said, “Please speak. If it doesn’t violate my creed, I’m happy to help.”

“No, definitely not,” Kang De said. “You seemed to have been disturbed by mosquitoes last night. May I ask if you killed many mosquitoes…”

The knight said, “Yes, we used some magic potions to kill mosquitoes and also used traditional methods like flames and mosquito nets to trap and isolate them. Is there a problem?”

Kang De asked, “What did you do with the mosquito corpses?”

The knight frowned and said, “There was originally no need to deal with it, but there were many mosquitoes on the island. It looked a little disgusting. Now, there are not enough people. Before I left, the head maid was arranging for a few maidservants to collect the corpses of the mosquitoes and bring them to the distance to burn. The smell when they pounced into the fire and were burned to death… is a little disgusting.”

Kang De immediately said, “If possible, can you hand me the corpses of those mosquitoes?”

The knight hesitated for a moment. “Of course, but forgive me for being presumptuous, but what do you want to do with it?”

Of course, it was to extract the bloodsucking elements.

Kang De looked at the serious knight and could not help but joke, “I haven’t seen a mosquito in a long time. Do you know that our hometown has a delicacy called mosquito cake…”

The knight was horrified and even subconsciously took a step back.

“…I’m joking,” Kang De said gloomily. “What’s with that look? I don’t eat that kind of thing.”

—No, many books have records that you people of Cathay are extremely optimistic about the edible value of all living things and have extremely terrifying taste buds.

Although he thought so, this was only a small request.

The knight was naturally willing to make the mysterious Cathayan owe him a favor.

He sent his servant back. Soon, the servant ran back with a bag.

Kang De took it and opened it. There was a rustling sound as his trypophobia acted up.

He shifted his gaze away and reached in. His mental strength quietly spread out and extracted the elements. He chose the strongest ball and the red bloodthirstiness flowed into his body.

This feeling was indeed the bloodsucking element, which was identical to the third enchantment in the sword.

Very good, very good.

—If this is not enough, I can think of a way to get these people to help me catch some leeches and the like. I can use Earth’s resources to exchange for them. Although I did not know what they lack, pornographic materials are definitely sought after.

Bloodsucking elements… Bloodsucking weapons. Even in the games, it was a top-notch enchantment.

However, it seemed that it could only be attached to close-range weapons. If it was enchanted on the flying axe, how could it suck blood?

Wait!

In a flash, a bolt of lightning flashed through Kang De’s mind.

He thought of a glasses shop in the street shop outside the district.

Hmm…

He had a bold thought.

It was really bold.

Wasn’t this a little too absurd…
