Witcher: I Can Extract Everything - Chapter 317
Chapter 317 Bloodline
At this moment, the food preparation in the kitchen was almost finished. The prepared food was put into a big plate, and then the plate flew up naturally as if it was being dragged by a pair of invisible hands. It flew to a room next to it.
Heath followed it to that room. This was obviously the dining room. In the middle of the dining room was a wooden table, and the food that flew over was placed on this table.
The dishes were quite sumptuous. Roast suckling pig, roast turkey, big crab, caviar, beef stew, and so on. Dozens of dishes filled the entire table.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Heath finally knew where the demonized creatures that climbed onto the vines went.
Giant Wild Boar, Red-Tailed Flamingo, King Black Bull… These were obviously demonized creatures that lived in the forest on the island, and many of them were creatures that Heath had seen in the forest before.
They must have set up some kind of bait so that the demonized creatures in the forest would rush up one after another, and then they would slaughter them and send them into the kitchen as ingredients..
It was impossible for the Giant to only eat once every thirty years, and the arrangements here seemed to be long-term. If there were no other special arrangements to feed the Giant on a daily basis… Then they would have to pass through this magic array.
Pulling back his thoughts, Heath’s gaze swept over the dishes on the table.
‘Which dish should I put the potion into?’
There were dozens of dishes on the table, and they were all made by large demonized creatures. It was obviously impossible for the Giant to eat so many all in one meal.
There was only one bottle of magic potion. If the food was not eaten by the Giant, or if he did not eat enough, the opportunity would be missed.
‘Eh? That’s…’
At this moment, Heath suddenly saw a large wooden barrel on the table. It was a wine barrel, and there were a few wine stains on the side.
Although there was a lot of food on the table, there was only one wine barrel in the entire room.
Heath’s eyes lit up.
The Giant, Areos, had been recorded in more than one myth, and no matter which myth it was, there was a description of Areos’ drinking habits. He had heard from the Gehrus that the Giant liked to drink.
Should he put it in the wine?
Clang! Clang! Clang! While Heath was hesitating, suddenly, a heavy, rhythmic bell rang.
At the same time, the food on the table stopped. The forks were arranged next to the plates, and the candles on the table burned automatically with a bang. All of this meant that the Giant was coming to eat.
‘Forget it, let’s put it in the wine!’
Seeing this, Heath did not hesitate anymore and immediately climbed up along the corner of the table.
This table was dozens of meters high from the ground. If it was an ordinary person who could not use magic, climbing up would definitely not be easy. Even for a Grand Knight like Heath, it was not easy to climb up on the vertical corner of the table without a foothold. It took him some time to reach the table.
Without any time to waste, Heath hurriedly ran to the wine barrel and grabbed the wooden stopper that was more than a meter in diameter with both hands, pulling it out forcefully.
Pop! There was a light sound.
A strange wine fragrance overflowed from the wine barrel. It was different from the wine that Heath had drunk before. The smell was very strong, and it smelled like some kind of dairy product.
He lowered his head and looked into the wine barrel. What flowed inside was indeed milky white liquid, just like milk.
‘What is this? Milk wine?’
“This Giant’s taste is really unique…’
Before he had time to think carefully, he could already hear faint footsteps coming from outside.
Heath took out the potion bottle that he had taken out from his spatial equipment. He opened the cork and poured the liquid coefficient into the milk-like liquid, then forcefully stuffed the cork back in.
After doing all of this, Heath did not delay at all. He directly jumped down from the table. A height of tens of meters was nothing to him with his Grand Knight physique.
Kacha! With a sound, Heath landed on the ground. The huge impact left two shallow footprints on the ground. Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just as he returned to the ground, a series of muffled sounds came from outside. It did not sound like footsteps at all. Instead, it sounded like thunder-like explosions.
At the same time, the ground was also shaking. If there was a cup of water in front of him at this time, Heath could be sure that the water in the cup would have already spilled.
With a whoosh, Heath hurriedly hid in a corner of the table and hid himself.
‘Now I really look like a little mouse that came to the kitchen to steal food.’
After ridiculing in his heart, Heath looked out of the door without blinking.
The thunderous footsteps became more and more intense, and the shaking of the ground became more and more intense. Before long, the light outside dimmed, and a tall figure appeared at the entrance of the restaurant.
‘This height is really shocking…’
Previously, when the Giant was lying on the table, the feeling was not too intense. Now that the Giant had completely stood up, people could intuitively feel that he was huge, just like a tall mountain standing on the ground.
In fact, an average Giant was only seven to eight meters tall. Even the tallest and strongest Giant in the tribe could grow up to ten to twenty meters tall, he could even be called a ‘giant’ in the Giant tribe.
The reason why Areos was able to grow to such a height that even the Giants feared was mainly because of the Bloodline of the Gods in his body.
The Bloodline of the Gods was such a perverse thing that could greatly enhance the potential of living beings. The reason why the current Wizards were very concerned about bloodlines… Purebloods had an extraordinary status because of the Bloodline of the Gods in their bodies. The physiological structure of the Gods was special and there was no reproductive isolation. In addition, the personal lives of the Gods were more chaotic, which was why there were a large number of bloodlines in various places and races around the world. This was how the pure-blooded Wizards came about.
The potential of a pure-blooded person with the Bloodline of the Gods was stronger than that of an ordinary Wizard. This was also one of the main reasons why the resources of the Wizard World were tilted towards pure-blooded people.
Back to the main topic. After the Giant, Areos, came to the dining room, he sat down on a chair, picked up a knife and fork, and began to eat the food on the table.
It was not much different from what Heath had predicted. Areos did not eat every single food. Most of the food on the plate had only been eaten a little.
Heath could not help but secretly rejoice that he did not put the potion into the food. Otherwise, he would not have been able to let Areos drink all of it at this time. After eating for a while, very soon, Areos reached out to grab the wine barrel…
