Chapter 190: Mushrooms and Fish
Looking at the bay belly window reflecting the glow of the gas wall lamp, the hooded and masked Alger was about to ask about the details of the operation, when suddenly he saw a shadow grow out of the thick darkness next to him, turning into a tall, thin, pale and sickly young man.
"The Bloodless", Heath Doyle...... Alger quickly recognized this as the second mate of Future.
Hiss didn't look at him, and said directly to the "star general" Gardelia:
"Captain, they didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, and made the mushrooms into a creamy soup, and prepared the pan-fried fish as the staple of the evening. ”
"Good. Gadelia took off the heavy glasses on the bridge of her nose and looked at the dining room of the house with mysterious purple eyes.
Heath Doyle didn't say a word, his figure instantly darkened, and he returned to the shadows, where he disappeared.
After listening to the conversation between the two, combined with what the "Hermit" lady said before, "The Hanged Man" Alger probably understood what the core elements of tonight's operation were:
Mushroom!
Poisonous mushrooms!
Although it is not known what the "Star General" used to invalidate the spiritual intuition of the extraordinary beings within, unable to distinguish between normal mushrooms and highly poisonous mushrooms, Alger believes that in the occult, it is not impossible.
He hesitated and said:
"Will this lead to the death of 'The Craftsman' Charf?"
Wild "craftsmen" are quite rare, and Alger does not want to lose such a "friend" while there is still room for manoeuvre, and the ideal solution for him is to imprison this guy and make him the exclusive "craftsman" of himself and the "hermit".
"No, it won't. Gadelia shook her head calmly and explained casually, "Whether it is the information you have given or the details of what my crew has observed, it is mentioned that Scharf does not like to eat fish, and even hates it very much, which may have something to do with the fact that he was stuck in the throat by a fish bone when he was a child. ”
It was based on this incident that Gardelia finally chose the "mushroom tactic", which can effectively disintegrate the enemy's living force and minimize the risk to her side.
- The kind of mushroom that can devour flesh and blood in the dark environment to breed is excluded by the "Star General" at the beginning, because it allows the extraordinary person with keen inspiration to directly perceive the anomaly, just like facing highly poisonous things, in addition, the extraordinary person who believes in the "primordial moon" is likely to have a fairly deep understanding of herbs, plants, and fruits, and should be able to identify too dangerous mushrooms just by sight.
If you want to hide from them, you can only do it if the food itself is harmless, and it can be mutated by touching other things.
At this point, the kind of mushroom that Frank created before is just right!
If you don't get the two conditions of fish and water right, that kind of mushroom is a normal mushroom, which will neither poison people nor cause diarrhea, but will be digested little by little, broken down into different components, and finally excreted from the body - at this point, there is no fish and water, and it is useless.
To this end, Gadelia had Frank redo the experiment that had been abandoned for the time being, obtained a batch of mushrooms, and promised to hunt down a "Bishop of the Rose" of the Aurora Society to him in the future.
"I hate eating fish......," Alger whispered, feeling that he could once again keep up with the "hermit's" train of thought.
He obviously asked if the poisonous mushroom would cause the death of the "craftsman" Sharf, but the other party replied that the "craftsman" would not die because he didn't like to eat fish, and even hated it very much.
Is there any necessary connection?" Alger muttered to himself, not asking.
He remained silent, deciding to wait and watch more.
After a while, there was a sudden scream from the house, accompanied by a series of snorts and vomiting.
"Action. Gardelia gave the order unusually succinctly.
Her figure instantly became transparent, like a statue formed by the convergence of countless stars.
The statue shattered, and the bright starlight surged little by little, and Huo Ran came to the door of the house and got into it through the crack.
Pieces of stars reunite inside, and Gardelia's figure is revealed.
Then, she heard the whining of the wind and the thudging of the thud.
The door frame swayed, the door opened, and the hooded and masked "Hanged Man" Alger entered the target building no slower than the "Admiral of the Stars".
He swept his gaze and quickly took the situation of the restaurant's location into his eyes:
"The Craftsman" Charff recoiled in horror, away from the long table;
On the ground were two men and a woman, vomiting mushrooms, their chests and abdomen, their clothes had torn apart, and mushrooms had grown.
Sensing that someone was coming in, these people subconsciously raised their heads, and the white mycelium on their faces was already exposed, one after another.
Alger's mask-covered face twitched involuntarily.
Although he is experienced and knowledgeable, and he is not the kind of extraordinary person who has never seen horror scenes, such images still give him a strong visual and spiritual impact.
"Admiral of the Stars" Gardelia expected it, but she didn't expect it to be so terrifying, so she was stunned for a moment before pinching her mouth with her right hand and whistling.
Illusory ropes emerged from the ground, coiling like snakes to bind the three Primordial Moon believers.
"Is there a way to stop?" said Gardelia as she tilted her head to the shadow in the corner.
After a moment of silence, Heath Doyle's voice came from there:
Frank said he hadn't figured out how to stop it, so he had to be cremated. ”
Cremate...... Gardelia's eyebrows moved slightly, and she immediately took a handful of powder from her pocket and threw it away.
The powder seemed to have a life force of its own, falling precisely on the three Primordial Moon believers and the various mushrooms.
Silently, crimson flames rose up, silently burning everything they touched.
"Craftsman" Sharf was frightened when he witnessed the mutation, and after someone broke in, he wanted to rely on a magical object to resist, but he quickly recognized the person as the "Star General" Gardelia, so he gave up his reason and stood decisively in place and waited.
He asked himself that he still had a high use value, no matter where he went, he would not be killed directly, and the "star general" had always had no notoriety.
The worst-case scenario is to join the Star Pirates...... Moreover, the pirate admiral himself is better looking than the portrait on the wanted warrant, with a completely different temperament...... Sharf tugged at the wolftooth necklace and put on a flattering smile, waiting for the intruder to tell him what he was doing.
Gadelia glanced at him and carefully examined his appearance, only to be sure that he was a typical Intis, and did not see any resemblance to the queen.
The pirate general pondered and said:
"I was introduced to you by a friend to make magical items, but it turned out that you were walking with the followers of the Primordial Moon.
"The strength of the three of them is not strong, and they can't restrict you at all, why do you still want to stay here?"
One of the main imaginary enemies of Gadelia's operation this time is actually the "craftsman" himself, because he can't kill him or control him, and he has a lot of well-matched magical items, which is definitely a strong enemy, but as a result, I didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
Shire sneered:
"They were the first to have strong men in Byam, and through the scent and powder of a certain flower, I contracted a strange disease and became weaker. ”
Gardelia looked at it casually:
"Now that you're healthy, why don't you find a chance to escape?"
Alger watched quietly from the side, not speaking, lest he be betrayed by his voice.
"The craftsman" Charff laughed dryly and said:
"During the period of control by them, they told me that as long as I believed in the 'primordial moon', I could cure my stubborn illness through certain rituals, I didn't resist the temptation, I tried it, and the result was really successful, and I regained the feeling of being a man......"
Speaking of this, he stopped abruptly, realizing that he had said too much and exposed his hidden disease.
Is this too indulgent on the part of women, gradually losing their abilities?, Alger muttered to himself.
Sharf looked up at the two opposites, and when he saw that no one laughed loudly, he coughed lightly and continued:
"It wasn't on drugs, it was really back to the way I was when I was younger, and after that, I dreamed twice of the moon that looked bloody and seductive.
"I think I must have indeed become a believer in the Primordial Moon, so I didn't dare to run away. ”
Gadelia and Alger silently made eye contact, and at the same time sentenced the "craftsman" to death in their hearts:
As long as a person really believes in evil gods and demons or some hidden existences, unless he is willing to go on like this forever and slowly become fanatical, even if he repents and is protected by the official forces, he will not have a problem for a long time, and he may be silently strangled to death in his sleep after a few years!
This is almost impossible to save unless you are eligible for the blessings of earthly angels at the level of the pope of the major churches, or accept the isolation of some seals and live forever underground.
Of course, in similar situations, there are many people who have done nothing and still live to die in old age and normal, but most of them are ordinary people, who are easily ignored by evil gods, demons, and hidden beings, and Sharf is a very useful "craftsman".
Gadelia no longer mentions the matter of the believers of the "Primordial Moon", for her, it is not too big a question whether the "craftsman" believes in evil gods, as long as she can communicate, make deals, and go crazy from time to time, she can cooperate, and other things are not something that a pirate needs to worry about.
She turned to say:
"What amazing items do you have now? I'll pick some of them and leave a few for you. ”
For such a development, the "craftsman" Sharf was not surprised at all, the other party was a pirate, not a policeman, it was normal to grab a handful, and he felt that he should sincerely thank him if he could leave a few pieces.
In fact, with his level and items, he might really be able to successfully escape, but he didn't have the courage.
"Okay. Sharf first took out a pair of gray-and-white glasses from his breast pocket, "Gargoyle glasses, as long as there is a touch of gaze, it can make the other party paralyzed, as if they are petrified, there are two negative effects, one is that if you wear it and look in the mirror, you will also be paralyzed, and the other is that the body becomes heavy and the movement is not agile enough." ”
Isn't that the item I ordered...... It turns out that it has been successfully made...... Looking at Alger, who was a "craftsman", his eyes couldn't help but narrow.
