Chapter 74: The Hunt at Night (I)
Luo Ning took advantage of Karen's efforts to put the medicinal herbs and retrieved the two magic puppets. But the head of the tomb seemed to have discovered some anomaly, saying that it was necessary to investigate clearly, and did not return to Luo Ning obediently. Luo Ning was about to ask carefully, but was interrupted by a slightly obscene voice.
"I don't see it, you young man looks honest on the outside, but inside he is a master of love! Hehe, this chick is really good, you kid is blessed in every sense!"
"Brush!" Luo Ning smiled awkwardly and shifted half a meter, quickly drew a line with a certain obscene boss, and walked to the alchemy table in the corner.
Virgen flowers, blood moss, shimmering mushrooms, blue butterfly wings, and bubble grass. Karen did a meticulous job, stacking the five main ingredients neatly into five parts, mixing the oak sap and bread branches used as auxiliary ingredients with clean water and carefully mashing them, and pouring them into the prepared flasks for later use.
Luo Ning was extremely ashamed when he saw this operation. Although Karen just said that she wanted to learn alchemy techniques from him, how could he Luo Ning have any skills to speak of? From the time he lit up the skill tree of "alchemy", Luo Ning always grabbed all the raw materials and stuffed them into the flask by feeling, and then shook it and it was over. He thought of his Fauvist alchemy style, and compared it to Karen's delicate operations, he felt that he was a hungry man who had completely lost his sense of taste, and he couldn't taste anything in alchemy.
But Karen apparently didn't know it, and was in a state of pink pleasure. She has very few friends and is very wary. So when Anthony forced her to go to the forge room, no one stopped her. If it weren't for Ronin's ghost to send God to Raphael, Anthony Hawk's performance was as stupid as a short-lived trick, and the consequences were really unimaginable.
Coupled with the fact that Karen passed the test safely with the enchanted wand that was almost given away for nothing, and kept the opportunity to practice magic at Morrowind Academy, the little girl's favorability towards Luo Ning was like a second kick on the ground, and she rushed to the top with a "boom", and there were many sweet expectations in her heart.
Karen heard Ronin's footsteps getting closer and closer, her heart beating faster and faster, and her mind was so full of thoughts that she almost couldn't even hold the flask.
"Is he looking at me?"
"It's good that I just washed my hair yesterday. ”
"It's a little unsightly. ”
"No, I need to calm down!"
Karen forcibly ordered herself to stay calm, but the defense line that she had easily built was instantly destroyed by Ronin's words.
"Huh, isn't it?
Ronin received a return from the head of the tomb and re-ordered her, then walked over to Karen after a moment of silence.
"That...... Miss Karen, can you take the liberty of asking?"
Karen slammed into a slap and whispered, "When... Of course. Please... Please!"
She turned slightly to prevent Ronin from seeing the crimson on her face.
"May I ask where your family lives, far from the seventh block?"
"Ahh At this time, the ingredients in the flask were suddenly out of proportion, and black smoke with a burnt smell came out.
"The first... Fifth block, just across from the seventh block. Karen's head drooped lower and lower, almost to her chest.
"So close?" Luo Ning didn't notice the girl's abnormality, but dodged the flask in Karen's hand, and said as he tinkered, "I don't have time to explain more." The sixth and seventh blocks are not safe now, so let's take a detour to the fourth block road tonight!"
"Ah?!" Karen lowered her head, not noticing that the medicinal herbs she had saved up to buy were being processed by Luo Ning in a "I think I can do it" method. She clutched her chest, only to feel her heart beating faster and faster, as if it would burst out of her chest in the next second.
"It's... It's too fast, isn't it? Oh, what the hell was I thinking! But Mr. Ronin asked me where I lived, and he wanted to accompany me... The two of them together..."Karen's face was as red as a ripe pomegranate, and her mind was full of wonderful delusions.
"Well, I... I'm all... It's all up to you!" met the boy for the first time, Karen changed her usual indifference and vigilance, and even forgot how to refuse. She was too shy to say that, and she just wanted to do something to distract herself.
Karen forgot that the flask had been taken away by Luo Ning, and wanted to reach out to the alchemy table to get the materials to refine the potion, but naturally she felt empty.
"Hey, where's my herb?" Karen was shocked, and her head cleared up a lot.
"There's no time, I've already put away the rest of the potions. Let's go. ”
"Huh?" Karen, a little confused. Although the healing potion was easy to make, it would take two or three hours to add up to ten bottles, so she was ready to stay until late at night. At this time, I suddenly heard Luo Ning say that it was done, and I thought that the other party was joking.
She looked down and saw that ten bottles of potions glowing with pale golden light were lying quietly on the alchemy table. Ronin, on the other hand, put them in his pocket with neat movements.
"Don't be stunned, let's go quickly!" Luo Ning didn't explain, as soon as he pulled up Karen, he rushed out the door, passing by the counter and not forgetting to throw a bag of gold coins to the boss.
The shopkeeper was completely stunned by Luo Ning's skillful operation, and felt that he needed to revise his evaluation of Luo Ning. After a while, he dragged the girl to someone's house! This is a veteran of flowers, and it is clearly a master of flirting with girls!
Of course, Luo Ning didn't mean to flirt with the girl at all, he simply knew that the situation was dangerous, so he had to send Karen home first, and then deal with the psoriasis that stuck up. Just now, the head of the ancient tomb violated Luo Ning's order. He should have been angry, but after learning about the outside world, he forgave her.
It turned out that it wasn't that the head of the tomb had something wrong and wanted to leave, but that she had found a lot of people who were a threat to her.
"Seven mages, twelve warriors, two assassins, four rangers with bows and swords, and two men with black books. They were located between the fifth and seventh blocks, and were moving closer to the director. The strength of these people is not worse than that of the master, and there are many people, and the monk and I are not opponents. ”
This is the information that the head of the tomb has just sent back, and it is also the reason why Luo Ning forced Karen to leave. Thinking of the three weak chickens before, Luo Ning had a hunch: Nine out of ten of the other party came at him. In that case, Karen may be in danger too. Although he is not a hero, he doesn't want this girl to be implicated by himself.
"Ronin, you run slower!I, my hand hurts a little!" Karen's face was full of shame, and her wrist was imprinted by the anxious Ronin.
Ronin didn't seem to notice Karen's discomfort, instead turning his gaze into the air and finding the head of the tomb on top of a bell tower to the northwest.
"Master, those people are only three streets away from you. You go forward through two intersections, and then turn left! Monk, you see the right time to come out and cut off the master!"
"No!" Although it was not clear why the head of the tomb had suddenly become so powerful, Luo Ning still trusted her. Pull Karen into the alley that the puppet is pointing to. He looked out, and in the dim twilight, he saw three or five warriors passing by the alley around the famous mage, running in the direction of the medicine store.
"Hold this!" Ronin shoved a scroll into Karen's hand.
"What is this?!" Karen was confused, but she was still slightly surprised.
"Blinding scroll! There's only one of these things! When you're in danger, you pull open the scroll and buy some time to escape!"
