Chapter XXVII
The anomaly that happened in the alchemy hut was finally discovered by De Ligt.
When Carlos, covered in black and somewhat sluggish, was moved to the bed in the utility room by Cook the Orc, De Ligt rolled out the window into the room.
Looking at Carlos's grinning and naΓ―ve appearance, where is the shrewd appearance of the young master of the noble family who is full of spirits on weekdays.
"Donkey trough, my brother has become a fool?"
"I don't know. β
De Ligt pulled his sword out from behind him, looked at the orc Cook coldly, and gritted his teeth, "What did you do to my brother?"
Vivien arrived just in time to explain what had happened over and over again.
Regarding the existence of these alien strangers living in the alchemy hut, Carlos mentioned in his letter to his father Maury, De Ligt was not surprised, but looking at Carlos unconscious at the moment, he couldn't believe the words of the elven clan in front of him.
"You mean it's all caused by the witch, and she's Du Buyi's granddaughter?" De Ligt's eyes flickered.
Vivien nodded and shook her head, "The demon took the initiative to find her, and after signing the contract with the witch, she has been hiding it all the time, and the witch may not have any ill will towards Carlos." β
De Ligt was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "If Carlos becomes a fool, you will stay and serve him for the rest of your life, and no one will want to leave." β
De Ligt left this sentence and hurried away, this was the territory of the old alchemist Du Buyi, and he kept the last of his senses and hurried back to inform Maury of the matter.
Vivien sighed, looking at Carlos's brother's crazy eyes, she dared to guarantee that if it weren't for Du Buyi outside the door, this swordsman would really not hesitate to draw his sword first.
Maclean's situation is not very good, he was born to take a blow from Enzo, and it is too natural to say that it is okay, the gap between a low-level knight and a commander-level demon is significant, and the dwarf Maclean's injury is once again recuperated behind closed doors.
Vivien closed the door and left with Cook the Orc.
Carlos is left in a coma in the house, his current situation is actually not too bad, Du Buyi just said that the dark qi absorbed is too much and too miscellaneous, and the dwarf light knight can't purify too much, no one can help him now, he needs to rely on Carlos's own body to digest.
It's best not to disturb him at this time, everyone has never had the experience of devouring the dark qi, and it is superfluous to worry too much.
However, Carlos appeared to be unconscious on the surface, but in fact he was empty inside, and he had never been so awake now.
Feel the process of the dark energy constantly swimming in the body, if you observe the ants moving on a rainy day, it will be orderly in the panic.
The little young master of the Stevenson family suddenly became a fool, which was a big deal for the Stevenson family, although the old mayor Morry was a little suspicious and not very convinced, he still rushed to Du Buyi's alchemy hut with people in a hurry.
If Carlos had any accidents, the Stevenson family would have collapsed.
It turned out that Mori, who already knew the destiny of heaven, couldn't help but show an anxious look on the way.
The mayor of the town, who is quite kind on weekdays, did not have a good temper in the past when he experienced a traffic jam when passing through the long street in the town.
A dozen or so night watchmen on inferior horses, armed with handcuffs and long swords, pushed the flow of people into the water like landlubbers into the water, and pushed them to both sides, making way for the avenue in the middle of the road.
In the small town of Yanjing, the Stevenson family has always operated with a harmonious atmosphere, and in the face of the good reputation we have accumulated, this occasionally arrogant little thing is like a pebble thrown into the sea, which is quickly forgotten.
Even if some were stunned or unacceptable, they did not dare to show it, because a bounty hunter was drunken in the middle of the road and tried to play a drunken man's madness with the strength of the wine, and was jumped from the carriage by an angry mayor, and the result was given with a sword.
The residents of Yanjing Town all say that the mayor here has a good temper, but it doesn't mean that the people below him are also good-tempered.
Some people who couldn't turn their brains for a moment immediately woke up to the fact that this was the only hereditary noble lord in East Cyprus.
According to the harshness of the imperial power of the aristocracy, it is self-evident what hereditary means.
That's what people do!
If you really know that you are afraid, you are often extra sharp in acting.
One by one, the landlubbers suddenly jumped into the river with their legs and feet, and made way for the noble lord, for fear that they would be the last and be killed by the sword of the coachman who did not know where the anger came from.
When Stevenson's carriage surrounded the Alchemy Lodge, Mayor Maury Stevenson stepped out of the carriage.
The old alchemist Du Buyi stood at the door, looked at the night watchmen around him and said, "You can't trust me?"
Mo Li glanced at Du Buyi lightly, looked up through the window and looked at a few pairs of eyes peeking behind the curtains in the house, and said expressionlessly: "On the contrary, the fact that your granddaughter is a witch has not been mentioned to me, it seems that you don't believe me first." β
Du Buyi's old face was slightly red, but some blackened faces quickly concealed the embarrassment on his face.
Murray added, "Carlos, how is it now?"
Du Buyi led the Stevenson father and son into the house, while Grant and the Night Watchman stayed outside the house vigilantly, continuing to surround the hut, as long as the witch, the culprit who killed Master Carlos, tried to escape, their guys would not hesitate to greet her.
Even if she is Du Buyi's granddaughter, absconding in fear of crime is enough reason to execute her.
Du Buyi always had dark circles on his eyes, so he sighed and whispered to Mori: "Carlos shouldn't be fine for the time being, but I'm afraid the secret of the double bloodline can't be hidden." β
Maury nodded calmly on the surface, but the script to continue moving forward was obviously slightly sluggish.
"Is it the bloodline stimulated by an external force?"
"To be honest, the demon who is eyeing Carlos is something he seems to have known before, and this matter should be something you didn't handle before.
An undead demon clan induced the layer of bloodline on Carlos's body, a commander-level demon, half of the dark power was drained in a short period of effort, such a bloodline is too evil and rebellious. β
Du Buyi didn't speak quickly, but he basically said almost everything that Morry wanted to know.
Morry said, "Is it a commander-level demon? That should have happened in the Rotten Wood Forest some time ago.
He had his neck broken by the puppet Huiyao himself, and I saw with my own eyes that the undead were so tenacious, it seemed that everything had to be paid attention to small things.
But I heard that the demon made a pact with your good granddaughter?"
"Jokely, the demons are dead, and the contract is useless. β
Mo Li was just about to step up the stairs when he paused, stopped and looked at Du Buyi and said, "Contract Demon Clan, this is a capital crime!"
Du Buyi nodded and did not speak.
"I heard that the witch contract seems to be related to the breath, the breath of the demon is now in Carlos's body. β
Du Buyi glared, "What do you want to do?"
A hint of cunning flashed in the depths of Maury's eyes, but there was no fluctuation on his face.
"Some people hate witches or wizards, but I don't have any prejudice against them, even though they always like to trouble me, but that's because they don't know each other.
Now is such an opportunity, I heard that your little girl's mother is very famous in the witch world, let her daughter and my family Carlos continue to maintain the contractual relationship, so that the wizarding world can understand us, and not harass us, and it is too late to break the contract.
Keeping a contract with Carlos would also be good for her, at least she would be forgiven for her contract with the demons. β
