After listening to Thor's words, Shogues could no longer calm down, and roared at Thor with angry eyes.

"Damn shit, you're looking for death! What the hell did you give me?"

Compared to Saul's many nicknames like 'the illegitimate son of a prostitute', Hughes's abuse at the moment is really painless.

Silently watching the other party jump up and down like a monkey for a long time, Thor shrugged his shoulders.

"A new gadget obtained by mixing the ashes of the burnt ayahuasca with the feces of sleepy bats and adding a certain percentage of the sap of the Cipher flower. Oh, to be exact, this thing doesn't have a name yet, and I'm going to name it 'Goddess's Regret'. But that sounds too flamboyant, maybe I should change to another one?"

Thor was talking to himself with his head down, as if he had forgotten the existence of Shogues, and was lost in the thought of choosing a name.

Shogues's mouth was slightly open, the expression on his face was uncertain, and he vaguely felt that Thor was scaring him.

It is true that a seasoned assassin can use poison to make it invisible, but how can a waste like Thor have such clever means?

Thinking back to the previous cooking process, Shogus didn't find any suspicious links, and the fish soup was also eaten by Thor first, but at this moment, he was a little unsure about the other party's troubled appearance, after all, it was related to his own life.

The anger burned in his face and was extinguished a few times before Hughgoth asked tentatively:

"The kind of thing you said...... What is the effect?"

As if some of his quirky interests had finally gained the attention of others, Thor suddenly raised his head after being interrupted from thinking, his tone full of excitement.

"You're going to have diarrhea for the next three days, and of course, it's just a small warm-up. ”

"After three days, you'll feel dizzy, weak, and exhausted. Then you'll hear your heart beat faster and your vision drift and ghost. Eventually you will see yourself melt into the darkness without pain, and then there will be no more. ”

"To be exact, it takes more than three days for this gadget to really kick in, which means you still have a chance. ”

"As long as you come to me every three days to take the Delay Potion on time, and repeat this process repeatedly, the toxicity in your body will be neutralized and dissipated after a few months, without any sequelae, and you will still be able to continue your promising profession as a thief. ”

Saul said a lot in one breath, his eyes shining and fanatical, and finally he even sighed at Shogues:

"Don't you think that's the most wonderful and great thing about this poison, that it can go with time, and at the same time make life go between life and death!"

Looking at Thor's excited face, infected by his own tone, Shogues quickly killed him hundreds of times in his heart.

For some poisons, Shogues is involved.

Although poison is technically the domain of assassins, high-end thieves are also adept at using poison-quenching daggers, and the identification and use of most common poisons is only a basic discipline in the thief profession.

Poisons that control the timing of attacks?

Originally, Huggers didn't believe Saul's nonsense, because he had never heard of such nonsense. But with so many monsters running around in the Dark Wilderness, life as worthless as weeds, who could guarantee that something would happen to this damn world.

What's more, the way Saul narrates at this moment makes Shogues feel that he is already a little abnormal, looking like a madman who is too paranoid in some field is expounding his new invention.

After a moment of silence, Shogues returned to the stump and sat down.

After picking a small cluster from the pile of dark golden powder with the tip of his dagger and carefully approaching it, he suddenly looked up at Thor and smiled.

"Yes, this is indeed the light of corruption, and your performance is so good that you almost fooled me. ”

"It's a pity, I'm sure that as the only apothecary in Grey Curtain Town, that treacherous, miserly old bastard of Buddy Moore won't teach anyone the slightest thing about kissing his ass. ”

"So you don't really know anything about pharmacy at all, am I right?"

As he spoke, Xiugus stared at Thor's expression, hoping to find any slight flaws in the other party's face.

In the face of Shogues's questioning, Thor smiled disdainfully and waved his hand casually in the air.

"Poor boy, you can't be sure of anything. Believe me, I've forgotten more than most people know. ”

Saul's unascertainable attitude made Shogues's temptation fruitless, and in the flickering candlelight, his face became cloudy again.

In fact, Shogues's guess was correct, and he didn't even count as an introduction to pharmacy.

Once, Thor stumbled upon the apothecary old Buddy Moore hiding the packet of Corrupt Light in the mezzanine of the counter, and he didn't know who to send to his ancestors.

The reason why he brought it back by the way when he was looking for food in the North End today was just a preparation for his possible revenge in the future, and the hapless Xiugus just happened to bump into it.

For the unexpected arrival of Xiugus today, killing the other party or letting him go may cause trouble, not to mention that he may not have that strength.

So Saul improvised a story to solve the problem and at the same time control a person like Xiugues, who could come and go freely in the town, and learn about the outside world through him.

From the moment Thor chose to boil fish instead of grilling it, his plan began.

The clay pot that was pushed to Shogues when he was dividing the fish was used by Thor not long ago to hold the juice of some kind of thorny thorn grinding in the cemetery, and Thor himself confirmed with his life that it was a powerful laxative during the starvation period, and I believe that Shogus would be no exception in the next few days.

This is the premise of the continuation of the whole project, and it is also the most crucial part of the story, but fortunately, the arrogance of Schugues makes him ignore these details.

As for Saul's description of the gradual transition from weakness to death, it is actually only a sequelae of deep hunger, and Shogues, who has never been bothered by hunger, has obviously not experienced it.

With the above premise, coupled with the real light of corruption in this package, this also reminds the other party from the side that he did have a chance to kill him before. With all this foreshadowing, Hughers can only choose to believe in the end.

Thor once read a quote in a book that true heroes never joke with their lives.

Naturally, Shogues is not a hero, but he must be afraid of death, after all, he doesn't have much courage to squander it at this age.

So Thor didn't worry about the end of the scam, and he had already lost by the time Hughgos brought the fish soup because he couldn't afford to gamble.

Anger, suspicion, panic, there were too many emotions in Xiugues's heart for a while, but none of them were as sharp as the threat to his life.

Raising his hand and wiping it a few times on his face, Huggers struggled to piece together a fierce expression and said:

"I need a one-time antidote, hand it over immediately, and I make a vow in the name of the Lord God of Darkness that I can spare you. ”

Thor's face slowly turned cold, as if he had never smiled before.

"You broke into my house uninvited, and you were rude, and even so I generously entertained you a good meal, and at the end you barked at me like a fool?"

"Leave me alone? It seems that you haven't figured out the situation yet. ”

As he spoke, Thor had slowly stood up, the rusty dagger in his hand pointed at Shogues, apparently a prelude to a declaration of war.

Xiugues knew very well that Thor suddenly dared to lift the table at this moment because of any bravery, if it was in the past, he would have pounced on it and twisted the other party's neck a few times, but unfortunately now that the advantages of each other have tilted, he can only silently endure Thor 's provocation.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

After being aggrieved for a long time, Xiugus gritted his teeth and burst out with this sentence.

The thought of his life in the hands of a small character who is not usually seen, and this gap from hunter to prey in the blink of an eye, made him feel as disgusting as swallowing a swarm of scavenging flies.

Thor casually threw the piece of rusty iron in his hand into the corner, stepped forward and grabbed one of Shogues' daggers for himself, and then stepped on the stump of the tree and looked down at Shogues who was sitting down condescendingly.

"Number one, a little person like me doesn't want to alarm anyone, so remember, you've never seen me. ”

"Second, in the future, I will join your blackmail game, you are responsible for finding the target, the action plan will be formulated by me, and the final benefits will be distributed by me!"

"Third, I need a certain amount of candles, salt, and food that can sit for a long time. ”

As soon as Saul's words fell, Shoggers immediately retorted:

"That's impossible, our guild has a tight watch over food. ”

A playful smile appeared on Thor's face, and the dagger was pulled into a knife flower, and he was lightly tossed in his hand, as if he were a real thief at this moment.

"Death is already at your side, and if you still don't believe it, you can wait fearlessly for the wheel of fate to turn. ”

"For the sake of being a fellow of the monastery, I promise to reserve a spacious tomb for you and tie a cross for you with my own hands. Believe me, no one in the entire territory under Lord Savyn can save you but me. ”

"In the evening of three days, I will wait here for your results. ”

At the end, Saul patted Hughes on the shoulder, then leaned closer to the other and whispered in his ear:

"Life is always priceless, it's all about what you're willing to give to perpetuate it. ”

——————

Back at the cemetery, the torrential rain on the ground had stopped, and the air was filled with the coolness of late autumn.

A wandering skeleton walked aimlessly past Shogues, and he suddenly kicked the other man into broken bones all over the ground.

The darkness still stretched as far as it could, like a nightmare that could not be woken up.

Shogues exhaled sullenly and disappeared into it.
