Chapter 292: Medea's Tears
Vanessa thought it was a miracle that the Magician's chamber was full of objects, and that he could still find something out of it. Books were piled high on tables and chairs, rows of bottles and cans were displayed on shelves, furniture was covered with burnt candles and dried wax droplets, a mil bronze mirror tube sat on a tripod by the balcony door, astrological charts hung on the walls, maps were scattered on straw mats, paper, quill pens and inkwells were everywhere, and many things were stained with the droppings of ravens between the beams of the houses.
Trent looked older and shorter than he had last been in distress in Eucalyptus, and there was no doubt that he was a mountain dwarf.
"Poison? Hmph, you're starting to want to hurt people? The old man's bad temper was even greater, and he was annoyed that his academic studies had been interrupted, and with a snap of his fingers, the door of a room belonging to poison was opened.
The number of medicines for the bachelor is staggering: dozens of wax-sealed jars, more than 100 plugged vials, the same number of white glass bottles, countless jars of dried herbs, each with precise labels on it. It seems that even if a person is sloppy, he will be stern in the face of something that can take people's lives. Indeed, once you understand the basis of classification, you will see that each drug is placed just right. Something really funny: sweet sleeping flowers and nightshades, poppy milk, red robe light, gray mushroom powder, aconite grass and ghost dance grass, lizard poison, blind poison, widow's blood...... It's really everything.
"I don't want poison," Vanessa said after a round trip, not forgetting to take a few things with her, "I want an antidote to a poison that will make the enemy happy." ”
"Wait, you mean, Brant was caught in Medea's Tears?" The magician finally lifted his eyes from the thick pile of paper.
"Medea's tears? Sounds apt. Vanessa nodded, the legendary Medea in order to marry the hero Iason, it can be said that she broke the kettle, not only betrayed her father, but also murdered her own brother, but when her husband ascended the throne, he wanted to kick her away, Medea was desperate, and she was desperate, so she concocted a poison with her own hands, and some versions say that she soaked her new clothes with this poison and put it on Iason's new wife, and the poor woman was dissolved alive by the poison; Vanessa's version of what she heard was that Medea dripped her tears into the pot, and then offered the potion to a couple, and after the two drank it, they turned to kill each other until they both died.
Vanessa shuddered, "Does that mean anything?" ”
"Ancient legends, revenge, the curse of a vicious woman, ha, who has this kid offended?" Trent jumped off the table and rummaged through his pharmacy. "That thing isn't a magical creation, no wonder your brother can't block it."
"Please don't call that person 'my brother.'" Vanessa looked away in annoyance, she still had trouble accepting the fact.
The old magician raised his hands in the air, "Okay, well, I mean, this poison is colorless and tasteless, and the poisoner will not react at first, but with the obsession and the single-mindedness of other things, he will completely forget about his lover, and when the obsession reaches the violent level, he will transfer all his anger to his lover and eventually kill him." You're a clever girl, and you were right to leave him. ”
"Why did I leave him," Vanessa almost turned her back on her, "I'm going to save him!" ”
"Save? Not saved," the old man's head shook like an iron rooster in a storm, "unless one of you dies." ”
"Then hurry up and develop an antidote for me, I don't want us to love and kill each other!"
The old magician walked past the princess with a glittering thing in his hand, covered in land, "Then what do you think I'm doing?" Looking for fleas? Well, this sparkle will bring him back to his senses for a short time when he murders you the next time, but whether or not he can resist the medicinal properties of Medea's Tears is up to him," the old man winked at the princess, "and it depends on how much he loves you." ”
"This slippery old pervert deserves to be beaten for the rest of his life!" As she emerges from the Wizard's Chamber, Vanessa mutters as she walks with the only flare in the world that can awaken Brant. But in fact, meeting the magician Trent again was the most relaxing thing in the last few days, and Vanessa knew that this kind old man would help him at any time, because he also hoped that he could end the division and war on the continent, but he never gave a good face.
From the magician, Vanessa also received an important piece of information, Medea's tears have not been passed down much, from the original evil witch to the hands of the rulers, they often use this poison to harm their rivals in the political situation, it is rare nowadays, but it is not surprising if it appears on the table of a certain country's palace, which further confirms the princess's suspicion, Prince Terrence, who is carried away by jealousy, will definitely use this alternative magic to eliminate his rivals.
However, speculation is speculation, after all, he has no real evidence, and it is impossible to drag Brant to confront the prince. But when the prince came to his senses, Vanessa patted the sparkle in her pocket, as long as it could keep Brant awake for a minute, she would have a way to make him write down the transfer magic, and then the unlucky guy who had poisoned him would be eaten by his own poison, which was called self-defeating.
The metallic glow moved in the backpack, colliding with other stolen objects with a tinkling sound, and Vanessa stuck her tongue out at Trent's magical chamber and spun away.
