Chapter 250: Carter's Fear
In the Gauss family, except for the patriarch Rich Gauss, who was a fifth-level apothecary, there was only Old Man Lola, the only fourth-level apothecary. It can be said that in the Gauss family, the identity of the old man Lola is one of the four elders of the family, and the dignity of the identity is only below the patriarch.
However, in this branch of the Gauss Chamber of Commerce, everyone knew that there was such a Director of Lola, but most of them did not know the identity of the fourth-level pharmacist and family elder of this Director of Lola. Everyone only knows that the old man Lola, the director of this branch, is a guy who can't see the head and the tail. Almost most of the time, no one in the branch could see the figure of the director of Lola. Therefore, even in the eyes of most people in this branch, Old Man Lola is still full of mystery.
Of course, only the two cronies and assistants of Old Man Lola, or his pharmacy apprentice, knew that the fourth-level pharmacist spent most of his time hiding in the underground pharmacy of the branch and studying potions.
Today, Old Man Lola happened to encounter some difficult problems in the research of a new potion, so he had to temporarily come out of the exclusive pharmacy underground to relax, but he happened to run into a visit from Han Feng and Ali. Out of curiosity about the waste young master, the old man Laura, the branch director who hardly takes care of things on weekdays, personally came forward to receive him.
When Old Man Lola first arrived outside the door of the VIP room, he happened to see Han Feng staring deeply at the three bottles of magic potions in the display case.
At that time, the old man Lola didn't have the slightest intention of being dizzy, but he was very old and sophisticated, and he was very keen to capture several feelings contained in Han Feng's gaze - it seemed to be a look of curiosity, doubt and regret, and even a little disdain?
Old man Laura wasn't sure if the meaning of the look in Han Feng's gaze he had captured at that moment was accurate, but undoubtedly, his curiosity about the most famous waste young master in the Lance family was even stronger.
After entering the VIP room, he sat down close to Han Feng and Ali, and in the conversation with them, Old Man Lola discovered something that made him even more curious and puzzled - that is, a faint and special medicinal fragrance from Han Feng and Ali's bodies from time to time...... Well, it seems to smell a bit of an elixir...... It is also mixed with the fragrance of some herbs......
As a fourth-level pharmacist, Old Man Lola has been dealing with herbs and potions for most of his life, and he is naturally very sensitive to the smell of medicine. He thought that he had absolutely no mistake in induction, and this Han Feng and Ali were indeed exuding an extremely faint, but extremely special medicinal fragrance.
This is indeed a very special medicinal smell!
While talking to Han Feng, the old man Laura kept rumbling his memories in his mind, and finally affirmed that this medicinal fragrance should come from a new type of medicine, and he had never smelled this unique medicinal fragrance.
For an old fellow who is obsessed with pharmacy and has an extremely strong curiosity, the sudden discovery of a new type of potion makes the old man Laura feel a little itchy.
The reason why Old Man Lola was willing to break the rules of the Gauss family and bring Han Feng and Ali to the underground medicine warehouse in this family branch without authorization was because his status as a fourth-level pharmacist and family elder allowed him to ignore the rules of these families; On the other hand, it is also because the old man wants to use this way as a kind of show of goodwill, so that he can ask Han Feng for some specific information about that new type of potion later.
In fact, the so-called faint special medicinal fragrance is the "residual fragrance" of the calcining liquid that Han Feng and Ali had boiled in that barrel for an hour yesterday! Of course, the two people who were soaked in the calcined body liquid at that time, including Xiao Baya, who was waiting next to him, only felt that the taste of the calcined body liquid was so "smoky", and they must never agree with the "medicinal fragrance" said by the old man Laura.
After soaking in the calcining liquid yesterday, it was enough for most of the medicinal power contained in the liquid medicine to slowly enter and accumulate in the bodies of Han Feng and Ali. However, if you want to fully exert the medicinal properties and medicinal powers accumulated in your body, you need two or three days to do a lot of exercise and cultivation. Therefore, Han Feng previously believed that this kind of calcined liquid was the most suitable for its medicinal properties and medicinal power by soaking it every three days.
However, the current Han Feng has extremely urgent requirements for the improvement of his own and Ali's strength, so even if he knows that he will waste some of his medicinal power, Han Feng has to soak this calcining liquid every day. However, in this way, not only will some of the medicinal properties and medicinal power accumulated in the body be lost, but also with the increase in the number of soaking liquids and the acceleration of soaking frequency, the effect of this calcining liquid on the strengthening of the muscles and bones of the two people will also be quickly weakened and completely ineffective. It is estimated that it only takes about half a month of continuous soaking, and Han Feng will have to change the formula of another calcining liquid.
This is undoubtedly a wasteful approach, but in order to speed up the speed of strength improvement, Han Feng also has to do it.
At this time, Han Feng was about to completely forget his purpose of entering this medicine storehouse, and he was already completely immersed in the world of herbs in this medicine storehouse...... The eyes that were originally squeezed by the fat on the face were only two thin slits, but now they were wide and round, and the flickering light in those eyes became more and more frighteningly bright; The mouth that kept babbling was muttering something, more like an old witch muttering incantations......
"Oh! Dao Venerable is above! Get rich! It's such a rich aura, who said that there is no aura in this other world? What is this herb called? …… Oh, Moonweed? Depend on! What a broken name! The concentration of aura in this herb alone can already be rated as a six-grade spirit grass! …… Oh! It turns out that there are more than 3,200 years of fire, no wonder! …… I said, if this moon orchid grows for another 1,800 years, it is estimated that it will be able to become a sperm. ”
"Huh? What is it? …… Well, very good quality, and the medicinal properties are also very pure...... It should be no problem to evaluate the five products. What is this called? …… Oh, the blue fire? …… Well, that's a good name. This herb must be in your hands, and it happens to be one of the elixir materials that can be used to refine and enhance the strength of the human body's meridians......"
It's like Han Feng, who has fallen into a state of magic obstacles, facing the rows of medicine shelves, and is concentrating on his own herb identification work one by one. From time to time, he was still dancing like crazy, and he seemed to have completely forgotten the old man Ali and Laura standing next to him, and the situation he was in.
Because of his previous experience in the pharmacy of the Lance family branch, Ali was not too surprised by this, but looked at the old man Laura who had been smiling next to him with some embarrassment.
Old man Lola looked at Han Feng's crazy state with great interest, as a fourth-level pharmacist, Old man Lola could understand Han Feng's appearance very well. Whether it is an alchemist or a pharmacist, as long as they are obsessed with this pharmacy and herbology, the most precious treasures in their eyes are those cherished and high-grade medicinal herbs.
But what made Old Man Lola feel a little puzzled and puzzled: he looked at Han Feng's appearance, but felt that this Young Master Rogge of the Lance family didn't seem to be like he had just started studying pharmacy. Just looking at Han Feng's obsession, he has to fight with him, an old man who has been immersed in pharmacy for most of his life.
However, this also made Old Man Lola appreciate Han Feng even more. If the previous idea of asking the patriarch of the Gauss family to take Han Feng as an apprentice in potion was just a mischievous idea in the heart of Old Man Lola. Then, the current old man Lola really moved the idea of taking this young master Rogue as his pharmacy apprentice.
No matter what Han Feng's qualifications in pharmacy were, just by virtue of his obsession with medicinal herbs, Old Man Lola could be sure that this waste young master would definitely become a very good pharmacist in the future.
Old man Laura believes that as long as there are two excellent qualities, the so-called pharmacy qualification is not very important. And these two qualities are: focus and obsession!
Carter's life is worse than death right now. He didn't understand why these Bloody Mercenary Regiment guys didn't kill him. The days of waiting for death are always so difficult, and every moment is tormented by the deep fear in my heart.
It's been the third day that Carter has been brought here, and it's less than fifty miles away from the small town of Lancer just outside the Dark Forest. The Bloody Hand Mercenary Regiment had been stationed on the edge of the Dark Forest for three days.
Carter really didn't understand what this bloody mercenary group was trying to do? Their purpose here was clearly to be for the town of Naranse, but the stay was only for three days. In the past three days, Carter did not notice any special actions of the Bloody Hand Mercenary Group. Carter didn't believe that the leaders of these bloody mercenary groups would not understand the reason of the speed of soldiers, and if they were really coming for the small town of Lancer, they should not have stayed here. Aren't they afraid that the Rand Kingdom Patrol in the small town of Lancer will notice the movement here?
But it can't be said that the Bloody Hand Mercenary Group is stationed here and has no action at all. After all, this is the junction of Lancer Town and the Dark Forest, and if you want to travel from Lancer Town to the Dark Forest, the mercenary team has to pass through this area.
Therefore, in the past three days, from the screams and fighting that Carter could hear, he could be sure that at least five mercenary squads had been attacked and killed by the Bloody Hand mercenary group. And these five mercenary squads seem to have been completely wiped out, at least, Carter has not seen a single captive like himself.
Could it be that this Bloody Hand Mercenary Group really intends to rely on this way of waiting for the rabbit to weaken the mercenary force in Lancer Town as much as possible? But then, Carter overturned his own speculation. The mercenaries in Lancer Town are not all fools, and the blockade-style extermination behavior of the Bloody Hand Mercenary Group will quickly arouse the alarm of the mercenaries in Lancer Town.
Seeing only in but not out, the number of missing mercenary squads that took over the mission has increased, and those experienced old mercenaries will definitely become suspicious soon. This blockade of the Bloody Hand Mercenary Group will definitely not last for a few days before it will be discovered by the old mercenaries who have come to the alert. I believe that the leaders of this bloody mercenary group are also well aware of this.
So why are they doing this? What the hell did they have in mind? Carter couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head. Moreover, no matter what the ultimate goal of this bloody mercenary group is, this kind of wanton hunting and killing the mercenary team of the Rand Kingdom and blocking the Dark Forest area on the border of the kingdom has actually formed a provocation against the Rand Kingdom. Where did this bloody mercenary group get so daring?
Just when Carter was thinking about the pain in his head, he saw the tall man with a soft voice again. It was this tall man with a blood-colored bone paw mark on his chest who had personally ended the life of Lu Lie, the leader of their mercenary team, a few days ago.
Although their captain, Lu Lie, had been shot through his body by two arrows, he had lost the ability to resist; Although there was a distance of twenty or thirty feet, and Carter's mind was already in a trance at that time, he still clearly watched this tall man in white leather armor slowly walk to the side of his captain Lu Lie, and then with that gentle smile on his face, he slowly stretched out his hand and slowly twisted Lu Lie's neck......
It seemed that the blood foaming from the mouth of the captain Lu Lie could still be seen in front of him, Carter looked at the tall man in front of him who still had that gentle smile on his face, and his heart suddenly swelled with irrepressible fear......
"Carter Stirry, the distant nephew of Baron Piri Stirry of the Rand Kingdom, is twenty-seven years old this year, the fourth level of Dou Qi, and graduated from the Blue Sword Primary Dou Qi Academy of the Rand Kingdom two years ago. Later, he registered with the Mercenary Union of Lisbon City, joined the ranks of mercenaries, and followed the captain Lu Lie to form the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Team, which was not registered. Mr. Carter, am I right? ”
That gentle and nice voice sounded in Carter's ears, and he couldn't help but shiver. He lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the ground in front of his toes, and he didn't dare to look at the tall man in front of him, who was very handsome, with beautiful blue eyes.
The tall man seemed to be very interested in Carter, and although he didn't look up, Carter could clearly feel his eyes constantly looking up and down his body, which made Carter feel chills all over his body.
Without waiting for Carter's answer, the tall man chuckled,
"Hehe, Lord Carter, as far as I know, you also have the status of a low-ranking nobleman in the Rand Kingdom, right? How could you be such a lowly mercenary? Moreover, your sister Carney Stirry is also engaged to Viscount Lila's eldest son, and I believe you will soon be able to get your sister's attention. At that time, even if you want to be a low-level general in the warrior legion of the Rand Kingdom, I believe it will not be a problem. So, why do you still want to be a mercenary? ”
Carter's body trembled slightly as the tall man spoke, but he still kept his head down and gritted his teeth silently.
The tall man seemed to laugh even more cheerfully, "Your Excellency Carter, what's so bad about that?" Having a rare dark physique is so unpleasant that you don't dare to talk about it? ”
Carter raised his head suddenly, his eyes were already red, and his deep fear turned into almost crazy anger at this time: "You are talking nonsense! I'm not! I'm not a dark constitution! You are talking nonsense! ”
