Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The wait was long, short.
Winnie returned to the tearoom with a ruddy face and a slight panting, the distance from here to the Alchemy Society was a bit far, so it took her a little longer.
If she had walked a little slower, she might have been back longer.
But she didn't, because she wanted to go early and come back early.
Or, she worries that slowing down will make him angry.
Winnie put the small leather case on the tea table and opened it, looked at him with a blank face, and said, "The thing is here." ”
Xia Lan nodded, unbuttoned the small suitcase, and then, he saw ten transparent bottles of liquid.
Five vials of purple, five vials of green.
The top and bottom are separated, and they are in order.
"How do I use it?" Xia Lan picked up one of the vials of purple liquid and said in front of her.
Winnie took a small step forward, pointed her little finger to the purple liquid in his hand and said: "These are those failed products, you can drink them directly, one bottle a day, it is best not to take more, because this is a failure product, and if you take more in a short time, it is likely to aggravate the side effects." ”
"What about the green ones?" Xia Lan looked at the other potions in the box and said, "Neutralize and alleviate the side effects?" ”
"Yes." Winnie nodded, a little ashamed, and said, "After drinking the purple potion, drink the green potion, otherwise the neutralization and relief may be reduced if the order is out of order." ”
Xia Lan took out another bottle of green potion, and along with the other purple potion in her hand, opened the bottle and placed it on the table.
"Excuse me...... What are you doing? Winnie looked puzzled, she thought he was going to drink it now, but there was a vague premonition in her heart.
"It's okay for ordinary people to drink it, right?" Charland Road.
"No, it's just that the side effects may be more pronounced." Winnie said.
"Drink it." Xia Lan looked at her with a cold gaze.
"What?" Winnie was so shocked that she took a small step back and looked at him, incredulous.
The ominous premonition in my heart was fulfilled.
"I said, drink it." Xia Lan repeated.
"Why?" Winnie bit her thin lip and looked at him with moist eyes.
"To drink, or not to drink?"
Opposite the girl's eyes, Xia Lan's eyes were cold, and her face was cold.
"You're afraid of being toxic?" Winnie what came to her mind, she asked.
He was silent, as if to imply her doubts.
He is a very cautious person, especially when dealing with others.
He doesn't trust anyone lightly.
In the chain reaction that followed Ambofen's death, he was even less likely to trust anyone involved.
From the time Winnie left the room, what she didn't know was that he had been hiding behind her because he needed to be verified.
Verify if she will summon someone from the Royal Capital Guard Agency.
And she didn't.
But that doesn't guarantee that the medicine he gives will be safe.
Apothecaries, one of the branches of alchemy, if they want to kill, their methods are more secretive than anyone else's.
For to live, man must eat and drink.
They can kill their target through various channels, and even worse, they can poison them through contact with the skin and air.
In the wars between nations on the continent of Elderland, the apothecary is often an important being that cannot be ignored, and he knows this better than anyone else.
"Still don't believe me?" Winnie looked at him tremblingly.
"What do you think?" He said.
"Why?" Winnie said.
"If it were you, would you trust a strange stranger to come to you for treatment? Moreover, this person may also be a prisoner pursued by the Royal Capital Guard Department. Xia Lan said calmly.
Winnie drooped her head, her small fists shrunk in the big cloak clenched tightly, her small body trembled uncontrollably, and after a while, she raised her head to look at Xia Lan, although the voice in her voice revealed fear, but her eyes were more calm.
"Will you kill me afterwards?"
"Why did you want to kill you?" Xia Lan asked.
"I don't know who you are, but I think you're going to kill me in the end to keep a secret." Winnie said.
Xia Lan took out the quaint long sword from the void ring, this was the same long sword that cut off An Bofen's head.
He drew his sword slowly, his movements looking gentle.
"Qiang—"
Winnie's whole body shrunk, and she almost lost her incontinence.
For the sword in the young man's hand was suddenly on her tender neck.
"Are you afraid of death?" He said.
Winnie looked at the cold blade, breathing heavily, and she nodded.
"I've killed a lot of people, men and women, old and young—" Xia Lan said slowly, "And you, you're not a special one. ”
"Why kill people?" Winnie suppressed her fear, and when she looked at him, his eyes seemed to have lost their brilliance.
"Why?"
He tilted his head sideways, the corners of his mouth hooked, and his sickly pale countenance added to the eerie look.
"Because they're holding me back."
"You're sick." Winnie said.
Her voice trembled, but she wasn't sarcastically sneering at him, it was a instinct she had as a pharmacist.
"I know." Xia Lan nodded. "So I've been refraining."
"But you can't restrain yourself." Winnie became a little bold, and when her identity changed to that of a pharmacist, many things would be slowly forgotten, even fearful.
"You know?" Xia Lan laughed, but there was no trace of tenderness in her smile.
Winnie shook her head and met the oozing smile and said, "I don't know, it's just my instinct as a pharmacist. ”
"Hehe-"
The sword is in the sheath, and the sword is in the ring.
He sat down in a chair, gently picked up a bowl of tea on the table and savored it.
It's as if nothing happened just now, more like a fantasy illusion.
"To drink, or not to drink?"
The conversation is back to the beginning.
"Drink!"
The girl plucked up her courage, reached out and picked up the purple potion and poured it down, followed by green.
She behaved like a frustration.
"When will the side effects kick in?" Xia Lan looked at the girl who was not doing anything and said.
"Time for a bowl of tea." Winnie lowered her head and whispered with her hands on her abdomen.
"Do you know how to make poison?" Xia Lan said suddenly.
"Yes, but it will take time." Winnie looked at him stubbornly with a small face.
"Smearing the poison on the blade of the sword, even the poison that a high-ranking swordsman can kill?" Xia Lan continued.
"As long as I have money, I can make any poison."
Winnie took out a Kinnar from her bosom and looked at him, with a reluctant smile on her face: "Before I became a senior title, my world was only short of money. ”
With a raised eyebrow, Xia Lan looked at her with interest.
"I like people like you."
"I like people like you, too."
"That money is the poison I want, and it will be possible in three weeks?"
"You're killing again?"
"You want me dead? Or do I want to kill someone to die? ”
"You're dead, where can I find someone who has the money to sponsor me."
Putting down the tea bowl, Xia Lan waved her hand and said, "You go, I think the side effects of the medicine are about to attack." ”
"Aren't you afraid that the potion is really poisonous? I might just take an antidote when I go out. Winnie suddenly laughed at this time.
"So I said, I like people like you." Xia Lan shook her head. "Let's go."
Winnie nodded, and walked briskly towards a place in the teahouse with a little disorganized steps, her stomach tumbling and churning to a certain limit.
After checking out the bill, Xia Lan asked the attendant in the teahouse for a place and then disappeared and left.
For a long time, for a long time.
Winnie's little face was a little pale, and her steps on the ground were a little unsteady, as if a gust of wind could blow her small and weak body down at any moment.
Leaning against a wall, Winnie had a wry, self-deprecating smile on her face.
She came from an ordinary family, and one year, her mentor, who was also her uncle, suddenly returned to her home, and in her memory, her uncle was a well-known big man.
Because he is a pharmacist who is treated warmly even by the local aristocratic lords.
Her uncle Corinth had a very weak impression of her when she was young, and most of the time she learned from her parents that there was one such figure in their relatives, but her uncle left the house at an early age, and there was almost no contact with the family.
She didn't know the purpose of her uncle's sudden return, but she knew from her parents' warm attitude towards her uncle that the family welcomed his return.
For some reason, Corinth unexpectedly liked her when she was young at the time, and many things would depend on her various naughtiness.
Later, I heard from her parents that because she had the talent for alchemy, her uncle would look at her differently.
She didn't know what alchemy was, and neither did her parents, but what they did know was that if you wanted to become a big man like her uncle, alchemy was the way.
"If you become an alchemist, the situation at home will be very good, and your father and mother will be very happy, right?"
At that time, she asked childishly.
Her parents stroked her silky fine hair and happily told her that yes.
She likes her father and mother, and she wants to make her family happier.
So she began to get in touch with alchemy from her uncle.
Later, her uncle was about to leave here and return to the royal capital, she did not want to go, but her parents wanted her to leave, and on the day she cried goodbye, her parents said to her: "I hope that little Winnie will come back as a big man in the future, and then my father and mother will be very happy to see such Winnie." ”
Perhaps, with such expectations from her parents, she left here with her uncle.
Left her hometown.
This parting is more like forever.
When she was thirteen years old, her uncle sued her that both her father and mother had died in a fire.
The girl seemed to have fallen into the abyss of darkness.
She was so sad that her heart was torn apart.
She wanted to go home, but her uncle told her that if she went back now, he would give up on her and she would never be able to touch alchemy again.
She didn't know why her uncle treated her like this, couldn't she even go back and see her parents again? Why threaten her like this.
In the end, she chose to stay because of what her parents said to her at the time of parting.
She secretly vowed to become a big man and return to her hometown.
However, what she didn't expect was that suddenly one day.
Her uncle suddenly raped her.
Weak and petite, she couldn't resist her uncle's bestiality at all, when the heat completely entered her body.
Her world collapsed.
That night, Winnie wept silently in the dark room, and when the crying ceased and a strange laughter echoed, it seemed as if there was another girl named Winnie in the world.
She became her uncle's heir, and she had a price she paid.
On that day, during the practice of Cowlins's important potion, Winnie secretly mixed a bottle of highly poisonous potion, and she watched her uncle cry out hoarsely for help.
She was laughing, watching him laugh, laughing so hard that tears were on her cheeks.
Her mentor died, in an accident.
treatment, she is a junior pharmacist.
Poison, she is poison.
