Chapter 5: Greedy Pisis
Leader Quinn and several high-ranking officials asked to no avail, and after leaving, a doctor in a white coat walked in with a blank face.
With a goatee and a bacon-like face, the whole person looks very gloomy.
Wren knows this guy.
This old vulture is the chief doctor of the "Weasel Bandits", Chiz Picis.
Although this guy is only a second-order awakened "advanced person", his combat effectiveness is very average. But in the Monster Thieves, his status is extremely high, and even the leader Quinn is very polite when he sees him.
Because, he also has a very noble identity, a two-star potions master certified by the Potions Masters Guild!
Almost all of the Monster Thieves' extraordinary advanced potions came from him...
Of course, there is also the chronic poison [Zombie Elixir] that controls the newcomer, which is his unique recipe.
If Wren wants to get the antidote, he has to make a decision from this old thing.
......
Pisis walked into the infirmary, his eyes fell on Wren, and he said lightly, "You're awake..."
Wren hurriedly got up, made a respectful gesture as a newcomer, and bowed in thanks, "Thank you, Mr. Pissis, and only you can pull me back from the brink of hell." ”
"Heh..."
Pisis snorted noncommittally, and his cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with a glint that looked as aggressive as a viper.
He stared at Wren and said meaningfully, "Now that there's no one else here, can you tell me what happened in the sewers?" ”
It's a very ordinary inquiry, but the tone sounds eerie and creepy.
It's as if if you were to lie, you would be swallowed by a poisonous snake.
"Huh?"
Wren was surprised, but he drank in his heart: it really came.
There was an unnatural look on his face, and he said, "I told the leader just now, I was in a coma and I don't remember anything..."
"Oh? Isn't it..."
Pisis sneered, with a weird smile on his face that you can't fool me with this little trick.
After a pause, the corners of his mouth overflowed with a touch of sarcasm, and said, "They sent you here before, and I sampled your blood. But oddly enough... In addition to deciphering the unknown deadly toxin, there are also the ingredients of the antidote. If I'm not mistaken, you survived because you were injected with the Interpretation Potion in time..."
Hearing this, Wren's expression suddenly jumped.
In the eyes of others, this is a disguise of pretending to be calm.
Pisis keenly caught the different colors of Wren's face, and his eyes lit up, and he felt that he had guessed correctly.
Then he asked in a threatening gloomy tone, "So, can you explain who injected you with that interpretation potion?" ”
"Ahh This..."
Rayne's eyes trembled for a moment by this sudden question, showing a panic like a normal person's secret being discovered.
But before he fell into a coma, he had expected that he had left a "flaw" that could not be eliminated.
After the antidote is injected, it remains in the body for several days.
This "flaw" can be hidden from others, but it can never be hidden from this Pisis who is proficient in pharmacy!
The previous inquiries of those Quinn and the higher-ups did not mention this situation, which means that this Pisis did not report this information to them.
The purpose is also obvious... This greedy old fellow really wants to monopolize the treasure of Baron Morin!
But it's also... Right in the middle.
Because, this is also the situation that officially Rennes wants to see the most!
When Leader Quinn questioned him before, he noticed that the guys didn't mention "deciphering potions". Wren guessed he was right.
This guy, who the old people in the regiment privately called "arrogant Pissis", really made a greedy choice.
Of course, whoever knows what a fortune Baron Morin left behind, I'm afraid they want to swallow it alone!
And Raymond also knew very well that although this guy was the worship of the Strange Thieves, he, the noble Potions Master, had never looked down on these filthy thieves and disdained them.
As long as this Pisis is selfish, Wren can exchange "chips" for more benefits, an antidote... And freedom!
Of course, even if Pugh was selfless and informed the leader of the situation, Wren had already thought of a way to deal with it.
......
Now, Wren is in full control.
After all, no one would have thought that those things that disappeared were hidden on him at the moment.
However, he also knows very well that when dealing with an old and cunning guy like Pissis, as soon as he hands over his chips, his value is gone!
Since this old thing intends to swallow the treasure alone, but after getting what he wants, how can he stay alive?
"That..."
After pretending to struggle for a while, as if he had figured out something, he no longer hid it, and asked directly: "Mr., if I say... What can you give me? ”
"Oh... Not going to quibble? ”
Hearing this, a sharp glint flashed under Picis's eyes.
Those lost treasures, this kid really knows!
What could be a treasure that would make a great thief like Quinn nervous?
The old guy was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was extremely cold, and he said coldly: "Hehe... You should know the rules of the regiment. If you let Quinn know that you don't report it, nine lives won't be enough to die..."
"Humph!"
Hearing this, Wren also looked like a broken jar, and said with a horizontal gaze: "I can't awaken the extraordinary, and there is no antidote, anyway, I will either die in training or in the mission... What's the difference? ”
The life of a thief who licks blood from the knife edge can live for a few years.
A newcomer with a "crane tail" has a really small chance of surviving.
It's normal to have this reaction.
"Little ghost, you're a little clever."
Hearing this, Pisis was not surprised, but a look of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
Greed is in human nature.
Of course, he didn't plan to use Quinn to scare this newcomer who seemed to him to be a little clever.
He didn't dwell on it, and asked directly, "So, what do you want from me?" ”
Wren said directly: "I want the antidote to the [Zombie Elixir]!" ”
"That's it?"
Hearing this, Pisis raised his eyebrows, as expected.
But after a moment's pause, he listened to Wren say again: "And... I hope that you will accept me as a full disciple, Mr. Pissis! ”
"Huh?"
When Pisis heard this, an imperceptible streamer flashed in his eyes, and he sighed with a smile: "You kid is smart." ”
Normally, this is the most profitable option.
When he became a disciple of his Pisis, he became a doctor or an apprentice of a potions master. Then Li's status in the Monster Thief Group will rise sharply, and he will no longer have to participate in any death training and dangerous tasks, and his life safety will naturally be guaranteed.
After all, in this cruel world, whether it is a potions master or a doctor, the status is extremely high.
It is not easy for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy to have this kind of scheming.
Moreover, only by becoming his own disciple and handing over the secret, maybe he doesn't have to die.
If it were normal, there would be such a clever miscellaneous apprentice, and it would be possible to control it with some means.
But now this "Weasel Monster Bandit" is about to be destroyed...
He didn't have the heart to accept any disciples.
Anyway, it was a blank check, and Picis, who had already been murderous, naturally responded: "Yes!" I can give you the antidote, and I will also tell Quinn to take you as a disciple. ”
Hearing this, Wren pretended to be flattered and said, "Mr. Pissis, you really agreed to accept me as a disciple?" ”
"Hmm."
At this point, the old guy looked at Wren with a "kind" look and asked, "So... Now you can tell me what happened in the sewers of Morin Manor, right? ”
Hearing this, Wren also smiled heartily and started his performance: "At that time I was in the sewer..."
