"Bell bell bell ~"

The bell of a carriage rang behind him, Lawson hurriedly avoided the side, glanced into the carriage again, and saw that the carriage was empty, so he shouted to the coachman: "Hey~ man, go to the Secret Garden Hotel in the west of the city, 10 silver Clen reward, why don't you do it?" ”

"Of course."

The carriage immediately stopped.

Rosen carried Lilith on his back and boarded the carriage.

......

Half an hour later, Rosen arrived at the Secret Garden Inn, and opened a gorgeous suite on the third floor of the hotel, and after settling Lilith, he took out a money bag and put it on the bedside table: "Miss Linde, now that you are safe, I should also go." This money should be enough for you to stay in this hotel for a month, and this time should be enough for you to take care of your health. ”

With that, Rosen turned around and was about to leave.

Lilith hurriedly called out to him, "Wait, we've negotiated several deals before, how can I contact you after that?" ”

"Oh~ I almost forgot about it."

Lawson patted his head, stopped, turned and walked to the desk in the room, took a piece of papyrus, flattened it, took a quill and dipped it in ink, and then wrote quickly on the paper.

After a few minutes, he gently blew down the papyrus, and when the ink was dry, he handed it to Lilith with a smile: "This is the recipe for the potion I stumbled upon: trinitroglycerin." You give him to any alchemist who has a slight achievement, and they will soon be able to refine the finished product. ”

Lilith propped herself up, carefully took the papyrus, looked closely, and soon found that it was a very detailed procedure.

Although she was not an alchemist, she had heard of the alchemy steps, and after reading them along the way, she was sure that this was indeed a potion formula. She knew that if this prescription really worked, it would be priceless enough to affect the fate of the Academy, and indeed the entire city of Nilogaard.

"And how am I going to give you the money?"

"Money matters, don't rush." Rosen waved his hand: "After the academy has verified the prescription, it will not be too late to give it to me." ”

"......" Lilith stopped talking, and after a few seconds of silence, she still spoke: "Alchemist, I must remind you that you handed over the prescription to the academy so directly. When the time comes, if the academy doesn't admit it......"

Rosen smiled and asked, "Miss Linde, would you let this happen?" ”

Lilith was anxious: "Of course I won't, but my status in the academy is not as high as you think." For those great magicians, my opinion is only of some value, but it doesn't determine the direction of things! ”

Rosen was not in a hurry at all: "Miss Linde, to tell you the truth, my prescription is only the main ingredient of the explosive agent, but in order to make this explosive agent really usable, some additional excipients are needed....... Well, the academy gives money, and I will give the full prescription. As for the price~ The main ingredient is 100,000 gold dragon coins, and if you want a complete prescription, add 50,000. If the academy agrees, you can take it to warehouse 3 in the dock area by horse-drawn cart, and then make sure that there are no magicians from the academy within a mile of warehouse 3, otherwise I will never show up. ”

Lilith was stunned: "Can't I be there too?" ”

"Neither can you. Trust me, I'm doing this to protect you. In the future, if we still have transactions, we will also follow this model. ”

With that, Lawson turned around again and walked towards the door: "Goodbye, Miss Linde." ”

"Wait, you haven't told me your name yet......"

"Bang~~"

The door was shut, and Lawson left the room, walking unusually simply.

Lilith stared blankly at the closed door, stunned.

This mysterious young alchemist, perhaps still a monster, suddenly appeared in her life, took her out of danger, and then suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Hey~~ With his cautious character, I don't know if I can see him again in the future."

Not to mention the melancholy Lilith, after Lawson left the Secret Garden Inn, he got into a carriage again: "Go to the Blue Moon Mansion." ”

Anne is still waiting for news from him near the Blue Moon Mansion, he has been missing for so long, he has to hurry back to report the news.

Unexpectedly, after the coachman heard the name, the whole person froze, and looked at Rosen with a strange look.

"What, is there a problem?" Rosen asked curiously.

"Sir, do you really want to go to the Blue Moon Mansion?"

Rosen's heart moved, knowing that there might be a problem with the mansion, so he immediately changed his words: "No, I just went to a shop near the mansion, I'm afraid that you don't know the name of the place, so I reported a big name." ”

"Oh, I see." The coachman breathed a sigh of relief, waved his whip, and started the carriage in the direction of the Blue Moon Mansion.

After driving for a while, Rosen couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What's the matter, something happened in the Blue Moon Mansion?" ”

The coachman nodded: "Something is wrong." Just last night, Count Derek was killed, his body was cut out, and finally hung at the gate of the mansion, which was a miserable one. ”

Rosen was taken aback, didn't Count Derek have the protection of Grimm the Magician? Why did he die so tragically after just over a day? Did Grimm the Wizard eat?

The coachman is a talkative person, and he can't stop as soon as he opens the chatterbox, and he doesn't need Rosen to ask, so he said to himself: "Hey~ If you want to say that people want to die, even if it is protected by the gods, it is useless." Let's just talk about the Earl, I heard that there has always been a magician around to protect you, but our Earl, when I was shopping, I fell in love with a beautiful girl, and I tried every possible way to snatch it back to the mansion, but before I could spend the night, something happened. ”

Speaking of this, the coachman's voice became very low, and he said mysteriously, "Guess what? ”

"Is that pretty girl an assassin?" Rosen was very cooperative with the coachman.

The coachman slapped his thigh, whipped his whip, and laughed: "Clever! Not just an assassin, but a monster. The Count has taken a fancy to a monster and wants to spend the night with the monster, and you say, isn't he looking for death? ”

Rosen couldn't help but cover his forehead: "Yes, he is just looking for death, looking for it again and again, and finally he died." ”

Such a fool is indeed something that the gods can't protect.

After a while, the carriage drove near the Blue Moon Mansion, and across the street, Rosen saw two guards standing at the gate of the Blue Moon Mansion, the gate was also closed, and a notice from the city hall was posted on the door.

The mansion should have been sealed.

Rosen couldn't help but sigh: "The monster assassin is really getting more and more arrogant, if one dies, make up for one immediately, and don't stop until the goal is achieved." ’

He got out of the carriage opposite the gate, walked a hundred or so meters down the street, turned into an alley, and after a few steps in the alley, he entered an inn, and after saying hello to the innkeeper, he went to the room on the top floor of the inn.

When he reached the door of the room, Lawson reached out and knocked on the door, and after two cycles, the wooden door creaked open, and Anne appeared behind the door.

As soon as she saw Lawson, her eyes turned red: "Where have you been?" ”

Lawson walked in the door, closed the wooden door, found a chair and sat down, and sighed: "This thing is a long story." You sit, I'll talk to you carefully. ”

After Anne sat down, Rosen told everything he had encountered in the Blue Moon Mansion, from accidentally saving Lilith, to accidentally entering the monster's underground city, to meeting the Flame Cultists, and finally returning to the docks.

When he was done, he said, "That's the whole thing, I didn't expect to encounter so many things." But fortunately, it was not completely fruitless. ”

didn't think about it, but Anne glanced at Lawson sideways, and said sourly: "I heard that Lilith is a first-class beauty in the academy, and I don't know if this is flattered by others, or is it really true?" ”

Before Lawson could perceive the danger, he picked up the teacup from the table next to him and took a sip, then said, "She looks really good, she is a beauty." ”

"Then you stayed with her all day, and saved her life three times and twice, and she still gave herself to you gratefully?" Anne squinted.

"Dedicated? How can it be? As far as she looks like she's going to die at any time, she wants to dedicate herself, but I don't dare touch it. ”

"Oh, if she's fine, would you dare?"

"I ......" Rosen finally realized that something was wrong, and he hurriedly changed his words: "Annie, I have nothing to do with her. You see, as soon as I settled her, I rushed over. I will never see her again in the future. ”

"Really?" Anne was skeptical.

"Absolutely." Rosen immediately assured.

"Alright then, I'll forgive you for missing out this time." With a wave of her hand, Anne revealed the matter.

Rosen breathed a sigh of relief, took another sip of water, and asked, "The Earl is dead, how is the magician Green?" ”

"Dead too."

"......." The water in Lawson's mouth almost squirted: "Who did it?" ”

"It was night, and I didn't see it clearly. I saw a thin black shadow, very fast, and it took advantage of the fact that Grimm was checking the Count's injuries and was in a state of confusion, and attacked from behind, and immediately understood the magician. ”

"A skinny black shadow, extremely fast? Is it possible that Arya the Shadow Fiend? ”

"Not her. It's faster than Arya, but it doesn't have the ability to hide its body, and the reason why it's a dark shadow is because of the long distance and the low light. The second is that it wears black clothes. Judging from its speed far beyond ordinary people, it must be a monster. ”

Lawson frowned, thought for a while, he stood up and walked towards the wooden door: "Let's go, let's go to the docks." ”

The monsters are becoming more and more rampant, and if this continues, even if the nobles who support the academy are not killed, everyone will be in danger, and when the time comes, the academy will be isolated and helpless in the kingdom. And without allies, the Flame God Cult can make the Wizard Academy a target with a few simple operations, and by then, it will be too late.

"What are you doing at the docks?" Despite this question, Anne immediately stood up, picked up the equipment box, and quickly followed behind Rosen.

"Find someone called Dallas. Woburn's people. It is highly likely that this person is the mastermind behind the monster's assassination plan. ”
