Chapter 28: Prophecy 2
In Shangdu, the eastern green forest district, on the crowded commercial pedestrian street, two young men and women supported the white-haired old man and carefully walked into the shops on the side of the street.
The passers-by didn't seem to care, and they didn't cast curious eyes, and hurriedly walked in front of them.
The storefront looked a little shabby, and above the doorway hung a brown wooden board with a simple drawing of a reagent, and I didn't even bother to write the name.
After entering, a smell mixed with sweet, sour and other smells came to my face, and there was also a smell of disinfectant water that was very similar to that of a hospital.
Two rows of shelves stick to the left and right walls, on which are placed test tubes filled with liquids of different colors.
Walking all the way inside, he could see a row of tables in the inner compartment, which were filled with glass bottles, test tubes, medicine stoves and other tools, much like the laboratory furnishings when he was in school.
On the left side is a container similar to a Chinese medicine store, with hundreds of drawers, each with a name.
Su Hao shouted inside: "Teacher Hongye, a patient is coming!" ”
Boom~
Smoke rose from inside, making the smell even more pungent.
As expected, the other party's experiment failed again.
Su Hao pursed his lips, very worried that this research madman would blow himself up one day.
"What's the noise, hurry up and clean up for me!"
An irritable voice sounded inside, and a strange figure came out of it, and after making him look at it, he hurriedly lowered his head and walked in, otherwise he was worried that he couldn't help laughing.
I saw that the man's hair was scattered, his face was black with traces of medicine residue and soot staining, and his robe was full of holes and turned into holes, and the whole person looked more pitiful than the beggar squatting at the city gate.
However, it would be dangerous if you underestimated her because of this, because this is one of the best alchemists in the entire business. It's just that his temper is too weird, and his popularity among the forces in the Shang capital is extremely poor.
"Tsk, your grandchildren really don't take their lives seriously, and they drill wherever the danger is, how many times has this been?"
To his surprise, this strange woman actually knew Li Ya'er and them, and she didn't mind her sloppy appearance at all, and walked over to carefully check the injuries on the white-haired old man's body. After she finished reading it, she suddenly frowned and sighed:
"Old man Li, you are so powerful, even a second-level necromancer dares to provoke you, I really doubt how you escaped." After the strange-looking woman came to see the old man's injury, her voice was full of helplessness.
"Can it be cured?" Li Yaer pinched the corners of her clothes nervously.
"Count his fate, I just got an Ansel flower here, just enough to restrain this corpse poison. I'll give him a potion first, and after taking it, he will be completely cured with just a little recuperation. After the woman said lightly, she took out a strange-looking flower.
It's weird because the flower shimmers like an incandescent light with a milky white halo and flashes like breath.
She glanced at Su Hao, who was standing next to her: "Why are you standing there like a pillar?" Hurry up and pack it up! ”
"Okay!"
Su Hao agreed, and diligently rearranged the alchemy table that could be called the scene of the explosion.
As an alchemist's apprentice, he was already familiar with doing these things.
Don't look at the other party's unkind speech, in fact, it's still quite good, since the first meeting last week, I have been teaching him attentively, and I have completely brought into the role of a real teacher.
Without the slightest concealment, he learned a lot of knowledge about alchemy, which is the traditional strict master and high apprentice.
After finishing the arrangement, the woman opened the medicine stove and put the flower in, then added various materials little by little, and only stopped after more than ten minutes, and handed over the white liquid in a test tube.
Li Ya'er hurriedly caught it and carefully leaned over to the old man's mouth to feed him to drink.
Ahem~
The old man coughed violently, coughing up a large mouthful of black blood, and the gray color on his face suddenly decreased a lot, obviously the potion worked.
"Charles, study with her, Pharmacist Wang is one of the best alchemists in the Shang capital, and it is expected that it will not be long before he can be promoted to the master level."
After her grandfather's condition improved, Li Yaer looked at Su Hao with a sigh of relief and smiled. After all, the other party was the only relative who saved her, so she didn't know how to thank her.
"It's not that easy." The sloppy woman shook her head and sighed, not complacent, as if she didn't want to discuss this and changed the subject, "By the way, can you tell me what you encountered?" ”
"I'm sorry, but I don't know exactly what happened." Li Ya'er shook her head.
At this time, the white-haired old man who had been resting with his eyes closed opened his eyes, and his face, which was as old as the bark of a dead tree, was full of worry: "I saw a corner of the future, a dark gate opened in the city, black wings covered the sky, the huge body tore the earth, and the entire Shang was destroyed. ”
"Cut, what do you old man think about every day, the gods have long sealed the connection between the main world and the abyss, so that the whole world is hidden, and the demons can't get through at all. Don't think about it, prophecy doesn't fully see the future. I see, don't talk about the end of the world, if you go on like this, you won't wait for that day and you will die in some unknown corner. The sloppy woman pursed her lips and reprimanded angrily, not believing what he said at all.
"You can't be wrong, Momiji, the previous prophecy has already come true, and it was because I discovered some secrets about the meteorite that I entered the ruins of the northern temple to search. It turns out that it has long since turned into a den of terror, where some evil necromancers have gathered. The old man shook his head and said firmly.
"Oh, necromancer, just some dead dogs who love stinky bones. Spread the news to the Holy See, I think those paladins will definitely be eager to go and destroy them. ”
"It's late, it's late, and I already have a premonition that they are plotting a terrible catastrophe. We must set off immediately, without delay. Please, Momiji, please go and tell the lord of the castle now, or it'll be too late! The old man's expression changed, and he struggled to stand up and asked anxiously, his expression full of eagerness.
Su Hao looked at him in surprise on the side, not understanding why this old man had become so fast, had he really discovered any crisis?
However, he wasn't too worried, he was a gamer anyway.
For many players, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement, and it's better to fully invade the Overworld by the Endless Abyss, so that you can fight to the fullest, rather than busy delivering a letter all day long, going out of the city to fight gophens and rabbits and other boring tasks.
"Well, I think you're really burned." Sloppy reached out and touched his forehead, and shook his head very calmly, "Take your grandfather back and rest for two days." Come with me, silly boy, I'm going to test your progress. ”
She left the pharmacy after speaking, obviously not caring about the catastrophe in the old man's mouth.
Come to think of it, it is difficult to find the whereabouts of the demon in the main world now, and it has been calm for many years, and most people will laugh at him for talking about dreams, how can he believe it?
Su Hao turned around and said goodbye to the two of them: "I'm sorry, I lost my company first." ”
After speaking, they looked at each other with a little expectation, but Li Yaer smiled and said, "Hurry up, learning is the most important." Grandma Momiji is a very good person.,It's just not very good at communicating with people.,Please bear with me.。 ”
Alas, I don't understand what I mean.
Su Hao shook his head slightly, and reluctantly followed the sloppy woman to the second floor......
When he left, the old man looked blankly at the roof.
"Grandpa, it's time to go back." The granddaughter pulled him up from her chair and asked softly.
"Xiaoya, I saw the world-destroying catastrophe in my dream, and endless demons swept over and destroyed the entire world." The old man muttered.
"I have to do something to prevent this tragedy from happening again, and we have to do everything we can to stop this catastrophe before it happens."
"Grandpa, don't think so much, even if there is a real disaster, we can't stop it. Leave it all to the legendary powerhouses, or with the blessing of the gods, what you need most now is a good rest. Li Yaer looked at him distressedly.
Because of the cost of prophecy, his grandfather's life has long been short, but he is still running around regardless of life and death, just to prevent a disaster that seems like a fantasy.
The old man lowered his head and sighed heavily, "Alas, even you don't believe me. People laugh at me for dreaming that one day, the future will witness what I do. ”
"I really hope nothing happens!"
"Grandpa, why are you so sure that something must have happened?" Li Ya'er looked at him worriedly, wondering if he was under the influence of the cultists.
The old man looked up at the stairs, his gaze becoming deeper and deeper: "Because I see a glimmer of future in him, a future full of thorns and blood, a terrifying future like a sea of corpses and blood!" ”
"A red lotus blooms in the sea of corpses and blood, and darkness and light are only between a thought."
The girl was stunned for a moment, and looked thoughtfully in the direction of the stairs......
