"Before I met that fish-man, I had a superstitious belief that all beings are equal, and that genius is nothing but synonymous with hard work. And after meeting him...... I began to believe in miracles. ”

Separator**********

Qiao Han's Intermediate Pharmacist Qualification Exam is coming as scheduled.

As a jailer, Johan cannot leave his post without permission, and the test can only be conducted in the basement. During this period of time, by observing and imitating Moqi's experimental operation techniques, Chauhan's operation has also made a qualitative leap, and it is not in vain that Moqi has been preparing for Johan's experimental demonstration for so long.

Behind the long table directly across from the lab table sat three undead elders in exaggerated peaked hats and velvet robes, all three of whom were members of the Council of the Royal Society of Apothecaries, each of whom was a prominent figure in the field of alchemy in Azeroth, according to Chauhan. The hat of one of the undead ladies reminded Mochi of the large fruit bowl in the KTV, and it has to be said that the dress taste of the top brass of the Royal Apothecary Society is really poor.

Moqi noticed that Chowhan was very nervous in the face of the three experts. This is also normal, after all, when Qiao Han is studying on weekdays, he will read the works of these three people, and their names are really thunderous to Qiao Han.

One of the expert judges crossed his arms and waited impatiently for Qiao Han to start the experiment quickly. The other two, though not so obvious, pursed their lips and stared at Johan from above the frame with gray eyes, waiting for Johan to start his presentation.

Chowhan was nervously overwhelmed and forgot how to get started.

Seeing this, Mo Qi took advantage of the three judges' inattention and climbed onto the medicine cabinet behind him. Mochi adjusted his posture and flailed his fist to get Johan's attention. Mochi pumped his fist at Johan and told him in silent body language—

"You can do it! Come on! ”

Seeing Moqi's antics make him breathe a long sigh of relief - what a great fish-man he is!

Qiao Han began to introduce his experiment to the three judges in a relaxed and confident tone - his experimental demonstration project is called "Modified Experimental Design of the Formulation Process of the Powerful Shadow Protection Elixir", and the experiment designed by Qiao Han not only reduced the production cost of the Powerful Shadow Protection Agent, but also made the agent through this process more stable, easier to store, and more effective than the traditional experimental preparation of the drug.

Seeing that Qiao Han was playing well, Moqi turned his gaze to the three judges. It makes people feel a little uneasy, in the process of Qiao An's operation and explanation, the three judges are always serious and do not say a word, which invisibly makes Mo Qi worry about Qiao Han.

"After the above steps, the next thing to do is the regular fusion process......"

"Yes, that's it, that's it." The female pharmacist named Ira interrupted Johan's introduction by raising her hand, and Johan looked at her in confusion, while the female undead didn't even raise her eyes to look at Johan and continued to write something in the wooden book in front of her.

In the room, only the sound of a quill writing on papyrus was left.

A sense of foreboding rose in Chauhan's heart - the expressions of these judges were too stiff.

After writing a few lines, Irai turned to the other two judges: "What do you two think?" ”

The two male pharmacists, who were also of the same age, glanced at each other, exchanged glances, and the one in the middle said, "Then I'll talk about it first." ”

When the judge looked at the notebook in his hand, Qiao Han and Mochi felt that time was about to freeze, and they almost held their breath as they listened quietly to the judge's speech—

"There were some operational problems during the experiment, but ...... I have to admit that this is the best intermediate pharmacist experimental display I've ever seen. So, Pharmacist Johan, on behalf of the Council, I would like to congratulate you on passing the Intermediate Pharmacist Qualification Exam! ”

That's great!

The big gasp in the middle of the judges' words almost scared Qiao Han and Mochi to death.

Qiao Han was about to jump up excitedly, and then looked at the other side, the pharmacist Jerold, who was originally going to see Qiao Han's embarrassment, had purple dark lines on his pale face because of anger, that expression was really wonderful!

In addition, as early as the time of Gerald's appearance, Mochi had already filled the alcohol blowtorch with alcohol. After the exam, Moqi equipment came back to perform a good show of braised fat sausages.

"Very genius experimental design." While the judges praised Qiao Han with their arms crossed, they also expressed their doubts, "How did you come up with such a perfect design?" In the Royal Apothecary Society, many senior pharmacists may not have this ability to do so. ”

"Actually, I'm just more likely to mess up experiments than ordinary people......" When answering this question, Qiao Han always had an embarrassed smile on his face, "Experiments that seem to ordinary people to have a high success rate are also full of countless possibilities of failure in my opinion." Therefore, the general experimental process did not guarantee that I would be able to complete the experiment successfully, and after failing again and again, I found the experimental method that suited me......"

At this point, Qiao Han paused, everyone was waiting for him to continue, but he didn't come up with many words after thinking about it for a long time, and simply concluded: "Well, that's it. ”

"Very good, you can see that you are a hardworking and ......"

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps on the wooden staircase, and the sound of many people running through the roof of the basement.

"Find him!" Upstairs there was the sound of a woman giving orders, and the voice sounded familiar to Mochi.

"Got him!" A voice from the attic reported to the woman.

Mochi guessed they were talking about Cedric? Carlstone, the poor old undead can cause trouble in a place like this. Hearing the conversation coming from upstairs, Mochi was still a little sympathetic to Carlstone, who would have thought that the woman's next sentence would make Mochi no longer have time to sympathize with others.

"And the fish-man, bring it over too."

“WTF？ Is there any mistake? Lao Tzu has been staying in the laboratory to do experiments? You're going to arrest me too? Before Mochi could finish his emotion, several heavily armed undead soldiers rushed down the stairs, and without much effort, they caught Mochi.

Johan tried to stop them, but was pushed away by these brutal undead soldiers.

Mochi was taken out of the room, only to find that the normally empty manor was now crowded with all sorts of Tirisfa residents. The heavily armed undead warriors maintained a circle of clearing in the middle of the crowd of onlookers, and a thin and thin Karlston stood in the middle of the clearing, hunched on his back.

The skinny Mochi was rudely thrown next to Carlstone by the undead guards, and the old undead man had a tired smile on his pale face: "I'm sorry to bother you." ”

Before Mochi could figure out the situation, the familiar female voice sounded again: "Carlstone, the queen has repeatedly given you opportunities, but you have responded to the queen's kindness with deception. Cedric Carlstone, you've let us down so much. ”

Mochi followed the voice and looked over, and what he saw was the dark ranger named "Verona".

There was a discussion in the crowd -

"Cedric deserves to deceive the Queen."

"yes, how could he do that?"

Verona pressed her gaze at Cedric, and with each step forward, the chain mail on her body rustled, "You were the richest undead in this land, and you could have given your wealth to our country, contributing greatly to the prosperity of the Forgotten Realm." ”

Hearing Verona's words, Mochi was a little shocked. Hearing Cedric say that he was rich, Mochi thought that he was a rich man at best, who would have thought that he would be the richest man in the undead capital region.

Moqi couldn't help but look at Cedric with a reproachful look, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have thought you would be verbose, would I?

Hearing these words, Cedric just lowered his head numbly when he heard Verona's words, without any expression on his face.

Verona continued: "There are so many compatriots who are giving everything to our country, but what about you? You have hidden your possessions privately...... Cedric, you're so selfish! You are no longer forgotten, you have no faith, you are a lost person. ”

The west wind is sluggish.

In the face of the contempt, accusations and scolding of countless onlookers, Cedric remained expressionless.

Verona said, "Today, right here, I will carry out the will of the Forsaken and put this man to death along with his fish-men according to the Queen's will!" ”

Moqi: "Damn, I have a woolen relationship!" Why do you want to put me to death, hey, you all see clearly! I'm just a harmless fish-man! ”

However, Moki's screams went unnoticed, and to everyone present, the life or death of a fish-man really didn't matter.

"Wait!" Cedric suddenly shouted.

"Do you have anything to say?" Verona asked coldly.

"If I tell where my property is now? Can you let me go? Cedric asked with a smile.

"No, you can't. Your deception to the Queen with a fake artifact fragment is already a capital offense, and no matter what you do, you will not be able to make up for it. Verona said with a sneer.

"So, what if I trade my property for the life of this fish-man?" Cedric's words caused an uproar for everyone.

"When King Minethil was alive, Cedric was known to be the richest man in Lordaeron, and it is incredible that he would trade his life's wealth for the life of a fishman."

"Maybe it's the last moment, he only has one friend with this fish-man. Old Cedric was also a poor man, and when he got old, only the fish-people were willing to listen to him. ”

With a chance to escape death, Mochi just wanted to say to Cedric, "Dude, that's funny!" ”

There was silence for a moment, and the Dark Ranger really couldn't see anything special about this fish-man that was worth Cedric's expense.

"I promise you." Verona finally replied.

Cedric crouched down and took out a nightcap made of curtain cloth: "This is my new hat for you, put it on!" This is the last gift I can give you......"

Seeing this hat, Mo Qi's eyes moistened a little - this hat is so fucking ugly.

"Let's go. You're free. Cedric finished his farewell words and prepared to die.

Mochi turned his head and watched as the emaciated old undead slowly walked towards the cemetery, gradually separating from the crowd, as if he and the undead behind him belonged to two different worlds.

He looked ahead of him again—it was an unobstructed path, no longer stood in his way, and that was what he had always hoped for, the colorful world of Azeroth beyond, and a myriad of wonderful adventures beckoning him......

But Moqi couldn't take a step.
