Chapter 62: Coerced Confessions
Yesterday's state was too bad, and I couldn't squeeze out two chapters, but don't worry, I will make up for the words I owe yesterday in today's two chapters.
…………………………
Gray was really angry this time, and the next day, as soon as it was dawn, he went out with all the mages in the guild.
Such a terrifying force came out of the Emerald Tower, which immediately made Garros City tremble a few times, and the heads of the major forces desperately inquired about the news, for fear that Gray's fire would burn on their heads. The city lord's mansion was even more nervous, thinking that Grean had already known about the banquet, and was bringing people to the door to take revenge, Isaac sought refuge from Old Green, and at the same time loaded Barthrol into a carriage, and sent him back to the royal capital of Orlana on the same day.
It wasn't until about noon that the forces suddenly realized that they were a false alarm.
Gray is like going out for a walk, after going around the city of Garros, he quietly brought people back, this is simply a naked teasing, more than a dozen heads of forces are so angry that they scold, Gray's old bastard is really full and has nothing to do, and he will bring so many people out for a walk, do you dare to scratch your bag a little more?
Of course, no one dared to say this in front of Gray's face, seeing this fat plague god go out, it was too late to hide one by one, who would have the courage to provoke him in person?
So no one noticed that among the group of magicians he brought out, at some point, there was an unfamiliar face......
"Now you can say, who made you do this?" In the basement of the Magic Guild, Gray has a fat face.
The object of his interrogation was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, although his eyes were swollen, but among the magicians present, he remembered the surname well, and most of them still recognized who the middle-aged man was.
I remember that when Lin Li first came to the Magic Guild, in order to give him the highest privilege of opening the guild, Grean also caused a wave of opposition within the guild, among which the most fierce opposition was several magicians, in order to threaten Gray, and even did not hesitate to withdraw from the guild.
Who knew that in the end, it would be self-defeating, and as soon as Gray's stubborn temper came up, he directly kicked them out of the guild.
And the middle-aged man in front of him was one of the few magicians who had been kicked out of the guild at the beginning, and his name seemed to be Luke or something.
"I don't know what you're talking about......"
"I don't know, do you?" Gray's face was gloomy, and his eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames: "Then I guess you definitely don't know the Nest of Shadows, let alone the location of the one hundred and twenty-five Wizard's Eyes, as for the route through the sentry, it must not be what you sold to the Nest of Shadows, right?" ”
"Gray, I'm no longer a member of the Magic Guild, what right do you have to imprison me?"
"Who the cares if you're from the Magic Guild?" Gray's expression was vicious, and his roar echoed in the basement for a long time: "Lao Tzu is now seeking revenge - do you understand? You go out and shout now, just say that the Magic Guild has imprisoned you, see if anyone dares to export for you, what the are the rights, do you need rights? ”
"I'm telling you, don't think you're going to get past by pretending to be dead, you're still waiting for the people from the Nest of Shadows to save you, right? Don't dream, you're a tool, a tool that you can only use once! After using it once, you don't have any use value anymore, and you think they'll come to the rescue of something that has no use value? ”
"You can't wronged me...... Gray...... You don't have proof......"
"You want proof?" Gray thought for a while and had to admit: "Okay, Lao Tzu really can't come up with evidence, but it doesn't matter, Lao Tzu is looking for revenge, and revenge doesn't need evidence......"
"......" Lin Li listened in a cold sweat on the side: "Did you force a confession like this......"
"No way, who made this kid refuse to say." Grean replied confidently: "If you don't want to say it, forget it, anyway, this can only be done by a few of them, except for a few of them, who in the guild is willing to do such a thing?" ”
Although Gray's words sound a little rough, the truth is really true.
Now that the Magic Guild dominates Garros City, even the city lord has to take the initiative to come to the door to make friends, and the magicians in the guild go wherever they go, and the treatment they receive is definitely the best, even if they walk into the gilded roses, they will have to pay at least a seven-fold discount when they buy magic equipment.
Since the auction, the benefits have continued one after another.
First of all, there were a hundred sets of magic equipment provided by the Mannis family, which was a fine equipment worth twenty or thirty thousand gold coins, and with such a big wave of his hand, all of them were issued to the magicians within the guild, as long as they reached the level of magicians, they could apply for a set.
And this is just a short time ago, and there are more than a hundred bottles of sobering elixir.
On the day the news was announced, a group of elderly magicians burst into tears of emotion, they couldn't remember how many years they hadn't smelled the potion of lucidity, and when they returned with a bottle of potion of soberness, they felt as if they were living in heaven.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there are many magic guilds, no magician is willing to leave.
What can the Nest of Shadows give them? It's nothing more than money and equipment, but these things, the magic guild is not lacking at all, the annual income of millions of gold coins in the Demon Slayer Valley, the equipment is a hundred sets, and all kinds of potions are constantly being sent, in such a huge happiness, who is willing to leave?
I'm afraid that only those few magicians who have been expelled from the guild will fall to the point of betraying the secrets of the Devil's Guild.
Of course, strictly speaking, this is really not a betrayal, after being driven away by Gray, they have already disowned the Magic Guild, and sold the secret to the Shadow Nest, at best, it can only be regarded as revenge on the Magic Guild.
But Grean doesn't care about this, whether he betrays or takes revenge, in short, he damages the interests of the Magic Guild, and harming the interests of the Magic Guild is equivalent to harming his interests, and if he damages his interests, he must be destroyed humanely - this is Gray's theory......
"Forget it, I'll leave this matter to ......" Lin Li knew Gray's surname too well, for fear that if this unlucky magician didn't say a few words correctly, he would provoke the old guy with a fireball, and then there would be nothing.
Gray was stunned when he heard this: "You will still coerce a confession?" ”
"I won't." Lin Li shook his head, fumbled in his pocket, and found a glass bottle: "But it will." ”
“……”
"I'll go to the apothery, you don't touch him for now." Before leaving the basement, Lin Li told Gray an two more words.
"Well, I'll listen to you this time." Gray Liang watched Lin Li leave, and gloated and threatened the unlucky magician: "Retarded, I gave you a chance just now, I don't know how to grasp it well, now it's okay, provoke that kid out, don't look at him Svenwen, he is much more ferocious than Lao Tzu, forcing him to do it himself, and he doesn't know what kind of perverted potion to come out, maybe it's the kind of thing that will itch and fester, and it will hurt enough for a year to die......
"......" Listening to Gray's terrifying description, the middle-aged magician couldn't help but feel a chill in his vest, but he still insisted.
Because there is one thing that even Grean did not guess, the defensive arrangement of the Demon Slayer Valley, he did not sell it to the Nest of Shadows, but to someone else, who had promised him that he would not have to worry about the revenge of the Magic Guild, because it would not be long before the Magic Guild would be uprooted by him.
"Still won't say? Forget it, even if you want to say it now, Lao Tzu doesn't want to hear it, anyway, when that kid's potion comes out in a while, you will definitely be able to explain how old you are. ”
Lin Li, who was busy in the apothecary, had no idea how Grean was intimidating the hapless magician.
He was now carefully calculating the amount of the potion, and since he had mastered the recipe for the Fear Potion, it was the first time he had actually prepared it, so it was inevitable that he would be more cautious in his preparation.
There are some negative emotions hidden in anyone's heart, and the effect of the fear potion is to completely trigger these negative emotions and amplify them infinitely, among the three materials, Nightmare Grass and Demon Tears, all have similar effects, after mixing, this effect will be greatly enhanced, and in order to avoid excessive fear and mental breakdown, a certain amount of Tranquility Flower is added to calm the mind.
The juice of the nightmare grass is boiling in the beaker, Lin Li is holding a Tranquility Flower in his hand, tearing it carefully one petal at a time, this is a very critical process, too many Tranquility Flowers will seriously reduce the effect of the fear potion, and too few Tranquility Flowers will not achieve the purpose of calming the mind, so Lin Li will gently shake the beaker every time he tears off a petal, waiting for the Tranquility Flower to be fully integrated into the potion, and then judge whether the amount is sufficient according to the color.
After all, this is only the first preparation, unlike the Arcane Elixir Sober Elixir, the result can be judged based on experience alone.
When the Ning Shen Flower was added to the seventh petal, the nightmare grass juice in the beaker began to become cloudy, and Lin Li knew that the amount of Ning Shen Hua was enough, so he took out another Demon Tear from his pocket.
The Devil's Tear is a black fruit, about the size of a finger on the tail of a tail, with a bitter and astringent taste, and if eaten directly, it will produce all kinds of terrifying illusions, unless you take calming drugs, you will never get rid of this illusion, until you are finally tortured by the illusion and completely collapse.
Lin Li took out the silver knife from the Ring of Immersturm, gently sliced the skin of the Demon Tears, and when he saw that a drop of juice was about to overflow, he quickly threw it into the beaker.
In an instant, a mist rose, fused with the potion of demon's tears, and suddenly an intoxicating aroma filled the apothecary room, it was a rather unique taste, like an old wine, so thick that it could not be dissolved, and it was filled with a deadly temptation.
Lin Liqiang resisted the temptation of the aroma, poured the small half beaker potion into the glass bottle that had been prepared long ago, and then tightly plugged the mouth of the bottle.
