Episode 304 Poisonous Scorpion

Donk still has a lot to do, so he can only make a short stop in Magic Horn Harbor. The day after the night of the party, the dragon pirate group began the recruitment work in full swing. Donk had just killed the centopus, and now the limelight was in full swing, and as soon as the news was released, it immediately attracted a flock of conscripts.

Everything was in full swing, and more than a thousand people were recruited that day, and a small pirate group with three ships joined with the ships. Naturally, Donk couldn't afford to treat this pirate group badly, and generously paid enough money to buy three ships.

In fact, the reason why this small pirate group joined was because of the prestige of Donk, and secondly, because they didn't mix well at sea, and they wanted to rely on the big trees to enjoy the shade.

Donk recruited a newcomer, and he happened to have to buy a boat to accept it, so he really dozed off, and someone brought a pillow. In addition to recruiting people, things such as buying colored fish bones, accepting the admiral's bounty, and breaking down the hundred claws were also carried out at the same time, in an orderly and smooth manner.

Things seemed to be perfect, and if it went on like this, in three days it would be possible to sail to sea.

Donk was satisfied with this, and slept comfortably that night, but when he woke up, he heard that something big had happened.

The pirate leader, who had joined with three ships, died in his room, his belongings gone. And that's not all, the dead are still on the ground, and the name of Donk is written in blood! In addition, the deceased was obviously killed by the swordsman, and he had two sword wounds all over his body, and the wounds were very wide, and only sword qi could tear open such a large wound. All kinds of evidence at this death scene point the finger at Donk.

Although this is a pirate port, mixed and evil, if someone is killed, the local garrison, police station, and even the admiral will still intervene and ask about it.

No one dared to move the scene of death, and it was blocked by the people of the Dragon Pirate Regiment.

Donk and the Admiral arrived at the scene at the same time, said hello, and exchanged glances.

"I didn't do it, someone deliberately framed me." Tang Ke's face was warm and angry, his chest rose and fell, and with a wave of his hand out of the window, a sword qi instantly blasted out, cutting a hole in the glass, but it did not shatter the glass, and the sword qi was even more sharp and stable, "I won't need two swords to kill this person, and I won't give him a chance to write a bloody book." ”

Seeing that Tang Ke's strength was so high, the Admiral changed color slightly, and nodded: "No need for Mr. Don Ke to explain, I also believe that you didn't do it, not to mention, you have no motive." With such a small amount of money in the house, how can you pay attention to it. This man has just joined your pirate group, and he will be your help in the future, how can you cut off your arm? ”

Donk did have a good conversation with the deceased, the other party joined in as a pirate leader, and he was also a hero, and he planned to reuse it. Unexpectedly, the pirate leader was harmed that night. Moreover, the murderer also blamed Tang Ke for the matter, and his intentions were really vicious. Tang Ke vaguely felt that the murderer was like a poisonous scorpion, entrenched behind him, waiting for an opportunity to stab him. He made up his mind to find out the murderer, but he was not a detective, and he didn't even have a clue how to deal with this kind of thing.

Although the evidence present is conclusive, who dares to say that Tang Ke did it? Even the Admiral issued a statement on the same day, confirming that the murderer was someone else and had nothing to do with Donk. Donk himself swore to the big guy that it was never his own.

Still, after this incident, some disgusting statements emerged, with some saying that Donk was distressed by the money he had paid for three ships and killed the pirate leader in the night. When Donk heard this, he was so angry that he stomped the floor to pieces, eager to find out the real murderer and cut the body into pieces.

With the influence of these bad public opinions, the recruitment of the Evil Dragon Pirate Group was poured with cold water, and there were many fewer people coming all of a sudden. Moreover, many of the deceased's original subordinates also chose to quit. For those who are leaving, Donk is too lazy to stay.

Tang Ke was angry, and the surname Suo stopped recruiting. He paid for the burial of the pirate leader, whether outsiders believed him or not, he still did his favor.

"Hehe, it's so happy, it's so happy. Looking at Donk's cannibalistic expression, he must be angry to death. In a dark corner, Aror lurked in it, peeking at Donk as he passed by, secretly happy in his heart. He is the mastermind behind the murder and planting incident, and he has planned carefully and carefully implemented it, leaving no trace.

Aror first let his pirate fleet leave openly to clear his name. Then, he stayed with a few henchmen, dressed up in disguise, covered his head and face, and hid his identity. Based on Donk's current situation, he analyzes the things that Donk doesn't want to see the most, and then implements them. One move was struck, and it worked immediately, causing Donk a big problem.

Although he pit Donk hard, Aror is not satisfied, compared to the humiliation he suffered yesterday, the pain that Donk suffered today is too small, not even one ten-thousandth! He's going to stay here and carry out a second, more vicious plan.

Aloel returned to her lodgings, and inside, the lights flickered, shining on several sinister faces. As the saying goes, things gather by like, people by groups, and Aror's right-hand men are also vicious and ruthless characters.

"You should really look at Donk's face, it's wonderful. Looking at him made me feel more comfortable than tasting wine. Aror said with a smile, unbuttoning his black robe and throwing it on the back of his chair.

"Captain Arlor's methods are really clever, and a stupid person like Donk will have to be planted in your hands sooner or later. When the time comes, the treasures and magic ships on his body will naturally be yours. The men all stood up, one of them complimenting, others smirking or agreeing.

"I hate him, but I can't lose my mind, because I know that if I lose my mind, I can't do anything. The so-called anger should be as cold as the ice of the cold winter moon. Arrol said gloomily, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, his gaze was fleeting, and he returned to his previous state of pleasure, "Don't worry, if you can really clean up the thorn, what benefits will you get." I will not do you any wrong. But you also have to be mentally prepared, Donk is extremely difficult to deal with, and there are a lot of powerful hole cards hidden, we are secretly stumbling, and the chance of killing him is not high. ”

"Hehe, whether it is successful or not, we will try our best to help you."

Aror nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "Did you get the colored fishbone I wanted?" Donk was looking for this kind of thing, and it seemed that he wanted to configure some kind of potion. If I can get it, I'll be in a big problem for him. ”

"How dare you live up to your orders, commander, I got a piece." The person who spoke reached into his sleeve and took out a beautiful seven-colored fishbone, "I was looking around for news, and I happened to meet a person who was going to get a colored fishbone to sell to Tang Ke, I quietly followed him, and then ...... Hey, hey, got it. ”

"Great! God help me. Arloel took the colored fishbone in his hand, his eyes full of brilliance, "You've been with me for so long, you should be able to figure out what I can do with this colored fishbone, right?" ”

The other people looked at each other a few times, and one of them replied: "Do you still need to ask, since Tang Ke wants to use colored fish bones as the material for the potion, we will naturally put some poison into it, and it is colorless, tasteless, and the poison with the fastest effect!" ”

"That's right." Aror smiled and nodded, and put the colored fishbone under the lamp, "You guys do it." Drill a small hole in this colored fish bone and stuff the poison powder into it. ”

The day after the framing incident, Tang Ke, who was in an unhappy mood, finally ushered in a happy thing. He used to let out his mouth to buy colored fishbones, and now he has bought three. In fact, colored fish bones are not a sky-high material, only worth a few hundred gold coins, but they are relatively rare and difficult to buy.

Three colored fish bones mean that you can absorb the resurrection fountain three times, which is enough for the time being.

Donk decides to absorb the Sea Spring in Magic Horn Harbor and leave here. The task of mixing potions naturally fell on the goblin Norman, who had already had one experience, and the second concoction was more convenient. Tang Ke was anxious to absorb the Resurrection Spring, and although he didn't know how to mix potions, he still watched from the sidelines.

"Hey, why is the color of this colored fishbone powder slightly different from last time, a little lighter." Norman grinded all sorts of ingredients into powder, holding the powder of colored fish bones in his hand, and there were other miscellaneous powders on the table.

"It's just a little lighter, it should be fine." Tang Ke said indifferently that the matter of absorbing the Resurrection Fountain had diluted his anger at the "poisonous scorpion".

Norman cautiously put the powder in front of his nose, sniffed it twice, shook his head, and didn't seem to notice anything unusual.

"If you're cooking, it doesn't matter. But the first rule of alchemists in medicine is to be extremely careful, many potions, the slightest mistake can cause a big explosion. This potion contains strange energy and has a strong decomposition effect, if you don't do it well, this potion will decompose everything it touches, which is more powerful than sulfuric acid. ”

"Is that an exaggeration, it's just that the powder is a little lighter." Donk didn't care.

"Commander, in my opinion, you should avoid it. After all, 'touching' is not so fun. Norman made an explosive gesture.

Donk saw that Norman was exaggerating, so he regarded it as a big deal, and he hesitated for a moment, considering whether to give up this colored fishbone powder, but he was really unwilling to give up just because the color was a little lighter.

"You go ahead and blend. If something happens, I can save you. Donk finally decided.

"Then I'll start, I hope I don't want to make an explosion, I don't want to lose another ear." Norman shrugged his shoulders and continued grinding, powdering several other ingredients as well, then propping up the crucible and pouring the ingredients into it one by one, controlling the order and mastering the heat.

At the end, the powder of the colored fish bones can be put in.

A pot of liquid was pale blue and swirled on its own, with a faint green smoke floating on its surface. The porcupine stings and rat spleens that had just been thrown in had been devoured by the medicinal soup and turned into nothing. If you add the powder of colored fish bones, the light blue liquid will change color again.

Norman glanced at Donk before he had the courage to throw the colored fish bone powder into the pottion.

"Sting!"

When the colored powder touches the medicinal soup, it bursts of colored fluorescence, like sparks that erupt after igniting gunpowder. The medicinal soup boiled, the surface tumbled and jumped, and huge bubbles bubbled out and then burst.

"Oh no, this shouldn't be the case if it's done right!" Norman yelled.

Tang Ke stared at the vision in front of him, and the medicinal soup became more intense, a green glow erupted on the surface, and a sour smell wafting out of his nose, as if he was about to explode. He saw that the situation was not good, and with a push of his palm, several sword qi flew out, and his hand rolled again, and the sword qi turned into a soft air mass, wrapped the crucible, and broke out of the window. At the same time, he stretched out his other hand and stepped back, and four sword qi sliced through the wall in unison.

"Let's go!"

Tonk grabbed Norman's shoulders and jumped out of the boxy gap.

Then I heard a bang outside, and the cauldron exploded violently, and even the sword qi was dispersed. The green medicinal soup was scattered in all directions, and all the objects that touched the medicinal soup were corroded, and this was the third floor, and there were people riding horses on the road below. The medicinal soup fell on the horse's head, and the horse raised its neck and roared, and half of its head disappeared immediately, killing him on the spot. The dead horse ran a few steps forward and staggered to the ground, causing the horse's hair to stand on end.

Donk made a quick decision, and after breaking through the door, he broke through two walls in succession, and then he stood still, and looked ahead in horror. The green potion corroded the room just now, and even the walls were mostly broken.

Norman gasped for breath, touched his remaining right ear, and said with palpitations, "Fortunately, the ear is still there." ”

The lingering power of the medicinal soup did not stop, still corroding the objects it touched, making bursts of stinging sounds, like a swarm of crazy termites gnawing at it.

"Why did it go wrong?" Donk asked, he was really a little distressed about the colored fishbones, this material was hard to find.

"I know that this potion will be of great use to you, the head of the regiment, so I mix it very carefully, and I am careful in every step, for fear of making mistakes. I dare to pat my chest and promise that the problem is not with me. There should be something wrong with the material. ”

"Is it the painted fish bone?"

"I just thought something was wrong with the fishbones."

Tang Ke frowned tightly and was silent, his mind raced, thinking of yesterday's planting incident, and felt that something was wrong.

"This accident is most likely not an accident, but man-made. Someone deliberately tried to harm me. ”

"Who could it be?" Norman rubbed his hands together and looked at him with a menacing look.

"I don't know, maybe it's an assassination organization like the Thousand Faces Knife, maybe someone looks at me unpleasantly." Tang Ke shook his head, "It's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows." It's really a wise saying, I'm not afraid of fighting the enemy head-on, but when I encounter this kind of enemy who likes to stumble secretly, it's a real headache. I'll have to stay here for a day, and I'll have to absorb the Fountain of Resurrection. On this day, let the brothers be careful, and find out the news by the way. If I catch that 'poisonous scorpion' by the tail, I'll make him regret it!" Let's see if he's vicious, or if I'm vicious! ”
