1149 Witch of the Wilderness's Mandate 6
Hayley stared at his dignity and felt like things were starting to magical.
And the person concerned, no, is the pig in question, and he hasn't reacted yet.
The musician's cloudy eyes were cloudy, and he was lightheaded, and he vaguely realized that something was wrong - this wine shouldn't have been so fast, and just now, he actually felt like he was traveling through a time tunnel, and he wanted to vomit.
He glanced at Hayley, intending to ask her why she was looking at him the way she did.
As soon as the words came out, it turned out to be a series of embarrassing snorts.
The musician was visibly stunned.
Referring to the tearing sound he had just heard, he quickly thought of a possibility......
Won't it ......
With a slightly panicked gaze, he withdrew from Hayley's face, swept the flask on the road, and finally looked at his hand, which could no longer be called a hand, it was two pig's trotters, and below the sharp corners were over-inflated steamed buns, bloated and ugly.
The musician shuddered and stood to his feet.
He didn't bother to explain anything to the "brother and sister" opposite, and quickly rummaged through his jacket pocket, which was the one he used to put the baton.
"It seems that your hands are not very handy."
Lan Shuying smiled and lowered her eyes, added a cut of the wine in front of herself and Hailey, added a few ice cubes to it, and raised her glass.
Hayley's eyes widened, and this time she didn't dare to drink.
Knock knock knock.
After a moment, Lan Shuying wiped the wine stains from the corners of her mouth.
She hasn't changed.
That's wine from the same container! Hayley brought the flask over, but after three or two clicks, she didn't come up with any results, and wanted to take it apart and look at it.
The musician became more impatient, struggling to break free from his torn coat and turn his pockets out.
Bang, Bang!
The first sound was the baton that fell to the ground and was no longer cared for;
Then there's a bottle of weirdly colored liquid, which changes its brilliance in the light, is slightly viscous, and does not look like an ordinary product.
Because the cap was screwed on, the pig's trotters obviously couldn't open it.
The musician looked desperate.
He finally looked at Lan Shuyingβit was the wine she poured!
He had a problem drinking the first cup, and the second and third cups were drunk by the two of them, which was actually normal!
So, she actually knows everything......
"I guess you need a little help, Mr. Musician."
The stranger on the other side said so, with a cold irony in his calmness.
She was just laughing at him.
laughed at him for not being able to cheat people, but planting himself instead!
The musician wanted her to open the bottle for him, but why?
It was the two of them who almost turned into pigs.
β¦β¦
Lan Shuying looked at the liquid in the bottle.
The first thing she wants to do is to analyze its ingredients and efficacy.
It's a pity that she doesn't have the knowledge system of this world.
But it's not a big problem, this kind of thing is enough to guess, and she plans to scam him.
"This is the antidote to the Transfiguration Potion?"
She felt that the musician's performance was too anxious.
- If it's just a shapeshift, then he can pretend to be stupid, and when they're gone, he can take out the bottle in his pocket.
It occurred to her that this was the restaurant, and if the musician chose to turn to the waiter...... That's probably the same way...... According to common sense, if the guest occupies the box for a long time and does not leave, the restaurant will definitely send someone to check the situation.
Taking the antidote in such a hurry can only show that there will be more terrible consequences if you become a pig for a long time.
She wondered what would happen to the musicians after that.
But, instead, she wanted to know a real royal city from him, because the next step was to find some soldier and retrieve the Witch of the Wilderness's lost lighterbox.
The musician shook his head desperately, screaming miserably, as if begging for mercy.
Lan Shuying owed a debt on the chair and reminded: "This is not good, in order to express the sincerity of the treat, I booked the best box...... You screamed throat cut, and no one came to save you. β
Hayley witnessed his transformation into a pig, and saw that he was in a hurry to get the bottle, and also figured out the key to the matter.
She sneered and said, "It's better to smash it!" β
Bastard, he actually wants to turn them into pigs?!
She also does not discriminate against pigs, pigs are treasures all over their bodies, and they are delicious to cook...... The problem is, he's too ugly!! This treatment is almost hers!
Can this be forgiven?
Absolutely not!
The musician's mouth came out with a more rapid thump.
"You still want to quibble?!" Hayley raised the flask, and the remnants of the wine inside clanged, "You just offered to pour us wine!" The shape-shifting potion must be hidden in the pot! β
Lan Shuying's attitude was very kind: "As for me, I like to collect beautiful bottles the most, thank you for the meeting gift, the two of us still have an appointment, I won't accompany you for this meal." β
No, wait!
The musician jumped to stop her.
He was very funny now, his ill-fitting clothes hanging like rags on the outside of the pig's carcass, his two hind legs supporting him upright, his short front legs blocking their way, and trying to grab the antidote.
The bottle was tossed in Lan Shuying's palm and caught.
She threw it again, caught it again, and didn't let him touch it, so anxious that the musician sweated.
"Want it?"
The musician hurriedly nodded.
"I guess you have a lot more to tell us."
This is almost explicit:
Do you still want to become a human again? Let's exchange the information.
The two of them didn't get any deformation medicine, and they didn't get any deformation medicine, and they had no place to use the antidote in their hands, so they could only use it to blackmail him.
The musician was reluctant.
I saw that she threw the bottle especially high this time, the cap of the bottle rubbed the bottom of the chandelier, and the sound of friction was particularly harsh in the empty box.
His heart was about to go to his head, so he nodded quickly!
"Why don't you take an oath in the name of the goddess Hecty first?" Lan Shuying suggested with a smile.
The other party was stunned: "Huh? β
He pointed to his face with one of his front hooves and shook his head, looking dazed.
"I know you're not a witch." The advice he gave earlier was related to this, and Lan Shuying quickly understood what he meant, and said, "Since you are not, then you should be even more afraid of offending the goddess Hechty, right?" β
The musician was speechless.
The scene was deadlocked.
The person who did the wrong thing has a handle on the other side, and there may be some ulterior secrets, so he doesn't dare to answer easily.
The other side of the handle is bored waiting.
Hayley threw out the topic in silence: "How did you find out?" β
Lan Shuying motioned for her to bring the flask.
"Here's the trap button." She pointed to the ornamental pattern underneath the handle.
"I don't know if other flasks are designed this way, but this one is interesting, it has two passages, and there's a small storage space on the upper level that is connected to the handle, so that the person who holds the jug can stuff things in."
"And then, like this," she put her knuckles against the pattern, and saw the petals retract without making a sound, "hold it down and pour the wine, and the wine will merge with the powder he has put in, and it will become a potion." β
On the contrary, if she did not press this mechanism, the wine would go down the normal passage below, and the wine would come out, the kind she poured for herself.
The musician's fingers were nimble, and he was talking eloquently, trying to draw their attention, and in front of them, he shoved the powder into the jug without changing his face.
The small movements were all seen by Lan Shuying.
Of course, she couldn't let him spoil her own glass, so she took the flask away first, and the musician was obviously very confident in the mechanism of the flask, but she didn't expect that in the few minutes she took it and admired the pattern, she had already figured out the mystery of the mechanism.
Is it simple?
Yes, it's easy to say.
In fact, if this kind of pipe design is to be foolproof, it must be difficult for craftsmen.
Once you get the hang of it, the mystery becomes less appealing.
Hailey breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she had taken refuge in time.
β¦β¦
Minutes and seconds passed.
Lan Shuying got up and took an hourglass from the decorative shelf.
Watching the sand flow little by little to the bottom half, the musician really became more anxious, opened his mouth several times, closed it several times, and stared at the antidote.
"As a hillbilly who has just entered the city, I don't know much about this place, and it is rare to meet a warm and credible gentleman, but I didn't expect ......" Lan Shuying shook her head in disappointment and sighed.
She really doesn't lack time to see who's in a hurry.
I stayed up for another five minutes.
The musician chooses to throw in the towel.
He couldn't speak, so Lan Shuying poured a glass of water, wrote the goddess's name on the outside of the cup, recited an oath in the name of a musician, and finally asked him to press a handprint. This is what she learned during her time in Rabbit Village.
After a series of finishes, she fed him the antidote.
The musician reverts back to human form, and the whole person withers.
"What the hell are you ordering?" Lan Shuying asked.
"As you can see, it's the worst type of deformation powder......"
Hayley was curious: "Then what are the side effects of it?" β
The musician honestly replied: "Turning into a pig is just a prank, the inferior deformation powder has no other effect, if it is the best kind, if you don't take the antidote for ten minutes, it will start to corrode from the inside of the body......"
Lan Shuying suddenly said: "Corpse water? β
"Uh...... That's right, first the internal organs, then the flesh and hair, and finally all the bones turned into mucus. The musician gestured, and then swore solemnly, "I swear in the name of the goddess that I can only get the worst, and that is the last pack, if you don't believe it, you can come and search it!" β
The implication was that he could never drug them again.
"Hmph, next time, I'll cut your pig's trotters to make lo-mei!" Hayley threatened.
The musician wiped his sweat and raised his hands to show that he did not dare.
"Why are you so nervous when it's just a deformation?" Lan Shuying propped her chin and looked at him.
"I can no longer conduct or play, and I must not lose the ability to speak again! Otherwise, let this restaurant see me, a pig who can't speak...... The next time you see me, it will probably be at the dinner table tonight. He was first excited, then depressed.
"What does that mean?"
The musician sighed deeply: "You don't know when you first arrive, there are rules in Wangcheng, if you want to live here, you must work, no matter what profession you have!" Especially those of us locals who must not be unemployed, unemployment is not guaranteed, and it is easy to die......"
"So what exactly is your profession?"
The musician hesitated, and it wasn't until Lan Shuying was about to splash the glass of water that witnessed his oath that he spit out two words:
"Liar."
The two seemed to understand something.
Lan Shuying suddenly said: "I invited you to eat and drink, aren't these achievements?" Do you want to add spices to our wine? β
The musician blushed and explained: "No, that's something you brought up on your own initiative, not being deceived, this can't be counted...... If you agree to come out with me at night, and I'll take you to a place where the fee is charged, then you can complete today's target......"
"Or just use this pot of wine to fix us once?" Lan Shuying said.
"Hmm...... I thought that when you were transformed, I would take a little money from you and leave you an antidote, which would be ......."
Hayley threw an ice cube at him: "Shut up, bastard!" β
Lan Shuying asked, "What happens if a foreigner doesn't have a job?" β
According to the hypothesis just provided by the musician, if he does not meet the requirements of being a liar, as a pig, he will appear at the table, that is, he will fulfill the pig's mission - to be slaughtered, cooked, and eaten by the diners.
What about them?
"There is a grace period for outsiders, and you can stay in the royal city for three days, as tourists. After three days, you will have to find a job, when the hotel will no longer accept you for staying, the local family will not be so easy to talk to, you will be arrested and imprisoned for wandering the streets, and at the end of each month, the prison will deal with a group of prisoners who have not been ransomed. β
"And tonight, there is a performance at the Orange Festival called Death Chase, which in recent years has been performed by prisoners......"
Since the performance is prefixed with "death", it goes without saying that it is dangerous.
Lan Shuying looked at Hailey and shrugged: "I don't like to travel to this kind of place, and the three-day visa is too stingy." β
"That's it, I think too." The musician flatteringly seconded the motion.
Lan Shuying took a sip of wine to moisten her throat and asked, "How are your contacts here?" I have a friend who is also in Wangcheng, but I lost his contact information, as long as you can help me find him, the honorarium will definitely satisfy you. β
"Looking for someone? Who? Seeing that she didn't ask any serious questions, the musician felt relieved, patted his chest, and took a big bag posture: "Don't worry, there is no one in this city that I can't fool...... Uh, except for you! β
"A soldier." Hayley said.
Lan Shuying added: "But he has recently made a small fortune, and he may not look like a soldier, like a ......"
She paused slightly, recalling if the original fairy tale had mentioned the character of the main character. But she remembered that in the original book, the soldiers went to a small town, not a royal city.
"Like an upstart." Musicians are clearly interfaced.
Hayley smiled.
"It's easy to do, all the guys who want to come to Wangcheng when they get rich will go to the bar to brag, and he must have been there. What do your friends look like? The musician met her smiling eyes and realized that she didn't want to speak, so he smiled widely: "Oh, it's okay, he used to be a soldier, I remember!" β
At this time, someone knocked on the door of the box.
The aroma of food wafted in through the crack in the door.
"Please come in."
It wasn't the waiter who had ordered before.
The new one had a glazed look in his eyes, and he approached with a plate like a marionette.
