Chapter 1683: Intimidating aura
Alfie's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then quickly dimmed, based on what he knew about Imperial Marshal Sebastin, it didn't seem to be a good talker, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as iron-faced and cold-blooded.
"That seems to be very little hope!" said Alfie, breathlessly. He didn't think he could impress Sebastian for helping to prepare the Potion of Destruction.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Master Madison was not so pessimistic, "At least hand over the Destruction Potion first, and let them try the power, what if there is a turnaround?"
"Uh, well, do as you say!" Alfie didn't want to hand over the destruction potion so early, after all, there was still almost a full night before the appointed time, and he could use this time to see if he could come up with other ways, at least to spread the word about the location where he was trapped. But the experienced Basra prison officers surrounded the place, and Alfie couldn't find any flaws at all, and couldn't even pass on his whereabouts, and it was simply wishful thinking to wait for someone to rescue her!
Now that Master Madison had handed over the potion of destruction first, Alfie had no choice but to agree.
Seeing that Alfie had no objection, Master Madison stood up and straightened his robe, slapped all the fireworks on it, and after confirming that it did not affect his appearance, he clapped his hands and called out loudly: "Is there anyone?
The door to the lab opened, and in walked in someone Alfie hadn't expected - Sean.
"Sean, why are you here?" Alfie asked, surprised, originally expecting it to be the wardens or simply Pat who came in, but he didn't expect it to be Sean, who hadn't been seen for a long time.
Master Madison was not too surprised, and explained for Sean: "Since I promised to accept Sean as an apprentice, I naturally took him with me to cultivate." The last time you left here, I said hi to the Academy of Magic and asked Sean over. Originally, he has been working for me in this laboratory recently, but today is a special situation, so I didn't call him over, I don't know what changes have happened to the situation outside, Pat actually sent Sean again. ”
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Alfie patted her head in embarrassment, it was here last time, - it was his amazing aptitude for pharmacy disguised as Sean that impressed Master Madison and agreed to take Sean as an apprentice.
After that, Alfie was busy investigating the corpse case, and put this matter behind him, but he didn't expect Master Madison to be a trustworthy person, even if he realized that he was put on a role by Alfie, he still kept his promise and officially accepted Sean as an apprentice, which is really gratifying!
However, what made Alfie feel strange was that Sean seemed to be a little abnormal at this time, looking straight ahead with blank eyes, as if he hadn't seen him at all, and there was no joy of reunion after a "long" absence, like a puppet lifeless.
"Sean?" Elfie reached out and shook it in front of Sean's eyes, but still didn't notice him.
"Poor lad, it seems that he is frightened by the wardens outside!" said Master Madison sympathetically.
The wardens of Basra have practiced a very evil technique that can create a kind of intimidating aura around them.
Master Madison has seen more than one of the same cases, any normal person in the intimidating aura of the Basra warden, can not last long, will be frightened by the cold aura on their bodies into this appearance, not to mention that there are a full hundred wardens outside the laboratory door, Sean can insist on walking here without being stunned, it is already super strong-willed.
"It's too much! Sean didn't commit any crime! Why did the warden do this to him?" said Alfie, indignant.
"Well, I'm afraid in the eyes of those wardens that he is one of your accomplices, after all, he was with you at the black market auction in the first place. Master Madison understood the reason for this after a little thought, "It's just that the wardens don't have any evidence now, and they can't formally arrest him, but intimidation is absolutely indispensable." No wonder Sean is here!"
"You mean the wardens didn't get any valuable information from Sean, but they still took the opportunity to punish Sean?" Alfie almost said "torture, torture, confession", but swallowed back in time. Seeing that Sean did not have the slightest scar on his body, it was obvious that the trauma he had suffered was not easy to detect mentally.
"This is a common method used in Basra Prison, but Sean can still walk into the laboratory on his own, indicating that the injury is not serious, and that it will be good to rest for a while when I have time to prepare a pair of healing potions for him to take them. Master Madison said unconcernedly. The mental trauma, which is extremely difficult for others to deal with, is a medicine in his hands.
"Is it really that simple?" Alfie asked suspiciously, looking at Sean's appearance, I'm afraid it can't be done with a pair of elixirs.
"If one pair doesn't work, it's two! my apprentice won't suffer in this regard!" said Master Madison, in a big way. With the support of a sanctuary-level pharmacist, he is so capricious!
"Are you sure? I think Sean is more like being controlled by a dementor-like magic than just being frightened. Alfie reached out and touched Sean's hand, and found that it was cold and full of cold sweat, but even then Sean did not react at all.
"Well, I want to see who is so bold!" Master Madison said angrily, then shook his head and said: "Alfie, you also have a certain amount of magic perception, you should be able to sense that Sean doesn't have any magic fluctuations, so you must be overthinking, he is just frightened, what a poor child!"
"Well, there's some truth to what you're saying. Alfie nodded and gestured to Master Madison, "Then what are we waiting for, let's get the Potion of Destruction for Sean to take away." In this way, he can leave this ominous place as soon as possible, and maybe out of the range of the warden's intimidating aura, he will be able to return to normal, at least to reduce this frightening as much as possible. ”
"Yes, yes, that's true!" Master Madison nodded busily. Although he was completely sure that he would cure Sean, it was always good to suffer a few minutes less sin.
Master Madison carefully placed the crystal potion bottle in his hand in Sean's hand, and instructed him: "Give this bottle of potion to Marquis Douglas immediately, and ask him to contact the marshal as soon as possible to check it." Remember, be careful. If you don't want the military headquarters to be blown up into the sky, you must not let the potion miss anything!"
"Well, I suddenly realized that it was so unreliable to hand it over to Sean like this, and if he was in such a state that he had to go wrong, we would all have to bury him!" Alfie exclaimed. He knew very well how powerful the potion of destruction was, theoretically comparable to a forbidden spell!
