Chapter 53: The Elixir of Youth in the Quest Game (8)
Nicole was laughed at inexplicably by the clown and looked up in confusion.
"I'm blessed by another NPC and immune to the effects of the potion, if you rub it, we'll be found by the Red Mosquito." The clown downplays his own business and clearly doesn't want to say anything more.
Nicole understands that in fact she is very curious about how the Joker gets the buff of potion immunity, but she is also sensitive to the fact that the Joker's mood is not very high when he says this.
- Maybe it has something to do with the blood on her body, but I'd better not reveal the scars.
Nicole pursed her lips and wanted to say something to make the clown happy, but her eyes suddenly lit up when she touched something in her chest.
How did I forget this?
She happily took out the things she kept in her arms, and sold an official before offering the treasure: "Guess what I found on the third floor?" β
The clown looked at the messy paper and raised his eyebrows: "Look at you specially took it out...... Is it related to my mission? β
Her task is to find the cause of death of a big white goose as she told Nicole and others before.
"Bingo!I found a log book on the big boss's desk!"
Nicole put the parchment and the book that Burstgun had taken to the ground, "And the book that Burstgun found, saying that there is a way to kill mosquitoes." It's all up to you, hehe. β
The clown smiled and said, "How can the Burst Gun be willing to give you the book?" β
Just as similar people have a sense of each other, the Joker doesn't think Cracker will willingly hand over the book for nothing.
Hearing this, Nicole pouted: "If he hadn't been rubbing time upstairs, he wouldn't have let you be chased by mosquitoes, so let's see if there is a ...... for dealing with mosquitoes in that book."
Nicole was silent in the middle of her speech - because she heard Rice's voice!
ββ¦β¦ Joker, clown, don't hide anymore, my dear apprentice, where are you? β
Rice's voice came from far and near, and he seemed to know the Joker's position very well.
Nicole was shocked and quietly gestured with her mouth: How did the mosquitoes find you?
It stands to reason that the mosquito sucking agent on the clown should not work.
The clown shook his head at her and whispered, "It's not a red mosquito." "Because there is no buzzing sound of red mosquitoes in the surrounding area.
β¦
"I have to say that I miscalculated, the blood on your body came from that stupid goose, yes, it must be so, otherwise why can't my little cutie find you?"
"You're sad that it's dead, hahaha, don't blame me, who told that goose to go to the royal capital, isn't it good to stay with the greatest pharmacist...... You feel very uncomfortable that your friend died in front of you, and you don't even want to take revenge on me? β¦β¦ It's a pity that you don't necessarily know, yes, you certainly don't know, who made you not good at learning? The blood has a unique aroma, and although it is an immune drug, it is especially noticeable in our pharmacist's nose...... Actually, I should have smelled it a long time ago, it smelled very special, but I'm old and my memory is not good......"
Rice's chatter gradually weakened, not because the volume became smaller as he walked away, but because he seemed to be distracted and annoyed, so that even the interest in speaking had disappeared.
Nicole and the Joker didn't dare to move, because through the copper ornaments next to the stone pool, they saw Les standing in the doorwayβthe only exit from the room.
β¦
"Are you going to come out on your own or do you have my pet go and invite you?" Les relented, unhurried, and said to the seemingly empty room.
"If you don't want to see your friends die in front of you again......"
The Joker has already stood up when she hears this, and Nicole bites her lip and clasps her knees to hide behind the stone pool, because the Joker tells her that "this is her own business and should be solved by herself".
"Mr. Rice." The clown leaned over without changing his face, ""
"I guess you need me for the potion you made?"
Rice: "Unfortunately, you're wrong, I'd rather drain your blood and stain your dress red than make you into a potion." β
"The blood of a young girl and the blood of the neutralization of the potion, it is really the most beautiful dress, I will definitely keep it well."
"Perverted." Nicole couldn't help but whisper, she thought the old boss was a madman.
Les slammed his cane twice on the ground, summoning the red mosquito who was still looking for the clown.
"Buzz" "Buzz"
When it was too late, the Joker threw himself in front of Less in three steps and two steps, and snatched Rice's cane while he was stunned.
"Now!" The Joker let out a loud shout and swung his freshly arrived cane at Rice's knee.
"You ......"
"Damn it!"
Nicole and Les spoke at the same time, but Rice's outbursts overshadowed Nicole's exclamation.
"Don't hesitate to go first, the red mosquito is coming." The Joker knocked Les to his knees and pulled the stunned Nicole to run away, and Les roared behind him:
"Stop! No one dared to do this to the great Les! I'm going to get you ...... Who is it, who touched my treasure chest with a dirty finger? There are still people who are delusional about youth medicine! Red mosquitoes? Red Mosquito! Stop looking for that girl, go get the thief! I'm going to use the most vicious potion on him!" β
Nicole's scalp itched from Lesde's roar: "What's the matter? β
"Someone has moved the treasure chest in the basement."
"Is it a split gun?" Nicole said, "Boiled water is looking for you like me, and I won't go to get the treasure chest, it's definitely a burst gun." Okay, I said how did he give me the book so happily, so he was paying attention here! β
The clown was calm as usual, and said humorously: "Thanks to him, now Mr. Rice's hatred has shifted." β
"Hmph, he's cheap!" Ni can complete the task immediately for the Burst Gun, "Then we will be a shield, and he can figure it out!" β
"Not necessarily."
Nicole: ???
"There doesn't necessarily have a potion of youth in the treasure chest." The Joker understated, seeing that Nicole still didn't understand, and she added: "You think about your mission, if Mr. Rice has the elixir of youth in his hands, he doesn't have to risk offending the Duke to arrest her daughter." β
"Then what if Les catches him and doesn't refine medicine?"
The clown glanced at her amusedly: "It's not used to refine youth elixir, is it used to be his little daughter-in-law?" β
Nicole touched her head and giggled, and then she asked, "Where are we going now?" β
"The apprenticeship room on the second floor, boiled water should be waiting over there."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
What's next, what's next?
Nicole shook her bulky head, terrified to find that her memory had deteriorated, yes, she was just a dying old lady now, and it was normal for her to have a bad memory......
Nicole, who was thinking like this, had blurred eyes and wiped them with her hands, only to find that she was crying again.
Later, there is nothing to remember, the Blaster breaks into the apprenticeship room with the mosquito, and he angrily asks the Joker why there is no youth potion in the basement, and the Joker agrees to lure the Red Mosquito away under his step. Then Boss Les arrived, holding a bottle of indigo reagent.
Nicole and Boiled Water didn't know what the potion was doing until Burst Gun found herself unable to leave the game.
