Chapter 18: Maya, the Alchemist
When you hear that there is a turning point, the pit knows that there is a drama. But when he heard the system prompt, it was a different feeling, and he immediately chose to accept: "What is the crisis of the dwarf clan?" ”
"Terran! Although you choose to help the dwarves, until you really contribute to the dwarves, I swear that I will not let you get close to the dwarven lands! Blake was halfway through speaking, when he suddenly stopped, his eyes drifted, as if he sensed something, and then sped up his speech, "Oh no, there are a lot of qi coming here, since you choose to help the dwarf clan, then I, Blake, can't die so easily, first avoid the difficulties in front of me!" Terran, you come with me! ”
Seeing Blake's stern expression, he understood it. The demons actually got the news so quickly and sent a chaser. Pit looked at Blake, who had already walked out, and hurriedly followed him onto the street.
Blake is not the drunkard he was a few hours ago, his tiny body is getting taller and taller. I don't know if if he hadn't come to this town today, what he saw in front of him would have happened, and if there would have been a group of demons chasing down a dwarf. But in any case, the direction of the story has changed, and he must take the initiative to catch up.
The pit doesn't know where Black is going, and follows it all the way until he comes to an ordinary-looking NPC house. The residential houses are single-storey, surrounded by a wall, with only a main entrance, and the inside is not visible from the outside. He didn't know why Blake brought him here, according to common sense, it was safest to leave the town now, did Blake think that the most dangerous place was the safest place?
Knock twice on the iron door, and the voice of a female NPC can be heard inside. Although the pit used to be pure and lonely when he played games, after hearing this soft voice, Blake's eyes have changed.
The iron door soon opened from the inside out, and what I saw in the pit was a one-meter-six tall Devil Clan NPC, with a relatively simple appearance and nothing prominent, of course, a group like the Devil Clan, it is difficult to distinguish which ones are good-looking with the aesthetics of ordinary people.
"Blake? What are you doing here? Come in first, uh...... Who is this? The female NPC's name is Maya, and she has a white floral apron around her waist, and the first thing she sees when she opens the door is not a tall pit, but a short Blake. It seems that Blake is a frequent guest.
"Let's go in first, Maya, close the door." Blake and Maya seemed to have a good relationship, and walked straight through the door. But the pit was different, seeing a woman talking to him, even though it was just an NPC, his face turned red all of a sudden, nodded, his body stiffened around Maya, and walked inside, more than a grade worse than Blake's natural carefree and easy.
The iron door closed, and three members of different races entered the house. Compared to other devils, Blake's attitude towards Maya is diametrically opposed, he found a small low stool and sat down, and said, "She is Maya, I was injured and came to the Nightmare Continent, she saved me." She is different from other demons, she is very kind-hearted. Don't worry, those hateful demons won't find here! Because Maya is an alchemist. ”
Alchemist, as soon as you hear the name, you know that it is a sub-profession. The pit doesn't have a subclass yet, and he doesn't know if the demons of the demon clan can find what they have to do with the alchemist. He didn't dare to turn his gaze on Maya, so he had to turn his puzzled gaze to Black.
Blake looked back and forth at Maya and Pit's faces, as if he understood something, and sneered, "Terran! You're even shy when you see a woman! Are you a man? Scold! We dwarves don't have this problem! ”
Maya suddenly looked shy. Blake laughed twice before explaining to the pit: "Maya is an excellent alchemist, she can make a kind of medicinal powder, and after applying it to her body, she can hide the smell of her body. Maya, is that kind of powder still there? ”
"Yes, I'll go get it." Maya immediately turned and left. It is said that the women of the demon race like the strong, and from the look of love in Maya's eyes, it can be seen that she should like the dwarf Blake, which may be what the vulgar call cross-racial love.
"Terran, sit down, Maya will be safe here, and those demons won't know our whereabouts." Blake is relieved, and it seems that he also has a certain crush on Maya.
After a while, Maya took a yellow powder called [Deodorant Powder], she gave Blake a bottle, a bottle to the pit, and said, "These are the last two bottles of medicinal powder, if you don't come, I plan to go out tomorrow to collect medicine." ”
Pit looked at the effect of the deodorant powder - 2 hours to cover up its own flavor so that it was not detected. This powder can be used to prevent enemies from tracking and is an essential item for the Assassin class. It's just that I didn't expect it to be used to evade the tracking of demons. The pit was immediately used at Black's signal, because when they left the scrapyard, Black noticed that the demons had come to the town.
"Sonorous!" At that moment, there was a heavy knock on the door, followed by a male duck's voice shouting, "Inside! Open the door! ”
This roar suddenly made the pit and Blake, who had just sat down, stand up and say in unison: "It's the demons!" ”
"Blake, you go to the underground warehouse first, I'll deal with it here, you will be fine with the powder!" Maya's face was scorched, and although she came from her own kind, she was more worried than Blake.
"It's too wretched!" Blake let out a low roar and trembled with his hammer, as a dwarven warrior, since he had to escape from the demons, this made him feel humiliated. But in the end, he still chose to hide first, not only as a delaying tactic, but also because if the demons found out that Maya was with them, then Maya would also be killed. The Demon Race is not a united and friendly race.
"Follow me!" Blake is familiar with Maya's home and immediately takes the pit to the underground warehouse, while Maya takes care of it above.
Blake and the pit came to the underground warehouse, where the air was very dry and filled with the smell of mixed medicine, and on both sides of the warehouse, there were many medicine cabinets. If you open a drawer casually, you can see a kind of medicinal herb, from small to low-grade medicinal herbs to high to rare medicinal herbs. I didn't expect that there was such an alchemist in a border town.
Blake looked around and said, "Maya is an excellent alchemist, and she didn't live in this town. But one day she heard that there were many precious medicinal herbs near the Dream Relic Continent, so she came to this border place. On that day, I was injured and came from the Nightmare Continent to the Nightmare Continent and met Maya. It was Maya who saved me, she was kind-hearted, she didn't look down on me because I was a dwarf, she took good care of me, and my injuries were healed quickly.
Maya is a grandmaster-level alchemist, and she also has many strange medicines. During the time I recovered, she told me a lot about her, she always wanted to take in an apprentice and pass on her life's experience to him, I am a forger myself, and I am not good at alchemy, so I have no chance to do alchemy. Alas, after all this time, she has not found a ...... with good qualifications"
When talking about Maya, Blake gushed endlessly, and from his words, the pit only captured a little information related to the mission, that is, Blake was injured when he came to the Nightmare Continent. The pit couldn't help but be big, because until now, Blake hadn't said anything he needed his help with, or what crisis the dwarves were in.
"Blake, is Maya safe up there?" Almost 3 minutes passed, and Pit was not really worried about Maya's safety, but to interrupt Blake's endless talk about Maya, like talking about his first love when he was young.
Blake shook his head, he looked very relieved: "Maya, as a grandmaster-level alchemist, her own strength is higher than mine, don't worry." She saved me again this time, and as a warrior of the dwarves, I must repay her well. ”
After a while, the devil NPC Maya, who is not good-looking, is stronger than Blake? It's really a little unbelievable, but after knowing it, he is also relieved.
Until another ten minutes later......
"Maya hasn't come down yet, I'll go take a look!" Blake vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and got up and said to the pit.
"I'll go too!"
After saying that, the two of them cautiously ascended the steps leading to the ground, opened the secret door at the entrance of the underground warehouse, and looked out through a crack. At this time, the whole room is very quiet, but the quieter it is, the more people have a bad feeling.
Blake pushed the secret door hard, came up from the ground, and walked cautiously towards the courtyard.
"Mayan !!"
