Chapter 197: Lilith (2)
Gui Xiaoqian held her breath, and in front of her was a shabby bench. The style of the bench is ancient, the large red brocade cushions on it have faded to gray, and there is a black stain on the seat on the left, I don't know if it is oil or blood.
In the corner of the room there was a row of shelves, the wood was so old that it seemed to fall apart when touched, and on the shelves were some large and small blue and white porcelain bottles, some with faded red paper labels, some with nothing.
The faint light in the room came from the skylight, and Gui Xiaoqian looked up, and through a narrow, dusty skylight, she saw the gray sky and withered branches.
How could it be? It's night......
Gui Xiaoqian hesitated for a long time, and slowly walked towards the shelf, at this time, she heard a human voice outside the curtain, she quickly stopped and went to listen carefully.
"What a rarity. ”
She heard the witch's passionate and defensive voice.
"What kind of wind is blowing to make the Lord of the Abyss here?"
"Lord of the Abyss, is this your new nickname for me?" a somewhat ruffian voice sounded, "but I like it. ”
Before he could finish speaking, there was a clattering sound, and a huge mirror that sounded like a dressing mirror shattered.
"Oh, I'm sorry, you know I've always had a lot of patience for breaking magical barriers. Outside, there was a voice of apology.
"It's nothing, it's just a starlight crystal wall worth 50,000 magic crystal coins, and I don't care about it yet. The witch said calmly.
"Fifty thousand magic crystal coins?hmm, I think I can pay you the dragon scales that my guard dog has faded. ”
"The dragon scales of the golden dragon are hard to come by, if Your Highness can really be so generous, I thank you here in advance. ”
There was another loud pop. Gui Xiaoqian was slightly startled. The voice seemed as if the entire room outside had been blown to powder, but she heard the witch say lightly: "Your Highness, what can't you say well? You didn't want me to go bankrupt this time, did you?"
"Merlin's spatial gates, hehe, Lilith, how much money have you made over the years? You're a lot richer than I thought. What's the matter, are you going to hide behind there and talk to me?" Pyrrh said with another loud bang, apparently not giving up on attacking the witch's defenses while he spoke.
"That depends on what His Highness wants to say to me. There was a hint of annoyance in the witch's voice, "If you don't continue to stop this senseless attack, I don't just have defensive weapons here. ”
"Hehe, you're threatening me, Lilith, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you've gained courage by hiding in the world. ”
"Of course I don't dare threaten you, my Highness. But how timid I am, I'm sure you know it well. I dare not be rude to you, but I can always run away again. Dear Highness, if this is your purpose, then as you wish, goodbye!"
Wait! Gui Xiaoqian was in a hurry, the witch had escaped, what should she do? Who is this Lord of the Abyss? If the witch has escaped, will he be angry with himself?
Gui Xiaoqian was so anxious that she couldn't help but reach out and open the curtain, but she didn't dare to open it completely, but just opened a small slit, just enough for her to peek outside.
Outside......
It's not a room, it's a hall.
Pitch black and ancient masonry walls, huge wall tiles with unknown patterns tattooed. The high dome was inlaid with various gemstones, and the five-colored light sprinkled down, bathing the entire hall in a light curtain.
In the center of the hall was a half-meter-high altar in the shape of a hexagon, and the runes on the altar flickered, as if some exquisite formation was running.
And that Lilith was standing in the center of the altar. She turned her back to Gui Xiaoqian, and it seemed that she hadn't discovered Gui Xiaoqian's voyeurism yet.
Unlike when Gui Xiaoqian first saw her, Lilith was wearing a very simple dress at the moment, wearing a black robe, and there was no decoration on her beautiful black curls, and from Gui Xiaoqian's point of view, she saw that the witch was not wearing a veil.
Gui Xiaoqian wanted to see the witch's face very clearly, but she was worried that the witch would find out and peep, so she had to endure the thought and look around instead.
There are six entrances to this hall, and the place where Gui Xiaoqian stands is one of these six entrances. However, the curtain she saw in the inner room was just a gray-white light curtain in the hall, untouchable and unconscious.
She saw that most of the other entrances were filled with a grayish-white curtain of light, except for the one opposite the witch. There, the light curtain at the entrance turned bright red, like a wall of blood, on which red transparent energy twisted and flowed.
Another loud bang sounded, and Gui Xiaoqian saw that the red light curtain trembled a few times, as if it was about to shatter.
The witch on the altar sneered, she took a few steps on the altar, stepped on a green rune, and Gui Xiaoqian saw that one of the six entrances suddenly lit up with a green light.
No, she's going to run away.
Gui Xiaoqian hurriedly walked out, wanting to leave behind the witch, but at this moment, she heard the Billie shout: "Wait!"
The witch on the altar stopped and sneered: "What, Your Highness is planning to speak well?"
"Not bad. I'm here to buy something for you, so come out and meet me. Bilje slowed his tone, "I swear by the poisonous flames of the abyss, I will get what I want from you in a fair deal, and I will not hurt you if both parties do not violate the principle of fairness." ”
"It wouldn't have been like this sooner. The witch turned around with a faint smile, and Gui Xiaoqian didn't have time to retract the entrance she came out of, so she had to get close to the cat's waist and hide under the altar.
"But Your Highness, this space gate is an old antique, and I don't think it will be used a few times after being tossed by you for a while. The witch began to bargain.
"Just say what you want, I'm in a hurry. Peret said impatiently.
"I want a canine tooth from your janitor puppy. ”
"You're greedy. Pyrrh sneered, "The golden dragon's canine tooth contains its special mana, you took that canine tooth, what else do I want this dragon to do?"
"That can't be said, your dragon has lived for tens of thousands of years, and even if I didn't want its canine teeth, you'd probably find a chance to slaughter it. I'm just booking in advance for a favor. ”
"Okay, I promise. Billie sneered and let out a long sigh, "I knew that I would have to have a lot of brains to deal with you. ”
"Forget it, honey, I know you love me. The witch chuckled and stepped on another rune.
The blood-red light curtain that blocked the entrance before disappeared, and was replaced by a gray-white light curtain, Gui Xiaoqian quietly poked out half of her head from behind the altar, and she saw a tall and good-looking man slowly walking in.
"Lilith, Lilith, I miss you so much. Billet stepped forward with open arms as if he were about to embrace a witch.
"For your sake, my dear, please stay under the altar. The witch's voice was gentle.
Bi Lie smiled disappreliantly, took a step back, and glanced casually in the direction where Gui Xiaoqian was hiding: "This is ......"
"Your Highness, what is the matter with you being so anxious to find me?" the witch asked first, stopping Pyrrhia.
Bi Lie paced two steps in place, and glanced in Gui Xiaoqian's direction again.
Gui Xiaoqian's heart beat like a drum and shrunk tightly behind the altar, praying that the Lord of the Abyss was just casually looking this way.
"Your Highness?" the witch urged.
Pyrrh stared at the witch a few times, and seemed to finally put aside his doubts: "Lilith, I'll ask you to buy ecstasy soup." ”
"What?" the witch raised her voice in surprise.
Gui Xiaoqian, who was hiding behind the altar, was also surprised. She still remembers that her roommate Willow had left a bunch of magical correspondence textbooks in her apartment. There is a beginner's guide inside, and there is a recipe for making ecstasy soup. Even the recipe she vaguely remembered, it was just such a simple potion, how could this Lord of the Abyss go to such great lengths to come to Lilith to buy it?
"Ecstasy soup. Lilith, haven't you been enjoying the world for so long that you've forgotten what you did in your old job?" said Billie, clasping his arms to his chest, impatiently.
"Haha, Ecstasy Soup? The witch couldn't stop laughing on the altar, and Gui Xiaoqian was a little worried about whether she would annoy the Lord of the Abyss.
However, that Bilie just stared at her coldly: "Have you laughed enough? ”
"Give me one more minute. The witch giggled, "My stomach hurts, Bilje, Bilee, you have today, hahaha." ”
"Lilith!" said Billie, patiently, "enough is enough. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll try. However, the witch's voice still had a smile, "Well, now tell me which goddess is so powerful that even you can't handle it." ”
"It's not a goddess, Lilith, throw away your stupid thoughts, I want ecstasy soup to do the right thing. ”
"Oh, isn't that world going to be bad? Tell me quickly, I'll move early and hide. The witch said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
"You have so many questions," said Bilje coldly, "when did the rules of your business include asking questions?"
"Ever since my business partner was the Lord of the Abyss?" the witch didn't seem to be afraid of the cold face of the Bitter, "If the potion I gave you would ruin my business in the human world, would I still sell it to you?"
Bi Lie snorted heavily: "It's really troublesome, don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with the world." ”
"Really?" the witch clearly didn't believe it, "it's not human, what else could it be? it can't be a counterattack......
The witch stopped in fright, "You didn't tell the truth, did you?"
Billie sneered: "Are you selling or not selling?"
"Hmph," the witch snorted softly, "I don't want to wade into these troubled waters. But everyone is an old acquaintance, and I can't help but give you this face. I can sell this ecstasy soup, but you have to promise that you will never let those people know that I sold it to you. ”
Bilje sneered, and it was a good answer.
The witch then walked down the altar and hugged each other: "Honey, are you in a hurry?"
"It's urgent. ”
"Okay, then I'll try my latest invention ......"
Gui Xiaoqian behind the altar had been listening intently, and suddenly there was no movement in front of the altar. She quietly looked over and noticed that at some point, an operating table appeared in front of the altar.
It's like a long white table like a common laboratory with all sorts of utensils, distillation flasks, catheters, and alcohol lamps...... Gui Xiaoqian could probably recognize a few of the above. But most of the things she couldn't name.
For example, a crystal skull was being measured in his hand, and the groove above the skull contained a green glowing liquid. And the small cauldron that splattered with a magma-like orange-red liquid, and the one that was wriggling...... A large glass jar that looks like a creature with a brain.
"What do you mean by that? yes, keep up with the times. Bilier put down the crystal skull in his hand and watched as the witch snapped her fingers and lit the alcohol lamp. The flame of the alcohol lamp is black, like a freshly extinguished candle emitting black smoke.
"No, it's not all my credit, the development of human technology has increased the understanding of witchcraft among witches and wizards. Previously they were confused by their demonic blood, but now they knew it was a door to a new world.
They studied witchcraft and dismantled it with human technology, so that potions could be sold around the world like Coke from convenience stores, and some potions could be used even by humans without mana. They are the ones who make witchcraft as popular culture, what can I say?
Criticize them for not respecting tradition? No, I gotta say, well done, kids. ”
Bi Lie shrugged slightly, "Speaking of which, I'm going back to Castlevania this time." They actually set up the wireless network in Castlevania, can you believe that texting people in Castlevania? This was unthinkable before. ”
"How did they get the wireless signal to penetrate the barrier?" asked the witch as she expertly inserted the ingredients. Gui Xiaoqian found that the ingredients put by the witch were much more complicated than the ingredients in the primer guide she read, maybe this was the recipe for the real Ecstasy Soup?
"I don't know, I don't have time to ask. But imagine that the convenience that only high-level demons could enjoy in the past is now a rotten street, hehe, I dare say that Castlevania is about to change the sky. ”
"Castlevania is in chaos, you seem to be happy?" the witch turned to look at Bileri.
"Do I have one?" said Pyrrhia.
"I need to know if the object of the ecstasy soup is a god or a goddess. The witch placed her finger on a flask and looked at Pyrrh inquiringly.
"Neither a god nor a goddess. Billet coughed, "It's a human. ”
"What?" cried the witch.
"What?" said Billie, taking a step back, "is there any difference?"
"You wasted my raw materials worth hundreds of thousands of magic crystal coins, do you say there is a difference?" the witch said through gritted teeth, "A human can use the ecstasy soup I boiled, are you entertaining me?"
"No, this human being is a little special, I think it's safer for you to come and boil it yourself. Bilier took a step back again, as if he feared that the witch would pounce on him and scratch his face in the next second.
"What humans are so special?" the console in front of the witch vanished, replaced by a large black iron cauldron with a simple stove made of stones underneath.
"Aren't you, just so hasty to be human?" protested Billie.
"If you don't want to poison him, that's it. The witch snorted, "Give me the name." ”
"High diving. Peret replied.
