Xiao Chen took out the two unused turbans from his pocket and observed them carefully, "But this turban looks rough, it should be made of the lowest coarse cloth, and then dyed a little color, there is no magic script on it, there is no magic circle, and I can't feel any magic at all." ”

"Your thinking is limited, not everything will involve magic, the magic circle and those things require a huge cost, who would use it on such a large scale. Luo Ling took one of them and looked at it for a while, first at the firelight, then tugged hard, and finally put it on her nose, "Found it! It smells." ”

Xiao Chen also picked up one and smelled it, and sure enough, there was a faint fragrant smell, mixed with some herbal smells, "But I can't smell it if it's a little farther away, and I don't feel anything when I smell it." ”

"Don't you think the air in the middle of the crowd is full of this smell?" Luo Ling said after taking two deep breaths, "That means there must be some way to bring out this smell." ”

Xiao Chen analyzed: "At first, it was quite normal for everyone to wear headscarves, but it was slowly wrong when someone took the lead and started dancing. The biggest difference between before and after is that these people sing and dance, and their bodies exude heat...... Is it a matter of heating?"

Luo Ling lit a small flame at her fingertips, and then put a headscarf on the fire to slowly warm it, Xiao Chen leaned over to smell it, and sure enough, a smell that was several times stronger emanated from it.

Xiao Chen only took a few puffs, and he felt that his heartbeat was a little faster, and his body had that feeling of being ready to move again.

"That's it!" Xiao Chen stabilized his emotions and deduced, "It doesn't have the slightest magic fluctuation, it seems to be a special potion." Judging from the origin of the cloth towel, could it be that someone took the opportunity of the palace to hold an event and engage in some kind of conspiracy?"

Luo Ling recalled, "The guard said that these people would eventually gather in the market area for a bonfire. If someone is engaged in any conspiracy, Bacheng is in that position. ”

"Then should we ......" Xiao Chen looked at Luo Ling.

"Of course, if we don't go to find out, how can we rest assured? Yu Gong, we don't know what kind of fate these innocent people in front of us will face, and we don't know if the conspiracy will hurt our companions. ”

"Ha, the hero sees the same thing. Let's go!"

Meditation on the world.

Tasia sat on the bed in a daze in her room, cuddling a pillow. Apparently he hadn't recovered from the shock he had just had.

Xiao Chen's distraction, he came over with a cup of hot tea, and said, "Come, take a sip and suppress the shock." ”

"How's it going out there?" said Tasia, with a look of concern.

Xiao Chen sat on the sofa in the room and said, "My guess is right. Someone was out there...... "He told Tasia about the characteristics and symptoms of the potion found outside.

"I always felt like I'd heard this symptom there......" Tasia thought.

Xiao Chen said: "According to what we said there, this medicine should be a stimulant, which makes people in a particularly high state. ”

Tasia's eyes lit up and she said, "I remember." I heard that on the orc plains in the north, there is a plant called red thread grass, which is ground into powder after drying and heated with fire, which will have a strong excitement effect.

It turns out that when the orcs fought against the Purple Eagle Empire, they often used this as a stimulant. However, it was later discovered that the red line powder would completely unruly the orc warriors, and if the wind was not in the right direction, it would motivate the warriors regardless of whether they were friends or enemies. Often, not only your own side is crazy, but the enemy is also crazy. The actual combat effect is not good, and there are often some examples of battles that make people cry and laugh, so the orc tribes slowly abandon this medicinal powder. ”

Xiao Chen was puzzled: "Something from the orc tribe, it is not easy to smuggle it through the empire into the kingdom. ”

Tasia said: "This is not necessary, I heard that the north of the empire also produces red thread grass, and some imperial merchants will refine red thread powder and sell it to orcs. The level of alchemy craftsmanship in the empire is much higher than that of the orcs, and it is said that the red line powder produced in the empire is considered the top product in the orc empire, but it is more popular than the orcs themselves. ”

"Didn't you say that orcs don't need this on the battlefield?" Xiao Chen said strangely.

"However, some orc shamans use red thread powder in witchcraft rituals, which stimulates the life energy in the bodies of those around them, allowing the shaman's witchcraft to achieve better results. There is also the fact that the orcs are aggressive, they will use this in duels to make both sides of the duel have fun, and they will also use it in the gladiatorial arena to make those beasts go crazy and the gladiatorial fights will look better. Anyway, it's all some crude usage, and I've heard it as an anecdote in aristocratic circles. ”

"Could it be that someone is going to cast a spell in the royal capital, and use these people gathered together for the New Year as materials? If the required array is so big, the effect of the spell must be terrifying, right?"

"It's sensational. The king has many masters led by two sages, who dares to do such a thing in the king's capital. Sasso, the Sage of Time, and Benegas, the Sage of a Thousand Swords, are simply not something that such sneaky guys can afford to mess with. Tasia got up from her bed and circled around the room.

She analyzed them one by one: "Even the people of the empire dare not do this in the royal capital, this will lead to a full-scale retaliation of the kingdom, and the two sides have just ceased war, and they need enough time to breathe." The southern city-states are full of business, and they will not do such things. Orcs are even more impossible, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and they still understand this truth. And even if the Sage comes to do such a thing, it is very likely that there will be no return, after all, the Sage is still a human being, and no matter how powerful the Sage is, it will fall if he is surrounded by many masters. ”

"It's not so easy to guess which forces the opponent belongs to, after all, what we see is just what is on the table. Xiao Chen touched his chin and said, "As for the executor, there are only a few possibilities left, either the other party is a madman who is not afraid of death, and he came here with the intention of ending up together." Either the other party's spell will not have any obvious traces, and he will be able to slip away before the Sage arrives. Either...... He knew that not even the Sage could stop him. For example, what is the Sage involved in......"

"But even if there are no Sages, there will be several great magicians like Master Kona. There were also several great knights and great swordsmen in the Praetorian Guard, not to mention the Temple of Nature, as well as the Priests of Roland. Is that really possible?"

"Those turbans were issued through the city guards, and the main messenger behind this is only afraid that there are tentacles in the city guards or the palace, and the magic power is very vast. ”

"Are you still going, then? It seems that there is a very dangerous situation involved. She stopped and looked at Xiao Chen and asked seriously.

"Of course!"

"Oh well. You quickly put the distractions back so that you can use your full strength outside. Tasia walked up to him, bowed her head, and said, "Be careful. But no matter what happens, I, I'll be with you. ”
