Chapter Twenty-Five: The Potions Master
Bang!
Cole casually closed the car door, looked at Fan Haixi, who was shivering with cold after getting out of the car, wrapped up in his clothes, and secretly pinched a large handful of snow slag and stuffed it directly into his neck while he was unprepared.
Hiss~!
Fan Haixi shivered subconsciously, and the icy snow water flowed from his neck to his back, making him sneeze several times in a row, who had not fully recovered.
Since his last encounter with the Ghoul Lord, Van Heisy has not recovered. He was drained by the vampire at that time, and then he was eroded by the ghoul lord's corrupt aura, and his body has never recovered, so he hasn't been on a mission lately to recuperate.
After feeling the snow slag behind him completely turned into snow water, Fan Haixi didn't clean it up.
Let the snow soak your underwear. He grabbed a large piece of snow and shook it a few times, it's time to give this bastard a good look, when the uncle played this trick, your father hadn't given birth yet.
As soon as Cole saw Van Haysey's actions, he immediately flashed away, and then stood outside the villa and shouted, "Is Mr. Simon at home?"
Seeing this, Fan Haixi could only throw the snowball to the ground, after all, they were visiting the door, and due courtesy was still necessary. He tidied up his clothes a little, and then glared at Cole fiercely, this time he wrote it down, let's see later, it's still a long time!
The real old yin will let you know what it means to be cruel and stuff snowballs, which is a trick that children can only play with.
Soon, Simon came to the door of the villa and asked in some surprise, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Hearing this, Cole showed a bright smile, "Actually, we are also members of the Mystery Society, and we happened to pass by here this time, so we wanted to talk to the famous Mr. Constantine!"
Simon didn't believe what he said, and he happened to be passing by, but that didn't affect his performance in the slightest.
As the saying goes, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills!
He asked with a slight puzzle on his face, "Yes, my screen name in the Mystic Society is Konstantin, but how did you two find me?"
Cole avoided answering, and instead said to him, "It's snowing so hard outside, can we go inside and talk?"
Simon stared at him for a moment before stepping out of the way, and said with a wary expression, "Please come in!" and led the way down the hall.
Cole smirked at Van Heisy, then quickly followed. Van Haysy ignored him and silently followed behind.
He subconsciously observed his surroundings, an instinctive habit that had stood in the way of witchers for decades.
Something was wrong with this place, it seems, the five senses strengthened by the potion made him feel that something was wrong with this courtyard, and under the snow that kept falling snowflakes, something seemed to be moving all the time, and there were quite a few of them, so to speak.
Van Haysey looked at Simon with a look that was no longer as casual as he had just been, this Monsieur Constantine might not be as simple as they had thought it would be!
In front of the fireplace in the living room.
Simon poured a cup of hot coffee for each of the two uninvited guests, and after removing the chill from his body a little, he was the first to speak, "What the hell are you looking for me, I never remember any contact with them." ”
"Actually......"
"Actually, we are here for Mr. Lauber's business. Van Haysey interrupted Cole's words and explained directly to Simon that he was just going through the motions with Cole to make his first mission a perfect solution, but at the moment he was a little curious about the mysterious Mr. Simon.
He hadn't smelled it when he was outside, but now that he was in the room, he missed Simon's smell of potions.
This smell should be the smell of demonic weapon potions, yes, absolutely, that's the smell.
Before they got the Rune Twin Axe, every time they hunted demons, they would apply this potion to the blade to temporarily enchant the weapon, otherwise ordinary mortal soldiers would not be able to hurt the more powerful monsters at all.
Simon looked at them with some surprise, he had guessed everything, but he didn't expect them to come for Lauber, which was really interesting, he didn't answer directly
He asked, "Who are you, what does it have to do with Lauber, and what happened to him?"
"Unfortunately, Mr. Lauber was dead when we arrived, as for us. Van Haysey paused for a moment and said, "We're witchers! I'm Van Haysey, and he's my partner Cole. ”
"Witcher?Geralt like that?'s okay to play cards, the kind of bubble girl who cuts down monsters by the way?" Simon shifted his mind as he digressed the subject.
It's a coincidence, he just had some ideas and someone sent them to the door, which saved him a lot of effort, and he could try to get in touch with them, and at the worst he could learn more about the world.
Simon made up his mind in an instant, and was about to say something when Cole interrupted him with a smile on his face.
"That's right, we are demon hunters, we are in the dark but guarding the world, and we are fighting against all kinds of monsters every day, but we are not known, and we are silently a behind-the-scenes hero. ”
Cole kept boasting in a sigh-like tone, "Actually, Geralt is nothing in our industry, and the real witchers are all ......."
Syllable!
"Shut up!" Van Haysy couldn't hold back any longer, slapping him on the head, the idiot had disgraced the witcher's face, and it looked like he needed to get him back to the furnace and rebuild.
Cole was a little aggrieved and wanted to argue, but in Van Haysey's murderous eyes, he obediently lost the battle, and looked at him resentfully in the sofa.
Fan Haixi straightened his face, smiled apologetically at Simon before saying, "Actually, we don't mean anything else, we just want to know about Mr. Lawber's situation at that time, after all, his murderer has disappeared, and if we encounter it next time, we should have a precaution." ”
Actually, I don't know a lot. Simon replied as he quickly reviewed the whole thing, and told Van Haysy everything he knew as little as possible that did not involve himself!
Van Haysey and Cole listened carefully to Simon's review of the whole thing, and only after he finished saying did the two glance at each other vaguely, basically the same as they knew, and this matter seemed to have nothing to do with him.
They didn't come to Simon because they didn't have anything to do, two days ago, according to other witchers' internal reports, there seemed to be a few similar incidents in Warnal City, and the deceased seemed to have seen a faceless voodoo puppet before he died, and his head was completely missing after death, so they came to Simon to learn about the situation and see if there were any new discoveries.
Otherwise, Cole is also a witcher who has been passed down from the family for several generations, how could he say such frivolous and laughable things, but they are all acting, hoping to reduce Simon's precautions as much as possible, so that he will inadvertently show his feet.
Seeing that there was no receipt, Van Heisy drew his attention back to the potion, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak, and the atmosphere fell silent, except for the crackling of burning wood in the fireplace.
"Oh, by the way, I found two other props near Lauber's body, I don't know if Mr. Simon made them. Fan Haixi seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked.
Simon didn't understand what he meant for a moment, so he pondered and said, "I don't know if the gadgets I made are useful or not, but since Lauber is dead, it seems that they are useless." ”
"Actually, that little talisman still has some effect, it seems that Simon you still have a talent for making strange things. ”
"Actually, it's all about reading books and doing it casually, after all, no one taught me, and what I'm best at is making potions. Simon steered the conversation a little, and made up an identity for himself, which was not fictional, he really had a talent for making potions.
After all, it has been decided to make contact with this group of demon hunters, and the identity of a potions master is still very necessary, so that there is an excuse not to be too abrupt and suspicious when contacting later.
Fan Haixi's eyes lit up when he heard him say this, and he guessed correctly. This guy in front of him turned out to be a rare wild potion master, so it's worth paying attention to!
The two foxes looked at each other and smiled, both feeling that they had taken what they wanted from each other. Van Haysey was sure that the other party was a potions master, and Simon made up a good identity for himself.
"I wonder if I can take a look at your work?" asked Fan Haixi with fiery eyes.
Because with the development of the times, there are fewer and fewer professionals like this kind of potions, alchemy, and enchantment, and the exorcist is about to be cut off, otherwise he wouldn't be in a hurry because of the destruction of the alchemy double axe, and the people in the queue now don't know how many there are, and which round to get him.
Simon looked at Fan Haixi's fiery eyes, secretly proud, and sure enough, he guessed correctly, technical talents like this are in demand there. You don't see the alchemy refining masters in the previous life, all of them are angry, and they are not praised by people wherever they go.
He took out the potion from his trench coat and placed it on the table, motioning for them to take a look.
Fan Haixi was not polite, and directly took a bottle and held it in the palm of his hand.
I saw that the liquid in the bottle was red and transparent, and there was no impurity to be seen, and the appearance was excellent. He opened the bottle slightly, and suddenly a pungent and spicy sulfur smell came out of the bottle, and the whole person became hot.
Cole also picked up another bottle of potion casually, he stretched out his palm, ready to drop two drops out to see, their family has always inherited alchemy, and there are not many potions, and they are also very curious at the moment.
"Don't drop your hands!"
"Be careful!"
It's just that before he could drip out, Simon and Van Heisy were already roaring. Cole was startled and instinctively withdrew his hand, but the viscous liquid in the bottle had already shaken off two drops and landed on the table in front of him.
The table burned instantly, and Fan Haixi kicked the table out of the door when he saw that the situation was not good, and in this moment, the kung fu table was completely burned.
"Idiot! This is a fire glue, you dare to drop it on your hands, do you really think that you are a fire demon who is not afraid of fire?"
Cole looked at the table outside that had turned into slag but was still burning, subconsciously shrank his hand, and quickly closed the bottle, this thing is going to catch up with the gasoline napalm!
