Chapter 10: The dagger was a dagger coated in poison
Su Wen's bandaged right hand paused. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"You guessed it. ”
He said.
"Well, let me guess again......" Donald carefully poured the wine into his goblet, then gracefully took a sip on the holder, and smiled, "What's the big deal this time, the spies of the orcs, the ancient ruins of the northern snowfields, or a dragon entrenched in the mysterious valley?"
Su Wen frowned.
"I think it could be more serious than that......"
Indeed, perhaps the weight of the death mage is far less than the things that Donald just said in a teasing tone, but compared to them who are far away, the former's direct impact on Tridis City can be said to be countless times greater - therefore, the purpose of Su Wen's coming here this time is not to try to make a fortune on those cheating side plots like before, but his expression is more solemn than usual.
"Have there been any strange movements in the city lately, or suspicious people coming and going?"
"There are not ten thousand but eight thousand creatures that come and go in Trides every day, and although each of them seems suspicious to me, I really don't have a proper answer to this question. Donald put away his teasing, then shook his head, "As for the movements, there have been several vicious attacks in the city recently, all of which were committed by a few vampires, and their identities have been locked by me for now...... Well, hopefully they'll get out of here before they annoy me. Other than that, it's nothing. ”
Su Wen was silent for a moment, and then asked: "When I entered the city just now, I saw martial law and interrogation at the city gate, and it was said that there was a case of a missing child, what happened?"
"Hey, I'm an intelligence merchant, do you really think you can get information from me at will?
Donald disgruntled.
"I'm sorry, but I'm serious. ”
"Well, it's not a big deal, those cases happened between last night and today, and they were preliminarily determined to be organized human trafficking cases, but even I haven't received accurate information here, and those GIs and the girls of the Sword of Judgment are estimated to be in vain no matter how much they toss - the missing young children have probably been transferred out of the city a long time ago, so let's be considered hopeless. ”
"How many of them? How many of them are missing?"
"Thirteen? or fifteen, I don't remember exactly. ”
"It seems that I have guessed ......" Su Wen suddenly smiled bitterly, his face was ugly: if he was still a little lucky before, hoping that the black-robed man who was killed by himself was just pretending to be the neurotic of the death mage, then in connection with the case that happened from last night to today, he could almost conclude that an extremely dangerous conspiracy was being born and growing in a dark corner of the city that even Donald had not even noticed!
"Mr. Donald, do you remember the number of 'resentful babies' that must be present in the Undead Scourge?" Su Wen suddenly asked, "If I'm not mistaken, then no more, no less, exactly 13. ”
"Haha, what are you kidding, you're trying to tell me that there are people in this city who want to start an undead scourge?"
Donald wasn't as shocked as he expected, he snorted as if he had heard a joke, then put the glass to his lips and took a small sip.
Su Wen looked at Donald in the wine tasting, hesitated for a moment, and still spoke.
"Maybe that's it, today I met the Death Mage. ”
"Poof!"
Sure enough, not to Su Wen's expectations, Donald squirted out a sip of red wine, wetting a large file in front of him, and an even stronger smell of wine suddenly filled the air.
Hurriedly unleashing an instant drying spell on the dossier, Donald turned his head and stared at Su Wen with his eyes.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course. Su Wen shrugged, "I thought that although you officials didn't figure out the whole thing, at least you also noticed some clues, it seems that those death mages are better hidden than I imagined." ”
"Tell me the details. ”
Donald whispered, at this moment he has long lost the oily and smooth appearance of Fang Cai, the temperament of his whole body has undergone earth-shaking changes, and some kind of undoubted invisible majesty emanates from his body - if the elemental coercion emanating from the pretender's robe is just a simple energy catharsis, then this majesty contains some kind of esoteric high-level law, which is higher and lower is visible at a glance.
Su Wen didn't seem to be affected by this invisible pressure, he thought about it, and then quickly answered.
"Hmm...... Just an hour ago, I was attacked in the sewers of the North City. Based on the circumstances, I guess it was a mid-level death mage who happened to pass by with his minions, and planned to kill me on the premise that he could eat me safely, but I was killed anyway, and I paid a price, and that was the wound on my hand. ”
"Which sewer entrance, tell me exactly where it is. ”
"South side of Place Saint Laurent. ”
Donald didn't answer Su Wen again, but a faint curtain of light emanated from his body, and then he began to talk to himself as if silently. After about ten seconds, the curtain of light gradually dissipated, and his 'self-talk' stopped.
"Someone will look into it right away. ”
Donald stared at Su Wen's palm and said.
"As for you, if you don't want to die in vain, then quickly disassemble the gauze and let me see, I don't think the weapons in the hands of the death mages or their minions will be ordinary knives. ”
Su Wen was stunned at first, and then suddenly felt a little scared - he hadn't thought of this layer at all before! If it weren't for Donald's reminder, Su Wen would probably have let the gauze on his hand be wrapped until the effect of the potion passed, and if it was at that time, if there were any more problems, I am afraid it would have been too late. You must know that in the information that Su Wen learned, death mages are not only evil creatures who take pleasure in torturing people, but also most of them are good at poison and alchemy, so it is really simple for them to apply some poison to the daggers of their servants.
Su Wen took off the bandage, but found that under the thick dark green ointment, the cut wound did not have lesions or deterioration, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But after a few seconds, when he noticed that Donald's face was slowly becoming less pretty, he became nervous again.
"How's it going?"
After a long time, Su Wen finally couldn't help but ask.
"You're dying. ”
It was a really concise and powerful answer, Su Wen wanted to complain about something, but he still couldn't say it after all. After all, if this kind of thing comes out of Donald's mouth in a serious state, then he is probably really going to die......
"Refining the mandala toxin, the extract of the 'Hundred Days Revenant Flower', the compound chronic poison with alchemical numbers DM31 and DM42, and more than ten pathogens of terminal diseases...... Donald said calmly, "Now I completely believe what you say, except for those frantic death mages, no one would quench such a complex chronic poison into their weapons." None of them will allow you to die in a short period of time, but as long as it lasts, you will be worse off than dead - about three months from now, and you can prepare for the aftermath or something. ”
"Well, I'm relieved to hear you say that, there must be a solution. ”
"No, it's impossible to eradicate it completely - it's still possible to cut off your hand within two minutes of being stabbed, but it's obviously too late now, maybe it's about the same as cutting off the right half of your body. Donald shook his head, the unmistakable majesty in the room fading away, but his face was still tense, "All in all, if you want to live, you will probably have to live in regular baptisms of light for the rest of your life, and at the same time you will have to take a lot of expensive suppressants, and even then, you will have to endure great physical pain from time to time, and I am not kidding you." ”
That's really bad news.
Su Wen continued to smile bitterly, he finally understood one thing deeply: no matter when, don't have the illusion that the system has changed its conscience! The valuable elf bracers are indeed tempting, but compared to the current price, Su Wen would rather pay double or even triple the points to give up the rat catching task, rather than live a miserable life in Donald's mouth in the future like now.
With such a pit host system, Su Wen is really breathtaking.
"Of course, you have a second way to go. ”
Just when Su Wen was in great pain, Donald paused, and then continued.
"It's about becoming a Magister-level being, and then elementalizing your body, so that you can naturally be free from any toxins...... But this is a bit far away for you, and even I can't do this kind of thing easily, and it is even more difficult for a pseudo-genius like yours to do it. Tsk, what a poor child, you won't have such a good time in the future. ”
“...... At least it means that I can still be saved. ”
Su Wen said helplessly.
"It's good to have this optimistic mindset and hope you keep it up, especially when you're tormented by toxins. Donald looked at Su Wen with pity, "But anyway, those disgusting death mages are really better than the rats in the sewers, and if you hadn't run into the sewers and bumped into them, you really don't know how far they could go." With me here, the Undead Scourge is unlikely to be unleashed, but the feeling is definitely worse than eating a few flies - well, I mean, don't stare at me so pitifully, I'll pay you well. ”
After speaking, Donald's eyes suddenly burst into a milky white light, and his body also floated up, suspended in midair.
"In the name of the Light, I will bless you. ”
"Eh, wait!" Su Wen was dizzy from the strong light, and hurriedly shouted in confusion, "Aren't you a magician, why did you suddenly play the trick of the Church of Light?"
"Fool, who do you think is the only red-robed vicar in Trides?"
Donald said divinely and solemnly.
......
Su Wen was silent for a moment.
"Well, this is the eighth identity you told me, and now I wouldn't be surprised that you played all the big names in the whole of Tridis. ”
