Chapter Seventy-Four: Needle Pricking
"It would be best if Lady Wendini was willing to drink this potion and be questioned. If it turns out that the murderer is not Mrs. Wendiny, I am willing to accept any conditions and apologize to you. ”
The small room fell silent instantly.
Warrent and Vivien held their breath and waited for an answer.
"With all due respect, I don't believe in this kind of thing. Wentini said coldly: "Even a diamond-level magician who specializes in spirit and cold meat can't guarantee that he can make people spit out the truth 100%. So, I don't believe in your so-called elixir of truth. Second, and most importantly, I don't just drink from a reckless man who frames people without evidence. ”
"What's more, this reckless man is still a vulgar person who doesn't even have the temperament to tolerate children's play. ”
It seems that Wendini is still haunted by Sue Wen making Kyle cry on the first day she arrives at Snow Castle.
Sure enough, my heart is empty.
Su Wen had roughly guessed Wentini's reaction, and Wentini was also standing on her feet when she refused Ellie's potion. Su Wen was not stupid enough to use the agitation method to stimulate Wentini.
A test against one's will, even if the result is true, will be questioned by others. Besides, the current Warrent and Vivian are both on Wentini's side.
If it weren't for the fact that Warrent had three points of trust in Su Wen and seven points of jealousy, I am afraid that he would have already let this strange man who doubted his lover for no reason leave the snow castle.
But it ended hastily, and Warrent, who was at the center of the dispute, was not easy to handle. So Warrent stood up and stepped forward to persuade Wentini: "In this way, Mr. Su Wen's potion, I will try it first, if it is okay, you can drink it...... Confirm it to Mr. Su Wen, so that you can clear your suspicions......"
Warrent had no choice but to retreat into advance.
Su Wen shrugged and said that he didn't care.
But Wentini certainly didn't do it.
"To tell you the truth, I don't know why you put up with such a rude man again and again, and the honor of the Iron Shield is not something that can be despised in this way. ”
The coat of arms of the Snow Castle clan is based on a shield.
Only Warrent himself knew that Su Wen's behavior had already given Warrent and the entire Snow Castle great respect. With the strength shown by Su Wen, it is more than enough to fight against the entire snow castle.
Such a terrifying power can probably only be matched by the evil dragon that was entrenched in the mountains north of Snow Castle in the legend a hundred years ago, right?
In the Maleno Empire, is there still such a hermit master who has almost reached the limit of human beings?
"Wentini ......"
Warrent wanted to say something, but when he saw Wentiny's eyes, Warrent couldn't say anything.
Her eyes were full of a woman's disappointment that her lover didn't trust her.
"Warrent!"
Seeing this, Vivien kicked Warrent hard, and hurriedly walked over to comfort her sister, who was nearly ten years younger than herself. Over the years, what Wendini has done in the snow castle is obvious to all, and there is no one in the entire snow castle who does not feel admiration and respect for this.
In comparison, the doting on Kyle is not a big deal.
It's better to say that it is because of Wentini's achievements and his own personality that the Snow Castle is so tolerant of Kyle, no, it should be conniving, so that Kyle has now developed a series of stinky problems.
"Su Wen, why are you still reasoning with them?" Ellie saw that the development of the situation was about to turn into a bloody love drama, so she asked Su Wen in a low voice.
"That's right. Su Wen thought about it, the lack of standardized process of evidence itself is very fragile, firstly, Su Wen has not studied the laws of the Malenor Empire, and secondly, if it drags on, I don't know what direction the situation will develop, so he said to Ellie: "Then you can directly give Wendini a needle." ”
"Eh??? in front of them?"
"Or else?"
“...... Really?"
"Or else?"
“...... So I'm going?"
"Go ahead. ”
“...... I...... Did I really go? really?"
Su Wen also understood that Ellie was afraid that her unusual physique would be exposed, but it seemed that there was no good way to do it. You can't put a knife on Kyle's neck and let Wentini obey him, right? In this way, Su Wen will become the big bad guy who secretly supports Marina as a puppet to become the heir to the title and uses his subordinate means to sweep away obstacles resolutely.
Although Su Wen doesn't care about other people's opinions, such behavior will inevitably affect Ellie as a bystander. For a girl like Ellie, who has great power but is not mentally mature enough, such a hidden danger is extremely deadly. If you're not careful, Ellie will be affected and become a real "monster".
"Go ahead. Su Wen repeated again: "This is the most inappropriate and last resort." ”
At the time of these few words, Ellie was also mentally prepared. If it weren't for the influence of alcohol, Ellie wouldn't have been able to make up her mind so quickly.
Ellie stood up and walked over to Wentini.
Before the three of them could react, a tentacle with a spiky tip reached out from Ellie's back and stabbed at Wentini.
"Ding. ”
The sound of metal clashing made the facial expressions of everyone present more stunned.
Ellie was stunned that her attack could be blocked, Wendini was stunned by Ellie's sudden attack, Vivian and Warrent didn't understand the sudden change, and Su Wen didn't expect Wentini to have the strength to see through Ellie's attack and block it.
Wentini had an extra layer of black shadow on her arm, and it was this layer of black shadow that resisted Ellie's tentacles.
Ellie, who stretched out her tentacles and entered a slightly "hunting" state, was the first of them to react, and immediately launched a second attack after the first blow did not work.
Stealthily and swiftly attacks like a cave worm.
The tentacles struck Wendini from another angle, and although Wendini was aware of it, the speed of his body did not keep up. The stinger at the tip of the tentacle pierced Wentini's back, and Ellie's synthetic manipulative substance was injected into her body.
Warrent saw that the lover who had been with him for more than ten years gradually entered a sluggish state, and Wentini's godless eyes shed two crystal tears the moment the needle pricked it.
Tears slid down Wentini's cheeks and dripped to the ground with an inaudible "pop".
This "pop" was like a flood of bells, waking up Warrent and Vivian, who had not yet figured out the situation.
