Chapter 101: The Resurgence of Strife (8)

Jones followed the dwarf old woman inside.

As he expected, the tent was cluttered.

Deck chairs woven with branches, miscellaneous animal corpses, colorful bottles and cans.

However, if it is neatly arranged, it is not impossible to say that she is a bachelor.

......

"The old woman asks you, why do you want to learn magic?" the dwarf old woman, swaying on her crutches, struggling to shrink her thin body into the chaise longe.

Jones managed to find a place to put his feet.

He replied with a serious face, "In order to let heaven and earth have a heart, so that the living people can live in peace, so that the wisdom of the wise men of the past can be passed on, and contribute their own strength to the peace of the next ten thousand years." ”

After hearing this, the old woman coughed violently a few times, and her pale face became a little red, "Are you a blind old woman or a fool?"

"You asked me to say it," Jones was a little aggrieved, he felt that he had played beyond the norm this time, and said a bloody quote that could be circulated in this world, but he didn't know why he couldn't fool anyone.

"The old woman told you the truth!"

"To survive," Jones said briefly, this time.

After hearing this, the old woman paused, and said faintly, "This is not simple. ”

This time it was Jones' turn not to be calm, he didn't know if the old woman was fooling him, or if he really predicted something, and hurriedly said, "Please save me!"

The old woman pouted, raised a wizened finger, pointed to a black pillar like an arm in the corner, and said, "Go over there, focus your mind on it, and tell me what you see?"

......

"Obsidian?" Jones said with some uncertainty as he approached the black pillar, looking at the dark stone column.

Obsidian, also known as Dragon Crystal, is said by the common people to be the product of a dragon, while the scholars believe that it is forged from the flames of the earth. And according to the books, thousands of years ago, the children of the forest used obsidian to hunt, they did not know how to smelt metal, so they used clothes woven from leaves instead of armor, and used bark as leggings, which seemed to be one with the forest, and their arrows and blades were made of obsidian.

In fact, Jones himself used obsidian, or the dead Jones in the school city when he made a magic array, if he hadn't crossed over and crashed into each other at that time, I am afraid that his soul would have sunk in endless time and space.

However, the obsidian he used at that time was only the size of his thumb, and the difference between it and the arm-sized cylinder in front of him was too big.

......

Suddenly, Jones thought of the rumors about the bachelor's promotion ceremony and asked again, "Is this a candle?"

It is said that every assistant bachelor must keep a vigil in the cellar the night before he swears to become a bachelor, and must not carry any light, only an obsidian candle. He had to spend the night in the dark, unless he could light the candle......

But Jones wasn't a bachelor at all, so a lot of things were only a rough idea.

"It seems that you don't know anything," said the old dwarf woman, snorting a few times, and there was no compliment or mockery in her tone.

"It's an obsidian candle, but can a stone that doesn't shine really be called a candle?"

"You want me to light it up?" Jones asked curiously, "Is this the qualification test before learning magic?"

"Why do you have so many questions! Women have fewer words than you do. This time, the old woman was completely impatient, "Do it or get out, the old woman is going to drink." ”

With that, she grabbed a wine bag, stopped paying attention to Jones, and drank it with a clatter.

......

"Can all dwarves drink like this?" Jones's eyelids jumped when he saw her drinking, and his heart was a little apprehensive, "I won't drink too much at once, I'll be poisoned." ”

He was afraid that the witch would not do anything after drinking, so he prepared a few follow-ups, one of which was to ask Cobain to add some "condiments" to the wine.

The witch burped in satisfaction, her pale face was dyed red, and her thin body fell into the chaise longue with a happy look.

When Jones saw this, he suddenly felt a sense of guilt welling up in his heart, "I actually calculated an old woman like this, is it the lord who is too much, and my heart has really turned black." ”

In an instant, he had the urge to rush forward to confess and ask for forgiveness.

But looking at the old woman's happy appearance, he really couldn't bear to disturb it.

"Forget it, let's give her the antidote when we leave, and send her more wine in the future. ”

Jones, who was so relieved, calmed his mind and turned his gaze back to the glass candle.

......

"Uh...... Belch...... Uh,"

I don't know how long it took, but Jones's eyes widened, and the man sat on the ground.

The impatient mercenaries were also kicked out to prevent themselves from being disturbed again.

"Give up, nothing has changed at all. ”

"No, where there is a will, there is a way, and victory belongs to those who persevere to the end!"

"You don't have magical qualifications, so many Bachelors, I've never heard of anyone lighting an obsidian candle. ”

"No, the one burning in Dr. Malwyn's room seems to be a glass candle...... He can do it, and so can I. ”

......

The more he tried to concentrate, the more his thoughts became like wild horses on the loose, unable to control them at all, running up and down the sky.

Gradually, Jones felt his eyelids grow heavier, and a sense of sleepiness hit him.

"Why are you so sleepy?"

"I'm so sleepy. ”

"Why don't you squint for a moment? ”

"Oh no, there's something wrong with this smell!" Jones was startled, as if he had suddenly fallen in his sleep, and cold sweat instantly crept up his spine.

But the sleepiness was still like a tidal wave, clenching and continuing to erode his mind.

He tried to open his mouth and scream, but he found that he couldn't control his mouth at all, the whole person was like half asleep, half awake, his thoughts were still there, but he couldn't feel his body anymore.

"Danger," he kept warning inwardly, and he felt himself sinking deeper and deeper into the darkness.

"Knock knock!

Suddenly, Jones subconsciously launched a "rage", his heart began to beat vigorously and rapidly, and the flow rate of blood increased sharply, like an angry river, rushing.

However, the elements that caused him to be sleepy also instantly spread all over his body, and the sleepiness was directly like Mount Tai pressing on the top, and the darkness came to his face, leaving him with nowhere to escape, "Damn, nervous poisonous ......"

......

"Well, it's faster than I thought," muttered the old dwarf woman, seeing the black knight slump suddenly, "it can't be a lie to me." ”

"Then wait for you a while, and hurry up if you want to do it," the dwarf old woman took another big sip of wine, and the overflowing red wine flowed down her mouth, as strange as blood,

"Dorne's summer wines are wonderful...... Hiccup, it's what's mixed in that that affects the taste. ”

The dwarf old woman, who had drunk a whole bag of summer red wine, jumped out of the chaise longue woven of branches, and she did not see her old appearance at all.

Then she came to the black knight's side without slowness, and rolled the black knight's body a few times with her feet, "Didn't you tell you not to come again?"

"Tsk, also a fool, staring at the stone for so long. ”

As she spoke, the dwarf old woman took off a cloth bag from the black knight, took out a vial from it, unscrewed it, and licked the antidote inside.

"Not a big problem," the old woman muttered, and then opened another wine bag and drank it beautifully.
