Chapter 293: Civil Strife (2)
finally got Howard to help, and the next thing Leach had to do was to do his best to find trouble with the "rebels", so that they had to ask their boss for help when they were helpless.
The way, naturally, is to pretend to be a monster to arrest people.
The camouflage props used by Leach are just leaves that can be seen everywhere in the forest, and the reason why it can have the effect of being fake and real, of course, it is impossible to simply use the leaves to drape himself, and if he really wants to do so, unless the people of the "rebels" are blind, it is impossible not to see that the so-called monsters and wild people are faked by people.
It has to be said that alchemists are a very magical profession, and alchemists are a group with perfect creative ability.
Although the revival of alchemy in the Hine Continent is not too long, and it is even more "young" compared to magic and fighting spirit, there are no less than thousands of alchemy potions that have been released so far.
Among such a dazzling array of alchemical potions, some have irreplaceable benefits for users, some can be used to trap enemies, some are useless in any field, and can almost be regarded as failures, and more are some with great side effects, but they cannot be said to be completely useless, and if used properly, they are likely to have unexpected effects.
Leach used one of the most alchemical potions, called the Iron Elixir.
The effect of steel potions is to transform some soft objects into as hard as steel. The original intention of the inventor was to build housing for people in areas where materials were scarce and disasters were frequent.
It is said that the inventor himself came from that kind of place, and after he had learned something, he wanted to give back to his relatives and friends in his hometown, which led to the idea of inventing a medicine that could change the hardness of objects.
Perhaps the heavens were moved by the man's kindness, and the experiment went very smoothly, and it only took two years before he succeeded in developing the first bottle of potion and named it the steel potion.
However, when steel potions were put into practice, the results were not satisfactory.
First of all, the duration of action of the steel potion is not permanent, as the inventor imagined, but only lasts about an hour.
Secondly, steel flasks aren't a material that can transform all objects, but that doesn't make much of a difference.
Finally, and most importantly, the Iron Potion has very serious side effects, and those objects that can be used are all turned to ashes after the effect is gone. It seems that the use of steel potions has caused their potential to be overdrawn.
Existence is reasonable, and while it is not 100% right, it is applicable to many situations.
For example, after the inventor made countless improvements but still did not improve, and even he himself had to give up, after the development of later generations, he still found a suitable way to use it.
One of the most practical is to use local materials like Leach to make a temporary armor from steel potions.
After dressing, Leach once again went to the "rebel's" lair.
After the previous experience, Leach already knew that the other party had begun to value him as a "wild man", so this time he was also ready to run away at any time.
But when he came to the cottage, Leach found something different.
Every time Leach came before, there were always a few guards guarding the gate of the cottage, but this time the door was empty, not to mention that there were no people who had been ambushed before. However, there was still a lot of people in the village, as if some kind of training was going on.
"Have they given up struggling?" Leach guessed, "No, generally speaking, the little gangsters are bullies who are afraid of the hard, either they are fierce and look for trouble from the beginning, or after a while they find out that the other party is not easy to mess with, they will run away, and it is absolutely impossible to sit still!"
"That'...... Could it be that they found out that my 'monster I' was pretended to be someone else, so they changed their strategy against me?"
The more Leach thought about it, the more likely it became, and for the sake of safety, he cautiously climbed over the fence on the periphery of the cottage and felt as far as possible to get inside, trying not to alarm anyone.
Inside the cottage, it can be said that there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, that is, convenience is careful and careful, and there are several times when he is almost discovered by the patrolling guards.
"I said why is there no one outside, it turns out that it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. "It seems that they are frightened by me and dare not use people as bait anymore, so they have to strengthen the vigilance inside the stockade." ”
After a moment of smugness, Leach's brows furrowed again: "But in this way, it will not be as easy as before to take people away again, no, I have to think of a way to cause them some more trouble." ”
Although the goal was clear, how could Leach come up with a way to keep the entire cottage in panic for a while, there was no way, he could only wander around the stockade cautiously, in addition to trying to find out the loopholes in its defense, by the way, also find out the terrain and prepare for future attacks.
As he passed by what seemed to be a wooden house stacked with miscellaneous items, Leach vaguely wanted to hear someone talking, and in curiosity, he boldly flashed into the room.
Inside the wooden house, there were piles of firewood and hay, and some cutting tools such as axes and saws stacked in the corner, and it turned out to be a utility room for storing fuel for fires.
The voice of the voice came from the innermost corner of the wooden house.
As Leach got closer, his voice grew clearer.
"How's that, what did Luffy say?"
"Don't mention it, that guy suddenly retreated again, saying that he would give me an answer after he thought it through, it's really TMD......"
"Heh, as expected, don't look at that guy Luffy is usually brave and ruthless, and seems to be a tiger, but he is definitely an indecisive person, and it is impossible to make him agree to rebel all at once. ”
"Then what should I do, just spend it with him?"
The so-called long nights and dreams, if things drag on for a long time, it is inevitable that those five people will hear something, and when they are on guard, we can only close our eyes and wait for death!"
"Don't talk nonsense, you can give me a clear word about what to do!"
"It's simple, cut first and then play, so that Luffy has no way out, when the time comes, he will die left and right, it is better to follow us and give it a go!"
