Stannis thought that Kovo would take him to town immediately, but he didn't expect to take him into a small room first.

"What did you bring me here for?" Stannis asked dissatisfiedly, a small room with a full set of glass-made lab tools on the table, and a closet next to it filled with jars and jars of potions and various colorful liquids.

"I don't see you're still interested in this kind of thing. Stannis remembered the two bottles of strong acid that Corvo had thrown out of his hand in the crypt, which looked like they had been made by this guy.

"When I was on Blackwatch, I learned from an alchemist how to make my own potions. Corvo said as he rummaged through it.

Since the other party didn't care about himself, Stanis simply wandered around it alone, and in addition to the potions, a lot of test raw materials and minerals were placed here, and they were intimately marked with label paper.

"Nitro, glycerin, sulfuric acid, ......" Reading these words, Stannis seemed to return to the high school chemistry class, it seems that Xilu is not as ignorant as he imagined, at least in chemistry has been able to catch up with the level of the current world in the 17th and 18th centuries, as for why it has not continued to develop, it may be because any mage can make a big fireball that is more dazzling than the sun, so there is no need to delve into science and technology.

"Finally, it's hiding here!" After a few moments of rummaging, Corvo pulled out what he was looking for from the pile of tattered debris—two flasks filled with orange liquid flames.

He then carefully handed the bottle to Stannis, and kept instructing, "Be careful, it's no joke if the stuff comes out." ”

His words made Stannis nervous, "This thing is so dangerous, what are you doing for me?"

Corvo refused to take it back, "Your mission is to destroy the giant pumpkin in the central square, but you can't use hidden abilities within the barrier, and from what I've observed, you can't destroy the pumpkins without them, so it's necessary to use some outside help." ”

After saying that, he pointed to the two bottles in Stannis's hand, "The liquid fire in this room is as hot as the sun when exposed, so it should be able to destroy the pumpkin's shell." ”

"What should!" exclaimed Stennis, shouldn't this kind of thing be 100% confirmed!

But Corvo shrugged unashamedly, "Because that giant pumpkin has never been recorded, and its surface hardness is known to be comparable to steel, so I can only give it a try." ”

Stannis feels like he's been tricked into getting on a thief ship, what will he do if he doesn't?

"It's unreliable!" Stannis didn't think it was safe to rely on two Molotov cocktails alone, and he had to get a few more big guys to make sure that the pumpkin and the monster inside were completely reimbursed at once.

As a liberal arts student, Stannis looked around the operation room, compared to physics and mathematics, he still knew a little bit of chemistry, there were a lot of materials available to him, although he hadn't been left in the classroom by the high school chemistry teacher for several years, but he still remembered the composition of the big killer.

After another hour of tinkering, Stannis made three more special potions, though he couldn't remember the proportions to make sure they would work. The glass bottle contained an orange-yellow oily liquid, and he carefully tied them to the waistband of his trousers, fearing irreparable damage at the slightest bump.

"I didn't expect you to know alchemy. He didn't know what he was doing, but he could feel the power of the potion.

"Well, what's our next plan, will the two of us go into town together? But I don't have a sword in my hand right now. Stannis asked curiously, he had seen the methods of the former Black Watch commander, and in the case of enchantment, he believed that this guy could still fight his way.

But unexpectedly, Corvo shook his head.

"I'm not going with you, Heliana will accompany you. ”

"Heliana, the woman with the strange facial expression, what is she doing with me, and where are you going?" said Stennis's mouth like a cannon.

But Kovo had already made a plan that could not be changed.

"Kimberly and I will attack from the south side of the town, trying to cause a big stir there and draw the attention of the demons. Then I'll let Hyliana lead the way and let you enter through the dark passages north of the town, and by that time you will do everything you can to make your way towards the square, she knows most of the dark passages in the town, so you can avoid being detected by the enemy along the way. ”

It was a good ploy, but Stannis didn't know why he teamed up with Hyliana, and once the battle began, he couldn't spare the energy to protect the weird woman.

Corvo saw his doubts and gave him a shot in the arm, "Don't worry, Hyliana has the ability to protect herself, you just need to focus on completing your mission." ”

"Can't you see, she's also a master?" Stannis felt more and more that the people around him were always hiding dragons and crouching tigers.

Corvo nodded, "Unlike us humans who learn to fight after hard work, she was born to be the best killer. ”

Stannis was confused by what he said, "What are you talking about! She's a bit weird, but you can't expel her, can you?"

"Yes, a demon. Corvo made an understatement of Heliana's true identity.

Stannis, who was talking and laughing, was momentarily stunned, and then his face was full of shock, "Don't be joking, it's possible that you want to say that there is a demon lurking next to you and you are indifferent." ”

"I am afraid to correct your statement, Your Excellency, that she is not lurking at my side, but living with me, since I picked her up from the graveyard two years ago. ”

When Corvo spotted the demon two years ago, she was eating the corpses of mass graves like a wild animal, and he had only used a few tricks to subdue her, and for some unknown reason had let her live with him.

When he realized that the other party was not joking, Stennis pupils instantly narrowed, and all the muscles of his originally relaxed body were retracted, he was about to kill.

"What are you kidding! how can you keep such monsters alive, don't you know how evil they are?" said Stannis as he walked towards the door, not forgetting for a moment the demon's abominable face and disgusting laughter.

But Corvo was clearly not going to do that, and the Smiling Man appeared at the door at an alarming speed to block Stannis's path.

"Why are you so obsessed with killing her?"

"Is this still a problem? If it's not my race, its heart will be different!" Stannis didn't expect that there were humans in the world who could help demons and ghosts speak.

But Corvo was clearly dissatisfied with his theory, "Monsters aren't all bad, and humans aren't necessarily good, so if you're determined to kill her, then let me be your opponent." ”
