Chapter 76: Suddenly
Al is now a high-level knight with two combat skills on the surface, and secretly a junior wizard apprentice on the verge of breaking through, and his strength is so strong that unless he is a formal professional, he will not put much pressure on Eyre.
But in the face of the one-armed and one-eyed old man who slowly walked out, Al's brain and sense of crisis were constantly warning him, which showed that the danger of this old man was so high that it was almost comparable to a formal professional!
While old Howard sat on the sidelines, reason told Al that the old man wasn't really going to do anything to himself.
However, the sense of crisis in his body was still strong, and Al had already subconsciously put his hand on the burning sword on his waist.
The moment Al put his hand on the Burning Sword, the old man frowned slightly, and his face became solemn.
Obviously, when Al also started to get serious, the old man also felt the pressure from Al as well.
The atmosphere was solemn, and Al and the old man were at a stalemate for a while.
And at this moment, old Howard coughed lightly and said: "Okay, old Faian, you put away that broken hand crossbow, the current musket is much more powerful than your broken hand crossbow, remember to change the musket next time you scare people."
I remember that many of the witchers in the Witcher's Guild already have muskets in their standing equipment, so I guess it would be fine for you to get a musket to keep around. ”
The one-eyed, one-armed old man, whom Howard Sr. called Old Fa'an, was apparently close to him.
When he heard old Howard's words, he immediately put down his crossbow and sat down on a chair behind him.
Staring at old Howard with one eye like an eagle's pupil, old Fa'an slowly said in a hoarse voice: "Old Howard, you guy is not waiting for death at home, what are you doing here." ”
Listening to the words of old Fa'an, old Howard was silent for a while, and said: "Old Fa'an, the old gun is dead, and the old brothers who came to Linshan Town together to retire are the only two of us, the world is impermanent, I think the days of the two of us are really not much." ”
When Old Fa'an heard this, he also fell silent, and then he glanced at Al and said in a low voice: "There is no way to kill the old gun, and the people of the Church of the Lord of Hundreds of Millions of Radiances have never been unreasonable.
They have only God and no one in their hearts, and they only have divinity, no humanity.
So even if the old gun didn't enter the Snake Forest Mansion in the end, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to live, and he couldn't complain about others.
What's more, he died for this kid, he is very optimistic about this kid, since he can survive, then the old gun can be regarded as a well-deserved death. ”
Hearing this, Al also thought of the old gun, and sighed helplessly, and for a while, the three of them fell silent.
The silence was going to be broken after all, and I don't know how long it took, Old Fa'an smoked his pipe and said, "Okay, Old Howard, whenever you come to me, you have something to do, what do you want to do this time, just tell me directly." ”
Old Howard nodded, didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "I want aconite grass, not too little, at least ten, otherwise it won't come in handy." ”
"Ten plants! You and I are planting this thing, it is impossible to breed aconite grass artificially, it can only grow wild, and the aconite grass I provide to the Demon Hunter Guild every month is only twenty plants, you want half of me to go out at this time! No, if you want ten plants, at most you will give you three plants, do you like it!"
Old Fa'an's one-eyed stared at old Howard, one-eyed red, obviously angry.
Seeing this, old Howard smiled and said: "If there are no ten, there will be none, but three is too little, so let's cut it by half, five aconite grasses, five aconite grasses should be no problem." ”
glared at old Howard viciously, old Fa'an took his pipe and walked to the back room, and soon took a cloth bag out of it, wrapped in five sun-dried aconite plants, and threw it directly to old Howard, and then old Fa'an said a word concisely: "Get out!"
Hehe smiled, old Howard didn't care at all, he directly took the small cloth bag, pulled Al and walked outside.
But at this moment, old Fa'an suddenly said: "Aconite grass is for you, don't rush to the front when dealing with that werewolf, without the help of me and the old gun, just rely on you, who was a clerk when you were young, I'm afraid you will be killed directly by that werewolf."
There are only two of us left with the old guys, and I don't want to wake up tomorrow morning and be left alone, you ...... Take care of your own safety. ”
When the words fell, Old Fa'an closed the door directly, with an indifferent attitude as if the words just now were not what he said.
Al glanced at Old Howard, and he could clearly see that Old Howard's eyes were red, but he didn't say much.
The conversation between Old Howard and Old Fa'an just now didn't deliberately hide anything, although what they said was not very clear, but Al could hear that Old Gun, Old Howard, and Old Fa'an were probably not from this Linshan Town when they were young.
And according to Al's guess, the three of them were likely to be members of the Demon Hunter Guild when they were young, but for some reason, the three of them came to this Linshan Town when they were in their middle and prime of life, and settled here.
Naturally, Al will not ask Old Howard about these things, there are some things that people will want to deliberately forget, and once they remember, they will only have painful memories.
So Al wouldn't ask, and old Howard wouldn't go back and say, the two of them had a tacit understanding to keep silent, when nothing happened.
Back in the small bookstore, old Howard didn't say a word, and directly stuffed the aconite grass in his hand to Al.
"Okay, that's all I can help you, the rest is up to you, when facing werewolves, remember that werewolves' minions are extremely lethal, their bones are as hard as iron, but the waist is the weakest.
So when you attack, you must aim at the werewolf's waist to attack, once the werewolf's waist and abdomen are severely damaged, then the werewolf's strength is basically only half left. ”
Hearing Old Howard's words, Al nodded heavily and said, "Old Howard, don't worry, when I kill that werewolf, I'll break off its canine teeth for you as a souvenir." ”
After speaking, Al smiled at Old Howard, and left the small bookstore directly, walking quickly towards his hunter's hut, which had already been delayed for a long time, and Al had to hurry up and strive to make at least one 'wolf poison potion' before nightfall!
This 'wolf poison potion' is only a potion made by apprentice-level wizards, and its difficulty is not too high, as long as the materials and heat are mastered, there is basically a success rate of more than half.
Al was not good at making potions, so he was inevitably in a hurry at first, and after scrapping the potions twice and wasting two aconite plants, Al finally found a way.
The third time Al was much calmer, although he still did not escape the fate of scrapping in the end, but with the help of the [Focus] state, Al has completely mastered the production method of this 'wolf poison potion'.
Gently stirring the lilac liquid inside the cauldron, Al sprinkled the final net salt into the crucible.
Suddenly, a trace of smoke emanated from the lilac liquid, and the color of the liquid became thicker, and finally turned into a pure bright purple, and only one last step was needed to activate the power of the potion with witchcraft, and this 'wolf poison potion' could be completed!
Raising his hand to turn into a palm, his palm facing the potion inside the cauldron, Al kept chanting a spell to activate the power of the potion.
With the chanting of the El's incantation, under the mobilization of his spiritual power, the liquid medicine in the crucible spun on its own, and finally turned into a semi-liquid and semi-gelatinous state.
Seeing this, Al's spirit shook slightly, he knew that he had failed three times, and finally succeeded in making a 'wolf poison potion'!
Took out a test tube from the space bag around his waist, and then Al carefully poured the potion in the crucible into the test tube, plugged the cork, and Al directly put the finished 'wolf poison potion' into the space bag and put it away.
Next, Al put the remaining materials into the crucible again, and with a successful experience, Al can be said to be smooth sailing this time, especially in the state of turning on [Concentration], and without the slightest mistake, the remaining materials were successfully refined, and the second 'Wolf Poison Elixir' was made!
At this point, Al, who held two 'wolf poison potions' in his hands, was greatly confident, and after simply cleaning and burning the crucible and the remaining materials, Al took out a 'wolf poison potion' and held it in his hand, and then walked directly towards Linshan Town.
At this time, the town of Linshan had gradually become under martial law, and the town guards and soldiers of Grant Manor had intensified their patrols in the town.
And Baron Grant John, together with Xiulan, as well as the captain of the guard in Linshan Town, and others, led some soldiers to search for outsiders who might be werewolves one by one.
As soon as Al walked to the town center square of Linshan Town with the 'Wolf Poison Elixir' in his hand, he found that the 'Wolf Poison Elixir' in his hand had a faint blue color.
Seeing this, Al took two steps to the left and a few steps to the right as if he were taking a casual walk.
Based on the color change of the 'Wolf Poison Elixir', El finally determined his direction and prepared to walk there.
But at this moment, Al was suddenly hit by an oncoming person, and due to the suddenness of the incident, Al stumbled and almost fell.
If it was usual, Al would probably go back to see who hit him, but today the matter is urgent, and Al has no intention of entangling with the person who hit him.
However, before Al could take two steps, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.
Al knows very well that now that he has become a high-ranking knight, his physical fitness is far beyond the level of normal people.
Usually let alone stumbling on yourself, even if you knock Al to the ground, it's not something ordinary people can do.
Although Al was absent-minded just now, and the incident happened suddenly, the person who knocked Al stumbling just now could not be an ordinary person!
Just as Al was about to look back to see who had hit him, a bloody voice suddenly sounded in Al's ears.
"Ah, it turned out to be you, I finally found you, the human with the page of the 'Demon Book' left by the Grand Duke of Blood. ”
