Chapter 18: Time Reversal
The night was dark, and the moon hung high in the sky, and it looked far the size of a pearl, sprinkled with pale white silver veil. The howling air currents swept into the street from www.biquge.info sky, and the wind in the shaded areas on both sides of the road was slightly swaying.
β......β
Yalei sat alone by the window, looking out of the window, rows of rain-proof sloping roofs and watchtowers stood under the dark sky, silent as if the whole city had fallen asleep. The wind constantly stirs up leaves and debris on the ground, and it rolls on the volcanic rocky floor, making a hissing and grinding sound. It is even more silent in contrast.
After subduing the Sea Witch, the last remaining Sea General, the manta fish Elzac, is no longer a problem.
This man's obsession with revenge is not deep, and if everyone does not surrender, he will not surrender. But after seeing that Su Lante was relieved, he immediately pushed the boat down the river and gave up his insistence. In other words, the sea general is a character who lacks assertiveness and is good at being driven.
Things have come to this point, and the remaining problem of the will forces of the deep sea has been basically resolved.
Now, the black-haired knight is putting more energy into himself.
Whether it is the information on the emperor's side or his own channels, the news about the blade of time has not come for a long time. In addition, his own strength tends to stagnate, and when he leaves Yalei alone, he occasionally feels upset.
"You...... Yes...... Worry. β
A slightly dry and sweet female voice intermittently reached his ears.
"Huh?"
The black-haired knight looked back and saw that the figure sitting on her desk, dressed in a lace-trimmed black and white dress, had actually raised her head and was talking to the windowβthis was the first time she had taken the initiative to talk to herself.
"What the hell are you?" he asked, for some reason.
"I'm Melly...... The Witch Who Can Do Anything...... Equivalent exchange ...... One wish for another......"
With the glimmer of light shining through the window, the beauty of the doll has a certain illusory quality, like colorful bubbles in the sun. The soft and slender blonde curls are shiny, and the hair is dotted with thin hair ropes and tassel pendants, and the pupils reflect each other's figures, flickering and flickering.
"Your master doesn't have that much ability, does he? tell me, what is your relationship with her......
Aree walked over to the doll, pinched a strand of hair, and looked at her playfully.
"I don't have a host...... Yes...... Make your wishes come true. β
The delicate doll remained motionless, its eyes staring at him intently, and a dry female voice sounded from the void.
"Really?"
The black-haired knight thought for a moment, put down her strand of hair, and said:
"Then let me experience the feeling of time stopping. β
"The deal is executed. β
The doll finally said a complete sentence, and the light in her eyes became constant, and then she reported a series of strange terms:
"A hundred years of dead grass ash, the powder of the rhizome of the rowan moon, the core of the thousand-year-old ash tree, the leaves of the alder moon that does not see light, the branches of the twin holly trees...... Mermaid tears and beech honey ...... Venom of the Elder Golden Tree Frog ......"
With that, she drooped her head, like a magic stone that had exhausted her energy, and lost her strength.
Ya Lei listened to the big head, barely remembered in his head, although he knew that Merry would not answer him in a short time, he couldn't help but ask:
"What the hell is this?"
......
That night, the black-haired knight recorded the words Melly said to herself, and after reading them carefully, he found that it seemed to be a recipe for a potion of medicine, all of which were very rare drugs.
He didn't know anything about these things.
After thinking for a few seconds, Jarley woke up one of his attendants on duty and told him to go to Gaul overnight and pay a fortune to hire a fairy doctor who was proficient in potions.
Professional things, just leave it to professional people to do, anyway, this money is a drop in the bucket for yourself. The black-haired knight just wanted to know what the prescription Melly had given him was.
The next evening, the office of the Governor's Palace.
"A hundred years of withered grass ash, the powder of the rhizome of the rowan month...... Venom of the Elder Golden Tree Frog ......"
An old gentleman with reading glasses, carefully reading the contents of the note, several little brown demons lying on his shoulder, curiously looking at the words, from time to time to exchange a sentence or two with each other.
After a few minutes, Dr. Goblin took off his reading glasses, bowed slightly, and said with a slight hesitation:
"Your Excellency, I know the pharmacology of these potions, and most of them can be used as tonics, but in the end, the venom of the old golden tree frog was added...... The nature of the whole prescription has changed, and it is more like a vicious curse......"
"Cursed?"
Yalei's expression sank, and he showed a half-believing expression, he didn't believe that Elena's Melly would harm him.
"It's guaranteed below!"
The old gentleman saw that his face was not good, and his forehead immediately dripped, and he quickly explained:
"The Golden Tree Frog is a rare monster in the Southern Wastelands, and the local natives call it Time Reversal, because the venom of this monster is extremely magical and can cause jet lag symptoms in its victims.
The symptom of poisoning, simply put, is the feeling that time is passing one second faster than others.
And the oldest golden tree frog, the venom can even make the victim feel jet lag up to 1:100. That is to say, the speed of all the scenery he sees, smells, and feels will be slowed down by a hundredfold, but his own speed will not change. The victim of this state will be out of place with everything, and it won't be long before he dies tragically because of loneliness and loneliness. β
"Jet lag ......"
The black-haired knight chewed on Dr. Goblin's words, and then thought of his own banter to Meliti that night, and his face gradually softened.
"Exactly!"
The old gentleman nodded vigorously and said firmly:
"I can be sure that these herbs can amplify the effects of the Golden Tree Frog's venom, maybe...... It can make the drinker's sense of time stagnant...... It's simply the most vicious curse in the world!"
"Then what are you waiting for, make it for me!" said Yalei, excitedly clapping the case.
"Huh!?"
Dr. Goblin suddenly sweated like rain, his face turned pale, and his whole body trembled like chaff.
In an instant, the brain makes up a political battle drama comparable to the house of cards, and the governor sneers and hides the potion in the pillow of his political opponent, leaving him to die a painful death in eternal loneliness. And he will always be forced to stay by the other party's side, so that he can be dispatched at any time, and if he disagrees, he will be brutally killed.
Do you really want to play for the tiger, be a chess piece with blood on your hands and be abandoned at any time, and live a precarious life in the center of the political whirlpool?
"But, but I won't......," the old gentleman tried to refuse, and there was still a little expectation in his heart.
"Oh, forget it. β
"Ah...... Huh!?"
Doctor Goblin was stunned - the imaginary storm, coercion and temptation.
After sending a certain elven doctor who seemed to be suffering from Alzheimer's disease away, the black-haired knight immediately ordered someone to purchase the materials for the prescription, and at the same time found Kara, and asked him to use the news of the harpy walk to find the monster of these potions in everything, and he was rewarded with a lot of money.
