Chapter 167: The Gathering of Storms
When Odo received his father's strong reply, he set out for the port of Beauna, and it was not until he met his father four days later that his doubts were solved.
"It can't be the Shadow Blade that kills Pompeii. Even if a hundred people witnessed it, you have to say, this is a conspiracy!
The father's face did not show a trace of sadness at the disappearance of Pompeii. Otto was not surprised by this, he had not seen his father's grief since he was born, not even the day his mother or Pompeii's mother died.
"But my father ......," he said.
"Nothing! Someone has to pay for the death of the Princh family! But no one can take revenge on the Shadow Blade, that's the rule!"
"What if it's really the Shadow Slayer?" Otto finally asked.
"There's a secret that you have to know sooner or later...... Behind the Shadow Blade are the forces of the south. Manuda whispered, it was rare for him to speak in such a light volume that his voice sounded hoarse and terrifying. In fact, this secret, he had already told Pompey.
"South...... You mean ......"
"An opponent you can't defeat at all, knocks out your teeth, you just have to swallow it, and then pretend that the punch was made by someone else, understand?"
"And this punch...... Who's going to do it?"
"That Kevin Bell, how many magic crystals can you earn for the Medici family in a year?"
“...... At least 100 million magic crystals. ”
"His new drug is about to go on sale, and then?"
"I'm afraid...... It's going to be more, you mean, to put him in charge?"
"It's best to take this opportunity to catch him, if not. Humph......"
"But father, in this case, the Medici family ......"
"It's so naïve! Do you think that a force like the current one of the Mediqi family can be established by relying on warmth and affection? If it wasn't three thousand years ago...... Hmph, now they've turned into saviors......"
"If only Kevin Bell could be caught. Not bad. I'm afraid that if I kill him, I'm afraid it won't be the Medici family who will be offended...... I don't know how many people are waiting for his new medicine. Otto plucked up the courage to voice his fears.
"Otto, our Princh family has grown on fangs and claws, and without these, there is nothing. In Middle-earth, only others are afraid of us. Don't be fooled by the illusion of gentleness and frugality of the Mediki family, one day you will find that they are even more ruthless than we are. ”
Odo stopped talking, he disagreed with his father, but he also knew that he would not be able to convince him. At this point, what happens next is completely out of your control.
Right now. The only thing he could do was probably pray to the god of light. But his faith has never been religious.
Manuda wouldn't admit that Pompeii was killed by the Shadowblade - Alex knew that.
Whether it's him or Manuda, they know the forces behind this killer organization.
Now, Manuda is still heading in the direction of Nice City, and he won't really do any investigation. Alex knows this too.
Alex was reluctant to have a confrontation with him, in addition to the identity of the other party as his father-in-law, and more importantly, his father had given him clear instructions: not as a last resort. Don't clash head-on with the Princh family.
He didn't really understand what his father was doing. Over the years, the Princh family has done too many things that annoyed him, and if he blindly tolerated it, the other party became even more arrogant.
Of course, he wouldn't know that his father's instructions came from the Magic Continent, and the reason was only because: a peaceful Middle-earth was more in line with the interests of the Magic Continent. This is also the reason why large-scale wars rarely break out between the major empires of Middle-earth.
Although he did not understand, Alex was ready to do what his father wanted. Still in the form of an ordinary merchant, he traveled north to find out where Reicor was, and kept at least a day's distance from Manuda.
On the day Manuda and his party arrived in Nice, Alex heard a shocking piece of news in a small town near Nice.
"Quick! to Nice!" he turned on his horse and walked away, followed by a dozen or so retinues on horseback and whips.
Just now, a passing potions merchant in the town replied in surprise after listening to Darkan's description: "The man you are talking about is not Master Kevin, the medicine saint, that girl seems to be a student of the master, I haven't heard that she is a half-elf, what is her name......
After Manuda entered Nice, without any temptation or hesitation, he went directly to the Bell Institute until he was stopped by the knight legion at the gate.
"No one is allowed to enter the Bell Institute without permission!" spoke the head of the Knights of the Guards of the Duchy of Ukulele.
"Who?" asked one of Manuda's attendants in front of his car.
"We are the Guards under the command of Grand Duke Violet......"
Before the knight could finish speaking, Manuda waved his hand lightly, "Kill ......"
As soon as the words fell, there were already four followers, who drew their swords at the same time, and came out of the crowd.
These are all fallen knights from the Knight Federation, and the weakest one is also a sixth-level knight, and there are generally only knights of the second and third levels on the opposite side, where is their opponent.
After the fighting spirit and sword light flashed, more than a dozen corpses were left on the ground, and hundreds of other knights scattered to both sides, their eyes showing horror.
"The patriarch of the Princh family is doing business, and the one who stands in the way is dead!"
The knight who spoke, the sword in his hand still dripping blood.
Whether it was the strength he had just shown, the eyes in his eyes at the moment, or the origin reported in his mouth, it all made those knights shy away.
Manuda glanced at these people coldly, and ordered again: "Go in, arrest people......"
All but one of the retinue who remained with Manuda and Odo rushed into the institute.
Inside the small laboratory on the fifth floor of the laboratory.
Donner was staring intently at the beaker in his hand.
This is not the tube he usually uses for his experiments. At this time, all the utensils on the table in front of him were replaced with larger ones.
On the stand to his right, in the last tube, contained a tube of bright red liquid.
That's right, after more than four months and thousands of experiments, he finally got the perfect ratio of the "twin divine element".
The book that records the data, on the page opened, fifteen proportions, thirty numbers, lined up, they are the key to the pure "twin gods".
He carefully aligned the balance in the direction of the line to avoid being disturbed by the difference in gravity in the north-south direction, which he did more like an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Then he put the beaker in his hand on one end of the scale, and at the other end of the scale, the weights had already been placed one by one from large to smallest—this was calculated according to the weight of the other bottle of liquid, and after considering the weight of the beaker itself, according to the proportion.
One of the slimnest droppers reached into the beaker, and as the dropper continued to move the liquid away, this end of the balance slowly floated out of the base.
After waiting for a moment, Donner poured another drop, then two, into the beaker.
Finally, the scales are completely balanced.
Then, Donner combined this cup of liquid medicine with the other cup that had just been prepared into a large beaker, and carefully shook it a few times to make sure that there was no residue before putting the large beaker on the fire to heat.
After a few minutes, the liquid in the beaker turned into a bright red, thick liquid identical to the one in the tube.
Finally, the stabilizing solution is dropped, and then these liquids are carefully divided into three medicine bottles, sealed thoroughly, and finally it is done!
"Rickle!" he shouted, and in his excitement he even called out the half-elf girl's real name.
"I'm sorry, something just happened. "It was Ceoses, the Rose Knight, who spoke.
"What's wrong? What's going on?" said Donner, "Why are you here? Did the dwarves call you? What about them? What about Rickle?"
"I never left Nice, and the dwarfs probably arrived a little later. Ceoses shrugged his shoulders and said, "Didn't you hear it just now?"
"Lively? I didn't pay attention. What happened?"
"I'm the only one who can only protect you first. So...... Your half-elf student was captured by the Princh gang. ”
"What about people?!"
"It's downstairs, you can see it from the window. ”
Before Ceoses could finish speaking, Donner had already pushed the window out. (To be continued.) )
