"What did you say?"

Hall, who was settling accounts, was interrupted by Pars's words, and he took the precious amber lens off his eye, and took out a handkerchief and wiped it in his hand.

"He's awake? and you'll be told that his name is Mayne, and he's an apothecary apprentice?"

Pars nodded heavily,

"Well, yes, Mayne also told me that the few things he brought with him when he fainted were given to him by his mentor for self-defense, such as the lethal venom contained in these three vials!"

As he spoke, the little young master threw the three small jade bottles he was carrying on the table in disgust, and then lay on the bed in the carriage, his hands tugged at the bottom of the bed full of sundries, and took out two magic crystals and a thin worn-out manual.

"He said that these two magic crystals are spell tools made by the mages of Sam City, called "grenades" or something, this book is a manual that records the knowledge of the apothecary, and the two short knives you took away, which he used to dissect beasts, I am going to return these things to Mayne, after all, this is his thing, we can't keep it for ourselves!"

Hall looked at Pars with a righteous face a little speechless, and the latter quickly became a little at a loss, only to hear Hall sigh,

"Well, you little fool, you have been sold and you have counted the money for others, forget it, so go and tell Khufu to bring that boy into this carriage, and we will definitely give it back to him, but I have some things to ask him." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Pars glanced at Hall, who was lost in thought, and shrugged his shoulders in the same way as Elevenn just now, he thought this action was simply handsome!

After a while, Elevan, who was still wrapped in a circle of bandages, was brought in by the caravan's chief of guard, who first glanced at the excited Pars, smiled at him, and then stood honestly opposite Hall, like a timid child who had just left home.

"Thank you for saving my life, graciful elder. ”

Hall smiled and reached out to stop Elivan from continuing to say thank you, he put his arms on the table, just supporting his chin, squinting slightly, his eyes containing some kind of light,

"Hear Pars say you're an apprentice pharmacist?"

"Yes, that's right, I'm from Sam City, the city of mages, and I have a nobody mentor who will probably become a nobody in the future. ”

Elivan seemed to be open-minded to answer Hall's question, but his eyes were secretly observing the surroundings, this was the sequelae left after that bloody night, the unfamiliar environment would make Elivan unconsciously become a little sensitive, this abnormal sensitivity even Elivan himself was a little uncontrollable.

Hall nodded, and then picked up a jade bottle filled with green liquid from the table, revealing a deep luster in the faint light, which was very beautiful, but Hall just looked left and right, and threw the three jade bottles to Elivan, and then asked,

"Is this really terrible poison?"

"Uh... After all, for ordinary people, it is difficult for a pharmacist not to call it a poison. ”

Elivan took the jade bottle, didn't care to look at it carefully, but carefully put it in his pocket, while perfunctory the old man, while focusing his eyes on a few things on the table, it was a thin old book, it looked like it had just been picked up from the garbage heap, even the outer skin of the book was a little tattered, and there were two crystal clear magic crystals, each the size of an egg, and finally a pair of deformed short swords wrapped in rags, although it seemed to be the most valuable of the three things on the surface, in fact it was the most meaningless one for the current Eleven。

The strange old man smiled and put his hand on the pair of short swords wrapped in strips of cloth, with a creepy nostalgic tone, while touching the terrifying blood groove on the short knife with his hand, while staring at Elivan, who was already a little restless, with deep meaning, he asked.

"You usually use this thing to dissect beasts?"

"Hmm.... ”

"Huh!"

Before Elivan could make up his words, the old man who straightened up flicked his fingers, and the short sword that was originally placed on the table was immediately like an arrow, whining and piercing into the wall of the carriage behind Elivan, the swift speed made Elivan not even react, he just subconsciously felt a cold sideburns, and then the familiar smell of blood wafted in.

The sword slashed Eleven's forehead and left a shallow scratch on his face.

"Say, boy, I'll listen. ”

At this time, Hall's cold voice floated into Eleven's ears, but the latter was already a little unable to suppress the anger that began to boil in his heart, behind Hall's invisible, Elavin clenched his fist fiercely, and then immediately let go, he himself lowered his head and let out a breath, and when he looked up again, his face was already full of smiles,

"Well, I admit I lied to you!"

Eleven's hands were spread out and he made a very helpless expression, and he said as he looked directly at Hall's frowning brow,

"But it's also for your own good, although I don't know how strong the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce is, but if you know the secret I carry, then you will also be crushed to death like a bedbug like my mentor. ”

As he spoke, he also used his thumb and forefinger next to each other and made a crushing motion.

"The boy has a big breath, and although the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce is weak, it will not run away from the wind. ”

Old Hall stared at Elevenn with sharp eyes like a harrier eagle, he didn't think that the latter's words were still lies, in fact, if there was a child the size of Pars who deceived himself with lies, then Old Hall thought that he was already old and confused, and he asked without hesitation,

"Tell me, I'm interested in your story. ”

Eliven sighed helplessly, and then pointed his finger at Pars, who had become angry because he had deceived his young mind, who was clenching his little fist and glaring at Eleven,

"Let him go out first, and it won't do him any good to listen to what I'm going to say next." ”

Hearing this, Old Hall also nodded, and said to Pars,

"You go out first, little Pars, and, call Khufu and them over. ”

"Why! Grandpa Hall, this nasty guy lied to me!

Like an enraged little beast, Pars was about to pounce on Elivan as he spoke, only to be pushed out of the carriage by the neck by old Hall.

When Old Hall turned around again, there were only two people left in the small carriage.

"Master Pars said I lied to him, but I didn't. ”

Elivan pursed his lips and leaned back in the carriage with his hands on his shoulders,

"My name is Mayne, Mayne Ward, and indeed Sam City's apothecary apprentice, the only thing I hide is my mentor, the poor creature who was killed, you may not be familiar with him, he is very famous in Sam City, his name is Ben Fleming, one of the greatest pharmacists in the City of Mages. ”

Elevenn reached for the book on the table, a gesture that made Hale's eyes twinkle, but the latter stiffly stopped raising his hand as if nothing had happened.

In fact, when Eliven took the book, his heart was also beating wildly, he was afraid that the story he made up would be seen through by Old Hall, but he himself thought that the probability was very low, because Ben Fleming was real, and he was indeed a famous pharmacist in Sam City, and he was one of the many comrades-in-arms of Showman and Sass that night, and the old man who had broken his aquatic blue lotus star at first sight was his own elder.

"Mr. Fleming, please bless your juniors. ”

Elivan prayed silently in his heart for a moment, then put the book close to him, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Hall's words, the old man closed his eyes, as if he was caught in a long memory, and even the words became a little weak.

"Your mentor.... Ben Fleming, who fought in the Northern Campaign, right? The famous First Battle Mage Squad of the Council of the Nine Towers, if I'm not mistaken, was the team doctor and the captain, and his wife was Alice Ford, from the Southern Plains..."

"Wait"

Elevenn stretched out his hand to interrupt Hall's words and corrected him seriously,

"Mr. Mentor did participate in the Northern Campaign back then, but he never served as the captain of the team, and the team he belonged to was only nominally part of the Council of the Nine Towers, not the First Battle Mage Squad at all, and the mentor never married, where did he come from? ”

Eliven looked at Hall with a resentful expression, his face full of anger after the elders were humiliated, this gesture certainly made Hall very uncomfortable, but the huge waves in his heart made him choose to be silent.

As mentioned earlier, Old Hall and Pars's grandfather were also participants in the Northern Campaign, and they were lucky to survive to the end, but in fact, Old Hall never told young Pars a lot of things, he originally thought that those old memories would slowly pass over time, and eventually accompany him into the grave, but he didn't expect that in the mouth of the child like a young wolf opposite, he heard the name that made him miss and made him unable to face.

"The Council of the Nine Towers?"

Hall asked in a low voice with his eyes closed, his deep voice full of sadness and sadness that Eliven couldn't understand, but the boy nodded, and then lowered his head and didn't speak, as if he was also saddened by Fleming's death, and the whole carriage fell into silence.

"Grandpa Hall, Uncle Khufu, they're here!"

While Hall was pondering, Pars's immature voice broke the silence in the carriage, and Old Hall opened his eyes, staring directly at Eleven, who had his head bowed, and after a few breaths, he spoke,

"I don't care if you're a disciple of Monsieur Fleming or not, or where you come from, as you said, you're carrying too many secrets for a single Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce to bear, so I'll take you to Bordeaux, but that's all there is to it, do you understand?"

Elevenn immediately raised his head, his face full of incredulity, with a hint of joy that could not be concealed, he had imagined many situations for Old Hall's final decision, but he never thought that this old man, who seemed to be difficult to deal with, would agree to help him escape.

Looking at Elivan's joy, Old Hall snorted coldly, but still made an explanation.

"In the Northern Campaign, Mr. Fleming saved me and Pars's grandfather, and this time it was a life-saving grace in return. ”

After nightfall, Elivan lay down on his bare bed with a relaxed face, even if the surrounding environment was still as messy and dirty as before, but at this moment, the heart he had been mentioning was calmed down, and with the dim lantern on the table, the young man took out the worn-out magic book, at this moment, Elivan prayed silently in his heart.

"May you be well in heaven, Mr. Fleming, and I will avenge you, in the name of Mogding. ”

---------------------------------------------------------

Ben Fleming, a well-known figure in the Gray Plains, was born twenty-three years before the Northern Campaign, the youngest son of a long-established mage family, who participated in the Northern Campaign as a family representative, but chose to stay away from home after the war, and stayed in Sam City for more than thirty years, during which he single-handedly developed hundreds of potions, and was the first to propose and improve the new pharmacist assessment system.

There are many mages who evaluate Fleming as the best pharmacist under the alchemy tower master of the Nine Towers Council, but the bad relationship between him and the Nine Towers Council is also as well-known as his reputation, Ben never allowed people from the Nine Towers Council to enter his laboratory, and even openly resisted the expansion of the Nine Towers Council more than once, but the Nine Towers Council didn't seem to see this matter, allowing Ben to smear at will, with this, Ben is definitely one of the most influential people in Sam City.

However, no one knows that in an encounter between the Dragon Canyon and the orc elite army Blade Kucaron, Ben, who was just a young medical officer, disobeyed the orders of his boss and privately helped a team of mercenaries who were captured by the orcs, but he escaped back to treat his injuries, and finally was discovered by his jealous Ben-Fleming's colleagues, and the boss who wanted to be greedy for merit sued Ben to a military court on the charge of harboring spies, and Ben's bright future was also ruined。

By the way, Ben also hooked up with Sass and Human and others at that time.

No one knows how sad and angry Ben was when he was framed, but the old people who experienced the war at that time knew that as long as the mercenaries who were taken in by Ben privately stood up and showed that they were not orc spies, they could have cleared their names, but until the end of the war, those mercenaries never appeared, and as a result, the soldiers who survived the war were angrily denounced as cowards, scum and so on.

Old Hall and Pars's grandfather were just one of the mercenaries Ben had taken in.

"Even though we won the war, we lost ourselves, and since that hasty escape, we have become cowards. ”
