Chapter 49: Reliable Alice

Li Ang's head was a little dizzy, and his feet were also weak, but he still covered his mouth and nose with one hand and went over to untie the horse's reins.

As soon as Alice was let go, she trotted all the way to the nearby meadow, and kept her horse's head down and sniffed on the grass.

Then the pretty little mare seemed to have found something and began to nibble on the grass on the ground.

While gnawing, he also snorted with a "poof" snort.

Leon also ran over, plucked a few unknown grasses from Alice's mouth, stuffed them into his mouth, and began to chew violently—the grass that the horses would look for must be useful!

The grass didn't know what it was, the juice was so bitter that Li Ang rolled his eyes, and the taste made him cough desperately.

But the effect is very obvious - immediately after coughing, the head is no longer dizzy!

Leon hugged Alice's neck and kissed her fiercely, then picked up two handfuls of grass and ran back to Anson.

Anson was now wrapping his face in his clothes, rolling Klose's eyelids.

"Anson, how are they? This grass seems to detoxify. ”

"They just looked like they were asleep...... Ah, it's Artemisia! So that's it...... My lord, that's not a dragon's tear! ”

Taking the grass from Leon's hand, Anson stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, and his face was also full of tears.

Until he had chewed it all into the foam, he stuffed it into the nostrils of Klose and the others.

It didn't take long for everyone to come to their senses, and one by one they gritted their teeth and sat down on the edge of the fire, one holding a lump of meat and roasting it.

"What the hell happened to us?"

Klose asked in a low voice, he felt a little ashamed, it was a shame for the warrior to faint in such an unknown way. Now only food can soothe the pain in his heart.

"You're stunned—or asleep, that stone isn't a dragon's tear, it's a snake's heart!"

Anson replied casually.

"What is a Serpent's Heartstone?"

Leon was now quite interested in the stone that could stun people, and in his opinion it was indeed a treasure.

"It's the first time I've seen a real thing. I've read in an old medical book at the seminary that the snake heart stone is a rare hedron that is not actually considered a poison, but it can make people dizzy and drowsy if you get close to it—of course, if no one cares about it, you may fall into a corpse. Because it is the same shape as the heart of the snake, it is named the heart stone in the book. ”

Anson explained by drawing a shape with his finger.

"How could something so horrible not be poison?"

Klose was a little apprehensive, he thought it was terrible to fall asleep with such an inexplicable thing.

"Because this lethargy is easy to lift. Artemisia is a very common herb with a strong taste and a pungent smell that can quickly wake people up. Moreover, the book says, there was once a continent where doctors could use snake stones to make patients fall asleep...... Then cut off the diseased limb or internal organs with a knife in a coma and replace them with intact organs, so that the seriously ill patient can be cured ......"

Anson gestured at Klose and patiently explained.

Klose shuddered: "Nonsense! That's impossible...... How can you still survive when you cut off the internal organs! ”

Anson shrugged: "I also saw it in the book...... If that's true, that's good news for all! It even means that any injury can be cured! ”

Klose's head shook like a swing: "No, no, no...... That's impossible! ”

The big guy is used to cutting other people's bodies into pieces, and he is used to the parts of the enemy flying all over the sky, but it is still difficult for him to imagine that human internal organs can be replaced!

Klose didn't even think the roast on the fire was fragrant.

Li Ang nodded, only he could understand Anson's dedication to saving lives and helping the wounded, it was because of people like Anson that the technological level of human beings would develop step by step.

"So, where can I get this snake heart stone?"

The lord asked, propping his chin and looking at the water bag containing the snake heart stone.

"It's rare, but it seems to be found on a regular basis, and it's been found in my hometown of Eichkoman, and even more in the Bacchus Empire. It's just ......"

Anson frowned and groaned.

"How?"

"My lord, they were all found at the altar of the Serpent Cult......"

Li Ang raised his eyebrows: "I heard that people who worship the snake sect will confuse people and then lure people into the sect?" ”

Anson nodded and agreed with Li Ang's judgment: "It is very likely that worshipping the snake sect is to use the snake heart stone to make people unconscious, and then trick them into becoming a cultist. The Bacchus Empire has encircled and suppressed many times, and has obtained a lot of snake heart stones, but without exception, this thing will gradually disappear by itself in a few days......"

Disappear?

Leon picked up the leather water bag and shook it, he understood the reason why Risa Dilan used the water bag to put the snake heart stone.

This kind of thing, probably a highly volatile mineral, caused a coma by inhaling volatile gases.

In this era, it is actually difficult to find an effective way to preserve such highly volatile things. Putting it in water is already the most suitable way to store it.

Leon carefully put away the water bag, and to make sure that he had wrapped a few more layers of tent cloth, and planned to let Leslie keep it in a sealed clay pot, which he thought would be very useful.

"Your Excellency...... My heavy armor was pierced by an arrow! Who do you think sent this assassin? This arrow is also too powerful! ”

Klose pulled his armor out of the tent and pointed to the hole in his chest that had been pierced at the thickest point.

"I'm also wondering who can use a sharpshooter like Risadilan, it's really worthy of me......"

Leon had always felt strange, he initially thought that Duke Alma or Forcher had paid for the killer to buy Risadilan, but when he thought about it, it wasn't like that.

Since Rissadillan would shoot the wrong person, it obviously means that Risaderan did not follow the convoy all the time.

In the afternoon he chased himself into the woods, and when he saw his face, he 'huh', and in the evening he came again and shot through the armor of his tent - indicating that his employer recognized him, and described his face in detail to him, and perhaps even mentioned his golden-maned horse.

And Rissadillan was able to find himself in a day without tracking the convoy, which means that Risadiran's employer should know his general location.

After all, he had just come out of the border camp, and he was on the march all day, constantly moving.

The Red Brotherhood certainly doesn't know where they are.

Archduke Alma, who had just taken the town of Changhe, should not know his current position.

The only person who is likely to know his course is the Horn Summoning Ranger Regiment.

It was Ralph who advised him to go to that uninhabited village after being attacked by Gatu.

The problem was that Ralph had no reason to assassinate himself, and if he really wanted to, he could just send someone to the camp - he had hundreds of Rangers with him.

What's going on here?

Leon remembered the strange female voice again.

Twice the same words.

“…… Watch out behind you, kid ......"

Who is this reminding themselves?

Does this phrase refer to an arrow from behind, or something else?

While in the Lion City, he met the Heretic Fallen after seeing the idol of Yunomia, the goddess of order......

And now, after hearing that voice, I met a killer of the grade of Risa Diran......

No way......

Leon felt that life was so difficult, why did so many unknown enemies want to kill Lord Ben?

"Madan, we have to quickly build a garrison to do a good job of defense, and we have to catch the dangerous element of Risa Dilan!"

There is one more sentence that the lord didn't say - you have to find the right person to defend against the hidden arrows!

Leon didn't have the heart to eat the barbecue, so he picked up the sword that Risadillan had dropped, and sat down next to Alice, with his back against the horse's stake.

Only Alice is the most reliable, she has always helped, and she has never been a moth.

The little mare arched Leon's back with her head, flicking her tail and pumping it around, as if not satisfied with the lord's place.

But Leon wasn't going to leave, he felt safer next to Alice.

Luckily, the horses sleep standing and can sleep anywhere.

Alice had a good temper, and when she saw that Leon didn't leave, she gently rubbed her head against Leon's face and took a step back, allowing the lord to occupy its horse's seat.
