Chapter 315: Assassination is coming
A certain lich who has recovered his physical body but is in a weakened period has been taken care of by two young girls, and even has someone to help him walk.
Looking at that posture, it makes people want to hit a thousand, and say hello: Lafayette is auspicious.
The style of painting is wrong, right? Someone has shouted like this in his heart more than once.
Because the two girls had all their thoughts on their sisters, the teachers were innocently marginalized. But to be honest, someone still misses living alone.
But I can't help but feel the heart of those two ghostly little girls. Fen, who hadn't been a human for too long, made countless mistakes with common sense levels, proving that she needed the care of others very much.
For Fen in the past, eating before is just in a good mood and taking a bite; The taste is amazing, take a few more bites, that's all. But when eating becomes a must, the degree of pickiness of this goods makes a certain traveler breathtaking.
The water is treated in the wrong way, causing a peculiar smell, no! The heat is a little worse, although the thing is not as miserable as the sandwich, but it is still not good! The amount of seasoning ginseng is poor, so that the umami that should come out does not come out, or the wrong seasoning is used to make it taste weird, of course, it is not good!
Because of this, the cooking skills of the two girls have made great progress. If you don't make progress, you can't do it. My sister didn't reproach, but just shook her head and stopped eating. This kind of performance can make the two girls panic more than any harsh words.
In addition to eating, there are many trivial things in life, and if there are no two young girls to help them, I am afraid that this lich, who has just come to life, will kill this body again.
But now that Fen has regained his human appearance, the group has no psychological burden to enter towns, villages, etc. Counting his fingers, starting from the Wadwo tribe who left the wood elves, they have been nesting in this wild for more than a month. So when they found that there was a small town in the direction of their advance, the group was impatient to drive the horses and pull the carts there.
The protection of a small town is much higher than that of a normal village. At least the gatekeepers here are not beggars or ruffians, but a serious garrison of 800.
Although they are not as well-equipped as the regular army, they can only wear some 'family' leather armor that is quite old, and they hold weapons that are quite well maintained, but they also have the marks of several battles. Such a group of people, however, are proud of their duties and do their best.
Even though it's a small town with a small population and not a lot of vendors, it's a fascinating place. Beasts, monsters, it's not news to enter the village and bite a handful of people to death. Therefore, the duties of this group of gatekeepers are more important than imagined. And it seems, they are also doing their job well.
Lin has always been respectful of those who do their duty. So when they interrogated, Lin did not resist answering. You must know that many masters, for the little people in such a small place, they will give each other a profound lesson if they don't agree with each other. The dignity of a beautiful magician should not be insulted, in fact, there are many elements of light and soft, and fear of hardness.
After paying the tax for entering the town, Lin and his party successfully entered the town. Since it is not located on a thriving trade road, there are no inns in the town that cater to caravans. For someone, the more troublesome thing is how to arrange the belongings of that car.
Luckily, even though the town's inns don't offer separate courtyard accommodation, there are warehouses where guests can store their belongings. After the two maidens had taken some effort to remove the canopy of the carriage and cover the contents of the carriage, it was their sister's turn to take action. Fen didn't chant a mantra either, hooked his fingers, and an elemental creature appeared out of thin air.
It was a rather burly earth elemental creature, and its humanoid form was quite complete, so it was known that it belonged to a high-level elemental creature. Using the spell used by the magician, Fen said, 'Guard the goods on this carriage. ’
'Yes, noble one. ’
For this thousand-year-old demon king, Lin already knows what it means to be strange or not. So I just glanced at this level of elemental creatures, and I didn't pay attention to it. In addition to being big and quite scary, that thing can't withstand a few tricks against people who are really capable.
Entering the lobby of the inn's Chinese restaurant and bar, there are no customers at noon, because this is not the time for a main meal. But there was still a cook at the back of the bar, and when he saw the guests entering, he greeted lukewarmly: "Travelers from afar, what do you need?" ”
"What do you have to eat?"
"White bread, broth, ale."
It's a menu that doesn't really come with anything new. Lin belly sneered, but he still said: "Let's eat for four." Two glasses of ale. ”
"Wait a minute."
While waiting, Lin paid special attention to the other guests in the hall. They sat sparsely in the corner seats, some with a glass of half-empty ale on the table, and some with nothing but their faces covered with their hats, curled up and resting.
After a while, the food was ready and smelled good. Lin is afraid that someone will start to be picky again, and the whole chef will not be able to get off the stage, so what should he do if he drives his group to the street?
But when I saw that one took a sip of hot soup first, his eyes suddenly lit up. It didn't look like he was going to criticize, so Lin put down the big stone in his heart.
Picking up the big spoon, Lin scooped a sip of broth and was about to drink it, but he was caught off guard, and the spoon in his hand was slapped away by Fen. The sound of the spoon falling to the floor caught the attention of everyone in the hall. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, especially the cook, who frowned, slightly offended by the fact that someone had treated the food he had done to him.
And for the lich's unprecedented behavior, Lin also felt inexplicable, and asked, "What's wrong?" Doesn't even the soup make people taste good? ”
"If you want to die, it's okay to drink it."
"What do you mean?" Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and Lin blurted out, "This soup is poisonous?" ”
Lin, who didn't think about lowering his voice, of course caused an uproar in the shifting formation. Especially the cook, seeing that he has a kitchen knife in his hand. Fen didn't care, and continued to eat and drink, while saying, "I want to think about what this tastes like." Frost mushrooms, mantora grass, well, this stimulus is arsenic. Come to think of it, it seems like a recipe from my time, called Death Summoning. But there's still a lack of Xiling flowers, and this plus it's perfect. ”
looked at the person in front of him, took a sip of soup, said a noun, someone was only dumbfounded, and asked: "You said it was very poisonous, and you criticized it while eating." Is this poisonous or not? ”
"I'm a lich. This level of poison can't poison me, and the new **, that is even more taboo. If you want to poison me, the person who poisoned me has to be more creative. ”
"Hey, you guys!" The chef standing behind the bar couldn't help it, walked out with a kitchen knife, and scolded: "You keep saying that poison is not poison, scaring other people, and destroying my reputation, I will not sit idly by." ”
"Woooooooooooo Suddenly, there was a mournful cry that interrupted the two sides who were about to start an argument. It was a big white dog that had eaten pieces of meat and soup that had just been slapped to the ground by Fen and almost eaten by someone. It only whimpered a few times before falling to the ground, its tongue hanging from its mouth, and blood pouring from its eyes, nostrils, and corners of its mouth. The death was horrible.
The fall of the white dog made the originally imposing cook panic. He hadn't thought that his broth was really poisonous, and he was still entertaining a few guests who didn't seem to be easy to mess with.
Not to mention Lin, a mediocre-looking black-haired stranger, running this kind of shop that will come into contact with many strangers, the chef is actually the lady who is so beautiful that she doesn't look like a human being. He didn't think that a woman without the slightest bit of self-preservation could walk through the mountains and wilderness to this town. In particular, several protectors also seem to be in a weak condition.
Since you guess that the other party is not easy to mess with, then this pot of poisonous broth, isn't it going to be swallowed by yourself? Thinking of this, the cook's face turned blue and cold sweat broke out. And the other guests are also frightened and overwhelmed, although they want to leave, but what if they are taken as murderers by these outsiders?
Seeing the dog fall, Lin had mixed feelings in his heart. Almost, it was himself who fell. It doesn't seem like he's as invincible as he imagined.
Seeing the dead silence in the hall, Fen broke the silence and asked Lin, "Is it him?" At the same time, the corner of his eye pointed to the cook.
According to the ability of this former demon king, everyone in this hall is in her hands. Pinch to death an enemy who dares to poison, what will be the difficulty. Even if the Ombudsman of the Wizards Association came forward, the reason for this lawsuit was on his side.
But someone shook his head and said, "It's not him." ”
"Why?"
Although he couldn't see it on the surface, Lin sensed that the former demon lord was angry and ready to kill at any time. I knew in my heart that it was not so simple to convince Fen of such a thing. But if he wants to hurt innocent people with his conscience, he can't do this kind of thing. So for Fen's question, Lin said seriously:
"If it were him, he would have stayed on the scene, probably to make sure that things were successful. And after seeing the deeds revealed, it is necessary to start the back hand. It's like an outlaw who is prepared in the store in advance, rushing up and killing the target. But instead of doing so, his blood pressure increased, he had night sweats, and he looked panicked. So I guess he didn't do it. ”
"Is it possible that he just couldn't get there and didn't think about what to do next? Thinking that as long as he planned well, the target he wanted to assassinate would be so stupid that he didn't notice anything, and obediently ate the poison. ”
"If that were the case, he wouldn't have come forward to reason with us in the first place until the poison in the food had been confirmed. If you have a ghost in your heart, shouldn't you keep silent, lower your sense of existence, hide in an inconspicuous place, and think about a way to escape from here? ”
"Well, he's good at acting?"
"If you just want to be angry, you can find any reason. If it's not, it's not baa. If you still don't believe him, get his soul out and ask. That's not what you're best at. And the soul doesn't lie. ”
"Well, you'll always be convinced. It's a really bad feeling. As soon as Fen said this, the cook was relieved and let out a long breath. It's just that he still looked at Lin and his party with fear, and it is not uncommon for the masters to do things over and over again. If people say that they will spare someone's life, but they are directly behind their backs, then they will have nowhere to cry.
As if knowing the worry in the cook's heart, Lin waved his hand and motioned for the other party to bring clean food again, he looked at Fen with a smile at the same time and said, "I'm a reasonable person." Harmony is precious, and morality is convincing. ”</tent>
