Chapter 259: Prologue: Khaki Chapter (11)
Two days passed.
The herbs in the cave are gone, and the food is gone.
Last night, a series of gunshots rang out outside, and I was nervous with my sister Andili in my arms, and in the morning I found that only one of the three alchemists who had gone outside to look for food had returned.
With a panicked face, he hurriedly blocked the hole with gravel, and then covered his injured arm and lay in the corner.
Joseph wanted to go over to help with the treatment, but was yelled at by the other party in disgust.
"What the hell have you been through?"
I went to the alchemist, dug out the bullet from the wound with a knife, and then treated it with healing magic.
"They...... They were all dead, shot to death by that devil! ”
After treating him, he looked nervous, hugged his knees, and talked to himself on the ground, not knowing what he was talking about.
I looked at Joseph and asked, "Why is that guy chasing us!" ”
Joseph shook his head and said, "I didn't know at all, this guy is not for money, only for killing, crazy...... Crazy! ”
I guessed in my heart, I think, could that guy be the killer sent by the imperial political forces to assassinate His Highness Merlot?
Or maybe they were sent by the people of Delmar North Asia!
The second is the least likely.
Because Delmar North Asia has signed a peace treaty with the Jincaster Empire, once His Royal Highness Merlot dies here, then the two countries will inevitably break out into conflict.
At that time, the second prince, who was in the imperial capital of Demar North Asia and served as an ambassador of peace, can come back or say another matter.
So I think that the boss of the boy is most likely the political power of the empire.
For example, the eldest prince, or other princesses.
It is undoubtedly advantageous for them to get rid of two political opponents at once.
You can't sit still like this, or you'll die sooner or later.
"Your Highness, it's not a way for us to stay here, don't you have a magic prop to call for help?"
"Yes, but it's useless, there seems to be some power here that shields my magic items."
"That's right."
His Royal Highness Merlot coughed a few times and whispered to me, "Do you still have any pills, I don't feel well?" ”
I handed her the remaining pill and said, "This is the last one." ”
"Why don't you go to practice soon?" His Royal Highness Merlot quickly swallowed the elixir with an eager expression.
"Yes!"
I glanced at the guard beside her, Mondo, and timidly walked to the position of the alchemy furnace.
While no one was paying attention, I secretly collected a small vial of blood on the corpse next to me.
The blood is running out of blood, so it's not the way to go!
Just as I was worried about disposing of the blood in this way because there was no medicinal herb, I accidentally caught a glimpse of Xia Ermi in the corner, looking at me.
She quickly withdrew her gaze and curled up in the corner, looking terrified.
She's mute, and I don't have to worry about her telling me the secret of my blood collection.
"Your Highness, drink the medicine."
"Huh, why...... Is it blood, what about the elixir? ”
His Highness Merlot looked at the bottle I handed over, his face full of shock.
I explained, "There are no herbs left, so we can only do this." ”
"You want me to drink the blood of the dead!" His Royal Highness Merlot looked disgusted.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to drink it.
I added some anesthetic powder to it, and she quickly fell asleep.
"Andili, drink the medicine!"
"Senior, this is blood!"
"Uh-huh, drank it."
"No...... No! ”
I looked at Andili in amazement and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to drink it before?" ”
Andili hesitated for a moment and said, "But I didn't say I wanted to drink...... Human blood! ”
I forcibly fed her, which was also sprinkled with numbing powder, and she quickly fell asleep.
I'm here today, I'm sleepy and want to get some sleep.
I was so hungry that I woke up several times at night about food.
"Ahh
A faint scream woke me up.
I turned my head to see Mondo piercing the iron sword through the alchemist's neck.
His Highness Merlot stood beside me and said, "Give me the medicine now, with his blood!" ”
She looked grim at the dead alchemist.
Joseph and Charmie and I were terrified, and Andili was asleep and didn't know any of this.
The alchemist had a few potatoes hidden on him, and Mondo roasted them and distributed them to His Highness Merlot.
I also got one, but I threw it into the alchemy furnace, added blood, and finally refined it into a few pills that were not big or small.
Alchemists are like that, sometimes mixing strange things together to make elixirs.
This is the most basic ability.
With the elixir, it should be able to withstand it for a while.
I noticed that Joseph and Charmie were panicking, especially when they saw me disposing of corpses.
They finally understood why the two corpses next to me were getting more and more shriveled.
In the middle of the night, gunshots rang out outside.
I opened my eyes and found that Joseph was gone.
He ran.
I judged that he should have been chased by the teenager outside, and he was more than lucky.
Coupled with the fact that he is infected, even if he escapes, it won't take long for him to die.
I looked at Charmie and saw that her face was full of fear, and she was hiding in a corner, shivering.
Mondo killed the alchemist before him, and he will kill her later, acting as a source of blood.
It's not just her, I'm possible.
As long as it is blood, it does not need to be refined into an elixir, and taking it directly can also have the effect of delaying the disease.
I don't know how crazy His Highness Merlot will be, or why the boys outside are going to kill us.
I just want to get out with Andili.
The next morning.
A clear juvenile voice came from outside.
"The people inside, don't hide in the cave and wait for death, come out, we can talk!"
The teenager outside finally started to communicate with us.
Through the stone wall, I listened to the words of the young man outside, and my heart hesitated.
He looked at Her Highness Merlot and saw that she was contemplating.
"Sooner or later, you will starve to death if you stay inside, there is no water and no food in it, come out and let's talk, I can stop killing you, continue to consume, it is not good for you and me." The voice of a teenager.
"What do you really want, money, or rights, or ask him for something?" His Highness Merlot asked.
The boy replied, "I don't want anything, I warned you before, don't come in, you are killing yourself, infected by bacteria, no wonder I." ”
His Royal Highness Merlot asked, "How did you know about germs?" ”
The boy said, "I have known for a long time that this kind of thing exists, I am the keeper of the mountain here, you can send someone out and talk to me, I have something to tell you!" ”
His Highness Merlot and I were very hesitant to discuss whether or not to go out.
I offered to say, "Let me go, I'll talk to him and see what he really wants to say?" ”
His Royal Highness Merlot immediately said: "No, you can't go, let her go!" ”
His Highness Merlot pointed to Sharmie.
Sharmi shook her head in a panic, looking very scared.
I said, "Just let me go, she's mute, what news can she bring us when she comes back?" ”
His Royal Highness Merlot said: "You are of great use, you can't go out on an adventure, let your junior sister go!" ”
"No way!" I immediately refused, "She's still young, she might die if she goes!" ”
"Let Mondo go?" I propose.
His Royal Highness Merlot shook his head and ordered: "No, he can't either, just let your junior sister go!" ”
"I strongly disagree!"
Just when I was at a stalemate with His Highness Merlot.
Andili suddenly raised her hand and whispered, "I...... I'll go out, senior, don't make any more noise. ”
Mondo said: "She herself agreed, let her go out and talk to the guy outside, or we will all die!" ”
Reluctantly, I looked at Andili and shook my head slightly.
But she stubbornly walked to the mouth of the cave, stretched out her bear claws, and dug out a small hole that only she could get out of.
I tried to go over and pull her back, but Mondo grabbed me by the collar and wouldn't let me go.
"Bang!"
Half a minute later, a gunshot rang out outside.
I felt bad in my heart, and I roared and pushed Mondo away and ran towards the entrance of the cave.
Andili ...... Andili, how are you, answer me! ”
"Don't go out, you idiot!"
Mondo hugged me, immobilized, and threw me to the ground, blocking the hole that Andili had dug earlier.
The young man's voice came again: "I'm sorry, I forgot to say, you don't send the infected out, I need a normal person!" ”
I stood up and roared, "You bastard, what did you do to her, bastard!" ”
The young man said, "Don't you know when you come out to see?" ”
"I'm going to kill you!" I was furious.
"Sharmie, go out and talk to him!" The voice of His Highness Merlot.
I looked at her in surprise and said, "It's all this time, and you still believe in that devil outside?" ”
His Royal Highness Merlot said: "You have to try it, if he dares to go back again, it's a big deal not to send someone." ”
I yelled, "You're gambling with your life!" ”
"Shut up, you're not in a position to accuse me!" His Royal Highness Merlot scolded.
Mondo immediately gave me a kick and knocked me down on the spot.
"If you want to live, listen to Your Highness's instructions with peace of mind!" Mondo's voice.
"You ......"
I looked at the two in front of me, feeling unworthy for Andili's death, and hated Merlot and Mondo very much.
If it weren't for the two of them, Andili wouldn't have gone out to die.
Shalmie was threatened by Mondo, who had drawn his iron sword, and walked tremblingly towards the entrance of the cave.
Merlot suddenly said, "Forget it, I'll think about it again...... Ahem, ahem, ahem. ”
She started coughing violently, looked at me, and said, "You hurry up and collect some blood, I'm feeling more and more uncomfortable!" ”
I clenched my fists and didn't make a move.
"What are you doing in a daze, didn't you hear what Your Highness said?" Mondo scolded.
"Yes!" I bowed my head and began to calculate.
I can't be ordered like this anymore, I have to find a way to escape for my own sake.
I'm sad that Andili is dead.
It's all because of Merlot and her dogleg Mondo.
Now I have to deal with them first before I can ensure the safety of my life now.
Otherwise, it is very likely that they will be killed as blood.
