The Silver Tower is a sorcerer's tower with many facilities, and there are roads throughout the tower for easy access. After just walking down a short hallway, Curt and Lizzie arrived in the Captain's personal study room, which was filled with marvelous spell items.

It wasn't long ago that Curt had come to François's personal laboratory, and in just a short period of time, the already rich collection seemed to have grown a lot. Several of the disorganized piles appear to have been moved from the monastery of Wigginas.

The large laboratory is much quieter today than it was last time, and many of the people who used to work here don't know where they're going. Perhaps feeling that the master's body was a little uncomfortable, those rare birds and beasts also fell silent, quietly cowering in the corner and dozing off.

It wasn't just the creatures, the floating lampstand floating beside the spiral staircase had been replaced by some kind of dim, warm light source, and the light scattered from it had become very soft. Illuminated by these glowing glow-in-color glowing glow-in-the-dark, spell products reflect a mysterious glow.

"This smells ......," Lizzie muttered in a voice that only Curt could hear, her frowning face as if covered with a cloud, "No, this potion ......"

The smell of a certain herb wafts through the city along with the warm moisture, and a slight bitter aroma mixes in one place, making people's nose itch for a while. Lizzie twitched, as if to discern the contents of the herb, but after glancing at François's face without saying anything, she finally chose to remain silent.

"Feel free to find a place to sit down, both of you. I'm so sorry. I'm not feeling well today, and I really can't entertain you well. ”

After entering the reception room, Dean François snapped his fingers lightly. A few intricately crafted chairs were placed on the table under the control of the invisible hand. After the two sat down, a ceramic cup filled with steaming herbal tea appeared in their hands out of thin air.

The "hands" that are difficult to capture visually are actually invisible servants of Cruise François, who are more than ninety percent of the elemental creatures of air. They lack the ability to think, and their actions must be guided by the caster, but they are indeed very convenient servants.

Curiously, François, as the caster, did not let the invisible minions serve him this time. After glancing at the two people who were seated safely, he smiled wryly and picked up a black metal pot on his right, and poured some bubbling green paste liquid into the teacup on the table.

It's not the same as the smell of herbs that permeates the air. These slimy liquids have a fragrance that is different from the outside, and the mere smell of it will lift people's spirits. Maybe it's because of this contrast, but it makes people feel that something is not quite right with these liquids.

"The smell that fills the air is an antidote. It is mashed with the sea and the bird's beak fruit, and then twice the amount of Philo crystal chips are added to the torment. Lizzie's whispers reached Curt through the Soul Connection, and she said them in a strange tone, "Judging by the smell and appearance, the liquid he poured into the teacup should be a neutralizer blended with a large amount of dragon bone grass and a small amount of feather crest. ”

These materials are valuable raw materials. What they all have in common is that they have excellent therapeutic effects and contain some ingredients that can cause damage to the human body. Certain poisons can sometimes be good medicine for the body. However, this kind of prepared "medicine" will still cause great harm to the human body, and if it is not a last resort, few people will choose this treatment method.

"To put it simply...... Cruise François may have been poisoned, and the toxin was so difficult to treat that even he had to use this off-the-beaten-path method to detoxify. Of course, it is not excluded that he has a way to avoid the complications caused by drugs - although I don't know what that way. ”

Lizzie silently analyzed the potion that appeared in front of her, while also observing François's physical condition. It's not just an anomaly, Dean François's magical structure is full of strange fluctuations. Even the air that had surrounded him before showed a slight agitation.

Her analysis is all based on the theory of spells, and there are some obvious anomalies that can be seen by simply looking at the surface of the body. There was a palpable look of fatigue on his face. At first glance, it looks like a patient who has been asleep for a week and has not recovered. Looking at his current appearance, it even makes people feel that the image of always maintaining a gentle smile in the conference room is nothing more than a mirage created by magic.

"Dean François, let me take the liberty of asking...... Something is not quite right with your body, could it be that you have been poisoned?" Curt quietly glanced at Lizzie, and then said in a tone that was a little worried about François's body, "Although I know that you are a good magician, and I know that you know many toxin cures...... But you don't seem to be able to calm down for the past few days, right?"

From that attack onwards, François was running around the academy almost non-stop. In addition to several days of hearings, he had to direct the academy's men to clear the rubble and preside over the rebuilding work - not to mention treatment, not even time to rest.

"I can't hide it from you......"

Sighing softly, François remained at ease, as if he didn't care about the damage to his body.

"Husband Leinster is an experienced mercenary, and he knows my physical condition just by looking at it - you are right, I am indeed poisoned, and it is a somewhat troublesome toxin. However, the type of toxin has been clarified, and the antidote to the right medicine is already being prepared, and it can now be suppressed by these neutralizers alone...... It will take about a week for my body to return to normal. ”

If he had been attacked by the toxin before the attack by True Sight, that is, after sending a few of his men to Curt, that would explain why he didn't use his "power" to stop the attackers during the attack.

"I see...... No, no, I'm not trying to change drinks. ”

Curt subconsciously tapped the corner of the table with his fingers, but he didn't expect that the teacup in his hand turned into a glass full of carbonated drinks in an instant. It may be that the invisible servant on the side of him accidentally understood that he meant knocking on the table to let him change the drink he was offering to something else.

Glancing a little embarrassed at the translucent liquid filled with ice, Curt continued, "That said, those people, the Eyes of Sight, also aim to weaken you. There's a good chance they'll want to take your life when they attack the Academy. ”

After all, human beings are only human beings, and even "heroes" with far human strength will grow old and die. After the most powerful period of life, aging and illness can become troubles, and no matter how hard you struggle, death will come at the end of your life.

Even if he is a strong warlock known as the "Wind of the Twelve Directions", Cruise François is a mere human being who has entered old age. Even if you are a human being, it is difficult to escape from an unexpected attack, which is why he is highly poisoned after being attacked.

And now, François, who has been weakened to the point that he is almost a world away from Cheng Dù in his heyday, does not have much strength left to confront the Eyes of Truth and the people behind them. It was precisely knowing this situation that they dared to directly attack the Silver Glory Tower, where he was in charge.

"This ...... Who knows? After all, the people who want my head may be formed into an army. After thinking for a moment, François said with a helpless smile, "I have been in this position for so many years, and I can't count the people I have offended openly and secretly." And the relatives of those I killed during the Great War, they probably haven't let go of their hatred of me to this day. ”

So, what exactly is it?

The purpose of the True Eyes is still unclear, and they have caused so much chaos in the city of Catrice and the surrounding area, which would be too big if they were only trying to deal with Cruise François. But it is undeniable that as long as this magician survives, then whatever they want to do must first consider his influence, and may even have to clash with him head-on.

If so, it would be a definite solution to get rid of Abbot François and his men before they become a real threat.

"That's right, but it's better not to take this guy too seriously. ”

Lizzie casually picked up Curt's carbonated drink, and discussed with Curt with a soul connection: "Although I don't know what kind of person he is, I don't think he is an object that can be trusted. It's possible that what he said was just to woo you. ”

Indeed, Curt's trust in Dean François was based only on a temporary common interest, and the man in front of him could be the kind of human being who would stop at nothing to achieve his ends. If you trust it casually, you may end up becoming an outcast.

"Dean François, I think there are too many inexplicable aspects of this incident. Curt then looked at François and said, "What about the events behind the events - the dramatic increase in activity of the True Eye, and the chaotic correspondence between the town hall and the garrison...... Some of the situations are really a bit out of the ordinary. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Our cooperation will continue, but I would like you to give you a simple and clear account of the information you already have - and if you can, it would be better to tell me all the 'possible involvement' matters." ”

This is not an unreasonable request.

"Again, intelligence is the basis of action. François nodded, but shook his head suddenly, "But that being said...... So where is the best place to start? If we talk about the beginning, it may start with the last great war. ”

As if giving up something, François's expression suddenly became relaxed. (To be continued......)
