Chapter 5: Transactions (Asking for Votes)
Witch medicine.
At first, Li only thought that "witch potion" was a means for the Holy See and the Potions Society to exclude dissidents.
But in this world where angels and demons are real, the "witch medicine" is brought to the world by the devil. People have all kinds of desires and demands, and there is nothing that can't be solved by drinking a bottle of "witch medicine".
After drinking the "witch medicine", people's desires are satisfied and their demands are realized.
And the devil got the soul of man.
No one knows what the devil did to those souls, but they are indeed gone forever. In this magical continent where true gods exist, this is an incomparably terrifying thing.
So, no matter where they are, those who sell "witch medicine" must die.
Li Aili only has a bottle of [Healing Elixir], and she can't say 'I can drink it to show you, prove that this is not a witch potion'.
She took a deep breath, "Bet?" ”
Li Aili stared directly into the duke's pale blue eyes.
"Your Order has a knight named Edward Martin. Yesterday I met his wife, and she was willing to try my potion. ”
"If [the Healing Elixir] heals Knight Edward Martin and her wife loses her soul, then I am willing to pay with my life."
"But, if my [Healing Elixir] doesn't take anyone's soul, then, Lord Duke, let's make a deal."
"So," Lee said, stepping closer to Arthur Jade, "Bet, Duke?" ”
The Duke looked at Li Elli quietly for a few seconds, and then exclaimed in a deep voice, "Conrad." ”
The gray-haired butler in a black tuxedo walked in and said respectfully, "Master." ”
"Prepare the carriage and go to Martin's Earl's Court."
……
Li Aili got into the duke's carriage, and half of the stone in her heart fell.
But she didn't see Edward Martin's current situation, and she wasn't sure if the intermediate-acting [Healing Potion] would heal his injuries.
Plus sitting in the same carriage with a man with a strong aura.
Although His Excellency the Duke's carriage was already extremely luxurious, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was inlaid with gold and jade.
When Ellie looked down and counted the magic gems set in the carriage to the sixty-first time, the carriage finally stopped at the entrance of the Earl's Court in the upper part of Canterlot.
I thought that when I saw Edward Martin and poured the medicine into it, the matter would be settled.
Who knows, after being led in by the butler of the Earl's Court, he found that Edward Martin's bedside was simply "overcrowded".
There were seven or eight tall knights in full armor and armor.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the knights looked back.
When they saw that the person who came in was the Duchess, their eyes suppressed the burning anger.
Immediately after, Arthur Cold Jade walked in, and the knights slammed the 'brand' on the heart of the armor, "Your Highness." ”
Li Elli gave the Duke a wink.
Balke, who was guarding Edward Martin's bed, asked expectantly, "Your Highness, are the 'people' in the secret prison relieved?" ”
Arthur Emerald glanced at Edward Martin who was lying down.
His condition was terrible, his breathing was so weak that he couldn't detect it without looking closely.
The heroic knights of the past were now covered in bandages, and almost all the burn wounds were festering. The bandage was soaked with pus and blood, and it was hard to believe that such a badly injured person was still alive.
"It's not. But there is a way to save him. Arthur Leng Jade said.
Balk seemed to think of something, and his eyes were fixed on Li Ellie.
Rarely, Balk's face suddenly became gloomy, "With all due respect, Your Highness." ”
"Miss Marquis Lee has bewitched Edward's wife, and if we hadn't arrived in time for today, we don't know what would have happened."
Lee Ellie was still wondering why Edward Martin's condition had suddenly deteriorated, but his wife was indifferent and did not come to her. Hearing this, the case was immediately solved.
The co-authors were detained by this group of knights.
Arthur Cold Emerald didn't speak.
A brown-haired knight behind Balk could not hide his anger, "Your Highness! That's a witch potion! If Edward had woken up and found that Joanna had given her soul to the devil to save her, he would have preferred to die! ”
Li Aili couldn't hold it back, and couldn't help but refuge: "This is not a witch medicine!" ”
Several knights looked at her with cold eyes.
Li Aili could only say: "I have a gambling contract with His Highness, if this is a witch medicine, I will pay for my life!" ”
The knights were more stubborn than she thought, and a few insisted on standing in front of Edward's bed, but a few wavered.
Li Aili saw that the lives of the people on the bed were passing away, and she was anxious, "Duke! If it drags on any longer, the medium-effective [Healing Elixir] may not be able to save people! ”
The atmosphere in the room was tense, and Duke Leng Jade, who had been silent, raised his eyes to look at the anxious Li Ailie, and ordered, "Balk, get out of the way." ”
Balk looked at Duke Cold Jade in disbelief.
Arthur Leng Emerald said word by word: "If she fed Edward Martin a witch potion, I will personally cut off her head." ”
Balk's eyes were red, but the two Grand Knight Captains beside him exchanged glances, one left and one right, and ripped him apart, giving up his place to Li Ellie.
It wasn't until Li Aili took out the [Healing Elixir] that she found that her hands were trembling slightly.
Seeing the alchemical potion as red as blood, Balk instantly repented.
"This is the elixir!"
Even the two silver-ranked Grand Knight Captains couldn't hold down Balk.
He pulled out the knight's sword at his waist with a "poof".
Li felt a chill sweep over her, and Balk's eyes were red, and he held the knight's sword around her neck.
Li Aili subconsciously turned his head to look at Arthur Cold Jade.
I don't know if she was frightened into a delusion.
At that moment, she seemed to see Arthur Cold's emerald icy blue eyes turn into vertical pupils that only snakes and lizards have.
After that, the knight's sword slid lightly, leaving only a faint red mark on her neck.
And Balk himself was inexplicably on his knees, clutching his head in pain.
Arthur Leng Jade walked over step by step, and with a toe pick, the knight's sword that landed on the ground was picked into his hand.
He held the hilt of his sword in both hands and said in a deep voice to Li Aili who was in a daze, "What are you waiting for. ”
Li Ellie couldn't think why this thing was standing behind her with a sword.
She reached out and cracked Edward's jaw open, pouring the potion into it in one go.
"Goo, goo", the red potion was poured into Edward Martin's stomach.
The knights subconsciously held their breath and looked at Edward's situation.
The potion bottle was empty, and Li Aili also held her breath, carefully observing Edward's condition.
Arthur Emerald raised the glowing knight's sword.
Li Aili subconsciously closed her eyes.
There seemed to be a cold wind on her cheeks, and when she realized and opened her eyes, she saw the bandages on Edward Martin's hands being cut off.
The hand, which should have been badly burned, was miraculously healed.
The pink skin like a baby directly made the big knights in the room stare straight.
"This, this is a miracle," muttered a Grand Knight Captain......
"Go and see if his wife's soul has been taken by the devil." Arthur Leng Jade said in a calm tone.
A grand knight captain hurried out.
Li Aili's heartbeat was like a drum that couldn't stop, 'dong dong'.
[You and everyone healed Edward Martin, the Grand Knight Captain of the Cold Emerald Knights, and gained 26 Kindness Reputation.] 】
Steady!
Li Aili breathed a sigh of relief, and her heartbeat slowly calmed down.
Joanna was unharmed, and when she rushed into the bedroom, Edward Martin on the bed sat up in confusion.
Joanna threw herself into her husband's arms like a milk swallow in the forest, crying bitterly.
Funny, she exited the room and got into the carriage back to the Duke's Palace.
There was no way, she was too anxious to see the back garden of the [Alchemy House], her heart was like grass growing, and she couldn't wait to teleport back to Constantinople immediately.
In the carriage, Arthur Cold Emerald, who was sitting across from her, had been watching her.
finally made it to the finish line, and Li Ailie, who couldn't wait to get off the car, almost stepped on the air and fell off the carriage.
Fortunately, a pair of large hands firmly grasped her arms and dragged her back.
Li Aili leaned back and hit the duke's hard and broad chest directly.
Immediately after, she smelled the scent of calendula flowers, and the man's muffled voice sounded in her ears, "Be careful, dear. ”
Ellie Lee: "......"
Seeing that Li Aili was standing firmly, the man let go of his hand without hurrying, "Do you have the honor to invite a beautiful lady to dinner?" ”
The Duke's words shifted, "Let's talk about the deal you talked about earlier. ”
