Chapter 24: Good Night
When he saw Chancellor Drost's heart tremble, Ivas realized that he had succeeded.
"What do I want?"
Ivas smiled playfully, "If I say it, I don't want anything...... Would you be afraid, Charles? ”
Hearing this, Minister Drost was a little sweaty.
If "Ewass" didn't want anything......
Doesn't that mean he doesn't plan to help himself?
As the Secretary of State for Trade, Drost is all too familiar with this – he is not afraid to ask for it, he is afraid not to ask for it. As long as there is a need, there is a solution. Just as "casual" is the hardest thing to cook, not saying anything is the hardest thing to serve.
After looking at him with a smile for a while, Ivus finally relented: "So let's ...... this"
Drost saw "Eivus's" smile soften, as if he really was just Eivas Moriarty. He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a tingling sensation in the back of his scalp.
"Answer me a few questions first, and then I'll judge if I want to help you."
Ivas said slowly, "If you dare to lie to me...... Scold.
"Do you know? The human soul can be preserved in gemstones. Although with your ugliness and humility, it is not worth wasting a gem on me...... But as long as your soul is filled in, then if I suddenly remember that I was deceived by some fat man one day, it can still awaken you from the gem. Torture you like a living person. ”
He raised his right hand and propped his chin on. chuckling and discussing how to make people into jewelry.
Drost's pupils subconsciously glanced at the real fire.
This is still true.
"-What are you looking at?"
Ivas said slowly, "I just felt that something was wrong...... Why do you keep looking at it? ”
As he spoke, he pulled the lamp to his side.
Drost suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his hands and feet were cold.
As a child, Droist accidentally broke his father's favorite antique vase. He didn't dare admit it, so he had to carefully glue the pieces together. Let them regroup into a vase and place them in their original positions.
- In this case, my father would not find out. Even if I found out, I can't be sure that I did it...... And there are so many children in the house, maybe someone will knock it down again. It won't be my fault anyway.
Charles Jr., who was only seven years old, thought so at the time.
But not long after he finished it, while he was still carefully restoring the position of the vase, his father broke into the study.
Contrary to what little Charles had expected, he recognized at a glance that there was something wrong with the vase. He walked straight towards little Charles and the vase—the moment he picked up the vase, the vase suddenly shattered, little Charles's hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.
- At this moment, Drost felt like he was back in that day.
It was full of fear, as if the sky had fallen.
"Hehe, real fire."
Sure enough, "Ivus" easily saw through it.
The slightly squinted eyes flashed with a merciless cold killing intent and an ant-like contempt. The killing intent was so strong and real, as if he really wanted to kill himself...... Or rather, as if he had already killed himself!
Chancellor Drost panicked. In an instant, he seemed to see his miserable death from the bottom of Aihuas's pupils.
It was as if his whole body had been pierced repeatedly by a thousand cold steel needles—and there was a phantom pain from his limbs that he almost couldn't help but scream.
When Minister Droist subconsciously touched his neck and felt that his heartbeat and body temperature were still there, he relaxed a little. The strange phantom pain finally dissipated.
"Hmph."
Seeing Drost slump in his seat with palpitations, Ivus snorted softly.
But Drost didn't know, in fact, at this moment Ivas had some doubts in his heart - what was wrong with him?
The transcendent of the fourth energy level can't help but be so frightened, right?
Looking at Drost's suddenly widening and empty eyes, and his seizure-like convulsions all over his body, Evas was even a little worried about his heart problems.
I haven't asked anything, don't scare him to death...... That's too cheap for him, too.
OK...... Just as Evas was struggling with the question of whether to save Drost if he had a heart attack, Drost relieved himself.
Ivus didn't dare to put any more pressure on him.
So he snorted coldly and got straight to the point: "It's good, since the real fire is here......"
As he spoke, he turned the candlestick upside down and pointed it at Chancellor Drost.
"Then don't lie, let's talk about it."
Ivas said leisurely: "I say, you answer." Answer in five seconds, don't think. ”
“…… Yes, my lord! I must know it all! ”
Droist even looked at Ivas with some gratitude. Because the moment Ivus spoke, the illusion that his whole body seemed to be pierced by some cold, slippery, sharp hard object completely dissipated.
"Who was the last person you interacted with?"
"It's 'Blood Diamond', a witch. She is my regular point of contact. ”
"How do you contact her?"
"With the 'Ritual of Rusty Blood', I have a vial of her blood."
"Where are you hiding it?"
"The Lloyd's headquarters building is on the third floor from above, in the cabinets in the second storage room."
"Where did that bottle of wine come from?"
"That's really [Sacred Tree One], I bought it from goblins at a great price."
"What about poison?"
"That's the curse [Good Night], given by Miss Blood Diamond."
"Do you know what 'good night' is?"
"The poison personally concocted by the black phase of this generation is only effective for the queen."
"Do you know what His Majesty thinks of you?"
"Which Your Majesty? I don't know. ”
"Valentine VII - have you seen him?"
"No, but we did."
"Have you ever seen a red phase?"
"Nope. I didn't have that chance. ”
"Have you seen Countess Emma, then?"
"No, I've only heard of it."
……
They are quick to ask questions and quick to answer questions, and they are very fluent. It was the most productive conversation Iwass had since he walked through the door.
The real fire that Drost himself put forward has now become a tool for Drost to torture himself.
Soon, Ivas had enough useful information.
The person "Blood Diamond" ...... Ivas knew that she had been in Ben. And the clothes that burst out are quite astringent - that's a tentacle suit!
Must brush how to say, must brush.
…… But if Ivus is not mistaken, she shouldn't be on the side of the Star Antimony King. Because that Ben is the Ben of the Red Phase, she is one of the many "daughters" and "lovers" of the Red Phase.
This suggests that she may have been a spy sent by the Red Phase. Or maybe he defected to Hongxiang later.
"Ritual of Rusty Blood" Ivus will. This is a curse that curses blood to make people sepsis, and it is one of the weakest curses.
"Blood Diamond" must have known that Drost was dead. But the first time Iwass used the Rusty Blood Ritual, he might be able to call her out...... After all, so much time has passed, maybe some of Drost's heirs found out her contact information?
Even if it was very risky, and even knew that it might be a trap, she had to come over.
Because Star Antimony is in a bad situation now, it is impossible to give up the opportunity to break the game. As long as Valentine VII thinks so, it doesn't really matter what she thinks herself.
But Minister Trost didn't quite know "good night" correctly.
The curse poison "good night" is not a curse developed by this generation of black phases...... It is a curse developed by the first generation of Black Phase, who turned into an undead and gained eternal life.
Although both the original red and black phases are still alive, both positions are still being inherited. Each generation of black is the vice principal of the Psychic Tower, and each generation of red is the "child" of the first generation of red phase.
The path of the first generation of black phase was adaptation and dusk, and the curse poison is the skill of adapting to the path. And "good night" has a strong twilight power.
This generation of black face, he has no adaptability to adapt to the path at all, how can he develop a curse?
The strength of "good night" is related to the alcohol concentration. It is actually a curse specially developed for the burial of the dead. "Good night", which is infinitely close to pure alcohol, can get the powerful undead drunk and sleep peacefully...... And this poison is a potion that must be "voluntarily taken" in order for it to take effect.
However, if the alcohol concentration is lowered when taken with the curse, it will become a potion that kills the living person according to the rest of their life. Its effect is equivalent to the necromancy [Death Sleep] of the Dusk Path, which sends the souls of enemies who have been fatally wounded or extremely old directly into the Amber Grove, becoming one of the ambers solidified by the Amber of the Pillar God.
In the game, it is a fifth-level spell that directly kills enemies with less than 1% health. Basically, it's useless.,Except when you fight the boss.,Sometimes you can grab that 1% of the blood...... The rest of the time is used as a plot spell. Designed to deal with enemies with a 1% HP lock mechanic.
The alcohol concentration of Sacred Tree One is about 17 degrees. It can kill up to 17 months of the elderly, as well as those who have a total of 17 months or more of their lifespan extended through life extension spells.
So even if all four of them drank the bottle, only the queen would die because of it.
Ivus reacted...... It's not that Drost has any special poisoning technique that Ivus doesn't understand, but that he really put the poison in the whole bottle of wine.
And he was lucky that he still had enough to live. That's why the poison only works against Queen Sophia......
But if Droste doesn't have much to live to live, he will be sent away with this glass of wine.
"Hehe......"
Ivus smiled wickedly.
His laughter upset Drost.
But before Drost could ask, Ivas took the initiative to open his mouth and reveal the secret of "good night".
Ivus was within the radiant range of the True Fire, so Drost immediately realized that Ivus was telling the truth.
Drost's face suddenly became very ugly.
From such an early time...... Are the Star Antimony people trying to kill me?
- Before he suddenly became enlightened and stepped on the path of twilight, his life was about to end!
