Chapter 143: "Sword of the Goddess" Sesima
Did Dai Li mistaken, in fact, the church has the follow-up potion recipe for the "assassin" path?
But looking at the smile on her face, there is no distress and remorse for getting the facts wrong......
Could it be that Dai Li knew that I had become an "instigator" and deliberately asked me to submit a special application, so that I could choose between exposing my strength and taking potions of the same sequence?
Drinking the same potion again, will it get out of hand on the spot? Or do you want to do it all over again?
Angel's brain was running rapidly, and his eyes glanced at Klein beside him, but he saw that the other party was also looking at him with a worried face.
Dai Li, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled even more, and seemed to be happy to see Angel anxious and at a loss, until even Dunn noticed that something was wrong and turned his puzzled gaze to Angel:
"What's wrong with you? Crestai said to let you go down for an examination first, and if you don't feel well, you can let Klein go first. ”
"No...... It's okay, I'm ......."
Angel didn't know what to say for a moment.
Is it just pretending to be unwell so that you can't pass the exam?
"She's fine, she should just be too excited, after all, when the examination is over, she will be the 'real instigator'."
Dali's words came with a little slouch and a smile.
Real instigators......
Why the emphasis on "real"?
Angel suddenly realizes that she misunderstands what Daily means.
If she really wants to harm me, there is no need to say anything about "the church has the potion of the 'instigator'" now, as long as I don't know it, through the examination of the "Sword of the Goddess" Crestai, wait for him to lay out the potion recipe and materials, and let me prepare and take it on the spot......
Did Daly mean to imply that Crestai Cessima's knowledge that I was in Sequence 8, and that I should not lie?
And as long as I passed the examination, in the eyes of Dunn and other nightwatchers, I became a "real instigator" after taking potions in the presence of Crestai......
I just don't know if this is Dai Li's own decision, or if she communicated with the "Sword of the Goddess" Crestai Cesima who came to investigate?
After thinking about this, in her eyes, Dai Li's smile that originally looked a little weird and slightly mocking turned into encouragement and blessings.
"Thank you, Ms. Dalie."
Angel smiled again and responded.
"It's good to get it, let's go down quickly, don't make Crestai wait too long."
Dai Li bowed slightly, turned her head, and picked up her coffee.
Klein, who was a little puzzled by the conversation between the two, first frowned, then stretched, and also understood the hidden message between the conversations, the worry on his face faded, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Dunn was the only one left in the dark, his gray eyes full of doubt, his gaze constantly moving back and forth between the several people.
——————
Angel walked slowly through the underground passages of Blackthorn Security.
To the left of the intersection was the alchemy room, but she stopped at the intersection.
Even if she believed Dai Li's judgment, she was still a little hesitant at this time.
He knew that Klein would have come down first to be examined, at least he didn't have to worry about drinking the "Joker" potion......
With heavy steps, Angel finally opened the secret door of the alchemy room.
A space has been cleared in the room, and the long tables and chairs that are usually neatly arranged have been moved to the corner, leaving only two high-backed chairs placed opposite each other in the middle, about a meter apart.
On the chair facing the door was already a man, in his mid-thirties, wearing the black trench coat that almost everyone on night watch had, with his neckline raised high and his chin obscured by the collar of his white shirt under the trench coat.
He had short, golden-brown hair and dark green eyes, which looked as quiet as a lake at night in the dim light of the alchemy room.
"You must be Ms. Angel Granger, please take a seat."
Seeing Angel push the door and walk into the room, he was the first to speak, his voice was a little magnetic, like the voices of those pop singers that Angel had heard in his previous life.
"Yes, Your Excellency Crestai Cessima."
After nodding in reply, Angel sat down in the high-backed chair across from him, his hands folded on his thighs, and a smile on his face, like a graduate interviewing a company.
"Dunn should have told you what I'm here for, so I'll get straight to the point. First of all, I need to test your mastery of potions, and determine if you have been altered by the spirit of the remnants of potions, leaving hidden dangers. ”
"You have three minutes to adjust."
Crestai said, took out a pocket watch from the inner pocket of his trench coat, pressed the lid of the watch, and focused his eyes on the dial.
Angel took a deep breath, closed her eyes, cut off visual distractions, and began to adjust her physical and mental state through meditation.
"Da, da, da."
All she could hear was the second hand of Crestai's pocket watch.
Soon, these sounds were also cut off by meditation.
The three-minute wait was very difficult, and Angel wanted to open her eyes and ask to start the examination directly, but she was afraid that it would leave a bad impression on the other party.
Just sleep for a while......
As soon as the thought appeared, it filled her whole brain uncontrollably, and a strong sleepiness struck, like a soft pillow on her head after a tiring day and a night, and she almost instantly gave up thinking and fell asleep peacefully in this silent environment.
…… No, it's not on the bed in the bedroom, it's in the scene of the inspection!
Angel woke up as if she had been pricked by a pinneedle, and she withdrew from the meditation that seemed to have ceased to continue, and when she opened her eyes, she found that the gas lamps on the walls of the alchemy room had become dim, illuminating only the lampshade itself, and the Crestai in front of her, the high-backed chairs, and even all the tables and chairs that had been placed in the corner had all disappeared into her dark vision.
Has the examination begun? Didn't you say give me three minutes to prepare?
She forced down her pounding heart and sat in her chair in her original position, her eyes constantly searching her surroundings, her ears listening to any sounds coming from them.
Soon, Angel heard Cresteiner's singer-like voice, humming an unknown but beautiful melody that seemed to be constantly circling around the entire alchemy room, making it impossible to tell which direction the sound was coming from.
The melody gradually became high and chaotic, the tempo was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, but it never stepped on the beat, did not match the tone, and there were all kinds of sharp noises like musical instruments and different objects rubbing around.
The various "instruments" were getting closer and louder with the out-of-tune humming, giving Angel an urge to grab Crestai by the neck and force him to align with the pitch and the beat.
This is the test...... This is the test......
Angel resisted the urge to shoot with a gun and stab with a dagger, tensed his back, stiffened his limbs, and sat upright in a high-backed chair.
Gradually, the noise decreased, disappeared, and Crestai's humming voice returned to its fixed beat and tone, becoming elegant and beautiful.
The last beat rests on a tail note an octave higher.
"Very well, you have withstood the test and have not shown a tendency to get out of control, which shows that your mastery of potions is perfect, and there are no hidden dangers."
Crestai and his high-backed chair reappeared in the alchemy chamber, along with vanishing lights, stacked tables and chairs, and his magnetic voice.
Hearing the voice again, Angel felt the urge to beat him up.
It's a pity that this is the "Sword of the Goddess", this is the senior deacon of sequence 5, she doesn't dare.
"Thank you, Sir Secima."
She replied with a smile on her face.
Hey, how could Sister Dai Li hurt you?
