Chapter 210: In Progress (Part I)
In the crowded city of Gotak, Jerry Terry is wandering aimlessly around the city in his brand-new Royal Reserve uniform.
It had been some time since he had moved the capital to Gotak with the royal family, and during this time the defeated government of Kevin Las was a mess both inside and outside. Fortunately, the Byzantine and Western Alliances did not take advantage of the victory, so that the people of Kevin Las were able to stay away from the war for a while. Although there was no war, the chaotic government made it impossible for the training of the Royal Military Academy to continue as usual, but Jerry, as a reserve army, did not belong to the official establishment, so he was far away from home and had nothing to do all day long.
Gotak is a small border town southwest of Kevin Las, and due to the relocation of the royal capital, a large influx of foreign populations has disrupted the ecological balance of this small city.
The streets and alleys are crowded with war refugees, rubbish and stained, and ragged beggars crouch on the corners, stretching out their black palms and begging for their daily food from passers-by.
Jerry saw it, his heart was sour, and he took out a few coins from his pocket and gave them to a beggar who looked older, but he didn't know that the beggar looked at it and threw the coin back to Jerry.
"Damn! If you want food, don't you want less money? Don't pull it down, you deserve to starve to death!" Jerry suddenly felt a nameless fire in his heart.
"Young man, you should be eating imperial food when you are dressed like this, right? No wonder you are ignorant. The old beggar said weakly.
"Ignorance?"
"In these days, money is no longer money, and you can't buy anything......" As the poor old man's voice fell, a voice of complaint and sighing sounded around him.
"How so?" Jerry looked at in disbelief.
"Get out of the way!" Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a lavishly decorated carriage was seen galloping through the narrow and crowded streets.
The surrounding refugees got up and dodged.
"What kind of privileged carriage is this, and he's not afraid of hitting people when he's running so fast on such a crowded road?" Jerry muttered softly.
"Ahh Did she want to kill herself? No, it was because her young child somehow ran into the middle of the road to play......
"Isn't the ugly girl going to get out of the way, my young master has urgent official business!" the coachman obviously saw the mother and daughter in the middle of the road, but he didn't mean to slow down in the slightest.
Today, Jerry's mood was not very good, and he was added a little fuel by the incident in front of him, and he suddenly became angry.
Earth Splitting, Rock Barrier! He showed no mercy, and instantly unleashed two magics.
Suddenly, a ravine appeared in front of him, and the carriage did not have time to stop, and the front sank suddenly, and the carriage turned on its back. Immediately afterwards, a stone wall was erected in front of the mother and son, and the luxurious carriage smashed heavily on the rock wall and was severely deformed.
"Is it all right?" asked Jerry, ignoring the evil magnate as he approached the shivering woman.
"......" The young woman trembled with fright and was speechless.
Maybe it's too much of a fright?" Jerry thought to himself. He was about to step forward to help.
"No, sir, I can ...... myself," the woman shook her head violently and backed.
"Oh, well, be careful, don't let the baby run around again......" Jerry smiled awkwardly and thought, "My lord, I'm still very young!"
"Yes, yes......" The woman nodded and turned to sped away, disappearing into the crowd of onlookers.
Afterwards, Jerry looked at the overturned carriage and the bleeding coachman with disdain, and did not mean to come forward to help.
"What the hell is going on?" he muttered as he walked to the side of the road.
"Young man, your clothes are too similar. Suddenly, he heard someone talking to him.
Jerry turned his head to see that it was the old beggar who had refused his alms.
"Are you talking about me?"
"Who else is it not you?"
"What's wrong with my clothes?"
"You'll understand in a minute. ”
In the distance, the sound of galloping horses' hooves and compact leather boots could be heard again. "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" can be heard anywhere.
"Quick! Don't let those untouchables go away, all surround them!" a red-faced middle-aged man rode a tall horse, brandished a horsewhip, and commanded his men to surround the scene of the accident.
"It's the Royal Guard, and that person should be Captain Dimou. Jerry muttered.
"Ahhh
Uniforms?Jerry noticed that the Royal Reserve uniform on his body was not much different from the Royal Guard's uniform. He muttered to himself: Why should those residents be afraid of the Royal Guard?
Di Mu slowly turned over and dismounted, and then angrily scolded his two subordinates: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you go and check the carriage to see if anyone is hurt? If there is something wrong with Young Master Raphael, Lao Tzu will kill you two!"
"Yes!"
"Hmph!" Di Mu snorted dissatisfiedly, and then walked slowly towards the carriage. Suddenly, as if sensing something, he trotted forward and said, "Oh, slow down, light! Your Excellency is all right!" and a flattering smile appeared on his ruddy face, and he stooped down to help the coachman.
Although the damage to the body was very serious, the coachman was fine, only suffered a little skin trauma, and he quickly recovered and said: "Captain Di Mou, you are really fast! By the way, what happened to the young master? We have just been attacked by unknown magic, and someone is going to assassinate the young master!"
"It's all right! I've ordered my men to block off the surrounding streets, and the Assassin won't be able to escape!Ahhhh
"Damn! it's stuck, get the tools!"
"Yes!"
"No, who do you think I am?" A cold voice floated from the sky, and I saw a richly dressed young man, standing in the air. He tucked his left hand in his trouser pocket and held a hardcover book in his right hand and looked at it nonchalantly. The curly brown hair and the indifferent dove-gray pupils were so familiar.
"Abbott Raphael!" Jerry recognized the boy.
"Aha, Young Master Raphael is worthy of being a young and handsome man, and he doesn't need me to wait for someone to help......" Di Mou nodded and smiled, in fact, he had scolded the arrogant Raphael countless times in his heart.
The coachman held a red-stained bandage over the wound on his forehead and said, "The assassin must be caught......"
Di Mu nodded again and again and said, "Yes! Yes! It will definitely be done!"
"No, I know who it is. Raphael slowly descended from the sky, closed the book and said, "It's him!" and he raised his hand to Jerry standing in the crowd.
"That kid is an assassin?"
"What?" the crowd erupted into a commotion, and the surrounding refugees moved away from Jerry as the Royal Guard stepped forward and grabbed Jerry's arm.
"How dare the Royal Reserve Army murder the Raphael family?" said Di Mou with a look of incredulity.
"Yo, long time no see, Abbott Raphael. Undeterred, Jerry raised his chin to greet Raphael.
"Who are you? How dare you call me by my name. Raphael had a hint of anger on his face.
Oh, I forgot that you didn't come to a few classes in a semester, and you don't remember me. ”
"How dare a mere reserve speak to Young Master Raphael like this!" Di Mu angrily came to Jeri and slapped him. I could only hear a loud "pop", "Oops!" Di Mu shook his hands and jumped on his feet, wailing again and again.
I saw a faint blue light flashing on both sides of Jerry's cheeks.
"Can't be wrong! Ice Armor, he's a magician! He's the culprit of the attack just now!" Di Mu said angrily.
"I don't need you to say it, I know it. Tell me what to do and what to attack me?" asked Jerry.
"Not to attack you, but to save people. ”
"Who is the rescuer, what is the name, and where is the person?"
"They're gone. ”
"Leave, I don't think it exists at all, right? It is a capital offense for a commoner to attack a nobleman, and he is locked up and awaiting the judgment of Count Raphael!" Di Mou roared viciously.
The crowd of onlookers shook their heads and sighed. Jerry struggled unwillingly, "Attack, why do I want to attack Raphael, and what evidence do I have to prove that I am attacking the nobles?"
"You know how to do magic is ironclad, otherwise how would ordinary people dare to attack Viscount Raphael?" said Di Mou, "Take it!"
"According to you, Master Constantine, he's the number one suspect?" said Jerry, smiling.
"Bold! You still dare to insult the chief archmage of the empire?
"I can testify!" Suddenly, out of the crowd came a mother holding her child, she was the mother and son who had been rescued by Jerry earlier.
"Where are the untouchables, drive them away!" Di Mou impatiently instructed his men to drive them away. The two soldiers stepped forward violently and shoved, the young mother stood unsteadily and fell to the ground, the crowd of onlookers looked at the two of them indifferently, and no one dared to step forward to help them.
"Stop!" Jerry yelled, breaking free from his flanks, and a rocket sped to the mother and son, blazing fire in his hands, forcing the two soldiers back.
"You...... Do you still dare to resist law enforcement?" Di Mu's red face suddenly turned purple with anger and turned into the color of pig liver.
"When did the Royal Guard become bullies who bullied the common people, didn't you defend your country against foreign enemies?" Jerry yelled at Dimou.
"That's a good thing, that's right!" said Raphael, clapping his hands lazily, "yes, yes! Kevin Lass needs a man as loyal as you." ”
"......" Jerry stared at Raphael vigilantly, thinking: What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd?
"But it's wrong for you to attack me, do you know the truth? I've seen many people like you, who say noble things in their mouths but do things behind their backs. ”
"I reiterate once again that I didn't attack you, and I didn't have a motive to attack my classmates. I'm here to save people!" Jerry roared angrily, and the flames in his hands skyrocketed by three points.
"I'm sorry, Lord Viscount, it's all my fault......" The young mother skirted Jerry and knelt down before Raphael.
Raphael didn't bother to pay attention to the mother and son, and said directly to Jerry, "Your magic is very powerful, but beware that fire can hurt people...... After saying that, a sneer appeared on his face.
"Viscount Raphael, that ...... Ahh
"What did you do?" Jerry looked at him, and he knew that it was not his own flame, but that it must have been Raphael's fault. He wanted to use a counterspell to save the mother and son but couldn't, someone controlled his mental power, and he couldn't use any simple magic at the moment.
"Well, not only did he attack Viscount Raphael, but he also burned innocent civilians with magic!
"Brute!" Jerry roared with exhaustion, fist clenched and lunged at Raphael. But soon his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness. A Royal Guard soldier stood behind Renon and pretended to blow on the hilt of his sword.
"What else are you talking about saving people? Where are you saving people? I think you are deliberately killing people!" Raphael's indifferent pair of dove gray pupils stared at Jerry who was in a coma, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The air in the Dragon Canyon was still so hot and dry, Ruinon sat on the ground, stretched out his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his face and shook it, only to hear a "pop" sound, and the black soil was wet with a large chunk.
"Master, rest!" Sylph came to see the pottion. ”
"Silph, who has nothing to do, will be well. ”
"You haven't had a good night's rest in two nights, does it matter?" asked Nightmares, looking at a tired Renon with a worried face.
"When did you become so considerate?"
"Uncle Ben has always been gentle and considerate, and he is a ...... who is 'understanding of people's clothes'," Nightmare said confidently, raising his head and holding his chest high. (Reader A appears again: the idiom of empathy is really wonderful!
"Hah...... You should keep this kind of cool talk and say it slowly later. Ruinon staggered up from the ground and said, "Those two pots of medicine are almost ready." Nightmare, come, do me a favor!" he came to the two cauldrons with his tired eyes, one foot deep and one foot shallow, extinguished the fire, and then picked one up with the crucible pliers, and poured the "gurgling" decoction through the strainer into the thick-bottomed glass bottle.
"Gulliver's universal antidote can cure most of the poisoning symptoms in the world, and I think it should also be able to remove the iron hook snake venom in Paul's brother's body. As he spoke, Ronon handed the hot potion to Nightmare and said, "I'll leave it to you, let it cool down as soon as possible, and then pour it into Paul's brother's mouth." (Gulliver's Universal Antidote: A universal antidote invented by the famous alchemist Jonathan Gulliver.) The recipe is: the bark of the pine, the sap of the jade bamboo, a small amount of chalk, a small amount of black ether stone, the bulb of the witch konjac, and the nine spice insects. The agent is a colorless transparent liquid with a faint aromatic flavor, which can be taken directly orally, can neutralize 32 toxic substances and treat 54 poisoning symptoms. The medical effects vary depending on the poison. )
(Jonathan Gulliver: A native of the Mecampos Empire, 52 BC – 36 AD, a famous alchemist of ancient times.) Gulliver traveled all over the world throughout his life, crossing the Andy Mountains dozens of times to travel between the east and west of Middle-earth, combining the herbalism of the eastern Andes with the alchemy of the western Andes, opening up a new direction and opening up a new world for the development of alchemy. )
"Can you cool it down however you want?"
"Hmm!" said Ruinon, who began to stir up the slag on the strainer again, "and this, the slag left over from refining. Silver, come and do me a favor, collect the dregs, wrap them in bandages, and apply them to Paul's brother's wounds, which still have a slight antidote effect. ”
"Okay!" said Silver, carefully taking the residue and stepping aside.
"Next up is the advanced life ointment for that elven archer. Come and help me, Gonzas!" said Rainon, beckoning to Gunzas. (Advanced life ointment: a widely used trauma medicine, easy to make, and relatively inexpensive raw materials.) It has good hemostatic muscle and analgesic effects. Recipe: Roots of Bamboo Radix, a small amount of chalk soil, dorsal thorns of hog badger bears, vines of wisteria flowers, and bark of ebony camphor. )
"You're pretty funny!" said Gonzas, with a hot breath coming out of his nostrils, "How?" Apparently it hadn't fully recovered. Being able to gather so many medicinal materials in two hours, it is obvious that it and Nightmare have greatly overdrawn their physical strength and mental power.
"Boil the pot into a sticky paste. ”
"What's the matter, can't you even condense a little fire element?"
Renon smiled wryly and said, "I still have this bit of telekinesis, but I can't accurately control the elements. You know the way, alchemy is a delicate work, and there is no room for half a point difference, once the fire is a little bit worse, the effect of refining can be 108,000 miles. ”
"Do you think I'll do it?"
"You can't do it either?, Black Dragon Tyrant Gonzas?" Rainon added his title in front of Gonzas' name.
"Hmph, how can this little thing be hard for me? I mean I've never studied human alchemy, how can I control ......?"
"It doesn't matter, I have a way. Ruinon said confidently, "Do you see that little pot? ”
Gonzas stared at the small pot of water for a long time, and blew. I only heard a "whew", the water dried up, and the pot was burned red.
"You...... You...... Maybe you didn't mean to. Ruinon shook his head helplessly, took out a crucible from the space ring again, poured water on it, and said, "Tap, tap ......"
"How low is that?"
"Do you know the ...... of the water? Hey, forget it, you can go as low as you can!" said Ruinon angrily. He originally wanted to say, "Do you know the boiling point of water?" Just 100 degrees is enough! But in the end he didn't say it, and the stupid big lizard wouldn't understand it if he heard it. And so, after more than a dozen attempts, Gonzas finally found the right temperature.
"That's right! That's it, keep it ......up," Rui Nong said as he quickly swapped the pot of boiling water with the advanced life ointment.
"How long does this have to burn?"
"Sticky paste, stop when I say stop. "Then rub your hands together and apply it to the wound of the elven archer...... It's a good feeling not to be refining potions for exams and assignments for the first time!"
Nightmare heard Rinong's words and said, "I suddenly have a sense of foreboding in my heart about something. Paul won't be poisoned by your potions, will he?"
"Hey, Nightmare, don't talk nonsense!" Hearing the Nightmare's cool words, a row of black lines suddenly appeared on Ruinon's forehead.
"Next time you give someone to drink the medicine that Rui Nong refined, you have to let Rui Nong himself try the medicine himself!"
"......" Rainer, who was sweating profusely, was silent.
"It's all right, Brother Paul, he's going to recover, Silf trusts his master!"
"Woooooooooo
The sun rose from the mountains in the east, and a ray of dawn streaked across the heavens and the earth, and the dark red morning glow was like dried corpse blood.
"For the first time, I felt that the morning glow was so disgusting. Rainon pouted.
"It can't be helped, because this is the Qunlong Canyon, and there is a lot of volcanic ash floating in the sky. Nightmare looked at the empty glass bottle and said, "Before you know it, it's dawn." Well, the medicine is finished, and the only thing left is to pray to the creator god. ”
