"It's really Garingen......" The owner of the alchemy material shop who was rescued by Lin from the death line was still apprehensive at the moment. Fortunately, this time I met two little girls who knew the goods, and they didn't let people take this highly poisonous thing back as an ordinary alchemy material...... Otherwise, the consequences will be truly unimaginable. "You have to believe me, I really don't know where this thing came from!" "The raw materials of many highly toxic poisons are dangerous goods, and basically do not appear in the normal market, such as the alchemy material store opened by this store manager, which is not qualified to sell those dangerous materials at all-as for the rare poison that does not appear in the legal provisions of the Garingen, is it considered a prohibited dangerous goods...... Isn't that obvious? If he is exposed, the poor shopkeeper may be imprisoned. "I'm just a little maid passing by, not a big lady. I don't know how many people will believe this kind of thing, but Xiwei definitely doesn't believe it anyway. "But my master is a veritable lady - as long as she nods, even if you are really hiding Kalingen, the 'truth' will turn out to be that you are innocent...... "Don't say it as if I do this kind of thing a lot!" Although Xiwei also knew that what Lin said was right, with her current status, she could completely get through a lot of connections to protect the shopkeeper, but why did the words come out of Lin's mouth, there was always an inexplicable sense of unhappiness? "You really don't know how this thing ended up in your store?" "Really! true!" "Even if it's worth a fortune?" "I'm a businessman, so I still have some self-knowledge." If I really carry this thing and sell it for a price, it will disappear with my head in this shop in less than three days! People who want this thing don't want anyone to know that they bought it!" This has to be a person who is optimistic about human nature. Would you think that someone had bought Garingen just for the sake of collecting? The result is just as the shopkeeper feared. Anyone who has a need for Garingen will not buy from him through this transaction. Wouldn't it be much easier to directly take and rob and kill people and sell goods?" "Xiao Lin, what do you think?" "I think he is telling the truth...... But to be on the safe side, let's take him away first. "What I said is true! I'm innocent!" When he heard that he might be taken away to "drink tea," the shopkeeper panicked, "Ah...... Do you want bail? I know, I know! How many casual ...... you have to say" "You know a ball!" Facing the man who wanted to crawl over and kneel on his feet, Lin stepped on his head in disgust: "It turns out that your brain is just a little bit easier, right? Who cares about your broken money." I just said I was going to take you away, I didn't say I was going to hand you over to the law enforcers. "Well, that's why ......" "If I don't take you, you won't have a chance to see the sun tomorrow morning." Do you really think that something like Garingen would fall from the sky and mix with your goods for no apparent reason? You have a store for alchemists, and the materials here are purchased from a specific source, not wild goods picked anywhere in the field—you think it's in a manor that grows erect roots. Will there be such a thing as Garingen?" the shopkeeper hadn't reacted yet, but Shevi understood what Lynn meant. "If there's no problem there...... Ah, that is. This Garingen, was it that someone deliberately stayed in the Ortho Root later?" But if it was to take revenge on this shop, wouldn't it be a little too high to take Garingen as a cost?" Who wanted to do this to me...... I haven't offended anyone......" "That's not what you should be concerned about. Lin put down the shopkeeper at once, didn't give him any chance to speak, and knocked him unconscious on the spot. "Little Lin, what are you going to do?" Sylvie saw Lin lean over. Placing her palm down in front of the shopkeeper's forehead, a faint "mist" escaping from her palm. shrouded in the other party's face. "This guy is a philistine businessman, and there are too many worries and guards for some reason. If you are afraid to communicate with him directly, it will be too troublesome to get information. I hate verbal communication with such guys, so I chose the convenient and quick way...... Well, it's just to read his own memory. "Read the memory directly!? isn't that ...... No...... Should it be counted in the dark arts?" "Eh, Miss Seawee, you're the adopted daughter of a dark magician, aren't you? Do you reject the dark arts so much? Usually your father-daughter relationship is not very bad, right?" "What you have learned is contradicted by your adopted daughter who is not related by blood, as long as you are a normal person, you will be unhappy because of it...... But then again, why would a dark magician adopt an adopted daughter who is not interested in dark arts? Is it really for a special purpose for Xiwei?"No! My father and I have a good relationship!" Seeing that Lin actually questioned the relationship between himself and his adoptive father, Xiwei suddenly looked very unhappy, "When I wanted to learn black magic with him when I was a child, I was still trained by him-he said that I am a girl, and I should not learn that kind of gloomy thing. "I always feel like a certain summer is lying down...... "and...... Every time I see someone using dark magic, I also feel a little uncomfortable...... Probably, I really don't have anything to do with dark magic, right?" Just like Fang Cai, when Lin used dark magic to neutralize Garingen's poison, Sive, who was watching from the sidelines, faintly felt as if something was trying to break through the ground in her heart - she instinctively sensed that it was not a good thing. And now, when watching Lin use brutal methods to directly search the man's memory, Xiwei also felt some inexplicable discomfort. Maybe it's because the intensity of the black magic this time is not as strong as before, but Xiwei can still withstand it. "This man is really not lying......" After some searching, Lin also got the answer she wanted, "but this guy's head." There were so many miscellaneous things, and it was no wonder that he was so nervous before-although there were no big mistakes, but small mistakes were really one after another. Added up, it was enough for him to eat a lawsuit. Lynn thought for a moment. Or to the poor creature on the ground whose hands and feet were twitching and foaming at the mouth, he lost a spiritual healing. "Since this person is not hiding anything, then where did this piece of Garingen come from?" "I probably have some eyebrows...... But now our task is not to find out who is behind it, and leave those matters to the 'professionals', and our first consideration now is the one who is still in the mansion. Lin looked around—since there was no one around, she took some more herbs with her. I'm sure the store manager wouldn't mind?...... "What!?In the alchemy shop in the city, I found Garingen mixed in the upright roots!?" When the news reached Skassa's ears, his first reaction was that it was an international joke made over there - this kind of plot that looks like you can buy the eggs of a mythical beast at a random stall on the side of the road, what the hell is it? "That helps...... I thought you guys had forgotten about the business one by one, but I didn't expect there to be reliable people~" "......" A certain Lori must not say it, and I actually found this problem when I was wandering around with my interest...... But then again, it seems like everyone has the same virtue as themselves. "Garingen?how could such a thing be mixed up in the Orthostatic Root?" Although Sheena doesn't usually take on the deal of killing, she has a small vial of top-grade poison to spare, for an assassin. It's also something I've always dreamed of. However, it is a pity that the entry channel of this contraband itself is more troublesome than most goods, with Sheena's ability. It's just that you can only get some "high-end goods" in the usual sense...... It's the kind of poison that can be obtained as long as you have money. The problem is that really powerful poisons are not just something that can be done with money. If she could, Sheena also wanted a vial of life-destroying poison purified by Garingen...... Anyway, Sheena, you pay attention to the corners of your mouth, your image is going to be ruined...... "I have a very interesting piece of information here, I was backlogged here two days ago, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now it seems. It seems to be very delicate. Skasa pulled out a copy of the paper from the cabinet and handed it to Sheena. "There's a small outbreak?" Hina glanced at Wen Jiàn's contents, rather strangely. "Is there any connection to this? Just a disease...... Huh?" "What's wrong, Sheena?" Lilou saw Sheena's face suddenly stiffen. I also understand that there must be a very direct causal connection in this. "Officials have given a prescription that is said to be used to prevent diseases, and one of the materials is erect root. Lilu was also speechless - before, Skassar had already briefed her on the current situation in the imperial capital, such an official document, and an unknown epidemic that happened to emerge on the stall, made Lilu feel that there was a great conspiracy lurking in it. "If I'm not mistaken...... After Garingen is taken, the corpse of the person who died from the poison will also become a source of poison with the same toxicity. Once a few people accidentally ingest the Garingen poison and die, if it is not dealt with in time, the poison of Garingen can also become an effect similar to the plague...... "The toxicity of Garingen is very peculiar, it itself is in an inert state similar to "dormant" most of the time, basically if it does not enter the circulatory system of living organisms, it will not work just by touching. However, when it triggers the critical condition of "death", the organism it poisons will carry with it an activated Garingen toxin on its body, which can kill a person if touched. It's a ripple effect...... It's more like some kind of vicious curse than poison. If the secondary pollution of Garingen is not properly controlled and the water source is eroded, it is likely to lead to the death of people in a city. "Is that just a trick?" said Skasa, a "plague" that had looked like that before. Although it is weird enough, it is easy for people with a heart to find that there are traces of black magic in it, and they are quickly accused. No matter how you look at it, it's not enough deterrence, it's like playing at home. Before. Skasa also thought that those patients who were recruited would not trigger any follow-up articles. According to the information now available...... "on the one hand, it is necessary to divert the attention and direction of the well-intentioned people, and at the same time to use the first sick dead to cause panic among the people around who are not yet sick, so that when the official side announces a 'probable' preventive medicine, every household goes back to buy the medicinal herbs on it—but is there any point in doing so? Even if it is successful, it poisons most of the people in the city." Is that what the actual purpose is?" In Lilou's eyes, this is the rhythm of an evil sacrifice. Considering Lilou's identity, Skarsa didn't have any concerns, and told the two girls in front of him the secret buried under the imperial capital city very bluntly. "Is there such a thing?" Lilou, who has little contact with humans, found that there were not many people with great courage in the original human society...... But why do you have to seal such a troublesome fellow away? Sure enough, it's because there are too many scum dragging behind...... "Now it's time to motivate those unreliable guys." Skasa connected to the communication magicians of all the Lori mages who went out, and used a unified public channel to post a message that made many Lori mages almost crazy. Someone is already in a remote alchemy material shop. A piece of Garingen was found! Yes, you heard it right, it is a Garingen that most people have only seen pictures and texts in their lives, but have never seen the actual thing! Now in all corners of the city, in those alchemy shops and herb shops, it is likely that there are other undiscovered Garingens!It is better to act! Hurry up and mobilize your eyes to dig up these Garingens hidden in the upright roots!If there is a harvest, there is no need to hand it in, it is all owned by the discoverer himself!] As soon as the news was issued, all the loli suddenly became high. "Damn, really?" "Erect roots mixed with Garingen...... What does this IQ have to be to be indebted to do such a stupid thing...... "Stupid! Listening to the boss's words, it's obvious that someone is behind this, isn't it? But this time...... I like it!" "Yes, it doesn't matter what big moves are behind it, we're good anyway!" "Is anyone willing to team up with me to find it?" "Find a teammate and share the results together......" "Don't even think about it! Garingen is all mine - you don't have a share! King Garingen." I'm decided!" ...... "What...... What about the tension?" It's really "child's play", so a group of wolf-like lolitas swept the past. It is estimated that those who spent a lot of money on the purchase of Garingen have lost money this time. "As a mage, it's hard to be nervous!" "What you said makes a lot of sense, but this is completely different from the actual situation now, okay?" Hina felt that no matter how Skarsa put on a deep appearance now, her impression of this association would probably not be able to change back. "Sister Luna, don't have any news yet?" Lilou was more concerned about this. "Well, there's some news that I can't say for sure—the eyeliner I planted earlier told me that the group of dark mages this morning were all thundering with anger...... I can't get the specifics, but if I think about it, it must be a duck that flew to the beak, right......?" Could it be something else?, for example, that the humans tried to do something bad to Sister Luna during interrogation, and then ate a few rounds of extermination or something...... Didn't it mean that Sister Luna was taken away as Her Majesty the Empress?, it should just be that the magic would be banned......" "......" "......" Hina and Skasa fell silent at the same time. "With the character of those second ancestors, it is estimated that it is really possible to make such a bold act. With Miss Luna's usual expression, I think it's a blessing that the person who did it to her was kicked out of her body when she encountered that kind of thing...... "Damn! It's really possible when you think about it! After all, although Luna usually looks like a female man, the European pie is not very prominent, but in all fairness. Actually, it's also a beauty, a group of wine-colored people who haven't tasted the taste of elves, and it's normal to see that Luna can't hold on!"I'll go! Why does it feel more and more like it's really happening?" Skarsa tugged at his hair in pain, deeply aware of the severity of the problem—a good mage. If the speculation is basically true, the doubts will be replaced by an increasingly strong sense of reality! Although it is difficult to complain about this situation, I am afraid that the situation is really not very optimistic...... "Don't think about it too much! We will go directly to save people now!" Skarsa no longer wants to let this time bomb be by his side, anyway, now that he has a vest, it is not a big deal if there is a conflict! Moreover, as long as all traces of the scene are erased, no evidence against him will be left. "Okay! I'm waiting for you!" Lilou said that Skasa's attitude was very useful. "Without further ado, I'll go get ready, let's go!Wait a minute!" After Skasa left the room, Sheena gently touched Lilou's shoulder, "Let's be honest - did you mean to irritate her so much?" ...... What do you think, Sister Sheena?" Looking at the subtle smile on Lilou's face, Sheena felt that it was better for her not to delve into this topic. ================ "According to my sources, the elf must have been imprisoned in this place - it seems that it has been transformed into a hostile place where dark magic is often tested...... After all. It's easy to get the material, and no one cares about the whereabouts of those death row inmates, does it?" "Well guarded, is something really going on?" Finding this remote "death row", the strength of the defense is really exaggerated -- where is this prison? It is clearly the guard level of a military fortress. "I don't know what defenses are in place now...... What is the ability of the two of you to infiltrate?To be safe, I can't cast spells on you, I do have the skill of being immune to magic detection methods......" "Don't worry, I'm an assassin and I'm a professional in this area. "The trick of infiltrating, Sister Luna taught me too. "Eh, does Miss Luna know the trick of that?" Hina thought it was a little strange - Miss Luna's big grin was not like the stealth skills she taught. Is it reliable?" Sister Luna taught me - kill all the witnesses who saw her face, so you don't have to worry about revealing your identity...... I think so, too. Skasa and Sheena fell silent at the same time. "I'm joking. "-That didn't seem like he was joking, was it?" Can you give me your dagger first?" "What do you need this for?" Although she was a little confused, Sheena followed Lilou's prompts. He handed her the dagger he had with him. After Lilou took it, she gently brushed the blade of the dagger with her fingers, leaving a shallow trail of blood. Soon, the blood attached to the blade gradually disappeared as if it had penetrated into it. On Sheena's dagger, a faint layer of dark green light appeared. "If it's necessary for a while, use this dagger to kill people - after I attach my life energy to it, I reverse its nature, and as long as I am stabbed by this dagger, the life energy of the target will instantly short circuit and reverse the current. In other words, if you cut a small wound, you will die instantly. Sheena almost lost her grip and nearly dropped her dagger to the ground. ――This kid really seems to be blackened! It's inconvenient for him to kill, so he gave this "task" to himself? As an assassin, it doesn't mean that he likes to kill...... "Don't worry, Sheena, you won't be hurt by this dagger." "The problem is that Sheena is worried and scared, and it's not the lethality of this dagger at all...... Lilu-san...... (To be continued)
