Section 42 Potion of Truth
"To be honest, there is nothing flawed in your rhetoric, but it is precisely because of this that I greatly doubt it. ”
In the small courtyard of the Apothecary Master, Mileni looked at the frail Bonnie with a suspicious expression.
The latter bit his lip: "Have you changed your mind, aren't you going to let me follow you?"
"No, I still appreciate your talent. Mileni shook her head and said, "But I doubt your motives now - standing in the courtyard that day, you were unusually resolute, not in any disguise." And the affection between your master and servant seems to be very deep. ”
"If this qiē is all a disguise, do you think I'm too hypocritical?"
Bonnie was a little nervous in her heart, but on the surface, she sighed secretly, revealing a trace of sadness: "I really can't help it." ”
"Logically, I can understand. After all, it was a blood pact. Mileni nodded and said, "I also checked your brain domain just now, and there are indeed traces of blood deeds. It seems that your good master is indeed using the blood pact to control you. ”
"He ruined my qiē. Bonnie gritted her teeth and said, "I can only bear it silently, and pretend to meet it." If I show the slightest dissatisfaction, I risk my life - I'm not the kind of impulsive idiot, I want to hurt him more. ”
"So what you said that day was false, just to deceive his trust?" the apothecary master's attitude was a little **, noncommittal to Bonnie's statement.
Bonnie smiled a hint of relief, "Of course, it's very effective. My words seemed to move him, the guy's rare discovery of conscience. He took the initiative to break the blood contract for me, and swore that I would train me to be a super apothecary - he believed that I could always maintain the sincerity shown to him, but unfortunately he miscalculated. I escaped. ”
"If this qiē is true, I am very sympathetic to your plight. A hint of murderous intent flashed in Mileni's eyes: "I can kill him for you." ”
"Really?" said Bonnie, "but I don't know where he is now, since I escaped from the lizardman's chamber, I have lost track of him, and I have not dared to meet him head-on, so I have come to you directly." ”
Mileni snorted softly: "I want to find someone, it's still very simple. ”
Bonnie's heart immediately lifted.
Fortunately, the next sentence of the medicine master suddenly made her relax a little: "But I came to Hehu Town this time, and there are other very important things to complete." You can't delay the organization's heavy event because of this kid. So before this big thing is done. I'm not going to trouble him. ”
Bonnie's heart was relieved, but she was a little disappointed on the surface, and then gritted her teeth and said, "I still hope that I will take revenge." If you can impart enough skills to me, I can do that. ”
"That's fine. Mileni smiled and said, "I really appreciate your talent. So you qualify to be my follower. ”
"But before that. We've got to play a little game. ”
"What game?"
Bonnie said blankly.
"Polygraph rituals. Mileni said coldly, "I want to be my follower or even a disciple." You have to go through my polygraph ritual!"
"Do you have the confidence to face it?"
......
The cramped alleys are littered with garbage.
The Rat-Man stood vigilantly in the corner, observing the apparently not weak comer.
The other party was wearing a wizard's cloak that was one size larger, and he looked like a holt wizard. There was a faint aura of magic elements lingering around his body - which meant that he carried a lot of good demonic items with him. In some ways. This means a good thing - because this guy is rich enough to make a fortune if he succeeds in robbing him, and from another point of view, this guy is definitely dangerous.
The rats watched with trepidation as they slowly walked deeper into the alley.
There was a young guy who was about to make a move, but was stopped by an elderly nezumi.
"What are you doing?" the young nezumi looked back angrily.
The gray-bearded nezumi shook his head tremblingly, pointing at the other party's distant back: "Lightning, lightning demon!"
"Lightning Demon!?"
As soon as they heard the name, all the nezumi turned earthy.
The young nezumi who had just been about to make a move trembled with fright, and in a few moments, the improvised group of robbers dispersed.
Feeling the qiē happening behind him, Lance in the cloak couldn't help but smile.
"That rat-man has a low strength, but his perception is not bad, and he can see my face clearly. He slowly dispersed the spell he had prepared and walked briskly into the depths of the alley.
By this time the cloak was already stained with a few wisps of blood - not Lance's own, of course, but by some daring man. After all, not everyone has such an eye as a rat man, and they can recognize this guy hidden under the cloak as the [Lightning Demon] who has been in the limelight in River Lake Town recently!
When the results of the battle between the Lizardmen and the Holts were announced, it not only marked the official rise of the Lizardmen, the fourth largest force in River-Lake Town, but also represented Van Dane's stay in the Black Tower, and at the same time spread a name that was originally unfamiliar to people like a plague.
Lightning Demon Lance.
Legend has it that on the night of the bloody battle, he alone killed nearly half of the Holt army. His lightning sorcery is not disturbed by the special terrain of River and Lake Town, and can exert very terrifying power.
Most people believe in this legend, and a few scoff at it - in their opinion, legends are legends, and these rumors have no credibility at all?
One person could kill more than half of the Holt army?
But in fact, I really think that the Holts that Lance destroyed that night were more than half of the latter's deaths!
Regardless, the name of the Lightning Demon soon spread to every corner of River-Lake Town.
In this chaotic place, where the law of the jungle is vividly embodied, people worship the strong. Lance's face also began to be known to everyone.
With the exception of a few turtles that don't have long eyes, most people can recognize Lance lightly, and at the same time avoid them from afar.
Especially the Holts, who are "of the same race", even saw Lance, and they avoided as if they had seen the plague, and did not dare to approach.
At the same time, in addition to the lizardmen, there were many other forces that tried to contact Lance, but they were all rejected by the latter.
The reason why he passed through Hehu Town was to get a ticket to the Great Fissure, and now he has obtained it.
And now I am staying in River and Lake Town because of another thing.
He hadn't decided whether to embark on this adventure yet, but before that, he decided to gather as much information as he could.
......
Deep in the alley, there is a hut with a stinking ditch in front of it.
The door was locked, and the lock was rusty.
Lance was not very civilized, but kicked open the door of the hut.
Walking into the house, although there was no dust, it was a musty smell that suddenly irritated Lance's nose and made him feel heartfelt.
It's a very basic house. The room was filled with a large number of shoddy books, as well as some strange potions.
In Lance's opinion, the only decent piece of furniture in the room was the wooden bed, but unfortunately there was a pile of books on the bed at this time, and the mattress underneath was not visible.
He closed his eyes and felt the qiē slightly.
This was the young man he had heard from Van Dane, the hut of Sauter. Sauter's body had been dumped in the Bain River a few days earlier, and the hut had been left unattended.
The spiritual power slowly swept through every corner of the hut, and no abnormalities were found.
"Humph......"
Lance smiled coldly, and suddenly turned on the black bat and the eagle eye.
Under the rotation of the two sub-chips, he finally found a clue.
Dumped on the bookshelf on the bed, half a hairy hair tied to it. On the inside of the stack, there seems to be half a similar hair.
"What a cunning little fox. ”
With this discovery, Lance was able to make up a picture of someone carefully hiding in the exit of the tunnel, closing the lid, and gently tugging at the shelves, scattering the books in a mess to obscure someone's attention.
It must be said that her method is quite clever, and when she sees so many shabby and stale books - there are even moths crawling on them, Lance does not even have the desire to clean it up.
It's a pity that in the face of his reconnaissance, there are still traces of clues.
The next qiē is very simple.
Lance shoved away the pile of books, fumbled around the cold wooden bed for a while, and sure enough, he found a bracket.
Smack. The lid opened instantly, revealing a dark tunnel.
Lance checked and made sure there were no traps. Only then did he cautiously enter the tunnel.
......
"Are you really ready?" said Mileni, looking at the little girl in front of her with some amusement.
Bonnie nodded vigorously.
"Don't have to go to the bathroom again?" the Apothecary Master sneered. Just when he proposed to use polygraph, the latter suddenly said that he had some stomach discomfort and went to the bathroom.
In her opinion, this was nothing more than a clumsy trick.
"No matter what she does in the bathroom, as long as she dares to take a lie test, everything in her heart will be understood by me. Mileni smiled confidently, thinking to herself.
"I'm just a little nervous. Bonnie explained in a low voice, "But it's much better now, and I have nothing to hide." ”
"I hope so. ”
Mileni said as she tossed a pale blue potion to Bonnie.
"This is the [Truth Elixir], take it, and as soon as you try to lie, your tongue will become knotted. ”
Bonnie took the potion, hesitated for a moment, but still poured it decisively.
Ten minutes later, Mileni suddenly shouted loudly:
"What the hell is the conspiracy of that guy named Lance who sent you here?!" (To be continued......)
