Chapter 372: The Benefits of Seniority

"Ed, you've 'demonized' the insect venom! As far as I know, it's not as scary as you think!" Armstrong couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Zijun's shocked expression when he mentioned the insect venom.

"Strictly speaking, insect venom is a branch of mixed poison! A long time ago, someone accidentally discovered in the process of making mixed poison that some strange creatures occasionally appeared in the container that had been boiling mixed poison for a long time!"

But that's not a reason to say it's weird, it's weird because they're a kind of creature that grows in reverse. In other words, as other creatures grow bigger and bigger, they grow smaller and smaller, and as they get smaller, their destructive power grows greater, and the containers that hold them, no matter what they are made of, will eventually not escape the fate of ruin!"

"Their destructive power has gradually attracted the interest of some of the poison makers, who have begun to try to control and use these creatures. ”

"After countless failures, they have finally discovered that this creature has an unusual interest in human blood, and as long as there is an adequate supply of human blood, they will suspend their sabotage operations!"

"Not only that, but over time, they develop a very delicate relationship with the providers of human blood, and over time, some of the providers of human blood can control them!

"Your knowledge of insect venom is not as shallow as you say!" Li Zijun looked at Armstrong with some surprise.

"This is 'leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade'! The Sect of Light has a history of tens of thousands of years in the Youlan Continent, so we naturally have some understanding of all kinds of strange things. ”

"And I'm old enough that I have plenty of time to satisfy my curiosity! Many people may not be able to achieve it in their lifetime, and this is the advantage of the elderly!"

"Boy. Do you know? No amount of talent can replace experience!" Armstrong pinched his beard and glanced at Li Zijun.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Zijun hurriedly nodded and smiled at Armstrong. In order to express my apologies for the insulting words I just made.

"Later, some extreme insect venom researchers actually moved the insect venom into their own bodies, and since then insect venom research has also entered a new field!"

"Before, in fact, insect poison was not much different from ordinary poisons, and when dealing with some high-level martial artists, they were even inferior to ordinary poisons!"

"You should know this best, the proximity of lifeforms to high-level martial artists will cause them to be instinctively alert, so it is difficult for insect venom to work on them!"

"But now that you've realized it, I think you'll think about it over and over again. I'm afraid you're not sure when you were poisoned, are you?!"

Hearing Armstrong's words, Li Zijun shook his head with a wry smile.

"However, there are pros and cons, and this characteristic also makes it impossible for the user of the insect venom to have too many goals! In the known records, the insect venom master can only poison five people at the same time, and it is worth noting that this person was killed by the insect venom shortly after reaching this goal. Since then, I haven't heard of a single poison giver daring to exceed the limit of three!"

"It's not easy to contact the generation of insect venom, and there are never too many users of insect venom. So, I don't think it's going to be as bad as you think!"

"Just Boris is enough to help Gladys secure his current position!"

"I don't have any idea who sits in Ziqing's position! If Gladys had chosen me to be her ally, maybe I'd be able to help her!"

But now it seems that she has too many ideas! She is not only going to sacrifice you to make the rights in her hands more reasonable and legitimate. She's also trying to help her brother get rid of a potential future opponent!" Armstrong said with a meaningful look at Li Zijun.

"She really thinks so highly of me!" Li Zijun knew very well what Armstrong was hinting at, but he didn't dare to accept the other party's statement. He shook his head with a wry smile.

"What are you going to do next? What else can I do to help you except take you in?" Li Zijun's performance had been expected by Armstrong. He didn't pay much attention to it.

"I promised Prince Woodrow that I would send Walter out of Toscano safely. Do you have any good ways to deal with this?" "Since he already owes so much, Li Zijun doesn't care about owing Armstrong a favor.

"If it's just you, I might have some options, but if you want to send them out of Toscano as well, you'd be really embarrassed for me!" Armstrong had been thinking about this since he saw Li Zijun, and when he heard Li Zijun ask, he replied with a little embarrassment.

"With you protecting me, it doesn't matter if I can't leave Toscano, as long as you can send them out of the city, I will be very grateful!" For a moment, Li Zijun didn't quite understand what Armstrong meant.

"It's not that you can't do it when you get them out of town, it's that you can't do it!"

"We, the Cult of the Illuminatis, never intervene in power struggles within the country! Curtis and Walter's identities are too sensitive, and I really can't do anything about it!"

"Oops, I ignored this question, I'm really causing you trouble this time!" Hearing Armstrong say this, Li Zijun also remembered this taboo of the Bright God Sect, and hurriedly got up and said to the archmage.

"You, me, and Kaye are old friends, it's too polite to say this! As long as you're here for a day, I'll make sure your day is safe!"

"But you also have to remind Uncle Curtis that I am not alone in this situation, and I hope they don't wander around in the Cult of Light. ”

"Definitely!definitely!" Li Zijun immediately assured Armstrong.

Next, the two chatted about their respective encounters after the last separation, and Li Zijun got up to say goodbye.

After sending Li Zijun back to Curtis and Ward's room, Armstrong once again pretended not to know them, briefly admonished them, and turned to leave.

"Will they take us in?" Curtis waited for Armstrong to walk out of the room, and he immediately pulled Li Zijun over and asked in a low voice.

"For Archmage Kaye's sake, they allowed us to take refuge here for a while, and I was about to ask them to send you out of the city, but they politely refused. It seems that we have to figure out our own way of this matter!" Li Zijun sighed.

"It's also a group of people who are timid and afraid of things and tend to be inflammatory!" Hearing Li Zijun's answer, Hua De said indignantly beside him.

"Walter, don't talk nonsense!'Don't intervene in the internal disputes of the regime', this is the canon of the Illuminati Cult! They are willing to take us in or see the face of the Grand Duke, if they rely on you and me, I'm afraid that we won't even be able to enter the outside gate!" Curtis was worried that Walde's words would cause Li Zijun's dissatisfaction, so he hurriedly reprimanded him.

"Grand Duke, Walter is not a big deal, can you not be like him?" reprimanded Walter, Curtis turned to Li Zijun again.

"It's okay, it's okay! Actually, I think it's a little unreasonable for them to do this!" Li Zijun smiled and waved his hand to Curtis, supporting Walter Road.

Ward wanted to say something, but was eventually stopped by Curtis's murderous gaze.

"Grand Duke, what do you think we should do next?" The situation is stronger than people, and the arrogant Curtis has to show his humble side.

"You don't know that you have become the leader of a conspiracy to usurp power in Toscano, that I have been molded by them as your ruthless ally, and that the little prince is the only good man of the three, but he is being held hostage by us at the moment!" Li Zijun then recounted to the two of them what he had learned from Armstrong.

"If you escort me and the second prince out, you will immediately be able to become the hero of the Ziqing Empire! Boris Bixia is afraid that he will also pass the throne directly to you!" Li Zijun said to Hua De with a smile.

"Don't say I can't do it, even if I do, I'm afraid that before you have anything, my head will already fall to the ground! Grand Duke, I'm not stupid enough to be this point, you can't make such a joke with me!" Hua De was taken aback by Li Zijun's words, and he waved his hand to Li Zijun again and again.

Li Zijun said this just to give Huade a wake-up call, seeing his performance, Li Zijun nodded slightly in his heart, this kid is not a fool after all!

"According to you, Father is still alive?" Curtis was so surprised and delighted to hear the news that he could barely believe his ears.

"If nothing happens, this should be true!"

"Say this, say that" Curtis felt that it was a shame for Bixia, the king of the Ziqing Empire, to be threatened and controlled by a woman, and for a moment, he didn't know how to say this.

"I think the reason why Boris Bixia is subject to Gladys is that he is probably also poisoned by worms!" Li Zijun's explanation finally gave Curtis an excuse to comfort himself.

"Grand Duke, can we first find a way to rescue the imperial grandfather? As long as the imperial grandfather successfully extricates himself from the predicament, our situation will soon be reversed, and we will no longer have to hide in Tibet like we are now!"

Hearing Huade's words, Li Zijun couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly!

"Gladys knows better than we do what Boris Bixia does, and she's going to hide it in a very secluded, safe place! ”

"Don't say we don't know where Boris Bixia is hiding, even if we find out his whereabouts, we won't have a chance to get close to him at all!"

"And" Li Zijun didn't continue, he turned his gaze to Curtis. (To be continued......)
