Chapter 235: Revisiting Madeleine
Tony said to Adrian, "You can't go with them, you can't help them in the middle of the way, and you can't ask anyone else to help them. Either way!"
Adrian didn't seem to be willing to hear such a reality, and he glanced at Lanaya with mixed emotions, but finally nodded.
"This time, it was the hall master who gave them the opportunity to join your stealth department, and it was also a very important test for them. If they can pass the exam, it will be much easier for you to lead them in the future. See what I mean?"
"Understood. ”
After leaving the headquarters of the garrison, the first thing they did was to return to the hospital room where Fillel and Anne were and explained to them about the incident.
"I love adventure. Fillel rubbed her fingertips against the medical bandage tied to her arm and smiled.
As if there was an incentive to travel, Fillel's injury improved much faster. While waiting for Fillel to be discharged from the hospital, Lanaya was not idle, since Grint returned from Moye City, he had plunged into alchemy, and there were many problems that needed to be solved urgently, and Lanaya's help was needed.
Lanaya is also willing to study these things with Grinthe, and can regain her long-lost hobby and live a fulfilling life.
In addition, Lanaya had to go to the intelligence department to inquire about the assassination target, but when she knew a little about the target, her face became more and more solemn.
The so-called fifth assassination target, Hypard, is an elven slaver who operates in the northernmost part of the continent. Moreover, according to the people in the Ministry of Intelligence, this person is not an ordinary person, and judging from the various characteristics of his appearance, it is very likely that he has a part of the blood of the demon race.
Other than that, the Intelligence Department had no more information about Hypeld, but Ranaya was able to deduce something from what she knew.
Elf, demon, northern continent. Combining these three key pieces of information, Lanaya almost immediately thought of the puppeteer incident in Silver Snow City.
It seems that their target this time is an enemy who they have not been able to clean up in the past! This time the operation is not that they are going to set out to kill this person, it is likely that that the person has already cast a net and waited for them!
Ranaya also asked the Ministry of Intelligence for some general information about the northern part of the continent and made some notes. After she returned, she didn't tell anyone the real content of the assessment, but only said that she would go to the far north of the continent. Of course, Lanaya will not keep everyone in the dark all the time, and when it is really impossible to hide it, she will naturally reveal the truth to everyone.
"My head is going to blow up...... Grint frowned, snapped the alchemy book, and crumpled the paper full of drafts next to it. She pushed her hands against the edge of the table, and the chair under her seat slid back so far that it collided with the back of Lanaya's chair.
Lanaya was stunned, didn't look back, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Come with me to Moye City to buy some formula drawings!"
Alchemy is similar to casters, and things as delicate as drawings are all painstakingly researched by private individuals, and researchers have the right to keep their results secret or limit the number of copies, and generally do not easily disclose them to the public.
The books distributed to the public are basically the characteristics of various raw materials, explaining how many doses will produce what kind of effect, etc., and the specific measurement requires countless experiments by the learners themselves.
"Moye City?" Lanaya thought for a while, then suddenly turned around, patted the back of Grint's chair, and said excitedly, "We can call another person this time!"
"Who?, Willy?" Grint immediately turned his head.
Lanaya shook her head.
"Manjuhua?"
Still shaking his head.
"I can't think of it. Wait a minute, is it ......" Grint tapped his fingertips on the back of his chair, "Merry?"
"That's her!"
"Why did you take her?" Grint looked at Lanaya suspiciously, and suddenly shook his head in disbelief, "Impossible, how could Merry, such a noble elf, go with us?"
"Merry may be of great help to us in this assessment. Even if it's please, I'm going to invite her out. ”
Merry is an elven clan, and among the people who went this time, only Merry must be the one who knows the elves best. If it weren't for Merry, if they ran into the elves, who knew if the elves would have considered them enemies or friends?
Grint showed a thoughtful look, in fact, she still hoped that Merry could join them, Merry would definitely become their powerful bodyguard, and the focus was eye-catching! If Grint was a man, I am afraid that he would have been unconscious for a long time, right?
"How can I help you?" asked Grint. Now, Grint has gradually realized that there are almost no things that Lanaya wants to do but can't, and that they should be supported and helped if it is beneficial to them.
"I don't know. ”
"Do you look at your face?"
"Probably. Ranaya said, "I know someone I haven't told you before. That person is an alchemy master, and his relationship with Merry is like siblings. Let me tell you this, the alchemy master is Samantha's grandmother. ”
"Oh my God?!" Grint opened his mouth, thought about it carefully, and said, "It turned out to be her?...... Lanaya, you always have a lot of secrets that I don't know. ”
"You didn't ask me either!" Lanaya smiled and continued, "It's a difficult thing this time, and I don't know if her old man is willing to let Merry go with us." Anyway, we're going to give it a try, and when you buy the drawings, we'll go to Merry. ”
"Hmm!"
Fillier has been able to get out of bed and move normally, and return to the group on this trip. Annick was not so lucky, according to the medical center, because some of the more damaged wounds were difficult to treat, she had to recuperate for another half a month.
Interestingly, a few days later, a little girl who had just joined the logistics regiment and came to work in the medical center asked Anne curiously, "Have I seen you twice?" Then, Anne remembered some unbearable past events that happened in the casting room, and scolded Lanaya thirty-eight times in her heart, but unfortunately Lanaya was no longer in the Hidden Sanctuary at this time.
Before that, Lanaya gave the other nine members of the team a brief explanation of what Grint had to do first, and Lanaya further revealed the purpose of the operation, which was to protect the elves in a certain area. In this way, even if they don't say their original purpose directly, they understand that they may be able to do something when necessary.
A total of ten people, divided into two groups, arrived in Moye City one after another, and agreed to meet in the alchemy room later. It was also wronged by Luo Yin, so far, he was the only person he knew most well in the Hidden Sanctuary only Lanaya, but he could only be with the four of them. And Fillel was like holding back for a long time, asking Luo Yin questions all the way, which made the originally talkative Ballen and Moloko so embarrassed that they didn't know where to look.
Luo Yin actually took the trouble to answer for Filier one by one, what Filil asked was nothing more than where he came from, his previous experience, why he was so powerful, etc., this was Luo Yin's proudest moment, how could he easily let go of such a superb opportunity!
The atmosphere on Luo Yin's side seems to be like a leisure time outing, and Lanaya is different from them. On the way, Lanaya's face was always worried, and when she thought about it, she understood that even if it was the first assassination mission, nine lives might not be enough, and when she confronted the Spirit Pupil Witch, if it wasn't for Adrian's rescue, would she still be standing here? This time, Tony gave a clear order, Adrian couldn't act with them, and he couldn't interfere halfway...... She wasn't sure if the operation was going to kill or die.
Therefore, Lanaya had already made a decision in her heart, if it really came to a critical juncture, then she would spare no effort! She had so many secrets, so many things that did not belong to this world, but so what? Saving her life and the secret of her own strength were obviously the former important. If you want to talk about influence, it is nothing more than that those who are weaker than you are discouraged from seeing you, and those who are stronger than you see you kill you by mistake, so does it matter if such a secret is known or not?
Besides, these people who came with Ranaya were not outsiders, they were allies. Most of the time, choosing a trusted partner is not a blind move. And this test, for them, has another level of meaning, that is, to test the trust and cohesion between them. There are more times when companions need to cooperate with each other, and it is not surprising to let companions know their strength.
The alchemy room seemed to be more lively than any of the times they came, and several people who looked like apprentices, holding a full load of alchemy materials, were running back and forth between the hall and the same alchemy room, and Lanaya stopped one of them and asked, "What is a good day today?"
"Every day is a good day now!" said the apprentice excitedly, "Our Honorary President is back!"
"Honorary President?......" Lanaya gave a surprised expression, Madeleine is back?!
"Take us to her!"
The apprentice frowned, and casually asked him to endure it, can the alchemy master meet people casually?" "I'm sorry, the honorary president is busy, and it's inconvenient for you to visit." With that, he stepped inside.
"I just wanted to ask her something......" Ranaya had finished her sentence when the apprentice had already hurried away. Without hesitation, she ran up directly, Madeleine she must see, and only Madeleine could possibly move Merry to go with them!
The apprentice had something in his arms, and he couldn't stop Lanaya, but in the end Lanaya arrived before him, smiled cheekily, and opened the door for him.
A smell mixed with various herbs came to her face, and Madeleine was looking at an alchemy recipe drawing, muttering something, and when she saw the door open, she looked up, and first felt a sense of lightness.
"Long time no see, kid!" said the wrinkles on Madeleine's face stretched back, "The antidote works well, doesn't it?"
