Gong Hao desperately rushed to the lake.

Lancelot was still asleep, and Gong Hao took out a small bottle of sobering agent and sniffed it, and then immediately ran out of the cabin.

The wooden stake outside had been manipulated by him in advance, and he roared and punched the wooden stake more than ten times in a row, until his fists were bloody and fleshy, and then flew up and kicked the stake off.

This series of big movements caused the wound he had just healed by the healing potion to burst again, and he could no longer control his body, and collapsed weakly on the ground.

A warm current suddenly overflowed from his body, quickly regaining his strength, and it seemed that it was the work of the new tenant again.

Sensing the actions of the new tenant, Gong Hao had to think about whether the new tenant would adopt the violent way of breaking through his body like a demon spirit when he left his body in the future, or would he take a gentler approach without hurting himself?

Well, that's a problem.

One thing is certain, the new tenant is not like the spirit seed that can dodge the inner vision of the fighting spirit, it is more powerful than the spirit seed, but it does not have the power to dodge the fighting spirit. Gong Hao could easily find its location.

Do you want to dig yourself out of the stomach with a knife again?

Gong Hao thought.

He immediately felt a sense of fear in his mind, it should be the new tenant from within.

Can this guy sense my thoughts? It looks scared, and it's begging me for mercy?

Well, if you promise that you won't mistreat and promise that you won't hurt me at birth, then I'll consider sparing your life.

Birth?Damn, how could I use that word? Lao Tzu wouldn't want to be pregnant like a woman for ten months, would it? Gong Hao felt a little sad.

Do you want to hatch the word? No, I'm not a hen! I'd rather get pregnant!

There are two emotions in my mind: joyful joy and good-natured laughter.

Looks like the deal is done.

Gong Hao breathed a sigh of relief, alas, if he could, who would want to stab himself in the stomach?

"It looks like you're really working hard and not being lazy while I'm sleeping. Lancelot's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Lord Lancelot, you're awake. ”

Gong Hao struggled to get up, the sweat on his head confirming that he had indeed consumed the drama.

Lancelot used healing potions to restore him, and Gong Hao only felt that his vitality was strong again, and even the new tenants in his body felt breathless. It looked like it was really nervous.

After a while, an apprentice came running from the castle: "Huy Igler, are you really here? Didn't you see what happened in the castle? Lord Andrew is looking for you everywhere." ”

"I'm sorry, Master Hughes. Gong Hao stood up with a panicked face: "I didn't notice that I was cultivating Dou Qi just now, so I'll go over now." ”

At this point, he was back to the same former Huyglare.

Hurried to the castle, all the servants had already woken up.

Andrew and Pierre were there, and even Hines came out of the tower.

The entire castle is now a mess, full of houses destroyed by demonic beasts, and several demonic plants have been trampled and eaten by demonic beasts, and some rare demonic plants have even died.

Looking at all this, Gong Hao felt a sense of revenge.

"Have you counted the damage?" asked Hines in a deep voice.

Andrew replied with a shudder, "The inventory is being counted, but the confirmed loss is about seventy-three demon plants, of which twelve are extinct. I think we're going to have to use alternative materials. In addition, some finished materials have also been damaged to varying degrees. ”

"It's a shame. Hines shook his head regretfully: "Just because of the negligence of the guards, which caused a few demonic beasts to escape, this situation occurred. You must know that there are some things that there are simply no other materials to replace, and because of the lack of one or two materials, some products may no longer be made. If you want to deliver normally this month, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it. ”

Andrew glared at Gong Hao, who rushed over: "Glare, look at what you are doing?" The magic spar has no energy, causing the cage to lose its magic barrier, and several large magical beasts have broken the cage and escaped, causing such a huge loss! Why didn't you report the spar to me?"

Gong Hao didn't feel strange about Andrew's anger, which he had prepared for a long time. Now, he's ready to take the next step.

He said unhurriedly: "Lord Andrew, I just heard about the escape of the Warcraft from prison. As for the hedron matter, I reported it to you. ”

"Nonsense!" Andrew yelled, "When did you report to me?"

"Lord Andrew, I sent you a work report five days ago, and you were doing experiments at the time, so I put the report on your desk. ”

"I've read the reports, but there aren't any reports of the hedrons' lack of energy. ”

"My lord, I can vouch for my life, I did hand over the report to you, maybe you were busy and didn't see it. You know, I can't get the Power Hedron without your consent. So I've been waiting for your reply, but you haven't given me a reply. ”

Hines immediately said, "Pierre, go to Andrew's room and see if there is that report." ”

Pierre immediately left.

After a while, Pierre came out with the report: "Mentor, there is indeed this report, and it is very clear that the spars of which cages have been running low on energy...... If Andrew had replaced the hedron earlier, this would not have happened. ”

"Alas. Hines sighed: "Andrew, you are derelict in your duties. ”

Andrew didn't expect the situation to be like this, and he was stunned for a while and didn't know what to say, or Gong Hao hurriedly said: "Master Hines, Lord Andrew has been very busy these days, I think he may not have seen the report, instead of ignoring the content above." Actually, it's still my fault, and I should remind you again. But you know, I have a lot of things to do myself, so ...... I'm sorry, Master. ”

"Forget it. Hines waved his hand: "I know you're a good boy, and it seems that you and Andrew have a good relationship." But anyway, Andrew, you're derelict in your duties. I will tell Your Majesty about this, and he will make a decision on punishment. ”

"Yes, Mentor. Andrew replied helplessly.

"Master Hines, what are those dead plants? I thought maybe I had a solution to the material problem. Gong Hao said suddenly.

Both Hines and Andrew were taken aback and looked at Gong Hao.

Hines narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you sure you can do it?"

"Unfortunately I'm not sure about that, all I can say is that I'll do my best. But Master, if I can do it, I still hope that Master will forgive Master Andrew. ”

For Gong Hao's request, Hines and Pierre were a little surprised, but Andrew was moved.

Hines asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Master, as you know, I've been following Lord Lancelot to catch magical beasts in the jungles of Purgatory Island for the past year. I think I have a basic grasp of the situation in the jungle area of Purgatory Island. I can't resurrect dead demon plants, but I may be able to find plants that can replace them. The only problem is ... ”

"What's the problem?"

Gong Hao said boldly: "I don't know what their specific function is, you know that it belongs to the category of alchemy. And only by knowing what they do, can I find the magic plants we need according to their effects. Also, in botany, I once heard of a method called grafting. If I am given time, I can also breed some new varieties that meet the needs of alchemy through this method. If I can't find the plant that the master needs, then I'll try to grow it myself. But no matter how you do it, you can't do without the need for alchemical knowledge. People always have to know what they need in order to pursue it, just like they always have to know what they want to eat before they can plant. ”

Hines fell into deep thought.

He knew exactly what Gong Hao's request meant.

At this moment, an apprentice hurriedly ran over: "Master Hines, two adults, something happened on the other side of the valley. ”

—————————————

Looking at the corpses of Neil and Fink, Pierre's face was extremely ugly.

Andrew, who had just been "derelict in his duties" and was almost convicted, looked at Pierre with some schadenfreude.

If Warcraft's escape from prison was Andrew's dereliction of duty, then what happened on this side of the valley was Pie's dereliction of duty.

It seems that Pierre's negligence led to a bigger mistake than Andrew.

One apprentice died, another young servant died, and it led to the demise of a spirit seed, the puppet warrior's sword stabbing Fink in the chest, destroying it completely.

Picking up the badge from the ground, the alchemist let out a helpless sigh: "It seems that Neil made a mistake, he obviously underestimated the energy that people can burst out in the face of danger, which led to the escape of this servant and the fight here. Neil's badge drops during the fight, so the puppet warrior kills both of them. ”

"It seems so. Pierre agreed: "But Mentor, I always feel that things are a little strange, why is it that when something happens to the castle, there is also an accident in the valley? Is it really a coincidence?"

Hines replied: "It may not be a coincidence, but it is more like a chain reaction – one accident leads to another." If it weren't for the Monster Prison Break in the castle, you wouldn't have left. If you don't leave, nothing like this will happen. Isn't there a ballad? If you lose a horseshoe, you lose a king, you lose a war, you lose a war, you lose a country. A lot of things are interconnected, as is the case with alchemy that we have studied. If we don't know how to study the laws of existence, we can't use it. And things always have a lot of mysterious connections to each other that we don't even understand. Now it looks like that's the case with this kind of thing happening tonight. We can only explain it in terms of necessity in chance. Otherwise, do you have any better explanation?"

Pierre thought for a moment and said to himself, "I always feel that things are not that simple. These servants had all been tested with magic patterns before, and their strength was almost exhausted. There's no reason why Fink can get out of the valley, and there are puppet warriors in the valley, so why doesn't Neil just use the warriors in the valley, but chase him out and fight him? Neil's potion shows signs of being drunk, which means that he has been injured before. What could that Fink do to make him so badly injured that he was forced to use the potion? If it was an injury sustained in a fight, how could Neil have the time to drink the medicine and put it back in?"

Andrew frowned: "As the mentor said, people sometimes burst out with huge energy when they are in trouble, and the extreme training method used by the warriors when cultivating Dou Qi is not to induce that energy by forcing themselves into a desperate situation? As for the reason why Neil chased him out without using the puppet warrior, hum, this kid has always been arrogant, maybe he didn't think Fink could run away at all, so he chased him out directly. As for the potion, it may have been because Fink ripped off his badge when he fled, but he also inflicted heavy damage, and as a result, he was killed by a puppet samurai while escaping from Taniguchi. And when Neil saw that Fink was dead, he wanted to see how the spirit seed was doing and whether it could be recovered, so he drank the potion for himself by the way. But he didn't notice that his badge was ripped off, and as a result, he was also killed by the puppet warriors. ”

"In that case, it seems that the badge fell too close to Neil's body. ”

"Who knows? Maybe the wind is blowing?"

"It could also be that someone killed Neil and deliberately faked the scene. ”

"Oh?" Andrew smirked, "who could that be?"

"Huy Glerle has this ability, he learned fighting spirit from Lancelot, you and I know this, he has the ability to inflict heavy damage on Neil. He also has a coat of arms and is free to enter and exit the valley. ”

"But the problem is that Neil also knows this, and he can't just let Gler kill him without even using the puppet warrior. Only if Fink escapes, he may not use the puppet warriors in the valley because of arrogance, you don't think that Glare has any way to make the puppet warriors disobey, right? And it turns out that the two of them were indeed killed by the puppet warriors of Taniguchi, and the blood on the puppet warrior's sword has not yet dried. What's more, Lancelot also said that Glaire is just a junior warrior, he is not capable of doing all this, he can't even beat a puppet warrior!"

"But he's still suspicious, don't forget that he was the last to come when something happened to the castle, and he had plenty of time to do it all. ”

"You may think this conspiracy theory is a cover for the mistakes you've made in this matter, but you'd better not splash dirty water on my most admired men. ”

"Is it because he just said good things about you? Andrew. ”

"Shut up Piye, do you have to pull my man into the water after you die an apprentice?"

"That's enough, you two don't quarrel!" Hines suddenly exclaimed. A crystal ball flashed in his hand: "I just got in touch with Lancelot, and Huy Gler has been by the lake tonight. For several days on end, Glerle had been practicing the extreme training method of the samurai. According to Lancelot, it is difficult for people who have practiced extreme training methods to even stand up, let alone run into the valley to kill people. And...... It didn't do him any good. ”

"That's true, Mentor. Andrew replied respectfully, "If I were Huygliel, even if I knew about the spirit seed, I would only choose to run away than come to this valley to kill an apprentice." ”

"Maybe he was there to save his friend Fink. Pierre was still a little unconvinced.

"But the problem is that he didn't save him. Fink is dead, and by the sword of a puppet samurai, he has the coat of arms, and he could have taken Fink with him. ”

"Maybe he couldn't save it. ”

"If that's the case, Glair won't be able to run away on his own, and don't forget that Neil has a way to activate the spirit seed, and he has too many ways to kill Glair instead of letting him leave Fink and run away on his own. ”

"Alright. Hines said, "Don't argue anymore, you two have already confirmed that the affairs of the valley cannot have anything to do with Gleyre, and we have no reason to suspect that Lancelot is lying." And we are alchemists, not the police dogs of the Sheriff's Department and the Attorney General's Chamber's Chambers. We don't have a good nose like theirs, we can smell the air and restore the murder scene, and we don't have the same problem that everyone has to suspect and distrust anyone. So there is no need to argue about this matter, it is a simple accident, and the matter will end here. Knowing that this is Purgatory Island, I don't think any of the half-grown kids are going to be able to play with a plot right under our noses. And we're not conspiracy theorists or bards, so we can't speculate on countless possibilities based on a single clue. An alchemist should always focus only on data and facts, not reasoning!Huegliel is a good boy, I have always admired him, and so far there is no evidence that he has discovered our secrets, so there is no need for us to frame him for jealousy or other reasons. And sooner or later he will die, and if he really did it, then the punishment will only be sooner or later. ”

"Yes, Mentor. Andrew and Pierre nodded at the same time.

Hines used the words jealousy and frame-up, suggesting that he was no longer satisfied with Pie's wild speculation.

"Now we have a more important problem to solve. Hines said, "With the death of an apprentice and the loss of another batch of important plants, tonight is the worst day ever on Purgatory Island. The question now is how to solve the problem of manpower allocation and material replenishment. ”

"The apprentices are already overworked, and we can't afford to give them more work," Pierre said. Let the Liberty bring another apprentice. ”

Andrew immediately said: "But the problem is that the Liberty just left today, and they won't be here until next month." And even if we tell them about it next month, they'll have to wait another month before they can send in the apprentices. That is to say, there are still sixty days, what are we going to do in that time? This does not include the time it takes to select the right apprentice, knowing that an apprentice is not a servant, and it is not so easy to find an apprentice who is well-knowledged, skilled, and willing to defend a desert island for the Empire and can accept our living research...... And then there's the plants. ”

Pierre was dumbfounded.

Hines let out a long sigh: "It seems that we can only let Huy Gler take it first." ”

"He?" Andrew and Pierre were shocked at the same time: "Can he do it?"

"Of course, he can do it, and I'm sure he'll be up to the task. This kid has always learned things quickly, and he has read many library records, and has enough theoretical foundation, so this matter is decided. Pierre, go and tell the other apprentices that Huygliel will be temporarily joining the Alchemy Tower. Keep all experiments related to the valley sealed and kept secret, and they are not allowed to discuss the matter privately in the future, so as not to let Glare find out. Then let Glare officially take over Neil's work, except, of course, the demon spirit and other parts, I think he will be a good assistant. ”

"Yes, Mentor!" both agreed at the same time.
