Chapter 339: Betrayal
The rhinoceros was silent for a moment and asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Why?"
The alchemist knew that this was the most important question, and whether he could gain the trust of the other party or not depended on the answer this time, but fortunately, he had nothing to hide or lie.
"His Highness Gusin was already very contemptuous of alchemy and other knowledge, and the Lord believed that only strength was everything, and this paranoia was crowned by him...... No, maybe it was after he saw the inhuman power in you that the change started to intensify. ”
Maybe the rhinoceros didn't notice, the alchemist's address to Gusin was not 'Your Majesty', but a change to 'Your Highness' when Gusin was still a prince.
The alchemist dragged the water tank full of blood to the ground, while the rhinoceros calmly watched the alchemist finish it all.
"To His Highness Gusin, we are just small characters that can be abandoned at any time, and we only stay by our side because we are barely useful. What will happen to the prince one day when he thinks that we are useless, or that we know that secrets are worth more than we are?"
The rhinoceros didn't answer, and the alchemist didn't ask for an answer in the first place.
"That lord will not miss the old feelings, he will not hesitate, he will simply and neatly put everyone in this institute to death. ”
Effortlessly dragging the cistern to the improvised experimental equipment, the alchemist ignored the cistern and turned to begin to mix some kind of potion, while his words continued as if grumbling and explaining.
"It's ironic, isn't it? That lord doesn't have the resourcefulness and strength of the superior person, but he has the decisiveness and ruthlessness of the superior one. ”
Listening to the alchemist's whining and watching the alchemist tinker with the instrument in his hand, the rhinoceros finally spoke.
"Then what are you going to do, if you run away with me, His Royal Highness the prince with a brain problem will surely catch up like crazy, right?"
There was a reason why the alchemist no longer called Gusin His Highness, but why did the rhinoceros also call Gusin a prince?
"Speaking of which, I haven't told you yet, His Highness Gusin has already grabbed the throne. ”
Hearing this, the rhinoceros's imprisoned body writhed violently.
"Isn't that even more impossible? If we do, we're going to be hunted down by a country, right?"
The alchemist was not too worried about this natural worry, and he smiled slightly.
"If the opponent is a country, I can only wait for the day when my life will end with peace of mind, but fortunately, His Highness Gusin does not fully control the country. ”
The alchemist had already heard about the second prince's rescue, and whoever was in charge of it must be very powerful, and this force was the alchemist's hope.
"I'm not sure we'll find the other side, and I'm not sure they'll accept us, it's a gamble that is far less likely to fail than to succeed, but it's better to gamble and last time than to be stuck here and die. ”
The alchemist put aside the potion he had prepared and began to rummage through the room, finally pulling out a thick iron kettle from the pile of items in the corner, which was not large, only the size of a wine bottle, but because it was used to hold distilled water, it was clean.
Placing the kettle on the table, the alchemist began to transfer the blood from the cistern to the kettle, though it was clear that the kettle did not hold much blood, leaving most of it behind.
Out of curiosity, the rhinoceros asked.
"What are you doing here?"
To say that the alchemist is like using his own blood as a way to obtain the protection of the 'other party', the rhinoceros can understand, but the practice of only pretending to be a small part of it makes the rhinoceros not understand, no matter how you think about it, the more the name, the better, right?
Setting aside the full iron kettle, the alchemist re-picked up the potion he had concocted and explained to the rhinoceros as he could.
"Didn't you just say that if the two of us left like this, His Highness Gu Xin would definitely send someone to pursue him, so we need to find something to distract His Highness Gu Xin. ”
Knocked on the outer wall of the cistern with his hand, said the alchemist.
"Let's just hope that this thing can make His Highness Gu Xin's pursuit of us not so fierce. ”
The alchemist wasn't sure, he didn't know what kind of means Gu Xin would take, so he had to do something with this blood.
The alchemist poured the potion into the cistern, and the potion quickly melted into the bright red blood and vanished.
"What did you pour into it?"
Of course, the rhinoceros also saw the alchemist's movements, he didn't know what the alchemist did, but instinctively sensed that it wouldn't be a good thing.
Sure enough, the alchemist's answer confirmed the rhinoceros's guess.
"Maniac potions can improve people's bodily functions through hallucinogen-like effects, but unlike hallucinogens, madness potions do not affect the mind and are not addictive, and the side effect is only to put the user in a state of extreme emotional instability. ”
The alchemist paused, then stated his intentions.
"This will make it difficult for His Highness Gushin to control the newly converted mutant warriors, thus minimizing the pursuit and obstruction we may suffer, after all, if something goes wrong with the most important mutant warrior, it will be the worst situation for His Highness Gusin. ”
Will it really go that well?The rhinoceros wasn't sure, but he knew he wasn't good at using his brain, so he didn't bother with it, but nodded at the alchemist.
"Okay, I agree with what you said before, you give me back my freedom, and I'll take you with me. ”
Hearing the rhinoceros's words, the alchemist breathed a sigh of relief, if it weren't for the rhinoceros, he wouldn't have had enough force to leave the heavily guarded research institute.
In the few seconds that the alchemist was distracted, something happened that made him dumbfounded.
The muscles of the rhinoceros bulged high, and the chains that had been used to imprison him and the steel spikes that pierced his shoulders and limbs were broken by brute force.
In an instant, the warning that had been set up was magically triggered, and a piercing alarm echoed over the Institute.
This behavior made the wounds on the rhinoceros's body that had not healed even more dangerous and terrifying, but the rhinoceros stood up as if it didn't feel anything, and pulled out the steel thorns that had broken in the muscles one by one.
The sluggish alchemist was awakened by the shrill sound of an alarm, and he shook his head with a wry smile.
“...... It's true. ”
I don't know what to say, but it's pretty clear what to do.
Lifting the kettle, the alchemist walked up to the rhinoceros and held out his free right hand.
"Let's go, I'm going to escape. (To be continued.) )
