- "You only have one hand left, let's see what you do!" Rosie scolded angrily from the side, "Sometimes your kindness is just like that of Lu Yuewu I really want to slap you."
Lu Yuewu, who was leaning against the wall with her sword in her arms, remained silent.
The alchemist had no time to refute. There were two open scrolls on the long table in front of him. They shone with the same golden luster. The secret words written on them seemed to come alive in the not dazzling golden light, as if they were dancing on the paper. They are the Alchemy Scrolls of Orestus that have disappeared from people's sight. One comes from Prince Oberyn, and the other comes from the Red Monk. How they got them, Leo didn't know, they didn't explain, and he could only feel lucky for it.
"You have time to talk, why not come and help me." The alchemist said to the female mage while searching for the formula hidden between the lines on the scroll, "Do you think I can grasp something with this hand?" He raised his left hand slightly.
Rosie was silent for a moment, then muttered, "You deserve it." She hesitated for a while, then came over and stood next to Leo. She reached out and grabbed a crystal wine glass and turned it in front of her eyes to let the sunlight shine through the glass. , transmitting colorful and magnificent light. "I don't know what you're going to do." She put down the cup.
Without raising his head, Leo pointed at the various things piled all over the table: most of them were some herbs, but there were also weird witchcraft materials, such as rat skulls, writhing worms, white brains, and overgrown The black dust of mildew there is no shortage of everything. He was trying to peel the fangs out of a spider's body. But his left hand was so clumsy that he could barely hold the tweezers in his left hand.
Rosie offered her hand, but she also twitched the corners of her mouth in disgust, "I don't know how you got it." She glanced at Lu Yuewu, "Did you get it with your left hand? Sell it. That piece of meat? It¡¯s really valuable.¡±
"Luo Qian!" Lu Yuewu shouted.
The female mage sneered and stopped talking.
The alchemist didn¡¯t know what happened between them. As far as his eyes could see, their relationship became somewhat strange and abnormal. But now, the scorching cauldron on the alcohol lamp was making a roar, and he had no time to pay attention to it.
"I have some black pearls here, and I need its powder." He told the female mage, pointing to a piece of opal etched with gold placed on the other side. "This rune stone also needs to be inlaid on the magic circle node of the oak disk¡ª¡ª"
"Are you sure I'm okay and won't screw up? I don't have any magic power."
"No, it's quite simple." Leo told her, "I just need to make some potions."
"What medicine?"
The alchemist stopped what he was doing, looked up at the greatly changed Rosie, and said in a gentle voice, "Of course, in order to cure your disease and get rid of the backlash of magic."
Rosie lowered her head and was silent for a while, and it took a while before she seemed to muster up the courage. "Look at me like this, I don't need it anymore." She casually brushed the red hair that lowered her eyes. It was like a wisp of withered grass bathed in the evening sun, which was particularly dazzling. What was originally a long, fiery red hair that reached her waist, as if it were burning, has now been transformed into short, ear-length hair.
He remembered that when he saw her like this, he was completely speechless. Comfort, apology, guiltall the emotions were clogged in his chest, almost suffocating him. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
"It doesn't matter, as long as it gets better, your hair will grow back soon. You have to believe in the alchemist's ability."
Luo Qian snorted coldly, "You are always the one who does evil things." However, there was always a joyful tone in her words.
"Who?" Lu Yuewu suddenly stood up straight and grabbed the hilt of the sword.
There was a low cry outside the door.
"Who is it?" Lu Yuewu drew out her sword and grabbed the door handle with her left hand.
"Damn it!" Leo cursed angrily. He rolled up the scroll as fast as he could, stuffed it into the bag beside him, and threw it to Rosie, asking her to hide it carefully. And he himself began to pack away the disgusting things that seemed to represent evil witchcraft. A cup was knocked over by his stiff left hand and fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The solution prepared in it seeped into the floor tiles, completely wasting it. "Damn it, who the hell is this idiot!" he cursed.
However, it became dead silent outside the door, as if the low cry before was coming from an elusive ghost.
"Did you hear that correctly?" The female mage got up from the ground, her shirt covered with brick dust, "Or is there something wrong with our ears?"
Lu Yuewu said nothing. She looked at the alchemists and asked them with her eyes whether they had hidden everything. Leo nodded, and then the female swordsman took a breath, suddenly pulled the door open, and shouted at the same time.The sword stabbed out smoothly.
A high-decibel scream pierced the eardrums.
Outside the door is a girl wearing a green floor-length dress. She had a look of horror on her face, the blade of the sword was resting on her neck, and the cold air emanating from it made the girl freeze in place.
¡°Lu, Miss Lu Yuewu¡ª¡ª¡± She almost cried.
"Nianta, what are you doing?" the alchemist said loudly. "What the hell."
"me¡¡"
"It's okay," Lu Yuewu put away her weapon and held her back, "Come in quickly."
The door was closed. Nianta looked at the messy table and lowered her head, "Mr. Leo, yes, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were-"
Leo waved his hands vigorously, "I don't want to hear your apology, it's useless." He interrupted her, "Tell me, what do you want to tell us?" After calming down, he realized that Yinianta With her well-behaved personality now, she won't disturb them when nothing happens. She is quiet, very different from the screaming and laughing Night Witch.
Nianta was fidgeting in her chair, looking as if she had something to hide. Leo made up his mind to stop thinking about the overturned cup and the useless reagent that was thrown on the table. He really should have chosen another time. He sat down opposite Nianta, and just as he was about to touch the itchy wound, Rosie slapped his right hand off. He smiled bitterly and spoke:
"Tell me," he said, making his tone sound gentler, "Nianta, we are all here, tell me, what happened? You are so nervous. Relax, I won't let anyone hurt you. you."
The panic on her face remained, and it was difficult for Leo to determine where her fear came from.
"I" Nianta closed her mouth again. It seemed like even the mention of it made her feel threatened by death.
Lu Yuewu walked up and held her hand, "Nianta, don't be afraid, we are here." She comforted softly, "Tell us, what happened? Take your time" She patted her gently. Nianta's back, "bit by bit."
The sunlight outside the window was as dazzling as a fire, and there was a bucket of ice cubes piled in the corner of the room, but the alchemist could not feel the slightest chill. Sweat came out of every pore, as if he had been thrown into a pool, and his whole body was unbearably damp and hot. He took a sip of ice water and breathed out uncomfortably. There was a faint pain in his left hand, and it was itching, which made him even more irritable. He felt that his patience was almost exhausted and there was no trace left.
Fortunately, Nianta lowered her head and hesitated for a while, and finally spoke. Although somewhat hesitant. "Prince Barton," just hearing this name, Leo could already guess what problem she had encountered. "He" It was difficult for her to tell at first. Lu Yuewu comforted her again and again before she continued intermittently, "He said he wanted to marry me."
¡°Oh, he had already guessed that this would be the case. Leo was not surprised.
She raised her eyes, glistening with tears, and looked at the alchemist pitifully and begging like a puppy. "What should I do?" Nianta asked with a cry, "I hate him, Mr. Leo. He is like a fat pig, and I can't stand it. He also said that I can't refuse, otherwise, otherwise "
"What else?"
¡°If I don¡¯t agree, he said, he will kill you, you¡ª¡±
"Kill us?" Rosie sneered disdainfully, "I can let him die now."
Lu Yuewu raised his eyes and looked at her, "Do you want to become bald?"
"Damn it, shut up."
The alchemist did not join the cynicism. He just sneered in his heart: Aha, this seems like the method the other party would adopt. Once the weaknesses are identified, the threats are also presentable. But that will never come true. At least, none of them would just watch it come true. He tried to comfort the other person and reassure her. However, Leo looked at the girl with crystal clear tears on her face and found it difficult to explain to her what Prince Barton's purpose was. It was difficult for him to say that the other party married her for her heir status. Although the river land was deserted, just swamps and mangroves, filled with crocodiles and mosquitoes.
Even the joke could not alleviate Nianta's panic. She looked scared and panicked, "I, I don't know what to do."
What else can be done. "Since you can't refuse, then agree obediently."
Nianta suddenly stood up, like an abandoned chick, with a crying face full of pleading. "But, but" "Leo." Lu Yuewu called him in a low voice, but hesitated to speak.
But he has his own plans. "Promise does not mean resignation." He said softly, "But, at least for now, this is all we can do."?There is no other way. Just because rejection is impossible. "
"No, I don't want it." Nianta shook her head and refused. "I will never marry him!"
"Nianta, listen to me." Leo pressed her shoulder and said patiently, "You will not marry her¡ª¡ª"
"I don't hear what you mean." Rosie interrupted him in annoyance, "Stop talking about so much roundabout nonsense. Tell us straightforwardly and clearly, what exactly do you want to do?"
Leo took a deep breath and scanned them one by one. "Some of you will definitely object and glare at me -"
Luo Qian snorted, glanced at Lu Yuewu, and chuckled, "No, I promise." She said with a smile, which made Leo confused and doubtful. "Say it, she will agree with your decision."
Although Lu Yuewu turned her head and said nothing, the alchemist didn't believe it was that simple. Could it be "What did you say?"
"That's a secret." Rosie chuckled and said, "You don't have to know. Just tell us what you are planning. Nianta is already exhausted and can't wait any longer."
The alchemist speaks the motto of the desert warrior. "Patience, and waiting. And then¡ª" he looked into Nianta's panicked eyes, "get the keystone ready, Rosie. And then, Nianta, I will lift you from the curse once again¡ª"
"Leo!" "You're crazy!"
Leo ignored their shouting, "Nianta, if you believe me."
¡î
"I think we should talk, Alchemist."
There was a red candle burning in the small room, burning like a flame. It illuminated the body of the woman in front of him, but cast a longer and narrower black shadow. She stood with her back to the candlelight, so her appearance was unclear. What's more, she was still dragging her floor-length black robe, and her face was covered with a black gauze that couldn't let her eyes see through.
Leo found a more comfortable position on the chair. He raised his head and glanced at the woman hidden in the shadows. Her eyes were as calm as water, and her bright golden pupils were filled with magical aura, making people afraid to look directly into them. Leo felt that there was an indescribable temptation in her eyes, and this temptation made him uneasy and irritable. He lowered his gaze almost subconsciously, avoiding the bright golden color, and looked at the oil painting in the room that was made by someone unknown.
The alchemist sighed, "I think so too." He said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time, waiting for your call, magician."
"Yeah?"
The alchemist smiled and did not answer. Although the hint given by the female magician to him at the banquet that night was subtle, it was easy to guess. He will not be fooled by the other party's feigned ignorance.
"Okay." The female magician shrugged and sat down on another chair in the room. The position was by the window, offering a panoramic view of the night scenery of Schillis County. She crossed one of her legs, and the slit robe slipped off her legs, revealing a pair of flawless, slender legs that were as beautiful as jade. She changed positions, switching legs. But doesn't she think such a trick is too clumsy for her? But since there is beautiful scenery to enjoy, Leo will not miss it. Give the other person a little bit of self-righteousness, right?
"Is this the first time we've met?" She seemed to be satisfied with Leo's reaction, her tone suddenly became playful, "The first time, the second time, or more?"
The alchemist shrank his pupils. Does she know? The female magician squinted her eyes, a smile appearing in the corners of her eyes. Leo knew the answer. "Don't you already know?"
"Guessing is not the same as being certain."
¡°Hazyness is a special kind of beauty.¡±
The female magician leaned forward, "Are you saying that I never show my true face to others, alchemist?"
"Of course not." Leo said, "Everyone has his own habits and hobbies, and we can't ask others to follow our own hobbies and opinions. Isn't there a saying that says this? 'The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. .¡¯ I don¡¯t want to be disappointed.¡±
The female magician chuckled lightly, "Everyone says that alchemists are rigid. But you are not." The alchemist said nothing. "You are more lovable than them all. No wonder the girlfriends around you love you."
Is she threatening? He couldn't figure it out. "So I care about them."
"Huh huh." The female magician snorted meaninglessly. She changed her posture on the chair, and her golden eyes seemed to meet his eyes lightly and deliberately, conveying some kind of invitation message to him. The alchemist found it difficult to guess what the other party's purpose was. The moon climbed over the spire of the castle. It was already dark and he didn't want to waste time.
"Let us?Go on. "Leo Ou broke the sudden silence and said, "Female Magician, I don't know your name, but it doesn't matter, because sometimes my patience is not enough. Tell me, tell me what you really want, so much so that you invite us late at night and have a secret meeting in a dusty attic like an affair? "
"Private meeting?" The female magician covered her mouth and chuckled, "I love this word. It's quite vivid, isn't it?"
"Except for candlelight, there is neither red wine nor soft beds here. The air is full of dusty musty smell, and I can't bring up the slightest interest. What's more," Leo said with a straight face, "I'm hungry." , my stomach is growling, female magician."
Although he averted his gaze in time, he could still feel the female magician's gaze lingering on him for a long time. Her gaze was magical and made his body burn. "We'll have it soon, don't worry," she said.
There seemed to be thousands of meanings in her words.
The alchemist heard the magic buzzing in his ears like a swarm of bees, and lit up his poisonous sting. "The needle behind the wasp's tail is the most poisonous to a woman's heart." He thought of this proverb and couldn't help but be more cautious.
"But I can't wait any longer."
The female magician laughed, her voice suddenly becoming sharp. Magic surged into the room. The dust accumulated on the ceiling fell, and a spider was shaken down and landed in front of Leo's eyes.
"I think you don't want to hear it, let alone agree."
Talking to her was like talking to Lu Yuewu, but the other person had an aggressive air, as if she had a winning ticket and could play with him at will. He hated it so much. "Unclear words." The alchemist said dryly, "I don't know anything unless you tell me. The so-called transaction cannot be solved sleepily. We must be clear about it."
The female magician¡¯s eyes stared at him, and Leo looked at her without flinching. Escape now meant his surrender. He seemed to hear the other party sneer. "Marriage," she said. The veil lifted.
She was laughing, the alchemist realized, laughing silently.
"Prince and Nianta? I understand." The alchemist responded calmly. "I agree to this marriage."
"That guy?" the female magician sneered, "a piece of river land? Only a stupid idiot would be interested in mud and mosquitoes, and the false name of a king."
The alchemist suddenly wanted to smile evilly, but he held back.
"It's not them. Who is that?"
The female magician¡¯s eyes narrowed with a smile. She raised her hand and pointed at the alchemist with her delicate jade fingers, "You."
"I?"
The other party nodded and said clearly, "You and me."
Leo suddenly stood up from his chair. Did I hear that correctly? "What a joke!" - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
