Seeing Alfred like this, Ella suddenly said angrily: "Alfred! Is your brain burned out along with your body? Are you so confident in leaving England to me?"
"Do you still remember how you answered me a few years ago when I asked you why you didn't fight for the throne of the King of Heroes?"
Alfred couldn't support his body, so he slowly lay back on the stretcher, and his eyes slowly closed. But he still persisted and finished the following sentence:
"King of Sweden, you are not a qualified politician yet. Compared with the king, you are more like a hero... a hero recorded in epics and adventure stories. Although it is a bit ridiculous in the eyes of some people, you are also affected by many people. The admiration of people. And I am the kind of person who likes heroes. King of Sweden, no...Scipio, I say it again, England is under your protection."
"Hero... I can't even control an elf-level Izkoatl right now, so what kind of hero am I?"
Ella dropped her head, her shoulders shaking.
Alfred couldn't help but sigh in his throat: "Scipio..."
"However, Alfred, I promise you, three days at most. After three days, I will definitely be able to solve this incident."
Ella raised her head, with light in her eyes.
"That's really amazing growth."
Alfred grinned his darkened lips and smiled happily.
But Ella couldn't laugh.
As far as a country is concerned, Izcoatl alone is far from a threat. As long as the English troops are transferred back from Scotland or thousands more reinforcements are brought in from Sweden, Izcoatl will be unable to escape under the siege of tens of thousands of troops.
But it takes time, a lot of time. Paracelsus, whom Ella had written to summon a long time ago, had not yet arrived in England, let alone mobilized troops from Scotland and Sweden.
—— Quetzalcoatl.
To quickly resolve this incident, this is a breakthrough that cannot be ignored. But as Bjorn said, Quetzalcoatl's appearance is nothing like the snake in Ella's Crowbar.
The reason why I say three days is because Ella is already laying out a plan. But on the most critical step, she still lacked the confidence to win.
"Disciple!"
Dast's voice came softly, and Ella looked around a few times but couldn't find anyone, until a man dressed as a servant unknowingly came to her side and whispered: "I heard about the rebellion in England. I'm going to send you to the guillotine, so I jumped out of bed right away! Come on, I'll take you to sneak out of the city..."
"Master, you have been drunk for a long time this time." Ella's words contained a hint of blame, "The matter has already passed, and you just came here?"
"Huh? Has it been solved?" Dast touched his head, "That's good, that's good."
Looking at Daxter who was disguised as a manservant, Ella suddenly had doubts in her mind:
"Master, you often disguise yourself like this and sneak in, how come you are not discovered? There are so many images, how come you can imitate them exactly the same every time?"
Dast rolled his eyes: "Exactly the same? What nonsense are you talking about? If they are exactly the same, wouldn't they be the same person? If you keep thinking about acting exactly the same, sooner or later you will be exposed!"
"why?"
"Whether it is genuine or not, and what the difference is, the person who knows best is never others, but you. If you keep thinking about the difference, you will be afraid of taking action. If you are afraid, you will be suspicious. If you are suspicious, you will be investigated and be investigated. Investigation will reveal flaws.”
"But there is something really different. What if others see it?"
"Most of the time it's invisible. No one can say that they completely understand another person..."
"But what if the gap is really big? Just like the gap between gold and silver, everyone can see it..."
Daxter almost jumped up: "Huh? The gap is so big, so why sneak in? Just hide away. If you can't solve it, why can't you run away?"
Ella smiled bitterly: "That's right."
However, Dast can run, but she can never run away - because there are thousands of people hiding behind the king.
"But then again, I have seen the alchemical formula for turning silver into gold in the Qiqiu Empire." Ella said, "Unfortunately, it just coats the surface of silver with a layer of sulfur, and the silver is still silver. Ordinary It’s invisible to humans, but people familiar with alchemy can quickly detect it..."
Ella suddenly froze on the spot.
"Only those familiar with alchemy can detect it...Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"
"No, what did you think of?" Dast was confused.
"It's too late. Master, go to the dungeon and pull out a Kechar bird feather from Tesosomok. I'm going to find Dan now!"
Ella picked up the crowbar and hurried toward Dan's house. Dast was left dazed behind: "Kechar Bird Feather...what is it again?"
Ella trotted to the door of Dan's house. Before she entered, she heard a little girl's voice coming from inside:
"Ah! Dan! You spilled the big breast powder that I finally finished!"
Then there was Dan's angry roar: "What big breast powder? This is my alchemy laboratory! Children, go play somewhere else!"
The door was opened, and Dan walked out with a dark face, carrying a little silver-haired girl about seven or eight years old, and threw her into the garbage pile nearby. After doing this, he saw Ella and said hurriedly:
"King of Sweden, why are you here...I have been controlling Sulfa! It's all this little guy's fault for coming in and causing trouble!"
"What little guy! I'm a genius alchemist, Ravi!" The little girl crawled out of the garbage heap, "Dan, just wait for me! You spilled my big breast powder, sooner or later I will get rid of it. You pay the price!"
Dan glared at her fiercely, and the little girl shrank her head in fear and ran away. So Dan put on a smile and explained to Ella: "The neighbor's children come to my alchemy laboratory to play every day."
"I see." Ella watched the little girl leave, then turned around and said, "By the way, Dan, how is your sulfonamide production going?"
"I failed several times according to the recipe, but recently I was finally able to make the finished product." Dan said, "But I only have one person here, and the output is really a bit..."
"Pause the production of sulfa first. Dan, let me show you something."
Ella solemnly held out the crowbar in her hand and motioned for Dan to take it. Dan stood stunned. He has long heard that the King of Sweden carries a crowbar close to his body. It is not only priceless, but also symbolizes great authority like a scepter. Seeing the crowbar is like seeing the King of Sweden. Ella suddenly handed this thing to him, how could he dare to accept it?
"King of Sweden, what are you...?"
"Take it," Ella ordered, "and tell me, what did you find?"
Dan carefully reached out his hand and tentatively touched the crowbar. At that moment, he realized something, snatched the crowbar away, and looked at it carefully. There was a snake coiled on the crowbar. When he touched the snake, his hands began to shake:
"Is this... is this... is this...?"
"What is it?"
"Great power...a near-perfect alchemical masterpiece! King of Sweden, is this your work?"
Ella shook her head.
"So, I guess..." Dan looked at Ella to confirm, "It's Jabir Ibn Hayan?"
