Dan scratched his drug-stained, messy hair.
"If there are only three days, it will definitely be too late to adjust the color. We can only try the existing medicines... I will go check the warehouse."
Dan was about to go back to the room to search, but as soon as he stepped through the door, a piece of wood fell from the roof and hit him in front of him. He was startled, and when he looked up, he finally realized that his roof had been lifted off by Baslik. Not only that, the exposed half of the giant snake's body was still twisting and turning, opening up the hole in the roof wider and wider.
"What are you doing? Stop!" Dan roared at Baslik, "leaving half of it can at least block the rain. If you move around, you won't even be able to block the sun! Many reagents in the house cannot see the sun. of!"
I don’t know if Baslik understood it. He lowered his head from high in the sky and stared at Dan with his two gong-sized eyes. His dark tongue trembled rapidly between the sharp fangs and made a blood-curdling sound. .
"Ah...this...actually it's nice not to have a roof. It saves me the trouble of taking the quilt out to dry it. You can continue as you like!"
Dan cautiously took a few steps back, quietly opened the door of the storage room with his hands behind his back, and then ducked into the storage room.
"Amy, she played really big."
Dust was thoughtful as he looked at Baslik who was constantly destroying the roof.
About halfway through the roof, Dan crept out of the room's window with a reagent bottle.
"Come here, don't let Baslik find out!" Dan waved to Ella, "This is it, take it, let Baslik drink it!"
"Is this the potion that turns Baslik green?"
"Turn the feathers green." Dan corrected in a suppressed voice, "My potion only works on the hair, and the scales will still be the original color. If you want the whole body to be green, you have to soak it in a dye vat."
"The scales are not feathers, and turning green doesn't seem to be of any use - ignore that for now, try feeding the medicine and let me see the effect."
"Okay, here - wait a minute, you just said...who is going to feed me?"
Dan looked at Ella fearfully.
"Of course it's you, you're the one who called it out. If it had been anyone else, they might have been attacked by it!"
"I feel like I'm going to be attacked by him too!" Dan was about to burst into tears. "Didn't you see the way it looked at me just now, as if it were a delicious mouse!"
"It's just a close look at the owner. We don't have much time, Dan, give it medicine quickly."
"I refuse!" Dan shouted, "This is too dangerous! Let someone else do it!"
"reject?"
Ella lowered her face and pointed to her brown hair in front of Dan. Not long ago, this hair smelled like barbecue.
Dan suddenly choked up: "This...isn't...I...hey, okay!"
He sighed as if he had resigned himself to his fate. Then, he tried his best to put on a smile and stretched out his trembling hand towards Baslik: "Good boy, little... baby? Come, come to the master..."
Hearing Dan's voice, Baslik swam straight towards Dan. There was a "crash" sound, and the wall between the two people was directly crushed by Basilik's body. A good house suddenly became ventilated from both sides, making Dan's expression distorted as if he had drank some bitter potion.
But this is just the beginning. Baslik circled around Dan's body, and the huge snake body gradually wrapped around Dan's body. The hard scales rubbed against the ground, making a clicking sound.
"King of Sweden! Come and save me!" Dan screamed for help as Baslik was entangled, "I'm going to be pinched to death! I'm going to be pinched to death!"
"What are you afraid of? It's not a python. And I've never seen it hurt the person who called it out!"
If it was as Ella said, Basilik did not continue to tighten his body. It circled around Dan to lower its height, and at the same time used its body to slowly lift Dan up until it was level with its own head.
One person and one snake looked at each other face to face. The snake opened its bloody mouth, and Dan was so frightened that his nose and tears were mixed together.
"Now!" Ella shouted from below, "Pour the potion down his throat!"
"Easier said than done!" Dan cried, "Have you seen these fangs? Basilik's venom can corrode even steel. If I accidentally rub a little bit of it, I will be completely melted without any bones left. of!"
Ella was irritated by Dan's grinding: "This is not a request, this is an order!"
"Order? Okay, okay... Hey, why did I insist on using your hair for experiments in the first place!"
Dan turned his face so that he could not see the two fangs, then used trembling hands to unscrew the cap of the potion and poured it towards Basilik's throat.
With a "click", the bottle containing the potion was bitten into pieces by Baslik.
"Okay! Done!"
"We're done!" Dan cried and complained, "Did it just bite? Did it bite? If it had been a little farther, wouldn't it have bitten my hand?"
Ella silently pointed to her hair again.
Dan didn't dare to complain anymore, he just muttered in a low voice, "I clearly promised not to pursue any further investigation..."
"I'll check the results tomorrow. If you find something wrong with the potion, it's best to adjust it before I find out. I don't want this snake to smell like barbecue."
Ella's tone was full of command, leaving no room for Dan to question. Looking at Ella who turned to leave, Dan scratched his hair irritably: "Is this really the girl I caught?"
The sound of spitting information reached Dan's ears again. When Dan turned his head, he found that Baslik was still staring at him, and his body was being wrapped tighter and tighter.
"Wait a minute, King of Sweden, save me first...!"
"Are we really not going to save him?" Dast kept looking back worriedly.
"Have you ever seen a magician injured by his own magic?"
Ella walked forward quickly without looking back.
"I've never seen that...but King of Sweden, why are you in such a hurry today?"
"There are still many things to prepare, and time is very tight. By the way-"
Ella turned her head back slightly and said to Dust:
"You will stay in the city gate tower tonight. If you see soldiers transporting things, let them in immediately and bring them to me as soon as possible. I won't sleep all night tonight."
From Ella's words, Dast really smelled a sense of urgency. He couldn't help but become serious and asked seriously:
"What is it?"
"I asked Amy to prepare something in advance. It will be delivered probably early tomorrow morning. This is one of the necessary items to capture Izcoatl. By the way, there is one more thing -"
Ella stopped and warned Dust very seriously:
"Never open the lid to see what's inside. If an accident occurs, Paracelsus won't be able to save you."
