I dug the saree out from under the thick quilt.
When I pushed her down beside the solid wood table and faced Azarus, she still looked confused, "What are you doing? How come you are together? In the middle of the night?!"
Lazarus placed the open book in front of her and told her the things carefully. Those things made her want to pop her eyes out.
"...So, you want me to make a potion?" She opened her mouth in surprise.
"We can only rely on you." Lazarus said,
"...Wild grape vine potion? I've never heard of it!" She frowned and quickly turned through the yellowing pages of the book. The further back she got, the more anxious she became, "No, I can't do it! I can't do it!" How can you do this without even having a junior pharmacist qualification certificate? Do you really think that making potions is like making bean soup?!"
"Stop complaining!" I grabbed her wrist angrily and dragged her back, "You'd better hurry up!"
"Oh! Wild girl! Let me go! You hurt me!"
"If you don't save him, you will be an accomplice of the murderer!"
"Accomplice?! What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Oh! Miss Messiah, please calm down," Lazarus said with a toothache on his face as he helped Sari break free from my hands. "Miss Sari," he turned to Sari again and told her seriously. She said, "Young Master Mograine is really in danger. You are so kind and smart. Please help him."
While rubbing her wrists, Sari glared at me hatefully, and then looked back at the motionless Dalien in confusion, "Of course I am willing to help Young Master Mograine, he is my friend. But... She looked at Lazarus in embarrassment, "But you have to know that we don't have a decent alchemy platform, and I don't know magic. How do you want me to separate magic elements? Or pour them into potions." ? Look at the illustrations in the book, here, here, and here, all require the use of magic. Holy Light, this is not an ordinary potion at all! This is a bottle of extremely complex magic potion!" As she said this, she collapsed a little , slamming the book shut, "I'm willing to help Mograine, but I can't do this at all!"
"I can do those things for you, Miss Sari." Lazarus opened the book for her again and held her hand firmly. "I can separate elements and fuse elements. You just need to follow Add them in as appropriate.”
Sari wrinkled her face, "This is not simple, Mr. Lazarus, you see, this potion involves the magic element flame, and all potions involving the magic element flame are very dangerous. If you don't get it right, it will destroy the people here." The roof exploded."
"If you do it, you will succeed. You see, I have rare wild vines here, trophies taken from the jungle trolls."
Those deep blue eyes flickered under the magic light. After a while, Sari suddenly raised her hand to pull up her hanging hair, "I can only give it a try."
*
It turns out that there are so many things hidden in the sari’s personal luggage.
Hair-like herbs, colorful dried flowers, and all kinds of strange particles.
Seeing me sitting next to her and staring at her for a moment, she arranged a row of various bottles in a show off manner.
Her fingertips hesitated on the dusty lead bottle, and finally, she gritted her teeth and picked up the crystal bottle that shone brightest under the magic light.
Taking a deep breath, she pressed her thumb on the oak cork and opened it with a bang, "Okay, let me see what to do... First, we need a purple lotus powder..."
She picked a black dried flower and crushed it carefully, but just halfway through, she suddenly frowned, wrapped them in pieces of paper and threw them aside.
"...Oh God..." She covered her face, "I can't do it..."
"Miss Sari," Lazarusman gently pulled away her fingers, his hopeful eyes shining in the light, "You can do it."
"...That's not a purple lotus at all..." Sari started crying.
"Then let's find the purple lotus first. I remember I saw this kind of flower in Dohar, Xi'an. Its color is very elegant, and its petals are prosperous... Is it this one? Or this one? Oh, are they all different? They all look the same..."
Sari shook her head depressedly, and after rummaging for a long time, she picked up another dried flower, "...This one is...Mr. Lazarus, now, please help me put half an equivalent of sapphire powder Put them in this bottle and let them melt, remember not to make the temperature too high or the bottle will explode."
"Oh, yes."
The heat wave boiled, and the six-pointed star composed of holy light slowly lifted the crystal bottle into the air.
Gululu--
The blue powder inside turned into liquid in an instant, and began to roll and roll, steaming out steam. They became thicker and thicker, and in the end, they were like a ball of sticky blue yogurt.
"This is a scroll of magic water element, Lazarus," Sari turned out another thin piece of leather paper, "You have to separate a unit of amount from it... You can do it, right? ?”
The knight nodded, "I can," he closed his eyes slightly and muttered something silently. The next second, a string of water drops like the purest crystal slowly floated from the scroll, and then With the support of the golden holy light, it flew into the crystal bottle. In an instant, the thick "yoghurt" melted into an extremely clear blue liquid.
After a pause, Sari slowly sprinkled the purple lotus powder into the bottle. At that moment, I actually saw a bright light like a diamond in the bottle!
The liquid in the bottle becomes beautiful, turns into colorful colors, and flows slowly around the crystal bottle!
Obviously, the bright color was beyond Sari's expectation. She couldn't help but exclaimed. If Lazarus hadn't put the rune of silence on the door, everyone in the entire manor would have been shouted at by her. Come.
"Is something wrong?!" I asked nervously.
"How do I know?!" Sari was also very nervous, "Don't stop, Mr. Lazarus, let me see what to do next..." She turned the pages of the book hurriedly, but the records in the book made her His face was twisted, "Maintain the temperature until the medicinal powder and solvent are completely integrated... What does complete integration look like?! Oh my god!"
Her words made my heart beat wildly. I knew that this fool was unreliable at all!
But... but besides her, who else can I rely on now? !
I can't just watch Dallion become a fool, this is absolutely not allowed!
Fortunately, in the next second, she seemed to think of something, and slammed the hand holding her hair on the solid wood table, "I remembered... I remember Teacher Hercula mentioned that the purple lotus is not very useful. , but it is easy to recognize..." As she said that, her eyes lit up, "Mr. Lazarus, please maintain this state until the liquid inside turns blood red!"
"Is it blood red?" Lazarus tilted his head and looked at the bottle, "I will always pay attention to it."
“It’s a long process and you just have to hang in there.”
"It won't cost too much magic power...well...don't worry, I still have a few bottles of magic potion."
"Well, now, let me deal with the wild grapevine. Let me see... We need the tenderest part in the middle and cut it into thin strands. It is the needle and thread to repair the wound."
"Miss Sari, you must be careful, the vines are full of tiny poisonous thorns."
Hearing this, Sari raised the thick white leather gloves in her hands.
*
It turns out that besides combing hair, sewing, and making people unhappy, saris can also do other things, and moreover, they are things I am not good at.
Her hands may not be as powerful as mine, but they are very stable.
Her fingers didn't even tremble as she held the sharp blade.
With a single stroke, she neatly removed the fine stings by their roots, and then she began to deal with the clinging vine skins.
"You must be careful, the juice is highly poisonous." Lazarus reminded him again and again, the worry on his face was unbearable.
"...There are wild grapes behind my mountain, but I've never heard of them being poisonous." I muttered.
"This kind of wild sugar vine comes from the jungle troll's cemetery, Miss Messiah. Those monsters will dump all kinds of strange things there. It is a highly poisonous place."
After making a gesture, Sari carefully inserted the tip of the knife into it.
In order to peel off the dry layer, her bright pupils almost grew like grape vines.
*
"I still don't understand why the young master's soul was hurt?" Unexpectedly, she stopped the knife in her hand and said.
"At this time, you are still thinking about other things?!"
"I have to say something else, otherwise, I feel flustered!"
"Can't you just concentrate?!"
"Oh! Tell me about other things, otherwise, I really can't concentrate!"
"I don't know why he was injured," I replied in a low voice after a moment of silence. I couldn't help but look at the boy who was still unconscious on the bed. "I guess it was in that canyon. It was in Aize. At Lars's wound, those black robes summoned a lot of disgusting black skeletons, and they have been eating something on Dallion's body. Could he have been injured at that time?"
"No, Miss Messiah." Lazarus shook his head and denied, "Master Khadgar said that the black skeletons are just a manifestation of the power of shadow, and what they swallow is the protection of the Holy Light... Hmm …Similar to…luck.”
luck?
I couldn't help but look at Sari, and I guessed that she and I were thinking about the same thing.
For example...Dallion would step into a mud pit full of horse manure.
"...I have a guess about Young Master Mograine's injury." I heard Lazarus continue.
"What?"
"I have read your memory about the dark wizard, Miss Messiah. In it, I saw that the wizard controlled the young master's mind and wanted to let the young master kill you. However, the young master tried his best to resist. Maybe, he is Injuries sustained at that time.”
"Resisting spiritual magic...will harm the soul?"
"Mind control magic is a very powerful magic. Everyone wants to resist, but no one can resist. However, the young master successfully summoned... uh... a certain heroic spirit to protect you. Do you understand what I mean? ?”
"Of course I understand!" Sari used tweezers to put the long vine filaments into the round-bottomed flask and picked out a thin scroll. "You mean Mograine is tough?" Will, isn’t it? Hey! Messiah!”
"……Um?"
"Agamand is just romantic. This time, I want to stand with Mograine!"
oh! I couldn't help but glare at her, "Why are you standing in such a messy line?!"
"Don't you understand? I say, I support you and Mograine!"
"Oh! Ilusha taught you to be like this?! You all deserve to be whipped!"
"You really don't know what's good and what's good! Besides, didn't father's whip already make it clear who is worse?!"
"Oh! Two distinguished ladies, please stop bickering." Lazarus interrupted with a headache. If he didn't have to guard the crystal bottle, he would have rubbed his forehead. "Miss Messiah, you must let Miss Sari is concentrating on those wild grapevines, which are the only ones we have."
Sari raised her eyebrows in victory at me, "Mr. Lazarus, now, I need you to use half the equivalent of magical elemental flames to roast these wild grapevines until they turn into deep purple powder. Oh, you Be careful, only use magical elemental flames to roast them, never use holy light, otherwise, they will be burned to ashes."
"……OK."
A bright red fire lit up.
*
I turned my head away.
As far as the eye could see, there was Dallion.
He pressed his dry lips tightly and lay quietly in the slightly swaying light.
Somehow, that painful sleeping face made me feel a...a complex emotion.
I really can't get used to him being so weak and unable to respond...
He should be like a heavy war hammer, like a solid wall, like the blazing sun above Azeroth.
I couldn't help but clasp my hands and pray to the Holy Light. I am willing to give him all my luck. Please let him recover...
But the Holy Light didn't give me any response as always. The dead silence was really depressing, "...Lazarus..."
"I'm here, Miss Messiah."
"When will he wake up?"
"I think we should give him some sleeping potion to keep him asleep, so at least it won't be too painful."
That sentence made my heart skip a beat and kept him asleep? No more talking? No more smiling? No more hunting with me?
The scene in my mind made me want to cry a little bit, "...But, he was always fine before."
"The wound was always there, it was just an opportunity that opened it."
"It's all Devlin's fault!"
*
"Now, I'm going to sprinkle the wild grape vine powder into the crystal bottle." Unexpectedly, Sari interrupted us. She frowned and lightly scratched the tome with her nails, "Lazar Mr. Ruth, you must keep the crystal bottle shaking, because this will generate a lot of heat."
The knight swallowed and nodded.
*
There is nothing wrong in the book.
When the purple wild grapevine powder came into contact with the contents of the bottle, the color of the liquid suddenly changed to orange, and the next second, the entire crystal bottle began to boil!
oh!
Gululu--
Fine water bubbles rise from the bottom of the bottle, like masses of lava beating unwillingly in a volcano, always ready to erupt!
Lazarus immediately straightened his arms and began to shake the crystal bottle.
However, the heat in the bottle only increased, and soon the liquid inside burned brightly!
The light is getting more and more dazzling and solid!
The blisters are getting bigger and bigger, more and more!
rise!
rupture!
Magnificent heat waves rolled in, making my face stiff. If this thing explodes, it can blow Lazarus to pieces!
Puff puff--
The rising and sinking liquid turned into an upright vortex, and the whole bottle banged under the impact of the vortex!
At that moment, the liquid turned bright red!
"Mr. Lazarus!" Sari couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Don't come here! Don't come here!" Lazarus shook the crystal bottle and jumped into the corner.
puff--
The bright red liquid broke free from the whirlpool and rushed out of the bottle. In an instant, hot water splashed!
It was visible to the naked eye that Lazarus' fingers were burned, but he still held the crystal bottle steadily and kept shaking it.
However, this so-called shaking is of no use at all to dissipate heat. It actually makes the liquid in the bottle vibrate even more violently! The huge water bubble seemed not satisfied with the thin body of the crystal bottle at all, and desperately wanted a wider space!
Puff puff--
More and more liquid spurts out!
Every time, a white mushroom cloud half a person's height will be formed in the air!
boom--
There was a loud bang.
This time, the mushroom cloud has a faint red color! It instantly turns the crystal bottle red and shiny!
Oh my God! Where is the crystal bottle? It is simply a rising little sun!
Lazarus snorted, immediately recited a mantra silently, and separated the scorching bottle with a thick layer of holy light.
"Don't let the bottle get so hot! It will explode!" Sari yelled.
The knight gritted his teeth, and the thick holy light slowly thinned, wrapping around the entire crystal bottle like a layer of vague clouds.
The violent liquid finally found a target for venting. Like a steel needle, it pierced out from the faint layer of clouds, piercing the high ceiling and leaving a deep circle there. Hole!
The scorching heat rushed to my face and made my hair stand on end!
Subconsciously, I ripped off the thick quilt from Dallion's body.
Chirp--
At that moment, the crystal bottle suddenly emitted a series of eardrum-piercing chirps! The chirping became sharper and faster, and the liquid inside boiled to its peak!
It's going to explode!
That was the only thought in my mind at that moment!
I jumped in front of Lazarus in a few steps, snatched the crystal bottle from his hand, and in the next second, stuffed it deeply into the quilt, and held the quilt tightly in my arms!
"Messiah!"
"Miss Messiah!" I heard Lazarus and the others exclaim.
At that moment, just when I thought an explosion was going to happen, everything came to a screeching halt!
Nothing happened.
*
The bottle of bright red liquid turned into a bottomless deep blue.
When Lazarus took it out from the quilt and placed it on the solid wood table, we couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"...Succeeded?" After a moment of silence, I asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Sari stared at the bottle warily, "But the book says that the finished product is dark blue."
Lazarus sniffed, "...It seems to have a sour smell?"
"Yes, the finished product should have a sour taste!" Sally clenched her fists, carefully walked forward, picked up the crystal bottle, and examined it nervously, "I think I should have succeeded."
Her look as if she was facing a formidable enemy made me feel bad, and I suddenly shouted, "Bang!" She was so frightened that she almost threw out the things in her hands.
"Are you sick?" she shouted angrily.
I took the potion, paused, and took a sip.
There is a sweet and sour taste in the mouth.
However, the next second, the sourness turned into a refreshing coolness that hit every cell in my body, making my mind clearer.
What can make people feel so comfortable shouldn't be poison, right?
Turning around, I poured them all into Dallion's mouth.
Or maybe it's a psychological effect, I think his brows relaxed a little.
"…This potion will make him better, right? Lazarus?"
"It will slowly repair Young Master Mograine's soul...at least, it won't get any worse." The knight said softly.
For a long time, we all breathed a sigh of relief.
I looked at Sari gratefully, but I couldn't express my gratitude.
She raised her chin at me arrogantly, triumphantly, "You saved me, and I helped you, and we're done!"
I pursed my lips, but I didn't know if I could hide the smile.
"Don't just sit there stupidly, come here and help me pack the herbs! Be careful with your movements!"
*
call--
At that moment, a cool evening breeze suddenly blew over, causing the gauze curtain beside the bed to dance.
I couldn't help but look over.
Um?
Why is the window open?
Outside the window, there is a sky full of silver stars, but what is that huge black shadow floating in the air? !
The gauze curtain gently floated down, and the bright magic light illuminated its face in full view!
right!
that's it!
It is a monster with green skin and a hideous face!
Its back was hunched, the hair flying around on its head was like withered grass, and the two long fangs protruding from the corners of its mouth were like spears!
This is... this is a troll, right? !
At this moment, this monster is staring at us with bright eyes, sharp and dangerous. In its curved claws, there is a mass of substantial shadow energy that is ready to move!
Before I could react, he ended the curse he was mumbling and threw the terrifying energy in his hand towards us!
"Be careful!" I couldn't help but scream, but the shout was instantly buried by the explosion!
Rumble--
This time, it was a real explosion!
The fierce strong wind shattered the window frame, flying me, Sari, Lazarus, and the broken solid wood table to the wall behind!
"ah--!"
"oh!!!"
The world turned upside down before my eyes, and then I felt the back of my head hit the wall hard.
At that moment, three shadows appeared in my field of vision. In the shaking world, I saw the monster flying in through the open window on the dark purple shadow flames that filled the room. Then, he grabbed Dallion and turned around. Rushed into the dark night again!
Darien…
There was darkness before my eyes.
