"The concept of 'potion' in your mouth is different from the concept of 'potion' in the alchemist's mouth."
In the trial venue below Tania's central square, the clear voice from the chatter echoed in the cold winter wind. At this time, the whole court's attention was drawn to her who was speaking, and along with her. The figure standing in front of the Free City delegation looked a bit more solemn and solemn: "The potions that we often see on the market and that normal people recognize are mostly healing potions and magic recovery potions. , magic dispelling potions and resistance potions, although they can also be called 'potions, they are too common for alchemists."
"The potion in the hands of the alchemist is the crystallization of the alchemist's countless theories and experiments." She looked around the venue, seeming to be satisfied with the feeling of being in the spotlight: "The materials they use to make potions are all kinds of weird. , the effects of the potions produced are also all kinds of strange, and the effects achieved by the alchemy potions in the hands of alchemists can often be specialized to a jaw-dropping degree."
"Ms. Whispering, do you mean that alchemical potions are omnipotent?" A member of the Principality standing behind Pamir sneered: "What does this have to do with the case we are discussing now?"
"Her Royal Highness Princess Rena has pointed out the crux of the problem to everyone here before. You, who are also elites in the principality, can't you not hear the meaning of this?" She reached out and brushed the blue long hair flying around her temples. He responded to the other party's unreasonable and stupid questions with contemptuous eyes: "Those effects that cannot be achieved by magical magic and mind control skills may be achieved through the effects of alchemy potions. Come and achieve it.”
"Thank you very much for the explanation from the representative of Liberty City."
When the congressman suppressed his blush and was speechless for a moment, Princess Reina, who reached out to clap her hands, then turned her body gracefully: "Your explanation is concise and wonderful, but - I remember that you are not an alchemist. Not the professional I know him to be."
"I'm sorry, my dear Princess." He stroked his chest and saluted to the imperial delegation diagonally across the way, and Wuyu Liushang showed an elegant and charming smile: "I know who you are referring to, but he is... Well, I'm busy in another place and don't have time to attend this meeting, so I can only explain it on my behalf."
"We can really rest assured about the relationship between the lady and that person based on the whispers." Duan Fenglei, who was directly opposite him, also let out a low laugh: "But I am more concerned about the unscrupulous man: he ran away again Where have you been fooling around?"
"I like the word 'fooling around' very much, which is represented by Duan Feng Lei." Whispering words covered his mouth and let out a few low laughs: "Well, I can contact him on the spot and let us hear if he can come."
He stretched out his hand and took out a dark magic stone. He whispered in front of everyone and unfolded the stone in the center of the palms covered with gauntlets. The surface of the magic stone carved with complex magic patterns then lit up with a purple glow, and in the middle It seemed as if there were really ghostly ghost winds whistling: "Spiritual body... just now..."
"Hello? Hello?" He pouted his mouth helplessly and murmured, so he could only speak out to the Philosopher's Stone: "Can you hear me? It's your turn, can you come over?"
"Sorry, I'm a little busy now." Then Duan Qing's voice came from the stone, but this voice seemed a bit blurry and difficult to distinguish in the howling of the cold wind: "As we agreed before, you can help replace Let me explain."
"...That's it." After extinguishing the purple glow on the surface of the Magic Stone, Xiu Yu Liushang shrugged his shoulders at the others present: "You should have heard it, so——"
"To put it simply, my companions and I discovered some interesting alchemical results in our previous magic research."
He put away the dark magic stone in his hand, put away his sighing voice, and then raised his heroic voice over the venue again: "Because of the 'alchemy' I just said
uot; characteristics, the alchemical potions made by alchemists will have many incredible magical effects. My... er, companion, he discovered an alchemical potion in a past experiment that can make people who take it produce Some kind of mental hallucinogenic reaction. "
"Of course, this is not an ordinary hallucinogenic effect, but a hallucinogenic effect with a specific direction." Specially emphasizing several keywords in the description, the whisperer announced his "results" around the venue: "Taken People will gradually lose their five senses and become a vegetative state that completely loses contact with the outside world. At the cost of this, the user's mental power will be expanded to the limit, and he will use his spirit to touch the existence of the surrounding life forms. , you can even completely see what those living beings are experiencing."
"Vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell - this kind of completely substitute experience is rare." Speaking of this, a mysterious smile appeared on the face of Xiuyu Liushang, and his raised fingers seemed to be charming. The magic touches the hearts of everyone who listens: "My alchemist expert named this potion 'Sensory Hunting Potion--yep, it is obviously just a specialized self-sealing potion, and the effect is not very practical. I have to put so much effort into the name..."
"I understand. Thank you for the explanation, Ms. Whispering." Interrupting the blue-haired Valkyrie's frowning and mumbling, Ferriston, who was sitting in the center of the venue, raised his eyebrows: "That night was His Royal Highness Prince Chris in that room took this potion——Is this the claim of the Whispering Lady?”
"To be precise, it is the suggestion of Her Royal Highness Princess Rena." Pointing in the direction of the imperial delegation diagonally opposite, Whisper Liushang shook his head nonchalantly: "If Prince Chris takes this medicine, he might In this state of closed senses, he will mistakenly regard what happened at the scene as what happened to him. In this way, his series of reactions afterwards and his attitude at this time will be explained. Already."
"Absurd." A voice of opposition immediately arose within the principality's delegation: "Regardless of whether the 'sensory hunting potion you are talking about really exists, even if it appeared at the crime scene, why can't the person carrying it Is it Chris himself?”
"It is impossible for Prince Chris to take the initiative to take this kind of alchemical potion, unless he is crazy and takes the initiative to drink this kind of thing without knowing the origin and efficacy of this kind of alchemical potion." He picked up his arms. With both arms, he murmured and cast a disdainful look at the opponents: "If he knew that this potion existed, he would be even less likely to drink it, because the person who takes it will fall into a state of loss of five senses, and a person who has lost five senses is Nothing can be done.”
"It can't be Anweina, she is the victim." Blocking the other road in advance, Pamir frowned deeply and said in a low voice: "Including Anweina and I, this is the first time for us today. I’ve heard about this potion, so it’s impossible for her to use it at that time.”
"Consider the situation at the scene. One prince has lost consciousness and five senses, and the other is a victim - Ms. Anweina can't hurt herself, and she can still act out the scene by herself, right?"
As the surroundings of the venue gradually became silent, Xu Yu Liushang began to describe with a confident face: "In addition, it is impossible for these two people to know the existence of this potion... I can guarantee that there must be a third person present, he He is the culprit of this case!"
"An unknown mysterious person poured the potion into Prince Chris, and then acted as the murderer of the atrocity on his behalf. The prince who made the potion work took the initiative to bear the ultimate responsibility - it must be said that this is a very novel method. Explanation idea." Duan Fenglei on the other side supported his chin with both hands and let out a low laugh: "However, based on the existing evidence and testimonies, this explanation idea is simply full of loopholes. Except for the forced explanation of Prince Chris's own description, there are no other explanations. All the testimonials cannot be consistent, such as-" "This third party, how did he sneak into the scene? How did he leave after the incident?" instead of Duanfeng
After Lei said the next words, Princess Rena turned her body slightly: "Do you want to ask such a question?"
"Her Royal Highness Princess Reina and the Frey Empire, do you have such an answer?" Ferriston asked seriously: "Or, do you have any other evidence to prove it?"
"Impossible! This kind of evidence will never appear!" Before Princess Reina could answer, the former police officer took the lead and shouted: "We have already investigated the scene on three floors, inside and outside. Check it out! There is no secret passage! There is no trace of any stranger appearing there! There is no alchemy potion bottle!"
"In the final analysis, this is just a hypothesis that you put forward based on your so-called alchemical knowledge." Pamir, who was sitting at the front, also exhaled and said in a deep voice: "In this way, you forcefully propose the existence of a third person, and In order to help Prince Chris escape his guilt—hum, this is definitely not the truth of the incident.”
"At this stage, we really can't find any clues related to the third person from the existing evidence." From the other side of the venue, the blue-haired woman nodded quietly and withdrew her gaze. Princess Rena then He smiled again and bent his arms: "But we have other ways to prove it."
"That's counter-evidence."
Having said this, she stretched out her slender and elegant arms, pointing everyone's eyes in one direction of the venue: "Are you right, Your Excellency, the leader?"
"..."
Following the instructions of Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Empire, everyone noticed a dark figure walking out of the crowd. Her appearance and face could not be identified as she was covered by a black cloak, but the figure above her head showed However, the ID name was still recognized by the players in the crowd: "Yes, it's Mengzhu!"
"That Mengzhu from the Fool's Adventure Group!"
"After disappearing for so long, she actually came back? And at this time?"
"No need to ask? The news of the trial is known to the whole world. How long will it take if we don't reverse the situation now? She must have some shocking secret in her hands! Otherwise——"
"Otherwise I wouldn't be here, would I?"
As if she heard what was being whispered around, the dark figure walking into the center of the venue said to herself. Her figure and figure, which had become the focus of everyone's attention, were still as petite as when she disappeared three months ago, but... The pace and temperament he walked forward were completely free of the childishness and youthfulness of three months ago. In the blink of an eye, Xu Yuliu, who was sitting on the representative seat, nodded his head at her. The black cloak that was blown up by the cold wind and made a hunting sound finally stopped in the middle of the central square. , which is almost parallel to Chris’s seat: "..."
"You are the leader of the Fool's Adventure Group, Ms. Mengzhu, right?"
He also recognized the identity of the visitor early. Friston, who was holding his glasses, looked at the uninvited guest who had just broken in and stood quietly in front of everyone with a serious and solemn look: "You are here. Are you here to testify?"
"Yes."
The white chin exposed under the black hood moved slightly, which meant that this petite woman officially recognized her identity: "I am the former leader of the Fool Adventure Group, Mengzhu. I heard that there will be a trial today. I'm concerned about it, so I traveled thousands of miles to get here."
"In order to avoid being wanted by the principality and avoid causing more unnecessary troubles, Ms. Mengzhu has been staying in the Wind Continent for a long time in the past. It was only recently that she returned through the teleportation magic circle." Xu Yuliu, who was responsible for the introduction, also followed. The explanation was spread around: "Of course, in order to invite this key witness, we also made many guarantees, the most critical one of which is to ensure the safety of this girl at the scene."
"That's how it should be."
Facing the inquiring glances that followed from the chatterbox, Pamir nodded calmly: "Since Ms. Mengzhu is willing to stand up and testify, the principality will certainly show its sincerity. We guarantee that before the trial is over, We will not let Ms. Mengzhu’s personal safety be endangered in any way.”
"Mr. Pamir must also be very concerned about what testimony Ms. Mengzhu can give in this place, right?" Princess Reina on the other side let out a few meaningful chuckles: "She is the only one who may be at the scene. One of the people, her testimony is likely to determine the direction of the case."
"Ms. Mengzhu must also have such thoughts, otherwise she would not show up at this moment." Felicon interrupted the conversation between the two: "As the chief judge, please allow me to Question: What did you hear when you were guarding the door of Room 512 of Valletta Hospital on the night of March 7? What happened in that room?"
"..."
The whispers around the venue disappeared as the atmosphere gradually settled. Everyone looked at the petite figure in the center of the square. After a while, they heard an extremely slow but firm response from her mouth: "I——"
"Heard nothing."
