Should he say it or not, Hewlett felt aggrieved in his heart.
After all, his father had never hit him, let alone hit him over the head with a teacup? For an adventurer in the Twelve Realms, this naturally caused no real harm, but the psychological harm was great.
It's just that Leonard has been building up his authority for a long time and is the most influential figure in the family, so Hewlett doesn't dare to make any mistakes.
So he just looked away and said nothing.
Leonard's anger was not tempered by his compliance.
In his opinion, Hewlett had really committed a serious crime - if he hadn't let the captain go, how could the witch and the organization behind her have learned such important information?
"Still not convinced? Let me tell you what happened!"
Leonard snorted coldly and told him everything that happened after the witch arrived.
As Hewlett listened, he understood where his father's anger came from, and became even more frightened.
The first reaction is impossible.
He received several stab wounds at that time, and the captain suffered a huge amount of bleeding. In that situation, even a true and kind good man would definitely die! How can a dying man survive if he is thrown into the vast ocean?
The second reaction is still impossible.
When he killed the captain, he was already on his way back, and he was driving an armored ship with extremely fast speed.
Even if the captain is lucky enough to drift along the ocean currents to an island, and then receive timely and effective treatment, and be informed of everything he saw -
How did that witch just arrive at the Sky City before Hewlett?
Hewlett frowned and asked, "Father, this matter is so strange... Could it be that the formula we got was actually provided by the witch just now?"
"Use your brain and think about it! Is this possible? If she has the formula, why bother making things so troublesome? How can we still refuse to cooperate with her when she comes directly to the door with the formula?"
"this……"
Quite a bit of truth.
Hewlett asked again: "Father, what does the witch want?"
Speaking of this, Leonard also looked confused: "The request made by the witch is not very difficult... She asked me to investigate the layout location of each 'air purifier', and the best one should be submitted to the design director. Picture; In addition, she also asked me to find opportunities to bring more adventurers into the Sky City."
"Air purifier?" Huili was also confused, "What is that?"
"The weird machine invented by the Biqi'er clan is said to have the effect of filtering pollen - the Biqi'er clan seems to be born with a defect. Many people in the clan are allergic to pollen, so they have set up many machines in the Sky City."
As Leonard spoke, he pointed to a brass-encased mailbox-like object outside the window.
"That's it. It's all over the city now."
ah……
Hewlett was still puzzled and asked, "Father, is there any mystery behind this machine?"
"have."
Leonard responded decisively.
He looked at Hewlett with his purple eyes and lowered his voice: "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. I don't believe Biqier's words at all, so I secretly got off the machine and dismantled the research. As expected, this is not the case at all. An air purifier, but a spiritual device that can influence the mind!”
Hewlett frowned slightly.
Leonard continued: "Irritability, depression, rage, sadness. Everyone who stays around the 'purifier' will slowly induce negative emotions in their hearts. This is not a very powerful effect, and it will not affect those who are mentally excited. It may not even have any effect on a person, but if it is a person who is depressed or even despairing, it will have a huge impact.”
Hewlett was slightly startled and quickly thought of something.
He quickly turned his head and asked, "I heard that several adventurers have committed suicide in the past half month..."
Leonard didn't speak, just nodded.
That is the person who is affected by the "purifier".
From the beginning, he felt that Bi Qi'er had other plans. Now that he saw that the mysterious "witch" was also interested in this device, he became even more convinced of this idea.
However, he still had no idea what Biqier wanted to do.
Leonard vaguely believed that this might be related to the "original spirit" that his "grandfather" said, but he looked through the classics and still didn't know what the original spirit was.
At present, it seems that the only option is to agree to the witch's request and make plans slowly.
Hewlett said: "Father, I found icy blue flowers on the Initial Island. Those flowers grow next to the stone tablet recording the formula - the so-called 'calyx flower', could it be that kind of flower?"
Leonard asked: "Did you bring it back?"
Hewlett shook his head: "I was worried that Beethoven would be suspicious, so he only came back with the formula."
"..."
Since you are so careful, why don't you cut off the captain's head and throw it into the sea?
Leonard glanced at his son helplessly, and suddenly said: "This matter... is a coincidence from beginning to end. Why did such an important formula appear on the island we used to operate? Hewlett , You told me the exact situation at that time."
"Father, I think - this may be the Eighteenth Seat of God helping us."
Hewlett told him the scene one by one.
In particular, he talked about the figure of the black-robed woman he saw through the telescope, and the smiling look that the woman cast from thousands of miles away.
Finally, he said with nostalgia: "Although I didn't see the face of the woman in black robe clearly, I am sure - Father, she must be a peerless beauty! Her eyes are so clear that it is unforgettable!"
Leonard was not interested in the young man's inexplicable emotions.
He pays more attention to logic and details.
No matter from which angle you look at it, this matter has obviously broken away from the category of coincidence and has made rapid progress in the direction of intentional arrangement!
The person behind all this was even worried that Hewlett would not take the bait, so he specially arranged for a person to wait on the island, but did not give him a chance to meet or talk.
What are you doing?
Do charity?
Leonard was confused. The only thing he could be sure of was that this matter was probably done by a group of inexplicable and even weird people from the "Eighteen Seats before God".
Opening up such a wonderful "City in the Sky" to everyone free of charge, even if the dove occupied the magpie's nest, they were happy and did not protest at all;
Now, the formula for the promotion potion is given to the Hesse clan for free.
But the problem is...
"Everything in this world must have a motive!"
Leonard's eyebrows knitted together.
"What do the top 18 of the gods want? To open up the city in the sky, it can be said that they are enemies of the dragons; but what is the point of giving me the magic potion formula? Could it be that I, the Hesse clan, are the top 10 of the gods? The eight appointed masters of the new world?"
I have to say that for a moment, Leonard was very excited!
But he forced himself to calm down. He believed that the Hesse family was nothing unique compared to other humans.
