Volume 1 The Chili Sauce Smuggler Won't Meet the Waste Witch Chapter 57 The Mystery Magician
Follow Blanche to the house where the slaves lived, more of a ...... than a house Cowshed? Isn't that appropriate?
Come to think of it, these aristocrats have always been such arrogant people, who would build a comfortable residence specifically for the sake of slaves?
This place that looked like a cowshed made Zhen Xiang feel a little uncomfortable. She looked at the dozen or so slaves lying on the ground, dressed neatly, and even looked like some peasants in the countryside.
Seeing the Duchess coming over in person, the person in charge of managing the slaves hurriedly came up and nodded, "Duchess, this is ...... I don't know why, but all of these slaves suddenly collapsed, and their faces turned purple as if they were sick......"
"Sick? Are more than a dozen slaves sick together? The Duchess looked at the slaves lying on the ground from afar, and asked, "What is the disease?" Can it be cured today? ”
"This ...... We don't know...... "A slave is sick, and if he can't heal himself, he has to die." After all, no master would want to call in a doctor for the sake of some slaves. Although the price of buying a new slave is far higher than curing a slave, what if he becomes ill again not long after he is cured?
While the slaves were still groaning, the Duchess said, "Pick one who is in good health, and let him follow Miss Ania to fetch something." Freedom for him as long as he can bring things back, along with gold coins and fields. ”
The slaves, who were still moaning, could not care about their sickness at this time, and one by one they tried to get up and say, "Madame! Please let me go. ”
"Let me go, I'm in good health."
"Please let me go, I'm not sick, I'm fine...... Ahem......"
Ania walked over and crouched down and took the wrist of one of the slaves, and after taking the pulse, said to the Duchess, "Duchess, it seems that there is no way for these slaves to go with us. ”
There's no way to go together? Could it be a terminal illness?
Ania motioned for the Duchess to go out for a moment, and the men walked out of the cowshed-like house.
"Miss Aniah, why can't these slaves go together?" The Duchess asked, "What is wrong with them?" ”
When Ania saw the clothes hanging on the wall, she reached out and wiped them on top of them and said, "It's not a serious illness, it's just that someone has drugged it." ”
"Drugged?" The Duchess wondered, "Why drug these slaves?" Does anyone think that killing slaves can cause trouble to the ducal palace? ”
"Absolutely." Ania pointed to himself and said, "If we kill the slaves, who can go with us to the Dream Island to pick the fruit of Atlah?" ”
The Duchess nodded thoughtfully, and then asked Aniah, "Do you ...... Is it the magician from before? The magician who knocked Angelina into a coma? ”
"This thing...... Mr. Hobson should know, right? Ania asked Hobson, after all, Hobson said that there was a way to know the other party's location, so he should know best whether the magician entered the ducal palace and poisoned the slaves.
Hobson reached behind him and pulled out a crystal ball that looked like it was only the size of a fist from his fourth-dimensional chrysanthemum: "No, that magician is no longer in the Kingdom of St. Martin, and these slaves are not his hands. ”
Isn't it? If not, who would it be? Ania was a little confused, and she asked the man in charge of the slaves, "Did you see how they fell?" Is it the kind without any warning? Didn't you see the shadow of anyone? ”
The other party shook his head and said, "I didn't see it, they just came back from work to prepare for dinner, and then as soon as they returned to the house, they all collapsed." ”
Ania sighed and muttered, "Also, what can I expect you to see...... Well? What about Zhen Xiang? ”
Everyone looked at it and found that Zhen Xiang didn't seem to be in the room and didn't come out, and when they returned to the house, Zhen Xiang seemed to be talking to those slaves about something.
Ania walked up to her and asked, "What do you do?" Aren't you afraid that they will infect you? ”
"If it was contagious, you wouldn't have touched them just now, would you?" After seeing Ania coming over, Zhen Xiang put away the chili sauce in her hand, she had just distributed the chili sauce to the slaves here to eat.
Glancing at the few people who didn't follow behind, Ania asked Zhen Xiang, "What are you doing?" ”
"I want to see if the chili sauce can have a healing effect...... Zhen Xiang said his guess to Aniah: "Your teacher told me that this chili sauce will have an excellent effect when a person is in a desperate situation. If a person's mental power is strong enough, he can have unexpected abilities, I wonder if these slaves should be desperate now, right? In this case, maybe eating chili sauce can cure their illness......
That's true, but is it really possible? Eating chili sauce can cure that strange disease.
Truth be told, Ania knew the sickness of these slaves, knew it very well - these people had been poisoned by someone, and that poison did not actually kill people. Although it looks serious, it can recover with just two days of rest.
But if Zhen Xiang's chili sauce can cure them......
Ania grabbed Zhen Xiang's hand and asked, "How many people have you given chili sauce?" ”
Zhen Xiang said blankly: "What's wrong?" Can't you eat it? Ate it all......"
"Stupid! You're hurting them! Ania patted his forehead and said, "Originally, they didn't have to go with us to pick the fruit of Atra when they were sick, but now if they are cured, one of them will follow us to death." ”
Zhen Xiang suddenly seemed to understand that the people who made these slaves sick were not to kill them, but to save them...... Oops, I seem to have done something wrong.
Fortunately, the Duchess did not come, so they did not hear what they were saying, otherwise one of these slaves would have been chosen to die.
Looking at the slaves again, it seems that none of them have recovered, and it seems that Zhen Xiang's chili sauce has not had the effect of curing diseases.
Ania who breathed a sigh of relief hurriedly pulled Zhen Xiang out of the house, and said to the Duchess: "Duchess, although I don't know what the situation is, you better find someone who can go with us to pick the fruit of Atla as soon as possible." ”
The Duchess replied, "I think it's okay to go to a condemned prisoner now?" If it's just an inconsequential death row inmate, it should be fine, right? ”
Ania smiled and said, "Duchess, do you think that being able to poison these slaves in the Duke's Mansion without knowing and making them become such people will not be able to kill the death row prisoners you have found?" ”
The Duchess could not answer, and she asked Ania in a panic, "So what should we do?" If there is no one to pick the fruit of Atla...... Miss Aniah, with all due respect, your friends ......"
"I'm not friends with them." Ania saw through the Duchess's thoughts and said, "But if you want to buy their lives with money, I think you should dispel this idea - I brought them with me with the intention of making good use of them, and I will not let them pick the fruit of Atlah." So...... Duchess, why don't you come with us yourself? I think the purpose of the other party in this situation is very clear, he must have one of the three members of the duke's family disappear from this world. ”
Ania is such a straightforward way to speak, and she doesn't care if there is anything wrong with saying this, anyway, in her opinion, this is the only way to express herself.
Looking at the Duchess's ugly face, the maid Blanche said again, "Sure enough, let me go, right?" If it were me, the other party might not do it......"
"You decide for yourselves, we'll go first." Ania didn't want to continue to watch them struggle here, she pulled Zhen Xiang out of the backyard and said, "We will come again tomorrow, and please pick out the people who will go with us to pick the fruit when the time comes." ”
The two left the backyard and found Andre and the rest of them, along with Eunice and Regersy, and left the ducal palace in a carriage.
This time, after someone rushed to the car, Ania lay comfortably in the back compartment and said, "Have you decided on a few of you?" Do you want to go to the Dream Island with us - it's very likely that you won't be able to come back if you go there, but if any of you are lucky enough to bring something back from there, you probably won't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life. ”
Andrei didn't care about that, he had saved enough money when he was a bandit to spend it. And Felix didn't seem to be too interested in money either. Felix will go to Dream Island because he has always dreamed of adventure and dangerous places. This is also the reason why he is an adventurer, and now that he has the opportunity to go to the legendary island, he naturally wants to go with him.
As for Stre...... Although this guy didn't speak, it was already clear from his shining eyes that this guy was definitely attracted by Aniah's words just now.
And what about Crane? This guy is also a greedy man, of course he is willing to take a risk for the happiness of the rest of his life. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to be an adventurer in the first place.
After everyone decided to go together, Zhen Xiang continued to ask Ania "Where were those slaves just now...... It's the same when you're in Angelina's room, you look like you know who the magician is...... Is that so? ”
