Chapter 132: Apothecary Master (Ai)
After Alfie told Christopher as much as he could about the battle, in addition to hiding some secrets about him and Celent, Christopher fell into a long silence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The fact that the important battle was far out of his control caught him off guard, and no one would have imagined that an inconspicuous frontier town would be the center of that war. It is clear that from the very beginning there has been a misalignment of his focus.
Although Christopher also got a little hint that the biggest change in the future has its roots in the northern part of the empire. Based on the information he had, he believed that the most likely location was in the barren land outside the Wall of Sighs. Unexpectedly, it was in a place that he had been ignoring.
Christopher had to admit that the Holy See's oracle technique undoubtedly had a huge advantage in this regard. Cardinal Olufi's early arrival there was undoubtedly due to the oracle, but it was a pity that he had been working hard outside the Wall of Sighs for so many years, but he did not take the lead.
This realization made Christopher feel a deep sense of frustration, could this be the Lord of Light's favor for the Holy See? Unfortunately, Bishop Olufi made the mistake of underestimating the enemy and wasted the opportunity, and was overturned by Count Raphael with a floating airship, and finally led to the undead disaster that would cause great harm. If it weren't for the little-known Bishop Flren, nothing would have been irreparable.
'Olufe and Raphael, two idiots, were blinded by the little profit in front of them!' they must not know what a stupid mistake they had made!' scolded Christopher in hatred. The anger caused him to cough violently again.
Christopher coughed incessantly, and hurriedly cast a small wind magic on the silver candlestick, and a cool aroma followed, which gradually calmed down his violent cough.
It turned out that there were cough suppressants in these candles, and it was no wonder that there were so many candles lit in such a bright hall, and I thought it was Christopher's personal taste. After accidentally learning the secret of the candle, Alfie was also an eye-opener.
"Christopher, your injuries are serious again. An old voice full of worry suddenly sounded from the door of the hall, startling Alfie.
"Master Madison, I'm sorry to alarm you again. Christopher seemed to have been prepared for the arrival, and he knew that using wind magic to trigger those candles would definitely make the apothecary master aware of it.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Christopher pointed at Alfie with his hand and said, "Master, let me introduce you to Alfie, a very accomplished bard, who has brought us very important information. ”
Christopher's compliment made Alfie a little proud, but the Madison master didn't even raise his eyelids when he was so focused on treating Christopher: "Accomplished bard, how many years has such a title not appeared, I don't think this little fellow has such a skill." ”
Madison's arrogance made Alfie roll her eyes, but for the sake of his snow-white beard, Alfie didn't have much to do with him.
Christopher smiled apologetically at Alfie and introduced him: "Master Madison is a very famous master of pharmacy, the former president of the Royal Pharmacy Society, and after his retirement, he did not hesitate to condescend to stay in my little Silver Wolf Mercenary Regiment temporarily. ”
"It's not as exaggerated as you say, I just want to take a good look at the beautiful scenery of the Ariat continent while I can still walk, just so that you can provide me with a lot of protection and convenience. Unlike his arrogance towards Alfie, Master Madison was very kind to Christopher.
"It's a blessing. Alfie saluted, for those injuries that cannot be treated by divine spells, a bottle of symptomatic potion is undoubtedly extremely precious, not to mention the existence of potions that can attach various states and make people break through temporarily, so every apothecary master will get a high status - the apothecary master is generally also a high-level magician, and only the magician can control those violent or deep raw materials, and configure them into corresponding potions.
"It's okay for you to stand down—" Master Madison waved his hand impatiently, but turned to Christopher in an unusually kind manner, "Dear Chris, why don't you always listen to my advice? ”
Alfie was extremely embarrassed to watch Master Madison shush Christopher, he felt that this old man cared too much about Christopher, if it weren't for his age, Alfie really suspected that this old guy had ulterior motives for Christopher.
"Master, I still have something to ask Alfie, do you want to be accommodating?" Christopher was obviously a little unacceptable to Master Madison's excessive enthusiasm, and had to pull Alfi out as a shield.
"No! absolutely not! I can't let this little creature waste your life any longer, you're kidding your life!" Master Madison flatly refused.
Alfie's nose was almost crooked, it was obvious that Christopher had asked him, why did it seem to be the other way around now? Alfie stomped his foot, turned around and left, and angrily dropped a sentence: "Master Christopher, come to me when you are well!"
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the entrance of the hall, Alfie felt a snickering in his heart, he pretended to be angry, just trying to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the opportunity to slip away, he did not forget that the Gibbins brothers and Rebecca were still outside the camp to find a way to rescue him. Since all this was a misunderstanding, there was no need to fight again, he had to find a way to meet them as soon as possible.
"Stop!" Alfie didn't expect that as soon as he reached the door of the hall, he heard Master Madison let out a loud shout, and then he felt a gust of wind coming from behind, and before he could react, he felt the sky spin around, and he was thrown to the ground.
What's going on? Is my plan to sneak away being discovered?
Alfie lay on the ground, pretending to be a little dizzy, but in fact she was quickly thinking about what to deal with, and finally won some favor from Christopher, but she must not let the other party misunderstand anything.
Before Alfie could finish his words, he suddenly felt two hands groping around his thighs, making him feel a chill. What's going on? Could it be true that Gibbs is saying that people here really have some unusual habits?
Alfie secretly opened a slit in his eyes and found that the old Madison guy was smiling strangely at his lower body, and his hands were going up and down.
