At midnight, in the little wizard's tent, the expressionless Loren sat opposite the experimental table and watched the Holy Blood potion in Ayn's hand.
The serious little wizard was absorbed and carefully dropped the medicine in the bottle into the vessel slot of the experimental platform. Six overlapping runes were engraved on the notch of pure silver.
The bright red liquid instantly filled the rune, emitting an extremely disturbing gray blue light.
"How's it going?"
Looking at Ayn, who was facing a great enemy, Loren looked up and asked.
"Your previous guess is correct, Loren." the little wizard without raising his head closed his mouth and did not blink: "this is not the original 'Holy Blood potion' anymore... At least its composition is no longer the kind designed by Isaac's arrogant."
"Is the effect stronger, or is it completely different?"
"Neither."
AI Yin looked warily at the liquid on the rune. Her blue pupils trembled unconsciously and instinctively clenched her pink Fist: "it's more like... Variation."
"This new 'Holy Blood potion' contains a substance I have never been in contact with... It is not like the existence of the material world, but more like... I, I can't say."
The little wizard's expression was very struggling, and there was an unnatural panic at the bottom of his eyes: "I can't say what it is, but even if I touch it a little, it seems to be trying to tear my spiritual palace."
"This is definitely not a normal void reaction - pain, erosion, temporary discomfort... No, this power makes people want to vomit, and... Fear. It's like something suddenly becomes conscious and is staring at you!"
Loren nodded. It was the power of evil gods.
Serliol... Or "black cross", Asriel has mentioned it more than once, but he always stops talking; So far, it is the only existence that can frighten this guy, and it is also the founder of the destruction of the Dragon kingdom.
"This brand-new Holy Blood potion will not only destroy the user's consciousness, but also completely transform their bodies... It is no longer recovery or recovery, but complete deconstruction." the little wizard frowned slightly:
"I can try to do some reverse experiments combined with the arrogant's notes to find the core part of it - maybe I can find out the reason why it can make the user's body mutate and clarify the characteristics of this substance."
"Be careful." Lauren frowned slightly. Anyway, Ayn's security was "it's the border fortress of the dwarf Kingdom, an important trade distribution center for Byrne, Boye and the dwarves... And the headquarters of the dwarf civil war."
He clenched his teeth and Lauren closed the corners of his mouth.
If he could, he wouldn't want to start a formal war with the dwarves - not to mention two-line combat, which is a taboo. At present, more than half of his troops are cavalry, which is not suitable for attacking the fortress.
What's more, he didn't intend to participate in the dwarf's civil war, and the dwarf with excess self-esteem would never regard him as a friend for counter insurgency. I'm afraid the final result will intensify the relationship between the dwarf and Byrne and cause contradictions between the two countries.
For Charlotte, who is trying to maintain bilateral relations and the stability of the principality in red blood castle, this will be bad news that all her efforts will be wasted; Byrne, who has just begun to prepare for war, will face two wars at the same time!
Even in the current barracks, a contradiction is breaking out. Lord Byrne and the Knights have become two distinct factions, each holding its own words and arguing endlessly;
At the same time, he said that he would raise troops to besiege the silver helmet mountain fortress, seize the fortress, behead the rebel leader, force "these dwarfs to surrender as soon as possible", and hand over and destroy all holy blood potions at the same time;
Another group of people accused them of being unrealistic and forgot that several generations of Knight kings had invaded the Yunling Kingdom since the recapture of the Principality of Bain. They were all defeated and had never conquered any Fortress - even the black Duke had no exception.
This may also be why the fascists will aim at the dwarves this time... The "pure land" that is not interfered by the power of the Empire, an indestructible and solid fortress. Even if the dwarves want to capture it, it will take a long time and countless heavy casualties.
When the fortress was attacked, most of his goals had been achieved, so he wouldn't care about the lives of these dwarves... Just as he probably never cared about the lives of centaurs.
Chess pieces and running dogs, as long as they are easy to use and can be used, are garbage that can be thrown away.
The person who must make a choice is himself.
And I have no choice.
Of course, Loren can't sit back and watch the power of fascism grow - when the Centaur defeats boy and the dwarf supreme king is overthrown, the next step is Byrne!
He will no longer face an evil god Apostle who "fights alone", nor tens of thousands of demons on the glacier wasteland, monsters in the eboden sewer... But hundreds of thousands of fully armed, complete arms, fearless of death... Destroy the National Army!
Duke Byrne... The day he was crowned, there was no way back.
Yes, I'm no longer the wizard who doesn't care and comes and goes whenever he wants.
I can only move forward.
The little wizard on one side raised his head, looked at Lauren's expression, vaguely noticed something wrong, and was ready to ask.
"Pa --!"
The curtain of the camp door was suddenly lifted, and the dignified Ike rushed into the camp - the count of fury castle had completely lost his usual composure, and his eyes were anxious.
"How's it going?" Lauren frowned and turned his eyes to him. "Are they still arguing?"
Eckert shook his head with an anxious expression: "most of the Knights have settled down, and I have arranged for the rest to go to various barracks to rectify the restless soldiers."
"Just after dealing with those 'poisoned' silver armor warriors, I found that some soldiers had secretly touched those holy blood potions. When they knew they were powerful, they secretly ran over and turned themselves in."
what?!
Loren's expression suddenly changed color and his pupils narrowed: "how many?!"
"Half a hundred men team... This is only voluntary surrender, and I'm afraid it will have to be doubled in private." Eckert's face is also very ugly: "most of them are BoA's hussars, but there are also many of our soldiers and knights."
"One by one, lock them all up and lock them with iron chains. Ordinary weapons have no great effect on them now." the shock dispersed, and Loren frowned:
"Pay attention to the situation in the camp. Don't cause any panic before formal treatment."
For a military camp with thousands or even tens of thousands of people, the biggest problem is always "order and discipline". Any chaos and panic may cause "camp bombing" - soldiers who fall into fear will flee and even kill each other!
"With angert, it's not a problem to crush the soldiers." Eckert took a deep breath and looked tired. "I'm here to tell you another thing."
"What's up?"
"Those dwarf captives..." under the dim light, Ike's expression looked very dignified:
"They confessed."
