Four hours later.
Li Aili, still perched in the tree: "..."
The younger brother, still perched in the tree: "..."
Finally, it was the dragon gem on Li Aili's neck that spoke, resolving their predicament.
Where are you? What are you doing?
Hearing her boyfriend's voice, Li Aili almost cried tears of joy. "Darling! Come save me! It's over at the alchemy room on the east side!!"
The Duke rushed over, but before he could ask Li Aili why she was sitting in the tree with the elf, a stone rat the size of an ox suddenly appeared.
After several hours of searching for its target, the mouse charged at the Duke like a madman.
Li Aili: "Ah! Watch out!"
However... the mouse rushed too fast, like a speeding little train.
The Duke simply extended one hand.
With a loud "bang," the mouse slammed its head into the Duke's palm.
The Duke remained unmoved.
The stone shell on the mouse's body cracked little by little.
Li Aili hurriedly shouted, "Hey! Don't kill!"
After the stone cracked, the rat inside lay on the ground.
The mouse, lying on its back with its four legs in the air, rolled its eyes and foamed at the mouth, its short legs twitching every now and then.
The duke, whose hand was already on the hilt of his sword, frowned slightly. "What is this?"
Li Aili wanted to go down, so she frantically patted the elf king's brother beside her.
Wang Di wanted to take Li Aili down the tree, but after glancing at the Duke, he immediately abandoned the idea.
Li Aili: "..."
The Duke walked with steady steps, as if stepping on invisible stairs, until he reached the tree branch where Li Aili was sitting.
He carried Li Aili down from the tree.
"If I hadn't contacted you, how long did you plan to stay up there?"
Speaking of this, Li Aili was speechless.
"Where is Conrad?" She thought Conrad would come back soon and she would be free, but the butler never returned.
The Duke paused for a moment, then said, "We're busy 'exterminating' the rats in the castle."
Li Aili: "..."
Are you angry again?
The Duke asked in surprise, "Is it that obvious?"
Li Aili: "..."
The Elf King's brother slid down from the tree by himself.
"Brother-in-law, please stop..."
The Duke tilted his head slightly, his cold blue eyes looking at the smiling elven prince as if he were looking at a mouse that had fainted on the ground.
"If you drag her into doing anything dangerous again, I'll skin you alive."
Elf King's brother: "..."
Li Aili buried her head in her boyfriend's neck and began to strategically play dead.
At this moment, the ground was littered with corpses, and the elves were basically wiped out.
Who would have thought that this drugged mouse would defeat a group of long-legged elves!
Li Aili took out a large pile of healing potions, "Quickly check if there are any serious injuries."
The elves who were watching the commotion weren't seriously injured. They were just completely bewildered when they woke up.
Everything happened so fast that their memories only went as far as a 'gray lightning bolt' struck them, and then it 'ended'.
The male servant who was initially knocked into the fountain was unharmed when he woke up.
He's not an elf, nor is he someone with formidable martial prowess... right?
Just as Li Aili was curiously looking at the male servant, Arthur picked her up and took her back to the castle.
At the dinner table, Li Aili, who had been diligently feeding her boyfriend, finally noticed that his expression had softened a bit.
"About the experiment..."
The Duke said directly, "Leave the experimental issues to me from now on."
He said calmly, "There are plenty of 'rats' in the dark prison, more than we can use."
"What Leongor made was too dangerous."
Li Aili felt that the Duke was being overly nervous.
"Ellie, I hope you can take your safety issues more seriously."
Li Aili also felt that the scene that afternoon was indeed a bit frightening.
The key point is that everyone thinks that a mouse the size of a palm, no matter how it changes, is still a mouse.
However, the king's brother's medicine actually transformed the biological species of the drug user!
She said speechlessly, "This 'Indestructible Pill'... it's unbelievable. This pill seems to have a berserk effect as well. I'll observe the rat that took the pill later. If there are no problems afterward, we can give it to the knights."
"For example, when they are at their wits' end, this thing might save their lives."
"Then, there's another question: why did you order so many 'Thunderbolt Pills' with Leongor?"
The Duke's silver knife sliced across the steak on the plate.
"For use in war."
Li Aili: "...Are you planning to conquer an empire?"
The Duke smiled but said nothing.
"So, you should be polite to them, otherwise you'll scare away such a precious person, and then you'll have nowhere to cry."
