"Will it be like this..." Riley turned his head to look out the window, his thoughts drifting away, thinking of his wife, Clina, and his biological son who existed but he had never met.
"Well, the probability of it being over soon is higher!" Rhett muttered without saying more.
After that, he left Sub-Fort No. 1 and headed for the Alchemy Workshop. He hadn't seen Henk for more than two months, and as a lord, he needed to go and comfort him.
The winter snow covered the military camp and the streets were covered in silver. Rhett strode towards the alchemy workshop in the heavy snow.
Along the way, he met many acquaintances who greeted him and Lei Te greeted them with a smile. After returning to the canyon defense line for two months, the number of familiar people in this military camp has finally increased.
Not long after, they arrived at the alchemy workshop area.
After showing his identity card, Rhett was able to pass smoothly and arrived at Blue Leaf Castle.
But he was blocked outside the gate and couldn't get in.
The rules of the alchemy workshop are stricter than those of the execution ground. After all, it involves secrets such as the Black Crow's Sorrow, so only alchemists are allowed to enter and exit the castle.
Leiter had sent someone in to inform Henk, while he stood outside waiting, admiring the Blue Leaf Castle covered with a layer of blue crystal-like plating, and thought to himself: "But... a temporary alchemist like Henk should not be able to access secrets of the Black Crow's Sorrow Potion.
Otherwise, bringing it back to the territory would increase the foundation of the family and the territory..."
Thinking of this, Rhett sighed twice.
But suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to my mind.
"No! I have [Real Simulation], so why should I be bothered by how to obtain the formula of Black Crow's Sorrow in reality? I can completely find a way to record the formula through simulation..." Rhett's eyes flickered, and he looked up at the senior executives of Blue Leaf Castle in a trance.
To be on the safe side, Rhett even turned on the system on the spot.
[Do you want to start the real simulation? Each day of simulation consumes 1 point of destiny. ]
"yes!"
The ripples in front of him just dissipated, and within a few seconds, Henk walked out of the castle gate. After seeing Leiter, his expression was filled with joy and excitement, and he said, "My Lord, long time no see!"
"Well, Henk, it's great to see you again!" Leiter took two steps forward to greet him, looked Henk up and down, and said, "How have you been adapting to the alchemy workshop in the past few months?"
"Not bad. There are some alchemists whose alchemy level is higher than mine. Communicating with them has helped me gain a lot of experience." Henk said with a smile.
Leiter nodded, pondered for a moment, glanced at the castle gate, and saw two rows of serious-looking knights on both sides. He then took Henk's arm and said, "Come with me."
Henk looked a little surprised, but he still followed Leiter to an open place and asked curiously, "Lord, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"Yeah." Lei Te's face turned serious and said, "While you were in there, did you hear about the Black Crow's Sorrow formula?"
Henk's pupils shrank, his expression changed slightly, he looked around a few times, and asked cautiously: "Lord, why are you asking this? I am just a temporary alchemist, of course I don't have the authority to access such confidential information as the Black Crow's Sorrow!"
"Then where is the place where the Black Crow's Sorrow is refined? Do you know?" Rhett asked.
"I don't know." Henk shook his head.
Hearing this, Lei Te frowned, but after a moment his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he remembered something, and asked, "Then have you heard of those alchemists with high alchemy skills? Where do they make their potions?"
"A highly skilled alchemist?" Henk frowned and thought for a moment. After a moment, he slowly said, "I know two of them. One is Moss and the other is Yumi. One of them is in charge of the entire alchemy team in our Blue Leaf Castle. I have asked her questions several times and learned a lot every time."
"Moss...Yuumi..." Lei Te muttered a few words and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do they appear often?"
"They seldom come to Blue Leaf Castle, only once a week on average." Henk said with a trembling voice, because the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. A terrifying guess arose in his mind, so he asked tentatively: "My Lord, you... are not planning to take over the Black Crow's Sorrow, are you?"
Leiter looked at Henk, was silent for a moment, and said, "That's right! If we can get hold of this potion, the improvement to our territory will definitely be enormous!"
Henk stopped talking for a moment, but looked at Rhett as if he were a madman.
"Where is this place? How can we possibly get that kind of thing with just the two of us?" Henk widened his eyes and tried to persuade them.
And Lei Te said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, nothing will happen!
You just need to do what I say!"
Rhett looked straight at Henk, and the other party's incomprehensible look made him sigh inwardly.
He understood the other person's feelings and thoughts very well. If it were him, he would definitely suspect that he was a lunatic! Faced with this obviously impossible thing, Leiter's eyes rolled around and he thought of a good way to persuade him. He said: "Henk, let me tell you a secret. In fact, I have a magic weapon in my hand that can turn back time, but my memory will not disappear.
So later we just need to get the formula, I will write it down, and then use this ability to go back to the past to avoid all subsequent dangers!"
Henk blinked after hearing this, and looked at Rhett with even more surprise.
"Well, I still don't believe it!" Rhett shook his head and said secretly.
"How about this, you tell me a secret that no one else can know, but only you know!" Lei Te saw that the other party still didn't trust him, and suddenly thought of a plan in his mind, and said helplessly: "I will activate my ability later, go back to the past, and use this secret to exchange for your trust!"
Lei Te thought about it and thought, this method should be fine, right? After all, this is a simulation, so what's the harm in exposing these secrets?
What does what happens in the simulation have to do with reality? Once it ends, everything that happened in the simulation will eventually become nothing!
"When I was 6 years old, I had an affair with my neighbor..." Henk thought for a moment and prepared to tell an embarrassing story from his childhood.
But he suddenly paused, and a strange thought suddenly emerged in his mind - what if... what the Lord said was true? "Forget it, let's not talk about this kind of thing, otherwise it will be easy to be laughed at." Henk thought to himself, so he thought about it and said:
"Ahem. Ahem. When my brother was 5 years old, his sense of taste was impaired for a while, so he ate goat shit as candy beans."
"Uh..." Leiter looked at Henk with a strange look, and then stopped talking nonsense. He shook his head and immediately ended the simulation.
The ripples around him gradually dissipated, and he stood in front of the gate of Blue Leaf Castle again, about ten meters away.
After thinking about the conversation a while ago, Rhett let out a sigh of relief and sorted out the plan in his mind.
Then he started the second simulation.
[Do you want to start the real simulation? Each day of simulation consumes 1 point of destiny. ]
"yes!"
Soon, Henk walked out of the Blue Leaf Castle again. When he saw Leiter, his expression was filled with joy and excitement, and he said, "My Lord, long time no see!"
Looking at the same scene as before, Rhett smiled faintly and took two steps forward to greet him, "Well, Henk, it's great to see you again! Come with me first, I have something to tell you."
This time, he took Henk to an open space in a straightforward manner. Leiter looked serious and said, "Henk, please listen to me patiently.
I want to tell you one thing, I have the ability to reverse time and space, so I am now going to record down the recipe of Black Crow's Sorrow.
Now tell me all the information and clues you know!"
Henk blinked and looked at Rhett with the same look as a madman.
Lei Te sighed when he saw this. He knew that no one would easily believe such nonsense. He shook his head and said, "Well, actually, this is the second time I have said this to you. Last time, you still didn't want to believe it."
Henk's eyes became strange and his brows furrowed slightly, intending to listen to what the lord was going to say.
“So, I asked you a secret as a signal.
If I tell you this, you should be able to believe that I am telling the truth!"
"Well, what secret?" Henk actually became interested and wanted to see what joke the lord was going to play.
"When your brother was 5 years old, his sense of taste was impaired for a while, and he ate goat shit as candy beans."
The few words Leiter uttered gently fell into Henk's ears, which was no less than a huge wave! "What? What the lord said is actually true? He... actually has the secret to reversing time and space!"
Henk's pupils suddenly shrank, and he took a breath. The look he gave Rhett suddenly became filled with fear... and awe.
The ability to reverse time and space, even the strong men in the Holy Land can't do this , right? He took a deep breath, looked at Lei Te with eyes as if he were a god, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Lord, is there a limit to your ability?"
"Yes, there is only one day, so we have to hurry up." Lei Te said urgently, "Don't worry about danger. If anything happens, I will turn back time before danger comes!
You just need to cooperate with me and get the formula of Black Crow's Sorrow, that's enough!"
"Okay!" Henk's eyes flickered, became firm, and he agreed!
The two talked for a while and came up with a preliminary plan.
Henk first walked into Blue Leaf Castle alone.
He touched his bald head and recalled what had just happened. His mind was still in turmoil, but he thought for a moment: "Whether what the Lord said is true or false, the Lord is not afraid of danger, so why should I worry about it?"
Henk sighed and continued walking towards the second floor of Blue Leaf Castle.
Thump thump thump
Follow the stairs to the second floor, and then walk straight forward along a dim blue passage.
He walked to the deepest part, looked at the metal door, took a deep breath, stretched out his fingers and knocked twice.
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
"Come in."
"Oh, it's Henk. What can I do for you?" An old man in a black robe asked with a smile. In front of him, there were densely packed alchemical instruments. The alchemical pots were boiling with green liquid, and a pungent smell was floating in the air.
“Mr. Thomas, my lord came over just now and said that the war will be over soon.
To thank you for your guidance and help during these days, he has a gift for you before leaving. "
"Oh? I don't accept gifts..."
"That was the experience of an alchemist master, and he specially wrote a copy by hand."
"But I cannot let down such a sincere heart!" The black-robed old man's expression suddenly became serious, and then he stood up hastily and walked out. As he walked in front, the corners of his mouth rose and he said:
"Hunk, please let me meet your lord. He must be a great and generous man. I must get to know him!"
Henk was behind, looking at the back of the old man in black robe who was walking out first, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he quickly followed.
The old man in black robe is the resident steward of Lanye Castle and the deputy leader of the alchemy team. Apart from the elusive team leader, all matters concerning alchemy are usually handled by him.
Being in the rear of the military camp, he didn't need to participate in the fighting and was only responsible for refining medicines.
Therefore, his mentality is naturally much more relaxed than that of soldiers who go to the battlefield all year round.
In addition, there were many experts gathered in the rear of the military camp, so the old man in black robe had no doubt that there could be some conspiracy here! In fact, the old man in black robe was indeed thinking normally. If Lei Te did not have the ability to simulate, how could he have the courage to take risks in such an important place?
When the old man in black robe left Blue Leaf Castle and walked out of the gate, he happened to see Rhett not far away, taking out a booklet and shaking it.
The old man in black robe's eyes lit up, and he greeted him with enthusiasm in his heart - that was the experience of the alchemy master!
If he could understand it carefully, it would definitely save him several years, or even more than ten years of detours! In his opinion, no matter whether the other party gave it to him sincerely, or changed his mind at the last minute and made other requests: such as seeking benefits or seeking other things.
He is willing to agree to it!
He has no shortage of money or resources.
Therefore, he decided to get this alchemy manual!
So he quickened his pace, approached, and said with a smile: "Mr. Leiter, I just heard that you have a manual for alchemy masters?"
Leiter just smiled faintly, "Yes, this is the one. Mr. Thomas can check it first."
As he handed over the booklet, he looked at the other person's fiery eyes and completely let down his guard.
In order to save time, he cast the Earth Shattering Technique without further ado!
The earth shook and the space twisted, causing the old man in black robe to stagger and fall to the ground with an unstable center of gravity.
"You, what are you doing!" Thomas looked terrified and shouted subconsciously.
Wind Blade
Whoosh
Henk seized the opportunity and fired two wind blades, instantly cutting off the opponent's legs! "Ah!" The old man in black robe screamed.
Then Lei Te stepped forward with a sharp look and asked directly: "Where is the formula and refining place of Black Crow's Sorrow? Two-in-one, I've been waiting for a long time. Thank you in the 'Writer's Words'
Thanks to the book friends for their monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. Thank you very much!! (End of this chapter)
