Chapter 21 Black Spring (10)
"His Majesty!?"
"God's messenger!?"
Amy and Tessosomok stared at Ella in surprise, but heard Ella continue:
"However, I need to get a portion of Black Spring water in advance. I'll need it now."
"Want spring water?" The leader stared at Ella cautiously, "What do you want to do?"
"Since I want to directly contact the power of the God of Spring Water, of course I have to say hello to it in advance." Ella said, "This is a basic respect, isn't it?"
"The God of Springs will not listen to the words of the evil god messenger." A warrior muttered in the leader's ear, "For a long time, only our priests can hear it. This opposite must be trying to take the opportunity to test the toxicity."
The leader glanced up and down at Ella. Of course, he knew that Ella wanted to test the toxicity. However, the poison of the Black Spring comes from the divine power of the God of Spring. Their tribe has not used to find the antidote of the Black Spring for nearly a thousand years, so Ella naturally could not find it in one night.
"Yes." He agreed, "I will ask my subordinates to bring the spring water today. Tomorrow night is the time for us to compete."
After saying this, the leader turned around and left with the warriors. Seeing Ella's confidence, the onlookers gradually showed an expression of understanding.
"I underestimate the power of the God Envoy too much." Tessosomok said first, "The Feathered Snake God of the Spring Water of a mere tribe can naturally not be afraid of it."
"That's certainly, but now is not the time to praise." Ella said to Tessosomok seriously, "Please strengthen your guard tonight and prepare to face the night attacking enemies."
"Night attack?" Tessomok was shocked again, "Is tomorrow's competition their lie?"
"There will be a night attack of 80%, but even if there are, there will be no more enemies. Just set a trap and let them take the bait."
Tessomok didn't understand how Ella came to this conclusion, but since the God Envoy said so, there was no problem. So he glanced at the lords of the onlookers and took them to make precautions.
After Tessomok and others left, Dust suddenly gave Ella a thumbs up:
"Gao! It's really high! I'm worthy of being my disciple! I hypocritically proposed to ask for the Black Spring sample, which seems to be really preparing for the competition. When they relax their vigilance, it will be much easier!"
"That's of course, so Master should not be idle now." Ella said, "You go and explore the surrounding area, find a route that is most suitable for breaking through, and then prepare our guards!"
"Discover? Who am I, your master? Let's not talk about going to investigate, even if I ask me to find out the water curtain and bring the spring water along, they can't find me."
Dust smugly swears in front of Ella for a while, then leaves to prepare.
"So, your majesty." After waiting for the two gangs to leave, Amy asked seriously, "What do you want to do?"
"What do you want to do? Amy? What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. Tessosomok will arrange defenses and Dust will arrange breakthroughs, which means that neither of these two things is the most important thing. What about you? Where are you? You are going to arrange yourself? You really want to use one night to unlock the toxicity of the Black Spring, right?"
"I can't hide it from you, Amy." Ella smiled bitterly, "There may be a sneak attack. After all, I don't think that the warriors behind the leader are all convinced. This is not a regular army. It is inevitable that someone will attack by himself against the leader's intentions. There may be a breakout. If I find that I can't solve the toxicity of the Black Spring, this is the backup plan. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to this competition."
"Your Majesty, I know the saying: 'Where poisons are present, there must be antidotes nearby'. But judging from the performance of these tribes, this spring should not be applicable." Amy said, "If the antidote is something that can be obtained very nearby, they would not agree to give His Majesty the sample. And the leader said the toxicity of the spring water was divine power. According to this description, this spring water probably has no antidote at all."
Ella smiled proudly.
"It's just that they think so. Amy, you forgot? I'm the honorary president of the Alchemy Academy, but I'm the greatest alchemist in the world today except Paracelsus!"
"Then... Your Majesty has a way to create an antidote?"
"After listening to their description, I already have some clues. Let's go and prepare some suitable vessels to give this group of primitive people a little alchemy shock."
That night, the water from the Black Spring came late.
Ella poured the water into a pottery bowl and placed it under the light to observe carefully. The water was clear and transparent, exactly the same as ordinary water. She sniffed it again, but she didn't smell any special smell. It looked just ordinary spring water, which was completely incompatible with the word "black".
"Amy, try it out for an animal."
Amy nodded and took out a green Kechar bird that he had caught for it. As soon as he touched the water of the black spring, the bird bounced away like an electric shock. Amy pressed the bird's throat and poured the spring water down, but saw the bird begin to jump wildly, and the whine became extremely sad, but it did not die for a while.
"It's not as exaggerated as the tribe's people say, so I need to purify it."
Ella threw the bird aside for a while, poured the black spring water sent into a kettle, and placed it on a bonfire to heat it carefully. After the water vapor came out of the kettle, she heated it for a while and moved the kettle away. When the water inside cooled, she heated it again. After repeated several times, she took the remaining liquid out of the fire and poured it into four bowls.
Ella threw a gold bead for the Aztlans to the first bowl, a silver coin brought from the Old Road to the second bowl, a tip of an iron arrow into the third bowl, and a copper lock in the last bowl.
Except for the gold beads and silver coins, bubbles appeared on the surfaces of the items in several other bowls.
"Your Majesty, look!"
Amy walked over with the bird holding the bird. When Ella performed the above steps, the bird was dead. Ella squeezed open the bird's mouth and found many blisters inside. She dissected the bird again. The internal organs inside were as ulcerated, and there were traces of burning.
Ella went to clean water to wash her hands, then stood up.
"Your Majesty, how about it?" Amy asked with concern. "Can you use alchemy to make an antidote?"
