Chapter 123 This is inappropriate(1/2)
A straight corridor is very disadvantageous for Pei Renli, because there is no shelter in the corridor, and there is nowhere to hide when encountering something.
The dim environment also means that the guy living here has dim vision or simply dark vision, so you can spot him casually.
So Pei Renli first made himself invisible. Although it was still possible to be seen through, at least it was an insurance.
As for Ravna, there is no need to worry at all. She also has dark vision and is sure to hide in the shadows before being discovered.
The two of them walked as lightly as possible and moved forward little by little toward the left side of the corridor. They walked about 50 meters forward and the depressing environment was gone.
He seemed to have walked into a place similar to a hall. Not only was the width greatly increased, but the ceiling was also higher.
But what's different from the hall is that there are strange plants growing everywhere here.
Ferns or mushrooms spread close to the surrounding walls, some of which are bigger than Pei Renli, and glow in the dark with purple-red, blue-white or even bright green light. Although it is far from enough for lighting,
But it looks beautiful in the dark.
After a brief identification, Pei Renli determined that whether they were ferns or mushrooms, they were rare alchemical materials that could only be grown underground and used to make potions.
Some ingredients for making potions must be prepared in advance using different techniques before they can be used. This is similar to traditional Chinese medicine, but there are also some ingredients that must be kept fresh.
From the time it is picked, it will completely lose its effectiveness if not processed as soon as possible.
Therefore, many alchemists who are good at making potions will have a flower garden dedicated to cultivating medicinal herbs. Perrenli and Ravna probably came to this kind of place.
The owner of the cave is an alchemist? But how to explain the spell-like ability of the enchantment school that made them comatose?
As soon as this idea popped into her mind, Ravna immediately whispered:
"Your Majesty the Demon King, a magic servant is here."
Since Ravna couldn't see the invisible Perenli, she could only give a verbal reminder.
The two of them immediately hid behind a mushroom that was almost as tall as a small tree and had a large, flat umbrella. After a while, they saw a string of blue light appear from the darkness and slowly float past.
The magic servant is semi-invisible. When carrying items, the magic servant's body and other objects will light up a string of blue lights. So most of the time, to other people's eyes, the magic servant carrying things looks like a string of blue lights.
Something is flying.
Pei Renli quietly peeked out to take a look, and noticed that the magic servant was carrying a dinner plate with a stoneware bowl on it. Although he didn't know what was in the bowl, the direction he looked at should be to the cell where Pei Renli stayed before.
I went to deliver lunch to him.
The magic servant doesn't have much intelligence. The illusion left by Pei Renli should be able to fool him, but he is a little worried that the magic servant will find that the lock is broken.
The two waited in place without moving. After a while, they saw the dinner plate missing a bowl and a string of blue lights floating back in the direction from where they came. The speed was almost the same as before. They probably didn't notice that Pei Renli had come out.
When they felt that the magic servant had gone far, Perenli and Ravna came out from behind the mushroom. By the way, Perenli also noticed that the space used to cultivate medicinal materials was actually a crossroads, and the other two roads were hidden between the mushrooms and
Behind the ferns.
Pei Renli reestablished a visual connection with the mystical eye that was following him, and did a simple investigation.
Since he had no direction now, he just picked a random road and walked in.
I chose this path because it was the darkest place, the density of torches was lower, and it was so dark that Pei Renli had to touch the wall to walk.
Darkness is troublesome, but it is also beneficial to Ravna, so I chose this side.
Walking along the crooked corridor, which looked like it was pulled directly out of the stone, after walking for about twenty or thirty meters, several wooden doors appeared on one side of the corridor. Judging from the workmanship, they looked like cell doors.
Pei Renli carefully approached the door closest to him and put his ear to it to listen to the movement behind the door.
There was a series of bubble sounds like boiling water, but other than that, there was no movement. But there was an unpleasant smell coming from the crack in the door, like burning tires.
It can’t be the kitchen, right? What kind of skill does it take to create such a taste?
No matter what, exploration still needs to be done, and Pei Renli must find a way to find the other missing people.
He asked Ravna to guard the door while he weaved the runes again and used Detect Creatures.
Like detecting magic, detecting creatures also has the effect of penetrating walls, but it cannot pass through too thick rocks or metals. There is no pressure on such a broken door.
As the spell took effect, Pei Renli could feel that there was only one humanoid creature inside, and it was standing close to the wall as if it was bound, not moving at all.
It is very possible that he is one of the missing companions.
So Ravna was told to hide in the shadow, and Perrenli gently opened the door and ducked in.
The first thing that comes into view is a stone wall that has been specially flattened. There are many hooks on it, and some processed herbs, dried viscera of unknown animals and other things are hung on it.
Holding on to the wall, Pei Renli remained invisible and walked slowly forward. When he walked around the wall in the direction of the flickering firelight, a room of about thirty to forty square meters appeared in front of him.
There are various cabinets on the left and right sides. Many things that should be potion materials are piled on the workbench and cabinets. There are even a few human skulls that serve as candlesticks to provide lighting.
The most eye-catching thing is the large crucible placed in the center of the room.
There was a strange dark green flame burning under the thing, and the crucible itself seemed to be made of black iron. It had a capacity so large that it could stew a person without any pressure, and bubbles and water mist were emitting at this moment.
This is very strange, because alchemists generally do not use such large crucibles. After all, they are making potions, not bath water.
Moreover, the surrounding alchemy equipment was also very crude. Pei Renli only saw a few beakers and test tubes, but nothing else.
Can you make a magic potion from this?
I can’t say it’s completely impossible, but it’s too rough and very uncomfortable.
Through the water mist coming out of the crucible, you can vaguely see someone on the other side of the room.
Ignoring the details that were inconsistent with common sense, Pei Renli walked around the crucible and noticed that the person he saw before was Eve.
It's just that what I'm wearing is a little too cool now.
The lower body only has a pair of shorts that are almost like hot pants, and the upper body is a white vest. The white thighs and arms are exposed. In the dim candlelight, it feels a bit seductive.
Although this kind of dressing up is not uncommon on earth, when Eve wears it like this, it should be underwear.
With her hands raised, she was trapped by a set of locks and stood against the wall. No wonder she was standing still, but she couldn't move at all.
Even though she was trapped in this state, Eve still had no expression on her face, and her blue eyes were always staring at the crucible not far away. It was difficult to guess what she was thinking.
It was easy to find a companion, and apart from wearing cool clothes, he didn't seem to be injured, but it was a bit hard to talk about. Pei Renli's first thought when he saw Eve was to ask her if she usually shaved her armpits.
It’s also too clean…
This is inappropriate.
After removing the invisibility, you can see Eve's pupils shrinking slightly. She must be very happy to see Pei Renli at this time.
"It turns out you're a boxer briefs fan. I thought you always wore briefs."
“…..”
——This is even more inappropriate.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Anyone who often interacts with Pei Renli knows that this guy is very trustworthy when it comes to serious matters, but sometimes he can be funny sometimes.
To be precise, it's not occasional.
Peri Renli has a very playful personality and is a typical fun-loving person. He gives other people the impression that he is occasionally funny because he has been suppressed by the Demon King Arena before, and his mind is full of worries about how to survive.
Forced to become serious.
The Demon King's Arena itself is not as dangerous as Pei Renli imagined. Although he still can't give up the liver-explosion, his mentality must be a lot more relaxed.
So there was nothing to say about it...
Even though Eve has a face that rarely shows any fluctuations in expressions, after hearing Pei Renli's words, she also had a "Don't make me curse" expression on her face. In a sense, Pei Renli is pretty awesome.
.
Let’s not talk about this first.
The imprisoned girl looks very sexy, but one still has to find a way to let go.
"How did you escape?"
"I was just thrown into the cell, and when I woke up, I was released using the tapping technique."
Eve did not learn the tapping technique, mainly because it is generally not used. At this time, the advantage of a general mage is reflected.
The lock that trapped Eve was like a kind of handcuff fixed on the wall. As soon as Pei Renli struck the lock, a string of magic aura obviously appeared on the lock, which slowly disappeared after several seconds.
"It's actually a secret magic lock?"
This is troublesome. The arcane lock cannot be opened by tapping. Unless Pei Renli has the tools and Alton's lockpicking skills, there is nothing he can do with this kind of lock.
"Do you know where the key is?"
"I don't know. The magic servant took off my clothes and left. Maybe the key is on them."
Speaking of why Eve was undressed...
"Is he a pervert?"
Eve got angry and kicked Pei Renli:
"The book you read should be some kind of potion or magic ritual that requires me."
"It's just a joke, don't be nervous."
In fact, the heart, blood, and skin of a pure girl can be used to make potions or as materials for magic rituals. Of course, this practice must be extremely evil, and generally even many magicians and alchemists who do not take morality seriously
