Chapter 16 Dark Sword and Dark Sword
The commercial area is as prosperous as ever. The streets nearly 50 meters wide are lined with shopping malls and shops, and the sidewalks are crowded with hawkers. There are all kinds of horse-drawn carriages, ox carriages, pedestrians come and go, hawking, horse neighing, and conversation, intertwined, and a hustle and bustle.
Luo Lin looked at this prosperous scene, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Who could have thought that in a year, the pearls would be covered with dust, and this scene would be burned by orcs and turned into ruins covered with corpses?"
As the world changes, mortals can only go with the flow. If they want to dominate their destiny, they must have the power of legend, insightful wisdom, and a group of like-minded friends who have common ideals.
"Can I do it?" Rollin asked himself. Without an answer, he could only do his best to fight.
He walked along the roadside vendor's stalls, and specially selected those stalls selling wetland herbs. He walked along the way, buying the same thing from east to west. Luo Lin spent four of the five silver coins in his hand, and exchanged them for a bunch of herbs.
After getting the herbs, Luo Lin went to a rental office for alchemy equipment. He said it well, and finally spent a silver coin to rent the right to use the basic alchemy equipment for an hour, and then he began to refine the potion every minute.
Live root grass, fallen leaves, yellow jing, dragon blood orchid, and various herbs were processed by Luo Lin using various means, and put them in a fire crucible crystal bottle for distillation and condensation. It took forty minutes to obtain half a bottle of amber viscous liquid.
This is the Fire Snake Potion, a low-level power burst potion, which is extremely effective for ordinary people, but has strong side effects.
Fire means violent power, and after taking it, it can double its power in a short period of time!
Snake means this toxicity, and the cost of the surge in power means the consumption of life potential. When the medicine passes, the user will fall into an extremely weak state. According to his or her physical condition, the time for rest after the event can be as short as half a month or as long as half a year, which shows the huge side effects.
Now that the crisis is in the face, Luo Lin doesn't care about so much. At the critical moment, he will drink the potion without any ambiguity.
With twenty minutes left in the rental period, Luo Lin raced against time to refine a potion. This was also a low-level potion. Compared with the basic potion, it was a little more difficult, but it was not difficult for Luo Lin.
The medicinal herbs were tossing, and fifteen minutes later, Rollin got a small bottle of liquid as clear as water.
Low-level potion: Yuanyang Water, this name sounds like an aphrodisiac, but it is actually **, why is it called Yuanyang? Because simple Yuanyang Water is non-toxic and colorless and tasteless, but if combined with a medicine, the toxicity will explode immediately. Although it will not take human life immediately, it is enough to paralyze people and lose combat effectiveness.
The reason why Luo Lin chose this potion is that the material is simple, and more importantly, the toxicity is controllable. This bottle of potion is used to deal with the traitor in Dai Wei's villa.
Yes, in the game, when Luo Lin was doing a mission, there were clues that pointed out that there was a traitor in the villa, but who was the exact one, because it was too long and there was no way to check.
But now, he has become Dai Wei's guard. From his short contact with each guard, Luo Lin realized that the person who was most suspected of a traitor was the level 15 guard Harlem!
Although he has no evidence now, this suspicion is enough to make him prepare accordingly.
The medicine for Yuanyangshui is very simple. It is to dry the tender buds of the black thorns and grind them into powder. Of course, Luo Lin bought this thing, but it was just the tender buds, but it was not dry. The alchemy equipment here is not rented for too long, and the boss has already started knocking on the door and urging people. Luo Lin had no choice but to flash it.
But it doesn't matter. The tender buds can be dried anywhere. There is a fireplace in the guard dormitory of Daiwei Villa, and it is still on fire. It's okay to go back and dry.
It is already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and assassination usually takes place at night, and it is very likely to be tonight, so Luo Lin knew that he had not much time left. After coming out of the rental place, Luo Lin trotted all the way, from the commercial area to the beach villa in the dock area, it took only less than ten minutes.
The guards at the villa door saw him panting and frowned, "Young man, why are you doing in such a hurry?"
"Haha, my private matter has been dealt with, so hurry up and get more time to get familiar with the matter." Luo Lin smiled.
"Well, you're just trying to do it." The guard replied perfunctorily and let Luo Lin enter the villa.
Luo Lin went to the guard dormitory first, filled the buds of the black thorn in an iron jar, and placed them next to the fireplace.
This dormitory is a large room with five beds inside, which were originally four, but Rowlin came, so one of them was newly added, and there was a guard resting inside. He was very strange about Rowlin's actions: "Young man, what are you baking?"
"Oh, it's the bud of black thorns. It's used to treat lung diseases. The spring cold is very serious now. I'm afraid it will be troublesome if I get lung diseases, so I use this to prevent it." Luo Lin explained with a smile. He was telling the truth. This bud is indeed a herb for treating pneumonia.
"You are intent." The guard didn't care much about this. He was very strong and never got sick.
After dealing with the young buds, Luo Lin started chatting with the guard. The guard was bored, so he started chatting about Luo Lin from all over the world.
The guard was about thirty-five or six years old, named Wag, and Rowlin called him Uncle Wag, and he himself regarded himself as a junior, and his words and attitudes seemed very respectful, which made Wag very satisfied. As long as Rowlin talked about the topic, he knew everything and said everything.
After chatting like this for more than an hour, Rollin calmly talked about many details in the villa that were difficult for outsiders to know, and also gained a deeper understanding of the employer Dai Wei's lifestyle and schedule.
"Well, Uncle Guva, I'm still not familiar with the situation in the villa. It's your turn to be on duty. Can you take me with me?" Luo Lin begged.
"Of course it's okay." Gueva felt very good about the young man because the other party respected him very much.
At this time, the buds had dried up. Rollin rubbed his fingers slightly, and the buds were dried and turned into powder.
The medicine of Yuanyangshui was also improved, and then it was poisoned.
It was time for Uncle Guva to change shifts, so Luo Lin followed him and began patrolling the villa.
Along the way, Uncle Guva explained to Luo Lin in detail what work should the guards do and what they had to pay attention to, which benefited him a lot.
"This is a garden. The lady likes flowers and often comes here to relax. Therefore, any defects in the garden must be eliminated in time. When the lady is here, we should try to keep quiet and not disturb her."
"The backyard is facing the window of the lady's alchemy room, so it also needs to be quiet, because the lady stays in it most of the time, and it will be very dangerous to distract herself." Uncle Guva tried to lower his voice as much as possible when he said this.
"And that, that is the back door. Every morning, the vegetable vendor will bring the ingredients. When the chef picks up the vegetables, we have to stand there to check the food. We are also responsible for the safety of the food."
"The third floor is where the lady's bedroom is located, and the captain Harlem is guarded by him. Unless in extremely special circumstances, don't go up."
“And here…”
Luo Lin followed Uncle Guva all the way through the patrol, and soon he understood the layout of the villa, including the situation on the third floor, because Uncle Guva said that the layout of the third floor is similar to that of the second floor.
After a patrol, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. It was dark and it was dinner time. Although it was a little earlier, Luo Lin was hungry. Uncle Guva took Luo Lin to the restaurant for dinner with him in a considerate manner.
There are several restaurants in the villa, including guards, servants, and Dai Wei's special ones.
Luo Lin is the guard. His dining room is in the side hall on the first floor of the villa. The side hall is not big, with a long table placed in it, and wooden benches are on both sides of the table.
Luo Lin and Guwa came a little early. Before the meal was served, Luo Lin said, "Uncle, I'm very hungry, go to the kitchen to urge me."
"Whatever you want." Uncle Geva nodded and still sat on the bench and waited patiently.
Rollin came out of the restaurant and just entered the passage, he saw two servants coming over with food, a large pot of potato stewed soup and a pot of cheese.
Seeing the servant lady holding the steaming soup pot with difficulty, Rolin immediately stepped forward and said, "Auntie, I'll help you."
"Hey, don't bother..."
Luo Lin snatched the soup pot from the other party without saying a word, and then smiled and said, "No trouble, no trouble, I'm so hungry, I'll take it first."
Seeing that he looked extremely hungry, the servant couldn't help laughing: "Go and go, let's see, you're hungry."
The young man has a lot of appetite and is not hungry, so she understands it.
Rollin ran into the restaurant with a soup pot. Half the way, he poured half of the mandarin duck water into the soup, and the other half just in case, because he didn't know if Harin's food was the same as them.
When Rollin arrived at the restaurant, he knew he was worried because Harin was also here and was waiting for the meal to start.
After a while, the cheese arrived, and each guard was divided into a piece, plus a pot of stewed broth, which was dinner. Harlem ate almost the same as the other guards, but it was still different. His cheese was covered with delicious butter and a fried steak, but he drank the same stewed broth.
More than twenty minutes later, the guards finished their meal. Luo Lin looked at Harlem carefully and saw that his face became rosy, and the same was true for other guards. This was the sign that would show after drinking the Yuanyang Water, because this potion could make people's bloodlines relax. If there was no medicine, it would even be a tonic.
"Rollin, I guess Wag has already brought you into the villa. You and Warrington will be on duty in the middle of the night tonight." Harling ordered the mission.
Luo Lin was stunned. It was relatively difficult to be on duty at night. He was a newcomer on the first day... He was alert and thought of a possibility that the assassination would happen tonight, and he was also a member of the assassination!
"Rolin, do you have any problems?" Harlem felt dissatisfied when he saw that Rolin had not responded for a long time.
"Yes, captain." Luo Lin responded. If there is really an assassination tonight, then this arrangement is just right for him!
