Philosopher's Stone, Alchemist, Goblin... Guy was as stunned as if he was struck by lightning. The only time he came into contact with the so-called alchemy was in the sewers of an abandoned industrial park, where he saw goblins extracting minerals from herbs.
The essence uses a glass extraction device made of a heater. I heard Arthur say that he had been to Nozil City, the only goblin city in the Southern Continent, and had seen many daily potions there, which was also the so-called alchemy.
Before leaving the venue, Nice and Guy explained why goblins like potions. Goblins' bodies are more suitable for liquids, so they extract less powders and solids. For different tastes, they even add sweeteners, that is, sedge.
sweet-containing plants to transform the taste.
After shocking Guy, Nice left alone. According to her, as a planner, she needed to make some preparations to face the coming danger. At this moment, Guy was left alone, and Guy was at a loss.
What should I do? Porcario has also contacted him. Why don't he go to Baron Cali, who has the veto power of the city council? Or continue to monitor the clown? It's better to be on standby. Guy thought this way. I don't know.
After a few more minutes of sleep, even the main entrance to welcome guests was closed again due to the heavy rain, and the humidity was being dispersed with enthusiasm in the hall. More guests than at noon were greeting each other, and guests with interesting contacts gathered in groups.
Together, the whole place formed several groups in twos and threes, while Guy remained in the corner of the pillar.
Longnis, who had not appeared for a long time, appeared from a distance and came to Guy's side. She seemed to have doubts about Guy's identity. After looking at him for a while, she asked aloud: "Are you Guy? Where did you get it?"
A set of waiter clothes?"
Guy, who was recalling what Nisi said about the Son of God resurrecting the Mother Goddess, was not paying attention to Long Nisi. When he noticed Long Nisi who turned her head to look at him, Guy took a few steps back and hit the wall hard.
.He shouted in horror:
"Lonnis! You should make a sound. It's scary to approach without making any sound!"
"I called you several times, but you looked thoughtful and ignored me. What happened? Your expression was terrifying. You only looked like this when Elus left."
"I...did you know that the wizards from the God-server also appeared in the auditorium?"
"Those bad wizards who want to kill Mr. Parrish? I heard from Mrs. Inno that the resurrection of the God of Life is also related to them. They are committed to resurrecting the former gods. I don't understand why they are so persistent. What did they say to you?
?"
"I will tell you and the rest of the Hermits after tonight when we are all safe and sound. I have learned some information that I don't know whether it is true or not."
"The dinner party is about to begin. Guy, please get ready. I have a very bad feeling about it."
…
On the balcony of the lounge on the second floor, Arthur threw aside the wet clothes and safely placed the unconscious waiter on the floral-scented mattress in the lounge. No matter what he saw on the roof of the rainstorm just now, the sense of danger
No less than the elves' arrows that can break the wind or the dwarves' giant cannons with a thousand-meter range.
Judging from their size, they seem to be orcs, but they are more threatening to ordinary orcs. Could they be synthetic beasts?
Arthur arranged the waiter's clothes, put on the waiter's mask and left the lounge, returning to where the red-skinned orcs were before. He happened to see the orc band reappearing, performing noble and melodious dance music, and everyone at the dinner party had already begun to dance.
It’s just that Livlan was not seen around the choir. George and Caterina were followed by young Tarim, who were leading the dance in the center of the dance floor, but George would look at Rastel and Bocario from time to time.
direction, and didn’t know what he was thinking about. Arthur continued to observe the environment. He had never seen the soldiers near the main entrance, and the people near the main entrance were members of the Bear Team of the Arbitration Institute. He had some encounters in the years when he was avoiding searches by the Arbitration Institute personnel.
As expected, there were vigilant law enforcement personnel standing at the key points connecting several auditoriums to the outside world. I hope they were people sent by Lin to keep watch.
Under the dazzling crystal lamppost, Arthur did not see the Sons of God in any direction, but someone had already noticed him. He was a man wearing a top hat, a black suit, a golden goatee, and eagle eyes.
He was tall and leaning on crutches, and slowly approached Arthur who was leaning on the inner balcony looking for members of the Sons of God. He asked majestically: "As a waiter, why would you lean here to rest at the beginning of the dinner?"
?"
Arthur slowly turned his head, wondering whether he should also knock the nobleman unconscious. Suddenly, Arthur noticed that the handkerchief hanging from the nobleman's upper pocket was engraved with the logo of Didis Company, the largest grain seller in Brighton City.
, could this be Baron Cali? Moreover, Longnis had told her in advance that Baron Cali did not like to bring bodyguards, but there must be a noble bodyguard within five meters of him, and Arthur could feel that he was resting on the other side.
Someone in the direction of the room was always staring at his back. Based on the above, Arthur carefully asked the man: "Are you Baron Cali?"
After his identity was exposed, Baron Cali's eagle eyes were firmly locked on Arthur, and his movement of holding the cane changed into a defensive posture. He was obviously a nobleman, but he brought a sense of crisis to Arthur. If Arthur took action rashly, the opponent would be
He can definitely counterattack himself in an instant. Moreover, Arthur noticed that Baron Cali pulled away the position of the cane's head slightly, and there was a silver-white thin sword inside. If he didn't have Sika in his hand, even if his recovery power was amazing, it would be difficult for him not to cause it.
Others pay attention to subdue Baron Cali. Moreover, among humans, Arthur has only felt this sense of oppression from Lagtis and Jace, and...the gangsters he once met in Dongsan Town. Gangsters
The personnel will not pose much threat to themselves, but they will have a strong sense of oppression. There is a street saying in Brighton City that you should never mess with a hungry madman.
Baron Cali noticed Arthur's eyes, put the rapier back into his cane, and stood in a safe position two meters away from Arthur and asked sternly: "Who are you?"
"I'm just a passerby, but I saw a lady attending a wedding being kidnapped in the storage room. I feel that this wedding will be dangerous, and I don't know who I can talk to who will believe it, sir.
Your expression tells me that you are a noble gentleman who is easy to talk to. I hope you can prepare the escort in front of the room over there. I am worried that someone will attack tonight's guests. Especially you, Baron Cali, you have control over
Brighton City's food supply chain, I suspect that the other party's goal is you." Arthur informed Baron Cali of the agreement he had made with Ronis in the lounge in advance. According to Ronis, Baron Cali was extremely rich.
He has a sense of justice and is one of the few nobles who does not reject the common people. However, he is arrogant by nature and is also an extreme solipsist when it comes to interests.
Baron Cali scanned Arthur with his eagle eyes, sneered, and was about to make a sarcastic comment. He didn't hate civilians, but he didn't think they were equal. But when Arthur mentioned the escorts who protected him from afar, ordinary people would definitely not feel it.
Baron Cali thought calmly after turning his eyes at the existence of the escort, and chose to continue communicating with Arthur: "You are definitely not a civilian. A civilian will not be so calm when seeing me. Your attitude makes me even suspect that you are a criminal, but
I won’t attack you now. I have important things tonight that I can’t let others disturb. You’d better not lie to me. The city council is the real master of this city. We have real power. I will notify the guards.
Team, if nothing happens tonight, you will be the one who does."
"Lord Baron, I know you don't believe me, but it's always a good thing to be prepared, isn't it? I'll go first, noble Lord Baron, and give you one last kind reminder, be careful of Rastel." Arthur bowed slightly.
He passed by Baron Cali: "Baron, I don't know what the identity behind you is. After all, I wouldn't be surprised that Brighton City has several special gangs now, but I think...
.You may be a gangster, right?”
The dark yellow pupils in Baron Cali's eagle eyes shrank slightly. As soon as he turned around, Arthur had disappeared from the second-floor viewing balcony. Two sturdy escorts approached Baron Cali at a trot: "Baron, that person just now needs us to find him."
come out?"
"No, you go and inform everyone that something may happen tonight. I'll go find those two reckless men, Lin and Bocaario."
"As commanded."
...
Arthur found Guy and Ronis in the corner. The two were eating dinner in hiding. The progress of the dinner had nothing to do with them.
"Please! Whatever you are doing, the Son of God may take action at any time. The quieter they are, the more worried I am!"
When Guy saw Arthur, he complained with a twist of his lips: "Why didn't you tell me about your change of plans! If I make a big announcement that I have a relic, whether it's true or not, the arbitration office and that clown will chop off my head!"
"
Arthur put his arm around Guy's shoulders in a friendly way: "You are a metal person! Your neck is very stiff, and the plan can't keep up with the changes. I couldn't tell you just now. We didn't wear a single collar button when we went out this time. Okay.
, let me tell you one thing first, don’t be angry, we have to temporarily cooperate with the people who serve the gods."
Longnis and Guy did not show any signs of panic, but continued to chew on the leg of lamb, which made Arthur at a loss. There has always been a conflict between the God-servers and the Hermits. The root of the conflict was that the God-servers wanted to kill
Dead Parrish, Parrish has been committed to using the relics of the old gods to bring wizards onto the stage of history. If the old gods are resurrected, it will be a great threat to the hermits. Arthur originally thought that Longnis and Guy would be vigorous in this cooperation.
Objection, their silence was completely unexpected.
"What don't you two say? That's a servant of God."
Longnis dismissed it. As an aristocratic lady, she sat on the base of the pillar and gnawed on the leg of lamb regardless of her image. I heard that recently she went to the forest to hunt in order to exercise her elemental power. She behaved when no one was paying attention.
She showed her wild side, which was completely different from the artificiality when Arthur first met her. Longnis said: "Guy has already met the people from the God-server, but there is bad news. That Rand from the God-server
I'm a little out of control. It's already very difficult to deal with Kama. The only one who can help us is the little girl."
"Have you seen Nice?" Arthur asked Guy with his eyes, and then sighed: "I didn't want to rely on Randall at first. There are people from the Arbitration Institute in such a small space, and no matter how powerful the wizard is, there is nothing he can do.
Get away intact."
Guy finished eating the leg of lamb and wiped the oil stains clean with a handkerchief: "Arthur, just now the clown was staring at me from a distance, and now he is gone too."
"Well, I know, I have notified both Lin and Baron Cali, and it's too late for the remaining Bocario..."
Guy patted his chest: "I informed Pokario, what should we do next?"
"You actually... Guy, I really think it's great to have you! Now all we can do is get as close as possible to my brother, George. And then adapt accordingly. According to Nisi, we are in the middle among the three parties, but
In fact, she did not consider the people of the Arbitration Law Enforcement Team. She took it for granted that wizards have a higher combat level than humans. In fact, our biggest threat has always been the people of the Arbitration Law Enforcement Team." Arthur glanced at the center of the dance floor.
George and Catalina were still dancing, and Tarim beside him had put on military protective armor at some point. Arthur specifically reminded Li Qi and Brynn to keep an eye on Tarim, so they were naturally near Tarim.
While Arthur was talking about his relationship with Guy, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Ronis, who had regained her dignity after eating the leg of lamb, was still squinting and looking up at the gorgeous crystal chandelier above her head.
Arthur was deeply surprised: "Lonnis, what's wrong?"
"There seems to be something above the lamp..."
Arthur followed Longnis' eyes and saw that there was indeed a small black shadow in the center of the exquisite lamp as Longnis said. Arthur also squinted his eyes: "It seems to be...a small rectangular box."
.."
As soon as Arthur finished speaking, a loud noise and fire exploded, and the entire auditorium was plunged into screams and darkness. The three wizards Arthur, Guy, and Ronis who were close to the crystal lamppost were blown away by the shock wave of the explosion, and their clothes were thrown away.
Several holes were burned by the fire, and Arthur's dark, burnt left chest was covered in blood. A sharp piece of glass was deeply inserted there. Arthur, who was suffering from tinnitus, slowly got up and struggled to reach George and Catlin.
