Allen listened to Gangke's report with a livid face and asked: "Athena really said that that human being is her friend?"
Gang Ke replied with lingering fear: "Yes, General! Many soldiers saw it at that time, and Lady Athena also drew a sword on me in front of everyone. I almost lost my life."
"Damn human being! What does Athena see in him?" Allen said through gritted teeth, feeling jealous. Athena never showed false feelings towards him, the Sheriff, and didn't even look at him.
, and now he actually calls that human whom he just met a short time ago his friend and stands up for him, which is simply intolerable.
"Okay, Gang Ke, you can go down." Another faint voice sounded in the hall.
"Yes, Sir Joseph." Gunk's awe for this man was no less than that of his immediate boss, Allen. He bowed and retreated.
"My friend, I really don't know what it is about that savage woman that makes you so obsessed. If you want women, just grab a lot of them. Do you want me to give you some top-quality succubus slaves?" Joseph asked.
He drank a glass of wine and spoke slowly.
Joseph has a human appearance, and he should be of mutated blood. He looks elegant and calm, which is completely different from Allen's violent warrior temperament.
"Huh, no need." Allen snorted coldly, "Aren't you also interested in the eldest princess? It's just that although Her Highness Shia is beautiful, she is an iceberg and has no interest at all. I don't understand why you
like her?"
Stupid things, my preferences are different from yours! Joseph sneered in his heart, his face still calm and calm: "Just like you, everyone has different hobbies. I just returned to Darkmoon City, I don't know yet
What is the origin of that human named Chen Rui?"
"He's just a waste with incredible luck!" Allen gritted his teeth and said: "This human fell into the demon world about ten days ago and was captured by the soldiers. During the interrogation, he was named Arthur. He was a nobleman with no fighting ability. At that time,
He was taken away by Master Aldas as a test drug, but after a few days, he miraculously became Aldas's apprentice, and his identity was publicly recognized by His Highness Shia. I don't know what is attractive about this guy, Ah
Xina and the little princess go to him almost every day."
Joseph thought for a while and said: "In this way, his biggest reliance is the attention of the dark elf master. I know very well about the little princess. She is just curious. The eldest princess probably did this to win over Aldas.
Do it. It’s just that Aldas can’t protect himself now and will leave Darkmoon City soon. By then this human being has lost its value. Even if you want to chop him into seven or eight pieces, the eldest princess will not stop you.
.”
"With the help of the man from the imperial capital, Aldas will definitely lose." Allen turned from anger to joy, nodded, and raised his glass to Joseph: "You are right, come and have a drink!"
In the Aldas laboratory in the outer courtyard of the palace, after Alice and the three girls left, only Aldas and Chen Rui were left in the laboratory. The little boogeyman who was good at observing words and emotions saw that the master was in a bad mood and retreated early in the morning.
Aldas took out thick books one after another, including "Refining Essentials", "Commonly Used Potion Formulas", "Poison Supplement"...
"Chen Rui, these books are given to you." The dark elf sighed, "In the future, when I am not with you, you must study hard. Although you have the inheritance of a great master, there is no end to your learning and you will never achieve anything.
Be lazy. As long as you keep working hard, one day your achievements will shock the entire devil world."
Chen Rui was shocked: "Master, what happened? Where are you going?"
"I will probably leave Darkmoon City." Aldas shook his head, looking gloomy for a while, and told the reason.
The demon world respects the strong. Not only power, competition in all fields is extremely fierce. The rules of the pharmacy world are relatively unique. If you want to become a pharmacy master, there are two ways. The first is to go to the Pharmacist Alliance in the Imperial Capital.
Pass a series of complex assessments, including accurately dispensing the highest grade white potion within the specified time, and must be approved by at least two masters.
The second is to directly challenge the already famous master under the witness of the Pharmacist Alliance. If successful, he will be directly promoted to the master level. The failed master will be deprived of his master status and exiled for three years. He can challenge or take the assessment again after three years.
Master level. If the challenger refuses to accept the challenge, it will be directly regarded as a failure.
However, the challenger is not without risks and needs to stake a huge amount of wealth. Once the challenge fails, the wealth will belong to the master and he will not be allowed to challenge again within three years.
Chen Rui understood that it was just like gambling. Aldas went on to explain that money is very important to pharmacists because alchemy is a costly subject. Whether it is pharmacy or device making, it requires a lot of money.
Financial support. Even if you take the alchemist level test or study with an alchemist, you still have to pay a high fee. Therefore, ordinary alchemists will seek support from forces with financial resources and work for them.
Chen Rui secretly thought that in comparison, it was too easy for him to become a free apprentice.
Aldas himself was heavily in debt due to financial problems and was looked down upon. After failing to take the Master Level examination in a desperate attempt, he went bankrupt and almost lost confidence in life. It was at this most desolate time that Aldas met the eldest princess Xi
Shia was only sixteen years old at the time and had just taken over Darkmoon City. However, she had a keen eye for people and provided valuable funds to Aldas. After Aldas became the master, he reciprocated the favor and resolutely refused the invitation of the Imperial Capital and stayed there.
Serve Shia in Darkmoon City.
Chen Rui showed a clear look, no wonder the dark elf master has a sincere respect for Princess Shia.
Aldas sighed: "A few months ago, I received letters from Master Zola and Master Kemp in the Imperial Capital one after another. The letters promised huge profits and persuaded me to join the Regent Obsidian, but I flatly refused. Today the pharmacist said
The Alliance's Imperial City branch suddenly sent a magic message, and Sandru, the pharmacist in the Imperial City, formally challenged me. Now the two master pharmacists and Sandru are on their way to Darkmoon City, and will arrive in two days."
If you don't eat the toast, the penalty drink will come as expected.
Aldas is Shia's right-hand man. If he is defeated and exiled, the reputation of the Dark Moon Territory and Shia's strength will be greatly damaged. Obviously, this is a means for the Obsidian Prince to weaken Princess Shia's power.
The Imperial Capital is far away from Darkmoon City. Even if you take the fastest flying beast, it will take nearly a month to travel. However, the magic transmission has only arrived at Aldas now. It seems that the other party is deliberately trying to catch him by surprise.
"Master, no matter what the opponent's plan is, strength is the only thing that speaks for itself in the end," Chen Rui thought for a while and said, "As long as you defeat that Sandro, the opponent's plan will fail and you will lose a lot of wealth.
.”
"Of course I understand this. The problem is that I am no match for Sandro." Aldas smiled bitterly and said: "Sandro is the most outstanding pharmaceutical genius in the empire. When I was evaluating pharmacists, he already had the empire.
The title of the number one genius pharmacist. Moreover, this person had master-level strength early on, and even many masters respected him. It is said that he once swore an oath that if he did not develop the most powerful poison, he would never join the master's program.
The assessment. Now he came to challenge me. On the one hand, he was ordered by the regent. On the other hand, he may have made a major breakthrough in developing new poisons. He planned to use me as a victim to advance to the master. Just now I was in the council hall with the chief.
The princess discussed it for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution."
Chen Rui tried to ask: "Master, if you contact Sandru immediately and say that you are willing to serve Prince Obsidian, can this challenge be avoided?"
Aldas shook his head resolutely and said: "Since I rejected Prince Obsidian's solicitation at the beginning, I will not accept it now. Although we dark elves don't talk about integrity, tolerance and other hypocrisy, we remember kindness most, and I will never accept it.
I will betray His Highness Shia, even if I am exiled for three years, I will do my best to become a master again and continue to serve His Highness."
However, since Prince Obsidian is determined to deal with Shia, it is hard to say whether Aldas can save his life during his exile. Even if the dark elf is lucky enough to survive and regain the glory of the master, in three years, it would have been
Will the precarious Darkmoon City still be under Shia's control?
Even Chen Rui has thought of this, and Aldas must be aware of it.
Aldas didn't say any more and continued to clean up the potions and books, preparing to leave at any time.
Chen Rui did not help Aldas clean up, but frowned and said nothing. Aldas was very rigorous in academics. Although he was a bit cunning like a dark elf, he had no reservations when instructing him in pharmacy, and there was no so-called racial discrimination. At the same time,
This master is also Chen Rui's best protective umbrella to the outside world. No matter whether it is for others or for yourself, you must try to help him.
Also, now that the launch progress of the super system has stalled, Sandro's new poison may not be an opportunity...
While pondering, a bold plan gradually took shape in Chen Rui's mind.
"Master, wait! Don't be pessimistic too early. We may not lose yet. If my plan succeeds..." After Chen Rui thought about it carefully, he smiled and said, "Perhaps, we can discuss that huge amount of wealth in a relaxed manner first.
distribution problem."
These words made Aldas pause, and his gloomy eyes suddenly widened.
At this time, in the Dark Moon Territory, under the circumstances of someone who was interested, the news spread like wildfire two days later that the imperial capital's pharmacy genius Sandru officially challenged Master Aldas, and the entire Dark Moon was discussing this important event.
Two days passed quickly, and just like the time for the magic message, a group of people from the Imperial Capital appeared outside Dark Moon City on time.
