miss mist go with the flow

Black Crow didn't wear a mask this time, and showed his face openly.

Helen didn't bring any guards with her, and she changed into a water-blue dress with fluttering satin. She didn't know how she managed to pass through the dense forest without messing up her appearance.

"Why did you two come here together?" Amy glanced at Black Crow, then at Helen, feeling that the atmosphere between the two was strangely familiar.

"Liv has some things to do. I'll ask Black Crow to be my temporary guard." Helen took the initiative to take the topic, focused her eyes on Amy, and showed a soft smile.

Last night, she and Vivian shared the same bed. When reminiscing about the old days, she tried to reveal the identities of Amy and Sirin, but she didn't expect that Vivian, who has always been careless, would defend her in every possible way, but refused to tell the truth.

This made Helen more interested, and it was basically certain that the true body of the mist was between these two.

Amy just asked politely, and didn't care about the answers of the two of them. When she welcomed them into the room and sat down, Sirin had already made tea and brought them over.

The tea bags and tea sets are all high-end products purchased through the chamber of commerce. The water used to make tea comes from forest streams, which is clean and pure. Combining the two, the tea is fragrant and tastes good.

Helen took a sip, feeling very surprised, and praised: "Miss Xilin's tea art is really amazing!"

Sirin shrugged, noncommittal.

Amy pinched her fingers and pouted to herself, the words sounded weird, like she was scolding someone.

"Moonflowers only bloom on moonlit nights, counting the flowering period, which is these few days." Amy took the initiative to pick up the topic, "You guys have traveled a long distance, take a rest first, we will start later."

Helen nodded slightly, put down her teacup, and said, "Miss Amy, have you lived in the forest for a long time, have you dealt with that legendary beast?"

"Huh?" Amy snorted without giving a specific answer.

"I still need to find the Cangfang Beast." Helen said, "But according to the replies from the mercenaries, that legendary beast will take the initiative to protect the Cangfang Beast. If we don't negotiate with it, I'm afraid we won't be able to achieve our goal."

Amy raised her eyebrows, "Are you so confident in me and Sirin? It's a legendary monster. If we're not careful, we'll all die."

Helen said: "I just need to collect the blood of some Cangtusk beasts, and I won't kill them. If there is a reasonable negotiation and compensation, there should be a chance."

Ami smiled, "Moonflower petals, the blood of the Cangfang Beast, among the potion ingredients you need, there won't be the saliva of a high elf like me?"

When she said this, Amy parted her hair to reveal her long ears, and shook playfully.

The surprise on Helen's face was just right, and she said eagerly: "It turns out that Miss Amy is an elf, that's really great! Are you really willing to provide me with some saliva? I can buy it with money, or barter. accept!"

Amy knocked on the table, "I don't know where you found the recipe for the Spring of Resuscitation, but in your recipe, it doesn't seem to mention that the blood of the Cangfang Beast must be juvenile. Adult Cangfang Beast The magic power of the dark attribute element contained in the blood is too high, which will degrade the reaction of other potion materials, thus affecting the quality of the potion..."

These contents are clearly stated in Amy's mind in the "recipe that monkeys can easily refine the fountain of recovery after reading it".

Helen froze for a moment when she heard her words, obviously, she didn't know about it.

"The most important thing is that the Fountain of Recovery is a potion used to heal trauma, and it has little effect on physical diseases." Amy directly picked up the topic, "According to the current rumors, Your Excellency is ill and is bedridden , why is there an urgent need for potions to treat trauma?"

Volume 38: Chapter [-] Straight Hook Fishing

Amy's question caused Helen to fall into a brief silence. She thought for a few seconds, then looked at the black crow beside her, and then said: "I didn't expect Miss Amy to be a master of pharmacy, to be honest , my father is indeed not sick in bed, but suffered a very special injury."

Helen looked into Amy's eyes and said in a deep voice, "If Miss Amy is interested, I can tell you."

She was betting, betting on Vivian's respect for Amy, and betting on her own judgment.

These two forest witches are mysterious and powerful. If they can get their help, they should be able to save their father from danger.

Amy likes to listen to stories, so she gestured, "Please tell me."

Helen said: "The reason why we concealed the truth and searched for the medicine secretly was not to cause panic among the people. The person who stabbed my father was the killer of dissonance."

"Discord?"

Amy was a little puzzled, and Sirin also said that she had never heard of this name, but Black Crow's face became serious, and asked her friend in a low voice: "Why didn't you tell me such important news?"

Helen shook Black Crow's wrist as a sign of comfort, and then said to Amy: "Miss Amy has lived in the deep forest for a long time, and it is normal that she has never heard of dissonance. This is an underground secret organization that suddenly appeared more than ten years ago. , its organizational structure is similar to that of a cult, its members acted in extreme madness and committed many crimes."

"The worst incident was that the Voice of Discord wrapped a town of tens of thousands of people with a magic barrier, destroying and killing it wantonly. By the time the nearby lords received the news and rushed over, the members of the Voice of Discord had already left , there is not a single resident in that town, and there are less than 50 survivors in the end."

Black Crow went on to say: "Imperial officials have long identified Discord as a vicious organization, and have sent people to clear it up several times, but only a few middle-level leaders have been caught. These captured people are very determined, and tortured I didn’t spit out valuable information, so I couldn’t find out the culprit behind the scenes and completely destroy Discord.”

Sirin frowned, "Such a vile secret organization, the imperial officials have not been able to completely eliminate it for more than ten years?"

"Unfortunately." Black Crow shrugged and said, "However, the official encirclement and suppression operations are not ineffective. In recent years, the dissonance has almost disappeared, and there have been no major disturbances."

Helen took a sip of the hot tea and continued, "My father was attacked three months ago."

"I didn't suspect Discord at the time. Later, when the wound got worse, my father asked a doctor to come and treat him. He found a special poison in the wound. After comparison, it was the same type of poison used by Discord."

"Curse poison?" Amy was puzzled, "Who told you that the Spring of Recovery has the effect of dispelling curse poison?"

Helen was stunned for a moment, and it took several seconds to react, "The Fountain of Resuscitation is an advanced potion, can't it dispel the poison of the curse?"

Amy shook her head, "The poison of the curse involves the field of black magic. As far as I know, although the Fountain of Recovery is very effective in healing wounds, it does not have the effect of dispelling magic curses."

Her answer made Helen fall into a deeper silence, the expression on the girl's face changed several times, it seemed a little unbelievable, and it took a while before she spoke: "The doctor who treated my father said that there was a similar curse that entered the body before. The case was cured by the Spring of Resuscitation... He is an old friend of my father and has a close relationship with the Jin Qiangwei family, so he will never harm my father."

"To be honest, if the Spring of Recovery can really heal your father's injury, you don't need to pick moonflowers." Amy turned her palm over, and there was a glazed medicine bottle in her palm, which contained a transparent color. "I still have some potions in stock, I can give you a bottle as a reward for guiding the way yesterday."

Amy can accompany Helen to find Yuejianhua, and she doesn't mind bleeding Xiaofenpang, but Amy really doesn't want to give away spittle.

Those that have been smelted into potions are not counted.

Moreover, she was keenly aware that there was something inside the lord's injury that even Helen didn't know about.

Digging out the truth of hidden things and satisfying one's own curiosity is something that no one can refuse.

I'm curious.jpg

Helen looked at the Fountain of Recovery in Amy's palm, and with the sense of mystery Amy showed, it wouldn't be too surprising to take out the finished potion.

As a master of pharmacy (Helen's subjective judgment, Amy did not admit it), Amy said that the Spring of Recovery could not dispel the poison, and there was a disagreement with the doctor's uncle.

Who should she trust?

The doctor and his father have been good friends for many years, so there is no need to deceive his father; Amy is a forest witch, who does not go out all year round, and does not even know the sound of dissonance, so it is impossible to have conflicts with their family, and it is not possible to lie to her...

Helen was very confused, and at this moment, Sirin suddenly said, "Miss Helen, your father was injured by the curse of Dissonance, has this matter been reported to the Imperial Capital?"

"It has already been reported, and the imperial capital also sent an investigation team, but they found nothing." Helen said helplessly, "Those guys from Dissonance are too good at hiding."

"The imperial capital is full of talents, and you can definitely find a mage who can disperse the poison. With the status and financial resources of the Jin Qiangwei family, can't you invite them to help?" Sirin said, "Even if you can't invite them, go and report the matter to His Majesty the Emperor. Can the emperor just sit back and watch?"

These two sentences triggered Helen's thinking again. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that Sirin's words made sense.

She was also distracted by her father's serious injury, so she ignored such an obvious problem.

"Let me think about it carefully."

Helen put down her teacup, closed her eyes, and began to sort out the events of the past few months in her mind.

About half a year ago, a fine iron ore vein was accidentally discovered on Mount Lamo in the southwest of Golden Rose Territory. The ore was of high quality, and the burial was not too deep, so it was easy to dig.

Her lord father attaches great importance to this matter, after all, iron ore is a very important resource.

After my father invited naturalists to survey the site for the second time, he decided to recruit miners, build mine tunnels, and mine ores. He also signed several business contracts with the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce for the sale of ores.

Three months ago, the mine tunnel was completed, the miners were in place, and my father went to inspect it.

Helen did not go out with her father that day, but meditated and practiced at home as usual.Seeing her father come back injured, she found it inconceivable, and also realized that this matter was not simple.

The doctor said that the knife wound on my father's body was only a trivial matter, and the curse attached to the wound was the intractable trouble, which may be related to the discordant voice that had been silent for several years.

Father reported the matter to the Imperial Capital, and the Imperial Capital investigation team arrived quickly. They only stayed in the territory for three days before leaving in a hurry. Naturally, they found nothing.

Later, time seemed to be sped up. Father's injury deteriorated rapidly, and he fell into a coma. Sometimes he was awake, and sometimes he was in a coma. The affairs in the territory were all handled by the two elder brothers.

The doctor found Helen alone, had a secret discussion with her, took out the formula of the fountain of recovery, and told her that the fountain of recovery could dispel the curse and cure her father.

So Helen went to ask the naturalist Dekain for help, spent a lot of money to buy information about Cangfang Beast and Moonflower from him, and then hired mercenaries to go to the foggy forest...

The whole thing seemed abnormal from the moment his father was attacked.

Father's inspection of the mining area was decided on a temporary basis. He is a lord, so he doesn't have to attend that occasion, and he can send an official to handle it.

The investigation team from the imperial capital came very quickly, but they left too hastily, as if they didn't want to get involved in this matter at all.

The doctor sent her to search for potion ingredients. Her father knew about it but did not stop her. He just told her to put safety first and not to get involved in dangerous situations.

The two elder brothers began to fight for power and profit, and the conflicts in the leadership of Jin Qiangwei quickly intensified. Local forces stood in line one after another, but many things did not seem to be completely out of control...

Helen thought for a long time, and a flash of inspiration came to her mind——

She took a long breath, picked up the teacup again, and took a sip of the still warm tea, feeling a sense of relief that she had never felt in the past few months.

Straight hook fishing, willing to take the bait.

If the water is muddied, the guy hiding in the dark will be willing to surface.

Based on her understanding of the old father, he was probably afraid of her cleverness, so he found an errand that she couldn't refuse, and sent her out of the manor, away from the center of the incident.

But my father probably didn't expect that she could find the materials of the Fountain of Recovery so quickly, and even get the finished potion directly.

The play still has to go on, and the stage cannot be dismantled too early.

After trying to understand these things, Helen felt clear in her heart. She smiled and said, "Miss Amy, this bottle of potion is too precious, I can't take it, you should take me to find Moon Flower."

Amy put away the potion and picked up the teacup, "You seem to have figured out something."

Helen said: "There are some conjectures that cannot be completely confirmed, but they should be very close to the truth. The difference lies in who was kept in the dark and who jumped out of the fence."

Amy was noncommittal. She took a sip of tea and suddenly thought of a question: "Could Dissonance have something to do with the Gospel Church? These two names seem to be related."

Helen didn't speak, but the black crow answered first.

"It's true that there used to be a popular theory that Dissonance was founded by traitors from the evangelical church, but there's no real evidence for that."

"Many of the extreme teachings of Dissonance seem to be aimed at the evangelical teachings of the evangelical church. Some scholars have done a comparative analysis. I remember it was published in issue 1008 of the Mage Monthly." Helen said, "I once After reading that article, I have some impressions, but it’s been a long time, and I can’t accurately repeat the content.”

Ami curled her lips. In a sense, this Mage Monthly is like an encyclopedia publication, and it covers a wide range of content.

"The two organizations did not respond positively to this question, but there should be a connection." Helen added, "The specific situation requires more detailed information to make a judgment."

Volume 39: Chapter [-] The Evangelical Church

In the depths of Badwater Swamp, there was a gurgling sound in the black mire.

Ring-shaped ripples appeared in the mud-water mixture, and a black-gray bone hand stretched out from the whirlpool.

Immediately afterwards, other bone parts also slowly emerged from the mud, and assembled together by themselves to form a complete human-shaped skeleton.

There is silence in the depths of the swamp, there is no chirping of birds and insects, let alone the roar of wild animals, and even the wind is unwilling to blow into this dirty and stinking place.

A human-shaped skeleton lay in the center of the ripples, sparks slowly gathered in its hollow eye sockets, and after an unknown amount of time, it finally grew to the point where it could be called a flame.

Gaba Gaba.

The skeleton moved its body and walked out of the quagmire.

Soul flames danced in the eye sockets, getting hotter and hotter.

It held hands and raised its head as if looking up at the sky. After a long time, it looked for a certain direction and stepped out with bone paws.

Click click.

The bone undead walked out of the silent quagmire, and its actions attracted the attention of the swamp monsters. A gray-brown iron-backed lizard approached quietly, rushed out and slammed into the skeleton frame.

The sluggish human-shaped skeleton reacted extremely quickly at this time. It staggered to avoid the impact of the iron-backed lizard, and a black shadow was wrapped around its bone hand, and it slapped on the back of the iron-backed lizard.

When encountering a magic attack, the heavy defense of the iron-backed lizard became a joke. It rushed over its head, and before it had time to flick its tail to adjust its posture, its body suddenly exploded from the inside, turning into pieces of meat.

The human-shaped skeleton was stained with animal blood, it froze again, and after a few seconds, it walked into the puddle of minced meat.

The blood and flesh surged, the animal blood and pieces of meat on the ground disappeared, and a layer of flesh and skin appeared on the human-shaped skeleton.

It's just that this body is made of iron-backed lizard, visually it looks extremely rough gray-black, and the skeleton frame has only evolved to the level of a scorched corpse.

And the face is still a blur, and the facial features are all horrible holes.

Looting a body of flesh and blood, the "burned corpse" continued to walk towards the periphery of Badwater Swamp.

Where it passed, you can often see piles of bones, all of which are still sleeping undead.

The scorched corpse did not wake up these companions, it was obsessed with going to the world outside the swamp.
