Chapter 30 Four dead and one wounded
Chapter 30 Four deaths and one injury
With the joint cooperation between the therapist and the water mage, the toxins in Alex's body were temporarily suppressed. He used trophism to stimulate vitality in the body, enhance the body's resistance, and use resistance to resist the erosion of toxins.
But this is just a way to cure the symptoms but not the root cause. The most fundamental thing is to find out the source of the toxins and find the antidote. Magicians are the most knowledgeable group in the world, but the mages from the two major academies of Belkin and Frederick who joined forces to recognize what the poison was in Alex.
The attack between Alex and Delius also alarmed the royal family. The great magicians are the top of the entire magic power system. They are not only a mage, but also a manifestation of a country's magic power.
There were only three great magicians in the Frederick Empire. Once Deliushe died, the power of the empire's high-end mages was eliminated by one, which was a major loss to the empire.
What's even more troublesome is that Alex is injured. The senior mages from other countries are injured in their own country. This is a major diplomatic matter and can even trigger conflicts between the two countries. If Alex died in Frederick, the Bell Empire would definitely not give up easily.
The remaining two of the three great magicians represented the royal family visiting Alex and brought a total of a thousand royal knights to protect Alex's safety. However, even these two great magicians could not recognize the poison in Alex.
Alex's injury was temporarily stable. In order not to affect his rest, most of the irrelevant people were invited out. Only two were left in the room, Alagang and Gris.
It was not until this moment that Gris finally found a chance to speak.
"This is the poison of burning heart fruit." Burning words appeared in the air.
"Do you know this poison?" Alex, who was leaning weakly on the bed, looked shocked.
"Trut knows." Gris wrote.
Alex knew that it was the name of the Magic Armor, and after thinking about it, he glanced at Alakang.
Alagang frowned and thought for a while, shook his head, and remembered that they had never heard of the poison of burning heart pot.
It was not until Gris recounted the origin and symptoms of the heartburn fruit that Alex and the others realized that the poison of love came from the abyss world, no wonder they didn't know each other.
Alex summoned the old housekeeper and asked him to check Deliushi's body to see if the blood in the wound was dry. Deliushi's wound was exactly at the heart. You can see the heart by pushing the wound apart.
Not long after, the old housekeeper came to pay his respects. The blood in Deliushi's body had indeed dried up, and his heart seemed to have been burned by fire, and it turned into coke.
Alex's expression turned up, and a bunch of poisons that even the learned magicians could not recognize made Gris recognize, so that he could prescribe the right medicine.
According to Trutt's knowledge, there are two types of drugs that can relieve the poison of the heartburn, one is the legendary ambergris that can relieve all poisons, and the other is the ivy that is attached to the poisonous tree.
Ambergris is a plant that is watered by the saliva of the dragon. It usually only grows in the habitat of the dragon and is very rare. It is simply a life-threatening action to pick ambergris in the dragon's nest. Even if you can be lucky enough to enter the dragon's nest and not die, you may not be lucky enough to find ambergris, so basically, it is a treasure that is hard to come by.
Compared with ambergris, rejuvenation ivy is more common. Basically, rejuvenation ivy can be found in places where there are poisonous trees. This is a plant that grows on the poisonous tree. It grows around the poisonous tree, and it pierces the root system into the trunk to absorb nutrients until the poisonous tree is absorbed and died, but it sprouts on the withered trunk. This is also the origin of the name rejuvenation ivy.
Because it survives by absorbing the juice of the poisonous tree, the rejuvenating ivy is actually a highly toxic plant that seals the throat when it comes to blood. However, it is precisely because of its toxicity-absorbing properties that fresh rejuvenating ivy can filter the toxicity in the blood, which is particularly effective for the use of the cranium incinerator on the blood.
"Fresh Ivy?" Alagang once heard of the plant of Rejuvenation Ivy. It is usually bought by thieves and assassins as poisons. No one wants the fresh Rejuvenation Ivy.
"Go, go to the Thieves Guild, Mercenary Guild, and Alchemy Association to find all the news about fresh ivy, and offer a reward of a lot of money." Alagang called an escort at the door and solemnly ordered.
"Let someone send the news back to the country, so as not to worry, explain the situation here clearly, and do not cause unnecessary disputes." Alex, who is in a high position, was not just his own body, said weakly.
After saying this, Alex looked a little sad, probably thinking of the dead Deliushi.
Gris stood beside the bed, staring silently at the air in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
On the night when Alex was attacked, he was still awake under the stimulation of nourishing techniques, but by the next morning, he was stunned.
In his busy schedule, Alagang returned to Frederick's Magic Academy and arraigned the assassin who beat Gris out of the way. He tried to find the antidote from the assassin, but the dark dwarf who was awakened by cold water stared at Alagang with two almost all white eyes, making some weird laughter, and then foamed at him and died of blueness.
In order to prevent the assassin from committing suicide by serving poison, before awakening the assassin, Alagang had already turned over the other party's mouth. There was no poison in it. Unexpectedly, he died. Obviously, the poison was not hidden in his mouth.
Alagang, who was too regretful, had no choice but to hope that the information from major guilds would be sent back, hoping that there would be fresh news about the Ivy.
Until the next night, the major guilds of the Frederick Empire feedbacked the information, and the Bell Empire also sent domestic information through magical communication. Without exception, there was no ready-made fresh ivy.
The only way now is to send people to pick them on site where ivy may grow.
Alagang immediately led the team himself and dispatched 30 guards from the academy team that came to participate, plus all the mentors, and left the Imperial City on the morning of the third day to the Mist Forest in the north of Frederick. This forest is the source of 90% of the poison of rejuvenation ivy on the market, and fresh rejuvenation ivy should be found.
At this time, no longer care about the magic exchange conference. The students sent by the academy will be escorted back to China by the remaining guards within the next few days.
This decision was very correct. On the third day of Alex's assassination, that is, the afternoon when Alagang led his team to Li Tian, another assassination frenzy was set off again. Three great magicians were assassinated at the same time, two were killed and one was injured, and three assassins died and one escaped.
Because of the magic exchange conference, the Empire City gathered the most powerful magicians in the pan-continent. Three of the five major academies alone sent great magician-level mages to support the formation. In addition to the dead Deliushu, the other two great magicians in the Frederick Empire were also in the Imperial City at this moment.
With Alex and Delius, during this period, seven great magicians were in the Imperial City, but in just three days, five wizards were assassinated, causing three deaths and two injuries. Both of them were poisoned by the burning heart fruit and were dying.
Such a serious incident shocked the entire human world. The attacks between Alex and Delius were thought to be an ordinary revenge incident. After all, they were friends for many years and had common adventures. Who knows who offended them?
But when three more ** masters were attacked, and the three mages belonged to different countries, did not have a deep friendship with each other, and the assassins were all dark dwarfs, everyone realized that things were not as simple as revenge.
This is a conspiracy against the human world. The power of five dark dwarf assassins can be dispatched at once. It will definitely not be the killer guild assassin groups in the human world. Only the Abyss World has this ability.
Why did the magical powerhouses in the Abyss World assassinate humans? Everyone was confused.
In fact, humans only have some very vague concepts in their impression of the Eight Hundred Abyss, and many of these concepts come from legends and myths, and even travel novels, which are incorrect and cannot be investigated.
After all, these are two different worlds. Except for some mages who practice space magic, they can freely travel between the two worlds. Therefore, if some abyss magic often breaks through the plane rifts and falls into the human world, I am afraid that humans would not know that such a world exists.
From the general term for the Eight Hundred Abyss, we can see that the abyss world is not one or two, but hundreds. Each abyss has different sizes and different environments, but without exception, it is a world with a very harsh living environment. The creatures born from this harsh environment are naturally very powerful.
Those abyss monsters that occasionally break into the human world, like animals and plants, that do not leave the normal range, are collectively called monsters. If they are two or three meters in diameter, like big eyeballs with tentacles around them, or are purely a ball of moving liquid, people will only describe them as monsters.
In short, there are all kinds of creatures in the abyss world, and there are all kinds of things.
Creatures like the dark gnomes actually have nothing to do with the gnomes in the human world, but they look as short and thin as gnomes, and just walk upright. Just looking at their hands, you can tell that their nails are sharp and can be used as weapons if they are put together. The assassinated mages were killed and injured under their nails.
The mages of the Imperial City were angry. Although the target of these assassins was temporarily concentrated on the great magicians, who knows whether their target was "only" on the great magicians? Everyone was in danger for a while.
There are five known assassins, four of which have died, and at least one or more are left. The angry and fearful mages joined forces to set up a detection system to monitor the whole city.
As mentioned before, because of the magic exchange conference, the Emperor City now gathers more than half of the advanced and above magicians from the Pan Continent, and the number below the intermediate level is also very large. When these people join forces, the entire Emperor City cannot even hide an ant.
The dark dwarf's stealth ability is indeed very strong, but with the joint efforts of many mages, he was quickly caught.
However, facing many angry mages, the assassin simply took poison and committed suicide.
The mages who were still worried searched the whole city again until they were sure that there was no assassin hidden. However, at this moment, the injured one among the three great magicians who were assassinated in the second wave was too late to rescue and the toxins entered their bodies too deep, and they finally couldn't hold on and died. At this point, among the five great magicians who were assassinated, only Alex was still alive.
Both the Frederick Empire and the Bell Empire used the greatest manpower and material resources to find the ivy and try to save Alex's life. This is no longer an ordinary assassination incident, but a serious political incident.
Among the five great magicians, except for Delius, who was a member of the Frederick Empire, the other four were important figures in other countries. Now three were killed and one injured. If the Frederick Empire did not make the best efforts to save Alex's life, it would easily make people think that the Frederick Empire had bad intentions and was insincere. The Frederick Empire could not bear the anger of so many countries.
At this time, no one could care about the magic exchange conference, and the conference was postponed indefinitely. Participants from various countries were worried that the subsequent situation would intensify, and returned one after another, including the students of Belkin Academy, and also set off for the protection of escorts. For this reason, the Frederick Empire also sent a cavalry unit of thousands of people to escort to avoid accidents.
