Chapter 23: Assassination(2/3)
Adol quickly quickened her pace, her image of the elves in her heart completely collapsed.
After leaving the slum, Su Xiao took the public train at five stops and got off the train. This was a not-so-prosperous neighborhood. There were many withered and yellow leaves on the street. On both sides of the street, which was less than 4 meters wide, some shops were not listed.
, which means it has not been leased out.
Su Xiao stopped in front of a two-story building. The double wooden door with glass in the upper half was open. When she walked inside, she found that the ground was paved with black and white floor tiles.
The whole building is not big. Su Xiao only plans to open a small clinic, receiving patients on the first floor and living on the second floor.
At this time, on the first floor, metal operating beds, infusion stands, etc. have been placed. The wall on the right is a whole bookshelf, with books and specimen bottles on the upper limit. In one of the specimen bottles, a human heart is soaked.
, not far away is a slightly yellowed skeleton.
No matter how you look at it, this is not a temporary installation, but it was originally a clinic.
"My dear friend, you are here. Are you satisfied with this place? Look at the brand-new appliances and the smooth floor tiles."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't say anything. He was a little curious as to how Caesar bought this clinic that was in operation.
"Bai Ye, let me solemnly introduce to you. These four are the experts I hired for you. They are all from fishing villages in the countryside and are very simple."
Under Caesar's grand introduction, four people from the fishing village appeared. These four people were dressed both formally and rustically. Due to the constant exposure to wind and sun, their skin was rough. Their faces had not been washed for who knows how many days, and they looked black and oily.
The hair comes with gel, and the leader uses "natural hair gel" to hold his head upside down. When he smiles, his mouth is full of metal teeth, either gold or silver.
The boss of the fishing village has a fierce smile, the second eldest son has a sinewy face and is tall and strong, the third eldest son has a ponytail, double earrings and an unshaven chin, and the fourth eldest son is the shortest and looks dull.
The strength of the four people in the fishing village is not weak, but their aura can only be described as twisted and cruel. God knows where Caesar found these four people.
The boss of the fishing village had a smile on his face and said, "Hello, Mr. Bai Ye."
After saying that, the boss of the fishing village winked at his three younger brothers, meaning to say hello quickly.
Su Xiao raised her hand to indicate that there was no need, and asked the four of them to go to the rental house opposite to rest first.
After the four people from the fishing village left, Su Xiao looked at Caesar: "I don't have that much silver coins to hire four thugs of this strength."
"My dear friend, you misunderstood. Their daily payment is this price."
Caesar raised a finger.
"1,000 silver coins per day?"
Su Xiao feels that the strength of the four people in the fishing village is worth the price. These four people are thugs + killers + cleaners + handymen. If necessary, they can also repair circuits and furniture, that is, guest electricians + carpenters.
, if there are fishing boats, they will also repair them and go out to sea to fish and improve their food.
"No, no, no, the four of them together will be paid 10 silver coins per day."
"I'm sorry!"
Baha exclaimed, and I don’t blame him, this is really cheap.
"Will there be no problem?"
"Absolutely no problem. They just entered the big city, and they heard from their family how dangerous the big city is, so these four didn't dare to take the job easily. After four days in Bay City, they were hungry for seven meals."
"..."
Su Xiao signaled Baha to buy some food. After a while, in the restaurant on the second floor, the dining table was filled with all kinds of food. The four people from the fishing village stood aside politely, swallowing saliva from time to time, and glancing at the food on the table.
"I'm treating you today, so you're welcome."
Hearing what Su Xiao said, the four people in the fishing village were really rude and began to feast. Although they ate quickly and had no etiquette, they were not barbaric. They all ate with tableware and wolfed down the food. Watching them eat, it felt very delicious.
Hiring these four people for 10 silver coins a day is ridiculously cost-effective. After watching the "eokbang" of the fishing village quartet, Su Xiao turned around and walked into the house opposite the bedroom.
An hour later, Su Xiao looked around the room. This room, which was less than 30 square meters in size, had been set up as a temporary alchemy laboratory.
Sitting in front of the test table, Su Xiao took out the "Secret Blood Purification Medicine (Pharmacion Formula)". This is not Su Xiao's boast. If it comes to medical skills, he is not as good as the owner of this formula, but if it comes to the preparation of pharmaceuticals, he is better than the other party.
Out too much.
In most cases, Su Xiao's medical skills were insufficient, so he had to make up for it with medicines, and if it didn't work, he would just overhaul it.
Su Xiao made a list of the required materials, and after paying Caesar 500 soul coins for the materials and hard work, Caesar took the four people from the fishing village out. As long as they gave enough soul coins, Caesar's power could reach the gods.
When he first came to the Elf City, Su Xiao wanted to come up with a potion that would make the Elf Royal Family furious, so the [Blood Purifying Secret Potion] would definitely not work. This potion could at most relieve aging symptoms.
After previous negotiations with the patrol leader Arles, Su Xiao finally knew the name of this symptom. It is called "turbidemia". The name is very appropriate. It is a symptom caused by dirty and deformed blood vessels.
If you want to treat "turbidemia", the original version of [Blood Purifying Medicine] has a mediocre effect, while [Blood Purifying Medicine 2.0] can have a slow effect, and [Blood Purifying Medicine 3.0] is a more ideal medicine.
Now, [Blood Purifying Secret Medicine 4.0] is guaranteed to make patients with "turbidemia" recover in a short time after drinking it. And [Blood Purifying Secret Medicine 5.0] is the ultimate enhanced version, which can cure "turbidemia" completely.
Turbidemia".
It is a dream to prepare [Blood Purifying Secret Medicine 5.0] in a short time. Su Xiao's goal is to create [Blood Purifying Secret Medicine 4.0] first. The immediate effect of the 4.0 version of the medicine is enough to make the royal family stare.
Su Xiao will tell the Elf Royal Family a secret, they are about to be exterminated.
The emergence of "turbid blood" represents one thing. The blood power of the elves is about to dry up. This is not the case for any elves, but for all elves.
Su Xiao can confirm that the elves went through a very difficult period at the beginning. Perhaps in order to resist some kind of foreign enemy, the ancestors of the elves almost went crazy and drank large amounts of the deeply activated power of the abyss. What was even more terrifying was that...
An entire generation of people were like this. During that period, the elves may have all been soldiers.
Su Xiao's conjecture is consistent with the history of the elves he has read before. For a period of time, the elves and the tree spirits were at full war.
Dryads are creatures born after trees are eroded by the power of the abyss. If the elves want to defeat them, they can only transform into evil spirits in the abyss and steal land, resources, etc. from the tree spirit tribe.
In the end, the ancestors of the elves won, but it is unknown what price they paid.
The combination of the talent awakening device and the distorted power of the abyss may not be all the causes of "turbidemia".
Su Xiao didn't know enough about "turbid blood disease". He didn't know why the royal family burned the bodies of those patients. Could it be that those patients would mutate into monsters after death?
While Su Xiao was thinking, four people from the fishing village returned, carrying large and small packages. If they didn't know better, they would have thought that they were bringing local specialties to visit relatives in the city.
"etc."
The four people from the fishing village who were about to turn around and go downstairs stopped. They looked at Su Xiao doubtfully. Although they were not worried, they were still a little nervous. They finally found food and shelter, and they were given a salary of 2 silver coins and 50 horses every day.
employer.
"Here's a week's pay."
Su Xiao threw a purse containing 70 silver coins to the fishing village boss. The fishing village boss, who killed people like fish, became nervous at this moment. It was the first time in his life that he saw so much money.
"Dugu Yeser (elf dialect)."
It doesn't matter that Su Xiao didn't understand what the boss of the fishing village said, as long as the four people in the fishing village can understand what he said.
The boss of the fishing village wanted to say something, but he looked embarrassed, as if it was not easy to say these words directly to his employer.
Su Xiao looked at the patrol captain Arles who had just been found and was waiting aside, and asked him to talk to the four people from the fishing village. No need to think about it, Su Xiao knew what the four people from the fishing village wanted. The four people from the fishing village were new to the big city.
After meeting the elf girl with delicate skin and having just received a large sum of money, of course they wanted to go out and experience the nightlife of the big city.
Although the patrol leader Arles could not fully understand the fishing village dialect of the four people, through the body expressions of two of them, Arles understood that the four people in the fishing village were asking where they could go for prostitution.
I will send part of the money back home to experience the nightlife of the big city.
Arles left with four people from the fishing village. Su Xiao ignored these people. He also wanted to develop the [blood-purifying secret medicine].
After closing the door of the alchemy laboratory, Su Xiao began to prepare the initial version of the [Secret Blood Purifying Elixir]. Five minutes later, a bottle of [Secret Blood Purifying Elixir] was prepared by him.
For Su Xiao, the preparation of this level of medicine is simply not too simple. What he wants to do is to develop the second generation, which is an upgraded version, based on the [Blood Purifying Secret Medicine].
The good news is that [Blood Purifying Secret Medicine] has many imperfections. The bad news is that the idea of this formula is right, but the preparation method and material selection are really not flattering.
Four hours later, Su Xiao put down the pen in her hand and began to observe whether there were any problems with the proportioning ring diagram she designed. After confirming that there was no problem, she burned it.
After sorting out his thoughts, Su Xiao discovered a problem. The formula he perfected has nothing to do with the [Blood Purifying Secret Medicine] after version 2.0. Version 3.0 is a completely new formula, and version 4.0 is an upgraded version of the new formula.
Spending nearly 4,000 soul coins to buy the [Blood Purifying Secret Medicine] seems a bit worthless, but in Su Xiao's opinion, the more important thing about this formula is the information provided and the identity of the mushroom prophet. Furthermore, the wool lies in the sheep.
On the body.
He prepared the [Secret Potion of Vitality Replenishment and Bloodline Reverse Suppression], referred to as the [Secret Potion of Life], which would not be given to the Elf Royal Family in vain. During the diagnosis and treatment period, Su Xiao planned to earn a large sum of money from the Royal Family.
He put most of the prepared barrel of the [Secret Medicine of Life] into special test tubes, and then stuck the special test tubes on the back of the metal injection gun. This was not over yet. He took out the inner crystal box and inserted the injection guns one by one.
Load it into it.
The characteristics of these [Secret Medicines of Life] are that they are easy to use, have quick effects, have lower material costs than medicines of the same level, and are extremely difficult to prepare.
This was Su Xiao's intention. He was sure that the royal family would definitely try their best to obtain the formula. If this was the case, then when the time was right, he would sell the formula to them at a high price.
Things became easier when the elves bought the formula and found that it couldn't be copied.
Su Xiao opened the door and walked out of the alchemy laboratory. As soon as she walked out, she saw the inspection captain Arles sitting there waiting.
"Mr. Baiye."
Arles cast an expectant gaze. He was indeed a ruthless local snake, but at this moment, he was just a father eager to save his son.
"..."
Su Xiao took out a long crystal box. The packaging alone gave people the feeling that this thing was very expensive. This was how Arles felt at this time.
"Mr. Bai Ye, what should I do?"
"Inject your son with this medicine, and then report this matter to the royal family as quickly as possible."
"Understood."
Inspection captain Arles left in a hurry. In fact, he didn't believe Su Xiao, but he had no choice. He would treat a dead horse as a live doctor.
…
An hour later, in the apartment area, in the bedroom of the rented apartment in Arles.
The light in the bedroom was on, and Arles and his wife stared blankly at their scrawny son sitting on the bedside.
The boy's hair was still gray, but his loose skin was much tighter than before. More importantly, he woke up.
To be continued...
