The long street was silent, with only Downton's cold voice echoing.
The demons looked at each other and all avoided Downton's gaze. The dozen or so Wellington cronies were almost scared to death and immediately expressed their loyalty.
"You won't even follow a strong man like the leader, unless you are blind!"
"Haha, I didn't know who wanted to come just now!"
Those dozens of demons who have always stood firmly on Downton's side are proud to be there. Facts have proved that their vision is correct.
"What do you mean?"
The demon man was so angry that he was so angry that his face turned red as deep as his neck. If in the past, this little boss would have shouted out, his subordinates would have helped him. But today, with the majesty of the Downton murder scene, he didn't even dare to fart.
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, go back and rest. I will notify you in three days about your treatment. In short, it will not be worse than now."
A small team of dozens of people is already difficult to manage, and various small groups will appear. A scale of nearly a thousand people will naturally be even more troublesome.
The devil's attitude was much more respectful than before, he greeted Downton and left.
"Why not take advantage of the momentum of killing Wellington to get rid of those guys who have bad intentions?"
Su Ya spat, there were many people here, which he didn't like.
"Am I that vindictive?"
Downton asked rhetorically.
Su Ya was stunned. In terms of character, Downton really couldn't fault him.
"I don't know whether Downton has a broad mind, but at least he is very smart when it comes to calculations." The head maid praised.
Without the backbone of Wellington, these demons are just a mess, unable to make waves at all, and before they become bigger, Lena is sure that Downton will find an opportunity to consume them.
Having a reputation for being generous to others, and using them to fight, squeeze out surplus value, and even achieve the ulterior goal of eliminating dissidents at the same time, is simply killing three birds with one stone. As cunning as a fox.
"Downton isn't that evil-minded, is he?"
Listening to the head maid's low-pitched explanation, Sissi looked at Downton in disbelief.
Reina smiled. She had met many people with venomous eyes.
"Everyone, how are you going to compensate for such a big commotion?"
The security team riding on the Scorpion had already arrived, completely watching, waiting until the war was over before stepping out to provide afterthoughts.
"According to the market price, after calculating the losses, five times the compensation will be given!"
Lena interrupted Downton. She was the best at dealing with this kind of affairs. As for gold coins, she didn't care at all.
"Too much."
Downton felt very sad.
"A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."
Lena signaled Downton to stop talking. The battle just now caused many drow to be accidentally injured, which was more troublesome. As for the dead adventurers, they did not dare to cause trouble to the Bavaria family, so they could only consider themselves unlucky.
"Domineering!"
The security captain had obviously received a hint from his mistress and was not too specific about Downton. After receiving a satisfactory answer, he went to deal with the aftermath.
There were still ten days before the start of the Dark Ceremony. Downton concentrated on recuperating. He dug up the Red Dragon Legion's medicine garden in the Forge and obtained a large amount of precious herbs, which he gave to her to make into a potion to nourish the soul tree.
loss.
"Aren't you going to study Potions?"
Xia Luo asked while sorting out the herbs.
"No time!"
As the number of powerful enemies continued to increase, Downton felt more and more that time was running out. If Dupont was killed, his family would definitely come looking for him, and if he wanted to capture Delankfurt, Saint Jutland behind him would definitely take action.
Bang! Bang!
There was a knock on the door.
"May I come inside?"
"Um!"
It was Sissi who came, so Downton did not hide the herbal medicine, but he soon regretted it, because behind the princess was an old man with gray hair.
"Firefrost grass?"
As soon as he opened the door, a strong smell of medicine wafted out. The old man sniffed and his eyes were fixed on the table for one moment, and then he almost popped his eyeballs out the next moment.
"Undead mushroom? Ice ember fruit? Cold moss?"
The old man called the names of each plant, and as if a bear had encountered honey, he rushed over to it, and suddenly lay down next to the table, observing carefully.
He did not touch them with his hands because these herbs were too precious.
"Princess, he can't use so many herbs alone. Can you give me half? No, just one-third, so that I can do a lot of experiments."
The old man looked at Sissi expectantly. He is the great potion master in the team and also serves as a doctor, responsible for everyone's health.
"That's not my thing!"
Sissi was embarrassed.
"Impossible. I know this guy is very good at fighting, but it has nothing to do with herbs. Do you know how much these rare herbs are worth?"
The old man glanced at Downton with a look of disdain on his face, as if a herbal pearl was secretly casting its gaze upon him.
"It's really his." Sissi was worried that the relationship between the two parties would be tense, so she quickly explained, "This is the palace potion master of the Bavarian family. He is very accomplished in potions and has already obtained the title of potion master."
"Nice to meet you!"
Downton had already stood up, and now he stretched out his hand.
Snapped!
Downton's hand was held by the old man. He immediately felt a weak electric current spreading through his body and couldn't help but forcefully shook it off.
"Tsk, this guy's body is as strong as a monster. He doesn't need any supplements at all. Why don't you give me these herbs?" the old man begged.
"It's really not mine!" Sissi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Please help me check Downton's body first. What medicines are needed? Just list them. It doesn't matter how much they cost."
"Well, his soul was seriously damaged and he needs Dragon Soul Flower to make up for the loss of his mind!" The old man's eyes suddenly turned and he revealed his name.
"Do you dare to be more harsh?"
Downton couldn't stand listening anymore. Dragon Soul Flower? That thing is a rare herb on the magic potion list. It ranks within fifty. It costs at least 200 million gold coins, but you may not be able to buy it.
"Boy, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Your soul tree has been severely damaged. If you don't repair it, you will never have the chance to step into the position of generalissimo in the future."
The old man spoke very skillfully, telling the truth and falsehoods, and he also used the term "Generalissimo". When ordinary people heard that it was for the sake of their future, they would definitely lose their cool judgment.
"Sissi, can I throw this bastard out?"
Downton was too lazy to pay attention to the old man.
"Boy, if you leave me, you are dead."
The old man originally wanted to say that the great potion master took the initiative to treat you, which was simply a favor to the princess. But then he thought that something was wrong. With the strength this guy showed, there must be a newly promoted great potion master who would win over him.
"That's better than being tricked to death by you." Downton said disdainfully, "Honestly, how much money have you deceived Sissi over the years?"
"What do you mean by lying? That's really ugly to say."
The old man felt a little guilty. After all, he was an academic researcher and was not thick-skinned enough.
"Downton, he is also good for you!"
Sissi stopped.
Looking at the princess's eyes, Downton suddenly realized that if he had to manage a huge empire, Bavaria's intelligence system was definitely not bad, not to mention the position of potion master, which was related to security. It must be closely monitored.
Although the old man always reported more funds, he did not use them to improve his life. Instead, he spent them on experiments, so the Bavarian family turned a blind eye.
"sorry!"
Seeing that this old man was wearing only an ordinary white robe and only a few magic rings, he looked extremely shabby. Downton did not laugh at him, but instead bowed and apologized.
"Haha. Don't worry, give these herbs to me, and I will make sure you are as good as ever."
The old man didn't care about Downton's attitude, or in other words, based on his emotional intelligence, he didn't understand it at all. All he saw was these herbs.
Sissi shrugged her shoulders. If the old man was not such a pure scholar, their family would not dare to hire him.
"No, they belong to us."
Before Downton could speak, Charlotte objected.
"you……"
The old man was about to get angry, but when he saw Xianlang's face, he was suddenly stunned. After being stunned for more than ten seconds, he asked with a trembling tone, "Are you the Great Pharmacist Xia Luo?"
"Are we that famous?"
Xia Luo frowned.
"Are you really a wise wolf?"
The old man glanced at Xia Luo's fluffy ears, and then at the tail behind her, and became excited, "I have long wanted to visit you and discuss with you the issues of symbiosis between plants and monsters, but
I haven't found your address yet."
The old man was so excited that after finishing a sentence, he made several mistakes and even bit his tongue.
Ordinary humans look down on the Orcs, let alone scholars like the Royal Apothecary Society. In addition, the Orcs' potion science develops slowly and there are too many illiterates, so they don't take them seriously at all, and regard the shaman's pharmaceutical research as a trivial skill.
.
Of course, some of them are not racist, but the general environment is like this, and they can't improve anything. However, they still have great respect for the real orc scholars.
"Huh? Our identity should be kept secret, right?"
Xia Luo was surprised. When she went to the human country to take the pharmacy license exam, she had disguised herself.
"The Royal Apothecary Society is one of the top organizations in the mainland. We potion masters may not seem to have any fighting ability, but the energy behind them is still huge."
The old man smiled proudly. Who in this world can guarantee that he will not get sick? Even people from Assassin's Creed and the Dark Brotherhood would not dare to go too far when facing the Royal Apothecary. The forces and individuals who want to sell their favors would be even more afraid.
too much.
There are not many senior executives who know Xia Luo's identity, and the old man happens to be one.
Downton suddenly realized that being qualified to be the court pharmacist of Sissi's family was probably the best among the top leaders of the association.
"Master, don't forget the purpose of our coming here."
Sissi reminded her.
"oh!"
The old man responded and was about to hold Downton's hand and insist on him again, but he immediately remembered that Charlotte was still beside him and felt extremely embarrassed.
"Your Highness, with Your Excellency Xian Lang here, who should I take action in my turn?"
The old man smiled bitterly.
"One more person means more safety!"
It's not that Sissi doesn't trust Charlotte, but she thinks it's more reliable to arrange for her own people to take care of Downton. After all, Wise Wolf and Downton are just friends, and she doesn't know if they are careful or not, but the old man's interests are tied to Bavaria, absolutely.
