Ella played with the test tube in front of her boredly.
It has been ten days since she arrived in the capital of the island republic. The capital of the island republic is too small. In these ten days, she and Amy have visited the entire capital three times. However, the supplies promised by the governor are still not there.
It will take another five days to prepare.
Amy walked in holding a stack of paper.
"Your Majesty, I have already negotiated the chartering of ships. Although many ships were initially unwilling to go to distant oceans like the North Sea, considering that they could purchase furs and other specialties as goods and sell them back, most of the ships finally agreed. Take
After receiving the supplies, Hezekiah and Rurik will return from the Black Sea Strait with their share, and then they will not interact with us. In addition, do you need to send a message to the garrison stationed in Azov City now?
Let them return to Sweden the way they came?"
What Ella is transporting from the Island Republic this time is more than three months' worth of supplies for the 20,000-strong army. When she came, the ships of the fleet were packed with people, leaving little room for cargo. The fleet is coming to the Island Republic again.
Three-fifths of them were separated on the way. In order to successfully transport the supplies back to the pirate kingdom, they had to hire some merchant ships from other countries.
It only took a little more than a month for Ella to send troops from Sweden until they captured the city of Azov and captured Andrea. And they and the island republic asked for these supplies, from the beginning of sending envoys to Giovanni's return visit, and then to
After they passed through the Black Sea Strait, and finally added to their waiting in the island republic, it took more than two months. Soon, the Pirate Kingdom will enter the planting season again. If Ella brings out 20,000 young adults,
If the man cannot return in time, it will greatly affect the next year's harvest. Therefore, Amy will propose that the defenders of Azov City return first.
"The deal in Azov City has not been completed yet, so let's wait. I will go to the Governor's Palace tomorrow to ask Patisipachio to move faster."
Ella continued to play with the test tube in front of her. But the test tube was empty, with nothing in it.
Seeing Ella like this, Amy slapped her forehead and said: "Ah, by the way, when I just entered the door, I saw several alchemists from the university gathered in front of the door, saying they were coming to exchange academic knowledge with His Majesty...
"
"I have already told the guards that I am very tired now and do not want to see guests."
"Then... would you like me to prepare some basic materials for alchemy for Your Majesty?"
"There is no alchemy laboratory here." Ella threw the test tube away. Then, she lay down on the back of the chair, looked at the empty white ceiling, and said to herself: "Besides... I am very familiar with alchemy.
Seems a little tired of it."
A guard came in.
"The King of Sweden," he said, "there is a man from the University of Alchemy who wants to see..."
Before the guard could finish speaking, Ella shouted: "I've said it many times, no see!"
The guard took a step back: "Yes, I will go and drive that girl away right away."
"Girl?" Ella sat upright in her chair. "What kind of girl?"
"A girl with black hair and black eyes, without any clothes, only wrapped in a sheet..."
"Paracelsus?" Ella stood up from her chair, "Bring her in quickly!"
The mysterious black-haired girl walked barefoot in front of Ella. The difference from last time was that the sheet she was wrapped in was changed to taupe this time. Before Ella could express her welcome, she said:
"In the past three days, three deaths have occurred in the capital. The latest one was just discovered - King of Sweden, please come with me now to have a look."
"Fate? This..." Ella felt a little at a loss for a moment, "I am just a guest. There is no reason for me to interfere with the fate of the island republic."
The girl shook her head: "According to the doctor's judgment, the victims of these three fatalities all died from the venom of the alchemical snake, Basilik."
"Baslik's venom?" Ella was so frightened that she grabbed the crowbar placed next to the chair and lowered her head to see if the snake was still there.
"As far as I know, there is no alchemist in the Alchemy University who has mastered the art of making basiliks. The only basiliks I have seen recently are the one in your hand, the King of Sweden."
The girl stared into Ella's eyes as she spoke, obviously somewhat suspicious of Ella. Ella was carefully examining the crowbar in her hand: "The appearance doesn't seem to have changed much, except that it has an extra pair of wings."
, you added it... I understand the matter. Amy, call a team of guards and come with me to take a look."
The place where the eucalyptus occurred was near the port of the capital. A large group of citizens were bustling there. When Ella passed through them, they all cast hostile glances at Ella.
"They don't know what Basilik is. They only heard that it is related to alchemy." The girl said, "The most famous alchemist on the island is currently the King of Sweden. Moreover, these deaths all occurred in
It happened after you landed on the island."
"Boring! What reason does Your Majesty have to let Baslik go bite someone?" Amy ordered the guards on both sides, "Whoever stares at the King of Sweden again will be stared back hard by me!"
Under the ferocious looks of the pirates, the citizens lowered their heads one after another.
Several soldiers from the island republic were carrying a corpse onto a carriage, preparing to transport it for disposal. The pirates roughly pushed them aside and allowed Ella to walk in. Ella glanced at the corpse, only one glance
He shook his head: "This is definitely not because of Basilik's venom!"
The girl stepped forward, pinched the deceased's lips, and looked inside. Then, she carefully examined the deceased's eyes, nostrils, and ear grooves. After checking these parts, she untied the deceased's clothes and began to examine them.
The body of the deceased. Finally, she shook her head like Ella and said: "Indeed, this is not caused by Baslik's venom. Baslik's venom can corrode the arm holding the sword's hilt along the tip of the sword.
There was no visible damage on the body of the deceased."
"Which quack doctor said that this was the venom that killed Baslik?" Amy asked speechlessly. Although she knew nothing about alchemy or medical skills, she had seen Baslik with her own eyes and knew about Baslik's venom.
The toxicity is not that mild. You know, in order to store Basilik's venom, Ella even had to use a gold container.
"It's Avicenna. The conclusions of these three fatalities were all made by Avicenna." The girl said, "Because of him, the alchemists on the island now dare not even take a step forward.
