After that, Ella explained the purpose of her visit and asked Dan to assist in the production of sulfa.
Dan used to serve as a doctor in Hestein's team, but later he was unwilling to use alchemy for medicine because he hated Paracelsus. But he was afraid of Ella, so he agreed.
The time for waiting for the potion to take effect was extremely long, but the topic between the two ended just like that. Dan was barely an old friend to Ella, but he could not be considered a friend. And even academically, the two of them had nothing.
We can communicate.
The atmosphere became a little awkward. Ella raised her head, closed her eyes, and stopped talking. This is what she did when she was captured by Dan: Dan always forgot Ella at every turn and became obsessed with the alchemy experiments in his hands. Ella
Any reminder he made would be met with an angry scolding from him. After a few times, she had become accustomed to quietly listening to the clinking sounds of the utensils.
Soon after, there was indeed a sound, but it was not the sound of the collision of utensils, but the sound of small prayers. Ella couldn't help but open her eyes, and saw Dan lowering his head in the moonlight, facing a Hexi piously.
Statue of Hermes.
Ella has seen similar scenes - Paracelsus often did this after coming to Sweden. Paracelsus explored the mystery of God's creation of man but failed, and Dan pursued the mystery of metal transmutation but failed. Some kind of
In a sense, they have walked on the same path.
There are also Archimedes, Leibniz...mathematics, alchemy, secret magic, these masters of completely different magic systems, but in the end they embarked on a similar path.
...Reunification Technique?
Ella vaguely smelled the aroma of food, and her stomach growled. Then she realized that her group of Aztlan people had been dancing sacrificial dances together for a day and a night, and the Aztlan people had not eaten.
She didn't eat anything either.
"Dan, are you grilling meat? It's quite delicious."
"Barbecue? No?" Dan raised his head in confusion. Suddenly, he thought of something and cheered excitedly, "It worked! I succeeded!"
"Succeeded?" Ella was stunned, then she hugged her hair and screamed, "Dan! You idiot! Did you really make my hair smell like barbecue?"
"That's right! Smell it, it smells so good! It would be even more perfect if combined with the oily golden color... Huh? Why is your hair still brown?"
"I...I'm going to kill you!!!"
Ella jumped down from the chair angrily, and rushed towards Dan without saying a word. Dan was no match for Ella now, and Ella fell to the ground in an instant. Ella sat astride him.
body, grabbing his collar and shaking him wildly:
"What are you thinking about in your head? If you are greedy, you can make it taste like fruit! What's with the barbecue-scented hair? Do you believe that I will cut off the hair and stuff it into your mouth? Ah? Do you believe it?
?”
"If you shake your head any more, your head will fall off!" Dan was so dazed by Ella's shaking that he began to talk nonsense, "Boss, please forgive me, I don't dare to do it anymore, I don't dare to do it anymore! My head
It's not suitable for a wine glass at all, so just leave it on my head."
"What do I need your head for?" Ella yelled, pulling on Dan's ears, "You'd better get rid of this smell tonight! Otherwise, you'll have hair that smells like barbecue every time!"
"
"King of Sweden...you..."
"What? What are your last words?"
"You are really a... veritable pirate king."
"Nonsense, what am I if I'm not the Pirate King? Get me the antidote! Immediately! Immediately!"
At this moment, Dast hurriedly opened the door and ran in: "The King of Sweden..."
"Get out!" Ella screamed holding her hair, "No one is allowed in before morning!"
"I'm afraid not." Dast said seriously, "Just now, I heard that the three leaders of the Aztlan people escaped."
"What? Go and have a look!"
Ella immediately wanted to rush out of the room, but as soon as she took a step forward, she let out a wailing cry and hugged her head:
"No! If people smell that my hair smells like barbecue, I won't be able to see them!"
"But the situation is urgent..."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! No matter! Let's go!"
Ella wrapped her head with a piece of cloth and hurried to the scene of the incident. She saw Alfred leading a group of people around the inside of the city wall. The place where Tesosomok was originally nailed was empty, with only
There was a stain of blood and several iron bars scattered on the ground.
Alfred noticed the cloth on Ella's head at a glance: "King of Sweden, your head...?"
"What's going on?" Ella quickly changed the topic, "The whole night hasn't even passed yet, and the person ran away?"
"I underestimated Izkoatl's power. He broke the steel cable and escaped, and rescued Chimalpopoka and Tesosomok from the underground." Alfred looked at him with a livid face and held up a piece of broken steel.
Throwing the rope on the ground, "But that's not the key. Even if he broke the rope, a knight would be able to deal with it in time if there was a knight by his side. But when the incident happened, there were only a few citizens around Izcoatl who came with a temporary warning.
, I haven’t even had time to arrange the knights yet!”
"What's going on with you?" Dast shouted dissatisfied, "The person I finally caught ran away because of your negligence?"
"Isn't it because of you? My knights are all tired, and they also need to rest. You said that the drug was not effective, so they tolerated it." Alfred looked at Dust angrily.
, "But you said that they won't wake up until tomorrow night! No matter how careless you are in what you say, there shouldn't be anything going on tonight, right?"
"How did I know? The alchemist who gave me the medicine said that it could bewitch me for a whole day and a night. I'll just repeat it like this - oh!" Dast suddenly gave himself a slap in the face as if he thought of something, "
That damn pill! I should have remembered that his medicine had all kinds of problems a few years ago! What the hell did I do wrong to believe his lies!"
"Master, you should have thought of it earlier!" Ella angrily pinched Dast's neck, "My hair, my hair!"
"Hair?" Amy asked following Ella's words, "Your Majesty, I just wanted to ask, so I went to prepare the dishes for a while. Your head is..."
"There's no time to chat here!" Ella jumped up, "The enemy can't run very far, let all our men and horses catch up!"
"The King of Sweden is right. Anyway, I will lead the knights to catch up first."
Alfred had already been prepared to pursue him. He gave an order, and seven or eight fully armed knights and dozens of knights' retinues jumped onto their horses. Alfred himself also mounted a white horse.
, the fierce horse raised its body half up and neighed at the sky.
"My scabbard." Alfred stretched out his hand to Ella on the horse, "Give it back to me."
Ella looked at Amy. Amy nodded, took out the bloody scabbard, wiped it, and handed it to Alfred.
"I don't know how much magic power the enemy still retains. I may not have enough manpower." Alfred said, "King of Sweden, after you have organized your troops, you'd better come over and help me."
"I understand, you go first." Ella nodded and said. After Alfred walked away, she turned to Amy and said, "Gather you and my guards together and catch up.
"
"Just call in the guards?"
"Yes, there is no evidence that the three of them ran out of the city, so Winchester's defense cannot be neglected - by the way, remember to ask everyone to bring a few skewers of barbecue, the more fragrant the better, never
Forgot!"
"BBQ?"
"The soldiers have to be fed, right?" Ella covered her hair and shouted, "Hurry up and buy it! Then chase them hard!"
