Travel to another world and become a great sage

Chapter 23 The Conspiracy from the Darkness

Hu Jiu doesn't have Alice's "mind-reading skills", how could he know the bargaining chip struggle in the heart of the little villain, and added an order for this new servant, anyway, he must have a stick and a carrot, this touching move immediately made the little devil The evil devil doubled the chips for betraying its master to four hundred.

The deep-rooted concept of the lower class made Billy dare not eat at the same table with a royal family like Alice. He took a bowl and sat in a corner to eat. He thought it was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life.

After the turbulent meal, Alice touched her chubby belly with satisfaction, and looked at Hu Jiu approvingly: "Hu Jiu, you are very good. I have decided that you will be the princess's favorite from now on!"

This cadenced voice echoed in the laboratory, shaking the favored lord with black lines, and the servant who gave birth to the favored lord even looked envious.

Fortunately, it's not the male favorite I mentioned last time, the difference of one word is a world of difference.

Having said that, if you really dare to be Alice's male favourite, you will be promoted to the eunuch's official by His Highness the Eldest Princess immediately.

Maybe he can be the head of the Ouchi guards or something.

Hu Jiu couldn't help shivering at the thought of being chanted "thousand years old".

"This is a great honor." Alice counted with her fingers: "The favorite minister is the close minister of this princess. Every day, he has to tell stories and make delicious food. Half of the magic crystal coins he usually earns must be handed over to the princess. The princess goes out to eat. And you have to pay the bills.”

Isn't this worse than being a servant?

Hu Jiu broke out in a cold sweat, and shook his head resolutely: I have always been high-spirited and upright, and never followed others, so I should give this great honor to others.

Tiana saw Hu Jiu put the "antidote" fake seasoning into the hot pot with her own eyes. Alice really didn't doubt it, and she and Xi Li ate a lot. She finally let go of her heart and secretly admired the wit of human friends. He said, "Alice, stop making trouble, the hot pot has already been eaten, let's go back early."

"Why do I always feel that you are speaking for this guy?" Alice glanced suspiciously at Tiana, then at Hu Jiu, "By the way, at the gate of the city, you seemed to have said that a certain human was your friend? "

Tiana's face turned hot, and she admitted it openly: "That's right, although we haven't known each other for a long time, I think Hu Jiu is a worthwhile friend, much better than that insidious and cowardly guy like Weibull!"

"Hu Jiu can tell stories, and he can make fun and delicious food." Alice tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Since he is Tiana's friend, he can still be considered Alice's friend..."

Hu Jiu felt powerless for Alice's criteria for choosing friends. Alice walked over and patted Hu Jiu on the shoulder, with the attitude of a big sister in the club: "If someone bullies you in the future, you will report the name of the princess. No one will." Dare to touch you. Of course, except that this princess bullies you..."

At this moment, Anshelek's figure appeared at the door of the laboratory.

"Master!" Hu Jiu stepped forward, "Come on, try this new flavor."

Uncharacteristically, the dark elf master shook his head and did not speak. It was only then that Hu Jiu noticed that there was an unprecedented gloomyness and heaviness on Anshelek's gloomy face.

........................

Darkmoon City, a residential hall somewhere.

Weibull listened to Tigus' report with a livid face, and asked, "Tianna really said that the human is her friend?"

Tiggers replied with lingering fear: "Yes, General! Many soldiers saw it at the time, and Lord Tiana even threw a sword at me in front of everyone. I almost lost my life."

"Damn human beings! What did Tiana see in him?" Weibull said through gritted teeth, feeling jealous. Tiana never pretended to be a magistrate, and she didn't even look straight at him. Now To actually call that human being whom he has just met not long ago as a friend, and to stand up for him, is simply intolerable.

"Okay, Tiggs, you go down." Another faint voice sounded in the hall.

"Yes, Lord Caiaphas." Tigus respected this man no less than his immediate superior Weibull, bowed and retreated.

"My friend, I really don't know what makes you so obsessed with that savage woman. If you want a woman, you can grab a lot of them. Do you want me to give you some top-quality succubus slaves?" Caiaphas fell He drank a glass of wine and said slowly.

Caiaphas has a human appearance, and should be of mutant blood, appearing elegant and calm, completely different from Weibull's violent warrior temperament.

"Hmph, no need." Weibull snorted coldly, "Aren't you also interested in the eldest princess? It's just that Her Highness Restia is beautiful, but she's just a piece of iceberg. She has no interest at all, and I don't understand. Why do you like her?"

Stupid stuff, my favorite, different from yours!

Caiaphas sneered in his heart, but his face was still calm: "Just like you, everyone has different hobbies. I just returned to Dark Moon City, and I don't know the origin of that human named Hu Jiu?"

"It's just a trash with amazing luck!" Weibull gritted his teeth: "This human fell into the Double Moon Continent about a month ago, and was called a 'sage' by the orc tribe. He is just a trash with no fighting power. At that time, he was taken away by Master Anchelek as a test drug, but after a few days, he miraculously became Anchelek's apprentice, and his identity was publicly recognized by His Royal Highness Restia. I don't know what is so attractive about this guy Tiana and the little princess go to him almost every day.”

Caiaphas thought for a while, and said: "In this way, his biggest reliance is the attention of the dark elf master. I know the little princess very well, but it's just out of curiosity. The eldest princess probably did this to win over Anshelek." Let's do it. It's just that Anxielek is in danger now, and he will leave Darkmoon City soon. At that time, this human being will lose its value. Even if you want to chop him into seven or eight pieces, the eldest princess will not stop you .”

"With the one from the imperial capital taking action, Anshelek will definitely lose." Weibull turned his anger into joy, nodded, and raised his glass to Caiaphas: "You are right, come on, let's have a toast!"

........................

In the Anchelek laboratory in the outer courtyard of the palace, after Alice's three daughters left, only Anchelek and Hu Jiu were left in the laboratory. The little demon who was good at observing words and expressions saw that the master was in a bad mood, and retreated early in the morning.

Anshelek took out thick books, "Essentials of Extraction", "Formulas of Commonly Used Medicines", "Addendum to Poisons"...

"Hu Jiu, I'll give you these books." The dark elf sighed, "When I'm not by your side in the future, you have to study hard. Although you bear the inheritance of a great master, there is no end to learning, and you must never learn something. Slacking off. As long as you keep working hard, one day your achievements will shock the entire Double Moon Continent."

Hu Jiu sensed something was wrong as soon as he heard it, and immediately asked, "Master, what happened? Where are you going?"

"I will probably leave Darkmoon City." Anshelek shook his head, with a sad look on his face, and explained the reason.

The Shuangyue Continent respects the strong, not only power, but also fierce competition in every field.

The rules in the world of pharmacy are quite unique. If you want to become a master of pharmacy, there are two ways.

The first is to go to the pharmacist alliance in the imperial capital, pass a series of complex assessments, including accurately dispensing the highest level of white medicine within the specified time, and at least get the approval of at least two masters.

The second is to directly challenge the famous masters under the witness of the Pharmacist Alliance. If they succeed and directly advance to the master level, the failed masters will be deprived of their status as masters and exiled for three years. After three years, they can re-challenge or assess Master class.

If the challenged person refuses to accept the challenge, it will be regarded as a failure directly.

However, the challenger is not without risk, and needs to bet a huge amount of wealth. Once the challenge fails, the wealth will belong to the master, and the challenge cannot be repeated within three years.

Hu Jiu understood, it was like gambling.

Anshelek went on to explain that money is very important to pharmacists, because alchemy is a subject that costs a lot of money, and whether it is pharmacy or instrumentation, it requires a lot of financial support.

Even to assess the level of an alchemist or learn from an alchemist, he still has to pay a high fee.Therefore, the general Alchemist Association needs to seek the support of financially powerful forces and work for them.

Hu Jiu thought to himself, compared to that, it was too easy for him to be a free apprentice.

Anshelek himself was once deeply in debt due to financial problems, and was treated with cold eyes. After he failed in the master level assessment in a desperate attempt, he almost lost his confidence in life after he went bankrupt.

At this most desolate time, Anshelek met the eldest princess Restia. At that time, Restia was only 16 years old. Not long after she took over Dark Moon City, she knew people with her eyes and provided Anshelek with valuable funds. .

After Anxielek became a master, he reciprocated the favor, resolutely rejected the invitation from the imperial capital, and stayed in Darkmoon City to serve Restia.

Hu Jiu showed a clear look, no wonder the dark elf master has a sincere respect for Princess Restia.

Anshelek sighed: "A few months ago, I received letters one after another from Master Zola and Master Kemp in the imperial capital. The letters promised me a lot of money, persuading me to serve as Regent Black Yao, but I flatly rejected it. Today, the pharmacist The imperial capital branch of the alliance suddenly sent a magical message, and Li Qima, the pharmacist in the imperial capital, formally challenged me, and now the two master pharmacists and Li Qima are already on their way to Darkmoon City, and they will arrive in two days."

If you don't eat the toast, the fine wine really came.

Anshelek is Restia's right-hand man. If he is defeated and exiled, the reputation of the Dark Moon Territory and Restia's strength will be greatly damaged.

Obviously, this was a means for that Prince Obsidian to weaken Princess Restia's power.

The imperial capital is far away from Darkmoon City. Even if you take the fastest flying tame beast, it will take nearly a month's journey, but the magic message has only just arrived at Anshelek's place. It seems that the other party deliberately wants to kill him by surprise.

"Master, no matter what the opponent's plan is, in the end it takes strength to explain everything." Hu Jiu thought for a while and said, "As long as you defeat that Lichma, the opponent's conspiracy will come to naught, and you will lose a lot of money." .”

"I understand this naturally. The problem is that I'm not Lichma's opponent." Anshelek smiled wryly, "Lichma is the most outstanding pharmacy genius in the empire. When I was assessing the pharmacist, he already had empire The title of pharmacist was born on the first day. Moreover, this person had the strength of a master early on, and even many masters respected him. It is said that he once made an oath that if he did not develop the strongest poison, he would never participate in the master class. assessment.

Now he came to challenge me, on the one hand, he was ordered by the regent, on the other hand, he probably had a major breakthrough in the development of new poisons, and planned to use me as a sacrifice to advance to the master.I had a long discussion with the eldest princess in the conference hall just now, but I couldn't come up with a countermeasure. "

Hu Jiu tried to ask: "Master, if you immediately contact Li Qima and say that you are willing to serve Prince Obsidian, can you avoid this challenge?"

Anshelek shook his head resolutely and said: "Since I rejected Prince Obsidian's offer at the beginning, I will not accept it now either. Although we dark elves don't talk about integrity and tolerance, but we remember the most kindness, I will never accept it. I will betray His Royal Highness Restia, and even if I am exiled for three years, I will do my best to become a master again and continue to serve Your Highness."

However, since Prince Obsidian intends to deal with Restia, it's really hard to say whether Anchelek can keep his life during the exile.

Even if the dark elves survived by chance and regained the glory of the master, in three years time, would the already precarious Dark Moon City still be under the control of Restia?

Even Hu Jiu has thought of this point, and Anshelek must be aware of it.

Anshelek didn't continue talking, and continued to clean up the potions and books, ready to leave at any time.

Hu Jiu didn't help Anshelek clean up, but frowned and said nothing.

Anshelek is very rigorous about academics. Although he has the cunning of a dark elf, he has no reservations when instructing him on pharmacy, and there is no so-called racial discrimination.

At the same time, this master is also Hu Jiu's best protection from the outside world, no matter for others or himself, we must try to give him a hand.

Also, the startup progress of the mecha descending system is stagnant, and the new poison of Lichma may not be an opportunity...

While contemplating, a bold plan gradually took shape in Hu Jiu's mind.

"Master, wait! Don't be pessimistic too early, we may not necessarily lose, if my plan is successful..." Hu Jiu said with a smile after careful consideration: "Perhaps, we can discuss the huge amount of wealth easily first. distribution problem."

These words made Anshelek pause, and his gloomy eyes suddenly widened.

........................

At this time, in the Dark Moon Territory, under the circumstance that people with good intentions released the news, two days later, the news that Li Qima, a pharmacy genius in the imperial capital, officially challenged Master Anshelek spread like wildfire, and the entire Dark Moon was discussing this important event.

Two days passed quickly, just like the time of the magic message, a group of people from the imperial capital appeared outside Dark Moon City on time.
