Chapter 24 Potion Challenge from the Imperial Capital

In this team from the imperial capital, there are majestic knights and well-equipped soldiers, and there are even two magicians in red robes in the team, and the most eye-catching one is the middle-aged man riding a black magic horse people.

This is a thin and thin demon with an ordinary appearance, even Billy is a bit more hideous than him.

But even the two master pharmacists beside him dare not neglect this man who is only a pharmacist, because he is Li Qima, the most outstanding pharmacist genius in the Fallen Angel Empire for 300 years!It is also the reserve who is most likely to break through the grand master.

This team was welcomed by Princess Restia personally leading the team at the gate of the city.

Although everyone showed respect and respect to His Royal Highness, the eldest princess of the prince's lineage, many people still couldn't help showing contempt when they saw the simple buildings and desolate streets around them on the way to the palace.

The so-called sense of superiority from the big cities is palpable, which is exactly the same as the feeling of people from the previous imperial capital looking at people from various provinces.

Hu Jiu looked at this mighty team from a high platform, pouted with disdain.

Let you have your life, but not your life!

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

After entering the palace, the guests and hosts were seated, and Restia, who was the host, spoke first: "Everyone has come from a long distance, it's been a lot of hard work, so let's take a full day's rest first, and then discuss the challenge."

Li Qima was not reluctant, and immediately got up and said: "Your Highness, I came here specially this time to challenge Master Anshelek. I request that the challenge begin now. Please forgive me for eagerly wanting to become a master."

Restia Wannian's cold face remained motionless, showing no emotion or anger.

On the other hand, Master Zola and Master Camp looked at each other in unison and smiled.

Originally, he wanted to make a surprise attack, but the notice two days in advance was still in accordance with the rules of the Pharmacist Alliance, otherwise he would not have given more than one day, so why would he give the other party a chance to delay?

"There is nothing to rest in such a poor place." A disdainful voice came from among the guests. It was the young knight escorting the team, wearing a silver full-body armor.

Restia recognized that this was Shelter, an upstart in the military. Her father was one of the first three generals of the empire to fall to Obsidian. She frowned slightly, as if she hadn't heard.

Tiana on the opposite side couldn't hold back, stood up and shouted: "Shelter, you cowardly fellow, how dare you despise the majesty of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess! Pull out your sword and let me see if my defeated opponent has improved!"

Shelter had been defeated by Tiana's sword in the juvenile fencing competition a few years ago, and when she exposed the old story in public, she was furious, and was about to make a move, but was stopped by Master Kemp.

At this time, if something goes wrong and falls into Restia's scheme, the most important thing is to get back to the topic right now.

Master Zola was also a dark elf. He got up and asked, "Why didn't you see Master Anshelek? It's a rule of the Pharmacist Alliance that masters must accept the challenge. There is no need to discuss it. Why don't we go directly to his laboratory."

Restia didn't panic when she heard that Master Zola went straight to the point, but said a little embarrassedly: "It's actually like this, Master Anshelek had an accident when he was experimenting with a powerful new drug three days ago. He was seriously injured and lost his ability to move, so he couldn't come, so I said we need to discuss."

"Oh?" Master Zola's mouth twitched into a sinister sneer: "Why did Master Anshelek have an accident when we arrived here? Isn't it because he was afraid of the prestige of Lichma and pretended to be injured to avoid the challenge? "

Restia's expression remained unchanged, and she asked back: "Master Anshelek had an accident three days ago. At that time, he didn't know that Li Qima would come to challenge. Based on everyone's itinerary, starting from the imperial capital to here, at least it takes Why did we receive a magical message from the Apothecary Union two days before our arrival?"

This rhetorical question hit the nail on the head, not only clarifying Anshelek's innocence, but also vaguely pointing out that this is a conspiracy.

Master Zola was at a loss for words for a while, and the master Kemp, who was a slave to the demon clan, said: "Your Highness Restia misunderstood, we were originally invited by Lord Zhuoqie, the lord of Chiyou, to visit Chiyou City. Li Qima temporarily On my own initiative, I decided to come to the Dark Moon Territory to challenge Master Anshelek first, that's why the magic communication was so hasty. If the eldest princess doesn't believe it, you can ask Caiapha, the eldest son of Lord Zhuoqie. I think he seems to be the financial officer of Dark Moon City. .”

The territory of Chiyou is adjacent to the territory of Dark Moon. As the confidant of Prince Obsidian, Lord Zhuoqie of Chiyou is the "eye" of the imperial capital to monitor Dark Moon.

Since most of the resources and funding of the Dark Moon Territory came from Chiyou, Restia had to reuse Caiapha who came to "work".

On the surface, Caiaphas was from Darkmoon City, and if he testified for this matter, it would be even more irrefutable.

Taking a step back, Lichma's challenge was already in line with the procedure, and there is actually no point in arguing about the notification time.

"No need, why don't I trust Master Kemp." Restia nodded calmly, "I just sent Kaguron to ask the injured Master Anshelek to see if he himself has postponed this challenge Require."

Kemp and Zola looked at each other and exchanged views quickly.

He could hide for a while, but he couldn't hide for a lifetime. If the opponent wanted to postpone, then Li Qima would stay in Darkmoon City until Anshelek "healed from injury" to fight. Anyway, he would never stop until Anshelek was driven away.

Soon, the report of the chief guard of the palace, Kagulong, surprised the visitors from the imperial capital, including Lechma—the seriously injured Master Anshelek was unwilling to postpone the delay, and agreed to openly accept Lichma's request in the middle of the arena in Darkmoon City. challenge!

Li Qima originally thought that the other party was trying to delay, and unexpectedly he would fight directly, but he said arrogantly with a face full of indifference: "It's rare for Master Anshelek to fight with injuries. In order to show his respect, I'm going to the arena now to start the challenge."

Restia couldn't see any fluctuations on her cold face, she said calmly: "Since this is the case, please wait a moment, I will send someone to the arena to arrange everything immediately."

The Darkmoon Arena is one of the largest buildings in the city. It was quite famous 400 years ago, when the disappearing Beelzebub royal family appeared in Darkmoon City, took control of the Darkmoon territory, and attempted to invade the Chiyou territory and threaten the imperial capital.

Emperor Dayji heard the news and came, and fought against the Beelzebub royal family in this arena, and finally severely injured the opponent, and that person has never been seen.

Corresponding to the long history of the arena is the dilapidated furnishings. Under the busyness of Kaguron and other guards, the arena was quickly cleaned up, a high platform was erected, and rows of seats were placed as VIP seats.

As for the rest of the people, they were naturally not treated so well, but it did not affect their enthusiasm at all. The originally deserted arena was overcrowded for a while.

Although everyone is quite afraid of Master Anshelek who often makes screams, but from the bottom of their hearts, they still hope that he can defeat those outsiders and win glory for Dark Moon.

In the eyes of everyone, Lekima's attendants skillfully arranged a series of utensils and materials.

On the other side, Master Anshelek was also carried into the arena on a stretcher, followed by the new apprentice Hu Jiu, causing a burst of noise from the audience.

Humanity?

The appearance of Hu Jiu made Li Qima frowned. After listening to Restia's introduction of Hu Jiu's background, he showed disapproval. It's contemptuous.

It was the first time for Hu Jiu to face such a big scene. Looking at the countless strange-looking demon faces around him, he calmed down, saluted the VIP seats, and said loudly: "I am Hu Jiu, the new apprentice of Master Anshelek. Since the master was accidentally injured during the experiment, he is temporarily unable to act, so he will instruct me to accept the challenge, I wonder if Master Likima agrees?"

Command apprentices to accept the challenge?And it's a newly recruited apprentice!
This is the first time in the history of the master challenge. Although Anshelek has a reason for being seriously injured and unable to act, Lichma still clearly feels a kind of insult: Could it be that Anshelek tried to humiliate his opponent once before leaving knowing that he was going to fail? ?
"I agree." Lichma stared at Anshelek in the distance, with murderous intent in his eyes: "I demand a life-and-death battle. I wonder if Master Anshelek has the guts to let that human apprentice take the place instead?"

Life and death battle!Zola and Camp showed surprise. The life-and-death battle is that the pharmacists directly use each other as targets to test each other's medicines, not substitutes.

The first to be poisoned to death is judged to be a failure, and it is usually done by two parties with deep hatred.Under this rule, even if Anxielek sent an apprentice to play, as long as the apprentice was poisoned to death, he himself must accept the death penalty.

The two masters, Zola and Kemp, had absolute confidence in Likima's strength. Although they were surprised, they quickly recovered their composure.

Sure enough, Anshelek on the opposite side fell into deep thought, as if thinking about something.

And the human apprentice showed fear, came to Anshelek and whispered, as if he didn't dare to fight.

The dark elf looked angry, and his fingers tremblingly wanted to point at the humans, but he could only lift up a little, and then fell down weakly. The serious injury did not seem to be fake.

The surrounding voices were too noisy, even those with keen hearing could not hear the whispers of the two of them clearly.

Caiaphas saw it, and couldn't help frowning: Judging from the information from the inside, in fact, Anshelek was not injured three days ago, but stayed in the laboratory for the past two days. Could it be to deal with Sander? Lu, forced to configure some difficult potions and accidentally injured?
In the end, Anshelek made a decision to let his apprentice Hu Jiu accept the life-and-death battle on his behalf. It seemed that the dark elf master was going to put all his eggs in one basket to repay the Eldest Princess' kindness with death.

After the guards announced the rules of the life-and-death battle to the ignorant audience, the people of Darkmoon City were in an uproar. They felt that this kind of exciting scene was really rare in a hundred years. Medicines can't understand anything, life and death can always be seen Get it!
Lichma showed a cruel smile. He didn't think there was any suspense in this fight. With his newly developed poison, even if Anshelek ended up in person, he would only end up being poisoned, let alone that weak human being. up.

Princess Restia announced the start of the competition, and the surrounding noises suddenly fell silent. Everyone's eyes fell on that poor human being. Some people even bet that how long will it take for human beings to be poisoned to death?a second?Or two seconds?

Li Qima quickly started dispensing the medicine, and the skillful and precise technique made the two referees, Zola and Kemp, feel inferior. The genius pharmacist really lived up to his reputation.In just 2 minutes, a bottle of medicine has been prepared.

On the other side, apprentice Hu Jiuzheng clumsily under the command of Anshelek's gestures, he didn't even complete the classification of raw materials.

According to the rules, if one party prepares the medicine first, the other party can only stop and prepare the antidote within the specified time to try the poison.

The life-and-death battle not only compares the strength of the medicine, but also tests the skill and wisdom of the pharmacist himself.If you only want to be fast, then the medicinal properties may not be enough. If it is too slow, the opponent will take the initiative.

Li Qima signaled the referee to let the opponent try the medicine, Hu Jiu looked very nervous, closed his eyes and prayed for a while, then took the bottle of dark blue medicine tremblingly.

No one knew, what he was praying for was progress!schedule!

Under the attention of everyone, Hu Jiu looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, walked up to Master Anshelek, let the master smell it, and accepted a few whispers, then hurriedly prepared a bottle of antidote potion, and drank it first He swallowed it down, gritted his teeth, and drank Lichma's poison bottle.

One second, two seconds... 1 minute, 2 minutes passed, and the human being still didn't fall down, but instead showed surprise. It seemed that the antidote suggested by Master Anshelek had worked.

The audience immediately cheered, no matter what, Hu Jiu at least saved some face for Dark Moon City, only those who bet on human apprentices to be poisoned to death looked bitter.

In fact, Hu Jiu was not completely unscathed. Under the loose robe, the muscles in Hu Jiu's hands were showing a horrible twisting and twitching, which was very frightening, but fortunately, he regained his composure after a while.

According to the news from the information panel, the poison just now has reached the level of a gene virus, which can cause muscle necrosis and collapse.

And the startup progress of the Mecha Descending System, which has been progressing so hard, has really started to increase, 91.5%!

The effect is good, and it has increased by 1.5% under the premise of completing so much progress!

The smile on Hu Jiu's face was naturally uncontrollable.

The two referee masters looked at Hu Jiu who was safe and sound in surprise, and then set their eyes on Li Qima.Li Qima was very surprised, he didn't expect that Anshelek was so powerful, he could analyze the composition of the poison just by smelling it.

"Hmph, it's just a fluke." Li Qima's surprise lasted only a few seconds, and he immediately started dispensing medicine again.

It was just a trial just now, and the human apprentice looked like a novice at first glance, so there is no need to worry about speed, and he can prepare complex poisons with peace of mind.

Ten minutes later, Lichma's new medicine was released again, and Hu Jiu just barely mixed a part of the formula according to the proportion. Even ignorant viewers can see from Anshelek's anxious look that the current situation is very important to Dark Moon. One side is very bad.
