Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

"Your little apprentice is in a serious situation." Xia En said to Zhou Lingke after leaving the duty range of the guards outside the king's account.

After all, the two of them were far away from the center of Mang Tan's group. It was one thing to know that the king would be suppressed, but it was the first time to see how suppressed it was today.

Zhou Lingke was taken aback after Prince Zoe spoke, and finally chose to go forward to the bottom of the steps and salute the king. After Frank gave him a little help, he stood up and began to answer Prince Zoe's question.It didn't take a few minutes for the whole set of actions, but Prince Zoe's complexion was already as dark as the bottom of a pot, and even some of the ministers who walked around showed very unhappy expressions.

The last time Zhou Lingke saw that prince, he still looked like a virtuous king who was loyal to the emperor and loved the people, but now he is so secretive. It doesn't take much thinking to know that he is used to being exalted in the past three years.Wait until Zhou Lingke replied: "That kind of potion can indeed make the 'thing' that drank the potion have a power far beyond ordinary people, but it is not successful. Now that kind of potion is the same as a highly poisonous poison, and drinking it means death. So what this potion produces is not a strong person, but a strong undead." Prince Zoe immediately became even more unhappy.

"Then why have I never heard of you working on this potion before?"

"Why should I tell you what I'm studying?" Zhou Lingke's tone was also aggressive, "Besides, I don't think I'm here to stand trial now."

"Your Highness, even if I told you about the research on magic alchemy, can you understand?" But there is another person who is more aggressive than Zhou Lingke, Master Bolivi.This is also the first time that Zhou Lingke and Xia En have seen this old man be so ignorant—Prince Zoe is a magic idiot. Magic talent, his magic affinity and magic comprehension are all negative.He is the only one in the Mangtan royal family, if there is no blood magic to confirm the royal blood, there will definitely be many people who doubt the prince's blood.Because Frank, for example, has a good talent for magic, but because of his status, he can't let go of his royal power and concentrate on studying magic, that is, learning two-handed self-defense or leisure.

As soon as Master Polivi finished saying this, Prince Zoe's face immediately turned from black to white, especially among the officials present there were a few laughing, and the one who laughed the loudest was Archbishop Candiboya.

Prince Zoe obviously took a deep breath and resumed his serious expression: "We don't have to ask about the things you are studying, but as far as we know, Dr. Shirp is here to treat you, why did he go to treat you? That kind of tragedy will happen to him—as a doctor, I believe he is not a person who eats indiscriminately."

"He did heal me, the fault is entirely my fault, I am willing to pay compensation." Zhou Lingke nodded, and took out a clay pot from the storage ring at the same time, "My alchemy potions and drinks are stored in similar containers , After that doctor treated me, I originally wanted to treat him with drinks and food. But in the end, I took the wrong one."

This is a lie!Not to mention standing in the corner of the door and listening, Xia En, who knew the whole story, was so sure.Others in the room were pretty sure of that, too.

"Aren't you afraid that you may accidentally drink the wrong drink?" An unknown official couldn't help but speak.

As soon as he said this, Zhou Lingke immediately lifted the wax seal of the clay pot, raised the pot and drank two mouthfuls.When he put down the clay pot, anyone with good eyesight could clearly see a few drops of dark black liquid hanging from his lips.In a world without Coca-Cola, the color of the liquid would often be abnormal or even dangerous.

"Who wants to help with a couple of bites?"

That is to say, Zhou Lingke showed with practical actions that no matter what is in his jar, he will be fine if he drinks it himself.But this is still false, who would quench their thirst with their own research results.But none of the people present was willing to taste it. Some people didn't want to expose Zhou Lingke, but the rest didn't dare.The people staying here are all Mangtan's top real power figures, and all of them are not young, so there is no need to joke about their own lives just to take a gamble.

"Let that soldier..." Prince Zoe suddenly raised his finger and pointed at Xia En who was standing at the door, but he only spoke at the beginning, and the rest was frozen by a sudden cold breath.He found that Zhou Lingke was looking at him. His black and white eyes could have been described as "beautiful", but the thought flashed through Prince Zoe's mind, as if he was looking at a fierce beast.

"If there's no problem, I'll take my leave." Seeing Prince Zoe shut his mouth obediently, Zhou Lingke just nodded to Frank as farewell, turned around and left.Of course, he held Xia En's hand at the door. It was probably the first time in his life that he did such an arrogant thing.When he walked out of the door, he suddenly had the feeling that the poor long-term laborer had eloped with the lady of the landlord's family.

Xia En didn't know that Zhou Lingke was still in a trance.He was thinking about the reckless political situation. Prince Zoe did not have the courage that a heroic regent should have just now, and he was even a bit stupid.But it's not that the prince is really stupid, he just didn't regard Zhou Lingke as an important person, so he tried to get what he wanted from them in the simplest and rude way, but the ship capsized in the gutter.

If the two of them also think that Prince Zoe is a fool, then the unlucky people will switch places next time.

With a decision in mind, Xia En realized that Zhou Lingke hadn't answered his question just now, so he nudged him lightly with his elbow.

"Ah? Huh? Oh! By the way! It's also the first time I have had close contact, and it's already completely embarrassing depending on the situation, but this shows that your previous analysis is correct. It's just that the time is probably shorter than you thought. It's close." The so-called previous analysis was about how Zhou Lingke stood in line.If the situation continues, a coup will be inevitable, and whoever controls the military power in the capital will be the biggest winner.Who has the most military power in the capital?Not the general of the Guards, nor the nearest garrison general, but Zhou Lingke who has mastered two war beasts!Someone must come to win him over, or use some other means to get in touch with Zhou Lingke.Didn't the Queen Mother already do it?But Xia En and Zhou Lingke chose the king.

"Actually, this riot is a bit weird." Xia En participated in the rescue later, but he also heard other people's comments. Is it just a coincidence that the crazy wolf bit Zhou Lingke's thigh? "By the way, what's in your jar?" It was a bit too heavy to continue thinking about it, Xia En changed the subject and asked about the jar just now.

Zhou Lingke immediately took out the clay pot: "Herbal tea, I wanted to study it secretly before I told you, I know you like drinking tea."

There are three types of beverages in this world: animal milk, fruit juice, and wine.

Sure enough, Xia En's eyes lit up immediately, he took the jar over, and sniffed it, and it really was a very familiar fragrance of tea.Xia En took a sip, even though it was cold, but the sweet aroma spread in his mouth immediately, making him unable to help but close his eyes comfortably and let out two hums: "How do you use this broken jar?" Tea? What a pity!"

"...Boss...then where do you think I can find a tea set?" Zhou Lingke felt that his petty heart would be overwhelmed. It was over, and even her husband would not want tea.

"Alas..." Xia En sighed, and glanced at Zhou Lingke, whose eyes were full of Hong Guoguo's reproach, almost like a knife would cut him, "Where's the rest of the tea leaves?"

Zhou Lingke honestly took out a bulging bag the size of a human head from the storage ring and handed it over. Xia En took it and saw that the dark foreign tea leaf looked a bit like perilla.And it smells tasteless. It's hard to imagine that such a thing can make such a sweet tea.

"After you left last time, I accidentally found a plant. This thing is a catalyst for alchemy materials. But the strange thing about this thing is that it is tasteless when soaked in hot water, but it is fragrant when soaked in cold water. So I thought I have a surprise for you..." Zhou Lingke looked at Xia En pitifully, Xia En couldn't ignore his eyes even if his attention was attracted by the tea from another world, and when he thought about it, he seemed to be a bit too much?

Seeing that no one was around, Xia En took a sip of tea, kissed Zhou Lingke's lips and crossed over...

No one else entered Zhou Lingke's previous tent. I don't know if it was the result of Pie sitting in it.Sean should be back at his Guards camp, and he's AWOL now, right?But this thought just passed by, and Xia En had no idea of ​​going back.When Zhou Lingke pulled him, he also untied his belt and fell to the ground with his strength.Parting from life to death, I have experienced a farewell before my eyes, even if the sky is falling now, don't even think about the two of them being separated.

Pie squatting in the corner shrank himself even smaller, and the cat was still a little annoyed. After all, it had grown up and now took up too much space.

The next morning, the hunting team packed up and started their journey back.This time Xia En was supposed to return to the team, but Zhou Lingke held him back: "Don't go, I'm afraid that if I don't go abroad, the situation here will be chaotic. And when I go abroad, I want you to go with me."

"Let's put the chaotic situation aside, how could Mang Tan let me go?"

"I want you to come with me, who can stop me?"

"You are..."

"Ouch! Why are you pulling my skin?"

"I never dreamed that you could say such powerful and domineering words. See if someone is pretending to be you."

"I'm so handsome, who can pretend to be me?"

"This sentence seems to be what you said." Xia En smiled, but he didn't bring up the matter again. He was considered a deserter, but no one came to arrest him for military law.

On the third day after returning to the capital, at night, Xia En and Zhou Lingke were drinking dark herbal tea while playing homemade checkers. Suddenly, there was a loud "Boom!" outside, and they hurried out to watch. Flames are rising in the direction of the palace!
