potion master

The snow-white cub immediately attracted the eyes of the boy and the man.

The young man froze for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Warcraft?"

Lyle was also stunned for a moment, and just about to put Bai Sai back into his clothes, the boy rushed over in surprise, leaned in front of Lyle, lowered his head, and sighed: "This is the first time I have seen such a good boy." A magical beast that stays beside humans, and it’s such a small cub. Where did you find it? Is it on a mountain? Isn’t the mother beast there?”

Lyle was unable to answer the series of questions, and the man with black shattered hair walked over slowly step by step, stretched out his hand with an elegant smile, and carried the boy over: "Gana."

The boy named Garner kicked his legs and struggled—his head almost reached the man's shoulders, and the latter easily lifted his feet off the ground—he blushed and complained: "Captain, Don't carry me like this, I know!"

Lyle forgot to be vigilant due to the interaction between the two, but couldn't help laughing.

When he first heard Puke talk about the Black Snake Mercenary Group and their leader, Lyall was filled with disbelief.But now seeing him in person, he felt that he was not as vicious as he had imagined.And recalling their battle with the Necromancer some time ago—the Necromancer is the enemy of Vatican Continent, and the Black Snake is their enemy, then the position of this mercenary group is not so difficult to guess.

Whether they are villains or murderers, Lyle has no idea, but at this moment these two people are more like ordinary magicians to him.

Bai yawned, looked away from the two of them in a lack of interest, groaned softly, and looked at Lyle coquettishly.

Lyle immediately understood what it meant, teased its chin and said in a low voice, "Want to go home?"

Bai licked his fingertips, looking at him expectantly with wet blue eyes, as if he couldn't wait.

Today's potions are almost sold out, so it's okay to go back now.

As Lyle thought to himself, he heard the man's deep voice.

"There is no crystal nucleus."

Lyle frowned slightly.

He has heard this sentence countless times.

Harley was puzzled when he first brought Bai home.Hugh noticed it when he came.And now this man also mentioned this matter.

Lyle has no research on the field of monsters, and he doesn't know where the crystal nuclei of which monsters grow. He only knows that most of the monsters on Mount Loren have crystal nuclei directly on their foreheads.

Bai is indeed strange.

If it is a monster, there is always a place where the crystal nucleus grows, but Lyle has never cared about it. After all, white is white, so what if there is no crystal nucleus?

Even if it had a crystal nucleus, he wouldn't pay attention to it.

So Lyle just replied lightly: "It was almost dead when I picked it up."

It's an exaggeration, but it's true.At least the little one passed out immediately when he followed him home.

"Are you saying that its crystal nucleus may have been taken away?" The man put down Garner, squatted down, and stretched out his fingers with a smile to caress his small white forehead.

Bai was already used to being teased like this. At the beginning, he would show his fangs fiercely at others, but now he gave him a disdainful look and let the other party play with him.

Lyle just said: "Maybe, I don't know. But Warcraft without crystal nucleus will be safer, isn't it?"

The man smiled slightly, withdrew his fingers, and said, "There is no wound on the forehead, and it seems to be healed well." As if he didn't hear Lyle's words.

"Captain!" Garner stood behind him with his hands on his hips and shouted dissatisfied.

"Got it, got it," the man said helplessly, stood up, and then said, "Is it okay to buy the remaining two bottles of 'Mila' for 18 Reddy?"

Lyle froze for a moment, then said, "Of course."

The man threw another heavy bag of money to Lyle.

Lyle caught it, glanced at the two, and handed them the remaining two bottles of "Mila".

The boy named Garner carefully put the potions bought today into the bag one by one, but the man looked at Lyle and said, "My name is Tilai, what about you?"

Lyle was stunned for a moment, although he never thought of telling someone who was equivalent to a stranger his name, but he had no reason to refuse, so he hesitated and said, "Lyle."

"Lyle?" Chewing on the name, Tilai smiled meaningfully, "We will meet again."

After saying this, he turned and left.

As soon as Garner finished loading the potion, he looked up and saw that there were no people there. He hurriedly greeted Lyle and followed, and shouted dissatisfiedly while running: "Leader, wait for me!"

People around him looked sideways because of his voice, and in the bustling crowd, the figure of a man named Tilai swayed and quickly disappeared.

Lyle froze for a moment and stood up.

Bai followed Lyle's movements and climbed onto his shoulders, hanging around his neck as usual.

Lyle narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw Garner's figure flashing past in the crowd. There was a black thing wrapped around his arm, twisting and coiling all the way to his shoulder.

The pointy little head rested on his shoulder, as if looking at Lyall through the crowd.

—It was a snake.

When they returned to the hut, Harley and Hugh hadn't returned yet.

Maya was also in the kitchen, and she just greeted Lyle briefly.

Lyle put down his things, took Bai into the door, and put it on the bed.

Bai Duan sat on the edge of the bed and watched him seriously, seeming a little puzzled.

Lyle looked at it for a while, then pushed it down on the bed, putting it on all fours.

Bai was not used to this kind of interaction, and struggled to get up, but was repeatedly pushed down by Lyle.

Lyle said, "Lie down, don't move."

Perhaps because he understood what he said, Bai obediently lay on his back on the bed, as if letting Lyle see enough.

Lyle inspected its body, but the more he looked, the more he frowned.

I didn't pay attention when I brought Bai back, and it was too late to check the wounds on its body, because after drinking his healing potion, the wounds were all healed.

Sure enough, there was no trace of the crystal nucleus on Bai's body. Was it really taken away by someone?

However, at that time, it would be implied that the man Bai was robbed of the crystal nucleus just to perfunctory those who could not see the purpose. In fact, Lyle didn't know whether Warcraft could survive without the crystal nucleus.

The crystal nucleus is filled with a lot of energy, and these energies should be the source of life for Warcraft.

Can a Warcraft that has lost its crystal nucleus still live well?

Thinking of this, Lyle complained softly: "You really don't make people worry."

Bai "grunt" with an innocent expression.

Harley and Hugh didn't come back until the evening. When they came back, they were smiling and seemed very happy. They probably had completed what they wanted to do.

Seeing Lyle, Harley raised his voice happily: "Lyle, look!"

He raised his hand, only to see a light gray crystal clear crystal core in his hand, a faint halo circulated in the crystal core, shining with a charming luster.

Lyle was stunned for a moment, this was the first time he saw the crystal nucleus that had escaped from the body of the monster.

Maya heard the sound and came out. When she saw the crystal nucleus, she exclaimed in a low voice: "What a beautiful crystal nucleus! Did you really find the gray heron's nest?!"

Xio proudly said: "With me here, how could I not find it?"

Harley muttered to himself: "Such a large crystal nucleus can be used to make many potions." He entered the room while talking.

Lyle laughed helplessly, vaguely remembering that Harley said that potions with crystal cores could be sold for a lot of money.But now the savings of the three of them have hundreds of thousands of Lei Di, but they don't know where to spend it.

Xio seemed a little tired after such a day, turned around and wanted to go back to his room, but Lyle stopped him.

"What's wrong?" Xio wondered.

Lyle asked directly: "Are you familiar with Warcraft?"

Perhaps guessing what Lyle wanted to ask, Xio thought about it and said, "I just read a lot of books on this topic, and I don't fully understand it."

"You noticed that Bai didn't have a crystal nucleus at the very beginning," Lyle hesitated, "When I picked it up, it had many wounds on its body, could it be because someone took away its crystal nucleus? ?”

Xio looked at him with complicated eyes, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Lyle didn't notice, but asked in distress: "Is it okay to have the crystal nucleus taken away? Isn't there a lot of energy in the crystal nucleus?"

"Do you want to know if the monster that has been deprived of its crystal nucleus can survive?" Xio finally asked such a question.

Lyle was stunned for a moment, always feeling that something was missing, after thinking about it carefully, he didn't know what was missing, so he nodded in confusion.

Xio sighed and said, "Of course monsters whose crystal nuclei have been taken away can live, but not for long. You are right, the energy in the crystal nuclei is the energy that monsters use to survive. Once the source of energy is lost, treat them The energy in the body is gradually depleted, and they will die."

Lyle froze slightly, and the whole person froze.

He opened his mouth, and suddenly became flustered. He wanted to speak a few times, but he couldn't make a sound. He just looked at Xio for help.

Hugh paused, and said helplessly: "I don't know how to tell you, maybe you will understand after a while."

"What do you mean?" Lyle was completely frightened by Xio's words just now. He couldn't think about anything at this time, but asked anxiously, "What about Bai? It looks very healthy! It will Die? Is there any remedy?"

Xio interrupted him: "You really like that monster so much?"

Lyle nodded, of course.From the day he met Bai, the significance of this monster that persistently followed him back to his home was not simple to him. Lyle regarded it as a relative, and no one could accept the news that his relatives might die at any time. .

Xio whispered: "But what if it leaves in the end?"

Lyle's expression was completely blank.

He stayed for a few seconds, and murmured: "Do you mean it will really die in the end?" After a pause, hope rose in his eyes, "What if I give it a healing potion? I can Go up the mountain every day to collect materials, if you give it potions every day, will it still die?"

Xio just pressed his shoulder to signal him to calm down, then shook his head and said, "Stop talking, don't take what I just said seriously. Bai won't leave you, even though Warcraft can't live without the crystal nucleus. , but it will take a long time to run out of energy. Maybe it will outlive you."

Lyle calmed down.

He remained silent for a moment, and finally sighed silently.

"I really treat it like family..."

Hearing this, Xio just lowered his eyes.
