potion master

Opening his eyes suddenly, the potion masters standing around him were gone, and the potion was also gone, leaving only a mist.

Lyle frowned and looked around.

It was surrounded by fog and there was no one to be seen.

Although the situation was a bit sudden, Lyle did not panic too much.When he was attacked by a necromancer in the main city before, his consciousness was as dissociated as it is now. It is estimated that this is the "backlash" of the necromancer's mana.However, the attack by the necromancer made him go through his memory, and his sanity returned after the memory was restored. Now what?

There is no missing part of his memory, so where is he now?How can I return to reality?

Lyle walked slowly without direction in this whiteness, and at the same time released several elemental forces to explore the surroundings, but unfortunately he didn't feel anything.

Suddenly, he heard something and stopped.

In the mist ahead, a figure stumbled towards him.

When the man ran close, Lyle showed a surprised expression.

The blond man was wearing a black magic robe, and an amethyst in his belt shone with a strange light.

He ran over and hugged Lyle, and Lyle took a step back in shock.

"Olanya, I finally found you!" said a familiar voice, "Where have you been?"

When the man let go of him and checked his body up and down, Lyle silently looked at the man in front of him.

Although both visual and tactile senses are real, Haixiu has already been killed by him, and the person in front of him is an illusion.

Haixiu frowned and said, "Why didn't you speak? Are you injured?"

Lyle watched him, took his hands off him, and said softly, "I'm fine."

Haixiu stopped talking, and after staring at him for a few seconds, he suddenly smiled and said, "You must think I'm hallucinating, right?"

Lyle was taken aback.

"I was indeed killed by you, but you know, my soul went to the undead world," Haixiu withdrew his hand and raised his eyebrows, "I didn't die, and the undead in the potion you are making Magic just happened to bring your consciousness to the realm of the undead."

Lyle was a little suspicious—Haishiu meant that he was in the world of the undead now?

"You don't believe it?" Hai Xiu suddenly turned his head.

Following his gaze, Lyle suddenly found that many undead were wandering aimlessly around them.Those people's eyes were dull, and they walked around lifelessly like dead bodies.

"These people have had a lot of souls devoured. Their souls are missing, so they will slowly lose their memories, personalities, and become walking dead," Haixiu said, then turned his head and curled his lips, "Olan Ya, I'm about to become a necromancer."

The last sentence finally brought Lyle back to his sanity. He took a few steps back, looked at Haixiu coldly and said, "Those undead are also fake, right?" If this is an illusory world constructed by the magic power of undead, Those undead can naturally be created out of thin air.

Haixiu smiled, and suddenly a man in a cloak appeared beside him.

It was a necromancer.

Haixiu said: "Take us to this world, let Olanya accept the truth."

Lyle frowned, and before he could make a sound, the surrounding scene changed—he appeared on the main road of the main city, which was full of traffic!

He looked at Haixiu suspiciously, and asked coldly, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Haixiu held his hand and said with a smile, "Look, the people around can't see you and me."

Lyle withdrew his hand and said nothing.

Haixiu looked at him silently for a while, then moved forward with a twitch.

Lyle stood there for a while, then followed.Only by following along can we know the way out.

Haixiu led him all the way into the palace, no one noticed them around, when people were about to bump into them, Lyle wanted to dodge, but Haixiu held him, and finally those people would pass through Their bodies walked behind them without feeling.

Then Haixiu would let go of his hand and smile at him.

Lyle didn't respond, this was just to let him know that he was indeed just a "consciousness" or a "soul".But if he knew clearly in his heart that he was not "dead", what was the point of doing so?

And what does this "Haixiu" want him to see?

Entering the palace, they walked through long corridors.

The guards walked hurriedly with worried faces, as if something happened in the palace.

In front of the door of Mei Suo's room, Haixiu stopped.

Lyle was a little surprised when he saw Messo lying on the bed and Luside sitting on the head of the bed, but then his expression softened.

"Are you in love with Luside?" Haixiu asked suddenly.

Lyle was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "It's none of your business."

"It's none of my business?" After a pause, Haixiu whispered, "I've been with you for more than ten years and you haven't fallen in love with me, why did you fall in love with Luside after only being together for so long? gone?"

Lyall's body tensed up.

Haixiu told the truth that he had been hesitating in his heart.Why?He didn't understand either.

If you really want to say that, he must have failed Haixiu's expectations.He was the one who had been with him for more than ten years, why did he give his feelings to Luside in the end?However, things like feelings are not academic, and they don't need to follow a set of mechanisms.

It's not that you will fall in love after a long time, and it's not that you will fall in love after being waited for. There are no rules for feelings.

Thinking of this, Lyle was taken aback.

Yes, since he thinks this way, it means that he still has feelings for Luside in his heart.

"Ah, your expression," Haixiu said suddenly, "it really makes me sad... Olanya."

Lyle clenched his hands into fists when he caught a glimpse of his wry smile, and whispered, "What exactly do you want?"

"How?" Haixiu approached him step by step, his blue eyes fixed on him, "Why did you do this kind of thing? Don't you feel sorry for me? I'm your best friend, Olan Ya!"

Lyle frowned and said, "But you chose undead magic and left us."

"If I stay by your side all the time, will you fall in love with me?" Haixiu laughed, "You are obviously attracted by Luside, but if you continue to fall in love with him, won't it make you fall in love with him if I stay? Are you more distressed? In fact, after killing me, you are relieved! I left, isn't it easier for you to look directly at your inner feelings? Olanya, you are not so great, you are also selfish!"

Lyle was stunned. He didn't expect Haixiu to say such a thing, so he couldn't help saying angrily: "Haishiu, I regard you as my best friend. I did make a mistake in terms of feelings, but as long as you It was my promise, and I will be responsible to the end. I have never felt relieved by your death!"

"Really? But when you killed me, your expression was very cold," Haixiu said sarcastically, "At that time, I really wanted to strangle you like this, so that I could take you to the world of the undead."

Lyle took a step back and looked at him with a sullen face.

Haixiu stretched out his hand and pulled him back, then made him turn around and look at the situation inside the house.

"Open your eyes and see, is Luside really as good as you think? Is it true that he kept saying that he never planned to compete with me for the throne?"

"Let me go!" Lyle frowned, but was quickly attracted by the situation in the house.

Luside kept looking down at Messo.He held a small bottle of red potion in a crystal bottle in his hand.

Lyle subconsciously thought that it was the potion made from that piece of red crystal.

Mei Suo woke up suddenly, the father and son whispered a few words, Luside helped Mei Suo sit up, smiled and put the crystal bottle in Mei Suo's hand.

Mei Suo looked at the crystal bottle in his hand for a long time, and said something very soft, but Lyle could hear it clearly.

"Luside, it's time for this kingdom to usher in their new king."

Luside paused slightly, and said with a smile: "Father, don't talk about such things, this is a potion made by Teacher Medea and the others. You will be fine after drinking it."

The lid of the crystal bottle was opened, and the red liquid slowly dripped into the old man's mouth.

Then slowly, Mei Suo's body fell down slowly.

Lucid supported him and slowly put him on the bed.After Mei Suo completely closed his eyes, a person entered the room through Lyle and Haixiu.

Lyle was stunned, it was Medea.

Medea's face was a little pale, and her voice trembled slightly: "Your Highness, that potion has completely failed, why do you still..."

"Ah, did you fail?" Luside said softly, his eyes moved over, and he said calmly, "I thought this was a potion that could heal Father's soul."

"Why...why!" Medea roared suddenly, "This potion failed! Many potion masters were backlashed by undead magic and lost their lives! You clearly know...you clearly know..."

Luside stood up, and after a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "I don't know."

"Why... His Majesty Messo, he..."

Luside interrupted her and just said lightly: "It's time for this kingdom to usher in their new king."

Lyle turned around and said blankly: "Why show me these things, do you really think I can't tell the truth from the fake?"

"Olanya, you should understand," Haixiu said with a light smile, "Why can the backlash of undead magic kill people? It's because their consciousness has fallen into an illusion. This illusion has infinite details in their hearts." Zooming in and confronting them with what they've been afraid to look at."

"You dare not face Luside's feelings in reality, you dare not admit that Haixiu's death really made you feel relieved, and you didn't notice Luside's true face. You see, the reality has already placed you in this way. You look smooth sailing since you were born, but is your life really that happy?—In fact, it’s a mess at all.”

Lyle took a step back.

"Haixiu" has turned into a vague figure, but his voice is lingering in his ears like a ghost.

Lyle felt that his brain was completely messed up, he covered his ears, and his heart beat faster and faster.

"Your best friend left you because of undead magic, and the person you fell in love with can be merciless to his father! Do you really believe in your own judgment? In fact, everything is false... After people lose their bodies , to reveal your most original appearance! The body is a mask, you can never see through the mask their true appearance, including the ugliest part of your heart..."

"Shut up!" Lyle yelled.

At that moment, many pictures flooded into his mind.

When I was with Haixiu when I was young, I always paid attention to the situation when Lucy was standing in the corner, the situation when he was questioned by Haixiu in the dungeon, the situation when he stabbed the flame blade into Haixiu's body...

The scene of sleeping with Bai in the arms of Mount Loren, the scene of Luside transforming into a snow wolf to rescue him from the Necromancer, and the scene of Luside confessing to him in his ear late at night...

Lyle never dared to admit that even though Haixiu had chosen undead magic to betray them, he still felt guilty towards Haixiu.If he could love Haixiu, would Haixiu choose the necromancer without hesitation?

It is obviously a thought that should not be had anymore, it is obviously a wrong thought... Lian Kai also said that Haixiu should not be brought between him and Luside again.

His guilt towards Haixiu made him unable to face Luside, and his feelings for Luside made him unable to face Haixiu. This unbearable situation made him really want to escape.

escape...

Suddenly, Medea stepped quickly out of the room, and walked away through him without a word.

Lyle was stunned, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly took two steps forward.

Luside sat back on the side of the bed, staring at the void in a daze.The room was very quiet. After a long time, he moved his lips and said a word softly.

Lyle stayed there.

These words gathered his already scattered thoughts like thunder in an instant.

Only then did Lyle wake up, and suddenly found that Haixiu had disappeared, Messo had also disappeared, and the surrounding scenes were slowly disappearing.

Suddenly, Luside looked at him.

Lyle was stunned for a moment, and just as he was stunned, all the surroundings had disappeared and turned into a vast expanse of whiteness again, leaving only Luside sitting not far away, slowly disappearing from his feet.

Lyle instantly understood!

That's right, regardless of whether his inner world is enlarged here or not, these are all constructed by undead magic!

Those scenes, those characters, it was all necromantic magic - they worked in his mind, shaking him by magnifying his heart!However, because it is "magnification", the essence of many things will not change.

Because he heard what Luside said.

Luside said: "Lyle, I miss you very much."

This sentence made him wake up instantly, and it was precisely because he had withdrawn his thoughts from negative thoughts that the mana of the undead lost its effect and planned to escape!

Once this opportunity is lost, it will be difficult to return to reality!

Lyle didn't hesitate any longer, wind, wood, water, fire, earth, all the elemental forces attacked Luside, who had already disappeared half in the distance, and surrounded him heavily!

"Bang" loud noise!

Lyle suddenly opened his eyes, and was surprised to find that many potion masters around him had fallen to the ground and lost consciousness, and only Medea and two other potion masters were holding on with him.

When Medea saw him, she called out, "Olanya, get up!"

Strange magic power is sweeping out!

Lyle gasped, and immediately released all the magic power!

The magic power caught a large group of undead mana, but this time, the undead mana couldn't backfire, and soon fused into the potion under his cautious guidance!

The moment the potion was finished, a strange but gentle power burst out!

Lyle took a staggering step back, and was hugged from behind the moment he fell.

Many magicians rushed in and helped the potion masters who fell on the ground to their feet.

Medea and the remaining two potion masters also fell to the ground, their faces pale.

Lyle lay in the arms of the man behind him, closing his eyes and panting.

"Lyle! Lyle!" Luside shouted anxiously in his ear.

Lyle opened his eyes, turned around and rested his forehead on the other's shoulder, and said softly, "Thank you."

The production of the potion this time has attracted the attention of many people.The weird power of the potion spread throughout the entire palace, and when the situation was about to get out of control, Luside had already brought the magicians here.But Medea was still awake at that time, and she made it clear that no one else could interfere at this time, otherwise all previous efforts would be wasted.

Lyle didn't know what happened to the potionists who fainted during the process, he was helped by Luside all the way to Luside's room.

Lyle lay on the bed tiredly, and when he heard Luside say that he was going to find a doctor for him, he reluctantly held him back.

"I'm fine, I'm just tired."

Lucid stopped.After a few seconds, he asked, "How did you wake up?"

Lyle was taken aback.

"You are the only one who woke up after falling down," Luside asked, frowning, "What happened?"

what's going on……

Lyle did realize a lot of emotions that had been buried in his heart, but could he really talk to Luside about those things?

That's right, he did like Luside, and he did feel guilty.

But what Kay said was right, the past is in the past.He and Haixiu had indeed broken up, which was an irreparable fact.

It is precisely because he has been unable to mind that the undead magic will seize this weakness and attack his consciousness.

Seeing that Lyle had been looking at him without saying a word, Luside was stunned, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lyle shook his head with a smile, and suddenly asked: "What if I died while making potions with those potion masters?"

"What?" Lucid frowned.

"I said that if we die and the potion production fails, the undead mana in this potion is not transformed into healing power, and the potion becomes poison, what will you do?"

"Why do you ask such a question?"

After a pause, Lyle shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Everything in the illusion is no longer important.If I really want to say it, recalling it now, Luside at the time was not so much trying to kill Messo to win the throne, but more like giving Messo and himself a relief.

That's right, if the potion production fails, Messo has no cure, why bother to suffer from illness like this?

Luside is not someone who is obsessed with power, not to mention that Messo has promised to pass on the throne to him, it is impossible for him to kill his father for power.

"Lyle, are you really alright?" His chin was lifted suddenly, and when he met Shang Luside's worried gaze, Lyle blushed subconsciously.

He coughed twice, turned his head away uncomfortably, and said with lowered eyes: "...I'm fine."
