The Last Alchemist

Rosen knew the voice outside the door. It was one of the three guard captains of the mansion, named Drew.

Among the three captains, Drew had the best temper and was the easiest to talk to. After finding out that it was him, Rosen was slightly relieved. He asked in a daze, "Captain Drew, what's the matter?"

"Looking for someone! Don't ask any more questions, just open the door!" Drew's voice was very serious.

"I'm coming."

Rosen got up from the bed and opened the wooden door. A gust of cool wind blew in from outside. He immediately shuddered and couldn't help but shrink his body. He looked at the guard captain Drew carefully: "Captain, what's the matter at night?"

Dru saw that Rosen was wearing thin clothes and shivering from the cold, so he waved his hand: "Don't worry about it, go back to bed and sleep, be careful not to catch a cold."

As he said, he waved to the two guards following behind him: "Search carefully!"

The two guards responded and walked into the wooden house to start searching.

It was called a search, but it was more like perfunctory. The reason was simple. The cabin was very small, and there was no furniture inside. There was only a simple wardrobe and a small bed. You could see everything at a glance.

The two of them walked around the cabin casually, opened the wardrobe and looked under the bed, and finally looked at the beams, and then returned to the door to report: "Captain, no one."

Captain Drew had no doubts at all. He didn't believe that the cabin could hide anyone. It was just a routine to check the cabin. Looking at Rosen's drowsy appearance, it was obvious that he didn't know what happened at all.

He gestured to the guards: "Let's go and search the next place!"

The two guards left the cabin, and Drew nodded to Rosen: "Okay, it's okay, you go back to sleep. Remember, don't ask around, just pretend nothing happened, understand?"

"Yeah~" Rosen nodded repeatedly.

Captain Drew turned and left. When he walked five or six meters away, Rosen closed the wooden door.

"Ah~~ So exciting."

Although he knew that the probability of being discovered was extremely small, Rosen was still very nervous when the time came. If something unexpected happened and Lilith was discovered by the other party, he would have to fight to the death to protect himself.

Although he might not lose, and might even have a greater chance of winning, the Blue Moon Mansion would definitely be turned upside down by him. These ordinary guards would probably die without a single one left, and Earl Derek would definitely not survive. Tomorrow morning, this matter would become the most explosive news in the city of Nerogard.

As for him, he would definitely not be able to stay in the city of Nerogard. He would have to flee with Annie overnight, and he might not have the opportunity to return to this city in the future.

This result now is the most ideal.

He returned to bed, wrapped himself in the quilt and lay down. After the guards outside the window went away, he calmed down and listened carefully to the movement in the secret compartment under the bed.

‘The breathing is more even than before, and the heartbeat is also much stronger than before. It seems that the antidote I spent a lot of effort to make has taken effect. Not bad, not bad, Miss Linde, it seems that you are very lucky. ’

Rosen felt relieved and began to lie on the bed with his eyes closed.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Rosen did not fall asleep. He kept listening and paying attention to the movements in the Blue Moon Mansion and the secret compartment under the bed.

Dozens of guards in the mansion did not sleep either. They searched everywhere for Lilith's whereabouts.

At first, they searched every corner of the Blue Moon Mansion. After finding nothing, they carefully began to search the streets around the mansion. After finding nothing in the streets, they returned to the Blue Moon Mansion to search again, and so on.

It was tossing and turning until three o'clock in the morning.

In the mansion, Earl Derek and the magician Green did not fall asleep either.

They sat in the lobby on the first floor of the mansion waiting for news. Whenever the guards came from outside to report the progress, both of them showed hope in their eyes. But after the guards finished their report, the two were disappointed.

In the dark corner of the mansion hall, there was another person, no, to be more precise, a monster, who was also paying attention to the progress of the guards' search.

This monster was naturally the chameleon.

In the shadow behind the pillar of the hall where he was, he waited patiently. As long as the guards found the magician's hiding place, he would immediately rush over to kill the magician, and then bring her body back and put it on the bed in Earl Derek's bedroom.

'Hehe, then Earl Derek will be very surprised. '

In a residential building in the city of Nerogard, the naturalist Linnaeus was also waiting for news in the room, but after waiting for most of the night, his accomplice still did not come back.

'I don't know how the chameleon guy is doing? '

'Damn chameleon, you just killed a noble, but you have to do so many tricks, don't expect me to cooperate with you next time! ’

Amid the expectations and disappointments of many people, the clock turned to 4:30 in the morning, and the city of Nerogard began to "wake up". The first wave of early-rising busy people appeared on the streets, and the patrol guards began to increase.

Under such circumstances, the guards of the Blue Moon Mansion had to stop searching the streets near the mansion.

Mansion Hall.

Earl Derek and magician Green did not sleep all night, and both of them had blue and bloodshot eyes.

"How can you not find it? Did you see it wrong?" Earl Derek was almost crazy. He was very panicked now. He was afraid that the servants in the mansion would suddenly run in and tell him that the great magician of Nerogard was visiting, which meant that the matter was exposed, and then he would be finished.

Magician Green was also a little confused, but he was much calmer than Earl Derek: "Lord Earl, don't panic yet. My judgment is definitely not wrong. I haven't found anyone now, there is only one possibility!"

"What's possible?" Earl Derek asked hurriedly.

"Miss Linde died of poison and died in a dirty corner. This corner may have been a well or a sewer, or she simply made a transmission error and was transported into the stone wall of a building and killed herself alive. Suffocated to death. In short, with the poison in her body, there is absolutely no chance of her surviving!" Magician Green was very sure.

"What if she has the antidote?" Earl Derek asked.

Green shook his head: "Impossible. I have carefully analyzed the toxin. It is a unique toxin similar to snake venom. Its ingredients are very complex. If you want to find the antidote, you must go through thousands of experiments. She simply doesn't have the time. , no one in the world has this time!”

Earl Derek half understood what he heard, but the obscure words that kept coming out of Green's mouth made him feel relieved: "Perhaps, Lilith is really dead, what a pity, what a pity~~Hey~~"

Green continued: "For the sake of this search, there is no need to continue. What we have to do next is to wait and wait for God's judgment. If Lilith does not return to the academy today, it means that God is on our side. aside."

Earl Derek nodded and said to the messenger guard on the side: "Go, let everyone come back and let everyone have a good rest."

"Yes, Lord Earl." The guard retreated.

Just when the two gave up the search, new movements appeared in Rosen's cabin.

"Dong~~dong~~"

There was a slight movement in the secret compartment under Rosen's bed, as if someone was tapping the wooden planks of the secret compartment with their hands.

Rosen was half awake and half asleep. When he heard the noise, he immediately woke up. He put his ear to the bed and listened carefully for a while. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "This girl is awake. The toxins have almost been removed from her body. Very weak, basically in a half-dead quantum state.”

Even Rosen's current undead physique couldn't bear it, wearing a thin dress and staying in a cold pit for a night in the middle of winter, let alone an ordinary woman whose body was almost collapsed by the poison. .

Then here comes the problem.

The guards were still searching the mansion relentlessly. If he released the person from the secret cell now, he would most likely be discovered as soon as the guards came. If it is not released, the opponent may freeze to death, or, due to her survival instinct, she will find a way to escape from the hidden compartment and be discovered.

After weighing the situation, Rosen decided to get the person out of the dark room. If the girl froze to death, his work would have been in vain all night.

"Forget it, save people until the end. Just take risks!"

Rosen reluctantly got out of the warm quilt, put on his clothes, then crawled under the bed, and whispered to the gap in the secret compartment: "Miss Linde, don't be nervous, I will let you out now. But please remember , you are not out of danger yet, so don’t say anything!”

The movement in the dark grid stopped, and the female magician must have heard Rosen's words.

Rosen was not in a hurry to let them go. He listened carefully to the movement outside the window. After confirming that the nearest mansion guard was more than 20 meters away from the cabin, he lay down and gently moved the debris on the hidden wooden board away. Opened the plank.

At this moment, a faint white light appeared under the bed again.

Then, Rosen found that his neck was pinched by a force, and he could hardly move. The weak voice of the female magician came to his ears: "Who are you? Where am I?"

The force on his neck was very strong, and ordinary people would definitely not be able to break away. However, it was not difficult for Rosen, but it would cause more trouble. He lay motionless under the bed and answered honestly: "I am Rosen, Lan." The gardener of the glass garden of Yue Mansion, you are still in Blue Moon Mansion.”

"You're lying! How can an ordinary gardener have so many alchemical weapons?!"

"Okay, actually, I am an alchemist, and I am particularly interested in plant cultivation. I heard that there is a naturalist named Linnaeus in the Blue Moon Mansion, who is very good at growing flowers, so I came here to steal his skills. Oh, by the way, ex A few days ago, I discovered that he was using a special fertilizer to water the white round-headed mushrooms. I quietly researched it and found out that it was poison, and then I refined the corresponding antidote. Coincidentally, I used these antidotes to save you. "

After saying that, Rosen couldn't help but cheer for himself. His excuse was so perfect.

Lilith seemed to believe it, and she let go of Rosen's neck. This action greatly consumed her little energy. She panted rapidly, and it took a while before she spoke: "Why did you save me?"

Rosen shrugged his shoulders: "It just happened. Do you want me to die without saving you?"

As he spoke, he reached out and tried Lilith's forehead with the back of his hand. He found that it was as cold as an ice cube. He said, "You must be very cold now, right?"

Lilith's body did not move. She only blinked and acknowledged Rosen's words.

"Then it's too cold in this secret compartment. You can't stay here. Can I help you out?"

Lilith blinked again, agreeing.

Rosen took the man out from the secret compartment under the bed and stuffed him directly into the bed where he had slept before, leaving only his head outside. The bed was still warm, which should help her regain some body temperature.

He ran to the wooden door again, lay down at the crack of the door, and secretly looked out.

After watching for a while, he found that there seemed to be fewer guards in the mansion than before. Come to think of it, after searching all night in the winter, they must be exhausted, and the mansion is so small, there is no point in searching further, so they must be resting now.

While observing, he asked: "It's almost dawn outside, I have to go to the greenhouse to work later. It must be dangerous for you to stay in the wooden house alone. I have done everything I can. I also know that you are a space magician. Otherwise, you can teleport back to the academy directly later, okay?"

No response.

After waiting for a while, Rosen felt strange and turned his head to see that Lilith's eyes were closed, her face was pale like a corpse, and her breathing was almost imperceptible.

She fell into a deep coma, the kind of critical state that would die if no one cared about her.

"Oh~ This is really a big trouble!"

Rosen was going crazy.
