Devil’s Son-in-Law - Chapter 18

[Chapter 18 Life and death battle!]

In this team from the imperial capital, there are majestic knights and well-equipped soldiers, the most eye-catching is the middle-aged man riding the black magic horse.

This is a slender demon with an ordinary appearance, but even the two master pharmacists by his side would not dare to neglect this man who is only a pharmacist, because he is Sandro, the fallen angel empire for 300 years. The most outstanding pharmacist genius!

The group was welcomed by the eldest princess Shia herself at the city gate. Although everyone showed considerable courtesy and respect to the eldest princess of the prince’s lineage, on the way to the palace, they looked at the shabby and depressing surroundings. When building, many people can’t help but show contempt, and the so-called superiority from the big city is palpable.

After entering the palace, the host and guests were seated, and Shia said: “Everyone has come from a long way, how hard it is, let’s take a rest for a day, and then discuss the challenge.”

Sandro got up and said, “Your Highness, I came here specially to challenge Master Ardas. I request to start the challenge now. Please forgive my eagerness to become a master.”

On the side, Master Zola and Master Kemp all had smiles on their faces. Originally, they wanted to make a surprise attack. If they gave two days’ notice, it was better to follow the rules of the Pharmacist Alliance. Otherwise, they would not give more in one day. Opportunity for procrastination?

“There’s nothing to rest in such a poor place.” A contemptuous voice came from the guest, it was the young knight who escorted the team, wearing a silver full-body armor.

Shia recognized that this was Shelter, the upstart of the military. His father was one of the first three generals of the Empire to fall to Obsidian.

Athena on the opposite side couldn’t hold back, got up and shouted: “Shelter, you cowardly fellow, how dare you despise the majesty of the princess! Pull out the sword and let me see if the defeated generals are improving!”

Shelter was defeated by Athena in the junior swordsmanship competition a few years ago, and when she revealed the old story in public, she was immediately furious and was about to start when she was stopped by Master Camp.

At this time, if there is an extraneous branch, and it is against Shia’s strategy, it is still important to return to the main topic.

Master Zola is also a dark elf, and said, “Why didn’t you see Master Ardas? It is the rules of the Pharmacist Alliance that the master must accept the challenge. There is no need for negotiation. Let’s go directly to his laboratory.”

Shia did not panic when he heard Master Zola go straight to the point, but said slightly embarrassed: “Actually, it is like this, when Master Ardas was testing a powerful new medicine three days ago, an accident occurred, and now he is seriously injured and lost. Mobility, unable to come, so I said to negotiate.”

“Oh?” Master Zola sneered: “Why did we happen to be here when Master Ardas had an accident? Could it be that he was afraid of Sandro’s reputation and evaded the challenge?”

Shia’s expression remained unchanged, and she asked back: “Master Ardas had an accident three days ago. At that time, he didn’t know that Sandro would come to challenge. Based on everyone’s itinerary, from the imperial capital to here, at least one was used. For many months, why did we only receive the magic message from the Apothecary Alliance two days before it arrived?”

This rhetorical question hit the nail on the head, not only clarifying Ardas’ innocence, but also vaguely pointing out that this was a conspiracy.

Master Zola was at a loss for words, and the master Camp, who served the demons, spoke up: “His Royal Highness Shia misunderstood, we were originally invited to visit Chiyou City by Lord Zhuoqie, the lord of Chiyou. Sandro made up his mind and decided to Come to the Darkmoon Territory to challenge Master Ardas first, so the magic communication is so hasty. If the eldest princess does not believe it, you can ask the eldest son of Lord Zhuoqi, Joseph, I remember he seems to be the financial officer of Darkmoon City. ”

The Scarlet You Territory is adjacent to the Dark Moon Territory. As a henchman of the Obsidian Prince, the Scarlet You Lord Zhuoqi is the “eye” of the imperial capital to monitor the Dark Moon.

Since most of the resources and funding of the Darkmoon Territory came from Chiyou, Shia had to reuse Joseph who came to “serve”.

Joseph is clearly a person from Darkmoon City,

If he testifies on this matter, it is even more impossible to refute.

Taking a step back, Sandro’s challenge is already procedural, and there is no point in arguing about the timing of the notice.

“No, how can I not trust Master Camp.” Shia nodded calmly, “I just sent Kagulon to ask the injured Master Ardas to see if he himself has a request for an extension of this challenge. ”

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

He can hide for a while, but he can’t hide for a lifetime. If the opponent wants to postpone, then Sandro will stay in Darkmoon City until Ardas “recovers” to fight. Anyway, he will not stop until Ardas is driven away.

Soon, the report of the chief of the palace guard Kagulon surprised the visitors of the imperial capital, including Sandro – the seriously injured Master Ardas was unwilling to postpone, and promised to openly accept Sandro’s advice in the center of the arena in Darkmoon City. challenge!

Sandru originally thought that the other party was going to delay the fight, but he was not expected to take the fight directly, but he was proud of himself and said proudly: “It is rare for Master Ardas to fight with an injury. In order to show my respect to him, I will go now. Arena, start the challenge.”

Shia’s icy face couldn’t see any fluctuations, and said lightly: “Since this is the case, please wait a moment, I will immediately send someone to the arena to arrange everything.”

The Darkmoon Arena is one of the largest buildings in the city. It was quite famous four hundred years ago. The Beelzebub royal family, who had disappeared at that time, appeared in Darkmoon City and controlled the Darkmoon Territory, attempting to invade the Chiyou Territory and threaten the imperial capital.

When Emperor Bai Ye heard the news and came, he fought against the Beelzebub royal family in this arena, and in the end he severely injured his opponent, and the man has since disappeared.

Corresponding to the long history of the arena is the dilapidated furnishings. Under the busyness of the guards such as Kakuron, 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 didn’t get such good treatment, but it didn’t affect their enthusiasm in the slightest. The originally deserted arena was overcrowded.

Although everyone is quite afraid of the master Ardas who often makes screams, but from the heart, I still hope that he can defeat those outsiders and win glory for the dark moon.

Amid all the attention, Sandro’s attendants skillfully placed a series of utensils and materials.

On the other side, Master Ardas was also carried into the arena on a stretcher, followed by the new apprentice Chen Rui, causing a commotion in the audience.

Humanity?

The appearance of Chen Rui made Sandro frown. After listening to Shia’s introduction to Chen Rui’s origin, he showed disapproval. Zola and Camp heard that Ardas actually took a human prisoner as an apprentice. Contempt.

It was the first time that Chen Rui faced such a big scene. Looking at the countless strange-looking demon faces around him, he calmed down, bowed to the VIP seat, and said aloud: “I am Chen Rui, the new apprentice of Master Ardas, Because the master was accidentally injured during the test and was temporarily unable to act, he was the one who directed me to accept the challenge, I wonder if Lord Sandro agrees?”

Commanding apprentices to take on the challenge?

And it’s a new apprentice!

This is the first time in the history of the master challenge. Although Ardas has a reason to be seriously injured and unable to act, Sandru clearly feels a kind of insult: Could it be that Ardas knew that he was going to fail, and simply managed to humiliate his opponent once before leaving. ?

“I agree,” Sandro stared at Ardas in the distance, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes: “I ask for a life-and-death battle. I wonder if Master Ardas has the courage to let that human apprentice play instead?”

Life and death battle!

Zola and Camp showed surprises. The battle of life and death is that the pharmacists directly test each other’s medicines with each other, not as substitutes.

The first to be poisoned is judged to be a failure, and it is generally the two sides who have deep hatred to do so.

Under this rule, even if Ardas sent the apprentice to play, as long as the apprentice was poisoned to death, he himself must accept the punishment of death.

The two masters Zola and Camp had absolute confidence in Sandro’s strength. Although they were surprised, they quickly regained their composure.

Sure enough, the opposite Ardas fell into contemplation and seemed to be thinking about something. The human apprentice showed fear and came to Ardas and whispered, as if he did not dare to fight.

The dark elf looked angry, his fingers trembling to point at the human, but he could only lift a little, and then fell down weakly, the appearance of serious injuries did not look like a fake.

The surrounding sounds were too noisy, and even those with a keen sense of hearing could not hear the whispers of the two.

Joseph looked in his eyes, and his brows could not help but lock up: According to the information from the insider, in fact, Ardas was not injured three days ago, but stayed in the laboratory for the past two days. Is it to deal with Sander? Lu, was accidentally injured by forcibly configuring some difficult potions?

In the end, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com Ardas made a decision to let the apprentice Chen Rui accept the battle of life and death instead of him. It seems that the dark elf master intends to use death to repay the princess’ kindness.

After the guards announced the rules of life-and-death battle to the ignorant audience, the people of Darkmoon City were in an uproar, and they felt more and more excited.

Sandru showed a cruel smile. He didn’t think there was any suspense in this fight. With his newly developed poison, even if Ardas ended up in person, he would only end up being poisoned, let alone the weak human being. .

Princess Shia announced the start of the game, and the surrounding noise suddenly fell silent. Everyone’s eyes fell on the poor human being. Some people are already betting, how long will human beings be poisoned to death?

a second?

Or two seconds?

Sandro quickly began to dispense the medicine. The masters Zola and Camp, who were the referees, sighed with their skilled and precise techniques. The genius pharmacist really lived up to its reputation.

In just two minutes, a bottle of medicine was ready.

On the other side, the apprentice Chen Rui was clumsily under the command of Ardas’ gestures, and he did not even complete the classification of the raw materials.

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

The battle of life and death is not only a test of the strength of the pharmacist, but also a test of the pharmacist’s own skills and wisdom.

If you only want to be fast, then the medicinal properties may not be enough. If it is too slow, the opponent will grab the first move.

Sandro signaled the referee to let the other party test the medicine. Chen Rui seemed very nervous. He closed his eyes and prayed for a while before taking the bottle of dark blue medicine with trembling.

No one knows, what he is praying for is progress!
