This is impossible, Alpha is very clear... If there is no antidote, the effect of the potion will never diminish—but the situation before him really makes him unable to understand, the Duke of Angmar has seemed to He began to regain some consciousness, no matter how much medicine he gave the other party, it didn't work, and when he walked into the room yesterday, the Duke even asked the question "Where is Sally" in a clear and orderly manner!
Alpha, who encountered this situation for the first time, was so frightened that he almost threw the food out.
After such a situation occurred, it would be a torment for Alpha to walk into this bedroom every time. He was afraid that one day the Duke would suddenly get rid of the effects of the potion and regain consciousness—if that happened, What should I do
Kill him first? No, Lord Ansardin will definitely not spare me...
When such thoughts lingered in his mind, he had already arrived behind the Duke of Angmar, and gently put the food aside. He was about to say something when he saw the old man in front of the window slowly turn his head, Blinking his eyes a few times, he whispered, "Alpha, hasn't Sally come back yet?"
He asked about Sally's situation first, and it happened several times in a row. Alpha naturally understood what it meant—he adjusted his mood, and said in a low voice: "Miss is still in the monastery, I have sent someone to inform you With the news that her condition has improved, I believe she will be back soon."
"Oh? That's right... this is good, this is good."
Consciousness has not been fully recovered, but I just remembered some things, and I can't figure it out vaguely. The Duke of Angmar's state at this time was like being half asleep, and what he said was instinctive.
"The meal is ready, I'll help—"
Before he could finish speaking, Alpha stared dumbfounded at the scrawny Duke of Angmar in front of him, because he was supporting his body and slowly stood up.
Although he was already shocked in his heart, Alpha still bite the bullet and came to Angmar with a few steps, helped him to the table and sat down, and then continued to look at the man who couldn't eat before with a dumbfounded expression. The old man, who can't even use a fork, ate all the food in front of him in one go!
The soup containing the potion was picked up by Angmar and swallowed down. The old man wiped his mouth, as if he was so refreshing when he was young. Alpha even wondered if he had made a mistake in the potion, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was impossible, because he didn't have an antidote for this potion at all!
what happened
In the past few days, Angmar's complexion has improved a lot, and even the skeleton-like body has gradually regained some vitality. Alpha feels that his efforts for five years, or even ten years, are gradually coming to naught—and the failure The result was definitely something he couldn't bear.
what to do what to do what to do...
He was restless, but no sweat leaked from his forehead. He frowned slightly, and packed the tableware slowly. He glanced at the old duke, and found that he was breathing slowly with his eyes closed. I don't know how many times stronger the previous "Qi Ruo Gossamer" is.
Otherwise, should we report to Lord Ansardin
Thinking this way, Alpha helped the Duke to sit on the bed and then turned to leave. But after leaving the room, he suddenly remembered one thing—the old Duke seems to go to the toilet more times these days... than before
The servants are usually responsible for these things, so he didn't dare to confirm for a while. After having such thoughts in his heart, he immediately walked towards the servant's room downstairs, ready to confirm such facts as soon as possible.
If it was true, it would prove that the duke was really taking antidotes or something out of his sight.
He strode forward and closed the door behind him casually, but he didn't realize that outside the window beside him, there was a pair of hands gently grabbing the edge of the eaves...
...
When turning over and climbing into the balcony of the Duke's Mansion, Rody's movements seemed to be very familiar.
Things like climbing stairs and turning windows were not uncommon in games before. Because of the characteristics of the ranger profession in the past, the first thing Rody has to do every time he fights is to find commanding heights and bunkers to confirm his maximum lethality—so don’t talk about climbing this kind of three-story mansion, even climbing a few tens of meters high " Rosary Cross" Monastery Cathedral, that is also something that can be done in minutes.
After lightly jumping onto the balcony, he stretched out his hand and tugged at the scimitar on his back. Today's operation is sneaking in, so he didn't carry the short bow that got in the way when he climbed the stairs. He just carried a scimitar and a dagger as emergency weapons... After all, this is the Duke's Mansion, which is heavily guarded and has strong guards. It seemed easy to come in, but in fact, one wrong step would be the result of being beaten to death. If it weren't for the necklace that can be used to sneak, Rody would not choose this troublesome and clumsy way.
He also understood that it was impossible for him to fight anyone in the Duke's mansion. After all, once the mansion's security was alarmed, his current strength would not be able to kill him at all, and no matter how many weapons he brought, it would be useless.
Stepping into the bedroom from the balcony, the candles in the room were shaking due to the breeze blowing from the window. Through the light, Roddy saw the old duke lying on the bed. redundant response.
"It's the last bottle, you can get up after drinking it."
Rody wasn't worried that someone would come in and find him at this time, because he observed for a long time before entering for the first time. Once the old duke fell asleep, no one would come in to disturb him until dawn. So at this time, he took out the antidote in a leisurely manner, walked up to the Duke of Angmar, bent down, reached out and patted the other person's face—"Hey, hey, wake up, it's time to take the medicine."
The "slap" sound of the hands being slapped on the face was very clear. If there were any servants from the Duke's Mansion present, they would probably be frightened by Roddy's behavior. But Luo Di, who was holding the antidote in his hand, understood that the other party would not have much consciousness at this time. Seeing the other party opened his eyes in a daze, he directly reached out and helped the old man sit on the bed, uncorking the bottle while talking to himself...
"It's the last bottle today, try to wake up early."
"I really don't understand how you raised your son and taught such a traitor."
"Is your power network very large? The undead come up and find you to use this potion..."
"I can't figure it out. If this potion is just to kill you, just find any reason to stab you to death. Is it necessary to toss for so many years?"
Holding the potion in his hand and feeding it to Angmar one by one, Rody actually had a lot of doubts in his heart—the function of the "soul extraction potion" in his memory seemed to be to make people die silently, but he looked carefully. Think this costly project is too big, and it has been done for several years just to starve people to death silently? Any poison is more refreshing than this thing.
Maybe the undead have other intentions
There were many speculations in his mind, but none of them seemed reliable. Rody looked down at the old duke—the latter looked at him with a confused look, but obediently drank all the potions. .
"Seeing that you have regained your health like this, there should be no problem. Drink less alcohol, drink more water, eat more vegetables, pay attention to your diet, and don't forget to exercise." Luo Di reached out and took out the letter he wrote, in front of the Duke. He raised his hand and stuffed it under the other person's pillow, "Find out the guy who poisoned you and kill him when you have time, so I won't be Lei Feng anymore—oh, actually I'm not Lei Feng either, don't forget it's me You can help if you can, think carefully about your daughter and son, I am still optimistic about Sally, and I believe you are the same."
Reaching out to pat the Duke on the shoulder, Roddy smiled. This kind of nonsense is just a habit developed to relieve loneliness and boredom, and he didn't expect the other party to understand.
Raising his hand to press the other party on the bed to let him continue to sleep, Rody turned and walked towards the balcony to leave... But at this moment, there were suddenly hurried footsteps outside the bedroom—
This was something Rody didn't expect, because the footsteps outside sounded like they were about to smash the door and rush in. However, he didn't appear to be panicked—when he came here, Rody had already made several preparations in his mind for a similar situation, so he reacted instantly after being stunned for half a second.
The dagger appeared in his hand, and with a nimble flick of his wrist, the cold light shot straight at the only candle in the room. At the same time, Rody whispered: "Ol'kah!"
At the same time when the stealth technique took effect, the flying dagger had already chopped off the burning candle stub on the candlestick with a "poof" - the whole bedroom was plunged into darkness, and just as the dagger was nailed into the wall with a "duh", , The bedroom door was suddenly pushed open!
"who is it!"
In the darkness, the voice of Shen Sheng questioning was unusually angry. And Rody held his breath and leaned back, already holding the scimitar he was carrying in his hand, and through the dim light of the fireplace in the living room outside the door, he could see that it was not someone else who was standing in front of him in a panic, It was Alpha in butler robes.
He also knew the information about this person when he investigated the Duke's Mansion before, but after the service of "Cracked Earth" in his memory, there was no such person in the Duke's Mansion of Hollier City, so Rody didn't treat him right now. I understand, only rushing in so hastily when the other party is worried about the Duke's safety - after all, there are some clues to what I have done, and it is not difficult for the old housekeeper who has always been by the Duke's side to find out.
Thinking of this in his heart, Rody didn't have any intention of killing people, but slowly backed away, trying to stay as far away from the butler as possible to reduce the chance of being detected, but before he took a few steps, the butler said something The nagging words made him frown...
"Who the hell...Damn it! Damn it!"
"Someone must have given you the antidote! It must be so!"
"Lord Ansardin won't forgive me...Damn..."
The butler was pacing back and forth in the dark. Through the dim light, Rody saw a long sword in his hand—it seemed to be the decorative sword hanging on the wall, and he walked several times. When he came to Duke Angmar's bed, he raised his sword and hesitated whether to stab it!
This scene made Rody raise his eyebrows. Maybe he doesn't understand anything else, but the "Ansadin" the butler is talking about seems... a little familiar
