In the outer courtyard of the palace, in Ardas' laboratory, the familiar screams rang out early in the morning.
Even those brave and strong palace guards in the distance couldn't help but show fear when they heard this cry. In their opinion, it is better to bleed or even die on the battlefield than this terrible torture of survival or death .
It is still the same bottle and can as it was a few days ago, but the roles of feeding medicine and testing medicine have been reversed.
"Sli, how does this medicine feel?" Chen Rui looked at Sli who was lying on the ground panting with interest.
Sli said weakly: "Master, the potion of this Soul-Splitting Grass is too strong, Sli feels like his head has split open, and he is about to die..."
"No, I read it wrong just now. This is actually the potion of vertigo grass," Chen Rui showed doubts. The effect of splitting the soul? No! It’s best to cut open the brain to see.”
The little villain, who seemed precarious just now, suddenly turned over and sat up, dragged his clothes and begged: "Great master, your humble servant just feels a little dizzy, and there is absolutely no pain at all. This stun potion is very, very effective. ! Please don't cut Slee's head open!"
As soon as the words were finished, the little devil saw Chen Rui shaking the bottle in front of his eyes. It seemed to read "Number 81, Awakening Potion". It turned out that this was a bottle of buff potion for dizziness and sleep!
Sli almost burst into tears: It is said that despicable and cunning are synonymous with little lemurs, why is this human being even more cunning than little lemurs!
"Almighty master, your wisdom is comparable to the moon sky in the demon world! Your humblest servant should not be blinded by fear. Next time, even if the master asks Sli to go to Lanbo Lake, I will give that poisonous dragon to you!" Bring it back, master!" The little ghoul immediately began to sing his best praises, his loyal and humble appearance, how could he have the slightest demeanor of "Master Sli" back then
Just this virtue, and bring back the poisonous dragon? Chen Rui smiled and said, "If it wasn't for the master-servant contract a few days ago, I'm afraid Lord Sly is still waiting to drink my blood and eat my flesh?"
As soon as I mentioned a few days ago, the little ghoul couldn't help but feel sad. That was the beginning of Sir Sly's nightmare—Mr. Gauss, whom the eldest princess trusted most, brought this human to Sly. Mr. Gauss is a proficient With the help of the magic servant, Lord Sly was forced to sign a master-servant contract with this human being. If Sli dared to defy Chen Rui, he would be backlashed by a strong contract or even die.
Up to now, the little villain has no choice but to accept his fate, and was about to continue flattering the new master, Chen Rui said: "Sli, I know you are not convinced, but that day I told the little princess and the master the truth of the inheritance." You were also present when the secret was revealed. This time when the eldest princess summoned me, she has issued a seal order. Before I become a master, I cannot reveal this secret to anyone. Originally, you were going to be silenced, and I saved you."
Sli was startled, and then thought of the rumors about the ruthlessness of the eldest princess, and immediately shuddered. It seemed that what the new owner said was true: But so what if his life was saved by this human being? The rule of the demon world is that the strong are respected, and the little demons have always been known for bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Now Lord Sly actually serves as a servant of a human being who is weaker than himself!
This is probably the first record-breaking case in the circle of little lemurs, and even in the history of the entire demon world!
Chen Rui seemed to have seen through Sli's mind, and said with a smile: "Sli, your life is in my hands now, if I want to avenge your previous evil deeds, you have already been tortured to death now, but I I don't want to do this. The eldest princess promised me that after I reach the level of a master in the future, I will be given the same honor and courtesy as Master Aldas. What I need now is not an experiment, nor a clown who can only praise , but a true and faithful follower."
Sli's mind began to spin rapidly. This human being has indeed been valued by the eldest princess and Master Ardas, and his future is limitless. If one can really become a follower of a master, it is not only a disgrace, but a supreme honor.
Sli's mood became a little excited for a while. The little ghoul is a low-level demon who has always been at the bottom of the demon world. It is weak and usually oppressed. Originally in the laboratory, Sli was just a handyman, not even a servant, but now there is a godsend opportunity in front of him, how can he miss it
"Master, what do you want Sli to do?" The little devil noticed that the master had a general interest in the praise of praise, so he cleverly simplified the language and asked respectfully.
Chen Rui is quite satisfied with Sli's performance. The set of coercion and lure has been learned and sold by the eldest princess Xia, so he doesn't have to worry about the little villain not giving in.
"Don't worry, I won't use you to test medicine anymore, but I want you to learn some knowledge about medicinal herbs, and then follow my instructions to collect various medicinal materials and inquire about various news."
Sli's little eyes lit up immediately. Herb gathering was already a job only for apprentices, and the master had to learn the knowledge of herbs and listen to information by himself. It seemed that he really planned to cultivate as a follower. The little evil immediately lay down on the ground gratefully, habitually said a lot of words of loyalty and praise, and then remembered that the master didn't like this, so the long speech stopped abruptly, only showing a humble and respectful appearance, wishing to put his own All loyalty expressed in body language.
Chen Rui couldn't help being a little funny when he saw Sley's appearance. With the master-servant contract and the carrot and stick, the little ghoul should have completely succumbed. Although he got a chance to gain a foothold in Darkmoon City by relying on his wit, he is a human being after all, and there is still the last part of the progress of the super system, which may require more medicinal herbs for experimentation. Can save a lot of trouble.
"Okay, go and take a look at Master's Basics of Medicinal Herbs, and learn to recognize the easiest medicinal herbs first." Chen Rui handed the thick book to Sli.
Sli became excited, this is the book of Master Ardas! I heard that ordinary alchemy apprentices need to spend a lot of tuition fees to reach the level of learning knowledge, but the master just showed it to himself! This time, the little evil was very grateful from the bottom of his heart, took it respectfully, and withdrew.
Chen Rui didn't need that book anymore. After the fusion of soul travel and Arthur's consciousness, his memory was actually improved by N times, and his mind became extraordinarily clear. Coupled with the buff effect brought by the symbiotic contract, a short period of time In a few days, he has grasped the basics of herbal medicine by heart.
The characteristic of the super system startup progress is that the stronger the medicine, the faster the progress, but repeated medicine has little effect, even Pagliu's poison is no exception. The poison in the laboratory was almost all tested last time. Chen Rui wanted to find out the ingredients of those medicines, and then try to configure new medicines, so as to activate the super system as soon as possible. At present, he has not tested whether other methods can be used to speed up the progress, so he can only consider it in terms of pharmacy.
Sli walked in again and said, "Master, Lady Athena is here."
Athena walked into the laboratory, saw that Ardas was not there, and asked, "Where is the master?"
"Master studied diamond chess all night last night, and he is still sleeping."
The day before yesterday, with the help of Sli, Chen Rui made an independent diamond chess set and gave it to Aldas. As a result, Ardas immediately indulged in it as if he had found a treasure, and Chen Rui suspected that if this continued, the pharmacist would defect to the camp of making equipment.
Athena said casually: "So that's the case, has Alice come to you these two days?"
"Come on," Chen Rui said with a wry smile: "I sent her away with the independent diamond chess the day before yesterday. She wants new things all day long. If this continues, I will almost run out of brains. Do you want to continue listening today? Three Kingdoms?"
Athena's eyes lit up, and she nodded quickly. In the past few days, Chen Rui deliberately picked up some excerpts from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to tell her. Of course, due to the needs of the environment, the abilities of famous generals have been greatly deified. Second Master’s Qinglong Yanyue Knife has become a divine tool, beheading thousands of people at every turn; Zhang Sanye’s roar can make the waterfall flow backwards; Liu Bei has the water magic that tears thousands of miles away...
What Athena admires the most is the strong man with the force against the sky, she is obsessed with it, and runs to the laboratory every day, but these stories are only told to Athena, and Chen Rui also said that it is a little secret between the two of them. means.
"Wait, let's go to Lanbo Lake today," Athena suddenly thought of her reason for coming, and was reluctant to part with that nice story, "tell me on the way back, okay?"
Only then did Chen Rui remember that the past few days had been pleasant, and he almost forgot about the dragon language inscription, so he nodded quickly.
"I'm ready for the triangular rhinoceros, let's go now!"
Sli watched his master and Athena go away, and his surprise was like a stormy sea. How long has it been since the master came to the Demon Realm? This Master Athena actually took the initiative to date! You know, Lord Athena is not even close to General Allen...
With great admiration for his master, the little evil is full of unprecedented longing for the glorious future of that "master follower".
Outside the palace, the two sat on the triangular rhino that had already been prepared. This time, both ends were equipped with complete saddles. Obviously, the treatment of humans was completely different from last time. After leaving the city smoothly, the two rushed all the way to Lanbo Lake.
At the place agreed with Pagliu last time, Chen Rui suddenly saw the poisonous dragon in human form still concentrating on studying the simple independent diamond chess set. It is obvious that all the energy these days has been spent on this game.
Chen Rui asked Athena to wait in the distance, and walked forward by herself.
When Pagliu saw him, he asked fiercely, "Who are you?"
Chen Rui suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't afford to hurt—bad memory? This is also forgotten too much! It's clearly Alzheimer's!
