Leader Quinn and several senior officials inquired to no avail. After leaving, a doctor in a white coat walked in expressionlessly.
He has a goatee and a bacon-like complexion, and he looks gloomy.
Ren recognized this guy.
This old vulture is the chief doctor of the "Weasel Phantom Thieves", Qiz Pixis.
Although this guy is only a second-level awakened "advanced person", his combat effectiveness is very average. But in the Phantom Thieves, his status is extremely high, even the leader Quinn is very polite when meeting him.
Because, he also has a very noble status, a two-star potion master certified by the Potion Masters Guild!
Almost all the extraordinary advanced potions of the entire Phantom Thieves were made by him.
Of course, there is also the chronic poison [Zombie Potion] that controls newcomers, which is his unique formula.
If Ren wants to get the antidote, he must get ideas from this old guy.
... .
Pixis walked into the medical room, his eyes fell on Ren, and he said calmly: "You're awake..."
Renn quickly stood up, made the respectful gesture as a newcomer, bowed and thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Pisis, you are the only one who can bring me back from the edge of hell."
"Ah... "
Pixis snorted noncommittally, and a flash of light suddenly flashed across his turbid eyes, looking as aggressive as a poisonous snake.
He stared at Ren and then said meaningfully: "There is no one else here now. Can you tell me what happened in the sewer at that time?"
It was a very ordinary question, but the tone sounded eerie and gave people a creepy feeling.
As if if you tell a lie, you will be swallowed by a poisonous snake.
"ah?"
Ren's face looked surprised, but he shouted in his heart: Sure enough, it's here.
There was an unnatural look on his face, and he said, "I told the leader just now that I was unconscious at the time and I don't remember anything..."
"Oh? Really..."
Pixis sneered, with a weird smile on his face that said you can't fool me with your little tricks.
After a pause, a touch of sarcasm escaped from the corner of his mouth, and he said: "They sent you here before, and I took a sample of your blood. But the strange thing is... In addition to analyzing the unknown deadly toxin, there are also ingredients of the antidote. If I guessed correctly, you survived only because you were injected with the decoding agent in time..."
Upon hearing this, Ren's expression suddenly froze.
In the eyes of others, this is just a pretense of calmness.
Pixis keenly caught the strange expression on Ren's face, his eyes lit up, and he felt that he had guessed correctly.
Then he asked in a threatening and gloomy tone: "So, can you explain who injected you with the interpretation medicine?"
"Ah this..."
At this sudden question, Ren's eyes trembled for a moment, showing the panic of a normal person after his secret was discovered.
But before he fell into coma, he had already expected that he had left a "flaw" that could not be eliminated.
After the antidote is injected, it will remain in the body for several days.
This "flaw" can be hidden from others, but it can never be hidden from this Pixis who is proficient in pharmacy!
The previous inquiries by Quinn's senior officials did not mention this situation, which means that Pixis did not report this information to them.
The purpose is obvious... This greedy old guy really wants to monopolize Baron Morin's treasure!
But this is also... just what he wants.
Because, this is also the situation that Renn most wants to see!
When leader Quinn asked questions before, he found that those guys didn't mention the "interpretation potion". Renn guessed that he had made the right bet.
This guy, whom the elders in the regiment privately called "Arrogant Pisis", indeed made a greedy choice.
Of course, anyone who knew how much wealth Baron Morin left behind would probably want to take it all for themselves!
And Raymond also knew very well that although this guy was worshiped by the Phantom Thieves, he, a noble potion master, had never looked down on these dirty thieves and disdained their company.
As long as this Pixis has selfish motives, Renn can use his "chips" in exchange for more benefits, antidote... and freedom!
Of course, even if Pugh had no selfish motives and informed the leader of the situation, Renne would have already thought of a way to respond.
... .
Now, Renne is completely in control of the matter.
After all, no one would think that those disappeared things were hiding in him at this moment.
However, he also knew very well that when dealing with a cunning guy like Pisis, his value would be gone if he handed over his chips at once!
Since this old guy plans to swallow the treasure for himself, how can he stay alive after getting what he wants
"that... "
After Ren pretended to struggle for a moment, he seemed to have figured out something and no longer concealed anything, and asked directly: "Mr. Pisis, if I say... what can you give me?"
"Oh... you're not going to quibble?"
Hearing this, Pixis's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
This guy really knows about those lost treasures!
What could it be that would make even a great thief like Quinn extremely nervous
The old guy was overjoyed, but his face was extremely cold, and he said coldly: "Haha... you should know the rules of the group. If Quinn finds out that you concealed it or not, nine lives will not be enough to kill you." ..”
"snort!"
Hearing this, Ren also looked like a broken pot. He looked sideways and said: "I can't awaken the extraordinary, and there is no antidote. Anyway, I will either die in training or die in the mission... So what? Is there a difference?"
How many years can you live in the life of a thief who licks blood from the edge of a knife
A newcomer who is "at the tail end of the crane" really has a low chance of surviving.
This reaction is completely normal.
"Kid, you are quite clever."
Hearing this, Pixis not only did not feel surprised, but there was an expected look in his eyes.
Greed is human nature.
Of course, he originally had no intention of using Quinn to frighten this newcomer, who seemed to him to be a little clever.
He didn't hesitate and asked directly: "So, what do you want from me?"
Ren said directly: "I want the antidote to [Zombie Potion]!"
"That's it?"
Hearing this, Pisis raised his eyebrows, as expected.
But after a moment of pause, he listened to Ren and said again: "And... I hope Mr. Pisis will accept me as an official disciple!"
"Yo?"
When Pixis heard this, an imperceptible glint flashed across his eyes, and he sighed with a half-smile: "You are quite smart, kid."
Under normal circumstances, this is the choice that maximizes profits.
Becoming his disciple of Pixis transformed him into a doctor or a potion master apprentice. Then Lee's status in the Phantom Thieves will skyrocket. He will no longer have to participate in death training and dangerous missions, and his life safety will naturally be guaranteed.
After all, in this cruel world, both potion masters and doctors have extremely high status.
It is not easy for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy to have such a scheming mind.
Moreover, only by becoming his disciple and handing over the secret, might he not have to die.
If it were normal, there would be such a clever handyman apprentice who could be controlled by some means, which would be fine.
But now this "Weasel Phantom Thieves" is about to be destroyed.
He has no intention of accepting any disciples.
It was a bad check anyway, so Pixis, who had already had murderous intentions, naturally responded: "Yes! I can give you the antidote, and I will also tell Quinn that I will accept you as a disciple."
Hearing this, Ren pretended to be flattered and said, "Mr. Pisis, have you really agreed to accept me as your disciple?"
"Um."
Having said this, the old guy looked at Ren with a "kind" expression and asked, "So... can you tell me now what happened in the sewers of Morin Manor?"
Hearing this, Renn also smiled knowingly and started his performance: "I was in the sewer at that time..."
