Chapter 35: The Devilish Pharmacist Vier (Seeking Member Points and Votes)
The Marquis of Lanling returned to his mansion at dawn with a soft smile on his face, apparently in a good mood.
As soon as he entered the Hou Mansion, the steward cried and told him that the two giant elephants went mad last night, broke through the iron cage and killed more than a dozen guards and servants.
The Marquis of Lanling's heart was racing as he rushed into his own courtyard.
Dark Souls is gone!
The Lanling Marquis had a bad premonition in his heart, causing his whole body to tremble slightly. When he arrived at the door of his bedroom, he was actually somewhat afraid to reach out and push it open.
Until he had thought it over several times in his mind, he gritted his teeth and pushed open the door.
The scene before his eyes made Langling Hou furious and shocked, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
All he saw was that the secret compartment behind the bookshelf was wide open, and more than a dozen puppets were covered in blood. But all of this was nothing compared to what made him even more terrified - a hole dug out on the floor.
"Damn it!" The Marquis of Lanling jumped down. When he reached the underground passage from this pit, his last bit of luck was completely shattered.
The Marquis of Lanling almost stumbled down to the bottom of the black crystal chamber, and when he saw the gruesome corpse on the ground, he instantly sat down.
"Master is done, I'm also done, who exactly is it? Who can kill Master..." Lanling Hou muttered to himself, he didn't understand, what kind of strong person broke in and directly grabbed out the heart and brain of Wutian Zun. To know that Wutian Zun was once a Dark Sacred Magician, although severely damaged in the battle with Nanwuyue, his boundary fell to Earth Rank Magician, but it's not so easy to deal with.
The Marquis of Lanling was not an ordinary person after all. He slowly drove away the terror in his heart and began to think calmly.
Colossal Sun, North of Qi, Mysterious and Powerful...
He linked the three together, and the sudden madness of the giant sun was probably done by Qi Bei. However, with Qi Bei's strength, it is absolutely impossible to kill Wu Tianzun, rescue Nan Wuyan, and he cannot make Hei Anshen disappear silently.
Moreover, if it were a powerful being from the Dreamy Sea, they would never let this deceitful and treacherous person who betrayed his master go unpunished.
So, there is only one possibility that makes sense, which is that the mysterious strong person may also be here for what the Heavenly Venerate wants to get. Moreover, it's possible that this strong person is also from the Dark Camp, if not a master of dark magic, they can only forcibly break through the Black Soul Seal, and must leave marks, but the Black Soul Seal disappeared so thoroughly, it can only be solved rather than destroyed.
Having understood this point, the Marquis of Lanling felt much lighter in his heart. He went up and threw those puppets with severed lower bodies into the underground passage, then sealed the tunnel.
The steward of the Hou Mansion stood nervously in front of the Marquis of Lanling, not knowing what kind of punishment this eccentric and ruthless marquis would inflict on him. After all, those two giant elephants that went mad last night had killed more than a dozen people.
"What happened last night, I order everyone in the manor to not leak a single word out, otherwise, I will chop him into pieces and feed them to dogs." Lanling Hou said in a low voice.
"Yes... Young Master Hou, those two giant sun elephants..." The Hou estate's steward hastily nodded and then continued.
The Marquis of Lanling's eyes turned even colder upon hearing the giant sun elephant, his mouth twitching slightly as he said in a low tone: "Don't bother with this, finish handling the matters in the manor and then go to the Magic Tower to find Elder Vier. Tell him that I have urgent business with him."
"Yes, Master Hou." The steward didn't dare ask more and immediately withdrew.
The Magic Tower is the headquarters of the Golden Leaf Empire's Magician Guild, and Elder Vier is a senior fire system magician who is also an alchemist.
If it's said that among ten thousand ordinary people, there won't be a single magician, then among ten thousand magicians, there also won't necessarily be a single alchemist.
Even the lowest grade of magical potions cost tens of thousands of gold coins, and are hard to come by due to the huge demand, but alchemists are too scarce.
A bottle of primary magic potion that can instantly increase a novice magician's magic power by 30%, one-time use, costs 50,000 gold coins.
A primary fighting spirit pill that can instantly increase a novice warrior's fighting spirit energy by 30%, one-time use, costs 20,000 gold coins.
If it's a mid-grade magic potion or a mid-grade battle pill, it wouldn't be surprising if the price increased by more than tenfold.
Therefore, Elder Wiel is only a senior magician, but because he can refine intermediate magic medicine, he is one of the top ten elders of the Magic Tower, with great power and extensive connections, even the Emperor Hamos treats him with courtesy.
It's just that it was rumored that Elder Wei had always looked down on Langling Hou, who liked men, but for some reason, when Langling Hou got into trouble, he went to find him.
An hour later, Elder Wei arrived at the Lanling Marquis's manor.
Villager Elder was an old man with a long, flowing beard, wearing a cloak like flames, holding a magnificent fire-red staff, and the hem of his robe swayed as if a flame was burning fiercely, with a noble air that came from within.
The Marquis of Lanling personally came out to greet him, and the two men entered the study in the marquis's mansion.
"Is he dead?" Elder Vier immediately turned around and stared at Marquis Lanling as soon as he entered the study.
"Not bad." The Marquis of Lanling nodded.
"Hahaha, that evil old man is finally dead, it's really refreshing, I've had enough of his control." Elder Vill laughed loudly, with a manic look on his face, the usual well-maintained expression nowhere to be seen.
The Marquis of Lanling flirtatiously flicked his hair, but didn't say a word, just staring at Elder Vier to vent.
After a long while, the wizard Verl's laughter stopped and he burst into tears, his beard covered with snot and tears, crying like a child.
The Marquis of Lanling let out a light sigh, stretched out his hand and placed it on the shoulder of the wizard Verl, opening his mouth to say: "You've thought this through, right? Even if that old man dies, we have already fallen into darkness and can't turn back. The Netherworldly Seal on our bodies will never be erased, even in death."
Weir Longevity disliked using his magic wand to pry open the hand of Lanling Marquis, wiped a handful of snot and tears, but his emotions had returned to normal. He said coldly: "What did you call me here for?"
"We're all on the same boat now, and it's capsized. You, the Tower of Magic elder, will also be humiliated. I'll tell you the truth, last night a strong person broke in and killed that old man. I suspect that strong person is also from the Dark Camp." Lanling Hou said calmly, his threatening tone implicit.
Wei's neck muscles twitched, and after a long while, he coldly snorted: "What do you want me to do?"
"It's just a small matter for you, go and see what medicine was applied to those two giant sun elephants?" Lanling Hou said, the smile of that little brat from Qibei floating in front of his eyes again. He must figure out whether this matter is related to the Nuo De family or not.
Wei carefully examined the two giant sun elephants that were trapped and unable to move, furrowed his brow, and softly said to Lanling Hou: "It's a stimulating demon drug with dark energy."
The Marquis of Lanling let out a long sigh of relief, it seemed that he had nothing to do with the Norder family after all, but rather as he had expected, it was done by a strong player from the dark camp. Perhaps in the eyes of such a strong player, he was just a small ant, not worth the effort to deal with. So, he didn't have to flee for his life anymore, and could continue being the Marquis of Lanling and a registered disciple of the Dream Sea, his future still looked bright.
