Chapter 15 of Volume 8: The Pharmacist

  Jenny and Gene, after another attempt on their lives, truly realized that this time the journey to Chell County would be fraught with danger. At any moment, there was a risk of being killed. Unconsciously, they both relied on Lin Lei.

  "Lei Ge, what should we do from now on?" Zhan Ni asked Lin Lei with some concern.

  At this moment, whether it was Zhan Ni or Ji En, they both felt that the future seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog. They couldn't see the road ahead and didn't know what would happen if they continued on.

  Looking at this innocent brother and sister, Lin Lei comforted them: "Don't worry, as the deputy lord of a county city, I still have confidence in dealing with him."

  Now Lin Lei has reached the eighth rank, and after transforming into a dragon, he will be at the ninth rank peak. The black-striped cloud leopard 'Hei Lu' is also a ninth-rank peak demon beast, and Beibei's strength is no less than Hei Lu and Lin Lei.

  These two demon beasts combined, as long as no strong sacred domain expert appeared, even if there were more people and horses, they would probably not be able to intercept them.

  Zhan Ni and Ji Ke couldn't help but feel a little admiration for Lin Lei in their hearts.

  They, the sister and brother, still can't gauge Lin Lei's true strength even now. In their eyes, Lin Lei is just a mysterious strong person. Meanwhile, Lambert, who was watching from the side, also felt relieved in his heart. As long as Jennie and Keene can live safely and quietly, this old servant would be willing to die for them. A strong person like Lin Lei not minding helping the rural sister and brother is enough to make Lambert feel grateful from the bottom of his heart.

  "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

  There was a knock at the gate outside the courtyard.

  "I'll go and open it," said Lambert with a chuckle. "Perhaps the servant has come with breakfast."

  "We're ready for breakfast." Lin Lei smiled, leading Zhan Ni and Ji En towards the living room, while Nalanbert opened the courtyard door at this moment, and two servants pushing a food cart walked in.

  "Have all these sent to the living room." Lambert instructed with a smile.

  "Yes, sir." The two waiters, both with humble attitudes, pushed the carts forward. However, as they moved along, they exchanged a glance, and a resolute glint flashed between them.

  This time, they came to assassinate Keen; whether they succeeded or not, they were undoubtedly doomed.

  They had already known about Lin Lei's existence beforehand, and whether it was Lin Lei or his black panther, they were enough to easily kill them.

  In the living room, Lin Lei sat in the main seat, with Jian and Zhen Ni sitting on either side. Two waiters with humble smiles pushed a dinner cart into the living room.

  "Sir, madam, this is a whole roasted lamb?" The waiter lifted the iron lid.

  "Put it over there on the ground." Lin Lei pointed to the stone floor beside him, while Heiruo, the black-striped clouded leopard, was lying on the ground with its head raised, staring at the whole roasted sheep.

  Even a whole roasted sheep would be just breakfast for He Ru.

  "Yes, sir." The waiter very respectfully held the special large tray and placed the roasted whole sheep directly on the floor. Beibei jumped over and with a swipe of its sharp claws, it grabbed one of the roasted sheep's legs.

  Hei Lu glared at Bei Bei and then walked over, starting to devour it with big mouthfuls.

  "Sir, please." The waiter placed a plate in front of Lin Lei and then another one in front of Keen.

  Another waiter is also carrying dishes and putting them on the table at this moment.

  At this moment, the two waiters were leaning against Keen's side, while Keen was not at all vigilant and excitedly picked up his knife and fork to start enjoying his meal.

  Two waiters exchanged a glance, and almost simultaneously reached for Kein with their hands shaped like sharp claws, stabbing at Kein's chest, head, throat and other vital areas.

  Four hands attack at the same time!

  Generally, fifth- and sixth-level warriors can easily shatter boulders with a single palm strike. Even fourth-level warriors can directly pierce through thick wooden planks.

  Keene, an ordinary boy with very weak abilities, probably can't withstand any attack, whether it's a blow to the head or a blow to the throat.

  Too close.

  Two waiters were too close to Keen, the striking distance was too short. At such a short distance, even an eighth-level warrior would be dead before he could react.

  Lin Lei let out a cold snort.

  A strange purple light flashed and disappeared, followed by the sound of ear-piercing screams. The four hands of the two servants fell to the ground, severed.

  "Ah." Zanni was startled and jumped up directly.

  "Master." Beside him, Lambert finally reacted, furiously kicking the two waiters hard against the wall, shaking it violently.

  Those two servants were whispering softly, just looking at each other, with a hint of despair in their eyes.

  "You, how is this possible?" One of the servants looked at Lin Lei in disbelief.

  At that time, the two of them were only half a meter away from Keen. Although they were only fourth-level warriors, at a distance of half a meter, it was estimated that even blinking would not be necessary, and they could have killed Keen.

  This moment is when even the strong can't react in time.

  Kerlin Lei not only reacted, but also cut off all four of their hands.

  "It's strange that I've only just realized," Lin Lei gazed calmly at the two of them, "an ordinary servant, how can your hands be cultivated to such an extent?"

  The two of them looked at their own palms.

  This time, the red-haired man led a team of elite archers, and as an elite archer, years of hard training had left clear calluses on his hands.

  The two waiters exchanged a glance, full of despair.

  And their severed wrists were bleeding profusely, if this continued for a while, they would definitely die from excessive blood loss. But they knew... mission failure meant Lin Lei would let them off, but their captain and Mrs. Weid wouldn't.

  "Never mind them, let's set off right away." Lin Lei said as he stood up.

  Zhan Ni, Ji Ke has also experienced two assassinations, this third time is not as fragile as the previous two. Ji Ke even whispered: "Lei Ge, what about breakfast? Are we taking it away and eating on the road?"

  No.

  Lin Lei shook his head and said, "From now on, we have to be careful with what we eat. I suspect that there's poison in this."

  "Poisoned?" Keen looked at the delicious food in the plate, but was startled.

  "Psst~~~" Beside him, BeiBei called out to Lin Lei at this time, and Lin Lei looked over at BeiBei, unable to help but laugh.

  "Yes, you're not afraid of poison, let's go." Lin Lei said helplessly.

  In fact, demons and humans have very different physiological structures. Many demons are inherently toxic, and the poisons that humans fear may not necessarily be feared by them. The more powerful a demon is, the stronger its natural resistance to poison will be. Moreover, demons generally live in primitive forests and other places, where they come into contact with highly toxic substances from an early age. As a result, their ability to resist poison naturally becomes stronger with each generation.

  Lin Lei and his group set off early in the morning, leaving the hotel directly. The red-haired man watched Lin Lei's group leave from afar, his face looking even more unpleasant than before.

  "Thunder?" The red-haired man muttered, "Where did such a master come from, and why are they mixed up with these two country bumpkins?"

  The red-haired man was very indignant in his heart.

  This time, the assassination of Keen and Jennie was originally a very easy task. Lambert, this old servant, his strength is not even worth mentioning. But what was originally an easy task suddenly became tricky with the emergence of a mysterious mastermind.

  "There's no way out, I can only report it to the lady." The red-haired man knew Lin Lei's ferocity and didn't dare to take risks.

  The Aubrey Empire, as the first military power on the Yulan Continent, has a very perfect messaging system, which is mainly composed of a team of five-level magical beasts 'Qingfeng Diao'.

  The entire O'Brien Empire, in every county town, there are several Qingfeng Eagles, with special people controlling these Qingfeng Eagles. The Qingfeng Eagles also have extremely high intelligence, they know the way, under the master's command, can completely send letters to the place that needs to be sent.

  Only the Qingfeng carving can transmit messages, and only the imperial officials have the qualifications to use it. Ordinary civilians and even nobles do not have the qualifications to use it. Of course... there is also an independent transmission system in the military.

  The red-haired man brought a letter from the lord of Chell Castle, so Blackstone Castle sent a green wind eagle to Chell Castle.

  The speed of flying in a straight line in the air is far beyond that of running on the ground. Not long after Lin Lei and his group left Heishi City, Qingfeng Bird arrived at Chier County City.

  Akko City, this is a relatively large city.

  In the northwest province, it is also ranked in the top ten. At this moment, inside the castle owned by the city lord, the atmosphere was very depressing and gloomy.

  The mistress of this castle is Lady Wied! A noblewoman notorious for her coldness and haughtiness.

  "Sister, sister."

  Two middle-aged men rushed into the castle's backyard, where the elegant and noble Lady Wade was being attended by her maid, basking in the sunshine.

  "What's wrong, my two brothers?" Mrs. Weide looked up at the two middle-aged men.

  "Sister, this is a message from the transmission station. This time's mission has failed." said one of the two men, who was slightly fatter than the other.

  "Failure? How useless is Kord?" Mrs. Weide took over the letter, opened it and frowned, "A mysterious strong man with a black leopard?"

  According to the letter from the red-haired man 'Kode', the black leopard was at least an eighth-level magical beast, and the mysterious man was naturally at least an eighth-level strongman, or even a ninth-level strongman.

  Mrs. Vidal felt the letter weighed heavily in her hand.

  "What shall we do?" asked Mrs. Wied's elder brother, the fatter of the two men, while her second brother looked at her with equal expectation.

  Mrs. Weide frowned and thought for a moment.

  "Both of you brothers, go and invite Master Horemer." said Mrs. Weide calmly.

  "What's with Holm, that old monster?" her second brother exclaimed at once.

  Mrs. Weide said coldly, "According to Kode's investigation, that mysterious man called 'Lei' is at least an eighth-level strongman, and may even be a ninth-level strongman. I don't have the strength to kill a ninth-level strongman head-on, it's better to let Holm pharmacist do it. After all, Holm pharmacist has a precedent for killing a ninth-level strongman."

  "But Holmes, however..." Mrs. Hudson's brother also hesitated a little.

  "Hmph, with the two of you going on like this, you'll never amount to anything. Even if I killed Keene, with you two being like this, do you still think you can become the lord of the city?" Lady Wiede coldly snorted.

  "Alright, sister, let's go see Master Herbalist Holm!" The two brothers of Lady Wied were defeated.

  The title of Holm Pharmacist is a self-proclaimed one by Holm himself.

  Some people think Holm is a killer, but Holm thinks he's a pharmacist.

  Indeed, Holm's lifesaving skills are very high. Holm is already over 300 years old this year, and it is almost impossible for a sixth-level warrior to live for more than 300 years. But Holm did it, and it seems that Holm's complexion is still very good. It was because Holm had been taking some strange medicinal herbs all the time, which made his body as strong as a young man even at the age of over 300.

  "Ah, Mrs. Wheat is indeed very generous, this business can be done, can be done..." Holm stroked his somewhat graying beard and smiled complacently to himself.

  Mrs. Wied's two brothers were still a bit constrained in front of Holm.

  "Holmes, you'd better set off early," urged Mrs. Hudson's brother-in-law, "our people will take you to see your target this time."

  "Haha, you guys pay half of the deposit first, I'll set off immediately." Holm said with a haha laugh.

  "Down payment?" The two brothers stared at each other.

  In the city of Chel, they had never been so oppressed before. However, having heard about Holm's deeds, the two brothers did not dare to provoke this old man who called himself a 'pharmacist'. Once this old man got angry, no one knew how many people would die.
