Silver Tower is a high tower of magicians with many facilities. There are easy-to-pass roads everywhere in the tower. It is just walking through a short corridor, and Curt and Liqi arrive from the magnificent conference room to the personal laboratory of the Academy Director full of wonderful magical objects.

Not long ago, Curt had visited this personal laboratory for François, but unexpectedly, in just a short period of time, the already abundant collection seemed to have increased a lot. Several of the chaotic piles seemed to be moved out of the Wiggins Monastery.

Compared to last time, this large laboratory has become much quieter today. Many people who used to work here don’t know where they are going. Perhaps because they feel that their owner’s body is a little uncomfortable, the rare birds and beasts are also silent, huddling quietly in the corner and dozing.

Not only those creatures, the floating lampstand floating beside the rotating stairs, replaced with some kind of dim and warm light source, and the light scattered from it became very soft. Under the illumination of these fluorite lamps with gentle colors, the spell products reflected a mysterious brilliance.

"This smell..." Liqi muttered in a voice that only Curt could hear, and a cloud seemed to be covered with a frown. "No, this kind of potion..."

The smell of a certain herb was scattered in the city with warm water vapor, and a little bitter and strange fragrance mixed together, making people's nose itchy. Liqi thrust her nose, as if she could tell the content of the herb, but after she looked at François's face, she finally chose to remain silent.

"Please find a place to sit down, you two. I'm so embarrassed. I'm a little uncomfortable today, so I really can't treat you well."

After entering the reception room, Dean François snapped his fingers gently. Several exquisitely crafted chairs were placed next to the table under the invisible hand. After the two sat down, a ceramic cup filled with steaming herbal tea appeared out of thin air at their hands.

Those "hands" that are difficult to capture with vision are actually serving Cruz François's invisible servants - more than 90% of the components are elemental creatures of air. Their lack of thinking ability and behavior must rely on the guidance of the caster, but they are indeed very convenient servants.

Strangely, as the caster, François did not let the invisible servant serve him this time. After glanced at the two people who were seated peacefully, he smiled bitterly and picked up a black metal pot on his right hand, poured some bubble-like green paste liquid into the teacup on the table.

It is different from the herbal smell that permeates the air. These sticky liquids have a different fragrance from the outside. Just smelling the smell will make people feel refreshed. Perhaps it is because of this too large contrast that makes people feel that these liquids are a little wrong.

"The smell that permeates the air is an antidote. It is tormented with the sea and bird's beak fruit and then mashed it with twice the amount of phero crystal crumbs." Liqi's whisper reached Curt through the soul connection, and her tone when she said these words seemed a bit strange. "Judged from the smell and appearance, the liquid he poured in the teacup should be a neutralizer that blends a large amount of keel grass with a small amount of crest flower."

These materials are valuable raw materials. Their common point is that they have excellent therapeutic effects and contain some ingredients that can cause damage to the human body. Some highly toxicants can sometimes become good medicines for the treatment of the body. However, this kind of "drug" that is prepared will still cause great harm to the human body. If it were not for the last resort, few people would choose this treatment method.

"To put it simply... Cruise François may have been poisoned, and this toxin is difficult to treat, so even he must use this kind of detoxification method. Of course, it is not ruled out that he has a way to avoid complications caused by the medicine - although I don't know what it is."

Liqi silently analyzed the potion that appeared in front of him, and also observed François's physical condition. It was no longer just abnormal, the magic structure of Dean François was filled with strange fluctuations. Even the air surrounding him had a slight anxiety.

Her analysis is based on spell theory, and there are some obvious abnormalities that only need to be observed by observing the physical performance. His face showed obvious fatigue. At first glance, he looked like a patient who had been sleeping for a week and had not recovered. Looking at his current appearance, it even makes people feel that he always maintains a gentle smile in the conference room, but it is just a mirage created by spells.

"Dean François, let me ask... Your physical condition is a little wrong. Could it be that you are poisoned?" Curt calmly gave Liqi a look, and then said in a tone of concern for François's body, "Although I know you are an excellent spell, and I understand that you know many treatments for toxins... But in the past few days, you have not been able to calm down and treat it?"

From that attack, François ran around the academy almost for a moment. In addition to the continuous hearings over the past few days, he also had to direct the academy's staff to clean up the ruins and preside over the arrangements for reconstruction work - let alone treatment, he didn't even have time to rest.

"I can't hide it from you..."

Sighing softly, François still maintained that leisurely expression, as if he didn't care about the damage to his body.

"Ryanster's husband is indeed an experienced mercenary. You can tell my physical condition just by looking at it. You are right. I was indeed poisoned, and it was a somewhat troublesome toxin. However, the types of toxins have been explained, and the antidotes that are used to prescribe the right medicine are already being prepared. Now only these neutralizers can suppress it... It will take about a week before my body can return to normal."

If he was attacked by this toxin during the period before the Eye of True Vision launched that attack, that is, after sending several subordinates to Curt, it would explain why he did not use his "power" to stop the attackers when the attack occurred.

"So that's it... no, I don't want to change the drinks."

Curt subconsciously tapped the corner of the table with his fingers, but he didn't expect that the tea cup at his hand would become a glass filled with carbonated drinks. Maybe the invisible servant who was accompanying him accidentally understood the meaning of knocking on the table as he wanted him to change the drinks he provided for another type.

With a little awkward glance at the translucent liquid filled with ice, Curt continued: "That is, the purpose of those people - the Eye of True View - also includes weakening your power. They are likely to want to take your life away when attacking the Academy."

After all, humans are just humans. Even "heroes" with far superior strength will age and die. After spending the most powerful period of their lives, aging and disease will become the first troubles that bother people. No matter how hard they struggle, death will come when their lifespan reaches its end.

Even a powerful warlock known as the "Twelve Directions Winds", Cruz François is a mere human being who has entered the old age. Even Superman is unable to escape from unexpected attacks, so he is extremely poisonous after being attacked.

And now, François, who has been weakened to a very different level from his peak, does not have much energy to confront the eyes of True Vision and the people behind them. It is precisely because of this situation that they dared to directly attack the Tower of Silver Light where he was in charge.

"This... who knows? After all, those who want my head may have formed an army." François thought for a while, and said with a helpless look mixed with a smile, "I have been in this position for so many years, and I can't count the people I offended openly and secretly. And the relatives of those people I killed during the war, they may not have given up their hatred for me yet."

So, what exactly is it like?

The purpose of the Eye of True Vision has not yet been clarified. They have created countless chaos in the city of Catris and the surrounding areas. If they just want to solve Cruise François, this action is too great. But it is undeniable that as long as this magician exists, no matter what they want to do, they must first consider his influence, and may even have a head-on conflict with him.

If so, it would be undoubtedly a one-time and for all to deal with Dean François and his men before they became actual threats.

"It's better to say that, but it's better not to believe this guy too much."

Liqi picked up the carbonated drinks at Cote and discussed with Cote with soul connection: "Although I don't know what kind of person he is, I don't think he is a person who can be trusted in full. What he said may be just to win you over."

Indeed, Curt's trust in Dean François is only based on temporary common interests, but the man in front of him may be the kind of human being who uses any means to achieve his goal. If he just entrusted his trust, he may end up being an abandoned child in the end.

"Dean François, I think there are too many things that cannot be solved in this incident." So Curt looked at François and spoke, "No matter how much the incident is behind the incident, the rapid increase in activities of the Eye of True Vision, and the chaotic correspondence between the city hall and the garrison... Some situations are really unreasonable."

After pausing for a while, he continued: "Our cooperation will continue, but I hope you can explain the information you already have in your hands - if possible, it is best to tell me all the "possible involvement" matters."

This is not an unreasonable requirement.

"That's right, intelligence is the basis of the operation." So François nodded, but suddenly shook his head, "But that's it...whether it is appropriate to start with the explanation? If everything starts - it may start with the last battle."

As if he had given up something, François's expression suddenly became relaxed. (To be continued...)
