Chapter 27: Fatal Flaws (4)
Grahead was a little happy at Jung's guess that "the frontline was defeated", but after his mind turned a little, he immediately wiped the water from his face and covered his mouth and nose in panic. The river water was now dumped with a lot of arsenic, and he was not sure if he accidentally drank the water from the river while swimming.
What made him feel a little relieved was that the river water under his feet did not seem to have changed much.
Everything he had left on the other side of the river before entering the water, including his bow and the two bottles of potions. Now he had only a pair of shorts all over his body, and he could not take any action except to hide on one side with his breath and watch. Fortunately, the soldiers were busy and no one noticed him.
And Jung's conversation with another person continues:
"The front line was defeated? Impossible! Don't the Duke and the others have the potions you made of the master?"
"No matter how powerful the potion is, it will be exhausted - by the way, potion!" Jung's voice sounded, "Everyone working here should have drunk that potion, right?"
"I have drunk it before, but not long ago, we were attacked by the enemy. Many people's medicines were exhausted at that time! Compared to us, the front line needs newly produced potions, so I didn't let the soldiers continue to drink them!"
"Idiot! The front-line army only faces people, and you are facing a one-stop here! You are the group of people who need potions the most!"
"Actually there is a batch that has not been transported out-but can this work? Doesn't the potion come from Cour? Can we really use its own power to deal with it?"
"You underestimate my alchemy too much! Once the contract is reached, even if he wakes up, he will not change anything! Hurry up, take the potions and drink them for the soldiers. This is not something to joke about!"
Before Jung finished speaking, a roar suddenly sounded in the cave. The roar was wild and the sound was much louder than any time Grahamed had heard before. First, the earth under his feet began to tremble due to the sound. Soon, the whole mountain vibrated, and a lot of gravel fell from the cave, and dust poured down from the top like a waterfall.
After a while, the roar calmed down a little, but the lingering sound still surrounded the cave, stirring everyone's eardrums repeatedly.
"Master! The situation seems not very good. The roar is even louder than the previous few days! Do you want me to make preparations? The nearby village has been cleared by us and can be used to station. You will continue to pour arsenic here. I will take the army to the village at the foot of the mountain. If Kur wakes up, he will attack her from the front. Is it OK?"
"Kur is not an ordinary dragon! It is the Sumerian god! God! Are you sure you are going to use your army to attack a god from the front?"
"But..." The voice seemed to be about to cry, "If it were God, then our use of arsenic would definitely be invalid, right?"
"If you don't work, increase the dose! The problem that cannot be solved without increasing the dose! If it really cannot be solved, then increase it! Increase it again! Increase it again and again!"
At the end, Jung obviously became more impatient,
Hearing this, Graheide had roughly grasped the situation - Kur was about to wake up, and Jung was trying to poison Kur with arsenic according to his previous plan. He began to slowly retreat against the stone wall. Since things had developed to this point, no matter whether Kur died or lived, the Duke of Aquitaine could no longer get the powerful potion.
However, before he could retreat ten steps, another roar sounded, which was even ten times higher than the previous one. The strong earthquake swept through the cave with the roar, and the rock walls began to break, and stones that were much larger than people's heads rolled down, with their momentum no less than a landslide. Many soldiers were hit by the stone, and the blood seeped out of the wound dyed the river red.
"Master, the two roars are so close that this kind of thing has never happened before! Master, what's wrong with this?"
"No! Such a large amount of arsenic, even if Kuhl cannot be killed, it can slightly suppress his awakening process! Check every bag carefully! Are the things you throw in really arsenic?"
Grahaide stretched his body out of the ground with all his strength, and his ears were still buzzing by the loud sound just now. His head was also shocked, and everything in front of him was shaking there. After a long time, he couldn't stop.
During his recovery, the group of soldiers began to carefully inspect each sack. Soon, a soldier shouted, "Master, these bags of powder seem a little different!"
Jung walked over a few steps, pinched the powder from the bags, sniffed it, licked it, and soon, his body began to sweat, his face began to turn red, and his legs began to tremble: "This... is not arsenic at all. The unscrupulous merchant actually mixed this thing in it, and his eyes were mixed with beads!"
The commander leaned over and asked, "Master, what is this?"
"Aphrodisiac...and is an extremely strong aphrodisiac!"
“…”
A long silence.
"Master...will Kur be male or female?"
"This question has no meaning at all!" Jung shouted angrily, "The problem now is that it is awakened! Wake up in advance!"
The river water began to boil, and a large amount of white mist rose from the river surface, which soon covered the entire cave with a thick layer of thick yarn, making people unable to see their fingers. Another dripping sound of water flowing sounded, gradually condensed into drizzle and dripping on everyone. The water in the cave was transforming repeatedly between gas and liquid, just like an alchemist distilling the essence of matter over and over again.
The commander's voice sounded: "Hurry...get out of the cave!"
But what responded to him was the chaotic voices of the soldiers:
"General! We can't find the ladder!"
"General, the road here just now is gone!"
"General, this stone wall has become warm! And it's a bit hot!"
"General, above it-there are eyes, dragon's eyes!!!"
A pair of huge and dark yellow eyes appeared directly above the cave, and the majesty that emerged from the pupils pierced the thick fog like sunlight.
Jung took a long breath, raised his head and stared back at his huge eyes:
"Kur—! I am Jung, the strongest alchemist in the world. I will use my strength to make you sleep again!"
He raised his hands and the magic poured out from his body.
"Don't panic!" The commander tried hard to calm the soldiers, "Master Jung took action, we are saved!"
