258 Darkroom(2/2)
He pointed to the table in the corner and said, "That thing...is it a lizard horn?"
"Ah, it seems so."
Qian Zhihe exclaimed: "It's very similar to the thing I saw when I was in the Mages Council."
"So... that one over there is the Cormarin potion?"
"Well, I haven't seen that before...but if it's that kind of dissolving potion, there should be a yellow mark on the bottle..."
"Very good, we can check it out."
Stepping forward and raising the bottle thoughtfully, Kima slowly returned to the girl's side: "Is this the sign?"
"Yes, yes." Qian Zhihe took a careful look: "Although it took a long time, I remember it should be like this..."
"It seems that we did find the things on that list here." Smiling with some understanding, Kima held the bottle and said: "This can prove many things, such as our Lord Stanford, is indeed doing something.
What the experiment looks like..."
"No, that's not right."
Duan Qing, who had retreated to the door, suddenly said: "This proves a bigger problem."
"oh?"
"Time." Duan Qing, who had been staring at the entire room, said without moving his eyes at all: "The time on the list is the 8th of Huoyue."
"So what...uh."
"Yes, you should have noticed."
Carefully observing the direction of the messed up tables and chairs in the laboratory, Duan Qing had an inexplicable smile on his face: "According to what you just said, our Lord Stanford... is not here now."
"He hasn't even been here for several days."
With understanding in the eyes of the other two, Duan Qing began to move along a certain route: "Why would a family head who has not been here for a long time leave such a shopping list? Do you have to buy the materials early, and then
Do you want to wait until he comes back?"
"Maybe this is his experimental plan, so he wants to hoard materials..."
"Impossible." Qian Zhihe immediately retorted: "Some of the things inside cannot be preserved for a long time, such as the magic powder placed there. If they are not used for a long time, they will gradually lose their magical effect.
The magic gems over there are stored in the wrong way..."
"That is, someone used this place when the owner was not at home." Duan Qing interrupted the girl's explanation: "And... that person doesn't seem to like cleanliness and tidiness."
"Is this...the reason why this place has become such a mess?" Kima whispered: "The real reason?"
"Maybe." With these words on his lips, Duan Qing had already walked to the corner of the room, in front of a bookshelf: "Maybe he doesn't understand magic at all..."
"This is impossible." Kima said immediately: "If you don't understand magic, why would you buy so many materials..."
"There is a way of using magic that does not require knowing its internal principles." Duan Qing shook his head and looked up and down at the dazzling array of books on the bookshelf in front of him: "When I was in the fortress, I once saw
Use it that way.”
Kima's pupils shrank.
"People who don't understand magic can still use magic. As long as there is someone who understands magic and teaches them in advance according to the established procedures." Duan Qing seemed to have confirmed something suspicious, and stretched his hand towards the corner of the bookshelf.
Touched it: "It's like a doctor giving medicine to a patient."
"And..."
With a strong force, he pulled down a book from the bookshelf.
