Chapter 26 The Missing Female Mage
"Collect, collect!"
The prince collapsed on the throne and was shocked. He drank strong red wine one after another, but his hands trembled so much that he could hardly hold the glass, let alone prepare to deliver it to his mouth. The scarlet liquor spilled out of the glass, wet his chin and dyed his clothes red.
"I have to thank you sincerely." The prince had no choice but to throw down the cup. He tried to sit upright, but his fear still couldn't retreat at this moment. He straightened his back with all his strength to make himself more like a stone statue. However, the shaking corners of his lips made all his expectations empty. The alchemists intended to leave, but the prince still left them. He thanked them, "Thanks to you. You saved me and Nianta. I have no doubt that Alan Burt's madness will kill me too.
The old man is re-wraping the wound for Leo. The bandage was lifted again and again, and the pain poured out with blood. He clenched his teeth and tried his best not to make a sound. He didn't hear a word clearly, but he really hoped that a little poppy pollen could paralyze his nerves and make him feel no pain. But the old man doesn't seem to know its effect. She just used maggots to release the dirty blood and eat the carrion. Then he was applied to him with mushy grass leaves.
"Alchemist, what the hell is going on? I still can't figure it out." Prince Oberon frowned, and there was still horror in his eyes. Nianta...and her curse...and Alanbert, how could he be an alchemist?"
You should ask Baron Allenbert, not me. Li Ou moved his body slightly, but was suppressed by the old man. He had to endure it and said with difficulty, "That's because..."
"Let me answer for him." The bachelor said softly and took over. The Baron is the curser. He cursed Miss Nianta, and the curse turned her into a night witch.
The prince whispered in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
"Your Royale?"
"What's the matter?"
"Curses will not be born out of thin air. Something must have happened, right?
The prince was silent. It was not until the old lady bowed and left that he waved back all the waiters. Alanbert loves the wife of the Count of the Golden Boat, Vivian, and the mother of Nianta. He sighed, "He loves her, and she loves him."
But she married the Count of the Golden Boat.
Prince O'Bron nodded heavily. You have gained my trust, but please keep your mouth shut." Before telling the whole story, he first warned. Dealing with the king is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. They loved each other, but because of the family, Vivian had to marry the Earl of Golden Boat. Alan Burt also married Margaret. However..." He seemed to be a little difficult to speak. The prince hesitated for a moment. However, they are still coming and going, secretly having private meetings.
"The baron definitely can't stand his lover being pregnant with someone else's child."
"Yes." The prince's voice was dry and hoarse, and every word he said seemed to have exhausted his strength. Their noise is well known. Several families fought back and there, but there was never a result. In the end, I ordered them not to see each other again. Prince Oberon's eyes gradually lost focus. He grabbed the glass, but the wine inside had been drunk clean by him. He sighed sadly and put down his glass. I thought... I thought everything would calm down." He said, "However, it wasn't long before the Count of the Golden Boat and Vivian died one after another, and even Nianta died soon after." He was silent for a while, looked at the alchemist and asked for help weakly. You said, alchemist, did this Alan Burt? Will it be him?"
"I haven't seen their bodies, and I can't confirm it."
"...their appearance..." The prince shuddered. Leo can guess what kind of terrible scene it will be, which makes a king afraid of it. Monks said they died of a terrible disease. But now that I think about it, I think it's either magic or poison. The prince's face showed pain. But how could he kill them? Alanbert actually killed his beloved.
"Hate because of love." Miss Bachelor said in a low voice. And not only that..."
"Not only that?"
"He did the same to his wife and his son..."
"...wait." The prince's eyes were full of shock and despair. ...You mean...Edward, and Margaret..."
The alchemist nodded heavily. Probably has nothing to do with him."
"I didn't expect it to be him. How could it be him? Did he hurt Edward and turn Margaret into a monster? The prince shook his head in disbelief, "And he planted you?"
"I didn't lie, and I didn't mean to sow discord and frame it." The alchemist assured Prince O'Peren. Sooner or later, they will leave, which is meaningless. I thought the symbol in his house was left by others. Leo said his guess, "But now, I think he did it himself."
"Those magic symbols? He...is he exposed to magic? Learning witchcraft?"
"Otherwise, how can the curse take effect?"
The reality is in front of us, and the prince can't believe it. How could he be so crazy? The prince muttered to himself, "Does he want to make everyone fall in love, tortured and die crazily?"
"You have to ask yourself."
"I will, I will. But I don't know how to face him." What do you mean? How can the prince not face the prisoner?" Because, because..."
"For what?"
"Nanta, Nianta is actually Alanbert's daughter." The prince finished speaking in one breath, and then completely collapsed on the chair, covering his face with his palm.
Lu Yuewu exclaimed uncontrollably, "This is simply..."
Liou only felt his head buzzing. He wanted to break his head and never thought it would be like this. He heard the sound of everyone present swallowing saliva. If... I mean, if... the Baron knows..."
"He won't know, and Nianta won't know. No one else can know except us. Do you understand, alchemist? The prince's warning was like a sharp sword on their necks. After receiving their definite answer, the prince raised his hand weakly. Come on, alchemist and ladies, leave first and leave me alone. Yahan, send it to our guests. As for Alan Burt... I will let him die secretly and decently."
The prince has no choice. They left.
They were silent all the way, sitting in the sedan chair like shrimp with bowed backs. Until Lu Yuewu whispered. Leo, I'm still surprised. Why did he do that? Killing my lover, killing my wife and children... In the end... This is the biggest tragedy I've ever seen." There was an uneasy throbbing in her eyes. But I think... is he the real sorcerer?"
The alchemist and Miss Bachelor looked at each other.
"No." They said it almost at the same time.
The female swordsman's body trembled slightly. Who is that? Did you deceive the prince again? She said uneasily, "If he knew... he would be furious."
"No one can determine the cause of the curse." Miss Bachelor comforted her. It is enough for us to know that there will be evil where there are people. Of course, we have to have a way to defeat them.
"With killing?"
"Ussorally. I have traveled to many places, and people usually talk about monsters and killing. The kings were also happy to crown all kinds of crimes on the monster's head. Usually people just want to protect themselves, and only a few people ask for the lifting of spells. Miss Bachelor whispered, "If the monster is still cruel to human reason, revenge is inevitable."
"Nianta..."
"Moon dance, we don't know how the curse was formed." Just like he doesn't know how the curse came about. But Alan Burt's madness may be a spell*, which led to today's situation. Pure malice is more terrible than magic witchcraft. As long as the malice dissipates, it can naturally be solved.
"She won't change back again?"
"Unless someone casts a spell again." The alchemist told her.
The sedan chair stopped. Li Ou slowly moved down with the help of Lu Yuewu, "I have to go to sleep for a while." He felt dizzy. Tiredness comes like waves.
"Do you want me to get some medicine for you?" Miss Bachelor asked.
He struggled to jump the stone steps in front of the door with one leg. Some sleeping pills." The itching of the wound will torture him to wake him up, and the ghostly nightmare will never linger. All sleeping pills are conducive to an early recovery. Sorry to trouble you."
"Mr., Miss." The fisherman's daughter suddenly opened the door and frightened them. You are back." She looked anxious and stood uneasy.
"Naliya, what's wrong?" Miss Bachelor asked.
She said quickly, "Miss Rosie is missing!"
Is it gone? What's going on? Is it worth a fuss about?" She goes out for a walk and won't get lost. Li Ou said, "She is not a child. There is no need to keep her in a cage and stare at her all day.
"No, it's not, sir." Nalya waved her hand eagerly, "Asha said that Miss Rosie went out angrily after you left and hasn't come back until now. It's been a whole day now.
They didn't see the voice of the lame girl. Where's Asha?"
"She went out to find Miss Rosie. She insists on going, and no one can stop her.
She is lame, and this place is completely strange to her, and she can't speak Valia. Where is the Tario Knight? What about the Raven Feiduo? Li Ou asked.
"Lord Tario went with Asha." This is not bad." Mr. Feiferdo took his family to help find it.
"No news came back?"
Naliya shook her head, "No, nothing."
"What a matter." Leo told them, "She knew she would come back by herself." However, he didn't see Rosie until the sun went down. Has she left? Completely away from him? Gentleness is really like the poet said, like a blooming ephemeral flower, will there always be only a short moment? When the hot ** fades, will it only make each other's painful reason and reality struggle and fight to the death? He looked at the calm and waveless pond, wondering if her heart would be as quiet as this pond, just like a pool of stagnant water, waiting for the cold winter to completely block it?
"Li Ou," Lu Yuewu came to him, "Captain Yahan has sent red-robed guards, and they have helped find them. Rosie will be back soon. I'm sure she won't leave."
He turned his head and looked at her long silk-like hair with a golden halo under the afterglow of the sunset. Suddenly, he just wanted to bury his head weakly. She has always supported every decision behind him - even if it is wrong.
However, the female swordsman turned away. Go to bed early. I don't think even Rosie wants to see you torture her body.
He knows her worries. So Li Ou took a step back and threw the pebble in his hand into the pond. All right." He said in a low voice, "I'm going now." The pond spread a circle of ripples behind him.
