Chapter 82: Witchcraft Alchemy
“Hm?” Lan Fake was immediately stunned by Old Xie’s sudden remark. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt an intense itch coming from his back. This was an itch coming from the marrow of his bones, it was okay at first, barely tolerable, but as Lan Fake kept scratching his back, this itch not only did not subside, but instead became even more intense, eventually itching so much that Lan Fake could not stand steadily, and sat on the ground with a plop.
“Ah, damn it, what is going on!” After Lan Fake fell to the ground, he soon discovered another thing that made him even more desperate, that was, his whole body’s muscles seemed to have stopped listening to him, so that he was just like a corpse, lying straight and stiff, unable to move, and that itch quickly spread to his whole body, making him feel like life was worse than death.
After Lan Fake fell to the ground, his energy rope also automatically disappeared. Old Xie, who had regained his freedom, walked up to Lan Fake with a smile, looked down at the little old man who looked like a dead toad, and could not help shaking his head and sighing: “You’ve lived for so many years in vain, how come you have no brains? If I didn’t play tricks on you, would I have let you go so easily?”
“You, what tricks did you play! I’m itching to death!” Lan Fake said in agony.
“Hehe, do I have the obligation to tell you?” Old Xie asked with a smile.
“Help me stop it first, okay? I don’t want the Blink Dagger anymore, I’ll heal him!” Lan Fake said almost pleadingly.
Actually, Old Xie’s technique was not surprising when put bluntly, he just turned his Yin-attribute Magic Power into threads, and hid them inside the meridians in Lan Fake’s body, as long as his mind moved, he could make this Yin-attribute Magic Power activate. They could not only block Lan Fake’s meridians, causing paralysis of his whole body.
And the most deadly thing was that when this Yin-attribute Magic Power wandered between the meridians, it would produce an unbearable itch, for a person who could not move his whole body, this was simply a super torture. Old Xie had used this to control and punish subordinates who betrayed him in the past, no matter how strong a man was, he could not withstand such stimulation, their extremely miserable appearance, even Old Xie himself felt a bit unbearable when he saw it, so he would not use it easily unless it was absolutely necessary.
Now seeing that Lan Fake was sweating like rain, Old Xie knew that he could not take it anymore, and then he waved his hand to make that Magic Power return to its place, hiding back in the meridians again.
“Ah, itching me to death!” After Lan Fake climbed up, he immediately said with lingering fear: “Kid, what kind of move is this exactly?”
“You don’t need to ask about this in detail, it’s just a Restriction.” Old Xie then smiled: “You are a Saint Level Expert after all, presumably such a small Restriction shouldn’t be difficult for you, right?”
“This~” Regarding the honor of an Expert, Lan Fake certainly couldn’t show weakness, so although he was a bit unwilling, he could only hatefully say: “Of course I can undo it, that is without a doubt!”
“Then that’s good!” Old Xie smiled slightly, and didn’t say anything more, just pointed at Krishchen and said: “You help him clear the toxins! I won’t activate the Restriction, otherwise, you bear the consequences~”
“You~” Lan Fake was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but the handle was in the other’s hands, he had no way, in the end he could only hatefully say: “I tell you, I can treat him, but, only because of my promise just now, not because I’m afraid of you, you understand?”
Regarding this kind of face-saving behavior, Old Xie just smiled contemptuously, not saying a word!
Lan Fake could do nothing to him, so he could only say depressingly to Krishchen: “Follow me!” Saying that, he put away the Totem Poles and turned to leave.
Old Xie winked at Krishchen, signaling him to follow Lan Fake. Krishchen nodded gratefully, and followed Lan Fake into a room. But Old Xie did not go in, instead he turned around and beckoned to the guy who led the way.
That guy had witnessed Old Xie’s power, now naturally he put away his contempt, and ran respectfully to Old Xie’s side and said, “Young Master, do you have any instructions?”
“You can be responsible for entertaining the family guest Lan Fake, presumably you are also an old member of the family, right?” Old Xie asked indifferently.
“Yes!” The man hurriedly said: “Our family has served the Stephen Family for several generations! We are loyal to the family!”
“En, that’s good!” Old Xie then said: “Don’t leak a single bit of today’s matter, otherwise, you will implicate the whole family!”
Although Old Xie didn’t say it explicitly, but as a manager of a large family, that guy immediately heard the meaning in Old Xie’s words, that was, leakers of secrets, extermination of the family! Scaring him to hurriedly say, “Young Master, rest assured, my mouth is very tight, I guarantee not to leak a single bit!”
“Very good, you may withdraw!” Old Xie nodded with satisfaction. He was actually afraid that the matter of him having a Blink Dagger would leak out, that would be very troublesome, maybe it would expose the matter of him robbing the Augustus Family. Although he didn’t fear the Augustus Family, this kind of unnecessary trouble was still the less the better. Fortunately, there was only one outsider among the witnesses here, otherwise, Old Xie was afraid he would have to harden his heart and kill people to silence them.
After sending that guy away, Old Xie also walked into Lan Fake’s laboratory. Honestly speaking, the manor provided by the Stephen Family was very good, the buildings and various items in this castle were definitely up to the standard of a Kingdom Duke. But the problem was, the one living here was not a Noble, but a Troll.
Consequently, everything here became so weird, the master’s oil paintings on the walls were full of dirt, and there was even a puddle of undried phlegm, a huge gorgeous dining table was placed in the hall, piled with exquisite and precious gold and silver tableware. It was just that, what was placed in these tableware now was not exquisite food, but all kinds of messy things, what grassroots, tree bark, bones, blood that had already turned black, etc., and even a lump of feces~. If a real Noble saw this, they would be angered to death.
At this time, Lan Fake had already completed the examination of Krishchen, only to see him say proudly: “It’s just a little toxin from the Elves, on others, perhaps it would be a little trouble, but for an Elven War Soul Druid, treatment is very simple!”
Hearing this, Old Xie immediately looked at Lan Fake with new eyes, he didn’t expect this old guy to really have some stuff, so easily he figured out Krishchen’s background. Since he said it so easily, presumably the treatment would certainly be very simple, Old Xie then urged: “Since it’s simple, why not treat him quickly!”
“What’s the rush?” Lan Fake rolled his eyes at Old Xie in annoyance, then turned to a cabinet, lowered his head and took out a silver wine cup from inside. This cup was obviously a luxury item for Nobles, not only did it have exquisite patterns on it, it also had the Lightning emblem of the Stephen Family, but unfortunately it was very dirty now, covered with dust, unknown how many years it hadn’t been moved.
Lan Fake casually knocked the cup hard against the cabinet a few times, while shaking off the dust at the bottom of the cup, he also knocked this precious wine cup out of shape, creases appeared on the surface of the cup.
He didn’t care at all that he had destroyed a cup worth several Gold Coins, and wandered around the hall, picking and choosing from various materials here, putting dozens of kinds of beast blood, bones, grassroots, tree bark and other things into the cup, what was especially excessive was, in the end he even grabbed a handful from that lump of feces and threw it in.
After doing these, Lan Fake covered the mouth of the cup with one hand, then kept shaking it while chanting spells. Old Xie could clearly feel waves of strange aura transmitting from Lan Fake to the wine cup, obviously, this was the Shaman’s unique technique of refining Potions.
It should be known that Alchemy capable of refining Potions existed among almost all races, even Dwarves knew a little, but, whether it was Humans, Elves or Dwarves, their refining methods were similar to chemists on Earth, relying on specialized vessels for distillation and other processes, to finally obtain Potions. Only the Orcs’ Shaman was not like this, as long as they had materials, they could directly use the Shaman’s unique Witchcraft to refine, just like the current situation.
Obviously, Shamans were higher in refining efficiency than other races’ Alchemy, on a chaotic battlefield, this was extremely effective, so it was very enviable. Old Xie had also heard the Old Mage mention it with jealousy, he didn’t expect to see it today.
Not much time passed, Lan Fake completed the refining, and gradually stopped, there was not a trace of sweat on his face, appearing extremely relaxed, he reached out and handed the cup to Krishchen, saying: “Drink it!”
At this time, there were no longer so many miscellaneous items in the cup, inside was only half a cup of pitch-black viscous liquid, just like petroleum, and it also emitted a foul stench. Just looking at it made one want to vomit, let alone drink it.
Krishchen took it with a bitter face, looked at Old Xie, obviously asking for his opinion.
Old Xie had no way either, so he could only shrug helplessly and say: “I’m not clear about this thing either, but, I believe Master Lan Fake won’t trick you!” Saying that, he also blinked his eyes, the meaning was, the old guy’s weakness was in my hands, if he dares to trick you, I will make him itch to death.
Krishchen naturally understood Old Xie’s meaning, so he turned his eyes to the foul-smelling liquid in his hand, and then he thought of his wife and children’s great vengeance. Krishchen’s eyes immediately turned red, without saying a word, he drank the liquid in the cup in one breath, that scene, was just like eating his enemy’s flesh.
