Devil’s Son-in-Law

Chapter 18 Battle of Life and Death! Apprentice to Genius

This team from Teito has a powerful knight and well-equipped soldier, most notably the middle-aged man on a black demon horse.

This is a skinny demon who looks mediocre, but even the two pharmacists beside him dare not slack on this man who is only a pharmacist, because he is Sandru, the greatest pharmacist genius of the Fallen Angel Empire in 300 years!

A pedestrian was welcomed at the gates of the city by Princess Shia herself, and despite all the courtesies and respect shown to Her Royal Highness, the so-called superiority from the big city overwhelmed the rhetoric as she looked at the depressed buildings surrounding her on her way to the palace.

After entering the palace, the guest lord sat down and Shea opened her mouth: “Everyone has come a long way. It's hard work. Let's take a full day off before we discuss the challenge. ”

Sandru stood up: “Your Highness, I am here to challenge Master Ardas, and I ask that this challenge begin now, please understand that I am anxious to become a master. ”

Master Zuola and Master Camp on one side smiled in unison. Was it supposed to be a surprise attack, two days' notice, or according to the rules of the pharmacist league, otherwise they wouldn't give it a day, now how can they give each other a chance to delay?

“This poor place has nothing to rest in.” A scornful voice came from the visitors, the young knight who escorted the team, wearing a silver full body armor.

Shea recognized this as the military's new noble Shelter, whose father was one of the first three generals to fall into Obsidian empire, frowned slightly, pretending not to have heard. Acina across the street couldn't hold her hand and stood up and drank: "Shelter, you cowardly bastard, you dare defy the majesty of Her Royal Highness! Pull out the sword and let me see if my men will grow! ”

Shelter lost to Asina's sword a few years ago in a juvenile swordsmanship tournament. She uncovered the old things in public. She was angry and about to do it. She was stopped by Master Camp. At this time, if extraneous branches are born, against Shea's schemes, it is important to get back to the point.

Master Zola was also a dark elf, and he said, "Why didn't you see Master Ardas? The master must accept that the challenge is the rules of the League of Pharmacists, without discussion, why don't we go directly to his lab. ”

Hearing Master Zoola get straight to the point, he wasn't panicking, but it was just slightly difficult to say: "Actually, Master Ardas had an accident three days ago when he was experimenting with a powerful new drug, and now he is seriously injured and incapacitated to come, which is why I said to discuss it. ”

“Oh?” Master Zola chuckled. “Why did we just get here and Master Ardas had an accident? You're not afraid of Sandru's prestige, are you? ”

Shea was unchanged and asked, "Master Ardas was in an accident three days ago when it was not known that Sandru would challenge him. With your itinerary, it took at least a month for the Emperor to get here. Why did we only receive a magical summons from the Pharmacists' League two days before he arrived? ”

This rebuttal is a bleeding clarification of Aldas' innocence while implicitly stating that it is a conspiracy. Master Zuola spoke instantly, and Master Kamp, a member of the demonic group, spoke: “His Highness Shea misunderstood that we had been invited by Lord Drocher of the Red Phantom to visit the Red Phantom City. Sandru temporarily decided to challenge Master Ardas in the Dark Moon, which is why the magic summons was so hasty. If the elder princess doesn't believe you, ask Joseph, Lord Drocher's eldest son, who I think is the treasurer of Dark Moon City. ”

Adjacent to the Dark Moon Territory, as a close family of the Prince of Obsidian, the Dark Moon's "eyes” are watched by the Emperor. Because much of the resources and funding for the Dark Moon Territory came from the Red Ghost, Shea had to reuse Joseph, who came to “put it into effect”. Joseph was clearly from Dark Moon City, and if he testified about it, it was even more irrefutable.

In retrospect, Sandru's challenge was inherently procedural, and there was no point in arguing over the time of notification.

“No, how could I not believe Master Camp?” Hia nodded calmly, "I had just sent Kaguron to ask the injured Master Ardas if he himself had asked for an extension of this challenge. ”

Kamp and Zola looked at each other and exchanged views quickly. You can hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime. If the other party wants to postpone, Sandru stays in Dark Moon City until Ardas “heals” the war, and you can't stop driving Ardas away anyway.

Shortly after, the report of Royal Palace Guard Chief Kaguron surprised the emperors, including Sandru - the seriously injured Master Ardas, reluctant to postpone, promised to accept Sandru's challenge openly in the middle of the Dark Moon City arena!

Though Sandru had thought the other party was going to do something about the delay and not expect to respond directly to it, he bullied himself boldly and boastfully: “It is rare that Master Ardas responded to the battle with injuries, and in tribute to him, I am now going to the arena to begin the challenge. ”

Shea couldn't see any fluctuations on her cold face and said lightly: "In that case, please wait, I'll send someone to the arena right away to arrange everything. ”

The Dark Moon Arena, one of the largest buildings in the city, was quite famous four hundred years ago, when the Bezib royal family, who had disappeared into hiding, appeared in the Dark Moon City, taking control of the Dark Moon Territory, attempting to usurp the Red Ghost Territory and threatening Didu. The Great of the Day and the Night came, and it was in this arena that the Battle of the Bezib royal family eventually devastated the opponent, and the man was never found.

Corresponding to the long history of the arena is the dilapidated setting, which was quickly cleaned up by guards such as Kaguron, with a high platform and a row of seats as VIP seats. The rest of the population, naturally not treated so well, did not in any way affect their enthusiasm and the otherwise cold arena was overcrowded.

Though there is considerable fear of the frequently screaming Master Aldas, it is in the heart that he wishes to defeat the outsiders and fight for the light of the dark moon.

In the eyes of the crowd, Sandru's attendants have masterfully placed a range of utensil materials. On the other hand, Master Aldas was carried into the arena by a stretcher, followed by the new apprentice, Chen Rui, which caused the audience to make a noise.

The presence of Chen Rui frowned Sandru, and after hearing Shea introduce Chen Rui's history, he revealed an unexpected mystery. Zola and Camp heard that Aldas had taken a human prisoner as an apprentice, and they despised him.

Chen Rui was still facing such a large scene for the first time. Looking at the myriad strange-looking demonic faces around him, he set his mind and gave a gift to the VIP table. “I am Master Aldas' new apprentice, Chen Rui. Since the master was accidentally injured in the experiment, he was temporarily unable to act, so he commanded me to accept the challenge. I wonder if Lord Sandru agrees? ”

Command apprentice to accept the challenge? And a new apprentice soon! This is the first time in the history of the Master Challenge that Sandru has clearly felt an insult despite Aldas' reasons for being seriously injured and unable to act: did Aldas simply try to humiliate his opponent once before leaving, knowing he was going to fail?

“I agree," Sandru stared at Aldas in the distance, flashing in the eye: “I asked for a life and death war, wondering if Master Aldas had the guts to let that human apprentice take his place? ”

Life and death! Zola and Camp reveal unexpected colors, and the battle between life and death is when pharmacists test each other directly against each other, not as a double. The first to be judged a failure by poisoning is usually done by both sides with deep hatred. Under this rule, even if an Aldassian apprentice appears, he must himself be punished for death as long as the apprentice is poisoned.

The two masters, Zola and Kamp, were absolutely confident in Sandru's strength and, although unexpectedly, soon returned to calm.

Indeed, Ardas across the street was caught in contemplation, seemingly thinking about something, and the human apprentice showed fear and came to Ardas whispering, seemingly afraid to respond. The Dark Pokémon looked angry, his fingers trembling and pointing at humans, but he could only lift a little, and he fell helplessly, and the severely injured appeared not to be a phony.

The surrounding voices are too noisy to hear the whispers of both, even in the lifetime of acute hearing.

Joseph looked at it and his eyebrows were locked up: from inside information, Ardas had not been injured three days earlier, but had been in the lab for two days, accidentally injured in response to Sandru and forcibly configuring some highly challenging potions?

Ultimately, Ardas made the decision to let Apprentice Chen Rui take his place in the battle between life and death. It seems that this Master Dark Pokémon intends to repay the Grace of the Elder Princess with death.

After the guards announced the rules of life and death to the incomprehensible audience, the people of Dark Moon City became louder and more excited. They couldn't understand the medicine, so they could always understand life and death!

Sandru smiled brutally, he didn't think there was any suspense in the fight, and with his newly developed poison, even if it was Aldas himself, only the poison had died, let alone the weak human.

Princess Shea announced the start of the race, the noise around her stopped and everyone's eyes fell on the poor human being, and someone was already betting on how long humans would be poisoned? One second or two?

Sandru began dispensing quickly, and the skilled and precise methods made both the referees, Zola and Camp, complain that the talented pharmacist was truly famous.

In just two minutes, a bottle of medicine is ready. On the other hand, apprentice Chen Ruizheng clumsily commanded under the gesture of Ardas, even the classification of raw materials had not been completed.

According to the rules, if one party prepares the drug first, the other party can only stop and prepare the antidote within the prescribed time to try the poison. The battle between life and death is not only about the strength and weakness of the drug, but also about the skill and wisdom of the pharmacist himself. If you only want to be fast, the medicine may not be good enough, and if it's too slow, the other party will take the lead.

Sandru indicated that the referee had made the other party's reagent. Chen Rui looked very nervous. He closed his eyes and prayed for a moment before shivering and picking up the dark blue medicine. Nobody knows. He's praying. Progress! Progress!
