The career of an evil alchemist that started with picking up a crazy sword girl

Chapter 50 The two of them together have a total of 108 hearts and minds

The next day, late at night.

Lan Jie looked at the closed door of the alchemy workshop in front of him and let out a long sigh.

He was a little nervous.

If he was facing another warrior, he would not be afraid even if the other party had much stronger strength than him.

But if he was facing an opponent who could use curses, the pressure would be a little great.

This strange method of killing people invisibly is too oppressive for those who don’t understand it.

But...

Although he was nervous, Lan Jie had no intention of retreating.

Because the mastermind who killed his eldest brother was probably in this house now.

With his left hand tightly holding the long sword that once belonged to his eldest brother at his waist and his right hand holding a beautifully packaged gift box, Lan Jie pushed open the door of the alchemy workshop.

The door was not locked, and the threshold passed the welcome bell, and a crisp jingle came.

Just by listening to the sound, you can tell that it is a very high-end welcome bell, but it still seems a little harsh in this overly quiet night.

The store was dark, except for the wall lamp on the side of the staircase leading to the second floor, which seemed to be deliberately guiding Lan Jie.

Licking his dry lips, Lan Jie took a step and walked up the wooden staircase step by step.

The stairs were covered with soft carpets, which felt good to step on, but the environment was too quiet. Even the sound of his footsteps on the carpet sounded a bit noisy in his ears.

After walking up the first flight of stairs and turning the corner of the stairs, Lan Jie raised his head and looked at the second floor.

The door leading to the second floor was open, and there was light inside. At a glance, he could see a decorative painting hanging on the wall of the second floor.

The whole decorative painting used a sacred warm gold tone, emphasizing the dazzling sense of light. Just looking at it would feel very sacred.

However, I don’t know if it’s because it’s just a decorative painting. These colors seem to be carefully arranged everywhere on the canvas, but they are separated, and they can’t make up a complete image, nor can they see specific things.

Although purely colorful decorative paintings are not uncommon, this is probably the first time that Lan Jie has seen a painting that looks sacred but gives people an uncomfortable sense of distortion and fragmentation.

His throat moved and he swallowed his saliva. Then Lan Jie walked up with full energy.

Plop, plop...

He walked up the stairs one by one, and Lan Jie tried to prick up his ears, trying to find out what was happening on the second floor.

But no matter how hard he tried, he could only hear his own footsteps and heartbeats.

Until his footsteps stepped on the last step.

"Bang!"

The sudden explosion startled Lan Jie, and he instinctively raised his hand to block it, but the expected impact did not come.

At the same time, he heard a laugh.

"Hey, young man, don't be so nervous, is my welcome ceremony so scary?"

Hearing this voice, Lan Jie came back to his senses, looked at his body, and found that he was now covered with ribbons of various colors.

The explosion just now was actually the sound of the ribbon salute.

Realizing this, Lan Jie suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Although he knew clearly that the old man in front of him definitely had no good intentions, his behavior just now was somewhat embarrassing.

"Ahem, sorry, it's so quiet in the middle of the night, I got scared," Lan Jie cleared his throat and was about to move forward.

Who knew that just as he took a step, the floor under his feet suddenly turned up, and then several pigeons flew out from under the floor, flapping their feathers on Lan Jie's face, scaring Lan Jie to scream again.

At the same time, there was another burst of laughter in the room.

Lan Jie immediately felt a little bit overwhelmed, stepped firmly on his heels, and stared at the source of the laughter.

"Master Sebuike, are you a little too much?" Lan Jie said with gritted teeth.

Hearing this, Sebuike, who was wearing a nightgown and even a crooked conical nightcap, did not hide the smile on his face at all, but said: "My little friend Lan Jie, I sent you a letter last night, and you made me wait for an extra day for nothing. Shouldn't I play a trick on you to vent my anger?"

"You said you would come to see you late at night, but you didn't specify which night it was, so how would I know?" Lan Jie felt a little angry, but suddenly remembered Lu Lin's instructions, took a deep breath, and forced his anger down, "Alas... okay, it's my fault. After all, you sent the letter suddenly, so I have to think about it, right?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter, just come," Sebuike smiled and gestured to the seat opposite him, "Please sit down."

"Nothing else to play tricks on me, right?" Lan Jie asked with a vigilant look.

"Haha, don't worry, do you still think I'm some naughty child who can keep playing pranks on you?" Sebuike waved his hand.

"That's good," Lan Jie said, holding the gift box in his hand, and sat down in the seat opposite Sebuai Ke, and then placed the gift box on the coffee table between the two of them.

"Huh? What is this?" Sebuai Ke looked at the gift box on the table with interest.

"After all, you are the master of our town. I thought it would be too rude to come empty-handed, so I bought some high-end snacks. I hope the master will not dislike it," Lan Jie said, opening the gift box, revealing sixteen snacks separated by cardboard, which looked a bit like high-end macarons.

"Oh?" After hearing this, Sebuike immediately showed interest and came closer, "Ah, this sweet smell is so fragrant, and it looks very exquisite... Well, every flavor here is delicious. no the same?"

"Yes, each one is different," Lan Jie said with a smile, "The customized gift box from Trier Pastry Shop is the latest new product. Master is busy on weekdays, so you haven't tried it yet, right?"

"Well, I really haven't tasted it," Sebuike said with a smile, "There are so many flavors... Well, I don't know, which flavors do little Lanjie recommend?"

Hearing this, Lan Jie was obviously stunned for a moment, laughed twice, and then said: "Ah ha, these things are quite expensive. I am willing to buy them for myself. I really don't know which ones are delicious. You How about trying it yourself?”

"Oh, that's right," Sebuike said as if he suddenly realized, "Then... well, let me try this piece first."

As he spoke, Sebuike picked up a piece of pastry in the middle and slowly moved it towards his mouth.

But in fact, his attention was not focused on the pastries at all. Instead, he was staring at Lan Jie the whole time.

When he saw Lan Jie looking at him eagerly almost the whole time, as if he was looking forward to him eating the pastry, Sebuek's lips raised a smile.

He closed his mouth, looked at Lan Jie with a smile, and said, "I suddenly feel that this is not appropriate."

Lan Jie trembled after hearing this, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Uh...what's wrong with it?"

"Look, you bought this pastry. You didn't even eat it yourself before you thought of buying it for me. But today you came and I even played a prank on you. Thinking of this, I feel really uncomfortable. It’s appropriate, so…”

Sebuike said as he turned the pastry in his hand to Lan Jie.

"I think I'd rather give you this piece of cake to eat first?"

"This..." Lan Jie grinned, "It's not good, is it? This is a meeting gift I brought you. How can I eat it myself?"

"No, I don't mind," the smile on Sebuike's face became even bigger, "Come on, eat, don't be polite to me."

He smiled brightly and his tone was gentle, but inexplicably, Lan Jie felt a hint of threat.

The scene fell into a stalemate for a while.

Two seconds later, Lan Jie suddenly laughed.

"Haha, then, hey, you're welcome," Lan Jie took the pastry, rubbed a handful of unnecessary haha, and then directly put the pastry into his mouth.

Sebuike's brows suddenly moved.

He was about to say something, but he saw Lan Jie chewing intoxicatedly and saying vaguely: "Ah, it's so delicious. This taste. Alas, everything about this gift box is good, but every taste is delicious." There’s only one copy, okay…”

As he spoke, Lan Jie handed the pastry that he had bitten off half a piece to Sebuike again. Then, he swallowed the pastry in his mouth and said clearly: "Fortunately, I didn't finish it all, otherwise I would stuff it." Master Sebuike can’t taste it... Ah, by the way, Master Sebuike, you wouldn’t mind me biting it, right?”

Sebuike looked at Lan Jie, the smile on his face did not change at all, and he took the piece of pastry very naturally.

"Of course, little friend Lanjie," Sebuike said, bringing the half piece of pastry to his mouth, and then chewed it with a look of intoxication.

However, Lan Jie, who has keen vision, still saw it. The moment Sebuike put the pastry into his mouth, he let go, and the half piece of pastry fell into his sleeve under the cover of his arm. inside.

However, Lan Jie, who noticed this scene, was not annoyed at all, and even the smile on his face was a little wider than before.

Chapter 51 If there is no accident, there should be an accident

In the night, the huge gray and white cat's face flickered in and out of the shadows of the buildings.

Black dust fell from Lu Lin's hand, carving out complex rune patterns on the ground.

Finally, with a wave of the eggbeater in Lu Lin's hand, bah, the alchemy staff waved, the dust condensed, and the originally hazy runes instantly became clear, and then, the edges of the runes lit up with warm orange fluorescence.

"Well, that's enough..." Lu Lin murmured and patted the ashes on his body.

Then, he turned his head and looked behind him.

Tanuki, who was wearing a white dress, was standing there quietly at the moment, as dazed as ever.

When Lu Lin saw this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Li Mi, are you really not sleepy? In fact, you can sleep at home."

Li Mi didn't answer, and didn't even move his head, as if he didn't hear Lu Lin speak at all.

"Oh, forget it, that's okay," Lu Lin turned to look at a luxurious building not far ahead.

That is Sebuike's sacred alchemy workshop.

"This kid has been in there for a while. There shouldn't be any big problems..."

————

————

Sebuek's Sacred Alchemy Workshop, second floor.

The two people sitting at the coffee table were smiling and looking happy.

It's just that the pastry on the table, even though its sweet aroma is so tempting, just smelling it will make the kid next door cry, but no one has touched it since the first piece was missing.

The two of them also had a very tacit understanding, and neither mentioned the cake thing again, as if the game test just now had never happened.

"Master, didn't you say that as long as I can come, I can know the cause of my brother's death?" Lan Jie sat on the coffee table, put his elbows on both knees, and said slowly, "But the problem is, I know the cause of my brother's death very well. It was all because of that bastard Peter Pi, who was covered in ghosts. My brother repeatedly showed mercy to his men during the duel, but he took the opportunity to chop off my brother's head."

"You are right," Sebuike nodded, "but have you ever thought about how your brother could get such an opportunity with his ability?"

"That's wrong," Lan Jie shrugged, "In a duel, the sword has no eyes, and my brother is not some invincible man. The god of war who is the enemy of the enemy, he wants to spare Peter Pi's life, but Peter Pi only wants my brother's life. Anyone who practices martial arts knows how dangerous this situation can be. "

"Well... okay, what you said does make sense," Sebuike smiled, "Then, have you ever thought about why Peter Pi is so eager to kill your brother? After all, you are just fighting for power, not fighting to the death. Even if he wants to be ruthless, it is enough to cut off your brother's arm. After it's over, he will pay for high-end healing crystals to help your brother connect his arm. Wouldn't this not only convince the public, but also keep your brother, a general, to serve him? "

Hearing this, Lan Jie's eyebrows moved.

This set of rhetoric sounds familiar to him.

Although the content is different from what Lu Lin said at the beginning, the core meaning is the same, pointing out the doubts about Peter Pi's motives and benefits in killing people on the spot.

But the problem is that Lu Lin can point this out because he saw Peter Pi's action with his own eyes.

But Sebuike was not at the scene, how could he know the specific situation at that time?

Of course, if he asked now, he would say that someone told him about the situation at the scene, but if you think about it carefully, you will feel that the logic chain behind it is quite unnatural.

"The fox's tail is exposed..."

Lan Jie thought to himself, and put away the idea of ​​continuing to argue with Sebuike, and said directly: "So, what do you want to say?"

"Woldy, do you know this guy?" Sebuike asked.

"I know," Lan Jie nodded, "Peter's lackey, like his boss, he is covered with ghosts and symbols, and the tattooed twin worms of the Night Snail School."

"Other people's nicknames are obviously the tattooed twin heroes, forget it, it's the same," Sebuike sat up, leaned on the back of the sofa, clasped his fingers, and said slowly, "Woldy, this guy, didn't he almost die in your hands in the fight two years ago?"

"Huh? Is this true?" Lan Jie was stunned.

"Have you forgotten? You had a conflict in the East Street gambling house last year. They cheated your men. You went to find the place and almost cut down all the gambling houses," said Sebuike. "At that time, Voldy was among them."

"Well... it seems that there was such a thing," Lan Jie touched his chin, "but they were too weak at that time and forgot about it, so what?"

"He almost lost his life that time. Although he was saved by the doctor, his little brother could not get up again," said Sebuike. "Later, he found me and wanted me to save his second brother. I agreed, and the condition was that he would be my spy in the Night Snail Sect."

Hearing this, Lan Jie frowned.

This set of rhetoric sounded fine at first, but Lan Jie had no way to verify its authenticity. Even if Sebuike made it up, he had no way to do anything.

Nodding pretentiously, Lan Jie said, "So that's the case. That's really interesting. So what did he tell you?"

"He didn't tell me much. After all, he is Peter Pi's confidant. He would be a little reluctant to betray his boss," Sebu Aike said slowly, "but I still have a lot of other information in my hands. With some key information he provided, I still found out a big thing..."

"From the death of the son of your former gang leader, to the disappearance of the former gang leader, to the death of your brother, this series of events was all done by Peter Pi!"

Hearing this, Lan Jie's eyes widened immediately.

He was really shocked.

Although he thought Sebu Aike was good at talking nonsense, he didn't expect him to be so good at talking nonsense.
