False prophecies kill people [Western Fantasy]

Benlik's wizard tower is very different from Shay's wizard tower.

Although from the outside, the two towers look like replicas produced by the same group of workers on the assembly line. They are tall, dark, dark, and the gaps between the large stone bricks are covered with green moss.

But the real difference is inside.

Benlik's wizard tower has already opened all permissions to Xie Yi, so Xie Yi can look at it with the eyes of the host and the guest at the same time.

There are stairs in the wizard tower, but they are specially designed for wizard apprentices. After opening the door, Xie Yi went straight to the right, where there was a simple teleportation device that could teleport him from the lower floor of the wizard tower to the upper floor.

Xie Yi and Jacob stood together on a platform made of metal and gears, and input their witchcraft power into the crystal device on the side of the platform.

The witch power carried the breath of the soul, and quickly let the wizard tower confirm the identity of the visitor.

The transmission device started, and the gears began to rotate "click click", Xie Yi felt a burst of dizziness, the space distorted and deformed in front of his eyes, emitting a kaleidoscope of colorful light, and then everything returned to normal, and the steel platform under his feet was still composed of metal and gears .

They have reached the upper level of the wizard's tower.

Xie Yi really felt that wizards have a lot of black technologies that have not been promoted at all.

Like the teleportation device that just sent them directly to the upper level of the wizard tower.

This kind of teleportation device is found in almost every wizard tower. It is the staircase for wizards. It is a bit cumbersome to make, but it is by no means difficult.

If this kind of teleportation device can be popularized on the mainland, wouldn't it greatly shorten the distance of the journey?

This is a bug-level vehicle.

If a teleportation device could be built in every city, he wouldn't need to travel long distances in a carriage.

Benlik's wizard tower is like a taxidermy exhibition hall, there are specimens of animals or monsters everywhere, Xie Yi passed by a crocodile with its mouth wide open, pushed open the door inlaid with the head of the fog demon, and said to Ya before stepping in. Gebu ordered: "You stay here now, you can review your homework, but don't wander around."

Jacob nodded in response, took out the book and began to read.

Inside is another teleportation device, this teleportation device can directly teleport Shay to the topmost floor of the wizard tower, which is the floor where Benlik lived.

He found Benlik quickly.

Benlik was lying weakly on the experimental table, his face was as pale as a piece of paper, and the back of his hands were bruised. He was wearing a hat made of the head of a harpy. At first glance, he thought he had grown two heads.

"You're here."

Benlik said weakly, his body was shaking indistinctly, and he was enduring great pain.

"What do you think of my hat?"

Benrik was in high spirits, despite his low spirits: "It's fascinating, isn't it?"

Xie Yi: "...Uh, yes."

"I know you're going to use my wizard tower to start the wizard gathering, so I prepared a lot of hats."

Benlik chanted a series of spells, and there was a bang on the walls of the laboratory, and then a room was slowly revealed, full of hats made of animal or monster heads.

Benlik asked Xie Yi to choose the one he likes to wear, and it was his gift to Xie Yi.

"I'm going to give a hat to all the wizards who come to the wizarding meeting." Benlik announced.

This request was innocuous, Xie Yi looked around, he was dizzy with all kinds of hats, he chose a snow rabbit Teng monster hat to wear, the white made him feel a little friendly.

"This hat suits you so well," Benlick said.

His lips twitched a bit, and then he said, "Okay, I'm ready. The tools are right there, and you can use whatever comes your way."

Ben Rick pursed his lips, and Xie Yi looked in the direction he indicated, a row of knives were neatly placed on the stone platform.

"I'm ready," repeated Benlik. "It's kind of embarrassing, isn't it, I just want to shudder at the thought of my belly being cut open."

"Go and choose the knife." Benlik said, "I have studied it. If you don't dissect it, you can't extract the toxin and study it."

"I want you to inherit my hat." He began to talk about his hat again: "It's better to change it every day, because I like them all the same, and I don't want you to neglect one of them." .”

Benlik talked endlessly about hats, which was his unique way of suppressing fear.

Xie Yi: "...How can you dissect it as soon as you come up?"

"Let me check first," he said.

"Okay." Benlik agreed: "It's okay to check first."

"I hope you can research this toxin before I die." He reiterated his wish: "I really want to know what kind of poison this is."

"Would you mind lending me your research?" Xie Yi asked, "Maybe it can save a little detour time."

"Look, it's all on the table."

The experimental summary written by Benlik is very detailed.

Since he didn't know exactly what way he was poisoned, and the wound on his body showed no sign of poisoning, so he used many methods to check himself.

It was recorded on the parchment that he used three methods to study himself. The first was bloodletting, trying to find toxin residues in the blood, and then started the research. However, there was no toxin in the blood, so the idea was wrong and failed.

The second is to induce vomiting and then study the vomitus, but this has not progressed at all and failed.

The third is to study his own flesh and blood. Benlik cut out a small piece of flesh near the wound and studied it, but still found nothing and failed.

"I guess the toxin should be in my internal organs."

Benlik said: "The organs must be removed for sectioning and research, otherwise the toxins will not be found, and the research will be out of the question."

"I'm ready, you come", don't forget to cast a paralyzing spell and a binding spell on me first, otherwise I may struggle and affect your research. "

For the first time, Xie Yi felt a little speechless, and after a long time, he finally squeezed out a dry sentence: "You are so cooperative."

"Of course." Benlik said: "For the sake of knowledge, this is what it should be, but it's a pity that ordinary people don't understand this truth at all. Whenever I use them for experiments, they shout, even if I promise to use the research results It’s unbearable for them to shout when knowledge is shared with them.”

Xie Yi couldn't blame Benlik, but he was unwilling to support his point of view against his will, saying that to be a human being is to know how to dedicate oneself to knowledge.

He said lightly: "I have a method, you can study this toxin without dissecting it."

Benlik's eyes lit up, and Xie Yi could tell that he was very curious, but in the end Benlik still didn't speak.

He is very sensible and knows that he cannot inquire about the knowledge of other wizards at will.

Xie Yi recited a spell, and then another Benlik appeared in mid-air.

Benlik's eyes widened in disbelief.

Xie Yi waved, and Benlik in mid-air floated in front of him.

He said: "I'm going to start." Then he cut open the body of "Ben Lik".

After cutting it open, Xie Yi was startled.

Benlik's stomach is full of dense green shoots, which look young and lovely, verdant, but they are rooted on Benlik's flesh and blood.

Is it really poisonous?

Is there such a wicked poison in the world?

In view of the unscientific world at this time, Xie Yi did not jump to conclusions.

Although no similar poison was recorded in all the books he had read.

"I knew it was a very magical poison!"

Benlik said excitedly: "Can you let me take a closer look?"

Xie Yi had no objection, he moved the replica Benlik in front of Benlik and asked him to observe carefully.

Benlik stretched out his hand to pick up a young sprout, and pulled it out vigorously, even if the person under his hand was a copy of his body, he would not show mercy.

The green shoots were deeply rooted in Benlik's internal organs, in the flesh and blood, and the result of Benlik's insistence on pulling them out was that the rooted organs were also bloody.

"Quick, study it!"

Benlik pulled out two plants, handed one to Xie Yi, and stared at the other one with fascination.

"I want to make a hat like this." After watching for a while, Benlik suddenly said: "It makes sense."

Xie Yi: "..."

Forget it, just be happy.

He put all his heart and soul into the research, anyway, the replica didn't need too much protection, Xie Yi carefully cut open the internal organs with a sharp knife, and gently took out a bud with its roots.

Xie Yi studied for three full days before he found a way to restrain this "plant".

This kind of "plant" - barely called a plant - is very light-resistant, as long as there is light on them, they will begin to wither slowly.

Under the light, they will start to "reverse growth", and eventually shrink into tiny particles invisible to the naked eye, returning to the "seed" state.

However, if the surrounding environment returns to a dark state afterwards, they will start growing again.

As for how to pull out these "seeds" that have been reduced to tiny particles without falling to the ground, Xie Yi has not yet found a way.

But now, it's good to be able to suppress it, at least Benlik won't die so quickly.

After confirming that the method was effective, Xie Yi cut open Benlik's stomach and let him be exposed to light for three hours.

After all the sprouts in Benlik's stomach retracted to the seed state, Xie Yi sewed his belly up with catgut, and then poured a bottle of healing potion on the wound.

The effect of the healing potion was still very good, and Benlik recovered to a healthy state almost instantly.

"I feel pretty good right now," he said to Shay.

Although he was prepared to lay down his life in the pursuit of knowledge, it would be better not to die than to die.

Benlik never thought that Xie Yi would take his life.

He was puzzled by this.

As long as he died, according to their oath, his wizard tower would become Xie Yi's property.

A wizard tower means rich and unknown knowledge. If he were Xie Yi, he would definitely try to kill himself and obtain this knowledge.

So why didn't Xie Yi do this?

Has knowledge not fascinated him?

Benlik thought so, so he asked this question. He was very straightforward, and he almost questioned whether Xie Yi had a problem with his mind.

Facing Benlik's question, Xie Yi said casually: "If it was me a year ago, I would definitely do what you said."

He tried to focus his gaze on Benlik's face instead of his hat, which was the first thing Benlik did after he recovered, and now he has a bunch of tentacles on his head, which is very eye-catching. .

"But now, I've discovered one thing, so I realize I can't do that."

Xie Yi yawned: "I'm also going to bring this up at the Wizards Gathering. The Wizards Gathering will start three days later, and I will explain it in detail at that time."

Before leaving Benlik's laboratory, he took a hat from the hat secret room and prepared to bring it to Jacob.

As a...uh...souvenir?Souvenirs?

"Is that downstairs your student?"

Benlik asked him: "His talent is very average, I can't figure out why you want to accept him."

"It's half a student." Xie Yi straightened the hat on his head, "I just accepted it if it was pleasing to the eye, there is no reason."

Benlik's hat is not an ordinary hat, it will change according to the mood of the wearer.

For example, he is very excited now, and the tentacles he is wearing are waving tentacles, and the scene is very sanguine.

Xie Yi has been researching for a long time. At this moment, he is physically and mentally exhausted, feeling that his body has been hollowed out, and the two rabbit ears of the snow rabbit hat on his head drooped down.

Like a lost bunny.

But it's just like that, as long as the tentacle waving from Benlik's hat reaches the range of Xie Yi's hat, the head of the snow rabbit on Xie Yi's hat will open its mouth and bite off that tentacle.

And can chew, seem to eat with relish.

After a few tentacles were eaten, Benlik immediately kept a distance from Xie Yi, lest his tentacles would continue to be poisoned.

Xie Yi: "Why do you want to make this kind of hat?"

Benlik was full of enthusiasm: "I was a hat apprentice before I became a wizard. At that time, I was always beaten by my master. He also scolded me and said that I would never be able to make a good hat. Now, I have proved with my strength that I can. must be the best hat in the world."

Xie Yi agreed commercially and perfunctorily: "...Yes, I think so too."
