Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 474: Calculation

In the morning light, Jordak opened his eyes. Looking at this bedroom in the City Lord's Mansion, no one was more glad than him that he could wake up here, instead of seeing the dark cellar of the bar where a few fat rats would occasionally emerge. After staying in the dark cellar of the bar for two days, Jordak didn't expect that he would be able to come back, or that he would come back completely.

Originally, he had already prepared for the worst, which was to cut those people into pieces and send them back. However, the gods did not seem to have abandoned him. No, to be exact, it should be that the Lord who had surrendered did not abandon him. Allen had saved him, but this was enough to make him follow Allen with all his heart, as long as that person remained strong forever.

Now that he recalled his conversation with Elder Dawnan last night, Jordak was deeply afraid of the power that Alan had displayed. Although he didn't know what had happened on the ground last night, Elder Daonan had told him everything in detail. From scouting and locating him. After arranging for a free drink, the nearby residents were moved away, and then the elite warriors were allowed to sneak into the bar. In the end, they lifted him up in one fell swoop and shocked the leader of the other party, killing a Level 15 expert. The capture of the woman who tricked him and the transfer of a dwarf who was skilled in pharmaceuticals to Allen showed Allen's extraordinary strength and skill.

It was hard for Jordak to imagine if he hadn't chosen to bow to Allenchen. When this force arrived at the gates, how would he deal with it? At that time, defeating the city was the lightest outcome, but now it was another matter. He feels wise to find himself a big enough backer, and the backer will get bigger and bigger.

Alan walked out of the dungeon with his hands behind his back while Geordak was working on his grand blueprint. Behind him was the potion master. Shorty was only the nickname of a dwarf. His name was Baggins. This fellow was still a hybrid of a mutant and a human, and he was born with a disability. Moreover, because of his background, he was despised and underestimated by others, and even attracted several pursuits from radicals because of his status.

The child Ba Jinshi was finally adopted by a wandering alchemist. After the alchemist taught him all the knowledge of pharmacology, Ba Jinshi threw himself into the undertaking of darkness. After all, with his background and appearance, he would never be able to find a job in the sun. Baggins was also keen on this path. His childhood experiences had completely distorted his heart, and he gradually developed a morbid hobby. Every time he saw his target groan in pain under the medicine he had prescribed, he felt an indescribable pleasure.

According to Baggins, he would prescribe a lot of drugs. From life-threatening first-aid drugs to chronic drugs that can torture people for decades; Or an anesthetic strong enough to knock a mad elephant unconscious, and then an aphrodisiac strong enough to instantly turn a virgin into a slut; There were as many as a hundred of them. Baggins said solemnly to Ellen when he was selling himself, "If Master wants, I can prescribe a aphrodisiac. It's enough to keep you from getting tired of the Night Ten Girls without any side effects."

Therefore, this Potion Master was indeed a capable person, apart from his extremely distorted mentality.

Allen lacked someone as proficient in pharmacology as Baggins, so he asked Baggins to join him. Although this person's mentality and hobbies were all bad, the world was alternating between light and darkness. There were always some things that couldn't be dealt with on the stage that needed someone like Baggins to deal with. As for Baggins himself, he didn't seem to have the slightest psychological burden of switching to Allen, and he even called out one owner at a time.

They had just left the dungeon where Charlie was being held. Baggins gave her a medicine that would slowly settle into Charlie's body and dissolve into her blood. This medicine would naturally give off a strange fragrance in her body within ten days. This strange fragrance was a clever aphrodisiac. A man who smelled this strange fragrance would turn from a gentleman into a wild beast.

This aphrodisiac actually had another effect. It was a "gift" to Daniel.

Afterwards, Baggins gave her another kind of chronic poison that wouldn't break out for half a month. However, once the time limit was exceeded, it would destroy Charlie's nerves inch by inch, causing her to die from being bitten by thousands of ants. In order to let Charlie understand the drug, Baggins had specially prepared another accelerated version of the poison that had a very small amount of ingredients. After ten minutes of pain, Charlie agreed to do something for Alan.

On this evening, a carriage left Dawn Castle. The carriage carried Charlie away secretly. If nothing unexpected happened, the carriage would arrive at Unicorn Castle in two days. At that time, it was also the time when Alan set off for the Oru Territory.

That night, in a restaurant in Dawn Castle, Alan invited Lucy to dinner. The restaurant, known as Greenfield, has been operating for more than 30 years and is known for its delicious meals, elegant dining space and first-class service. Lu Ye had also been serving the upper-class people in the city. Could it be that the nobles in the city had come here?

Just before dusk disappeared, a carriage pulled by two luxurious horses arrived outside the dining hall. When the waiter outside saw the two horses, his eyes lit up. He looked at Alan, who got off the carriage first, and immediately greeted him. "Thank you, Lord Alan, for coming. Our green field is really glorious," he said respectfully.

Alan smiled and said, "I asked Sir Geordak to book a seat."

"Yes, Your Excellency informed us earlier, so we don't entertain any other guests tonight. Our restaurant will serve you wholeheartedly tonight, so as to leave behind beautiful and romantic memories for Your Excellency and your lover."

"Thank you." Alan turned around and pulled Lucy out of the car.

At this moment, a restaurant attendant led the two of them in and walked past the entrance to the dining hall. It was obvious that the hall had been carefully arranged, and all the extra tables and chairs had been moved away, leaving behind only an exquisite dining table in the middle, on which a gorgeous candlestick had already been set up. The waiter next to him immediately lit the candles when he saw the host arrive.

Alan sat down after seeing Lucy to her seat. A middle-aged man respectfully said, "It's an honor to have such a distinguished guest like Lord Allen tonight. I believe this will be the most honorable evening since the establishment of our Green Wild Restaurant. We have arranged everything for Lord Allen. Please enjoy it, Lord and beautiful young miss."

After saying that, the man bowed and retreated with a smile. A moment later, an elegant piece of music sounded from somewhere. Alan swept his eyes and found no one to play it. Even the restaurant had very few attendants, giving Alan and Lucy plenty of private space.

Lucy smiled and said, "Looks like our Lord Allen has made some careful preparations."

"That's too much of a compliment. Actually, I didn't expect it to be so extravagant. I was just going to have a meal with you and have a chat. This Geordak is quite knowledgeable." Alan laughed.

"If I don't curry favor with you now, how long will I have to wait?"

'"He was wrong. He didn't know that the one most worthy of currying favor with was His Highness Lucy. Fortunately, I am the only one who knows this secret, so please accept my sincere currying favor tonight."

Lucy rolled her eyes and smiled, "Is there anyone who speaks like that?"

At this time, the waiter served an appetizer. After filling their glasses, Allen raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's wish us success in the upcoming operation."

Lucy smiled as she gently touched his glass and said, "You're all set, even Daniel. A little bauhinia is naturally within your grasp."

"Even so, we can't let down our guard."

"Yes, yes."

The two took a sip. Lucy put down her glass and looked at Alan. "You've changed a lot. You know how to lay the groundwork for the war and do everything you can to suppress the enemy. You were a brat in the death arena."

"Isn't it because of my unbridled actions that you like this kid?" Alan reached out and gently placed his hand on the back of Lucy's, "I have indeed changed, for war is not my own business, but the honor and dishonor of my followers. Of course, I can't keep rushing about."

"I see. You're more attentive than ever. Then why didn't our Lord Allen ask Miss Adele out as well?" Lucy said deliberately.

"I like Adele," said Allen seriously, "but not the way men and women do. And Adele had been pestering me just because she wanted me to change her situation. After my last trip back to Earth, I've made my stand clear. If she needs me, I'll give her my full support. With this promise, she naturally doesn't have to pursue the person or thing she likes as she did in the past. "

"Right now, we're more like partners."

Lucy pursed her lips and stopped talking about it. She looked at Ellen and thought to herself, "Do you know if Adele is willing to pursue someone other than you?"

The two of them changed the topic and began to talk about their days on the Underworld Planet. On the other hand, the restaurant continued to serve delicate meals, accompanied by beautiful music. This evening, the two of them had a very pleasant evening.

Two days later, in the morning, a carriage drove into Unicorn Castle. When Charlie was helped into Daniel's study by the soldiers, the viscount's expression darkened. "What happened? You failed?"

"It's Ceglis!" Charlie bit her lips and said, "We weren't going to lose, but that bastard saw that we couldn't do anything and immediately abandoned us to escape. Red Beard was killed on the spot, and Shorty went to Lord Alan Daniel. Only I escaped."
