Riding and Slashing

Chapter 50 Reliable Alice
Li Ang was a little dizzy and his feet were weak, but he still covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and went over to untie the horse.

As soon as Alice was let go, she trotted all the way to the nearby grassland, lowering the horse's head and sniffing on the grass.

Then, the beautiful little mare seemed to have found something and began to gnaw the grass on the ground.

As he gnawed, he snorted "puchipuchi".

Li Ang also ran over, pulled some unknown grass from Alice's mouth, stuffed it into his mouth and began to chew vigorously - the grass that the horse would look for must be useful!

I don't know what that grass is, the juice is so bitter that Li Ang rolled his eyes, and the smell made him cough desperately.

But the effect is very obvious - just after coughing, the head is not dizzy immediately!

Li Ang hugged Alice's neck and kissed her hard, then picked up two handfuls of grass and ran back to Anson's side.

Anson is now covering his face with clothes, rolling Klose's eyelids.

"Anson, how are they? This grass seems to be able to detoxify."

"They just seem to have just passed out... Ah, this is Artemisia argentina! So that's it... My lord, that's not some dragon's tears!"

Taking the grass from Li Ang's hand, Anson stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it up, his face was also flushed with tears.

After chewing all the grass foam, he stuffed the grass foam into the nostrils of Klose and others.

It didn't take long for everyone to wake up, and each of them sat by the fire with gritted teeth, and each held a piece of meat to roast.

"What the hell happened to us just now?"

Klose asked in a low voice, he felt a little ashamed, and fainted so unclearly, it was a shame for soldiers.Now only food can soothe his inner pain.

"You have been stunned—or fell asleep, that stone is not Dragon's Tears, it should be the Snake Heart Stone!"

Anson replied casually.

"What is the Snake Heart Stone?"

Li Ang asked while playing with the small knife left by Sadilan.

The small knife is thin and sharp, with an inner arc. The blade is less than one centimeter wide and about the length of the index finger. It can be easily hidden in most places on the body.

Li Ang is now very interested in the stone that can stun people, and in his opinion, it is indeed a treasure.

"This is also the first time I have seen the real thing. I read it in an old medical book in the seminary before. The snake heart stone is a rare spar. It is not actually a poison, but as long as it is close to it, it will make people dizzy and drowsy. ——Of course, if no one cares about it, it is possible to fall into a dead body directly. Since it has the same shape as a snake's heart, it was named the snake heart stone in that book."

Anson drew a shape with his fingers and explained.

"Such a terrifying thing, how could it not be poison?"

Klose had lingering fears. He felt that something that made him fall asleep for no apparent reason was terrible.

"Because this kind of drowsiness is easy to get rid of. Artemisia arvensis is a very common herb with a strong taste, and the pungent smell can wake people up quickly. Moreover, the book said that there was once a continent where doctors could use snake heart stone Put the patient into a coma...then cut off the diseased limb or viscera with a knife in the coma, and replace it with a good organ, so that the seriously ill patient can be cured..."

Anson gesticulated on Klose and patiently explained.

Klose shuddered: "Nonsense! This is impossible... how can you still live if you cut off the internal organs!"

Anson shrugged: "I also read it in a book... If it is true, it will be good news for everyone! This even means that any injury may be cured!"

Klose shook his head like a pendulum: "No, no, no...it's impossible!"

The big man is used to cutting other people's bodies into pieces, and the enemy's parts are flying all over the place, but it is still hard for him to imagine that human internal organs can be replaced!
Klose even felt that the barbecue on the fire was not fragrant.

Li Ang nodded. Only he can understand Ansen's dedication to saving lives and healing the wounded. It is because of people like Ansen that human technology will develop step by step.

"Then, where can I get this snake heart stone?"

The lord propped his chin, looked at the water bag containing the snake heart stone and asked.

"Although it's rare, it seems that people often find it. Someone in my hometown, Ashcomman, has found it, and the Bacchus Empire has found even more. It's just..."

Anson frowned and pondered for a while.

"how?"

"My lord, they were all found on the altar of the Snake Cult..."

Li Ang raised his eyebrows: "I heard that people who worship the Snake Sect will confuse people and then trick them into joining the religion?"

An Sen nodded and agreed with Li Ang's judgment: "It is very likely that the Snake Cult uses the Snake Heart Stone to stun people, and then tricks them into becoming believers. The Bacchus Empire has been encircled and suppressed many times, and has obtained many Snake Heart Stones, but there is no With one exception, this thing will gradually disappear by itself within a few days..."

disappear?

Li Ang picked up the leather water bag and shook it. He understood why Li Sadilan put the snake heart stone in the water bag.

This kind of thing is probably a highly volatile mineral, and what caused people to coma should be the inhalation of the volatile gas.

In this era, it is actually difficult to find an effective way to preserve such highly volatile things.Putting it in water is already the most suitable storage method.

Li Ang carefully put away the water bag, and to make sure it was safe, he wrapped it with tent cloth a few more layers, and planned to let Leslie store it in a sealed clay pot. He thought it would be very useful.

"My lord... My heavy armor was also pierced by an arrow! Who do you think sent this assassin? This arrow is too powerful!"

Klose took out his armor from the tent and pointed to the small hole pierced at the thickest part of the chest clip.

"I'm also thinking about who it is. It's so honorable to be able to use a sharp archer like Lisa Dilan..."

Li Ang also always felt strange. At first, he thought that the Duke of Alma or Forscher spent money to buy killers to buy Lisa Dilan, but after thinking about it, it was not the case.

Since Lisa Dilan would shoot the wrong person, it obviously means that Lisa Dilan did not follow the convoy all the time.

After chasing him to the woods in the afternoon, Lisa Dilan let out a 'huh' when he saw his face, and at night he came and shot through the armor in his tent—it meant that his employer recognized him and was very appreciative of Lisa Dilan. Has described his own appearance in detail, and may have even mentioned his golden-maned horse.

However, Lisa Dilan did not follow the convoy, but was able to find him within a day, which meant that Lisa Dilan's employer should know his approximate location.

After all, I just came out of the border camp, and I have been marching and moving all day.

The Red Brotherhood sure didn't know where they were.

Grand Duke Alma, who just captured Changhe Town, probably doesn't know where he is now.

The only one who can possibly know their own course is the Horn Call Rangers.

It was Ralph's suggestion to himself to let himself go to the uninhabited village after being attacked by Jatu.

But the problem is, Ralph has no reason to assassinate himself. If he really wants to kill himself, he can just send people to swarm him in the camp-he was leading hundreds of rangers.

What's going on?
Li Ang remembered that weird female voice again.

Same words twice.

"...be careful what's behind you, child..."

Who is this reminding myself?

Does the phrase refer to an arrow shot from behind, or something else?
When I was in Sarleon City, after I saw the statue of Eunomia, the goddess of order, I met heretics and fallen people...

But now, after hearing that voice, he met a top-level killer like Lisa Dilan...

No way……

Li Ang feels that life is so difficult, why are so many unknown enemies trying to kill me?

"Madan, we have to quickly set up a garrison to do a good job of defense, and we have to catch the dangerous person Lisa Dilan!"

There is one more sentence that the lord did not say - we have to find a suitable person to be responsible for defending against backstabs!
Li Ang was not in the mood to eat barbecue anymore, so he picked up the sword that Sadilan had left behind, and sat next to Alice, with his back against the horse stake.

Only Alice is the most reliable, always helping, and has never been a moth.

The little mare arched Li Ang's back with her head, and twitched her tail, as if she was not satisfied that the lord took her place.

But Li Ang didn't plan to leave, he felt safer beside Alice.

Fortunately, horses sleep standing up and can sleep anywhere.

Alice has a good temper. Seeing that Li Ang didn't leave, she lightly rubbed her head against Li Ang's face, took a step back, and allowed the lord to occupy her position.
