Chapter 308 The Civil War in Sword Castle

The door of the dilapidated residential house was suddenly kicked open, and El staggered into the room, fell to the ground in embarrassment, and even fell out with the girl in his arms.Returning his hand and carefully closing the door, El crawled to Tiana's side with both hands and feet, and asked eagerly, "How do you feel? Can you still hold on?"

Although it was also poisoned, El's body had already been hardened in the flames of war, and such a heaven-defying recovery ability like rapid regeneration did not belong to the racial talent of human beings at all.Even so, he now feels his limbs are weak, his whole body is weak, and he has all the abilities in his body, but he can't even pull the dragon tooth bow behind him.

And Tiana, as a spellcaster, even if she stepped into the Silver Secret Realm, her physical fitness would still be difficult to compare with warriors of the same rank.After only escaping from the castle for such a short time, the girl's face was already covered with a layer of cold sweat, and she completely lost her ability to move.

"I'm fine...it doesn't affect the magic power..." Tiana opened her eyes slightly, whispered with her lips squirming.She held her breath and tried hard to lift her right hand, but after trying several times, she finally had to give up.

"When did we get poisoned?" Seeing that Tiana's sanity was not affected, El was temporarily relieved, but after he calmed down a little, he immediately recalled all the strange things at that time.Not half an hour had passed between Diana's departure from the Castle of Swords to meet the seers of the Masonry Brotherhood, and their sudden declaration as criminals.

For a powerhouse like Miss Juggernaut, many things can be accomplished in this time.But for mortals, this time at most allows them to go around the castle twice to exercise.If you want to arrange a conspiracy of poisoning and framing in such a short period of time, it is tantamount to fantasy.A plan like this must have a preparation time in advance, but the problem is that from last night to half an hour ago, they were still distinguished guests treated with courtesy by the current owner of Sword Castle. So impatient to kill him secretly?
"This is not an ordinary poison... It is impossible to prepare it for us in advance..." Tiana shook her head, moved her fingers, frowned and said, "Maybe even if we didn't come today... something will happen to Sword Castle .”

"You mean someone wants to rebel?" El curled his lips and sneered, "What are they rebelling with? Do they rely on poison?"

The physical fitness of the strong who can step into the Silver Secret Realm has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with ordinary people. Of course, it can also be said that only those with strong survivability have the opportunity to stand out from the cruel environment and find the truth between life and death. own path.Those without real skills, such as the original owner of the weapon in Pallanti's hands, died in the wild in a daze, and their bodies were eaten by wild beasts.And like Xi Ya, a little girl with mixed blood of Earthwalkers, although there is still a long way to go before stepping into the Silver Secret Realm, everyone knows that she has a bright future.

Poisons that can have an effect on the bodies of strong silver ranks must be formulated with extremely rare medicines. The first element is to be sufficiently concealed, otherwise, with the keen perception of those strong people, they will be killed as soon as they eat it. Perceived a problem.And from another point of view, no matter which powerhouse the silver-ranked powerhouse is an indispensable and important person, the poison specially aimed at them must be extremely scarce and precious.

This is like a traveler who came to a strange town for a night and woke up the next morning to find the mayor's two daughters sleeping on his bed with happy smiles on his face.Excluding the shock and inexplicable psychological activities, I am afraid that there is only one thought left in the traveler's mind-fuck, did the girl enter the wrong room?

No idiot would be foolish enough to spend a lot of money to get this kind of poison just to entrap two innocent passers-by, so who is the real target of these poisons?This is another unsolvable question, because until now, apart from Miss Diana and the middle-aged nobleman who is serious and nonsense, El and Tiana don't know any other famous people in Sword Castle.

However, this problem did not bother the two of them for too long. They had just recovered from hiding in the house when they heard a loud noise of a building collapsing from outside.El looked out through the crack of the door, and saw a huge cloud of smoke rising from a nearby residential building, and a distraught figure jumped out from the ruins of the building, holding the long sword behind his back and angering in another direction The ground yelled: "Hibert! You shameless running dog! What kind of benefits did Hua Lain promise you, so that you can betray the Sword of the North Wind, which you swore to protect with your life?"

"This is not betrayal, Simaco, what Master Hua Lain and I have done is the right thing." Another young blond swordsman appeared from the roof, holding the long sword in the same posture, expressionlessly Said: "It's a pity that some small accidents happened, but I think that even if there is no poison, I can handle you with my real strength."

"Are you dreaming? So far, the outcome between us is 120-76-[-]. It's fine if it's Hua Lain, Hibbert, just because you dare to speak nonsense in front of me?" Standing in the ruins The swordsman Simako seemed to have suffered some injuries, but his voice was still full of spirit.

The Sword Castle Beifeng family, which has the inheritance of the sword master, has nothing to offer in terms of conventional troops, but the number of strong people who have grown up due to the practice of swordsmanship is exceptionally large.Before Diana appeared, there were seven silver-ranked swordsmen officially recognized by Sword Castle.And the two in front of them were obviously the two of the seven, and they honestly admitted the problem of the poison and gave the eavesdropper a satisfactory answer.

"It's so naive, Simako, if what you're referring to is the children's house-to-house competitions in the training ground, then I have to tell you a cruel reality—I've never used my full strength." The swordsman named Hibbert sneered and held the long sword in front of him, and the blade began to emit a faint light.

"Idiot, you also said that it's a child's play, do you think I have no reservations?" Sima Ke bent down, put on the same hand gesture, stared into Hibbert's eyes, and yelled : "Come on, rookie! Let me see what qualifications you have to be proud in front of me!"

The next moment, the sword lights as bright as the sun collided in mid-air. The dazzling light made it impossible to look directly at it, and only the sound of raindrops of weapons hitting could be heard in the light.There were occasional splashes of blood, but the fighting spirit of both sides was strong, and they had no intention of giving in at all.On the street where they fought, the road paved with white stones excavated from the sword tomb was instantly shattered, and the surrounding dwellings began to collapse under the aftermath of the sword light.

"I can't see anything... Could it be that the legendary inheritance of the Sword Master of the North Wind is like this?" El rubbed his eyes, turned around and smiled at Tiana: "I think they also like to shine, and Don't you have any intimate relationship with the magicians in Sky City?"

"When did I shine?" The girl glared at El's teasing. She moved her body, moved her arms with difficulty, took out a small bag that El was particularly familiar with, and rummaged in it for a long time. He took out a scorched black branch and put it in his mouth, frowning and chewing.

"What is that? Can it detoxify?" El's eyes lit up when he saw Tiana's movements.He wasn't interested in the mysterious space storage pocket in the girl's hand, because Laurana also sewed two on her cuffs, which are magic items that can only be used by spellcasters, and it is basically impossible for him, a semi-literate person. .However, he remembered that the magician girl herself can also prepare potions. When they met for the first time, the girl was able to skillfully concoct the potion for curing the plague. Now it must not be difficult to get rid of the toxins in his body .

"This is the hyoid bone of the gray anteater. It can't be detoxified, but it can temporarily increase my resistance to poison." Tiana put the thing in her mouth and bit it, her face was full of frustration: " This is a poison specially formulated to deal with fighters like those outside. It is extracted from the shell of the ghost fire lobster produced in the lake of the dead. The symptoms of poisoning will cause muscle dissolution. I know how to prepare the antidote, but I don't have the materials at hand now .”

"It seems that the effect is not very obvious." El looked at the lively swordsman outside, and tensed his arms again. There was indeed a sour feeling of weakness. The effect of muscle dissolution is for a warrior. It was indeed terrifying, but El was able to use the life rune to quickly regenerate his body, so the symptoms of poisoning were less obvious, otherwise he would not have been able to escape all the way here with Tiana in his arms.As for Tiana, mental power and magic power are far more important than physical power to a spellcaster.

"We were not poisoned deeply. It may be that the amount of poison they prepared in advance was not enough, so the share they gave us was only one-third at most." Tiana picked in her pocket for a long time, and said dejectedly: "No We can only find a chance to go back to the camp, there should be a reserve of herbs in Laurana."

"That's not necessarily the case." El's heart moved, and he said to Tiana: "You still remember that Diana said that she usually uses a lot of herbs to repair her body damage. This shows that there should be a lot of reserves in the castle." .Even if there is no suitable herbal medicine, at least it can relieve the emergency, right?"

"Good idea, but how do we go back?" Tiana raised her eyebrows and asked, the two of them were now in a semi-disabled state, and the castle of the North Wind Family obviously no longer welcomed the two of them.

"Maybe..." El was biting his teeth and was about to come up with a solid idea, but suddenly his expression changed, and he rushed over to block Tiana under him.And the door behind him collapsed, and a figure covered in blood rolled in.

　The toothpaste is working hard, but the condition is not good. Could it be that this is the legendary million-word bottleneck period?No way... I just started to get to the point!
