Master Sage is still working hard on lesson preparation today

"Ah, I won't be leaving for a while." Mia's sense of uneasiness has become more and more intense recently.

I always feel that something big will happen to Lord recently.But it is impossible to know the situation in the city in detail.However, with Fennelle around, it should be fine, right?

I wonder if Anna has gone back?

After politely rejecting the village chief's idea that Mia stay at his house for dinner, Mia and Seli walked on the country road again.

"Well, Miss Mia, although the village chief asked you this question just now, I still can't help but want to ask you..."

"When will I leave?" Of course Mia knew what Seri wanted to ask.

Recently, she is not only obsessed with alchemy, she sometimes goes to the streets with Seri.I also met many kind villagers.

In fact, if Mia is to be honest, she actually wants to stay here for a long time in the future.It's a pity that she has offended the Duke's people now, and sooner or later she will attract some villains.So, I dismissed that idea.

"Don't worry, I'll let you know when I'm leaving. Now, I'll stay here for a while." Mia smiled and answered Seri's question.

"Really? That's great!" Seri hugged Mia.After putting it down, he asked blushing again.

"Well, can I sleep with you tonight? I really want to have a sister who can sleep with me."

ah?Ten thousand question marks popped up in Mia's heart.Girl, are you really greedy for my body?In fact, Mia has long seen that after staying with Seri for a long time, she still likes to be with herself.But I thought, after all, if I live in someone else's house, it should be fine, right?

"Okay, okay." Mia still agreed with difficulty.

"Then it's settled!"

……

21. Undercurrent surging

Felins and the duke's men have all received the news of Phaidelius' death.However, no one can imagine who has the ability to kill him.

Because, most of the woods in the east of the city are traces of the new ability of Phaedrus—the Black Flame.And all he had left was a dry corpse, which seemed to have passed for a few days.

Surrounded by charcoal scorched by the fire, there are also some weird cut marks, not exactly like splitting with a sharp sword, but it does not rule out the use of some props or magic.

After all, Losf, who was with Phidelius, was an assassin, and some of the weapons he used could also cause such marks.

If you really think about it to the extreme...

A magician suspected that it was space magic that made such amazing cut marks. After all, several marks were about ten meters long.However, it cannot be ruled out that it was a strong man with a sword who directly cut open with sword energy.

Unfortunately, due to the passage of time, the fluctuations in the surrounding space have stabilized, and it is no longer possible to determine who was killed.

But Losf is the most suspicious. After all, he is not a person who keeps his promises, and he may betray at any time.His personality is just like his reputation, which makes people dare not fully trust him.

Moreover, when the Duke's people went to confront the Assassin's Guild, they also replied that there had been no news from Rossf for a long time.So at this time he is the most suspicious.

It is located in a secret clubhouse under Lord Black Market.

"At the critical moment, Phaedrus was actually killed! Our plan must not be changed!"

At this moment, Felins looked gloomyly at the people gathered behind him.They were all helpers sent by the Duke to prepare to capture Lord this time.

"How is that guy, Duan Du, preparing? All our plans depend on him. Taking Lorde, this is a step we must do! Otherwise, our future plans will have to be shelved!"

Just wait, those two women!You will pay the price sooner or later!And Princess Anna!

"Your Excellency Andu said that his research has reached the final stage. By that time, all the guards in the city will lose their combat effectiveness, and we have secretly released those who can control the mind in the villages around Lord according to his request. Potion."

"As long as you give an order, it will be a breeze to take down Lord!" The man in black behind said excitedly.

"I hope that's true, and I don't want my father to send you here just to watch a show!" Felins' current strength has completely entered the eighth level because of the sacred artifact last time!

Although he is already in his 20s at this time, compared to Mi Xiu and Anna, who are widely rumored in the human empire, his talent is indeed good.But it is still very ordinary. There is still a big gap between relying on a holy weapon to forcibly promote to the eighth rank and relying on oneself.

"Tell the people in the city to get ready, our plan is about to start! It will be the day after tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

……

At this time, Mia, who was still studying potions in the village, was still struggling with the question of why her realm couldn't go back.Little did they know that a storm was coming.

"Ah! Why? Is it really impossible to recover?" Mia was squatting on the ground with her head in her arms and fell into autism.

In the past few days, she has been trying to create new potions in an attempt to restore her realm.But she felt a barrier completely isolated her, so she could only stay as a seventh-level pharmacist.Although some of her medicines have even reached the level of eighth-level medicines, they are still seven-level.

"What is missing?" Mia was puzzled.

In fact, her former pharmacist promotion was a bit too smooth. The reason why she became an eighth-level pharmacist was partly because of her perception of magic power, which allowed her to grasp the surrounding environment when refining medicine. changes to adjust in time.

And now Mia has no ability to perceive magic power, so a barrier naturally appeared.

For ordinary people, level seven is already the pinnacle.If you want to continue to improve, you have to rely on continuous experience and accumulation to improve slowly.For a person like her who didn't start out as a pharmacist as her main occupation, this bottleneck naturally appeared.

After all, almost most of the young senior pharmacists are magicians or people with a strong sense of magic.

And there is only one pharmacist who is really just a pharmacist and has reached the ninth level in the human empire.

Or there are some methods, like An Du's way of doing something crooked.

Mia naturally would not consider this method.

And the reason why Mia is so impatient is because her sense of uneasiness in her heart has become stronger and stronger recently, and she even started to have a terrible nightmare.

She dreamed that countless people were controlled by drugs, and Lodri's guards were also poisoned and lost their combat effectiveness. Even the people in the village were not spared.And she can only watch people kill each other, and she is helpless.

And her potion is like a joke, it can't cure those poisoned people at all.

"No! You can't make this dream a reality!" Mia said harshly.

"What became a reality?" A voice interrupted Mia's thinking.

When she reacted, Mia realized that Seri had appeared behind her.

"Ah? Ah! I mean I can't make myself weaker a reality!" Mia quickly lied to herself.

"Ah? Are you still worried that you can't restore your original level? Didn't I tell you everything, you have to take it step by step."

At this time, Seri has comforted Mia very skillfully.

Oh, you don't understand.I always feel that something bad is going to happen recently.

Mia was in a bad mood at this time, not only was her state beyond recovery, but even her dreams began to feel strange.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Knowing that she couldn't help with medicine, Seri was also helpless, so she could only comfort Mia.

"Miss, I brought you the materials you asked for just now."

As soon as Feili arrived at the backyard of Seri's house, she saw Mia again with a distressed expression.Then he went up to comfort her.

Seeing that Mia didn't make a sound, she knew that she must have failed again.

After Fei Li put down some materials, she walked directly to Mia, and then picked her up.

"Huh? Fei Li, what do you want to do?" Mia kicked her legs slightly off the ground at this time.

"Since Miss has been thinking here and can't think of anything, why not go out and relax, maybe there will be a direction?"

Mia hadn't gone out for a while again.

Feili then said to Seri behind her.

"Miss Sally, I'll take the lady out for a walk first, and I may be back later tonight, so you don't have to wait for me and the lady."

"Ah? You... alright. I see." Seri had no choice but to agree.In fact, she also wanted to find Mia, but she forgot just now.

Afterwards, Fei Li took Mia slowly along the path of the village and walked into a quiet forest.

……

The two were one tall and one short, walking in tandem.

"Hey, what should I do? Could it be that I can't recover in the future?" Mia kicked a small stone and kicked it into the stream on the forest path.

"Miss, please don't worry about this anymore. It is probably because your body has not fully recovered that caused your current state. Afterwards, when your body's talent and blood are fully recovered, then the realm will naturally recover. "

Do I really have to go to the blood race?But it is estimated that my current identity will appear there, it will definitely cause a lot of commotion, right?

Even if Serenity didn't tell her something about her current body, Mia could still guess something.

Can't live here?Anyway, we are not short of money now.I don't have any purpose in life anyway.

If it was Mia in the past, she would definitely devote all her efforts to catch up with those powerful races for this country.But after going through so many things, her thoughts have changed, and she doesn't know what she is doing now.

I think so, but for now, let's talk about the major events that I feel may happen recently.

"Miss, look, there seems to be something wrong with the water!"

Fei Li, who has a keen sense, noticed that the stream that Mia kicked down just now had a strange smell in the stream water that fell into it.

"Ah? What's so strange? Isn't the water clear? It doesn't look any different from usual, does it?"

Even if there is, I can't see it now.Mia looked helpless.

"Then I'll bring up some of the water, and you can feel it carefully."

Fei Li guided part of the water flow to slowly condense in front of the two of them, and then Fei Li wanted to take some water in her hands.

However, the moment Fei Li touched the water, her expression changed.The water flow was out of Fei Li's control, and became slack again.

"Ah? What's the point?" Mia was confused.

"Do you think I didn't condense the water on purpose?" Fei Li looked at the water with a serious face.The moment she touched the water with her hand, she lost control of the magic power.How could this happen to my ninth level strength?

"The moment I touched the water just now, I felt that my magic power was suppressed inexplicably. I couldn't continue to control it."

"Ah?" After hearing Fei Li's words, Mia hurried to the stream, took a little with her hand, and smelled it.

"No, maybe it's because I don't have magic power? I can't feel it."

But Mia did not give up. This phenomenon coincided with the situation in her dream where all the defenders lost their combat effectiveness.

Could it be?Has anyone already made a move?

Mia's eyes became serious again.

"This water, let's take some back home. I have to study it carefully. According to what you said, it must have been drugged."

Fei Li continued to add. "It should be, but the effect of this medicine can only last for a while in front of a strong person of the same rank."

"Okay, I see. Take it home first, I'll try it with medicine."

Mia took out the reagent tubes she had prepared for making potions from the bracelet space, filled three tubes of water, and took Feili back.

After returning to the village, Mia realized that many people had gathered outside Seri's house.

"Huh? What are they doing?" Mia looked at the crowd, a little strange.

"Look! It's Miss Mia!" A villager spotted Mia and Feili.Then they all approached them.

"Miss, you must save our family!" Many villagers said so.

"Please wait a moment, you have been talking about your own things here, and my lady doesn't know what you are asking."

Finally, under the mediation of Fei Li, Mia finally knew what happened.Afterwards, Mia said that she would find a way to help them, and let everyone go back and wait for the news.

After returning to Seri's house, Seri told Mia and the two of them with a face of self-blame.

"Sorry, I wanted to tell you about this before, but I didn't tell you because you were in a bad state recently."

Seri looked at Mia apologetically.

"You don't need to say it, Seri. I already know the general situation. Some villagers don't know why they start to show symptoms of weakness and collapse, right?"

"Well, not only that, the old pharmacist in the village said that it seemed to be poisoned, and it became like this."

Combined with the narration of Seri and the villagers, Mia took out the water just collected from the river.Lost in thought.

In the end, she probably came to a result in her heart that she didn't want to believe.

People from the Duke's side have already started to act!Surely something big will happen soon!

According to the villagers, the symptoms actually appeared three days ago, which means that someone had poisoned the stream three days ago.

"Is it really going to come true?" Mia said to herself, her eyes were a little confused.

"Miss? Why do you always fall into this state of talking to yourself recently?" Fei Li shook Mia's eyes and pulled her back.

"Ah?" Mia came back to her senses, "Ah! It's okay, maybe I've been a little dazed recently, and I'm always thinking about how to restore my strength."

Afterwards, Mia asked Seri to go back to the house first, and discuss matters with Fei Li.

Mia told Fei Li about her latest dream, and combined with some descriptions from the villagers just now, it was obvious that someone had started to play Lord's idea.
