The rescued villainous lady wants to go home with me

But Lorraine was also relieved to hear that someone could help, and then said, "Is it from the Gretel family?"

"No." Xueni shook her head, as if she had thought of something, her face was a little embarrassed, "I know it, I will take you there later, you will know."

"So mysterious."

Lorraine also felt a little curious when Xueni said this.

"By the way." Zeth pointed to his cheek and asked, "Has this guy been sent back?"

Even if that kind of medicine can put Liraya in a state of suspended animation, it can't be too long without an antidote, or it will cause harm to the body at that time.

Lorraine also knew what Zeth was talking about. Even if Liraya did something that seemed stupid to everyone, he was still a nobleman, and his body could not be handled like others, at least he would be sent back to the Gretel's house.

Looking at Xueni, but she only shook her head in response to Lorraine.

When Xueni left Gretel's house, she really hadn't heard about it.

"To be on the safe side, I'd better go there," Zeth said.

It was impossible for Dace to check the place where the prisoners were held, but it was still possible to go to Gretel's house by virtue of Lorraine's name.

In this way, Lorraine and Xueni went to find the person who could solve the liquid in the three bottles, while Zeth went to Leggett's house to check the specific situation.

Driving in the streets at night, the carriage then lights up the road ahead, moving forward like a small boat in the sea.

"Miss Xueni, is this the place you are talking about?" The carriage stopped, and the coachman's inquiry came from outside.

Xue Ni looked outside, because at night, the whole truth seemed extremely quiet.

"It's like this."

After hearing Xueni's words, Lorraine pushed open the car door, and then took Xueni's hand down.

Lorraine froze when he saw the place he was standing in front of him.

Lorraine hasn't wandered around Wangduli very much, but this place is the only one he is familiar with.

Because this is the place that the envoy mentioned to me when I was investigating Lai before, an entrance to the Black Street.

Lorraine took the driver to give him the oil lamp, and then asked Xue Ni, "What are we doing here?"

Since the last incident, Lorraine has not been here for a while, and this is also the first time he has come here at night.

"That person is here." Xue Ni took Lorraine's hand and walked inside.

What surprised Lorraine was that Xueni probably didn't come here as often as she did, and she followed him secretly once.

But now Xueni looks very familiar, as if she has been here many times.

Under the guidance of Xue Ni, Lorraine felt that the path she was taking was not the one she had taken before, and even the direction was different.

If it weren't for the slightest hesitation in Xueni's steps, Lorraine would have doubted whether they had gotten lost in these alleys.

After walking for a while, Xue Ni finally stopped in front of a house with Lorraine.

"This is it." Xue Ni said.

Lorraine lifted the oil lamp and shone at the house in front of him. The whole house was dilapidated, and the windows next to it creaked and seemed to be crumbling.

Although the houses around here are very dilapidated, they don't seem to be like this, and they don't seem to be inhabited at all.

But Xueni didn't care, went forward and knocked on the door, and then stepped back to hold Lorraine's hand.

There was no immediate response from the door, but after a while, accompanied by the unpleasant sound of wooden boards being stepped on, there was a sound from inside.

"Who is it?"

A hoarse voice came from inside, and in this dark and damp place, there was a creepy feeling, making one wonder if something strange would come out of the door in the next second.

The door was pushed open, and an old man with a stooped figure walked out. With withered arms protruding from his clothes and slightly messy hair, Lorraine subconsciously thought of a witch in a fairy tale.

The old man looked up at Lorraine and Xueni in front of him, squinted his eyes for a while, and then recognized Xueni, "So it's you, come in."

After finishing speaking, the old man turned around and walked towards the house on his own.

Lorraine looked into the dark room, even here, he still didn't know what was going on.

After the two walked in, a candle was lit in the corner of the room, slightly illuminating the room.

With the help of the light, Lorraine discovered that there were all kinds of strange plants, some dead animals, and even strange-shaped bones in some places.

Everything is eerie.

How did Xue Ni know her?This doubt became more and more intense in Lorraine's heart.

"Miss, why did you come to me this time? Did you run out of medicine last time?" The old man looked at Lorraine and Xueni while talking, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, "I don't think it's useless. .”

"Medicine?" Lorraine thought of something and looked at Xueni.

Xueni also felt Lorraine's gaze, and turned her head slightly, as if avoiding Lorraine's gaze. This was the first time Lorraine saw Xueni like this.

"She's not talking about the one you forced on me last time, is she?"

"..."

Seeing that Xueni didn't speak, Lorraine also realized why Xueni was inexplicably embarrassed when she told herself that someone could know the contents of the three bottles.

After Xueni forcefully forced himself to take that strange medicine, Lorraine wondered where Xueni found such a dangerous thing.

But because things happened one after another in the recent period, and Xue Ni's condition was not very good, so Lorraine forgot.

But now after hearing what the old man in front of him said, Lorraine also remembered this.

Chapter 30

different testing methods

Xue Ni pretended to be silent and did not answer Lorraine's question.

But in Lorraine's eyes, she has already written all the words on her face in this way.

"You guy." In the end, Lorraine could only sigh helplessly.

Lorraine really didn't expect Xueni to do this. According to Lorraine's perception given by the envoy, the nobles themselves don't like to set foot in this kind of place.

In their view, not only is the ground dirty, but so are the people themselves.

And Xueni seemed to have expended a lot of effort to bring her there, no wonder she always complained to herself that it would be fine if she didn't return to the capital.

Seeing that Lorraine didn't intend to be angry, Xue Ni turned her face around and smiled.

The old man sitting in the distance from the beginning to the end watched the two of them quietly. If the atmosphere here and her was not too strange, perhaps Lorraine would regard her as a simple old man.

Lorraine and Xueni went and sat down opposite the old man. Before Lorraine could explain why they came, the old man said, "Long time no see."

"haven't seen you for a long time?"

Lorraine looked at the old man, carefully looking for a figure that could match her appearance in his mind, but still felt that he had never seen this old man.

"Excuse me, have we met before?"

The old man was not surprised by Lorraine's expression, "You forgot, you bought a ring from me."

As he said that, the old man took out a ring from the small cabinet next to him, put it on the table and pushed it towards Lorraine.

I don't know what material the ring is made of, but even in this place where there is not enough light, there is a strange light shining at the inlay, and the whole ring also exudes a very disturbing atmosphere.

Lorraine stared at the ring for a while, then looked up at the old man, "Are you the merchant from before?"

A long time ago, when Xue Ni was following her, she once soiled a merchant's ring, and that ring was exactly the one in front of her.

The old man nodded, responding to Lorraine.

"This lady came to look for things before, and I recognized her, so I greeted her and helped her make the medicine she needed."

The old man still remembers the way Xueni passed by that day, like a lost person looking for the way back, and he just provided her with a feasible method, that is, made the medicine she needed according to her request. .

When he saw that Xueni didn't come with Lorraine, the old man probably guessed who Xueni's medicine was for.

Now it seems that it should come in handy.

"You are here together this time. Do you need anything?" The old man looked at the two people sitting together and showed an unknown smile, "If you still want that medicine, I can help you make it again. "

"No need, no need." Xue Ni quickly waved her hand, wanting to end this topic quickly.

"I want you to help me find out what these three bottles of medicine are for." Lorraine put the three bottles of medicine he got on the table.

"Oh?"

The old man saw three bottles of strangely colored potions. He didn't know if it was because of the candlelight next to them or something else. A strange light began to dance in her eyes.

"Can you do it?"

Seeing the old man curiously holding the bottle and looking at it, even though she made Xueni's medicine, Lorraine still maintained a skeptical attitude, and this person was indescribably strange.

"Yes." The old man laughed, "But later, please share some of these three bottles with me later."

"I'll give you some? What are you going to do?"

"This thing looks like it should sell for a good price." The old man laughed, and the candle started to flicker with the laughter.

"If that's the case, yes." Lorraine said.

What they need to know now is what are the effects of these three bottles, and it is enough to leave some to go back.

"Okay, then it's a deal."

The old man opened the bottle in his hand, carefully poured out a drop and put it in his hand.

After putting down the bottle, she put her finger to her mouth and whistled softly.

Following the sound, a pitch-black bird fluttered over from the house and landed on the old man's shoulder.

Is it a crow?This is what Lorraine thought of when he first saw the bird, but when he looked closely, it didn't look like it.

The old man raised his hand, and the pitch-black bird immediately understood what the old man meant, and jumped over to drink the liquid in the old man's hand.

"What does this mean?" Lorraine couldn't understand the old man's intentions, so he could only ask the envoy.

"Some pharmacists will breed some special animals into specialized drug testing tools, and use them to judge the characteristics of drugs."

"Then these animals are all disposable?"

"Depending on the situation, some animals have better drug resistance and can resist many drugs, and as long as they are not poisonous, basically there will not be too many problems, but some animals will die after the judgment is made."

Lorraine looked at the strange bones everywhere in the house, and seemed to understand where these bones came from.

After the pitch-black bird drank the liquid, its whole body began to shake a little, and it fell directly on the table after a while.

"It looks like it's a drug that makes people unconscious." The old man casually grabbed the pitch-black bird, and in her hand, he could still feel its heart still beating.

In fact, there is no need for the old man to explain, looking at the appearance of this bird, combined with the information obtained from the previous visit to Lil's house, you can roughly guess what it is.

This is the kind of medicine that Laai gave to Liraya and Mkahn.

"As for the two bottles, please wait." The old man got up and walked into the inner room unsteadily.

The candle in her hand reflected her shadow for a long time, and then disappeared as she walked into a certain position inside the corner.

Lorraine, who was skeptical just now, dissipated his doubts after seeing what the old man had just done.

It's just that the method she used seems a bit unreasonable.

Looking at it this way, this old man doesn't just sell jewelry or anything like that.

But her accessories always gave Lorraine an indescribable sense of strangeness.

But there is nothing strange about it just by looking at it, so Lorraine can only guess that the strangeness lies in the materials used to make the accessories.

Only Lorraine and Xueni were left in the room. Seeing the strange and unnamed things in the room, Xueni leaned towards Lorraine subconsciously.

What the old man said to wait a moment didn't seem to be as simple as Lorraine thought.

Lorraine and Xueni sat there until dawn, and the old man didn't come out again. If it weren't for the two bottles of medicine, which were not expensive, Lorraine would have thought that the old man had escaped with them.

Chapter 31

Windfall

Lorraine basically didn't sleep all day. When the morning light shone into the dilapidated house, his consciousness was a little dazed, and he looked like he was dozing off.
