Why am I the only male apprentice of the evil queen

Chapter 016

This abandoned mine is very desolate and dead, the dark hole is like a big evil mouth, waiting for the food to get in by itself.

The entrance of the cave is not very big, and the first part of the journey is very narrow, only four people can walk side by side, but above it is a natural and empty cave, with sharp stone cones hanging from the top of the cave, and the dark corners seem to hide unspeakable secrets. malicious.

Compared with the calmness of Casalia's team, Tennyson's team was much more flustered. Occasionally, a stone would be frightened, and they immediately raised their shields and weapons to prepare for the battle, which made Casalia want to laugh. .

Moreover, in order to show the difference between himself and other men, Tennyson also equipped six male knights in the team. Although they are also practitioners, their strength...

Casalia looked at the hesitation of these male knights, and then secretly glanced at Fenmu beside her. This guy was so calm.

"They're all men, how could there be such a big gap..." She sighed softly, feeling ashamed for those church knights.

Even if they are men, as members of the church knights, they must at least show the courage they should have.

"What gap?" Fen Mu felt uncomfortable walking among them, and whispered: "Can you let me walk by the side, surrounded by you like this, it's really uncomfortable."

Casalia pointed to Dole, the pharmacist of Tennyson's team, and said that she should not be at a disadvantage, and said:

"That's not allowed. Walking around you is also for the sake of safety. You can just treat us as flower protectors."

Hey, is this how the flower protector is used? And you're right, isn't that fat pharmacist in front of you also a flower?

A group of people continued to walk forward, Tennyson suddenly slowed down, and asked Fenmu: "Local, do you know the past of this mine?"

Is it to prepare for the lively atmosphere or to listen to stories? Fen Mu said: "I'm not a local, I've only lived here for more than a year, and I'm just a coffin maker, not a tour guide, otherwise I can make up some stories."

Casalia has some opinions on the coffin maker's claim. Fenmu's current outfit can't even be called a pharmacist. There is a knife wrapped in a cloth strip hanging on the back, and an ax pinned to the back waist. It seemed like they didn't believe in their ability to protect.

"This mine has been abandoned for at least 20 years." She judged based on the old facilities in the mine.

Fen Mu gave a thumbs up and said in surprise:

"This really makes you right! This mine has been mined for 36 years, and then it was abandoned for 20 years, and no one took care of it, so it is actually a very old mine. Later, I don’t know why the mine was abandoned, it is said that it was because of the sharp drop in production efficiency, and it was said that it was abandoned because of the continuous death of people.”

Tennyson in front staggered when he heard this. I don't know the situation that was agreed, why did Casalia tell everything as soon as she asked, but the rigid relationship was in the middle, so he didn't bother to say anything.

In the claustrophobic and dark environment under the mine, it is easy to lose the sense of distance and direction, but fortunately, as long as you follow the mine car track on the main passage, there will be no problem.

During the period, there were traces of battles all over the long stretch of the road. Tennyson was sure that this was left by Katharia and the others when they went down the mine last time. It seemed that the battle at that time was extremely dangerous, but thanks to their efforts, this There were no monsters for a long stretch of the way.

It's just that Tennyson's heart began to surge with uneasiness as he went deeper.

It's strange, where does this uneasy feeling come from... It should be that the surrounding environment makes me uncomfortable.

His mother Debbie arranged for his trip this time. She said that Katharia was there to clean the mine, and the strength of the personnel was guaranteed, which was just enough to give Tennyson some exercise. Tennyson was dissatisfied with this view of his mother.

I have broken through the limit that ordinary men can achieve, and I am also at the level of [Glorious Paladin], why do you say that I am much inferior to Casalia, as if I have to be under her strength to ensure my safety? .

This kind of dissatisfaction made him dispel the discomfort in his heart, straightened his back, and said to Casalia and her group behind:

"We have to quicken our pace, otherwise we won't be able to reach the end until tomorrow night."

Casalia frowned immediately when she heard that. There was an unknown area ahead of her that she hadn't explored yet. If she didn't know the enemy's situation and proceeded recklessly, she was looking for death.

"You are irresponsible for the lives of your teammates. If you walk too fast, the danger will be ignored. If the back road is blocked during the retreat, it will be annihilated!"

"Miss Casharia, you seem to have confused the difference between prudence and timidity. You are the latter now. Excessive timidity will slow down our progress." Tennyson gritted his teeth secretly. refute his words.

Relying on her previous achievements in the Trial Diocese, this Casharia went against him again and again!

Casalia lit up a special small lantern and held it in her hand. The teammates next to her also lit up the lanterns to guard against the dark corners of the surrounding environment. She said coldly:

"If you have the experience of facing the cultists, you will not lack respect and fear for the unknown."

Suddenly, some stones fell from the ceiling of the mine to Tennyson's team. His teammates had already changed color, but Tennyson was still unaware, and the female knight next to him hurriedly pushed him away.

In the next second, five fat maggots the size of adult wild boars fell down and gnawed at the living people next to them.

Chapter 017 Flaming Sword Oil

The bodies of these meat maggots are swollen and fat, the body fluids are cloudy, and the human limbs inside can be vaguely seen. The almost shriveled heads can open their disgusting mouths to bite and attack the living people beside them, and the corners of the mouths leave yellow turbidity from time to time. foul-smelling saliva.

After Tennyson's female knight pushed him away, the people nearby reacted fairly quickly. Two of them held shields to block the huge maggot, while the others attacked from the side.

Casalia felt a headache when she saw their strange fighting posture, and hurriedly tried to stop:

"Don't chop this meat maggot directly!"

However, several people's knives have already been swung down, and it is difficult to take them back.

The sharp straight sword cut into the meat maggot's body like cutting pork, even easier than cutting meat. The mucous membrane on the meat maggot's body could not stop the sharp blade made by the craftsmen of the church.

What, isn't it easy to kill this kind of monster? The knights thought at the same time, wondering why Casalia stopped them.

Then these knights knew the reason. The wounds cut by the sword just now sprayed out a highly corrosive smelly liquid. The arms of two female knights were accidentally splashed, and the skin immediately appeared festering symptoms and severe pain. Make them hurt in a low voice.

Kashalia took out a bottle of flaming sword oil from her pocket and spread it on the big sword. She swung the sword forward and slapped away the meat maggot with the strongest desire to attack. Divide the meat maggots into two sections, white mist and sound of "sizzling" come out from the incision, all the juice is evaporated by high temperature, leaving only charcoal-like black marks on the incision.

Ai Wa and the others also applied sword oil one after another, and quickly cleaned up the maggots.

For a while, the stale air in the mine smelled of barbecue, although the smell was mixed with a sour smell, reminiscent of roasting meat in a cesspool.

"Damn it, the smell is a bit harsh!" Fenmu covered his nose with his sleeve, but it didn't work, so he simply took two pieces of mint grass from his pocket and stuffed them into his nostrils, finally healed.

No one on Casalia's side was injured, while two people on Tennyson's side suffered minor injuries, all corroded by maggot body fluids.

In a simple battle, the strength of the two groups of people is clearly superior. In fact, the other female knights assigned by Tennyson are good, but the nature of the work of the Redemption Diocese limits their knowledge. If it is a large-scale crusade, they can display their due strength.

Although Cassaria also belongs to the Redemption Diocese now, she used to be in the Judgment Diocese for a long time. Several other dioceses call the trial diocese a gathering place for lunatics.

A nun chanted divine spells softly in her mouth, and her hands emitted a soft green healing light, but the corroded wound on the female knight's arm did not heal.

"Why can't it be cured?!" The nun said in surprise, her face was not very good-looking.

Casalia sighed, wondering if these people had read what I reported earlier, so she could only reiterate once:

"Your divine healing spells are too low-level. The wounds that cannot be healed by divine spells can only be healed by a pharmacist. You nuns will be responsible for providing light and amplifying blessings later."

They clearly stated in the letter that they would send more powerful nuns, so why did they send two more nuns to make up the numbers? If I had known this, I might as well have written a letter to my old employer, the Judgment Diocese.

Dole was a little frightened just now. After wiping his cold sweat with a handkerchief, he hurried to the wounded to check the condition of the wound.

He is still prepared for corrosive wounds. The pharmacists union sells formulas for various medicines. Before he left, he just bought two copies of the latest formulas with a lot of money, which can treat this kind of wounds.

Dole took out several bottles of potions of different colors, quickly went through the ingredients and dosage of the formula in his mind, poured a little of the dark blue and purple potions into an empty bottle, and finally added a few drops of colorless liquid, It is the first one configured.

"It will hurt a little, bear with it."

Mentally prepared the female knight in advance, Dole carefully dripped the potion on the corroded wound. The female knight gritted her teeth, her arms trembled slightly, obviously the wound was painful due to the stimulation of the potion.

Everyone around stared at him with wide eyes, but after a while, the wound showed no signs of healing.

Tennyson's expression was stiff, and he asked, "Your potion isn't working?!"

"No, no, no, the medicines are all targeted. Maybe this formula is not suitable for the injuries in the mine. I have another copy. Please rest assured that these are all produced by the Pharmacist Guild." Dole hurriedly Moved out of the backstage, but the trembling lips have exposed the inner panic.

He took a deep breath, and quickly configured another one. During the period, he made a mistake because of shaking hands, but fortunately, he managed to configure it successfully the second time.

Dole swallowed, and dripped a drop on the wound with fear, staring at the female knight's wound without daring to blink.

After a while, he let out a long breath, smiled and said: "See, the wound is starting to heal! You can trust the Pharmacist Guild with confidence!"

Casalia stepped forward to inspect the wound with her own eyes, and it was indeed beginning to heal, but the healing was very slow, a bit slower than a snail crawling.

When she asked Fenmu to treat the nun before, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye! This gap is too big, right? !

"Fenmu, where did you buy your formula?" She asked in a low voice.

"The old lady who passed by sold it." Fen Mu replied casually, it can't be said that he has all kinds of knowledge in his mind, from forging to refining medicine to making clothes.

"By the way, I will also mix the flame sword oil, the effect is a little bit better than the one you just used." Fenmu drew the "little" gap with his fingers, and asked, "Do you want to sell it to you at a lower price?"

When Casalia heard the difference in effect, she had no intention of buying it, and politely refused:

"Let's wait until I run out. I just bought my sword oil, and I don't need to replace it. It's shameful to waste it."

Ava came over and took out her sword oil bottle, and there was only a sip left in it:

"You can still make this, that's great, I've run out of preparations, help me make a bottle, just use this old bottle."

"no problem."

Chapter 018

Sword oil was originally the exclusive knowledge of people who follow the path of the demon hunter. Many types of monsters need different characteristics to deal with, but it is obviously unrealistic to buy all kinds of expensive weapons for this, so the sword oil Existence solves this problem.

Different sword oils can add different effects to weapons for a period of time. There is a slightly weakened version of counterfeit sword oil in the church, and the effect is not as good as the secret formula of the demon hunter.

In Fenmu's knowledge, although it is called sword oil, there are still many similar effects, and it can just be mixed with his existing potion into the original flame sword oil to make it.

"Should I throw away the rest, but after that, it would be a waste to wash the bottle with clean water." Ava wondered what to do with the last bit of sword oil.

"It's okay, you don't need to throw it away, this bit of sword oil can still come in handy. By the way, do you have any wine? You need a relatively high-purity spirit."

"Yes, it's just for disinfecting wounds, you can't drink it." Ava took out a bottle of wine from the storage ring and threw it to Fenmu.

The storage ring can store some small items, which is a must-have item for adventure travel, but unfortunately, the things that can be stored are very limited, and it cannot be as exaggerated as storing a mountain or a river casually.

Fenmu unscrewed the cork of the oak bottle, the strong smell of alcohol made his eyes uncomfortable, and he coughed repeatedly after just smelling the smell a little.

What a joke! Do you use such strong wine to disinfect wounds? !

He poured half a bottle of spirits into the sword oil bottle, and took out his own bottle of blood-like potion and poured a few drops into it. Old sword oil, alcohol, and potions fused together after shaking slightly.

Dole is very disdainful of the country pharmacists, but out of the pharmacist's instinctive curiosity, he still peeks at the process of dispensing the medicine from the corner of his eyes to see if he can learn anything.

But after seeing a few steps, I don't have the heart to read it again. Sword oil is a large independent category in potions, and the refining process is much more troublesome than drinking potions.

It’s not that adding some salt to soy sauce can solve the problem. This country bumpkin’s method is too rough. Regardless of whether it can be successful, the finished product must be rough.

Casalia has seen a lot, and also has some understanding of the configuration of sword oil, and she is a little glad that he didn't spoil her new bottle of sword oil.

"Okay, here you are, the current conditions can only produce such an effect." Fenmu put the cap on the bottle and handed the finished product to Ava.

"Can I have a try? I have to try every bottle of sword oil I get to ensure that there will be no mistakes in actual combat."

"Of course you can, but don't touch the sword oil with your hands, just drop it on the sword and shake it evenly." Fen Mu has no objection to this, it's the same as swiping a few times to test the feel before buying a weapon.

Ava pulled out the church straight sword from the scabbard, and subconsciously prepared to pour the sword oil on the gauntlet, but she followed Femmer's suggestion, dripping four or five drops on the root of the blade, and then pointing down the tip of the sword , let the sword oil flow down.

The whole sword gradually became bright red, and Ava slashed towards the open space. The blade burst into flames as it fell, and a burst of flames rolled up.

The previous sword oil only made the blade hot, and the difference between the two was obvious!

It was the first time Ava saw such fierce sword oil, she was surprised: "Isn't the effect too strong?"

She swung her sword again at the corpses of those meat maggots, and the tongues of flames and flames that were swirled directly burned the corpses. The meat maggots, which were mostly body fluids, shrank continuously, and finally turned into a piece of scorched black charcoal.

Dole was dumbfounded, and said in disbelief: "How is this possible? How can that crude refining process still have such a strong effect?!"

Casalia also wanted to say this, but it was too embarrassing to say it. She thought it was just some kind of clay formula sword oil with a good effect, which was better than nothing, but she is also the one who is so powerful like this bottle of sword oil now. See you for the first time.

She looked at the bottle of sword oil in her hand that had only been used once, and suddenly it didn't smell good, and she even felt a little disgusted.

"How did you get this formula? I'm willing to pay a high price for it!" Dole almost disregarded his face. As long as he bought this unrecorded formula, his status in the Pharmacists Guild would definitely increase!

"Given to me by a passing grandma, I don't want to sell it." Fen Mu refused straight away.

The corner of Casalia's mouth twitched, why was it given by the old grandma? It's not like this to make excuses. Behind her, she secretly poured out half a bottle of sword oil, and said cheekily:

"Just now my sword oil was accidentally spilled, Fenmu, look..."

Fenmu gave her a disdainful look, but still helped her make a copy. Naturally, several of her other teammates were indispensable for this kind of thing.

Those female knights were also knowledgeable, holding this bottle of sword oil that they had never seen outside before, maybe it would be difficult to buy in the future, and they even felt a little reluctant to use it in their hearts.

After suffering from the previous losses, Tennyson had a sense of urgency to improve the strength of the team. He felt that he was embarrassed by a few meat maggots, mainly because of his lack of experience. In this regard, he had a little responsibility, but his side The whole team has a pot.

"Dole, do you know the enhanced formula of sword oil?" Tennyson asked, a group of them couldn't even hold a bottle of sword oil.

Dole looked embarrassed, his brows were full of bitterness, he could see Tennyson's eyes - even a young pharmacist on the frontier can do it, you must be able to do it too, right?

"I really don't know. The pharmacist's guild doesn't even have the formula for this kid, and he didn't ask for the sword oil formula before he set out to recruit..." Dole said guilty.

Tennyson sighed, and looked left and right at the staff on his side. His morale was a bit low, but after the new sword oil was added to Casalia's side, the high-spirited atmosphere was completely different from his side.

Even though they were all in the same whole, he couldn't bear this huge contrast.

My mother said that I am special, and I shouldn't be inferior to other people for such trivial things!

He walked up to Fen Mu and said righteously:
