Chapter 817: Assassination
Chapter 817: Assassination
s if pardoned, Caesar fought his way up to hug Carlos's leg, his eyes rapidly turning red as teardrops snapped and fell.
"Lord Carlos, I...order~"
Caesar sniffled, truly snotty, and even had the intention of sobbing.
"Caesar, you've worked hard. "
Carlos shook his leg as he spoke, he was afraid that Caesar would rub his snot on his pants leg, he couldn't know better what Caesar was.
Of course Caesar wouldn't let go, not only did he wrap his arms around Carlos's legs, those little short legs coiled up like a koala hugging a tree.
"Lord Carlos, you listen to me, this is the alchemy wizard that I discovered without advice, he previously mastered a potion formula, after my subordinate's guidance, that kind of potion was successfully developed, and my subordinate also discovered ..."
It looked like Caesar was trying his best to help Su Xiao fake his origins, but in actuality it was not the case, Caesar was taking credit.
"Stop, that is to say, his alchemy is above you, you have no opinion to discover that he can save Carlos?"
The Dark Elf Princess Anna said with a single word what Caesar was trying his best to cover up.
"Of course not!'
Caesar's tears stopped.
"Caesar, I won't forget your favor in this case, and as long as I'm alive, you'll always be the quartermaster of the Iron Blood Legion."
Carlos already knew what Caesar wanted and turned to Su Xiao.
"I saw your performance in the battlefield, especially the scene where you killed your way out of the tribal army, Junior Captain White Night."
Carlos and Anna walked into the room as Caesar closed the door and locked it securely, even activating the alchemical defense array on the door.
"You're clear on my situation?"
Carlos sat on Caesar's 'exclusive couch' and looked at Su Xiao with a smile.
"Situation? " Su Xiao froze, then guessed something, "The person Caesar asked me to heal is you, Legionnaire? Not officer Vincent Horn?"
Su Xiao looked a little surprised.
"It is me."
Carlos glanced at Caesar, who rushed to meet the smile.
"You did good."
Carlos was praising Caesar for not casually revealing his condition, before Carlos's inquiry seemed random, if Su Xiao answered understanding, Caesar would die no matter what the outcome of the treatment was.
"Legion Commander, do you think ... I can tell White Night about your specific situation? He needs to concoct a potion based on your specific situation."
Although Caesar was greedy, he wasn't stupid and knew that he had to follow the process, and now the bright side of the situation was that before, Su Xiao didn't quite understand Carlos's situation, to the point that he didn't even know that the person he was going to heal was Carlos.
"Wait." Dark Elf Princess Anna spoke, "Is he trustworthy?"
Anna sized up Su Xiao, who had a high-cooled and suspicious personality.
"Of course he's trustworthy, Ms. Anna, I, Caesar, can vouch for it."
"You vouch for it?"
Anna's slender brow furrowed as if she was thinking about something.
"If we're talking about whether or not it's believable, White Night wouldn't be from the Tribal Alliance."
Carlos leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, he had seen Su Xiao kill enemies in the battlefield before, that number of kills and the ruthlessness with which they were killed, spies would never be able to do that.
"Even if he's credible, it's unknown if he can help you remove that thing, this kind of thing is not something that a verbal guarantee can ... be given."
Carlos waved his hand.
"Anna, no need for words, White Night, tell me how you are going to help me clear that unknown energy. "
In fact, Carlos no longer cared whether Su Xiao was an enemy spy or not, he could sense Su Xiao's strength, a person with this kind of strength, if it was really an enemy spy, no matter how it turned out today, the other party would die here.
Carlos knew that his days were numbered, and there was little hope of clearing that unknown energy with Caesar, he was now dead horse.
Even if he died here today, the Black Earth Fortress was immediately taken over by his adjutant, something he had already prepared in advance.
Using the remaining three months of his life span to exchange the life of a powerful spy of the enemy + the exposure of an unknown force in the empire, this is a very cost-effective thing.
Besides, what if the other party could really help him clear the energy in his body? He was dying anyway, so why not try it?
Although Carlos still had three months of life left, he vaguely felt that the unknown energy in his body was going to explode, and after that energy exploded, even if he didn't die, he would still be lingering, his strength would decline drastically, and he would even be bedridden, and that would be a worse situation than death, and Carlos had quite a lot of enemies within the empire.
The four people and one dog in the room were silent, Su Xiao actually didn't care about what Carlos, Anna, and Caesar thought, it didn't matter what kind of suspicion these three people had, he only needed to do three things right now, help Carlos to clear the energy in his body, get the [Proof of Demon Hunting]from Caesar, and after that, leave the Black Earth Fortress.
Just a moment ago, Su Xiao received a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise, which was the reason why he hadn't opened his mouth much.
"Legion Commander, if I didn't perceive it wrong, that energy in your body is on the dark attribute side, the benefit is that it makes you stronger, but of course, there will be some side effects such as intermittent seeing of illusions, or suddenly wanting to destroy what you see in front of you."
Su Xiao pointed his finger on Carlos' arm, carefully sensing the situation inside Carlos' body.
"You ..."
Carlos body sat up straight, that energy in his body was dark attribute, and the two points that made him strong he told Caesar, as for the intermittent seeing of visions and bloodlust, he didn't tell anyone, Anna was not clear.
"Am I right, Legionnaire."
Su Xiao had to make sure that the energy in Carlos' body was clear, and after sensing it up close, he realized that what was in Carlos' body wasn't exactly demonic power, but a variant of energy that was very much like demonic power.
"Yes. Sometimes I see pools of burning fire, and sometimes I'm tempted to kill."
Carlos was smiling, the fact that Su Xiao was able to say these two things meant that Su Xiao really had hope of saving him.
Anna also noticed this and looked at Su Xiao with a gentler gaze, Su Xiao had gone from suspicious person to Carlos' only hope, the woman was a bit fickle.
"Fire Pool?"
Su Xiao took out her butchering short sword, "Sorry for the offense, legionnaire."
After saying that, Su Xiao cut a wound at the back of Carlos' hand, Carlos' flesh defense was too strong to break his skin without using the Slaughtering Short Knife.
"Good knife."
Carlos was more interested in surveying the Slaughtering Short Knife, not caring about the blood gushing out from the back of his hand.
Red and black blood appeared on the back of Carlos' hand, this red and black blood gushed out of the wound and seemed to not want to touch the air and began to back up towards Carlos' wound.
"This is ..."
Carlos stared at the back of his hand in shock, just before, this had never happened before.
"It's already this bad."
Su Xiao frowned and turned towards the test bench to start mixing the potion.
"Well? Am I still saved?"
Carlos didn't look too good, after all, his blood was too abnormal.
"If left unchecked, you'll turn into some sort of monster or lose consciousness within a few days, sensing correctly that there's some sort of consciousness in that energy inside of you, though that consciousness has no subjective intent."
Su Xiao hooked his finger to Caesar, signaling Caesar to bring the [Unstable Potion], receiving the [Unstable Potion], he pulled open the bottle.
"Drink it."
A choking, fishy-sweet odor filled the room, and Carlos' eyes twitched, "This stuff won't kill you if you drink it?"
"If it's you, ninety percent sure it won't."
Su Xiao took the test tube, whether Carlos drank it or not was up to his own choice.
Carlos took the test tube, a few mouthfuls of the liquid inside the test tube and drank it down, after ten seconds or so, Carlos really sat upright and motionless, the potion worked.
"What are you going to do after that? Kill me?"
Carlos's voice is a little strange.
"Not really."
Su Xiao pulled out the longsword on Carlos' waist, and drove a sword through Carlos' chest, all of this happened in a flash of lightning, and Caesar and Anna in the room froze in place.
"I...will...kill...you!"
Anna's expression could no longer be described as anger, it was an expression of hatred that wanted to eat Su Xiao alive.
"Anna, calm down."
Carlos had blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but he was laughing.
"This feels good, it's been a long time since I've been this relaxed."
Before, Carlos was like wearing a heavy 'iron coat' all year round, and after Su Xiao stabbed this sword, the 'iron coat' on Carlos melted like ice and snow.
