Even if a pharmacist already has a relatively complete theoretical system, it is a complicated project to develop a new type of applied medicine.

Not only do they need fellow pharmacists who can discuss with each other, they also need a group of skilled apprentices to help them.In addition, the personnel responsible for logistics are also indispensable.These people handle chores, provide medicinal ingredients, utensils, and slaves for testing medicines.No pharmacist can do anything without the support of the logistics staff.

Victor relies on the magical ability of dream evolution to test the life purification potion alone in the scene. Even though his physical energy and energy are almost endless, the materials here can continue to evolve repeatedly.But with the passage of time, all the tests that should be done have been completed, and even the plant samples such as mushrooms, lichens, and fluorescent moss growing in the underground caves were tested by Victor one by one.

The most important thing is that there are many types of pharmaceutical experiments that cannot be completed alone, and several pharmacists need to operate synchronously to make the pharmaceutical formulation effective.

Victor can only suspend the test and transfer his energy to the real world.

"Water Snake Town has been blocked for 21 days, and the reinforcements from Fallen Leaf City have not yet arrived. The atmosphere in the town has become very tense. Several armed caravans are clamoring to leave. New caravans come in. Because they have to work to support their families."

"That bastard Husserl insisted on continuing the blockade, saying that the bandit spies who murdered the mayor hadn't been caught yet, and that anyone who dares to make trouble at this time will be arrested."

At the dining table in the living room of the rented house, Maddie said to Victor who was eating: "Your Excellency, you are absolutely right... After the news spread that the mayor was killed, the guards under Husserl pretended to be in the town to check the bandit spies , but they didn’t dare to wrong us.”

Victor took precautions and openly opposed Husserl.On the contrary, it is not easy for the town guard to charge them as "bandit spies".Otherwise, the vast majority of people will suspect that the town guards deliberately framed them, and then they will wonder whether Husserl’s purpose of framing Victor and his party is to cover up some kind of crime.

Now, the contradictions between the armed caravan, the town residents and the town guard are prominent, and the situation is tense.All they need is a plausible excuse, and they all want to hang up and beat the guard soldiers who have cut off their money.

Husserl is like sitting by the stove, if he is not careful, his butt will be burned, so how dare he trouble Victor again?
Victor would be thankful for not stepping up to fan the residents of this town and storm the guard station.

After all, Husserl lacked credibility as Sheriff of Watersnake.When he has selfish intentions and wants to do anything, the situation will often get out of control.

Victor had anticipated this, but at the same time he believed that Husserl would not just sit and wait for death.After all, even if it is a fish placed on a eucalyptus board, as long as it is not completely dead, it still has to jump twice.What's more, what about Husserl, a big living person?
As for Husserl's tricks, Victor has no interest in knowing.His goal of delaying time has been achieved, and the entire Water Snake Town has been transformed by the Dream Arena inside and out.He is confident now that he can get away at any time, and whatever plots and tricks Husserl has has nothing to do with them. …

The sheriff of a small town didn’t even have the food on the table to attract Victor’s attention. He ate a whole can of melon stew. sighed:

"Really bad."

"Ah? What's wrong?" McGrady looked up in surprise and asked hastily.

"Who made the dinner today, it's too bad." Victor frowned, pushed the crock pot in front of Maddie, and commented unceremoniously: "It tastes too salty, and it burned the lake, and then added cold water to stir... …Pig food is better than it.”

It was only then that Maddie realized that she had misunderstood Victor, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Stephanie on the other side of the living room.The little girl was combing Ruth and Jessica's hair.Her hands are very dexterous, but she doesn't know why cooking is particularly bad. Harvey has taught her several times, but her cooking skills have not improved.

However, the food made by Stephanie was so unpalatable, Victor ate more than anyone else, and it was strange enough to complain about the taste of the food after eating.

Victor used a simple trick to disintegrate Captain Husserl's malice, and McGrady was completely convinced of his resourcefulness.However, McGrady also knows that Victor is not only smart, but also has a changeable temperament, and is also very indifferent to outsiders.If it weren't for Sister Sarah's deathbed instructions, Victor probably wouldn't have taken everyone in the Adventurer's House to heart.

Stephanie has nothing to do with Braun Town Adventurer's House.As of today, Victor hasn't decided whether the little girl will stay or not.

Although Stephanie is a good candidate for a shadow hunter and has the potential to be promoted to a high-level professional, Victor may not care about it.

Maddie is a little concerned that Victor has casually made the decision to ditch Stephanie because of the terrible food she cooks.

"Stephanie is very smart, but she can't cook... When we settle down, I will teach her well, and maybe she will be a good scout in the future."

McGrady laughed dryly, stopped mentioning Stephanie's cooking, and changed the subject again: "A few days ago, people from the town guard came over and framed Stephanie as a fugitive from Island Street. In my opinion, that Captain Cecil There is no other way, I want to accuse Stephanie casually, and then deal with us. As a result, after those guards were driven away by Harvey, the town guard remained silent."

When Victor woke up halfway, he heard Harvey talk about this matter.He also thought it was just Cecil's little trick.

Victor had previously made noise in Water Snake Town, implying that the "thief" Stephanie was appointed by Captain Cecil to sneak into their rented house and steal identity documents.

Then, they offered huge rewards and hunted down the thieves with great fanfare, giving residents and business travelers who didn't know the truth a plausible impression.These outsiders have aristocratic backgrounds, and they come to Water Snake Town to secretly investigate certain people or certain things.Captain Cecil again assigned thieves to sneak into their rented house and steal identity papers; and ordered his guards to watch them around the clock.In addition, he sealed off the town in the name of preventing bandits, so he must have ulterior motives in order to preempt these outsiders.

As a result, Victor and the others really caught the "thief", and the soldiers of the town guard came to identify the "thief" as a fugitive from Island Street. …

How can there be such a coincidence?

Everything seems bizarre and magical, but there is an inherent logical connection among them.

Because, Victor is a nobleman from a famous highland family, and everyone believes that he is of extraordinary origin.

is everyone...

Even Victor himself is sure of this, the difference is that his identity is not easy, and he is afraid of causing the so-called "enemy".Cecil, on the other hand, is suspicious of his true origin, and the means against him are very limited.At least, before finding out Victor's details, the town guard did not dare to directly attack a highland nobleman.

Therefore, Cecil wanted to use the rogues, adventurers, and local residents of Water Snake Town to encourage them to deal with Victor together.It's a pity that these people are not stupid. Victor only used some means to make the conflict between himself and the town guard public, and the rest of the people just stood by and didn't want to step into the muddy water here.Otherwise, Victor's every move in Water Snake Town would be closely watched, and that would be troublesome.

The identity and background of a famous family in the highlands is really useful. Cecil has not had the guts to arrest Victor, but he charged a negligible thief as a fugitive on Island Street.

Not to mention that Victor didn't believe that Stephanie was a fugitive from Island Street, I'm afraid that everyone in Water Snake Town thought that Captain Cecil was making up for the "mistake" he made.From another point of view, when the town guard came over to identify Stephanie as a fugitive from Island Street, it was an indirect admission that Captain Cecil had instructed the thieves to steal the identity papers of Victor and his party.

Victor knew, though, that Stephanie wasn't as simple as she made it out to be.

The evolution of the dream covered the entire Water Snake Town. In the dream, he stared at Baifa Laiyin's room, looked through his personal belongings, and entered the mansion of the chief official of the town guard, and found that someone had recorded something related to them on cotton paper information.

Although the information is simple, it is accurate enough.Including Harvey's background as a strong mirror heart, a third-level half-elf, and a third-level shield guard have all been found out.

To be honest, the content on the letterhead surprised Victor.He himself couldn't see through Harvey's reality with his naked eyes. How could Captain Cecil know the actual state of Harvey and McGrady?
The content of the letter also specifically mentioned Stephanie, saying that she is a natural awakener, and her threat assessment is the same as that of Maddie.

What are the criteria for threats?
Who is it a threat to?

This undoubtedly aroused Victor's curiosity, but he did not intend to continue to entangle with Cecil.There are various indications that Baifa Laiyin and several of his companions are in frequent contact, and they are about to take action to go deep into the secret passage leading to the underground, probably tonight.

Stephanie has a secret, and Victor is ready to leave her, no matter how talented she is.You can't let a person whose identity is a mystery follow by your side, ruining your big business.

Victor took a deep look at Stephanie, turned his head and was about to speak to Maddy, when he heard Stephanie say softly, "I...I'm really an orphan on Island Street."

Victor and McGrady were stunned by the sudden change.

"Ok?"

"Son, what did you just say?"

Stephanie's heart was beating wildly, she didn't know what was wrong, just as Victor's eyes swept over her, the spider lines on her palms became hot, a sense of crisis inexplicably appeared in her mind, and she seemed out of control Tell your secrets. …

She had experienced a similar phenomenon before, and every time she made an intuitive choice, she could save herself from danger.For example, the last time she sneaked into this rented house, she deliberately left a handprint on the closet based on a sudden crisis instinct.

After doing such things, Stephanie's tense mind will be relaxed.

This time was no exception. Stephanie revealed her identity as an orphan on Island Street. The burning pain of being bitten by a spider on the palm of her hand quickly faded, and her mind became more alert.

She ran up to Victor in small steps, knelt down with a plop, and choked up, "I was a child who grew up on Island Street, my father and mother are dead... woo, woo, I'm an orphan, Please don’t leave me, my lord. In fact, I can cook, and I can also make special food, but I dare not reveal it, that is... that is the special food taught to us by the wolf shepherd girl Bertina..."

"you……"

McGrady's complexion changed drastically, complex emotions surged, his heart was shocked, disappointed, panicked, anxious and angry, his thoughts were like a tangled mess, it was almost impossible to resolve, at last with stern eyes, he said bitterly: "Damn it!"

Victor raised his slender and well-proportioned palms to stop Maddie from making the next move. He looked up and down the little girl who was crying with tears and snot in his eyes, and said, "Interesting."

Seeing that the master was in a good mood, Maddy also heaved a sigh of relief.They have a lot of trouble themselves, and it's never wise to get involved with a public enemy of the alliance like the wolf girl.However, he was convinced by Victor's wisdom, and since Victor didn't care about Stephanie's identity, there was nothing to worry about.

"My lord, what should we do with her?" Maddy asked with a face full of shame.

Stephanie knelt on the ground without daring to move, quietly waiting for fate's verdict.

The wolf shepherd girl was born, invincible, who would not be interested in her secrets?

In comparison, the rewards hanging on her with a total price of one million gold pagodas are insignificant.The forces capable of capturing the wolf shepherd girl would not care about the huge reward at all, and those without the ability would not be able to earn millions of bounties from the wolf shepherd girl.

In fact, the so-called million-dollar reward is purely a gimmick arranged by the Disa Alliance, and the secret of the wolf shepherd girl is the priceless treasure.

Victor is of course very interested in the wolf shepherd girl Bertina.However, when a clue appeared in front of him, he didn't know where to start.

After thinking about it, Victor said, "Prove it to me."

Stephanie was at a loss in her heart.

The residents of Island Street in North State of Fallen Leaf City were brutally besieged by the Alliance, and very few people managed to escape.They either have good skills, or they are very lucky.Stephanie is a combination of both. Although she is young, she has been sharpened enough during the escape, and her mind is far superior to children of the same age, even better than adults.

She took a great risk to confess her identity as an orphan on Island Street in front of Victor, and also revealed that she had a relationship with Bertina.

The adult in front of him really wanted to change his decision when he heard the news about the wolf shepherd girl, but he asked her to prove that she didn't deceive the other party with lies.

How can this be proved?
Do you want to show the spider pattern that Bertina forcibly bestowed on her, and then tell this adult that Bertina is trying to make her hands and feet more dexterous, so that she can make the special food in her mind as soon as possible?

Stephanie didn't want to do this at all, and when she was hesitating, she heard Victor continue to say: "Go to the kitchen and make a special delicacy for me to see."

"Ah?" Stephanie was finally relieved, but her little face was wrinkled into a ball, and she said eagerly: "My lord, there are no ingredients I want in the kitchen..."

Victor was about to ask about the types of ingredients when his eyes suddenly moved and he said, "Wait a minute, Harvey is back."

After a while, Harvey, who is short and strong, broke into the rented house with a heat wave and night wind.His face was full of excitement, and he whispered to Victor with admiration in his eyes: "My lord, you guessed correctly. The boy with white hair and red eyes has left the hotel. The eyeliner we bought said that he saw him with a few strangers wearing weapons." The people converged and headed towards the mayor's mansion."

Victor got up immediately, his eyes sparkled, and he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Okay! Let's go as soon as we get ready." After a short pause, he glanced at Stephanie, who was ignorant of the lake, and said to Maddie: "Take Take her with you and you are responsible for keeping an eye on her."
