Doupo: I'm just an alchemist

Chapter 14 The Choice of the Snake People
Tagor Desert, the holy city of the snake people.

"Tell me, why did you two fight?"

"That's right, Nika. We all know your character. What did Mobas do to deserve you to beat him like this?"

In Queen Medusa's palace, three of the eight tribal leaders of the snake people gathered here.

Nika, who usually has the most stable personality, actually fought with the most violent Mobas, and beat Mobas so badly that his face was bruised and swollen, which surprised Medusa.

What kind of stupid thing did this annoying guy Mobas do to anger Nika, an "honest man"?

If Yue Mei had not arrived in time, Mobas would have been beaten even worse.

"Queen, Nika, the traitor, actually attacked me for the sake of humanity. You must punish him severely!"

Mobas spoke righteously. As the leader of the snake people, he actually wanted to protect humans. He was simply a scum and traitor of the snake people!

Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa's expression changed and she looked at Nika sternly.

"Nika, what Mobas said is the truth. Do you have anything to say?"

"Your Majesty, what Mobas said is true. I did fight Mobas to protect some humans."

Nika paused, then said firmly: "But I don't regret it!"

"Ok?"

"Queen, do you know the identities of those humans?"

"What's your identity? Are you the disciple of those old guys?"

Medusa sneered. She wanted to see how Nika would defend herself.

"No, they are the Nangong family's caravan. Your Majesty must have heard of Nangong Wuxin, the fourth-rank alchemist whose name resounded throughout the Jiama Empire some time ago."

"Yeah, I've heard of him. He's a bad guy since he was a kid." Queen Medusa had a very bad impression of Nangong Wuxin, especially his way of playing with people's hearts, which was very consistent with her stereotype of human beings being despicable and shameless.

However, the talent is really good.

She didn't say the latter part of this sentence in her heart, because there couldn't be an alchemist among their snake people, and she felt very unbalanced.

"The Nangong family's caravan brought back the tranquility water, which is the water dissolved from the elixir in the elixir recipe that Nangong Wuxin published."

"The tranquil water can restore our sick people to health. Many people in my tribe have been cured of their illnesses thanks to the tranquil water."

"That must be very expensive. It must have cost you tens of thousands of gold coins, right?" Yue Mei guessed with a smile.

"No, their tranquility water only costs two gold coins. If you do business with them, you can get one for free."

Nika shook his head. He was not surprised by Yue Mei's surprised expression, as he was the same at the beginning.

"I'm afraid these are a bunch of fools!"

"No, they must have ulterior motives towards us. They might be carrying out a despicable plan behind our backs, like poisoning our food and water! Even if they haven't done it now, they're trying to gain your trust. They'll definitely harm us snake people in the future!"

Mobas felt that he was so smart that he could recognize the human conspiracy at once.

Queen Medusa couldn't help but take another look at Mobas. Does this guy actually have a brain?
Just one glance made Mobas excited, and he was already thinking about how to capture Her Majesty the Queen.

"I've thought about this, but ever since they entered the desert last time, I've been watching their every move, and there hasn't been any unnecessary behavior."

"Until I thought of Her Majesty the Queen and the rising star Nangong Wuxin, I seemed to understand something." Nika stroked his beard confidently, feeling as if he saw that person. This is how smart people can communicate even if they have never met.

"Huh? That human boy Nangong Wuxin actually dared to snatch Her Majesty the Queen! I will..."

"Shut up!" Queen Medusa on the throne looked at Mobas viciously. What on earth was this guy thinking about?
Yue Mei, who was standing by, covered her mouth to hold back her laughter, and at the same time kept a distance from Mobas, fearing that this guy would affect her IQ.

How desperate must a fourth-grade alchemist be to dare to snatch a peak Douhuang expert?

"Nika, tell me what you thought of?"

"Well... Your Majesty, Mobas is actually right. That person is indeed thinking about Your Majesty."

? ? !

"Let me just say..."

"Shut up! Nika, continue." Queen Medusa seemed to have thought of something, looked at Nika and motioned him to continue.

"I guess that Nangong Wuxin is trying to seek the protection of the Queen, a Douhuang powerhouse."

"According to the information I found, the strongest person in the Nangong family, where Nangong Wuxin came from, is only Dou Ling. Although he is not weak, he has produced a peerless genius..."

"Hmph, then we should just ignore them and let them kill each other." Mobas said fiercely.

"That was before. Now no one dares to touch Nangong Wuxin, and no one in the Nangong family dares to touch him either."

"Why? I'll just go and kill him. They're just from the Douling family. I can kill them all by myself!" Mobas puffed out his chest. He was the bravest snakeman warrior!

"Then go ahead. Countless powerful humans will come under the banner of revenge for Nangong Wuxin to destroy our snake people. Even if there are no such people now, countless people will be saved because of this pill recipe. In the future, they may become Dou Wang, Dou Huang, or even..."

Nika took out the recipe for the tranquility pill and shook it.

In an instant, three sounds of people sucking in their breaths of cold air were heard in the palace.

"What a horrible calculation! Humans are so despicable!"

"What a horrible guy."

"..."

Queen Medusa was silent for a moment. After a moment, she looked at Nika: "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I think we should establish contact with him. After all, an alchemist with such outstanding talent is already worth the investment. Moreover, it is not a good thing for us snake people to be trapped in this desert. Might as well take a gamble."

"Queen, you can't do that. Humans can't be trusted!"

"But that's Nangong Wuxin. I think we can take a gamble." Nika looked at Queen Medusa and shook the pill formula in his hand.

"Since Nangong Wuxin dares to win over people's hearts, he must be more trustworthy than other humans, isn't he?"

"Is there any connection between them? Humans are untrustworthy anyway."

"So according to your idea, our snake people will be trapped in this barren desert forever!?" Nika's expression became extremely gloomy, and he looked at Mobas and Yue Mei coldly.

"We can fight our way out!" Mobas clenched his fists. Their snake people were natural warriors and would never lose to humans.

"Have you all forgotten how we got to the desert?" Nika's tone became more and more excited. If they could have won, would they still be eating sand and drinking wind in the desert now?
