Chapter 480 Meeting with Dr. Zombie (2 in 1)
"Arquette's Combat Skill: Blade Throw Launch"
This is obviously the fourth skill that has not been detected.
The speed of the blade piercing through the air was extremely fast, and this blow relied on a word of speed, making it difficult for people to dodge. It's a pity that when Arquette made his move, he was besieged heavily, and the angles he could choose were actually very limited. Bai Xiao had already seen through the direction, made a prediction in advance, and snake skin moved to avoid it.
However, the stabbing sword actually drew a circle in mid-air and stabbed from behind Bai Xiao, but the speed was not as fast as it was at the beginning.
This sinister sword did not change the situation of the battle. Even if Bai Xiao couldn't hear the sound of piercing the air, he could still sense it with his mental strength. Before he could dodge in time, he raised his hand and summoned a skeleton knife and shield hand, and set up a shield to block behind him.
Bang! The iron shield of the Skeleton Sword and Shield Hand was pierced through, the bones fell down, and the life value dropped to the bottom, but fortunately, there was no death.
Arquette, who made a last-ditch effort, was completely unable to support the suction of the Venom skill, and quickly dropped to below 2 points, enduring a full 8 seconds of theoretical stun duration! The actual dizziness effect lasted for 6 seconds, such a long time that he couldn't resist, even with full health, he couldn't bear it.
The summoned creature attacked from all directions, and in just a few seconds, Arquette's health was hit to less than 20 points. Then Bai Xiao controlled the summoned creature's fine attack, knocking Arquette's health down to less than 5 points.
In this case, even if Arquette wakes up, he has no power to resist.
Two skeleton swords and shields held Arquette's arm, one left and one right.
"We admit defeat!" Harold, the butler of the Iron Thorn family, stood up tremblingly and said.
"Mr. Harold, don't worry," Bai Xiao walked slowly in front of Arquette, "I'll ask you again, who is this person?"
Harold sensed something was wrong, and his face quickly turned pale.
Bai Xiao smiled and stretched out her hand, touched Arquette's chin, and then slowly tore it open.
There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd of onlookers! On Arquette's face, there was actually a thin leather mask that could be faked! Under the mask, there was a middle-aged man's sinister face, with sunken eye sockets and dull eyes. How could he be as young and handsome as the former Baron Albert Standing?
"Mr. Harold, tell me now, is this person the second in line heir of the Tiethorn family, Albert Standing?" Bai Xiao said leisurely.
Harold's face turned from white to blue. However, he reacted quickly, and said sharply: "Absolutely not! This person, this person pretends to be my young master. It is so audacious, Lord Viscount Dior. I beg you to hand him over to the Iron Thorn family. We will definitely not forgive you!" pass him!"
Bai Xiao said lightly: "Then, how should I explain this silver thorn seal?" He walked up to Cecilia and shook off the two signed life and death contracts, "There is an Abel seal on it." What about Tristandin’s name and the genuine Thorn Seal? Don’t tell me that the important token of the Iron Thorn family, the silver Thorn Seal, would be stolen so easily!”
Harold was sweating profusely.
The silver thorn seal is an important proof of the iron thorn family. Due to the remoteness of northern Xinjiang and the lack of effective means of communication, the appearance of some heirs of noble children who have never been out of the house is unknown to other nobles, and it is normal for them not to be able to recognize them.
At this time, tokens are needed to prove identity.
Cecilia also believed in Arquette's identity as the heir of the Iron Thorn family in Black Rock City after seeing Arquette's silver thorn seal. Of course, the reason why the Tiethorn family gave the counterfeit Arquette the seal was to prove this point to Baishi City.
Harold was in a dilemma.
If he said that the silver thorn seal was stolen by Arquette, it means that the Iron Thorn family is incompetent, and the reputation of the Iron Thorn family will definitely be questioned. Nobles who can't even keep the important tokens of the family well will become all nobles. mouth jokes.
But if you don't say that, it will confirm the fact that Arquette is in collusion with the Iron Thorn family, and also expose the Iron Thorn family's wolfish ambitions for White Rock City. In this case, the Tiethorn family will not only be questioned, but will be discredited.
"Come on, take Harold down!" Bai Xiao waved his hand and said coldly, "The Tiethorn family must give me an explanation for this matter!"
Tim greeted two city defense soldiers and escorted Harold. He walked up to Bai Xiao to salute, bowed his head and asked, "My lord, is that fake guy going to be detained together and interrogated strictly?"
There was a complicated light in Arquette's eyes. He glanced at Harold and said loudly: "I won't say anything! Kill me if you have the ability!"
Now, Arquette can only hope that the Iron Thorn family will save him, and of course he cannot betray the Iron Thorn family. As the saying goes, Arquette also understands the truth of being frank and sitting in a lenient prison, and resisting the New Year from Yan's family.
Bai Xiao shook his head: "This person is useless, just kill him."
While speaking, Bai Xiao raised his hand and shot.
The moment the muzzle (magic hand crossbow) was aimed at his head, Arquette finally felt fear, and he said loudly: "No"
Boom!
The bullet was fired, and Arquette had a blood hole between his eyebrows, and his body fell limply.
Together with Arquette and Harold, there are also two servants of the Iron Thorn family. Bai Xiao ordered the two to report to Black Rock City on horseback, and then ordered Harold to be taken into custody, and Arquette's body was hung outside the city wall for public display.
As for Arquette's treasure chest, of course Bai Xiao would not miss it and kept it in his pocket.
The people of Baishi City watched a good show, and went to their homes with satisfaction. Before leaving, they were still talking about it. After this battle, those from Cecilia's territory finally saw how powerful the lord is, and the aborigines in Baishi City also remembered the fear of being dominated by "Baron Dior"
City Lord's Mansion.
"Dio, why did you kill that fake swordsman?"
As soon as she was seated, Cecilia asked a little puzzled, "He is an important witness. We should interrogate him to reveal all the Iron Thorn family's conspiracy against White Rock City."
Bai Xiao smiled and said, "You're right."
"Then?"
Seeing Cecilia's bewildered face, Bai Xiao explained with a smile: "What kind of conspiracy does the Iron Thorn family have against us in Baishi City? You and I can guess at eight or nine points. It's nothing more than plotting against Baishi City." My lord is mainly dead, and without an heir, they, as the most powerful nobles in northern Xinjiang, are of course qualified to request escrow, as for you, you will definitely be expelled."
Cecilia nodded slightly. Her title itself was inherited from her husband's family. She had no contact with the upper class and the upper class of the empire. She even felt that she was out of place. Family.
"The poverty of White Rock City is completely incomparable to the wealth of Black Rock City. I really don't know what those nobles think. There is no limit to greed." Cecilia said.
Bai Xiao narrowed her eyes and said, "Don't underestimate us, in fact, there are many good things in Baishi City."
Speaking of this, suddenly the knight Tim knocked on the door and reported: "My lords, I have brought Mr. Doctor here."
"Let him in." Bai Xiao said with a smile.
In the next second, Dr. Zombie's big head appeared and squeezed in from behind Tim.
"Dear boss, you're finally here." Dr. Zombie's opening remarks were neither innovative nor enthusiastic.
Not seen for several months, the image of Dr. Zombie has changed. A pair of tortoiseshell glasses are on the bridge of the nose, covering the pair of protruding goldfish eyes. Coupled with the messy hair, there is really a serious atmosphere of a scientist, which is much more pleasing to the eye than the image that is not human at first glance.
"Hello, have you had a good vacation these past few months?" Bai Xiao patted the chair and motioned Dr. Zombie to sit down, "Let's do the math, how many mission indicators do you owe me?"
Dr. Zombie stood up immediately after sitting down, oh no, he jumped up: "God of light! Boss, Ms. Cecilia has been giving me orders in your name for the past few months to produce zombies. The potion, I have successfully completed the task indicators three times a month!"
Cecilia nodded slightly: "When I led the troops to go out, I would need to use this potion to sweep away the zombies in unknown areas. In the past few months, Dr. Zombie's mission has been accomplished very well."
Dr. Zombie was grateful: "Beautiful lady, your credit is as moving as your body!"
Bai Xiao was a little helpless, Cecilia was still too serious. When she said this, it was not good for Bai Xiao to use some cunning means to deal with Dr. Zombie, so as not to lower his image. After all, the Kane world attached great importance to the spirit of contract.
"Not bad, not bad. Doctor, you can go and enjoy your vacation." Bai Xiao waved his hand and said.
"Really?" Dr. Zombie was a little skeptical, "You won't lock me up in a dark room behind your back?"
"Of course not." Bai Xiao said with a smile, "I have a research paper left by a great scholar in the field of life sciences. I originally wanted to give it to you for research, but since you are about to go on vacation, I'd better find someone else gone."
Dr. Zombie tilted his head and looked at Bai Xiao: "A great scholar in the field of life sciences? Who is it?"
"His name is Norton, of course, you don't know him," Bai Xiao said with a shrug. "He is an alchemist from another high-level world. His research on life sciences has reached the realm of gods. Spliced together, and endowed with a considerable degree of intelligence, Mr. Norton is quite literally the greatest scholar I have ever met!"
Dr. Zombie shouted: "Impossible! How could a guy who plays with medieval alchemy walk in front of me? Boss, you must be lying, I won't believe it."
Bai Xiao nodded: "That's right, alchemy is something to fool people. Then during the few months you have been here, have you learned some alchemy formulas? Believe in such low-level things, a dignified doctor should treat you Not a problem."
Dr. Zombie's originally blue face turned pale for a while, and he argued strongly: "I am a scientist, not a worker who makes potions! I don't need to learn those formulas, what I want to understand is the principle of alchemy, that's mine. Pursue!"
Alchemy in the western context of the spiritual world is not a simple science, and it involves the most basic one, which is the transformation of psionic particles. The production effect is similar, but the production process is very different.
Especially the preparation of alchemy potions requires meticulous hands-on ability and rich experience summarization, which is very different from modern life science and technology with sophisticated instruments.
In the past few months, although part of Dr. Zombie's energy has been spent on making zombie medicine, his main energy has been exploring the alchemy mysteries of the Kane plane. Unfortunately, exploring the principles of alchemy is an extremely difficult project. Without the help of a team, Dr. Zombie alone has made little progress.
Bai Xiao was also mentally prepared for this, as long as he looked at the territory console interface, he would know the output of the research institute.
In the output, apart from the zombie potion, there are still only the most basic health restoration potions, and there is not even a special product of alchemy in the Kane plane, which shows that Dr. Zombie has not learned any new formulas.
Although the reason is that Dr. Zombie himself disdains to learn the specific formula, but this does not prevent Bai Xiao from using this as a painful foot to attack Dr. Zombie.
"The principle of alchemy? I think Mr. Norton should know that he is a polymath close to the realm of God." Bai Xiao said.
The dead Norton never expected that Bai Xiao would give him the status of a polymath.
"Okay boss, I decided to give up my vacation and study that note for you," Dr. Zombie suddenly changed his attitude, and said, patting his chest, "How is it, very touched? After I research the note, you have to give me a more long vacation as compensation”
"For example, leave the Kane plane?"
"No, no, no," Dr. Zombie's head continued to shake, "It's good here, and the Kane plane is the hometown of alchemy. I want to stay here, understand the mysteries of alchemy, and become a master." A great erudite from ancient to modern times. The so-called God’s domain is nothing special, and in the future I will definitely be able to create super clones that can rival real people, or even surpass real people!"
Bai Xiao's heart beat a little, Dr. Zombie's words were really not big words.
The King of Fighters plane world, after the Orochi chapter is the Sound Nest chapter. The Sound Nest organization used the protagonist Kusanagi Kyo as a model to create many clones of Kusanagi Kyo. Among them, No. 1 and No. 2 Kyo are even as good as Kusanagi himself. The fighting strength, and one of them, Kyo Kyo, even thinks that he is the real Kyo Kusanagi, and Kyo Ontomoto is regarded as a clone.
"Could this guy really be able to achieve this step? No, it should be impossible. The Sound Nest Organization is a giant organization with tens of thousands of scientific researchers working together, coupled with the leadership of genius scientific leaders, to achieve This incredible life science achievement. Here, Dr. Zombie is alone, without instruments and assistants, so he should not be able to do this step.”
