Chapter 443
The lock on the door was damaged and had been thrown over. It was obviously violently broken by the two men.
He opened the door and walked in. He glanced at the small living room. Except for some decorations, there was nothing special about it.
The bedroom was relatively messy, with some clothes piled on the bed and placed in a messy manner.
Rin immediately noticed something was wrong and glanced around: "Is this... packing up the ceremony?"
"Exactly."
The nun behind him said: "I thought Mr. Anthony had already packed up, and he was calm and not panicked at all when he left. Now this is very surprising."
"In other words, your priest has storage equipment?"
"Yes, he has a space ring."
Rin nodded, not in a hurry to guess, but searched around the room bit by bit, and finally came to his study.
Normally, if there are any clues, they will usually be concentrated in the study room.
Ke Lin sifted through all his personal belongings, including letters, but still found no useful clues.
Rin stood there, folding his arms and frowning, his eyes darting back and forth randomly, and finally stopped at an inconspicuous bottle of healing potion on the table.
"By the way, I heard that your priest is also a pharmacist?"
The nun lowered her head: "The priest is a water magician, not even a pharmacist, but he does have a lot of research on potions. Our therapist here is away from time to time, and many patients have been cured by the priest using potions."
"It seems that his level is very good?"
"Yeah, I feel like he's as powerful as a pharmacist."
The nun's casual words triggered a string of thoughts in Rin's heart.
Rin had thought that he was just a low-level or average-level pharmacist before, but he didn't expect that this priest had such a talent for it.
It's a pity that dual professions are rare and not so easy to obtain, otherwise he should have greater achievements.
No...you can't think wrongly.
There is clearly something wrong here!
There is a problem...what is the problem?
Rin racked her brains to think, and suddenly a thunderbolt passed through her head and hit her soul.
Yes, why didn't I think of it just now?
Making potions requires an alchemy laboratory, or at least an alchemy table!
Rin had a hunch that this would be a huge breakthrough and asked quickly.
"Where do you priests usually make medicine? Which house?"
The nun was obviously also asked, and she said nonchalantly: "Mr. Anthony said that making medicine in the church would easily disturb other people, so he went to his own medicine room. I don't know where it is specifically. He also said that no I hope someone will bother me, so I haven’t been there. I heard it seems to be on the north side of town.”
Then she added: "Your Highness, Pudding Town is relatively small. You will definitely know if you ask other residents."
"I see."
Linhuo hurriedly led people to the north of the town. Compared to the south, there were fewer people here. Further north, you will leave the town, and you can still see acres of farmland and mills.
To the north are residents' houses and some mills.
The Adjudicator went around to inquire about it, and reported to Linhui when he came back: "Residents nearby said that Father Anthony can often be seen passing by here, but he has always left the town, and he doesn't know where he went."
In desperation, Rin had no choice but to leave the town again, stand on a hillside, and look around.
Looking at the sparse small warehouses and mills, they are all quite far apart.
Now that this range has been locked, it is much easier to find it.
Finally, Rin found an abandoned warehouse item.
According to people from nearby mills, the priest could occasionally be seen wandering around the warehouse.
Xiye swung her sword to cut the lock on the door and pushed the door open.
Dust suddenly hit his face, causing Rin, who was about to enter, to choke and retreat quickly.
When the dust dispersed, Lin took a closer look and was immediately confused.
The warehouse was supposed to be used to store wheat, but it had been abandoned for many years... But the problem was that it was empty, not to mention the alchemy table, not even a broken table.
"What the hell, what's going on in this damn place?"
Rin couldn't help but uttered a translation accent, searched around inside, and walked out with a sullen face.
"Keep looking nearby, and you will definitely find it. Otherwise, Father, why would he rush here for nothing?"
My inference was definitely correct, but the location was more hidden than imagined.
On the contrary, this shows that there is definitely something wrong with the priest himself.
If it is only used for medicine, why do it have to be done secretly? Can't you just find a house and make medicine openly?
Several people searched carefully around the warehouse, and the brave man also joined them, poking at it with his sword like a mouse.
Finally, she came to a haystack, and was about to use the Feng Tu Sword to blow away the haystack covered with thick snow, when Lin's voice came from behind.
"Meow meow, if you don't work hard, what are you doing?! If you're lazy, eat dried fish at night."
The brave man who was about to cause destruction stopped his hand, and then angrily thrust his sword into the ground.
The tsundere keeps talking about her these days, and she will really get angry.
Tonight, I will force him!
Thinking like this, Fei Miao picked up the sword and poked it downwards, and suddenly said "Meow?"
There was a metallic sound coming from the end of the sword, as if it had hit copper or iron.
Fei Miao used his feet to kick away the surrounding snow and the layer of straw beneath the snow, revealing a dark cellar door.
"Damn arrogant, here."
Hearing this, Lin quickly ran over and saw the metal cellar door. She hugged Fu Miao and kissed her on the side of her face.
"Good job, useless meow."
"Meow~"
Amelia was in a great mood, thinking that it would be better to be gentle at night.
Rin called for Yuye and the others to come over, cut off the lock on it, and opened the cellar door.
Xiye went down first and took the magic lamp to shine around.
"Brother, come down."
Everyone went down to the cellar with this, and looked around under the light of the magic lamp, with joy on their faces.
This is indeed the place they are looking for.
There are storage cabinets on both sides, with various bottles and jars stacked up, some soaked with many medicinal roots and flowers.
Further ahead is a large alchemy table with all kinds of dry pots, beakers, test tubes, and the room is filled with the smell of medicine.
There are vents on both sides, which should be connected to the ground, but the ground is covered with snow, and Rin and the others did not notice it.
There are some boxes scattered around.
This is Father Anthony's alchemy workshop.
Rin couldn't wait to start rummaging around, and found a space ring on the test bench.
Place all the contents of the space ring on the table.
Badges, workbooks, money and other important items are among them.
In other words, he deliberately went directly to the Holy City without carrying any ritual or work manual.
But why do this?
Rin's thoughts suddenly became broad and clear, and he had already guessed a possibility.
I searched the entire alchemy workshop and found no clues to prove my guess.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, come and take a look at this."
The voice of a female judge came from behind. Lin stepped forward and saw a torn piece of paper on the table.
"I just saw it from the corner of the table. The handwriting on it is compared with the work manual. It belongs to Father Anthony."
Rin picked up the paper and saw a bunch of materials scribbled on it, and the portion size was also marked on the back.
"This is just a list of ingredients for the potion."
Another adjudicator said, obviously not impressed by this.
Isn't it normal to find a list of ingredients in an alchemy laboratory?
"It's not that simple. One of them is called jade rhinoceros horn. I don't know if this thing is useful in medicine, but I am sure that it attracts the souls of the dead."
"Forehead?"
Seeing Rin's confused look, the adjudicator explained: "The undead have been defeated long ago, and now they are all hiding in the dark forest. Many people don't know about the war back then.
I have also read in biographies written based on the church that jade rhinoceros horns can be used to synthesize special potions and even make rare magic cards, which can draw out the souls of the dead. They have the same effect as slime pollen balls, and are generally used for Draw out the enemy and destroy it. "
Rin's eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of the name of the mission.
Charon, the ferryman of the underworld, had previously guessed that the enemy was the undead. Now, the evidence that can be used to support the inference is here!
Now, he needed to determine whether the medicine finally synthesized from this material list was what they expected.
Lin subconsciously wanted to find Qiyu, but then she thought about it, Qiyu was still busy, and she couldn't ask others for everything.
Without Baidu, I can’t read books.
Before Rin traveled, in order to enrich his knowledge, he took away many popular science books from the royal library, including several books on pharmacy-related materials.
Since it is used to deal with the undead, it should be found in special potions.
There were even several books on special potions. Rin had people take away all the items that could be used as clues and hurriedly returned to the church.
Asking the judge and the nun to help search for other potion books to prevent any omissions, Rin took the special potion book and read it carefully.
Fortunately, the goddess's blessing was still there, and her mind was clear. With Rin's full concentration, she checked very quickly.
The thick book like a dictionary was in his hand, and he flipped through the pages quickly.
The room was quiet, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the books in their hands.
Even the brave man worked hard for this, although his eyes turned into mosquito coils after looking at it for a while, and he soon fell asleep on the table.
The sky has turned dim, the lights are bright, and the only sound in the room is the rustling of paper.
Rin rubbed his sore wrists and shoulders, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He turned to the next page and saw the familiar words, his eyes bursting with joy.
"Found it!"
Everyone came forward to take a look. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and moved their limbs.
"High-level soul-binding potion can attract high-level evil spirits and render them incapable of action for a short period of time."
The male adjudicator was still puzzled: "Does this...does it mean that the person who killed the priest was an evil spirit, and the priest had known it for a long time, but...why did he die outside the city?"
Rin had roughly understood the context and smiled: "It's already very late. Thank you for your help. The first priority now is to fill your stomach. If there is any delicious food in the town, I will treat you."
"Huh? His Royal Highness the Holy Son..."
"It's okay. I'll explain it later. Now I'm really hungry and can't walk."
Looking at the useless meow next to him, he almost saw his undead spirit floating away.
"Then we are welcome. I heard that there is a restaurant in the town that specializes in making beef bone soup. Your Highness, please see..."
"Let's go."
Rin stood up, packed away the books on the table, and led Fei Miao to leave first.
We came to the second floor of the restaurant and ordered a beef bone soup pot, side dishes and a few plates of grilled beef ribs. Everyone sat together.
Lin patted Fei Miao's head and whispered in her ear: "Be patient, you will be able to eat soon."
Fei Miao nodded. She had eaten some snacks in the afternoon, but she still felt hungry without staple food, so she couldn't help but touch her stomach.
The nun was still a little embarrassed and tried to sit in the corner.
