122. Toxic(2/2)
Regarding Aesop's almost mocking words, someone from the Sanctuary Elf clarified: "We were also preparing for His Highness's arrival. However, His Highness set up his own camp after arriving at the camp, so we were unable to offer it."
After talking about it, it became his own fault, and Aesop was not annoyed, he was used to it.
Lu Yu listened to the conversation between Aesop and the Sanctuary Elf and exchanged a look with Sigrid.
The Sanctuary Elf poured the juice from the large crystal cup into a wooden crane-mouthed pot, and then a female attendant came forward to fill the juice for Lu Yu, Aesop, Sigrid and others.
Aesop smelled the juice and was impressed by the fact that the juices drank by these people were more mellow than what he always had.
He raised the cup towards Lu Yu and was about to drink when he heard Lu Yu say.
"Wait a moment."
Lu Yu pushed the cup in his hand to Aesop and said, "In our Seris, there is a custom called drinking wine. I wonder if Aesop is interested in experiencing it?"
"Oh, what kind of special custom is this?"
"It's very simple, just swap the drinks in the cups."
"Is it that simple?" Aesop curiously took Lu Yu's cup, but he didn't notice that beads of sweat began to form on the foreheads of the Sanctuary elves behind him.
"It's not simple. This custom actually has a special ritual occasion and requires some actions to complete?"
When he heard that a ritual was involved, Aesop became even more curious: "Is it related to a magic ritual? What should I do? Just drink it."
Seeing Lu Yu nodding, Aesop raised his glass and drank without even thinking.
"Your Highness, no!"
This sudden, panicked shout made Aesop's hand holding the cup tremble.
The liquid in the cup pours out.
Just when the liquid was about to stain Aesop's skin, Lulutis flew out of the grill quickly, knocking the cup out of his hand and blocking the falling liquid.
The liquid in the cup dragged, drew an arc, and fell into the sanctuary elf who had no time to say more and was therefore silent.
The liquid adhered to the Sanctuary Elf servant at the front, but the previous one was safe because he blocked it with his clothes.
The latter one had liquid stained on his arm.
After a while, the flesh and blood there began to turn black and rot. If the toxins of the Tooth Flower hadn't been less active after leaving the body, the man would have been even worse.
Everything happened in an instant, from being incomprehensible to being shocked. Aesop lay stunned in the arms of his servant, speechless.
He pointed at the victim who was trying his best to suppress his screams but could only utter a few wailing words. He looked at Lu Yu and then at the Sanctuary Elf.
From those evasive eyes, Aesop's scalp felt numb, and a fire ignited from his always gentle heart.
The flame was so strong that the water called goodness flowing in Aesop's body was dried up.
"After dealing with my sister, now it's me, right!"
It's a pity that his anger failed to understand the situation.
Lu Yu took the words softly. Compared to Aesop who was spitting out fiery anger in front of his fingers, he was very calm.
He patted Aesop on the shoulder and told him to calm down.
"It's me they want to deal with, it has nothing to do with you."
Lu Yu held the crane-mouthed pot and stepped forward.
He searched around and found the mechanism. He pressed it lightly and the liquid in the cup poured out.
"The Yin-Yang Pot, if you press the button, it will be poisonous, if you don't press it, it will be non-toxic... Unfortunately, I have seen more clever things, you are just childish."
"By the way." Lu Yu raised his head and asked, "Do you think you can get those secrets by killing me?"
