Chapter 816.1: Murder
As if receiving an amnesty, Nicholas immediately rushed forward and hugged Carlos ' leg.
His eyes quickly turned red and tears rolled down from them.
— Sir Carlos, I ... ah~, " Nicholas started sniffing, which could make it seem like he was on the verge of crying.
— Nicholas, you worked hard, " Carlos said, shaking his leg. He was afraid that Nicholas would start crying into his pant leg. After all, he knew very well who Nicholas was.
Of course, Nicholas didn't let go of his leg. Not only did he tighten his grip on her, but he wrapped his legs around her as if he were a koala hugging a tree.
— Sir Carlos, please listen to me. He's an alchemist that I accidentally found. He had previously mastered the formula for one potion, and under my guidance, he created it, and then we discovered that it was...
From the outside, it might seem that Nicholas was trying his best to help Su Xiao, but in reality, Nicholas only wanted to claim all the laurels for himself.
— Wait, so he's better than you at alchemy, and it was only by chance that you realized he could try to save Carlos? "the night elf princess, Anna, immediately revealed what Nicholas wanted to hide.
— Of course not! The tears in Nicholas's eyes disappeared immediately.
— Nicholas, I will never forget your kindness. As long as I live, you will always be the quartermaster of the Iron Blood Legion, " Carlos knew what Nicholas wanted, and after saying that, he turned and looked at Su Xiao. — I've seen your performance on the battlefield, especially how you fought your way out of the Union Army, Squad Leader Byakuya.
Nicholas, on the other hand, immediately closed the door and locked it securely, after which he even activated the alchemy defense.
— Do you know about my situation? Carlos asked and sat down on Nicholas ' sofa, then looked at Su Xiao with a smile.
— Position? Su Xiao looked stunned, and then, as if he remembered something, he said — " The person Nicholas asked me to treat is you, the legion commander?" Not Officer Vincent Horn?
Su Xiao looked a little surprised.
— Carlos looked at Nicholas and smiled. — You did well.
Carlos praised Nicholas for not disclosing his condition without first informing him. If Su Xiao had said that he knew everything, Nicholas would have died in the end, regardless of whether the treatment was successful or not.
— Legion Commander, listen up... Can I tell Byakuya about your situation? He can prepare the medicine... although Nicholas was greedy, he wasn't stupid, and he was well aware that there were some rules to follow.
What they needed to do now was to play down the fact that Su Xiao didn't know anything about Carlos and that he needed to be cured.
— Wait a minute, " the night elf princess said. — Can you even trust him?" After asking this, Anna looked at Su Xiao suspiciously.
Her voice was cold and she was used to checking first, and then trusting.
— Of course you can trust him, Miss Anna, and I, Nicholas Caesar, can vouch for him.
— Vouch for it? Anna's thin brows furrowed as if she was thinking about something.
— Byakuya is not a member of the Tribal Alliance, " Carlos said, closing his eyes and leaning back on the sofa. He had already seen Su Xiao kill enemies on the battlefield. Considering the number of warriors he had killed and the degree of ruthlessness he was capable of... It was a level that no spy could reach.
— Even if you can trust him, we don't know if he can help you with this problem. This kind of problem can't be fixed just because of some goblin's words...
Carlos waved a hand.
— Anna, there's no need to say more, Byakuya, tell me how you're going to help me get rid of this energy.
Carlos didn't really care if Su Xiao was a spy or not. He immediately appreciated Su Xiao's strength. If he really turned out to be a spy, then no matter what he managed to do, he would end up dying by his hands.
Carlos was well aware that he didn't have much time left, and relying on Nicholas to eliminate that energy was clearly not worth it.
He was in a desperate situation.
Even if he died here today, the fortress would come under the command of his adjutant, he had already prepared everything for it.
In fact, trading his life for the life of such a good spy wasn't a bad deal, considering all the current realities.
Also, what if he could actually help him and get that energy out of his body? He was already almost one foot in the grave anyway, so couldn't he try to take this chance?
Although Carlos had at most another three months to live, he vaguely felt that this energy in his body was about to 'explode'. Even if he didn't die because of it, he would at least become much weaker if he wasn't bedridden at all. For him, such an outcome would be worse than death, for he had many old enemies within the empire.
The four people and one dog in the room remained silent. Su Xiao didn't really care what Carlos, Anna, and Nicholas thought. He didn't care about the three's suspicions. Right now, all he wanted to do was purify Carlos ' body, get that energy, take the brooch, and leave the fortress.
— Legion Commander, if I'm not mistaken, the energy in your body has a dark attribute. Basically, it should make you stronger, and the side effects should be a variety of illusions and sudden gusts of aggression, for example, you often want to destroy something in front of you, "Su Xiao said, feeling Carlos' arm and at the same time carefully scanning his body.
