Chapter 22 The Price of Power (10)

Ella was shocked for a while by Meli's words. Although she had a vague premonition that the potion with strong effects and mass production might have hidden some side effects, the side effect that Meli mentioned was too great.

The price of life is life, which is actually very reasonable. But when this side effect occurs, all those who have drunk this potion - the lords of the Duke of Aquitaine, the vassals of the lords, and all the troops of these lords will be wiped out in one place, Ella still feels a little creepy.

"Scipio," Alfred looked at Ella, "Are you mercy on the enemy?"

"You said it's the 'enemy'." Ella raised her head and sighed, "Since they chose this power themselves... I have nothing to say. That Coul, how is it now?"

"It lurks in the mountains, and I don't see it. But in the air, I can feel its life is declining." Meli replied, "We are not a good friend. If we meet, there may be a dispute. And what to do next must be carefully considered, so I did not search carefully."

"That's it. Scipio, as far as I know, most of the lords of the Duke of Aquitaine faction have obtained this potion. In other words, as long as Kur dies, the whole faction will disappear in an instant." Alfred said very seriously, "But this matter is really too much. I came to you this time to confirm - Scipio, you discovered this potion first. Have you ever drunk this potion?"

Ella shook her head: "I don't. This thing doesn't look like a serious alchemy potion."

After a pause, she said hesitantly: "But Hestein first came into contact with this potion. I can't confirm whether he had drunk it."

"Where is the Hero King now?"

"In Movara mud and healing... no, if he says so, he probably hasn't drunk it."

"Rehabilitation?" Meli and Alfred asked in surprise: "Hero King is injured? Who did it?"

"I was trampled by the pigs I raised..."

"Um?"

Several question marks appeared on Melis and Alfred's heads. But seeing that Ella was not like she was joking, Alfred slowly opened his mouth and said, "Although he doesn't understand what happened... but since he is recovering from his injuries, that is, he can't participate in the next battle?"

Ella nodded.

"Trouble." Meli frowned suddenly, "Originally, our purpose here was to seek help from the King of Heroes. Compared to the Duke of Aquitaine, Crodis is a more difficult problem. Without the King of Heroes, our winning rate will be several levels less."

"Where is Amy?" Alfred asked, "Why didn't you see her?"

"She was injured by Hestein, fortunately not very serious." Ella replied, "If she really wanted to face Crodisius, she should be able to help a little."

"Not enough, far from enough." Meli shook his head, "that is Crodisius, even among the apostles, the most powerful one."

"So that's the case," Alfred thought, dragging his chin, "Can you avoid him first and wait until the Hero King's body recovers?"

"It is possible to avoid, but the price will be very high." Ella said, "The Earl of France has already said that if he cannot defeat Crodis, he will immediately fall to the side of the Tianfang Empire. By then, even if the faction of the Duke of Aquitaine disappears, the entire Almany Federation will become our enemy."

"Melly, you fly fast, can you find some reinforcements?" said Alfred. "You should know some more powerful magicians, right?"

"No one would be willing to fight the apostles," said Mellie. "In their opinion, this is tantamount to suicide."

"Do they don't even have the courage to unite to fight the enemy?"

"They have been united long ago, once in the time of the enemy prophets, and once in the time of the Antichrist." Meli kept shook his head, as if he remembered the painful past, "No one can beat the magicians of the Abraham church. No one."

"So, what about the sword saint?" Alfred looked at Ella, "Since Hestein has been able to threaten Crodisius, if the sword saint takes action, he should have a chance to get rid of Crodisius, right?"

"The Sword Saint... has passed away not long ago."

"Why is this happening?" Alfred hammered his head in pain: "Is no one able to help?"

Ella stared quietly at Alfred. He was a king, a great king, but in the face of this overly powerful force, he could only be at a loss.

"Actually..." she said hesitantly, "Just just now, I came up with an idea... although it may not be successful."

"What's the idea?"

Alfred and Mellie all turned their eyes to Ella.

"Since you said that this contract with Kur is a contract of living and dying together. To sign this contract, you only need to drink a small bottle of potion... Then, if, I mean, if, if, before Kur's life is exhausted, what would happen?"

Alfred and Mellie were both stunned for a moment.

"Sepia, you mean..."

"Let me discuss the worst result first," Ella glanced at the two of them. "Crodith is an immortal apostle and has limited life. After he drinks this potion, will Kur also have infinite life, and even the Duke of Aquitaine, and even all the soldiers who drink this potion have infinite life?"

"I...I don't know." Meli said blankly, "Generally speaking, it is our side that gives life. I have never encountered this."

"I tend not to." Ella said, "The method of this contract should not be profound knowledge. It is unlikely that the Tianfang Empire would not have any idea. If it could have infinite lives so simply that thousands of people could have, the Tianfang Empire's army would have long become an immortal legion."

"It makes sense." Alfred nodded.

"So, the most optimistic situation: because of Cour's exhaustion of life, Crodisi also died... How likely is this situation?"

"I feel...I can't say it." Meli shook her head vigorously, "This kind of thing has never happened."

"That is, it is an unknown that no one has explored."

For some reason, Ella became a little excited:

"Even if this experiment cannot be successful... I want to try it."

"I get it," Alfred pondered, "It's really worth a try."

"But how should we try?" said Mellie, "How can we let Crodis drink this potion? He already has infinite life, and this potion is not attractive to him at all!"

"Actually, there is still a little possibility." Ella stared at Alfred, "Afu, you should be the only one who can do this now."
