Chapter 153: Tyrant Lan Wu
Lan Wu hugged Flora tightly. He knew exactly who the woman the little girl was talking about. Who else could it be but Barbara?
"Take me to see her." Lan Wu said a few words of comfort and asked seriously. He had a hunch in his heart. Barbara's serious injury and near death had a lot to do with what he had said to Barbara.
In fact, it was not difficult to guess. Although he had only been with Ende for a short period of time, he could tell from his words and deeds that this man was definitely not a good guy. Barbara was the top master of the Dark Crow and Ende's wife. After learning that her own daughter was replaced by Ende, she would most likely go to Ende to question him directly, and she might even find enough evidence.
Dark Crow was everything to Ende. He could not give up his current status. He hoped to become one of the giants who dominated mankind through the Dark Crow. Without the Dark Crow, all his grand plans and great undertakings would become a bubble. Therefore, he would never allow Barbara to destroy his ideals.
But Barbara was not an ordinary Dark Crow member. In addition to the two identities mentioned above, she is also the direct descendant of the founder of the Ravens. In short, Barbara is the real leader of the Ravens. Considering all these, it is not surprising that Ende is trying to eliminate Barbara's authority in the Ravens.
Secretly replacing Barbara's biological daughter is the first step. Ende planned very carefully. He knew that this cold and arrogant woman definitely did not take him seriously. If it were not for the identity of Inata's daughter, he would probably not be able to sit in this position. Therefore, he endured it and planned to temporarily use Barbara's authority to secure this position, and then secretly squeeze Barbara's power out of the top power of the Ravens little by little.
His plan was very successful. After years of coldness, he finally seized the real power of the Ravens, and squeezed Barbara's most loyal subordinate, Paladin Olvera, to the Raven Training Camp, losing most of his power.
But when he was preparing for the second step, that is, secretly designing Barbara to die in an accident, there was a huge mistake. Not long after the plan started, Barbara actually learned the secret that Yinata was his and Suna's daughter. This completely disrupted her plan. Fortunately, after so many years of planning, he has controlled most of the power of the Dark Crow. And Barbara, a cold and arrogant woman, actually had reservations and questioned him privately. This gave him the best opportunity to completely seize power.
Lan Wu unraveled the mystery bit by bit, combined with everything he knew, and gradually restored the reason why Barbara was seriously injured and dying. When he came to Akara's tent, the first sentence Barbara saw him confirmed his guess.
"Promise me to take good care of Flora, and I will give the Dark Crow to you."
"What?" Lan Wu was stunned and looked at Barbara blankly. He didn't expect Barbara to hand over the Dark Crow to him. How could this be possible? If she could still control the Dark Crow, how could she be seriously injured by Ende?
"We don't want your things!" Flora stood in front of Lan Wu, screaming with her teeth and claws. But her eyes were full of tears, and two lines of tears fell down her pretty face like pearls falling off the string.
Barbara seemed very calm. At this moment, she was no longer the cold woman like an iceberg. There was a touch of tenderness on her pale cheeks, and her eyes looking at Flora were full of guilt and shame. She already knew that she had lost a daughter. She knew how cruel the Dark Raven Training Camp was. Only a very few people could come out of the training camp alive and become a member of the Dark Raven. Facing her only daughter, she only felt guilty. It was she who made this 17-year-old girl lose her mother's love since childhood and her only sister.
"We don't want..." Flora looked at the woman in front of her who had little breath of life, and suddenly closed her mouth, turned around and hugged Lan Wu tightly, biting her lips and crying. Although this woman abandoned him since childhood, she was his biological mother after all.
Lan Wu felt the inner grief of the little girl in his arms and sighed in his heart. He couldn't understand it. The law of this world is that people will not die if their lives are not reset to zero. Besides, even if they die, isn't there still a way to revive them? Didn't that Vinya come back to life? He remembered clearly that Barbara sent Vinya to the Rogue Camp to recuperate as soon as he agreed. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he knew that Vinya was indeed resurrected.
But there were many people in the tent, including Akara, Kane and other senior members of the Rogue Camp, but why didn't anyone mention this? Is Barbara really dead?
"Lord Akara..." Lan Wu looked at Akara in confusion, but was interrupted by Akara halfway through.
"I'm sorry, the Rogue Camp has lost a lot of heritage." Akara's face was filled with heavy sadness. It is an indisputable fact that the decline of the Rogue Camp has led to its decline in all aspects.
"There is no way to use the full vitality potion?" Lan Wu frowned. This kind of anti-sky potion can instantly replenish life and mana. If the full vitality potion can save Barbara, there is nothing to say. The Horadric Cube is still in his hand. Just use the potion to synthesize it. It's not like I don't remember the formulas.
"This can only temporarily maintain her life." Akara shook his head slightly, with a very regretful tone. The full vitality potion is the most powerful magic potion. One bottle is enough to ensure that a person can avoid a certain death. If you use this rare potion to prolong a person's life, it is not worth it.
"Thank you." Barbara knew she was about to die, so her tone was not as cold as before. She was grateful for Lan Wu's kindness, and even more grateful that Lan Wu always considered Flora's point of view. This was much better than being an incompetent mother.
"Wait." Lan Wu raised his hand to interrupt the rest of Barbara's words. In front of everyone's puzzled eyes, he took out the Horadric Cube and put three bottles of healing potions and three bottles of mana potions into it. These potions were all asked from Gross when he went to Lugain for reinforcement. Then, he took out a broken yellow gem.
Akara and others gasped when they saw Lan Wu's actions. The Horadric Cube was actually obtained by this God-Blessed One. This is a legendary artifact that has been passed down from ancient times to the present.
Barbara had long known that the Horadric Cube fell into Lan Wu's hands. What surprised her was that the things Lan Wu put into the cube were clearly intended to synthesize a full vitality potion. The six bottles of potion were fine, but the broken yellow gem was quite rare.
Seeing Lan Wu take out the rare magic gem, Barbara felt for the first time that Lan Wu's love for Flora was not just to satisfy his own desires. She had been very upset about Lan Wu sinking into Claudia's tenderness, but now she had nothing to say.
Magic gems are not something that can be obtained casually. Lan Wu can take out magic gems, which is enough to surpass 80% of professionals.
Barbara closed her eyes with peace of mind. It didn't matter whether she could survive or not. What mattered was that her only daughter had a good home.
At this time, Lan Wu opened the Horadric Cube, took out a bottle of rejuvenation potion, and put in six bottles of potion and a broken gem again. After a while, he put three bottles of rejuvenation potion into the cube, and finally synthesized a bottle of full rejuvenation potion.
"Flora, go quickly." Lan Wu stuffed the full rejuvenation potion into Flora's hand, and then started synthesizing again.
Akara and the others were speechless. No one expected that Lan Wu would really take out such precious resources to save a person who was already determined to be incurable. Not to mention how precious the full rejuvenation potion was, even the broken gems made everyone's eyes twitch a few times.
It was too wasteful. That was a magic gem.
Flora was in no mood to care about how rare the potion in her hand was. Although she never accepted Barbara on the surface and always behaved like a proud little peacock, she had long been eager for Barbara to hug her to make up for the lack of maternal love for many years.
After drinking the full rejuvenation potion, Barbara's breath was obviously much better, and her originally pale cheeks had a little more blood color. She opened her eyes and saw that Flora still had tears and her eyes were full of tension. She could no longer suppress her inner grief, and two lines of crystal tears slid down her still smooth cheeks.
"I'm sorry." Barbara burst into tears, and the emotions that had been suppressed for many years were instantly vented.
Flora bit her lips tightly, refusing to cry out. She just hugged Barbara tightly, buried her head deeply in her arms, and felt a kind of emotion called maternal love.
"Lord Akara, these potions are for you." Lan Wu handed over a dozen bottles of full vitality potions to Akara and breathed a sigh of relief. Using the Horadric Cube here is not as easy and simple as in the game. It consumes a lot of mana. Fortunately, his mana value is now far higher than that of most professionals, and it is not difficult for him to synthesize more than a dozen bottles of potions.
Akara was silent. She knew the value of these potions.
Three bottles of healing potions, three bottles of mana potions, and a broken gem can synthesize a bottle of rejuvenation potion. Three bottles of rejuvenation potions can synthesize a bottle of full rejuvenation potion. She witnessed Lan Wu synthesizing more than a dozen bottles of full rejuvenation potions in one breath.
She didn't know how to describe Lan Wu's good luck to be able to take out so many broken gems to synthesize full rejuvenation potions in one breath. Even the ruler of Harrogath would not be willing to use so many magic gems to synthesize such a rare potion.
If she knew that Lan Wu had obtained six large boxes of various magic gems in this operation to reinforce Lu Gaoyin, she would not think so. Each box was as tall as a person, which was all the savings of Lu Gaoyin over the years.
While sighing, Akara suddenly heard Lan Wu's next words: "Lord Akara, please leave Flora and the others to me. I will go to Lu Gaoyin."
"Wait." Akara was shocked, and the eye of the mind had seen through Lan Wu's plan.
"Wait?" Lan Wu swung his fist fiercely: "My mother-in-law is almost dead. Undestroyed Dark Crow, I am not happy!"
