After Megerson saw through D 'Idarion's intention, he still wanted to stay there and wait for the baked cookies. However, he was eventually dragged out by Lilith.
"It seems that your method won't work. Megerson is more difficult to deal with than we thought," said Lilith. "Maybe we can try to start with the people below."
"Hmm," D 'Idarion responded, looking a little absent-minded.
Lilith knew this guy very well. His behavior meant that he had a guilty conscience. He looked the same when he tried to secretly add research funds for magical animals in the budget she was going to send to the headquarters.
Lilith looked serious. "Are you hiding something from me?"
D 'Idarion had a wronged look on his face as he cried out, "How is that possible? Don't you know my character?"
"It's because I know you that I feel worried." Lilith frowned. "What did you do? It's not too late to tell me now. "
The sorceress carefully recalled the whole process of them visiting Megerson. During that period, D 'Idarion did not leave her sight. Except for shamelessly asking for food and drink and insulting his master, this guy behaved normally. Because of this, Lilith felt that this guy must have done something. However, there was a magic fluctuation detection device in Megerson's house. As long as D' Idarion took out his staff, it would be sensed. Logically speaking, this guy could not do anything even if he wanted to.
Lilith's expression changed as if she thought of something. "Why did you choose the cake three times?"
D 'Idarion was shocked. "You can even notice that?! Whose woman is so powerful? "
Lilith ignored this guy's disguised boast. "I don't know whether to say it's your strength or weakness. You've never been picky about what you eat. When you first came to Gudilesi, you could eat the cheapest fried noodles for half a year. I suspect that food is no different in your eyes."
D 'Idarion was proud of himself. "This is the passive skill of an otaku. As long as I take in the minimum amount of nutrition, I can maintain the normal functioning of my body. The rest of the money can be used to buy my beloved otaku. I don't understand you people. You have to distinguish between good and bad when eating. Little do you know that you have ignored the truth of the world. The fundamental meaning of food is to fill your stomach!"
D 'Addarion's bold words were powerful, but unfortunately, Lilith on the side was completely unmoved.
After waiting for a certain someone to finish his nonsense, Lilith opened her mouth and said faintly, "Do you really think it's safe to hide those figurines in the middle of the sofa?"
D 'Idarion's expression changed several times. After a while, he stuttered with a voice smaller than a mosquito. "It's … it's the Forgetting Potion. I applied it on the cake with my finger."
"The Forgetting Potion?!" Lilith looked a little puzzled at first, but after a moment, she thought of something and was shocked. "Isn't this a forbidden potion from two hundred years ago?"
The Forgetting Potion was a magic potion that could make people lose their memory for a period of time. The length of the amnesia was related to the ratio of one of the ingredients. In other words, as long as you knew the ratio, you could make a person forget everything from birth to the present and become an idiot. At the same time, this kind of amnesia was irreversible. The magician Reid, who created the Forgetting Potion, wanted to find a way to free himself from the pain of his wife and children dying together. He finally got what he wanted, but he also realized the powerful effect of the Forgetting Potion and the possible bad effects it might bring.
In other words, the Forgetting Potion was different from other forbidden potions. Even the Magician Association did not know how to make it.
"Where did you get this thing?" Lilith asked.
"The materials for the Forgetting Potion are very expensive, and Reid was only a grade three magician. So, he made a total of five bottles. Except for one for his own use, the other four bottles were sold. However, after drinking the Forgetting Potion, he forgot about it. Two of the bottles were later used by the buyers, and one disappeared. The remaining one was kept in the treasury of the Dwarf King. The Dwarf King gave it to me as a gift, "D 'Idarion said. "In addition, there is a comparison table of ingredients and time. You can adjust the time of forgetting according to the comparison table."
"How long did you set the time of forgetting?"
"Two days."
Two days ago, Armored Rock City fell. So, after eating the cake mixed with the Forgetting Potion, Medersen would think that he was on the same day that Armored Rock City fell. At this point, Lilith could almost guess someone's plan. After the fall of Armored Rock City, Viscount Medersen had made perfect countermeasures. In other words, he must have gotten the news in advance, which meant that he had some kind of communication channel with the higher-ups of the Church of Patience.
"Tonight", the Church of Patience would launch an operation in Armored Rock City, and Megerson would definitely want to know the success or failure of the operation to determine his next move. So if there were no accidents, he would make a move tonight. If the Church of Patience didn't contact him, then he would try to contact the Church of Patience.
The only problem was that if there were people from the Church of Patience around Medersen, they would definitely warn him after noticing his abnormality. Then, someone's plan would not work.
D 'Idarion seemed to know what Lilith was thinking. He shook his head and said, "No, we have just contacted Medersen, and we can be sure that he is a very cautious person. He will do everything possible to eliminate risks. So, at this most sensitive time, he will not let the people from the Church of Patience leave anything that can be used against him, even if we don't know who that person is."
"Even if you are the president, you still need to report to the authorities before you use the forbidden potion. And the target is the Matthews family. Once the problem is discovered, have you ever thought that we will be boycotted by all the nobles?" Lilith said.
"Sorry, the situation was urgent. I didn't have time to discuss it with you. I promise this will not happen again."
