There is a bomb behind Truman.

It was like a living creature, tightly attached to Truman's shirt, stretching out its crab-like claws, and pressing into the flesh behind Truman's back.

It has a pocket watch that is moving through needles, like its eyes or heart.

Truman didn't feel possessed by a bomb.

When Lilis tried to pull the bomb off Truman's back, not only did Truman feel the severe pain that penetrated his bone marrow, but the pocket watch on the bomb also began to rotate faster.

Its hour and minute hands are moving towards zero, that is, twelve o'clock.

When these two pointers overlap, something bad may happen.

"Trumen!" Lilis screamed, "Bomb!"

The 'craftsman' is able to recognize this creation.

Lilis gained a lot of knowledge about casting after being promoted to extraordinary.

Through Lilis' description, two nouns and a name immediately flashed through Truman's mind.

Bomb, alchemist.

Freddy.

Where is he!

Truman looked around, people coming and going, he was the focus of the crowd, everyone was looking at the weird things behind him.

Not everyone knows bombs, but there are also extraordinary insights. A man with a soldier temperament pointed at Truman and shouted.

"bomb!!!"

This caused panic, and the crowd began to panic, and Truman could not tell where Freddy was in a panic.

The alchemist’s control over the bomb, that is, the “clothing” technique, will not exceed 50 meters after the second-level “detonation” and the third-level “resonance” technique.

The crowd is so dense that it is already very far away 50 meters.

Not found.

It doesn't make sense to find it.

Truman thought, and cold sweat fell from his forehead.

Freddy dared not detonate bombs in public. Not only civilians but also nobles here. Detonating bombs here may be sent to the beheading stage of Shenwei Prison.

So, Freddy must be nearby. He followed Truman and waited for Truman to go to a place with few people to blow Truman to death.

Therefore, you cannot leave the crowd.

But it is not ruled out that Freddy was so crazy that even Truman and the crowd watching the fun were killed, otherwise what would the countdown be used for?

"Trumen, I can remove it, but I'm not familiar with its structure, so, maybe it can't be done before the countdown is over, do you believe me?"

"Now, there are only 3 minutes left in the countdown."

Lilis said these words very quickly, and she asked, "Do you believe me?" instead of "Do you need me?" Obviously, she had made up her mind to help Truman.

"I believe it." Truman said immediately, "but you only have 2 minutes and 50 seconds. If you don't finish it, you must leave."

"I ran very fast, and it only took 5 seconds to get to a safe place. Don't worry, I won't die with you. You have no relatives in this city, and someone will always need to bury you."

Lilis said calm and almost cruel words while working.

But Truman knew that she had a kind heart, otherwise she would not have been in a fatal danger with him here.

Truman couldn't see Lilis's working condition, but he thought of one thing.

"If I die, I owe you money, you can find it from the village of Roe, which is Anton's former residence, right in the wine cellar."

"Anton hopes that the person who gets this money can repay him with innocence. If you have the ability, you can try it. After all, killing his whole family and the person who killed me are the same person."

Ah? Lilis seemed to be stunned for a moment.

"But unless you are promoted to 'Legend', don't try to take revenge..."

"I won't." Lilis said without raising her head, "Revenge is not suitable for me. I can help you inherit your money and let them play a greater role."

"Very good." Truman exclaimed, "You can try to pass the news I said to the Emperor Girl or the Black Veil, and they may avenge me..."

At this time.

Truman suddenly stopped talking.

Because he saw Freddy in the crowd.

The Habsburg housekeeper stood in the crowd, staring at Truman coldly, like a hunter who was planning to hunt, and his prey had fallen into his trap.

Truman and Freddy looked at each other. At this moment, Truman felt a very extreme feeling, which may be called hatred.

This moment can be said to be the most vulnerable moment since Truman traveled through time, and was accidentally seized by Freddy.

At this time, the chaotic crowd had expanded into a circle with Truman as the center. There was no one within ten meters around Truman, and everyone was staring at the scene outside.

Now, even if the explosion occurs, it will not affect the crowd.

Freddy grasped the situation and showed a cruel smile, as if saying, "You're dead."

Bang!

Freddy opened her mouth and made an explosive lip shape.

He doesn't have to make a sound like a 'finger gun' when detonating the bomb.

But he liked this, and he wanted to see Truman's final despair in desperate situations.

This moment.

Truman only felt the hour hand on the bomb behind him jumping violently.

Lilis exclaimed.

"Run!" Truman gritted his teeth and growled.

But the next second, Lilis didn't run away and the bomb didn't explode.

Truman heard Lilis' relief voice, "Fortunately, it was done in time."

"What did you do?" Truman was surprised. The bomb was dismantled so quickly? In less than a minute.

"It's too late to disassemble. I changed part of its nature. I judged that it was the lead part, and it was true." Lilis said, "I haven't seen such a bomb made of spiritual matter, and I haven't seen it either."

I have only seen them in books, you are lucky..."

Before Lilis finished speaking, Truman turned around and hugged her, hugging her hard and tightly, almost embedding Lilis into her body.

"Thank you, Lilis, thank you, you saved my life." Truman said in Lilis's ear.

Lilis's personality is not used to this kind of closeness. She struggled and shook her head: "I just remember the money you owe me, I have to protect them..."

When Truman looked at the crowd again, he could no longer see Freddy, but several sheriffs rushed over from there.

"Let's go." Truman pulled Lilis away. He didn't want to be questioned by the sheriff, nor did he want to reveal Lilis's extraordinary identity.

...

"A young 'craftsman'?"

Freddy, still hiding in the dark, whispered.

He stared at Truman and Lilis, and focused on Lilis.

...

The basement of Habsburg.

The torch burns here.

It shines here as if it is a place of sacrifice.

Not Habsburg cannot provide electric light lighting.

Just to make potions, you must avoid the gaze of the ‘gods’.

The black veil was like a butcher, using an axe, a saw, and various utensils to turn the tentacles she dragged back from the Shenwei Prison into flesh paste.

Then, like a witch, he threw the meat paste into a big pot and steamed it. After twelve hours, these inexplicable things turned into a thick potion.

It was also at this time that she remembered her assistant.

"Where is Mr. Truman? I need Mr. Truman!" she said to Baron Habs Little.

Update~ It's really miserable recently. First, my blood pressure was extremely high, and I also had otolithia...
