Chapter 195 I Lost 5 Gold Coins for You

Lucas was awakened by a strong spicy smell.

He coughed and struggled to wake up. When he opened his eyes, he first saw the familiar ceiling of the infirmary. There were quite a few people sitting around his bed, except for a few teachers. Lilith crossed her arms and looked at him coldly. The princess next to him had a similar expression.

Lucas hesitated for a moment, then pulled back the quilt and took a look - great, there were pants, thanks to the kind teacher!

"You should know what I'm going to ask, Lucas." Lilith's cold voice came.

However, Lucas waved at Lilith and shook his hair in a pretentious manner, "No need to say more about gratitude, my friend. It's all in my heart!"

Lilith:?

"I found this in your dormitory, Lucas." Phoebe played with the glass reagent bottle in her hand, and the little monkey on her shoulder bared its teeth at Lucas.

"Did you put this potion in someone else's drink?" Instructor Hurst took over the conversation.

"I just think……"

"The answer is yes or no," Instructor Hurst interrupted sharply.

"……Yes."

"Why? Lucas? I thought we were still friends." Lilith's eyes flashed with disappointment.

"You still want to blame me?" Lucas' eyes widened in surprise. The disappointment in his eyes was even greater than Lilith's. "Just drink it! It's better than drinking... something else, right? Are you trying to blackmail me?"

"Student Lucas," Catherine said, "I hope you can explain clearly. This concerns whether you can continue to study at Goletia and your guardian allowance."

She really couldn't stand everyone's interrogation.

Lucas was obedient now. He almost didn't hesitate and poured it out - "That Daniel wants to hurt you."

Lilith's heart skipped a beat and she looked at Catherine.

"He wanted to take advantage of my job as a waiter to set a trap for Lilith. Humph - I'm not stupid!" Lucas shook his head proudly. He immediately poured the stuff Daniel gave him under the fence, and as a result, a large area of it withered and died the next day.

"You can refuse it." After listening to his story, Lilith was still not satisfied. Moreover, this idiot actually turned over the important evidence.

"He said that if I don't take it, someone else will naturally take it. So I think it's better for me to do it." Lucas scratched his head. At least he felt at ease when the thing was in his hands.

"Then why put other potions in Lilith's water? This is poisoning." Catherine looked cold.

"I, I'm not afraid that he has other plans that I don't know about." Lucas explained, "He saw me take action, at least he won't do it again. Who knows if he has a second bottle of medicine."

"Besides, what about poisoning? I don't admit it! It's just... ordinary people would be fine if they drank it! It's no different from syrup!" Lucas denied Catherine's accusation of poisoning.

He knew this because one time at lunch Bobby drank a large glass of water in which he had put medicine, and he observed him for a day, and nothing happened to the guy.

Phoebe blinked, unscrewed the bottle of medicine, sniffed it, and drank it amid the exclamations and attempts to stop the teachers in the room.

"Burp - how long have you been drinking this stuff?" Phoebe had already learned about Lucas's transformation from several other teachers and Simon.

“About a year and a half,” Lucas whispered.

"When did the fish tail appear?" Phoebe continued to ask.

"Not long after, the pharmacist adjusted the prescription about once a month. It was only this year that I started to see occasional changes..."

"Lucas, you should know what this is, right?" Phoebe's eyes became serious for once. "This is not a transformation potion. Although I don't know the specific effects, it is purifying your blood. You are reverting to your ancestral state."

...Reversion? It was already late at night, and Lilith's eyes, which had been half closed due to sleepiness, quietly opened wide. She raised her head and wanted to ask something, but the person next to her suddenly held her hand tightly.

She turned her head, but Catherine didn't look at her. Instead, she looked straight ahead and shook her head slightly.

Lilith moved her lips, but said nothing in the end. She lowered her eyes to look at the hem of her skirt again.

"...I know." Lucas was silent for a moment, then sneered and said indifferently, "What does it matter? He gave me the money, and I will bear the consequences myself."

And the price was not cheap. It was the one that earned him the most among all his extracurricular jobs. Everything has a price, and he had long understood this truth.

"What can you afford?" Teacher Wolfe's eyes were filled with disappointment and anger. "What are you going to do after you completely turn into a mermaid? The water on the east coast is already polluted. Are you going to stay in the Mirror Lake Library forever like Goletia?!"

Lucas thought of the stupid mermaid in the library and her fine teeth, and couldn't help shivering. Then he said irritably, "This is my personal matter, teacher. How does it have anything to do with what happened today? Anyway, I didn't poison people! I was saving people!"

He looked at Lilith and argued, "That guy wanted to give me five hundred gold coins to let me hurt you! Five hundred!! It's enough for me to buy a big house! I didn't waver! I was very nice, Lilith!"

So you'd better give it some thought!

"...It seems that reciting the Guardian's Oath every day is useful." Lilith rubbed her face and sighed.

"...That's all? You don't have anything to say to me? I lost five hundred gold coins because of you..." Lucas asked Lilith unwillingly. This guy is too unreasonable!

Lilith raised her eyebrows: "Do I have to thank you?" She actually poured out the potion Daniel gave her.

Catherine crossed her arms: "Do you think you are very smart?" It would be better to collect the five hundred gold coins in advance, at least they can be used as evidence.

Teacher Rebecca: "Do you still think of yourself as a hero?" Why are you playing the lonely and brave role of solving danger alone?

Teacher Hurst sneered, pointed at the two little girls and said to Lucas, "Learn from the real smart people, Lucas. When you encounter something like this, you should contact us first. Do the teachers in the school think they are dead in your eyes?"

"But now, you say that Daniel murdered someone. What witnesses and physical evidence do you have?"

Lucas, stupid.
