Singed, the second-in-command of the Silco Family and also a specially appointed pharmacist, usually focuses on the development of Glimmer Potion and human experimentation. At the same time, he is also the game character from League of Legends—the Alchymist.
Durin never expected that this mad scientist, a titan in the field of pharmacology, would actually come to his door.
He was a figure who almost single-handedly supported the entire biochemical technology line of Zaun.
The famous Glimmer Potion was developed by him alone. He was the mastermind behind many accidents in Zaun and the birth of many heroes. The potions he developed were nightmares in the hearts of countless people.
However, in contrast to his madness in scientific research, Singed was actually quite a decent person in daily life.
As long as you asked, he didn't mind helping you with a small favor within his power. It was just that there were generally no good people in Zaun, so the things he did were usually described as aiding and abetting the wicked.
"Have everyone wait downstairs," Singed instructed the bald burly man standing at the door.
The bald burly man was stunned for a moment. He glanced at the mace at Durin's waist, the round shield on his back, and the black instrument bag. He said with a troubled expression, "Doctor, I'm just a rough fellow. I don't feel safe letting you stay alone with him! If anything happens to you, even ten of my heads wouldn't be enough for the boss to chop off."
Singed didn't answer directly. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Durin expressionlessly, asking, "Will you hurt me?"
Durin shook his head. He wasn't an idiot. If he took Singed hostage here, he probably wouldn't even make it out of the alley.
"I'll repeat myself one last time: everyone go downstairs. I have something to discuss privately with Mr. Durin," Singed said calmly, his sinister eyes scanning the bald burly man at the door.
"Or do you think my words are not as useful as Silco's?"
As soon as the words fell, the bald burly man's expression changed drastically. He immediately lowered his head and said respectfully, "I didn't mean that at all, Doctor! I'll get out right now."
With that, he bowed his head, backed out of the room, closed the door, and left the second floor of the residential building.
Hearing the footsteps gradually fade away, various guesses flashed through Durin's mind. He wanted to know exactly why the other party had sought him out.
But Durin knew that no matter the situation, even if the sky fell, he had to put on a confident front. He asked calmly, "What do you want with me?"
"I want to meet the master behind you," Singed said, sitting back in his chair with a determined look in his eyes.
?
Durin was dumbfounded.
Master? What master? Did I sign a deed of sale? How come I didn't know?
Seeing Durin's bewildered expression, Singed sneered. A confident smile appeared on his thin face as he crossed his arms over his chest and said with certainty, "Don't think about hiding it from me. I'm not like that toad Urada. How much knowledge could be in that tiny brain of his? I already know the secret you're carrying!"
?!
Knows my secret? Which secret?
The Darkin Styraatu? The character card system? Or... that I'm a transmigrator?
Durin's original confusion instantly turned into vigilance. He stared at Singed, his right hand instinctively reaching for the mace at his waist.
"Oh, don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions." Singed waved his hand, signaling Durin not to be impulsive. "As I said, Urada and I are old friends. When he treated your injuries yesterday, he took a vial of your blood, and that vial is now in my hands. I performed a test on your blood and got a shocking answer... have you met a Darkin recently?"
A trace of fanaticism flickered in Singed's restless, sinister eyes, and his tone was full of excitement when he mentioned the word "Darkin."
