The sunlight pours in at noon and sprinkles on the soil, revealing a dry smell that permeates the summer vacation and makes people sleepy due to the heat.
"You guys go to the Golden Ivory Tavern and have a rest. I will find you after I finish my work." After throwing a bag of gold coins to Arnold at the gate of Morning Mist Town, Downton rode straight to the fruit shop.
"You're so prosperous now!" The boss weighed the apples. When he saw a group of people nodding and bowing to Downton, he couldn't help but tease, "Can you buy more?"
"Can't eat it." Carrying the red apples he picked, Downton walked into the Wolf and Spice grocery store.
Xia Luo was lying sideways on the lounge chair and was taking a nap. When she heard the noise, she opened her eyes. When she saw it was Downton, she smiled and said, "Young man, you are here!"
"Sorry, something happened yesterday." Downton scratched his hair. He didn't know why, but he felt awkward every time he saw Xia Luo.
"It's okay, just wait a moment." Xia Luo stood up and walked to the backyard.
"There seems to be something wrong with this woman. Why is she always wearing a cloak?" The curiosity in Homer's heart grew like a vine. If Downton hadn't liked her, the grimoire would have used violence to explore.
"I heard that she has a strange disease that prevents her from seeing the sun." Downton waved his hand to fan the wind, still dripping with sweat. "Her cloak must be a magic item, right? Otherwise, she will die of heat."
"Well, there is a magic circle of natural wind engraved on it. Putting it on, it is like bathing in a clear spring, very cool." As a large encyclopedia, not to mention being particularly good at magic, the Grimoire admits that it does not exist in this world.
Unrecognizable magic item.
"I really want one!" Downton said casually. After so many years of hardship and a little bit of heat, it was not a problem for him at all.
Without letting Downton wait long, Charlotte walked out with a medicine box, placed it on the counter and opened it. She took out five brown bottles the size of inkwells and arranged them in a row.
"Man of Steel? So this is the dragon-slaying potion you mentioned. Yes, being able to prepare a potion of this level proves that you are qualified as a great potion master." The magic book did not hide its identity, but actively projected text to communicate.
.
Homer is testing. If Charlotte covets the grimoire, Downton can be given up early.
"We are injured and cannot make an improved version, so we can only give you the normal potion." Xia Luo picked up an apple and threw it on the magic book, "Great magician? We are not interested in making potions, but
Just passing the time out of boredom."
"If those guys who forget about food and sleep and are still unable to be promoted to the Great Potion Master hear these words, they will be so angry that their brains will boil." The magic book was deliberately left on the counter and approached Xia Luo.
Charlotte didn't even bother to look at it. She took an apple from the fruit plate and threw it to Downton, then sat back on the recliner.
"How much?" The brown bottle was to protect it from sunlight, which would cause the potion to deteriorate. Downton picked up a bottle and unscrewed the cap.
Inside is a viscous light blue liquid, and metallic steel sharks can be seen floating in it.
"Young man, don't let me drive you out." Xia Luo's voice was still lazy. "I said I'm sending it to you, I'm sending it to you."
"Thank you!" Charlotte's gift was very expensive. Downton didn't know what to do.
The Body of Steel potion is known as one of the five most powerful defense potions. After drinking it, a layer of steel skin will be formed on the user's body within three minutes. Even the dragon's burning breath cannot break the defense.
harm the body.
This potion does not have any side effects, and the steel skin formed is soft in texture and does not affect combat movements at all, so it is also extremely expensive, costing one million gold coins each.
After all, drinking it at a critical moment is equivalent to having one more way to save your life.
"Now even if you are in a duel with Barnetta or even against Liszt, you will be able to fight." Homer breathed a sigh of relief. Downton was too weak. If he met a genius like Hannah, he would be completely defeated.
Type of flash sale.
"Is it a perfect level?" Looking at the clear color, Downton estimated that the efficacy of the medicine was over 90%.
Xia Luo smiled and said nothing. The things she sent out must be the best.
Downton took one bottle and put it in the first aid bag on his waist, and asked Homer to put the rest into the war space. He actually wanted to buy some for self-defense, but he didn't know how to say it. Charlotte was injured, and he
I don’t want the other person to work too hard.
"If you still want it, just prepare it yourself!" Xia Luo tapped the medicine box with her chin, "There is a medicine formula for the Man of Steel in it, and I will give it to you."
"Why is this so embarrassing?" Downton subconsciously refused Charlotte's gift. You must know that potion formulas are always the treasures of pharmacists. Let alone giving them away, even if the apprentices take a look, they will go crazy. Only the closest and most trusted ones will
Only people can share it.
"Do you look down on us?" Xia Luo was angry, "We never take advantage of others. If we accept your magic energy extraction potion formula, we will give you items of equal value."
"That's not what I meant." Downton quickly explained.
"Exchanges between potion masters are normal, put it away." Homer was not being pretentious. His big bronze hand stuffed twelve pieces of parchment filled with formulas into Downton's arms.
During this period of time, he personally prepared potions and studied in the large library. While Downton deepened his understanding of potions, he also accumulated a lot of questions.
The whole afternoon was like a stream in the mountains and forests, gurgling away in the discussion.
"I think you are no worse than the Harvest Goddess of the Beast Tribe, and you are completely worthy of the title of Wise Wolf." Looking at the dense and elegant handwriting on the parchment, Downton sighed. Xia Luo is indeed a great potion master.
, wisdom, intelligence, help him more than Homer.
Often with just a few simple words, Charlotte can summarize the content to be discussed clearly and vividly, making Downton enlightened.
"Bang!" Although the projected text was full of disdain, Homer understood that a character like Charlotte was definitely at the professor level. Among the nine empires, he was also the target of invitations from the major royal magic academies.
The salary for a class is at least more than 100,000 gold coins, and you can't hire one. Anyone who is qualified to attend the class must be a genius.
"Young man, your understanding and talent are both good." As the understanding deepened, especially after knowing that Downton had successfully configured the magic energy extraction improvement potion, Xia Luo was full of praise for his talent, "You will definitely be able to use magic energy to extract magic energy."
He has made great achievements in medicine."
Downton felt a little embarrassed and scratched his hair.
"What's the use of becoming a great potion master? Is it possible to spend your whole life locked up in a laboratory doing research?" Homer was not happy, "Downton's journey should be the stars, the sea, and the endless planes!"
"It's too far-fetched. Let's become the mayor first, and then we can save our lives!" Downton didn't take the words of the grimoire to heart. He was too young to be the mayor of Morning Mist Town, but he wasn't.
No chance.
With Downton's current status, he can already extract some words from those servants. After all, they are the servants of a master. They have seen the world and know a lot.
The Duke of Westland has too many daily chores to care about the appointment of a town mayor. Besides, Redwood County is the young master's territory, and he has the final say in everything here.
After Downton established a relationship with Dofink, he could ask him to give him a few good words. Of course, he had to pay for it. A mayor's position, Li's servant said, would probably not cost more than a hundred thousand gold coins, so he couldn't get it.
!
In addition, you also need some good 'work' resume. To sum it up in one sentence, you must pay enough taxes to the lord during your term of office. The more the excess is, the better the evaluation will be.
Downton knew that the servant's words might be exaggerated and incomplete, but he finally had a general goal and no need to worry about it.
"Young man, it's getting late." Xia Luo inserted the quill into the ink bottle and stretched out. Under the sunset that shone into the grocery store, it was as beautiful as a picture scroll.
"I'm taking my leave." Downton knew that Charlotte was expelling guests tactfully, so he got up, packed his things, and went to join his cronies.
"Interesting boy!" Charlotte looked at Downton's back and smiled.
Because it was already dinner time, the tavern was bustling with people and smelling of alcohol. When Downton walked in, he couldn't help but wrinkle his nose.
The cronies occupied two tables near the high platform. While drinking, the gypsy dancers danced and whistled wildly. However, when they saw Downton approaching, they immediately restrained their indulgent attitude and stood up hurriedly.
Get up and say hello.
"Overseer!"
"grown ups!"
The performance of the cronies stunned the adventurers around them, and they all looked at Downton in astonishment. Some of them had seen him before, and discussions began to spread.
"Have you eaten enough?" Downton glanced at the messy table with cups and plates, and nodded, "Arnold, you go and pay, we have to go back to the Dagger Mine tonight."
The cronies thought they could spend the night at Golden Ivory tonight and find a prostitute to entertain themselves, but it all came to nothing, but no one dared to complain.
"How can I ask you to pay for it? I'll treat you to this meal to make up for the poor reception last time!" The tavern owner came over with a smile on his face and chatted with Downton.
The cronies didn't expect such a scene. After looking at each other for a few times, they fell in love with Downton. Judging from his relationship, there were people treating him wherever he went. It seemed that everyone still underestimated him. How could this kid be possible?
Just a civilian?
"No need." Downton couldn't figure out the tavern owner's intention, and he didn't want to take advantage of it. "Arnold, give me the money."
"Please let me invite you." The boss's attitude was very earnest. He pressed the money bag in the barbarian's hand and refused to accept it.
Before Downton could say his refusal again, an annoying voice penetrated his ears.
"Everyone gets out of here within three minutes. I want to book the place tonight." Liszt kicked open the door of the tavern and walked towards the bar while giving orders, "Where's the boss? Come out, I want to entertain a few distinguished guests. According to this order
Checklist for food preparation." (To be continued...)
