The Blood Is Still Warm - The Devil's Rift Chasing Battle
We came to the Alchemist's Industrial Co., Ltd. again. Although an hour had not passed yet, the lady at the counter told a few people that Mr. Lan Jue had completed the purification, and knew that he had come to see him before, and was currently waiting in the reception room.
"Ah, thank you." Alexander followed the receptionist's guidance to the reception room.
A middle-aged man with light blue short hair wearing a clean off-white robe sat on a brown animal skin sofa, slowly sipping on a cup of coffee. His sharp eyes matched the handsome middle-aged Bakato face.
The face is enough to attract the attention of immature young girls.
"Hiz, are these all your friends? I thought it would take more than ten years for you to have so many friends with your personality." Mr. Lan Jue joked in a serious-sounding voice.
"Teacher, don't laugh at me, I have serious business." Heath looked unhappy.
"Then what's going on?" Lan Jue put down the cup.
"My friend wants to entrust me with refining a potion, but I cannot do it with my ability. I know someone who can only be refined by a teacher. There is one more thing, teacher. I have to leave Guzhuo Town temporarily.
"
Alexander handed the box to Fageni, and then took out the prescription. "We bought a precious potion formula, but it is a bit too difficult for Heath to configure it. She highly recommends coming to you for advice."
"The copied ancient memory scroll." Lan Jue took the drawing and looked at it and said: "The cost of making one bottle is about forty linseys. If there is enough white dragon's blood, it can be reduced by more than half, or other
The main material containing dragon power will also work."
"We don't have the white dragon's blood..." Alexander looked at Servin, took out the dragon crystal and continued: "But we have recruited a new Dragon Vein Warlock team member, and we plan to use this potion for him this time."
"The quality is good, it should be the dragon crystal of an adult dragon." Lan Jue admired the crystal core in Alexander's hand. "It is effective for the boy who has awakened the dragon vein to take the main ingredient directly, but other things will hinder the absorption."
"So good?" Moeng Nan secretly rejoiced.
"Well, is that so...Thank you for your advice." Alexander sighed after spending a lot of money on the blueprints.
"Hiz, I am a person who distinguishes between public and private affairs. I help my younger generation out of my responsibility for public affairs, but it's just trivial things for me privately. The Alchemist Industrial Bank should have stored a lot of the white dragon's blood. It just depends on whether you have enough financial resources."
"Ah, in that case, we still have some money. How much does a bottle of potion cost?" Alexander asked.
"The value of this scroll will not be less than two bottles nor more than three bottles. If you plan to let me refine it, I can calculate it based on the cost price. This is what you planned from the beginning, right?" Lan Jue smiled.
"Then why are you so embarrassed? The processing fee must be paid to you." Alexander took out the source crystal card from before, and then he and his teammates put together the 80 Lindsays given to him in the previous Leopard mission. "This is exactly 120 Lindsays.
The price for three bottles is just right. How long does it take to refine?"
"It's impossible for us alchemists to work for nothing." Hitz actually spoke for the master now.
"What I mean is, since I have used this scroll, it will not be in vain. If you pay twenty linsey, I can refine three bottles, and the rest will be calculated at cost. A mixed-race boy does not need this."
"Ah. Is that so? Thank you so much." Alexander returned the other people's money and prepared to give it to Sixty Lindsay. "Then just four bottles."
"I'm really grateful." Moeng Nan said with some respect on his face.
"Thank you so much, teacher." Hitz felt that the situation was a bit embarrassing.
"Hiz, come with me to the alchemy room to start. With the help of assistants, it will be done within two hours. You guys wait here." After using this scroll, Lan Jue stood up and went out.
"Yes." Heath saluted and followed him.
"I understand, I'll help you." Alexander watched the two people leave.
Fagni waited for the two of them to walk out and returned the box to Alexander. "Twenty linseys for three bottles, forty linseys plus one bottle, the cost price is 160 linseys. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you are making a lot of money."
Now." When he first bought this scroll, Fageni thought that he would only be able to refine one or two bottles at most, but now he was amazed by Lan Jue's grandeur.
Alexander put away the dragon crystal and took the box and said: "Seven, you don't know how you will react after eating this. Let's talk about it on the way."
"I don't have any objection. I just took advantage." Moeng Nan shook his head.
"It's not like taking advantage. In the future, when you divide the cores of the Origin, you can just divide them by a few." Alexander found a place to sit down and began to review the elemental harmony.
Moeng Nan borrowed the staff from Sophia given by the vice president.
"I seem to understand what this is." Moeng Nan waved the fire stick after tinkering for a while. "This is a magic staff."
"Ah?" Fageni didn't care about anything else and looked back. "Isn't this a big iron stick specially used to hit people?"
"This core of origin is used to increase the amplification of the fire element." Moeng Nan dispersed his wind spell: "But this thing's job is probably really frustrating, and most people can't lift it up.
"
"What a wonderful stick, what a pity." Fageni flicked the "staff" with his fingers, making a crisp sound.
"It would be nice if it was a glove, but I don't know how to use fire spells." Moengnan handed the staff to Fageni.
Sophia, who had nothing to do, saw Alexander reviewing elemental blending aside, so she walked up to her and said, "Alexander, I'm still interested in you, can you do it again?"
"Ah, okay, it's just idle time anyway." Alexander began to try to explain elemental harmony to Sophia again.
"There is such a thing, I also want to learn it." After hearing this, Mo Engnan came over.
An hour later, Hitz, who was dirty because he was prohibited from using spells during the attack, and Mr. Lanjue, who was clean, came to the reception room with four bottles of cold white potion. "Dragon Power Potion,
It will lose effectiveness soon and there will be some pain when taking it.”
"How about it? My teacher is great, isn't he?" Hitz began to brag about his teacher's alchemy skills.
"Understood, thank you for your help." Alexander put away his notes and drank a bottle of potion.
Lan Jue was noncommittal about this. "Dragon power potion can be taken up to the seventh stage, at which time it will theoretically become a humanoid dragon. Every three bottles is a stage, and the next one must be of a higher level than the previous one, and this is only the first stage.
A stage of dragon power potion."
"Does it mean we need more advanced dragon-related materials?" Alexander hasn't felt the pain yet.
"Okay, thank you." Sophia also took a bottle and drank it.
"It's amazing, you are worthy of Mr. Lan Jue." Moeng Nan was delighted when he thought that he would be able to ingest the dragon crystal later.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the two of them, Fageni picked up a bottle of potion and felt the cold inside. [It would be great if there was such a bottle in summer.] He thought like this and drank it.
Hitz didn't mind the cold or the taste, so she poured a bottle of potion directly into her stomach. The severe pain made her clenched her fists, but she managed to hold it back.
Fagni leaned against the wall to prevent himself from having too obvious convulsions. "Does that mean you have to drink twenty-one bottles to reach consummation? That would be too expensive."
"What I just said is the information revealed by the scroll. The authenticity cannot be determined yet. You need to find the drawings of other dragon power potions in the future to judge." Lan Jue took out an almost transparent card from the dimensional bag.
, exactly the same as what Alexander picked up in the tower area before...
"Here is the rudimentary refining method of this potion. Due to the limitations of the ancient memory scroll itself, it cannot be fully written. However, the alchemist master can deduce the correct formula through a sufficient number of experiments."
"I think that by the time you can kill a young dragon, it will be enough to refine it." Lan Jue handed the card to Alexander and turned around to leave.
"Oh..." Alexander took the card and said, "Thank you very much. If there is a chance in the future, we will definitely cooperate with you again."
"Mr. Lan Jue, can I ask a question?" Moeng Nan, the only one who had not drank the potion, caught up with him.
"Excessive teaching is not a good thing." Lan Jue opened the door and left, and from various aspects, several people had taken advantage of him.
"Teacher, I'll be back later, goodbye!" Hitz shouted with difficulty, raising his voice.
"Greedy, greedy." Moeng Nan said to himself. Fortunately, he was just asking anyway, so he probably didn't make anyone unhappy.
The pain lasted for about a quarter of an hour. Except for Sophia who felt a little tired, everyone else felt refreshed. She probably needed to exercise.
"By the way, what are we going to do next?" The pain in his body gradually subsided, and Fageni carefully began to relax his tense body.
"Purchase things and then leave quickly?" Moeng Nan watched them endure the pain for a quarter of an hour and felt very bored.
"Let's prepare everything for the next long trip." Sophia said with a tired look.
"Let's go buy some things separately and hit the road. There's no good in delaying it any longer." Alexander took out the banknotes and started making a list, writing down the daily necessities that needed to be replenished.
"Let's see if there's any team coming along. Maybe we can get a ride." Fageni left the wall and tried to walk a few steps before suggesting.
"Then let's go without further delay." Sofia thought this was a good idea, and the group of people spoke to the lady at the counter and left the Alchemist Industrial Co.
"Then I'll look for someone who can take us." Fageni looked at the sky. It would be best to find a caravan or a mercenary group on the same road to go with us. There are more people and it is safer."
"Then I won't go looking for people to go with me. I think it will scare them away. I'll go buy some water and supplies for you." Moengnan took away part of the list that Alexander tore open.
"Scared away? Why?" Hitz asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that I teamed up with a few teams in the past, and then they were destroyed and I was left alive, and the others stopped teaming up with me." Mo Engnan seemed a little sad, and I don't know if it was true or not.
Fake.
"Then you are so miserable." The naive Hitz didn't think so much.
"Indeed, I felt very sad every time and even burned them all with my own hands. No more talking, I went shopping." Moeng Nan took the note and walked away.
Fageni decided to go to the mercenary industrial company to see if there was such a commission. At the same time, he asked other adventurers or mercenaries if they had walked over to the caravan. He also said goodbye to the remaining few people for the time being.
"Then how about Alexander and I go to the trading house and take a look? Maybe there is a caravan that is ready to leave here." Sofia thought for a while and thought that most caravans seemed to gather in the trading house, so Alexander handed the rest of the paper to Hitz.
Please ask her to prepare.
Judging from the map, Guzhuo Town where several people are located is on the Ndigong side of the junction of the Ndigong Kingdom and the Ankuikku Kingdom. A little further to the west is the Luori Province of the Ankuikku Kingdom. Although it is
In the plain area, Ankuiku does not rely on agriculture, but mining and metallurgical industries. Therefore, the plain area of Luo Ruixing Province, which is not fertile enough, is dominated by farms and small towns, and there are only four large cities in total.
There are many supply points along the way. If you don't want to deliver something, you don't have to go to Kazanmanla City. It's just a drop-in. Luori Province is the same as the Empire's Mida Plain, and there are no monsters or bandits.
That is to say, there is only a short section of the road where there is a possibility of encountering monsters. As for the caravan, only the horse-drawn carriages stop at the trading stable and the unloading yard, so the two of them did not ask whether there was any caravan that passed by.
And Fageni discovered that there was a commission from a small businessman going to the Luori Province of the Kingdom of Anguiku that no one had accepted yet, because it spanned the country and the reward was not high.
The content of the commission requires a team of five people to protect two carriages, and the reward is twenty linseys. It is very uneconomical for other adventurers and mercenaries, unless they are on the way. And this client can leave at any time and go to a certain hotel.
Just find him.
Anyway, it was just a drop-in, so twenty Lindsays were considered as free money. Fagni took the notice off the wall and accepted it. He then accepted the commission in the name of the Thirteenth Mad Wolf Mercenary Group.
The last five people met in the hotel lobby at noon as agreed.
"I found a commission to escort a small caravan to the province of Luorui. It happened to be on the way. You can leave at any time. The reward is a full twenty linseys." Fageni told everyone the location of the hotel.
"That's great, let's go over there now." Alexander never thought that Fageni was so useful.
"Good things, all good things. Let's leave today." Moeng Nan bought not many types but many things. Next to him were several large travel bags filled with various daily necessities and drinking water.
"That's fine, it's a ride anyway. It's pretty good that we can also catch a ride." Sophia praised.
"And it doesn't cost any money, and you can make it for free," Heitz added.
"Let's go, let's go. I hope the price of medicines in Luorui Province won't be so high." Fageni took the lead and walked towards the hotel.
The five people went to the hotel hungry, where the businessman and one of his boys were having dinner.
Alexander stepped forward to reveal his identity and purpose of coming, and ordered something to eat by the way, and the merchant immediately said that he was here to treat him to the meal.
"Good things are all good things." Moeng Nan felt that he had lucked out.
Sophia sat down silently and looked at the client of this trip.
The five of them had a meal in the hotel lobby. Alexander had a careful talk with him, and finally decided to set off at 1 o'clock in the afternoon because this would allow them to spend the night at the nearest farm in the evening.
After dinner, the businessman and the young boy went to prepare. The five of them still had three-quarters of an hour to do something else.
Fageni decided to blow the wind and wait for the caravan to set off.
She went to the nearby commercial street to see if there were any books to buy. She looked around and bought a few autobiographies of heroes to pass the time. There were no special books worth spending money on. After buying them, she returned to the meeting point.
Waiting to go.
Hitz walked to the alchemist to see if there were any medicinal materials he needed, and then to see if there were any prescriptions. Finally, he went to talk to the owner of the house he rented.
Alexander first sent Moengnan back to the hotel to check out and work as a coolie, while he helped the merchant and the clerk prepare. By the way, he asked what kind of business they were doing and whether there was anything that needed attention on the way. The merchant was also a real person.
He did the dirty work with a young man. When Alexander helped, he knew that this man was an ore reseller. Although it was a serious business, his reputation would definitely not be good.
A quarter of an hour passed after Alexander, the businessman and the boy finished all the work, and the others gathered according to the original time. She should actually be more careful, because there was a possibility that Moeng Nan could run away on her own.
"Okay, it's almost time to get ready to set off." Alexander directed Fageni and Moengnan to put daily necessities and supplies on the carriage.
"It's time to go." Hitz didn't express much emotion. The past few years in Guzhuo Town were only a short period of time for a high elf with a life span of at least six to seven hundred years.
Because it is a cargo carriage, up to four people can sit on the load-bearing shed at the rear of the carriage. However, the speed of the carriage is almost the same as walking. "Let's go, see you in Guzhuo Town." Of course, if the last person sits in the carriage,
Bangshang can sit down even if his legs are hanging down...
Fageni thought for a while and decided to walk on the ground. Moengnan, who suddenly gave himself the title of melee monan, also wanted to walk on the ground. Alexander also wanted to investigate the surrounding situation and did not get on the carriage.
Hitz put the earth elemental elf down and walked alongside Alexander, while he sat at the back of the carriage and watched the scenery. An elemental elf with a pair of wings that no one else could see quietly followed the archer.
It is an elemental life that can only appear in a thick earth element environment. It is very weak. Moreover, elemental elves only have pure emotions. They cannot do things like detecting, chatting, and fighting for the contractor. But the contractor can borrow the power of the elves to rule.
Control elements in the environment.
And Sofia opened a novel she bought and read it quietly, but the content was not as interesting as she thought. Soon, Sofia, who was bored, and Hitz, who was equally bored, began to discuss how to use spells efficiently in alchemy to increase the purification speed.
