After receiving Druna's promise, Shylock and Zoe left overnight on two unicorns.
By the time they walked out of the Forbidden Forest, it was already early morning the next day.
Zoe yawned and shamefully skipped class to catch up on her sleep.
As for Sherlock, for the sake of credits, he could only continue to take Professor Flitwick's spell analysis class.
At the end of the day, after earning five credits, he borrowed the Crown of Wisdom again.
Take classes, practice life skills, play a group match every few days, and occasionally explore the Forbidden Forest with Zoe...
Sherlock, who had always been accustomed to wandering around and taking risks, found his life rarely stable.
And this kind of life seems not bad either!
…
Time flies, and more than a month later in a distant hometown, Sherlock is walking alone on the way to Longmen Inn.
His set of weak energy skill books and lich phylacteries were finally sold.
The skill book cost 1.22 million, and the life box cost 2.6 million, all of which were rounded up by a wealthy necromancer.
Originally, he wanted to exchange the Lich's phylactery for the Tree Barrier, but the offer was too high and harsh, and he couldn't resist.
After paying 8,000 gold coins for insurance and 2,000 gold coins for expedited express delivery, the beautiful elf waiter at the inn carefully took over the three items under the supervision of the other two people.
"Mr. Sherlock, please confirm the consignee information again. If there is any loss caused by your incorrect filling in the information, our Longmen Escort Bureau will not pay compensation." The elf waiter asked solemnly.
Looking at the shipping costs and insurance, God knows how much these three things are worth.
If something goes wrong, I probably won't be able to pay her back if I sell her a hundred times, so she can't help but be disrespectful.
"Icewind Valley in the North, Ten Towns - Targos, Salty Dog Bar, Miss Id Ghost King, no problem." Sherlock nodded.
"Okay, then we will send it to you according to this address. The certificate has arrived in your mailbox. Please check it."
Sherlock went out and checked the mailbox. He felt that there was no problem and left Longmen Inn.
Next, he went to the player market in the east of the city and bought two books of Diamond Wood for 580,000 gold coins, which also came with a book of Activated Plants.
Then there are the materials for making the Forgetting Potion.
After practicing in the Room of Requirement for so long, his success rate finally reached over 70%, and he could start cutting leeks.
There is nothing good in this shabby place like Far Country, but there is still a talent for playing with flowers and plants.
Therefore, the medicinal materials here are quite complete, and some particularly rare materials Sherlock had purchased from other cities as early as a month ago.
So far, he has collected a total of nearly 2 million yuan of materials. Whether he will be successful or bankrupt depends on this.
Three hours later, Sherlock, who had filled up the entire Singer's storage space, could not wait to go back to school to refine the medicine.
Halfway through, with nothing to do, he contacted Ge Erpang again.
"Boss, this is the third time you've asked me this week."
"Three times a week isn't much."
“But it’s only Tuesday!!!”
"Really? I remember that every time I came to see you, you were very happy!"
"If you didn't ask me to buy a tree enchantment to come, I think I would be quite happy."
"Can't you really receive it?"
"I really can't get it. This kind of skill book is not circulating in the market at all. It occasionally appears. You probably won't be able to accept the premium of two to three million. I advise you to wait."
"I have been waiting for almost two months. According to the current progress, ordinary players will have to wait at least two more months if they want to clear the level 50 nightmare dungeon."
"As a player in the top ten in the combat power rankings, you can just find someone to clear the dungeon yourself."
"A hundred-person team copy is too troublesome."
"Then just wait patiently. I will definitely call you as soon as there is news." After saying that, Ge Erpang hung up the contact directly. He was so annoyed that he even wanted to block the other party.
"Form your own group..." Sherlock muttered to himself in the air for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, let's finish the things at hand first."
…
Half an hour later, Sherlock, who returned to school, dove into the Room of Requirement.
Refining the Forgetting Potion is not simple. Just the early material processing requires a lot of time and energy, not to mention that he bought 2 million medicinal materials at once.
After working on and off for a week, all the medicinal materials were finally processed, leaving only the last and most important maple balsam.
Maple balsam is a lumpy solid. It must be soaked in boundless water, absorb enough moonlight, and turn into liquidambar juice before it can be used.
Generally, this process takes two to three weeks.
Sherlock soaked the maple balsam in it as soon as he came back from a distant country. He took a look last night but there was no sign of it melting. He probably still needs to wait for a while.
While waiting, Sherlock played a few more games.
Facing everyone who was obviously weaker than him, he easily won the victory by relying only on his blue frog form and golden shuriken.
Currently, he ranks fourth in the points rankings behind Xing Henxue who is first, Gui Li who is second, and Ruiwen who is third.
The points gap between the four of them is not big, and it will probably take the next two rounds of competition if they want to pull away.
After the game that day, Sherlock finally received a reply from the Harpers Guild, which was about the secret letter from the Red Robe Mage Guild.
With the support of a large organization like the Harpers Guild, the task of deciphering secret messages was of course left to the organization.
And since it concerns the Red Robe Mage Association, this time the help is free.
"What did the letter say?" Zoe asked curiously.
Sherlock frowned: "The letter asked Rahman to cooperate with a person's actions..."
"Who? What action?"
"The letter didn't say anything, I just know that the person is in the academy."
"You mean someone has sneaked into the academy." Zoe questioned: "It's impossible. If there are outsiders sneaking in, it's impossible that Lao Deng's barrier won't be revealed."
"What if it's not an outsider!"
“It’s not outsiders…” Zoe also thought of it: “You mean there are students and teachers from the academy…”
"Not necessarily, aren't there people from the other two schools now?"
"Yes, they are very likely!" Zoe still didn't want to believe that her classmates and teachers would betray the academy, especially if they would join the Red Robe Mage Association, which she hated most.
"I just don't know what the action mentioned in the letter is." Sherlock thought.
"No matter what it is, I won't let them succeed."
"I'm going to Freano to tell Del Luna the news." Sherlock has already realized the seriousness of this matter: "Zoe, please give this letter to Principal Dumbledore."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Zoe took the letter and left.
"Remember to hand it over to Dumbledore personally."
"I know!" With that said, Zoe had already ran away.
