Three days later, the first batch of maple balsam prepared previously had completely melted.
In order to make a living, Sherlock once again locked himself in the Room of Requirement and made a potion of forgetfulness.
With the experience of the last time, being promoted to Grandmaster, and the power of fate blessing from time to time, the quality of the finished product has been significantly improved this time.
After consuming all the liquidambar juice, he made a rough estimate and estimated that he would earn around 800,000 to 900,000 yuan this time.
In a one-month cycle, nearly 45% of the profit is considered a huge profit in the game Forgotten Kingdom.
But this business probably won't last long.
Forgetting potions made by other players have appeared on the market, and the prices of raw materials have also begun to rise slightly.
Sherlock thought for a moment and did not choose to continue acquiring materials.
After all, after advancing to the second-level profession, he will definitely be busy upgrading;
The third trial of the Triwizard Tournament is going to the ruins in Cyre.
In a short period of time, I probably won't have such a long period of free time again.
After disposing of the forgotten potion in his hand, the quality of the wine he sealed in the wine cellar gradually approached its peak.
On the seventeenth day after being sealed and stored, when Sherlock opened the fifth barrel of wine, a wonderful aroma of wine suddenly wafted out.
The aroma of this wine contains both the strong aroma of ice fruit and the refreshing aroma of edelweiss seeds. The two alternately stimulate your sense of smell. Sherlock couldn't help but moan after just one sniff.
System prompt: You have successfully created a new cooking method, please name it.
System prompt: You have produced 100-quality cooking and successfully promoted to cooking master.
System prompts: Meet all prerequisites, obtain approval from the Book of Truth, and start the second-level career promotion mission.
System prompt: You have been recognized by the Book of Truth and unlocked the permission to use the Book of Truth.
Finally accomplished! Sherlock breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he knew that he was very sure of being promoted to Grandmaster this time, he was still a little worried before he actually advanced.
And once it fails, all his subsequent plans will be affected.
Fortunately, fortunately it was successful.
Song of Ice and Fire: Quality 100, strength 2 after drinking, agility 2, perception 2, physical recovery 5 points/second, magic recovery 30 points/second, duration 2 hours.
With a total of 6 temporary attributes, high physical and magic recovery, and 2 hours of battery life, Song of Ice and Fire's bonus effect on combat is extremely significant, which is worthy of Sherlock's long-term efforts.
After unpacking and bottling all the remaining wine, we got a total of 216 bottles of A Song of Ice and Fire.
Taking a look at the wines of the same quality on the market, with the attributes of A Song of Ice and Fire, it should be no problem to sell a bottle for 5,000 gold coins. If you sell them all, you can almost even out the research and development costs.
For subsequent production, the only cost is material and labor costs, and the profit should be okay.
Moreover, wine, especially good wine, as a daily consumable, has always had a huge market demand.
Many people even drink alcohol without caring about attribute bonuses, just to satisfy their taste buds.
So, if Sherlock wanted to, he could actually make a fortune just by brewing A Song of Ice and Fire.
It's just that there are so many interesting adventures waiting for him in this world, so why would he be willing to stop in one place?
Now that his cooking skills have finally reached the master level and all prerequisite tasks for the Book of Truth have been completed, he can finally explore the secrets of this book.
Opening the Book of Truth, a line of words slowly appeared on the crumpled parchment.
Second-level career advancement mission (Preacher): Pass the test of the Book of Truth
With a thought in Sherlock's mind, the singer on his finger automatically turned into a quill.
What tests do I need to pass?
As soon as he wrote the last word, the Book of Truth shone with a white light and swallowed him inside.
The next moment, he found himself in darkness.
And right in front of him, in a gray-white fog, a picture slowly emerged.
Looking at the figures in the picture, it seems like a group of elves are fighting.
Then, the story in the picture gradually unfolded. Sherlock, who had made a detailed investigation into the history of the elves, soon discovered that what was described seemed to be the scene of the First Crown War.
More than 20,000 years ago, the elves immigrated to Evermeet Island and occupied part of what would become the Moonshadow Islands, and took the first step towards what later generations would call elven high magic.
This powerful arcane magic allowed the elves to compete with the dragons and defeat them for the first time in history.
Armed with powerful magic and numerous allies, the elves built huge cities and powerful kingdoms.
But they don't know that the biggest threat comes from within their own clan.
The real spark that angered the elves is unknown. All Sherlock can know today is the Crown War, which lasted for three thousand years and included all elven regimes.
In this war, all kingdoms were destroyed, and countless elves wasted their lives needlessly in the war.
For using the power of the fallen gods, the elf goddess Ayushna (now Lolth) was punished, and the black elves of Ilythri were exiled to the Underdark and became the drow we now know.
Three thousand years of history passed by in a flash. With the end of the last Crown War, the elves gradually weakened, and humans began to step onto the stage of Faerûn.
Seven fishing villages on the Sword Coast united to protect themselves and established mankind's first country-Netheril.
They learned how to use magic from the elves, and later discovered the Nether scrolls that contained the secrets of magic, and a powerful magic empire rose accordingly.
Netheril was destined to become incredibly powerful, but also destined to collapse out of pride.
The people of Netherese started a protracted magical war with the phaerim because of their misuse of magic.
In the end, because the genius great arcanist Karsus attempted to steal the power of the goddess of magic, the magic network collapsed, and all magic in the world was temporarily ineffective.
Without the supply of magic power, the cities in the sky also fell. Only three cities landed safely with the help of the reborn magic goddess Mystra.
Since then, humanity's largest empire has perished, leaving only crumbling ruins and the magically-created desert now known as Aenook.
The rest of history will be the dispute between humans and elves.
Since the end of the Crown War, the Elf Kingdom re-established in the Cormanthor Forest has had conflicts with the human immigrants in the surrounding valleys over the ownership of the forest.
This kind of contradiction is common in all parts of Faerûn.
On the surface, they are fighting for the ownership of the forest, but in fact, the two races are fighting for the dominance of Faerûn.
At that time, many people thought that a large-scale war would break out between the two races sooner or later, but in the end, there was a turning point due to the compromise of the then Elf King Eltargrim.
Together with the leaders of the valley, he formulated the Vale Pact between the elves of Cormanthor and the residents of the valley, and built a standing stone in the center of Cormanthor to symbolize the unity of the two races, humans and elves.
In exchange for a promise not to continue cutting down the Cormanthor forest, the ancestors of the Vale people obtained permission from the elves to settle on the edges of the forest where no giant trees grew.
The signing of the Valley Treaty had a profound impact on the continent of Faerûn at that time.
Since then, humans and elves have had a code of laws that allows them to live in harmony.
Although, with the fall of the Elf King City and the elves withdrawing to Evermeet Island, this agreement is actually no longer effective.
But most people in the valley still abide by the norms stipulated in the treaty.
Tradition replaced the influence of elven forces and became the main driving force for adhering to the agreement, so that it still effectively protects the borders of Cormanthor today.
…
When the Valley Treaty is signed, the historical replay ends.
The gray fog dissipated, and the Book of Truth finally gave out the promotion tasks for the executor.
1. Prevent the split of elves
2. Prevent the fall of the Nether Empire
3. Promote the signing of the Valley Treaty
There are three tasks in total. Choose one of them, return to the corresponding history, and complete the task if your performance meets the requirements.
Fortunately, completion is judged based on performance. Otherwise, if he was really asked to prevent the elves from splitting and the fall of the Nether Empire, it would be better to directly judge him as a failure.
Theoretically, each of these three tasks is simpler than the last.
Historically, the Valley Treaty was signed smoothly, and even if there was an accident in the process, nothing could be done.
Preventing the fall of the Nether Empire sounds difficult, but from the perspective of a latecomer, as long as you tell Grand Arcanist Karsus or other Grand Arcanists about the dangers of stealing magic power, stop the other party's arrogant behavior and protect it.
The safety of the magic network, and the strong national power of the Nether Empire, there is a high probability that it will not be destroyed by the Felin Demon Sun.
The most difficult of the three tasks is to prevent the elves from splitting, because the Crown War is too far away. Sherlock has no idea what the triggers of the elves' civil war are, and he can't think of a way to resolve the conflicts between different elves.
Of course, the difficulty of the task does not mean that it meets the required difficulty.
On the contrary, the more difficult the task, the more room for performance there is. The specific choice depends on each person's different ideas.
Sherlock thought for a long time, and finally chose the third task - to promote the signing of the Valley Agreement.
