Races that are extremely sensitive to the moon often need a lot of data about the moon when studying their own talents and magic, such as butterflies and werewolves. For a long time, racial differences have made various celestial phenomena records have a wide market.
Races will also look up at the stars and think about what exists above the sky, but Lulu's small knowledge class did not teach this.
Lu Yu visited Sera one after another and went to the Dizang Library that night and borrowed all the records and books she asked about.
Today was the day when Lulu officially refined the first batch of recovery potion. Lu Yu, who was holding a book in his arms, smelled an indescribable smell wafting near the mansion they rented from all the way.
It's like the traditional Chinese medicine I brewed at home when I was a kid, but the smell is a little sour and slightly burnt, as if someone lit a marshmallow on fire.
The overly complex smell made Lu Yu's nose lose its basic ability to judge. Because he stayed up late with Lulu and caught the cold, his somewhat blocked nose was instantly relieved. Regardless of whether the medicine could make Lulu the same as before, it was pretty good at treating nasal congestion anyway.
make…
Lulu did not choose to refine the medicine indoors this time - that was what she thought at first, but Sigrid and the Mist Demon dragged her out of the house along with the bottles and jars.
Every table around Lulu was filled with translucent containers filled with liquid, and materials like goblin finger bones that seemed to have been added after the potion refining began were neatly stacked aside.
Sigrid and the mist demon stopped approaching Lulu after she entered the state. Lulu repeatedly reminded her that she could not master the scale of potion refining, and asked them to stay away as much as possible.
Seeing Lu Yu return home, Sigrid and the mist demon came over.
"Lulu asked me to give this to you."
Lu Yu looked at the Goblin finger bone placed in the small box and was stunned for a moment.
"That's right, there's no need for it. After all, you can buy it here." Lu Yu's thoughts drifted back to the day he parted with the Goblin King.
What would happen if the Goblin King kept moving forward? This was a question that Lu Yu could not answer at the time. After all, he had just arrived in this world and was extremely unfamiliar with everything.
But now, Lu Yu really wants to tell him that although this road is very difficult and the people and things he faces on the road are extremely troublesome, it will really make you stronger, both in terms of strength and heart.
When I was in Yas a year ago, it was so difficult to find materials for gold-level monsters. There was no such goods in the human market, and the strength of the surrounding races was only mithril.
Lu Yu looked at the mist demon and smiled.
"Do I have something on me?"
The mist demon turned into Sigrid and twisted back and forth, trying to find the reason why Lu Yu was smiling at her.
"It's nothing, I just feel that your dad...well, Hogu really loves you. If you stay there all the time, you will never see the possibility of growing up."
Putting away the Goblin King's finger bones, Lu Yu thought, after sending Lulu home, he must quickly find time to go back to Yas to take a look.
Lulu's tentacles reached out to the translucent container closest to her, gently causing the liquid inside to ripple.
Before the official start, Lulu glanced at Lu Yu, then took a deep breath, poured the extracted juice into one of the containers, and stirred carefully.
There are no sparks and lightning, let alone any dazzling vision. The current magic power foundation determines that the most direct and violent negative feedback if the potion production fails is an explosion.
Refining potions is different from what is described in many literary works. The scene is a bit like a pastry chef kneading dough. The amount of water and flour need to be controlled in a good ratio to make the potion perfectly blended.
The preparation work of extracting juice and extracting the essence of materials can basically be done with care. The medicinal properties are combined, but the precise use of each material is very difficult. To put it bluntly, Lulu may feel very angry. Lu Yu feels that most new
The success of potion refining is full of randomness.
For example, this potion can turn into tentacles and enhance defense. Lulu herself is not sure that she can reproduce it perfectly again.
However, there is no way to be too harsh. She is a pharmacist who became a fortune halfway. She is a pure wild child. She has been exploring on her own in this genre that is in urgent need of experience. Her current achievements are already amazing.
Lu Yu took the book, sat under the shade of a tree and started reading.
Lulu was busy, and he also had to sort out the news he had received.
The first thing Lu Yu took out was the channel change record of the Broken Islands. This booklet recorded in detail the changes in the main channels of Boyne City cargo ships passing through the Broken Islands area to the open sea area in the past hundred years.
Channel changes are not a trivial matter. Most ships traveling on trade routes rarely change channels on their own initiative. After all, previous experience has proven that channels with less danger are the safest to use. No one who does business wants to add extra trouble to themselves.
variable.
The route to the Broken Isles has changed twice in the past hundred years.
Boyne City under the trade alliance system is eligible to modify its routes on its own, so these route changes are all made by the Boyne City Maritime Operations Association.
The overall shape of the Broken Islands is like a person's palm, and the small islands are connected in series to form five fingers, so they are also called the Palm Islands among the people.
Because the narrow channel located in the ring finger area of the palm is suitable for navigation at any time, it is a natural channel.
It is recorded in the book that the reason why the guild frequently changes routes is because it is unsafe, and there are unexplained sailing risks in the Broken Islands area.
From time to time, there will be strange situations where ships from Boyne City will run aground in this area, be dragged by the undercurrent, lose direction, and make a wrong U-turn back to Boyne City.
Because these things happen irregularly, neither the magicians nor professional sailors dispatched by the guild can find a suitable explanation for the reasons, so in the end they can only blame it on the poor environment of the ring finger area and too many accidental factors.
Afterwards, routes in this area were temporarily restored, but basically no local cargo ships were willing to leave. They would rather take the other three-finger routes than the ring-finger area.
At the same time, because the sea people living in the Ring Finger area are sea monsters, the story of sea monsters eating people was also widely circulated during this period, and even led to situations where the sea monsters personally explored the waterway and proved their innocence.
The author of this booklet is very attentive and has also compiled the number of shipwrecks on the other three routes.
Interestingly, when comparing the number of shipwrecks among the four routes, although the Ring Finger route is indeed the most numerous, it is not ridiculously high. And although the official does not allow large cargo ships to take the Ring Finger route, private small boats are not prohibited. They have gone so far
Years ago, I actually didn’t feel that this route was so weird.
Even the president of the Maritime Operations Association said at a certain meeting that the Ring Finger route was ruined by rumors, and it is difficult to refute this rumor.
Even if they say it is safe now, most people still won't believe it, because the stories they have heard since childhood are like this. It has become a place where ghost stories often occur, and the prejudice against the siren is difficult to eliminate.
Lu Yu thinks this is the same as the older generation telling you that all nutrition is in the soup. They have always had this understanding since they were young. Even if you know that meat is the most nutritious, you can't convince them because that idea has been there for a long time.
Deep-rooted and unshakable.
Lu Yu asked Sigrid for pen and paper, wrote down some details of the lock, and then opened the second book that Sera named and borrowed, "Bonn Shipwreck Record".
Gu Jie
This book records in detail the shipwrecks that occurred around the city of Beaune in the past two hundred years. The owner of the library said that the author of the book also wrote the "Records of the Collet Shipwreck" with the support of the Trade Federation, so the data used in the book are credible.
Extremely high.
Lu Yu set his sights on the ring finger route and kept reading.
The mist demon and Sigrid, who were still observing Lulu refining the medicine, gathered around Lu Yu and silently helped Lu Yu sort out what he had written down.
Before he finished remembering, Lu Yu frowned.
Sigrid held the shipwreck records whose keywords were extracted by Lu Yu and asked in surprise: "How come...most of them are accidents that happen at night?"
Lu Yu also noticed this, but he quickly thought of another reason.
"It is natural that accidents are prone to occur at night. After all, visibility is not as good as during the day. The possibility of crew misoperation is much higher than during the day. If there are new people on board, the probability of such mistakes will be higher. This does not mean anything."
In fact, what made Lu Yu frown was that most of the accidents that happened on the Wuming Finger route were caused by ships but no people.
People boarding the ship can see that the furnishings inside the ship are extremely neat, and there are no signs of fighting. The entire ship is basically intact, and there is no possibility of being invaded and boarded.
Other shipwrecks in which no one was missing were even more bizarre. Many cargo ships inexplicably hit reefs in the area, took on water, and almost sank.
However, when the enthusiastic sea monsters went to the bottom of the sea to check, there was no reef at all.
Therefore, many people suspect that a huge sea monster is doing evil in the area. They secretly ram the ship, causing it to sink, and then swallow the crew members who fell into the water.
However, this statement is despised not only by the sea monsters, but also by the surrounding sea tribes. Because they have lived in this area for so long, what big things are there in the sea that they cannot see?
And why should we have to wait for the crew to fall into the water before eating such a huge thing that can knock a cargo ship off its feet? Why can't we dismantle the ship and just feast on it?
There can't be a ritual of prayer before meals for sea beasts, right?
Thank Poseidon for bringing the rice to my mouth and express your gratitude to Poseidon?
It's okay if the Kraken didn't say that. Once he said that, coupled with the rumor that the Kraken could eat people, it soon turned into that the Kraken was kept in captivity by the Kraken...
Furthermore, many people later thought that the Kraken would deliberately conceal the existence of the sea monster by saying this.
It is said that one looks at a siren through colored glasses, and one is presumed to be a criminal by the minute.
Lu Yu looked at it and felt that what he was watching was not a record of a shipwreck, but more like the "One Hundred Thousand Whys" that those unscrupulous editors made up and put into the market by taking advantage of the information gap when he was a child.
As he watched, Lu Yu felt more and more that Siren was the real scapegoat. Whenever there was a shipwreck, everyone would think of him and miss him.
The few sirens I saw at the port last time were quite friendly, both men and women. Even if Lu Yu asked about something related to them and the description of the shipwreck, they still answered calmly, as if you are willing to reason with me,
I must reason with you and have a gentle temperament. It is exactly the same as what Vanessa recorded. They really stand out as a Buddhist. After being looked at through colored glasses for so many years, they are still so calm.
Lu Yu felt aggrieved for this group of honest people who couldn't refute rumors.
The strong burnt smell drew Lu Yu's attention away from the book. He, Sigrid, and the mist demon raised their heads together, and found that the translucent container in front of Lulu that had been mixed with unknown materials had appeared.
It turned out to be a strange rose-red color, but what was floating up was actually orange smoke.
As we all know, when a group of people stay together for a long time, they often develop a strong tacit understanding.
When they saw the potion in front of Lulu smoking, the three people had the same reaction...
Run!
Run as far as you can!
Sigrid, who plays physical skills, was at her strongest in an instant. Before Lu Yu even started, she was already a few meters away.
But Sigrid remembered her identity - she was the servant of Lulu and Lu Yu.
It was not appropriate to abandon Lu Yu and run away, so Sigrid turned back very loyally and said, "Time is running out, I'm sorry." She grabbed Lu Yu's knees with one hand and Lu Yu's chest with the other to carry the cauldron.
He raised his posture high above his head and flew away with Lu Yu.
The dove transformed by the mist demon flew straight into the sky until its wings could no longer flutter, and then slowly fell down to join Lu Yu and Sigrid.
The three people gathered together, covering their ears and opening their mouths.
Lulu saw all this, and all her tentacles were trembling. If the distance wasn't enough, she would have tied up these three guys and beat them hard with her tentacles.
What kind of reaction was this? Everyone said they believed in her ability to refine medicine, and everyone said they were relieved when the seventh-level magician took action. What was the result?
Is this a sign of reassurance?
The three people who have been waiting for a long time and haven't seen the explosion are a little confused. Is it going to explode or not? You can give me an accurate estimate. It's not a squib. Let's wait for a surprise, right?
"Failed."
Lulu's voice was very calm, as if she was announcing a trivial matter, but everyone could hear the disappointment in her tone.
There is no fryer, no explosion, and breaking out of the potion is like a novice who has just learned how to cook and goes into the kitchen and destroys all the ingredients and kitchen utensils.
Lulu skillfully rolled out the semi-solidified liquid with her tentacles, poured it into a container that had been prepared, sealed it, and told Sigrid that it must be completely burned with flames when handling it later.
Seeing Lulu taking out a new container and new materials to start a new round of refining, Lu Yu quickly persuaded: "It failed just now. It's good to take a break to change your mood."
Lulu said calmly: "There is no time. My rank seal and body seal must be resolved quickly. Sera must have encountered unimaginable troubles for not coming back for so long. She can't escape even with her ability. Now
I can't even help her."
"Lu Yu, I know you are looking for Sera's whereabouts... I am not as good as you in this regard... Where Sera is now, I leave it to you."
