The next day, when Chai Anping woke up and went to the door to get milk, he suddenly felt that the mailbox above his head was a little strange. When he stood up and took a look, he was shocked to find that this morning, the mailbox was already filled with envelopes.
"So early……?!"
Chai Anping, who had never received physical letters before, took all the letters into the study with a sense of novelty and scattered them on the table. It seemed that there were at least forty or fifty letters.
"Invitation from the ×× family..."
"Hmm...an invitation to join an alchemy society? You can keep this for a while."
"Holy Order's morning service viewing?... High-end."
"The Sirode family's banquet?"
"There are also greetings from some of the viscounts I met at yesterday's tea party. Alas, I will have to return to visit them one by one another day."
Such high-end letters made Chai Anping feel a little bit humiliated living in this apartment.
Putting aside the Viscount's greetings, which had the lowest priority, Chai Anping suddenly saw another simple letter - the Order of the Illuminator.
Chai Anping immediately opened the letter. He still respected this sect, just like those volunteers in previous lives who truly did not expect anything in return.
"Is it also a viewing ceremony...or is it an 'entry test'?"
Chai Anping browsed the letter. It said that he was invited to attend a small party. There would be some difficult requests at the party. Both the illuminator and the invitees could accept the requests according to their abilities.
There is no compensation and no requirements.
The time was three nights later, in a church of the Order of the Illuminator.
Chai Anping grinned: "You have to go and see this."
Unlike the Holy Order, which is like a magic stick, Chai Anping has an extraordinary interest in the Order of the Illuminator. Lux's method of suppressing magic was learned in this historic order. Chai Anping has an extraordinary interest in their order.
I have been fascinated by collecting books for a long time.
Help the Order of the Illuminator solve problems and occasionally receive selfless gifts from them. It is not difficult to browse through their library.
After spending the whole morning looking through these letters, Chai Anping finally finished sorting them out. He divided them into three piles according to their priority. There were also some strange invitations that he had never heard of before and he threw them aside.
What he cared about the most was the letter from the Order of the Illuminator. He could tell others if he was in the mood. If he really didn't want to go, he could just decline and it would be fine. He wouldn't offend anyone.
After lunch, he set off to the laboratory to start refining the batch of stubborn stone potions for trading. Once again, Xiaopang was kicked out by him miserably, and this time he couldn't even stand outside the door.
After he started taking action, Chai Anping could really feel the changes after taking the light potion. As soon as he thought about it, the movements of his hands and feet became lighter and faster, while remaining as stable as ever.
"The strength has increased again, although it is not much, but it is also a good thing!"
The light potion was indeed a level three permanent gain potion. Chai Anping felt that he had become stronger again.
"It feels like I can become stronger even while lying down...it's so good."
Chai Anping grinned. He had a quick fix for his physical fitness. Next, he had to start thinking about how to learn some techniques.
Now he has basically mastered one-fifth of the swordsmanship skills he learned from Giles, and he also has some understanding of his own, but it is obviously not enough...
"Giles, good brother, wait until I treat you to a drink!"
…
…
"When I'm not on duty these days, it's easy to run into Gracie. I heard that he has become a high-ranking official outside the palace. I'm very happy for him. He is always very happy to treat me to dinner when he sees me. It seems that he really treats me.
As a good friend, touched!
It's just that he's always prone to being overly enthusiastic and likes some physical contact, which I'm a little uncomfortable with. Maybe it's the custom in his hometown, and I can't refuse.
Gracie is still a lucky guy and can always pick up some things I drop, but I have been too reckless recently and keep losing things. Fortunately, Gracie is by my side!"
——Giles
…
…
Because he had to refine the hard stone potion, when Giles was on duty in the palace, Chai Anping basically worked in the laboratory refining the potion.
“Tuk-tuk!”
"Mr. Shelley, are you there?"
"...Ah, is it Your Highness Lux? Please wait a moment until I finish refining this potion before I open the door for you."
When Chai Anping heard a sudden knock on the door, his mind tightened and he subconsciously blocked the door to prevent Lux from suddenly coming in and seeing the alchemical flames on the table.
"OK!"
Fortunately, this tube of stubborn stone potion was almost finished refining. He quickly took the clear liquid out of the crucible, filtered it, put it into a test tube, and then opened the door to the laboratory.
"Well--"
Lux was wearing ordinary white clothes today, with a gauze scarf wrapped around her face.
"Your Highness is out on patrol incognito again?" Chai Anping teased.
Hearing this, Lux rolled her eyes at him, then entered the laboratory and saw the dozens of tubes of medicine placed by Chai Anping on the experimental table.
"Wow - there are so many potions, what are they?"
"They are all hard stone potions." Chai Anping said with a smile.
"It seems that the news from the family is indeed true. Mr. Shelley, you are the mysterious alchemist who suddenly appeared and can refine high-quality hard stone potions, and you also signed up to participate in the Glory Competition!"
"Ha, His Highness already knows?" Chai Anping was not surprised when he heard this.
"Hey, I came to you as soon as I got the news." Lux said proudly: "There is also news about the kabuno mixture you asked me to ask about. I will bring it to you as much as you want."
"Yo?"
Hearing the rich woman praising such a heroic Haikou, Chai Anping couldn't help but smile and said: "Then let's get a thousand tubes first!"
"Cough cough cough!"
Lux became angry: "I think you don't need one anymore!"
"Don't bother me, Haha, Your Highness." Chai Anping waved his hand quickly: "I was just joking. If Your Highness has time, please bring two groups over."
"snort!"
After chatting, Lux sat down next to the experimental table. In fact, her concern for Chai Anping's affairs was not entirely out of kindness. She also had her own purpose. After hearing that Chai Anping was good at alchemy, she became more and more anxious.
Unbearable.
"Mr. Shelley, last time I heard you said that you were researching ways to eliminate magic. I wonder if you could share it with me?" Lux said with a hint of uneasiness in her serious tone.
"Your Highness, you sounded so solemn, I thought you wanted me to explain what happened to the last girl!"
Lux:???
Seeing that Lux's solemn expression was about to turn into a cruel one, Chai Anping coughed quickly and stepped forward to hold her down: "Just kidding, just kidding... It's natural for His Highness to want to visit my research. Why is there such a need?"
