"Boy, she sold us expired medicine and made a member of the group sick. We now have to pay compensation. It is only natural and right."
In the Wolf and Spice grocery store, the air froze. Because of the equipment Downton displayed, the scar-faced mercenary became cautious about what he said and did not dare to call the bastard any more.
"Where are the remaining potions? I am also a potion master and can do inspections. If you lie, I will make you pay the price." Downton glanced at the broken bottles on the ground and the water stains around him, and did not believe what these guys said.
.
"You didn't hear me. Don't think that you can be arrogant just because you are well equipped." A mercenary looked fierce, activated his soul shield, and two translucent balls rotated around his body.
"Master, what nonsense are you talking to these bastards? Just kill them." Jackson's green eyes were filled with murderous intent. He grabbed the saber in his left hand and handed it to Downton. At the same time, he reached his right hand behind his waist and held it.
He grabbed the handle of his crossbow and was ready for a sneak attack at any time.
"Can you do potion appraisal? How about deceiving the undead? I have never seen such a young potion master." The scar-faced mercenary felt guilty, mainly because Downton was too calm. If it were an ordinary young man, he would have been frightened.
Peed.
"I say again, put things back where they belong!" Downton pulled out his saber and activated his soul shield. This was Morning Mist Town, and he wanted to try his best to avoid fighting, otherwise Liszt would have enough excuses to cause trouble for him.
"Soul level three? Am I right?"
"I'm Di Polo, how old is this guy? He's higher than me!"
"What are you afraid of? Can he challenge three people?"
"Haha, are all humans so arrogant?" Jackson joked, eager to try, "Master, you don't need to take action, just let me do it? But I have to eat the brains and internal organs. I've been hungry for a long time!"
The three mercenaries immediately felt their hair stand on end. Although Jackson was covered in bandages, his green eyes still showed his inhuman identity.
This should be an undead!
The three mercenaries looked at each other, tacitly dropped the potion and wanted to leave.
Downton raised his saber and blocked the doorway. "I told you to put things back where they belong."
The scar-faced mercenary was about to curse, but a crossbow was suddenly pressed against his temple, causing him to hold back his curse words.
Jackson tilted his head and motioned for them to sort out the messy store.
"Boy, be cruel, don't let us touch you, otherwise you will definitely show some colors." Five minutes later, the three mercenaries finally walked out of the grocery store.
Scarface cursed loudly. However, he shut his mouth in shock the next second because a crossbow arrow hit his forehead.
"We didn't sell expired potions." Seeing Downton defending himself, the female shopkeeper didn't know how long it had been since she had enjoyed the warmth of being cared for. She smiled and explained that she didn't want to be misunderstood.
"Well, I know, this is for you." Downton put the apple on the table, his mind was in a mess. He couldn't find a topic, so he turned around and left.
The female shopkeeper looked at the grimoire in Downton's hand, then glanced at his back, and sighed, "Are you studying potions? Although we are just ordinary potions masters, if you encounter a problem, maybe we can
Help you answer."
Downton stopped in shock, not expecting the situation to suddenly turn around.
"Our name is Xia Luo!" The female shopkeeper of Wolf and Spice announced her name, "What's your name?"
"Downton!" Downton became nervous and used the topic to cover up his emotions, "She has the same name as the harvest goddess of the Behemoth orcs!"
In addition to worshiping the beast god, the god of war, the orc tribe also worshiped the harvest goddess Shiloh, because she taught them animal husbandry, farming, etc., imparted them a lot of knowledge, and brought civilization.
Because it is said that the Harvest Goddess is a werewolf, she is also called the Wise Wolf, representing the great sage and harvest.
Some orc tribes, and even some human countries, will hold a harvest festival after the summer harvest every year to pray to the wise wolf Xia Luo for good weather in the coming year.
Xia Luo nodded and continued to look through the plant illustration.
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you. In addition to jadeite powder, which other extraction solvent can I choose to ensure that the activity of the fish blue grass is more than 75% active in the liquid state?" Downton took out his notes and goose feathers.
Pen, asking about the difficulties encountered in the process of configuring the improved version of the magic energy extraction potion.
"Your question is very targeted!"
Xia Luo was surprised. She had lived in Chenmist Town for so long. Of course she had met Downton before, so she knew that he was an ordinary civilian boy. But now he actually asked a very professional question about potions, "Have you studied armor?"
Have you learned the basic liquid equation?"
"Yeah!" Downton nodded.
"Write it down!" Charlotte would not believe Downton just because of his casual words.
Downton didn't have any stage fright. He stood by the counter, dipped in ink, and quickly wrote in his notebook.
The hard work in the big library and the hard work in the independent laboratory made Downton's sweat not in vain. He did it in one go without even thinking.
"Write the derivative equation." Charlotte was surprised. She couldn't help but take a look at Downton. She found that the young man was no longer at a loss as before and was completely immersed in potions. His lips were pursed and his eyes were focused.
, allowing the facial contour to show some soft temperament.
"This is it!" Downton pushed the notebook in front of Charlotte.
"Well, it's absolutely correct, and the handwriting is very beautiful." Charlotte praised. On the slightly yellowed parchment, the magic flame style originated from Netheril's magical civilization was gorgeous and beautiful. The equations formed were like a poem.
Poetry is pleasing to the eye, and even people who don't understand potions can feel its beauty.
"Thank you!" Downton was embarrassed and scratched his hair.
"Hey, it's hopeless." Seeing Downton subconsciously showing his most perfect side to Charlotte, the magic book sighed, but the most beautiful magic flame text in the history of the Western Continent is definitely the best choice to express a love poem.
, because the sage and love sage said that even if a woman does not fall in love with you, she will fall in love with this style of writing.
"Do you want to improve the magic energy extraction potion?" Xia Luo's words immediately stunned Downton. He did not expect that the other party could deduce his purpose from an equation.
"Fish blue grass is the most important potion for configuring magic energy extraction potions. Coupled with your limited percentage, it is easy to guess your intention." Charlotte pushed the notebook back to Downton, "Magic Energy Extraction
Potions are so commonly used, so how to improve their efficacy and reduce production costs has always been a topic that potions masters are constantly studying. The Royal Apothecary Society has also set up a special bonus to reward those who can improve the efficacy of the top ten best-selling potions.
Potions masters."
Xia Luo just said that she was an ordinary potion master, but she was actually being modest. She had received this bonus herself, and the improved potion formula is still displayed in the formula hall of the Royal Apothecary Association. You must know that every one that can be put in it
The formulas have had a huge impact on the potion world.
Of course, Xia Luo changed her name when she did all this, otherwise she would cause big trouble with her identity.
Downton estimated that he would get a scholarship if he took out the improvement potion, but given his character, he would definitely not do it.
"If you are interested in potions, you can order a copy of 'Nature' magazine, which is an academic journal published by the Royal Apothecaries Society." Charlotte took a bite of the apple and advised, "Don't focus on improving magic energy extraction potions.
It’s a waste of time, you should read as many books as possible and acquire more knowledge.”
In fact, there are many better formulas in the association. Because they are not suitable for mass production, magic users have never seen them on the market. However, among the wealthy nobles who have private potion masters, all the children of their families drink this.
A more advanced potion.
"I know!" Downton didn't want to improve the potion, but the preparation process of jade stone powder and fish blue grass was too difficult to control, which made him have a high error rate in operation, so he wanted to find a substitute.
"Well, wait, the activity change in the liquid state is not to pursue the highest value, but to maintain a constant value." Charlotte recalled Downton's question and suddenly frowned, "Where did you see this kind of thing?
method?"
This is a completely new way of dealing with pharmaceuticals. If it weren't for a genius like Xia Luo, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
Downton hesitated and looked at the grimoire, wondering whether he should tell Charlotte.
"We are being presumptuous, you don't have to say anything." Charlotte took Downton's pen, wrote on the paper, and listed out the reaction equations line by line.
"tell her!"
The text shown by Homer is just a formula. For an ordinary potion master, it can be exchanged for millions or even tens of millions of wealth, but for the magic book, it is just a piece of waste paper. Use it to exchange for Charlotte's trust.
The good impression is really worth it.
Just saying that Xia Luo's current talent in potions is worth investing in.
"I have a recipe." Downton had been practicing advanced operations during this period and was already familiar with the entire configuration process, so he opened his mouth and said.
Listening to Downton's talk, Xia Luo kept nodding her head.
Warm sunlight shines into the store and falls on the shelves. Some dust particles can be seen floating, and then move to Downton and Charlotte.
Two people discussing at the desk, stacked apples in the fruit plate, plus an ink bottle and a quill, these scenes together resemble an oil painting from the literary review period, full of quiet beauty.
"The potion master who wrote this recipe is definitely a master!" Xia Luo looked at the process on the paper and couldn't help but praise, "You are really very talented and spiritual!"
Downton said nothing. If Charlotte knew that this formula had appeared more than a thousand years ago, she would be even more surprised.
"I am touched by your generosity." Xia Luo smiled, "But I will not take advantage of you, and I will also tell you the formula of a medicine of considerable value."
Downton had just driven away the three mercenaries, and by telling him the formula, Charlotte had already recognized him. Although they were not friends yet, their relationship was much closer than that of strangers. (To be continued...)
