In the closed laboratory, Downton was busy concentrating on his work.
Wearing a green gas mask, he stood in front of the operating table. According to the equipment usage regulations, he held the two-thirds of the test tube firmly with the index finger, middle finger, and thumb of his left hand. He held the flask in his right hand and filled it with the contents.
The acidic solution was slowly poured in.
Zhi!
The solution reacted with the animal bone powder in the test tube, and a thick green mist emerged. Although it was not toxic, it would irritate the nasal cavity and cause respiratory burns if sniffed too much.
"Hey, step nine was finally successful." Seeing that the solution in the test tube did not become turbid, Downton let out a long breath. He had already made three mistakes on this step.
"Light the alcohol lamp, heat it in a 70-degree warm water bath for fifteen minutes, and then quickly drop in the dragon yin powder to set the shape..." Downton recited the steps silently and operated in an orderly manner.
During the seven-day journey to the royal capital, he did not waste any time. He discussed the potion issue with Xia Luo until late into the night every day.
During this period, Downton dismantled the configuration process of the giant potion, and he was accurate to every detail. He wrote more than a hundred drawings. Any potion master who looks at these written records and follows them can also make the potion.
Configure it.
Of course, if you make a mistake in operation, you will have no choice but to do it again.
Through the glass on the door, Elaine stood in the corridor and looked at Downton, her face full of disbelief. Until now, she still can't believe that her brother has actually become a potion master.
"Six months ago, he was just a postman struggling to make a living, and he had never attended even the most ordinary school."
Seeing Downton performing skillful operations, leaning down from time to time to write records on parchment, even checking complicated equations and calculating the amount of materials, a strong sense of pride filled Elaine's chest.
"Brother is indeed the best." Elaine murmured. Downton took off his leather armor and wore a white coat. He had a scholarly air, which sometimes made her mistakenly think that she was looking at those potions.
The instructors in the class conduct experiments themselves.
"He is very talented and willing to endure hardships. He will definitely make great achievements in potions in the future." The magic book floated over. Looking at Downton who forgot to eat and sleep, he was very satisfied.
"Thank you."
"This is what I should do. Who made him my master?" As Downton's knowledge increased and he gradually became independent, Homer would no longer be there to guide him, because he knew that those potion masters hated preparing potions.
was interrupted.
Perhaps an inadvertent interruption, or even a sneeze, will interrupt the inspiration of a great potion master, causing the idea of a new potion to flash through his mind.
"Let's go, he won't eat dinner if he looks like this." Elaine turned and left. Although Downton had been in the laboratory for three days and she felt sorry for him, she was reluctant to disturb him after all.
"I heard that you are a rune master?" Homer asked, "How far have you learned?"
"I am still in the apprenticeship stage and can only make six simple magic runes of the soul level." Elaine was ashamed. Compared to her brother, she was really inferior.
"Where is your mentor? What's his level?" Homer comforted, "Considering your age, it's not bad to be an apprentice."
Rune masters can use various magic materials to make magic runes, and after embedding them on items such as weapons and armor, they can have additional magical effects.
The magic scrolls and gem bombs owned by Downton are products made by rune masters. A great rune master can even turn ordinary items into magic items with magical effects after being inlaid with runes.
Runes are similar to potions. They are both magic professions with extremely high entry barriers. Without talent, you cannot achieve anything by hard work alone.
"I can't afford a mentor!" Elaine looked sadly. The rate of return after becoming a rune master is very high, but like potions, it is also a very expensive industry. After all, making runes requires various magic materials. Once they are scrapped,
It means a huge waste.
Elaine was so poor that she ate bread for almost three meals a day, and could not afford the high tuition and material costs.
For a new apprentice, the runes to learn and make are naturally the simplest. Even if they are successful, they will not be sold at a high price, and the failure rate is extremely high. After all, even practice makes perfect, and it requires a step-by-step process.
"You actually made six soul-level runes by self-study?" Homer was moved, what a genius this is, "With your talent, as long as your school's rune instructor is not stupid, he will definitely train you, right?"
"Yes, he has approached me, but he wants me to sign a contract. After becoming a rune master, I will work for him for ten years, and all the income during this period will be at the disposal of the mentor." Elaine smiled bitterly, "Actually, this condition is not
Harsh, after all, they spent a huge amount of money to train me, but I don’t want to be restricted.”
"Are you dissatisfied that he is not good enough?" Homer teased, Elaine is a smart girl and will definitely not do such stupid things.
Excellent great rune masters are busy making runes, which are worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins per piece. Who would be free to become a teacher? Earn a fixed salary?
Having her little secret revealed, Elaine blushed and said frankly, "Yes, I think if I study on my own, I should be able to reach the level of a mentor within five years. Besides, I want to become a rune master just to make money."
Buy magic potions and magic stones for my brother."
Homer nodded. Ten years later, Downton has passed the best age for the growth of magicians. Even if the money Elaine makes is as rich as the country, what's the use?
"Don't worry, Downton's wallet is very rich. No matter how much you spend money, it doesn't matter, we will definitely train you to become a rune master." Homer smiled, "Besides, the person standing in front of you is a master who is better than a rune master."
I want the powerful Lord Homer."
When it comes to erudition, Homer considers himself to be the best in the Western Continent. Runes are a branch of magic. Of course, it is not a problem for the erudite Homer.
"If you have money, you can't spend it arbitrarily. My brother wants to be a potion master, which will cost a lot of money." Elaine refused.
"No, you can't waste your talent." Homer didn't listen. He finally found a treasure and had to polish it out.
"I heard that dragons like to pile up gold coins in their lairs. If you run out, why don't we go to Dragon Island to grab some?" Hutao ran wildly with a broom, not knowing what he was chasing? Hearing them
In the conversation, I interjected.
"Have you finished the homework assigned to you?" Elemental Arm picked up the pointer.
When Hu Tao saw something bad, he turned around and ran away.
The laboratory was soundproofed, and Downton didn't hear Homer preparing to cultivate his sister. His attention had reached its limit because the potion preparation was in the final step.
When the magic clock struck the hour, Downton put on protective gloves and immediately took out the purified blood essence of the two-headed demon wolf from the centrifuge box, and added the blue titanium solution as quickly as possible.
The blood essence in the test tube changed color and rotated like a tropical tornado. When the color turned red, which meant that the activation had reached its peak, Downton immediately poured it into the beaker.
Boom, the essence reacted with the solution inside, making a loud noise, and a blood-red fist rune suddenly appeared on the mouth of the cup, and then collapsed.
"Yeah, it worked." Downton cheered, that 'fist' was the most obvious phenomenon when the powerful potion was successfully configured.
Homer calculated the time and waited until the early morning of the next day in the Western Continent. He immediately took the girls to call Downton and was about to return.
At this time, Downton had been in the laboratory for ten days, and there were twenty sealed test tubes on the experimental table behind him.
"So beautiful!" Looking at these bright red potions like blood, Hu Tao ran over and looked at them carefully. She found that the liquids seemed to have life, they were constantly running and seemed to be full of power.
"How does the medicine work?" Homer asked.
Celes, who already had experience as an assistant, took a white oak box from the cabinet next to her. She carefully wrapped the test tubes in cotton and placed them on the test tube rack inside. Then she fixed them and put other soft fillings on them. It is guaranteed not to be damaged due to violent shaking.
"They are all qualified, but only half of them are more than 70% effective. But you said they can't be drunk either!"
Elaine stood next to Downton, helped him take off his white coat, and quickly prepared the towel while he was washing his hands.
"Yes, there is something wrong with the formula of Juli Potion. Drinking too much will cause hidden trauma to the body." Homer explained, "So don't use it unless absolutely necessary."
"Yeah, but you can sell it for money." Downton smiled, "Let's go back. There are still a lot of things to do today. Buy a house, go to the Royal Apothecary Society to take the exam, go to the Holy See to get the Paladin license...ah , It’s so troublesome, are you going to tire me to death?”
Back at the Golden Goose Hotel, Downton asked about Jackson's situation last night. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he asked everyone to wash up.
After a simple breakfast, Downton took the girls out.
In broad daylight, Downton did not dare to let Jackson drive through the city, so he simply rented a carriage.
"Go to Nancheng District." After Elaine told the coachman the location, she explained to Downton, "The houses there are cheaper."
"Wait a minute, I heard that it's a slum area over there? The security isn't very good?" Seeing Elaine nod, Downton refused, "Why don't you go buy a house in a wealthy area?"
"But the housing prices there are very expensive."
"It doesn't matter. You want to study, and you need a quiet environment and good security. It doesn't matter if the housing price is high." For Elaine, no matter how much money he spent, Downton didn't feel bad.
"Brother, you are so good to me!" Elaine hugged Downton's arm and rubbed his cheek with a happy smile on her face.
Looking at the ordinary clothes and accents of Downton and his entourage, the coachman thought they were a few out-of-town students who hired a carriage to tour the royal capital, so his attitude was very dismissive. Now that he heard their conversation, he quickly calmed down his arrogance and put on a smile. He couldn't afford to offend a young man who bought a house in the area.
"Sir, sit still!" The coachman's intention to please was obvious. Of course, he wanted to get more reward money after finishing his work. (To be continued...)
