Dunn Smith's gray eyes looked straight into Klein's eyes and he didn't speak for a minute.

Under the pressure of such silence and such gaze, Klein did not flinch, did not look away, and looked back at the other party firmly.

"You should understand that once you take a potion, there is no chance of regret. Finally, Dunn spoke again, his voice low and emotionless.

Klein smiled and said:

"I know, but I respect my inner voice. ”

First of all, the "sleepless" does not meet their own needs, the "audience" in the "tarot party" listens to the description, and other extraordinary ways do not know when they will be able to get in touch, so there is no need to wait, in the same way, the "corpse collector" is excluded, leaving only the two options of "voyeur" and "soothsayer".

Under the premise that the sequence potions are equally dangerous, and in the absence of more information itself, in front of the fact that both the "Voyeur" and the "Fortune Teller" meet the requirements, then whether or not Russell the Great wrote casually, whether he really regretted not choosing one of the "Apprentice", "Thief" and "Fortune Teller", it was enough to tilt the balance in his heart.

And it can be seen from his notes that as long as he can figure out the true meaning of "digestion" and "playing", he can avoid the negative effects of potions to the greatest extent, and as for the whispering and illusory temptations that lead people to depravity and make people crazy, even if they don't become extraordinary, they have been exposed to it!

"Okay. Dunn Smith stood up, took his half-height black top hat, and said, "Come with me to the underground." ”

Crane nodded and gave a gentlemanly salute gratefully.

Da, da, da, the two of them descended, their footsteps lingering far away on the silent and empty stairs and aisles.

Klein Huo Ran was a little nervous, and he had nothing to say:

"Captain, you said that after taking potions, you don't directly acquire the corresponding occult knowledge, but only have the qualifications to learn and master them, so where did the original occult knowledge come from?

Every time he went underground, he could feel that the air here was quite fresh, and it was obviously very well ventilated, but in this environment, the occasional gust of wind was really terrifying.

Dunn glanced sideways at him, his grey eyes unusually dark in the dimness.

He replied blandly:

"One is the exploration, summarization and improvement you mentioned, the second is the gift of the gods, and the third is that the dangerous 'whispers' that others can't hear are not always crazy dreams and meaningless, and occasionally, occasionally they still tell about mysterious things, but as far as I know, those who really listen to these and listen for a long time have invariably gone mad or degenerated into monsters, and of course, we have to thank them, the notes they left behind are a precious treasure in the field of occultism. ”

Humanoid guinea pig...... The cold invaded underground, and Crane shuddered suddenly:

Will my "transit ritual", which has become "friendship magic", always be accompanied by those crazy and terrifying "whispers", will it have the same effect?

At the crossroads, Dunn did not go to the "Chanis Gate" or the "Weapons, Materials, and Documents", but took Klein and chose to approach the Church of St. Selena on the left.

Halfway through, he paused, and somehow touched something, opened a secret door.

"This is the 'alchemy room' of our night watchman team, I will ask old Neil to go to the Chanis Gate to get the recipe and corresponding materials for the 'soothsayer' potion, heh, you are lucky, the goddess is protecting you, there should be two copies of the 'soothsayer' related materials left, otherwise you will have to wait for a long time." Dunn pointed to the room inside the door and said, "You wait here and watch the whole process of old Neil making potions, this is the most basic thing in the occult, well, don't mess with the items inside, they are either dangerous or expensive, or dangerous and expensive." ”

Speaking of which, Dunn added, as before:

"By the way, I forgot one thing again, you became an extraordinary person based on the need to deal with danger and find notes, and the credit is only part of it, so you can't become a full-fledged team member for the time being, you are still a clerical, still its corresponding salary, and still do what I arranged before, but you have to learn a lot of occult knowledge from Old Neil, and you arrange your own time. ”

"Okay. Except for some resentment about not raising his salary, Klein raised his hands and feet in favor.

According to Dunn, after taking potions, there is also the process of learning and mastering, directly becoming a member of the team, participating in tasks related to supernatural events, I really don't know how to write the word death.

Dunn turned around, took two steps towards the crossroads, and suddenly turned back and said:

"One more thing. ”

I knew it...... Klein has become accustomed to the captain's similar "style".

"We have gained something from the actions of the Esoteric Order. Dunn said with a normal expression, "In a short time, they should not dare to provoke us again, but you should not be careless, because it is impossible to confirm the importance of the Antigonus family notes to them for the time being, and from what we have discovered, they do retain some ancient customs, which can be confirmed to be related to the Solomon Empire and the fallen nobles of that time." ”

"I see, thank you, Captain. Crane let out a sigh.

This is one of the reasons why he is not willing to wait and can't wait to seize the opportunity to become extraordinary!

After seeing Dunn go away and making sure that he would not look back to replenish it, Crane slowly walked into the alchemy room.

There were long tables with test tubes, droppers, scales, and beakers, like the chemistry labs he had seen in his previous life, only more rudimentary, older.

In addition, there are items such as large iron pots, black wooden spoons, crystal balls, and strange symbols such as the dark emblem that can be found everywhere, which render a bit of mystery out of thin air.

Crane looked around with interest, but didn't move his hands around.

After a while, footsteps came, and old Neil walked in carrying a small silver box with intricate patterns, still wearing a classical black robe that did not fit the characteristics of the times, and a round-rimmed felt hat of the same color.

"Little one, I didn't expect you to choose 'soothsayer'. Old Neil glanced at Klein with slightly cloudy dark red eyes as he put down the silver box, "It's just as good as I was back then, and I don't conform to the crowd, yes, you light these gas lamps and close the secret door." ”

"Okay. Crane shuddered and lit the gas lamps in the alchemy chamber, allowing the dim light to reign again.

Tie, pierce, piercing, the secret door closed, and he turned to old Neil, who had gray hair and deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and mouth, and saw that the other party had brushed the big black iron pot with a few strange branches tied.

"The preparation of sequence potions is very simple, at least below sequence 7 is like this, no special flames, no additional rituals, no even spells, no need for the participation of the spirit itself, as long as the ingredients are added in the order of the recipe, and then stirred, it's fine. Old Neil smiled wrinkled.

"Really?" Klein asked in surprise.

It sounds as simple as your own "transit ceremony......

Hey, it's scary to think about......

"Perhaps this is the gift of the gods, praise the goddess. Old Neil drew a circle on his chest in a very irregular manner.

Then he opened the silver box and pulled out a roll of antique parchment.

The yellow-brown parchment unfolded inch by inch, revealing the words on it, and Crane looked at it and saw that it was Hermesian that he was familiar with.

Written in blood-like ink, they seem to retain the sensation of flowing, but other than that, there is nothing extraordinary.

"'Fortune teller': 100 ml of pure water + 13 drops of night vanilla juice + 7 golden mint leaves......" Klein silently read the contents of the recipe, but the rest of the part happened to be blocked by Old Neil's elbow and could not be seen.

"Pure water is water that has been distilled repeatedly, and I just happened to have made it before, so I don't have to waste time. Old Neil introduced as he expertly took a large, scaled, sealed glass bottle on the long table.

He opened the lid and poured about 100 ml of pure water into the large iron pot.

Klein didn't dare to ask, for fear of affecting the other party's preparation, after all, he had to drink the potion himself.

"13 drops of night vanilla juice, this can be extracted first to make essential oils for preservation. Old Neil took out a brown vial from the silver box and easily dropped 13 drops into the large iron pot with the help of a dropper.

A faint and soothing fragrance permeated the air, and Klein's mood became calm unconsciously.

"7 pieces of golden mint leaves...... Old Neil picked up the tin can with silver patterns, opened the lid, twisted out a few pieces with his bare hands, and sprinkled them into the large iron pot, the fresh and pungent smell was faintly audible.

"4, 5, 6, 7, just right. Old Neil smiled, glanced at the potion recipe on the parchment and said, "3 drops of violet juice, you can't drink this thing indiscriminately, it will be paralyzed and stiff to death, in ancient times, it was the best choice for suicide." ”

I'm not stupid...... Klein sneered.

Old Neil changed the dropper and drizzled the pansy juice into the large iron pot, mixing it with a strange smell that was refreshing.

"9 grams of dracaena powder. Unhurriedly, Old Neil dug his hand into the small silver box and lifted a transparent test tube, the powder of which was as black as iron.

He weighed 9 grams of powder with a beaker and a scale, poured it into the large iron pot casually, and stirred it twice with a black wooden spoon.

"Actually, the previous materials are all auxiliary, add more and less, it will not affect the final effect, why don't I put some more?" Old Neil joked, "The remaining two are the key, the amount can be a little less, but not too far away, otherwise your 'promotion' will fail, well, their weight must not be much, even if it is just a little bit, otherwise you will have to treat mental problems after taking it, and it is not for nothing that you will die directly." ”

Klein tensed up as he watched as Old Neil pulled out a black glass bottle from the silver box.

"The blood of the Lava octopus, 10 ml, this octopus belongs to a transcendent species, has obvious mutations, is covered with mysterious symbols, its blood quickly decomposes under the sun, loses its particularity, and must be preserved with opaque materials. Old Neil's tone was no longer relaxed, and he moved quickly and carefully to take 10 milliliters of blood from a test tube.

The blood was as blue as the sky, and from time to time it gurgled illusory bubbles, as if it was connected to the spiritual world.

"Pour the blood in the test tube, and leave the remaining points on the wall unattended, which is to prevent overdose. Old Neil whispered.

As soon as the blue blood entered the iron pot and came into contact with the previous liquid, there was a clattering sound inside, and the surrounding light was dyed pale blue, making Crane have a strange feeling that was far away and familiar.

It seemed to be an experience in the mother's body, and it made the soul feel like it was climbing.

"The last one, star crystals, 50 grams. Old Neil's voice rang in Klein's ears, and he came back to his senses and looked back at the table.

In the old gentleman's hand, there was an extra crystal that was extremely pure, and this crystal was gelatinous, like jelly on the earth, lacking sufficient hardness.

Under the light blue light, it reflects a little glow, and it seems to hide a bright starry sky in its body.

"It's a great material for divination crystals...... Slightly less, consider the error. Old Neil weighed and cut with a patterned silver knife.

"Pure water + night vanilla + golden mint leaf + poison violet juice + dragon's blood + rava octopus blood + star crystal = soothsayer ......" At this time, Klein couldn't help but think about the recipe.

After getting ready, Old Neil threw a few small pieces of "star crystals" into the large iron cauldron.

Multiply!

The illusory mist came out in an instant, making the alchemy room foggy.

In this fog, Klein seemed to see the starry sky, and also seemed to feel the gaze of some invisible being.

After a few seconds, the mist subsided, and Old Neil scooped a viscous dark blue liquid from the large iron pot with a black wooden spoon, which had strange properties, connected to each other and never separated, so that there was nothing left in the black iron pot.

The dark blue liquid was poured into an opaque cup, and Old Neil pointed to it:

"Alright, your 'soothsayer' potion. ”
