In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed, Merlin's realm had already stabilized, and she had used all the spell crystals she had captured from Podos. As for the quest to hunt down Podos, it has been on the taskbar for a long time and no one has bumped into it, since the last time in the gravel wilderness, most of the scaly horned wolves and colluding bandits he raised were eliminated, people have lost contact, some suspect that he is seriously injured and died, and others think that he is in seclusion, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

Monica and Frodo are suspicious of Merlin, but they have no evidence in their hands, and Merlin has lived in seclusion since she returned, so they have no loopholes to drill into. After Mei Lin was really promoted to the third level of apprenticeship, they had no choice, at this time, Mei Lin not only completely crushed them in terms of strength, but the identity of the dean's student made them feel jealous, so the matter of Podos was not over.

Once again, the night covered the high mounds, and the bright moonlight shone through the window lattices on the floor of the room, and on Merlin's body.

Merlin is working on the Ring of Balke, a powerful magic wizard that she still hasn't fully understood. However, this promotion, in addition to lifting the fourth layer of seals, also discovered a new use for the Balgrave Ring.

When the fourth seal is unlocked, the Ring can transform into an ice lizard. But beyond that, Merlin discovers that each time the ring breaks a seal, it can not only transform into a different lizard form, but also allow her to possess a related spell.

For example, in the first morph form of the acid poison lizard, Merlin gets the spell 'Acid Ball', the second morph is the birdcatcher lizard, and Merlin gets the spell 'Spider Web', the third morph is the sword lizard, and Merlin gets the spell 'Metal Skin', and the fourth morph is the ice lizard, and Merlin gets the spell 'Icepick'.

Interestingly, when Merlin casts these spells, she only needs to consume a small amount of mental power, and the magic power is basically undamaged, and it is completely provided by the ring...... In other words, as long as her mental power is okay, she can keep casting spells until the magic in the Ring is depleted.

"Metalskin!"

Merlin snorted softly, her skin tightened, and the surface of her bare skin quickly turned a silvery white, and her two palms struck lightly, and suddenly made a sound of metal colliding.

Bang!

She slashed at the corner of the table with a backhand knife, and with a soft 'click', the hard iron pear wood table corner was actually cut off with a palm, and the wooden block fell to the ground with a 'pop'.

"Hey, it's so sharp! If this is suddenly unleashed, it must be unguardable, right? I'm really looking forward to the next few rounds of lizard form!" Mélinn muttered.

At this moment, the communication crystal ball on the table suddenly made a 'buzzing' sound, and Mei Lin injected a spiritual power into it, and a little fat figure immediately appeared in the crystal ball.

"Merlin, are you busy right now?" asked the little fat man with a smile.

His name is Avery, and he is Merlin's agent, and since he successfully refined the wizard's staff, Merlin has begun to refine some small alchemy products and some small golems. Refining items requires energy, and even more so, a lot of magic stones, so Merlin found this Avery in the trading area to be her agent and help her sell those alchemy products. As far as the experience of most of the year is concerned, this Avery is not bad, he uses it easily, and his mind is quite powerful.

"Not busy, what's the matter?" Merlin asked, a little confused.

"The kind of warning golem you refined last time was very popular, and four more customers placed orders. Avery said.

"Well, tell them they can get it next week. By the way, Avery, what's the news in the trading area lately?" Merlin asked casually.

"I've heard that someone is peddling a potion recipe at a very high price, but that recipe seems to be defective. Avery said.

A high-priced potion recipe?

Or are there crippled ones?

When Merlin heard this, her heart immediately moved.

Although she majored in alchemy puppets in the academy, she still practiced potion refining in private. So she's very interested in any formula.

"Avery Tell me about the recipe again. Merlin said.

"Oh, you're interested in the recipe for the potion? Okay, I'll go and inquire right away. Avery was stunned for a moment, but quickly agreed to find out the news.

He'd been working with Merlin for a while, but he never knew that Merlin was interested in potions. muttering a few words in his heart, Avery didn't want to snub the gold owner, so he immediately went out to inquire, and after a while, he found out the true news, and contacted Merlin again:

"Merlin, come here, I've already contacted the person who sells the potion formula, he's leaving the Golem Academy today to go to other parts of the Alliance, if you don't come now, he'll just leave. ”

Avery's news made Merlin hesitate no longer, and she dropped what she was doing and headed straight for the trading area. You must know that the formulas of potions are regarded as treasures by pharmacists, and they are easily refused to show them, so even in the trading area, it is rare to see potion recipes traded.

Out of the Wizard's Tower, Merlin quickly rushed to the trading area and found Avery "Where?"

"Merlin, the seller is a knight with good strength. ”

Avery introduced as he walked: "In the trading area, occasionally there is a potion formula, it will be sold at a sky-high price, but an incomplete formula, the price fluctuation is relatively large, I contacted him just now, and he said that he will come to meet soon." ”

The two men met with the potion formulator at a café, and the two began to negotiate the details.

"You see, it is precisely because of the flaws in the formula of this 'Moon Essence' potion that they are ready to sell it for the price of four thousand magic stones. Of course, the missing part is not the key ingredient, according to our family pharmacist who tested this recipe, one out of ten finished products will come out of 10 effective. "The holder looks honest and gives a clear account of the cause and effect.

The Essence of the Moon is a potion that is one grade higher than the Spiritual Elixir, and it is very helpful for improving mental power...... Of course, there are also potions that increase mental power at the same level, but if you can master the refining method, at least it is much more affordable than buying similar potions, and you can also sell them. So when she heard the name, Mei Lin was a little moved, but there was a hesitant look on her face.

Seeing the expression on Merlin's face, Avery who understood it immediately began to lower the price, and after a few rounds, the seller agreed with a wry smile to the price of three thousand magic stones, and then a hand-copied potion formula was sent to Merlin for inspection.
