Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 190 Elven Elixir
Andre was born as an attendant, and his ability to read words and emotions was also first-class, and standing by the door did not prevent him from seeing Roger's disappointment—or rather, this guy's joy and anger were simply clearly expressed on his face, as if he was afraid that others would not see him—and hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency has helped remove the curse from Lord Gregory's body this time, and your Excellency will definitely repay him with great gratitude in the future."
However, now that Master Gregory is seriously ill, I can't make up my own mind how to thank you, so I didn't take you to the treasure house, and I hope your Excellency can understand. As for this, this is actually my research room, and in my free time I will study some superficial magic theories here, because of the convenience of the map, I put all the herbs here, and I think there will be no shortage of them in the treasure trove of adults. ”
Roger didn't blush when he was seen to be careful, but just nodded slightly in understanding, and then turned his scrutinizing gaze on the dazzling array of herbs in the corner of the room.
Although Andre's research room has a grand façade, the internal space is not large, but it is slightly cramped and narrow because of the large and small wooden boxes piled up in the corner, and many grass stalks and branches are scattered on the wet ground.
The box where the herbs are stored is empty, and when he lifted the partition, Roger glanced at it roughly, and there was an urge to turn around and leave, the medicinal materials of different traits and different preservation methods were placed together at will, not to mention, the 'complete herbs' in Andre's mouth were probably just some common medicinal materials on the market, and it was quite lively to look at the flowers and greens together, as for the magic plant, there was only one kind of star source grass, just use these indiscriminate herbs, and I am afraid that a few tons of more than a few tons will not be able to extract enough to replenish the natural energy lost by Gregory.
But come to think of it, Gregory is only a philistine merchant, and André is only a second-order wild mage at best—there's no doubt about it, and after a short period of contact, Roger is convinced that he is by no means a professional— Perhaps because of the latter, Gregory spied into a corner of the wizarding world, but it was a bit difficult for him to invest a lot of money to store some materials that he might not use for a lifetime.
In the same way, Andre's 'magical research' presumably does not reach the level of the need for magical plants, which is almost immediately apparent based on the layout of this research room.
After a glance at the herbs, there is no need to repeat it, the wooden table opposite the box is a little interesting, maybe it is the first time to see the magician's research room, Linda can't hold back her curiosity, and with Roger's gaze, she carefully looks at the bottles and cans on the table.
The room was crowded, and the wooden tables were no less cluttered in order to maintain a uniform tone, with scratch paper strewn with strange symbols scattered on the table, dust, blades of grass, irregular crystals and even shriveled finger bones between the pages, porcelain bottles and jars filled with liquids of various colors, and porcelain urns on flames were still gurgling with some slime that had long been invisible.
As a modern magic research known for its data refinement, Andre's research room is obviously unqualified, while Roger is holding his forehead, Linda nodded inexplicably, maybe this kind of room layout is in line with the church's consistent propaganda for the evil existence of magicians, as for Roger, a guy who neither meditates nor studies magic on weekdays, she has long been labeled as a 'non-mainstream' magician.
Without the leisure to teach André the basics of a magical researcher, Roger frowned and pushed the clutter off the table, picking up a fairly clean grinding dish, and Juanjuan's clear stream flowed from his fingertips into the bowl.
"Who's over there, help me get some herbs, the amount is more, I'm going to adjust the recipe according to the cold ingredients you have here. Roger leaned almost on the table without raising his head.
"Let me think about it, mugwort, barnyard grass, broken camelina, psyllium, nettle, thyme, fennel, wild apple, these are all fine, I just saw them in you, and I also need thistle, a nettle, and a piece of charcoal, and a buckthorn seed, and no other magic plants? ”
Andre pricked up his ears and listened to Roger's instructions, put the materials into the basket, and his face became more and more exciting, even Linda, who often skips class, could hear that the spices in the materials selected by Roger were superfluous, although many spices can indeed be used as medicinal materials, but how does this guy look like he is going to do a picnic, at this time, even if he sends Andre to Vikz to buy two catties of sauce beef and come back Linda is not surprised.
But this time Roger really didn't plan to pit the dead fat man, after all, with Gregory's battered body bones, it would be really cool to toss again, and now Roger plans to mix potions and it is not an ordinary product, this secret recipe is the elf secret life medicine that he got from Caesar's guy back then, in the words of that guy, it can be 'life and death, flesh and bones', almost blown to the sky.
Roger naturally didn't believe Caesar's boasting, and he had to prove it to himself with the latter, who was only a third-order strength at that time, but the full version of the secret elixir of life needed to use the sap of the tree of life, and the sullen two intended to team up to steal the sap, so it was naturally not surprising that they were hung up and beaten by the elven senators who were still in the prime of life back then, and sternly warned the two not to approach the tree of life.
Therefore, even now, Roger has not seen the full version of the life potion, and if it weren't for Gregory's situation today, Roger would have almost forgotten this secret recipe.
Later, that guy became the head of the elves, and he could easily get the sap of the Tree of Life, but ......
Linda stared at Roger absentmindedly stirring the potion, feeling the man's aura gradually become tyrannical, as if she saw a flame about to emerge in Roger's dark eyes, as if everything around her was about to be burned up in the next second.
"Hehe, don't get distracted, the cauldron is about to burn dry!"
After Linda's soft reminder, Roger was pulled back from his long memory, and when he saw the small crucible with black smoke, he hurriedly squeezed the berries that had already been crushed into it, and a spicy smell suddenly rose, causing Linda, who had originally come over, to cover her nose and dodge.
"Huhu, almost pasted the pot, cooking, Ou, no, I really can't get distracted when blending......"
The berries tumbled in the cauldron, turning red and yellow in color, but distinct from their previous color, the result of the interaction of trace amounts of magical elements in the herbs.
Roger patted his cheek and cheered up, at this time, most of the various herbal materials had been used, and the deployment of the secret medicine of life had entered the most critical time, and every step after that would directly affect the quality of the elixir, and he could not be distracted at this juncture.
I saw Roger nervously twisting the star source grass, and even Linda, who was staring at him with wide eyes, didn't see what Roger did in that second at all, as if he was twisting his hands, and the star source grass with the thickness of the child's arm turned into a cloud of emerald green juice in the blink of an eye, suspended in Roger's palm, like an uncarved opal.
Because the original version needed the sap of the Tree of Life, which could contain almost everything, the amount of the Star Source Grass as a substitute had to be controlled very carefully, and the three of them stared at the droplet, and then Roger only had to carefully separate a trace and let it fit into the crucible......
"Ringing ringing!"
"Damn, my hand slipped, who's calling at this kind of ghost time!"
When all three of them were holding their breath together, the ancient copper bell hanging on the wall rang suddenly, and Roger's hand shook slightly, and a large drop of extract fell into the half-finished potion.
"Oops, it's all this time, I'm sorry, it should be Miss Wendy who is back, because the adults need me to take care of them here, and the big and small affairs of the Linghua Chamber of Commerce are handled by the young lady. ”
Looking at Andre with an apologetic face, and then at the 'secret medicine' that had turned into a pot of green paste, Roger, who wanted to cry without tears, shook his hand, and the pure ice crystals wrapped the extract of the star source grass: "Come on, this pot of potion is wasted, go down and find me a secluded place, now let's go and meet your young lady first." ”
After receiving Roger's approval, André bowed slightly, showed Roger and the others the path to Gregory's bedroom, and hurried along another passage to the gate.
"Okay, don't look at it, I'll show you what a 'modern' magic lab looks like when I have time, this shabby place is so shabby that magic apprentices will cry when they see it. ”
Throwing the ice crystals wrapped in the extract on the table, leaving a thermostatic circle, Roger dragged the unfinished Linda back to Gregory's bedroom, where Andre and Wendy were already waiting.
Wendy is still slightly chubby, wearing an elegant but not restrained long dress, since Gregory fell ill, Wendy has taken over the business of the Suzuka Chamber of Commerce, after such a long time of training in the mall, she looks a lot more capable.
However, this ability fell apart the moment he saw Roger, even though Wendy had learned of Roger's arrival from Andre and was a little prepared, but when he heard Roger's footsteps approaching, he instinctively shrank his neck, and it wasn't until Andre coughed lightly that Wendy came back to his senses.
