Chapter 403: Wake Up
Bogin-Bock was a little lost for a while under the blow of Tang Bai's cold to almost cold words. However, Tang Bai did not stop there, he continued: "If it is said that it is inducing you to unblock it, then the situation on our side has become more complicated and troublesome. ”
"From the beginning, it took seven years, and only a small amount of information was deconstructed and unblocked, but in the next year or so, the speed of deconstruction and unblocking has increased by strange leaps and bounds. This is not normal! I thought you would have been able to spot the anomaly. But depending on your state, you don't. ”
"Maybe you're paying too much attention to the artifact, so obsessed with completely deconstructing and analyzing it, and then breaking the shackles on yourself, allowing your own slow, near-stagnant alchemy to rise to a new level again, so that you ignore too many details that need attention."
"In my opinion, none of these mistakes should you have to make. Whether it's your own reason, or because the unsealed artifact lured you. ”
Borgin Bock looked depressed. Tang Bai's words were like thunder, exploding in his ears, calming down his fanatical emotions, and at the moment they were cooling. When the frenzy faded and the suppressed calmness and sanity resurfaced, Borgin Burck also realized from his memories some of the anomalies he had overlooked in deconstructing the artifact over the past year.
When did he become radical and fanatical, and obsessed with unsealing the artifact, deviating from the purpose of its original deconstruction and analysis?
When did he become so obsessed with sleep and food that he forgot to eat? No wizard or alchemist would do this unless it was necessary. Because there is not enough rest, the mental and physical strength that is strong, forcibly practicing spells, or using alchemy to refine and research, the progress effect is not only a world of difference between the gains achieved in a full state of energy, but the gap is also obvious.
But he seemed to be enchanted at that time, and subconsciously left these things that should have been paid attention to behind and ignored the past. Thinking about the past nearly a year, especially the time and workload in the last two or three months, Bogin-Bock, who has come to his senses, has a cold feeling from the bottom of his heart.
He hadn't worked so hard in the previous seven years, but in the past nearly a year, he had been immersed in unsealing the artifact, and if he said that his state of obsession like a demon had nothing to do with the Trident of the Sea God, Bogin Burke himself didn't believe it.
From this point of view, what Tang Bai said was not deceiving him.
As an alchemist who prefers to refine some dangerous alchemy items, Bogin-Bock thinks that he has enough vigilance, experience, and resistance to these dangerous alchemy items. But now, he suddenly realized that the confidence in his heart was a little too inflated and arrogant.
Alchemical objects that attract the attention of a wizard and then immerse him in their own charm are not uncommon. There are also some such alchemical objects that he deconstructed and analyzed. Therefore, he was well aware of the limitations of this type of alchemical product and its dangers.
To put it bluntly, this kind of alchemy item that has the effect of confusing people's minds and immersing them in a certain state of obsession has a necessary ability in the beginning. That's what a person desires most in their hearts! It can be understood as a person's pursuit, **, or it can become a weakness!
Botched alchemy items can easily be punctured by shrewd and cautious wizards, and then destroyed, or discarded. The best ones are those that can indulge even a shrewd wizard. Some of these items are just pranks and don't hurt much, while others are real dangerous items!
Borgin-Burke thought that he would not give them any chance when faced with these alchemical items. But his confidence was completely weakened and shattered in front of the trident of the sea god. Immersed in it for so long, even though his physical and mental condition was on the verge of collapse, he still didn't realize it. This is no longer just a matter of whether he is cautious or not, but the gap between him and the "god" behind the artifact.
"Merlin's beard." Borgin-Bock opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he only spat out a phrase that seemed meaningless. "I've been in a state of enchantment for nearly a year. This seems to have been more pronounced in recent months and months. Merlin......" Borgin Burke added again, his face still not good.
"What you need now is rest. That artifact, let's put it away for the time being. Tang Bai stepped forward and handed the potion brewed in his hand to the depressed and gloomy Bogin Bock: "Drink it, and then recover your spirits, and your bad condition may be alleviated after waking up." After that, recuperate and you'll be back to normal. ”
"Thank you." Bogin-Bock reached out and took the potion handed over by Tang Bai, and swallowed the sleeping potion that was still swollen with hot bubbles on the surface of the cup.
Once the previous exuberant spirit declined, even if the various refreshing potions in the body were still working, the kind of sudden relaxation and abrupt swept out, so that Bogin Bock's spirit, which had been strong by the potion, completely collapsed at once.
Borgin Burke didn't want to think about anything now, he just wanted to drink a lot of potions from the cup, and then find a comfortable big bed to lie down and have a good rest.
Let the house-elf Creek Ruwe take away the tired Bogin Bock, while Tang Bai sat in the soft chair and thought.
Bogin-Bock's strange state made Tang Bai find a similar plot from his memory. Ginny Weasley, the youngest child of the Weasley family, seems to have been in a similar state at Hogwarts.
But neither Ginny Weasley nor her state of immersion in the lure of the Horcrux book could compare to Borgin Burke this time. Ginny Weasley was just a kid after all, and neither willpower nor psychology could compare to Borgin Bock.
In other words, it would be difficult for a master alchemist like Borgin Bock to immerse himself in it like Ginny and then be controlled by the soul inside. But the Trident of the Poseidon made Bogin Bock unknowingly immersed in the devil for at least half a year! That's the gap.
