The pink liquid is the newly improved repair liquid after Richard's breakthrough in the study of the blood seal. After some simple tests, he was able to determine that improving the repair elixir could speed up the recovery efficiency by thirty percent, as for the taste...... It's hard to say, if you want to know, you need to taste it for yourself.

"Whew"

Richard took a deep breath, unplugged the glass tube, and drank the liquid inside.

The liquid enters the mouth, and all the familiar flavors emerge: pulped sticky bananas, some expired tofu, concentrated bitter gourd juice, some rotten durian......

After these flavors, an explosive version of the experience, like a storm of wind on the stage, violently swept over all taste buds.

It was so intense that it was as if you poured a whole bottle of chili sauce into your mouth, and the lining of your mouth suddenly felt a burning sensation of overwhelmingness. The tongue froze, barely feeling it, and it took a while to recover. Then this intense sensation of spiciness, leaping down the throat, down the esophagus, and sliding towards the stomach, "boiling" throughout the body.

One second, two seconds, three seconds......

"Whew"

It took five or six seconds for Richard to let out a long breath and feel the inside of his body gradually calm down.

The improved repair elixir had an even better effect than he had estimated, speeding up the recovery efficiency by more than forty percent, but the corresponding taste was even worse.

If this continues, continue to take it orally, but I am afraid that it is no longer a good method, and intravenous injection can be properly considered.

With a wry smile, Richard took out another glass tube containing the potion from the cupboard, frowned and drank the potion, opened the door of the main laboratory, and walked out Today is the day when the antiquities exchange meeting is held again.

After exiting the door, Richard strode towards the outside of the Garden of Eden, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Pandora following with an empty wooden barrel.

Tilting his head slightly, Richard asked Pandora with some speculation, "Are you going up there again and watering your staff vine?"

"Hmm. Pandora nodded, giving a definite answer.

"Don't you think you're overwatering?" Richard reminded tactfully.

"Nope. Pandora shook her head and replied seriously, "According to the Somme Staff Planting Guide, the water I have watered is far from enough, and I need to continue to work hard." ”

"Uh, okay......" Richard said, and in his heart he had already sentenced the staff vine to death in advance: it should not even be able to hold on for half a week, after all, it was a staff vine, not a hydroponic spider plant.

The "Somme Staff Planting Guide" is simply misleading, and could have been renamed "One Hundred Ways to Kill Staff Vines". The author of this book is not a wizard who studies cultivation seriously, but should be a merchant who sells staff vine seeds.

With a belly, Richard and Pandora left the Garden of Eden and walked onto the ground.

Afterward, leaving Pandora in the courtyard to water the staff vines that had been planted, Richard stepped out the door and got into the carriage to the theater.

......

"Gollum ......"

The wheels of the carriage turned, and soon it reached the drama theater.

Richard walked into the hall on the third floor with ease, glanced at Abel and his party, who had arrived early, and casually found a seat to sit down, and began to watch the show on the drama stage.

This show, compared with the last time, is much more ordinary, no longer contrary to the mainstream, it is a love ethics drama, and its name is ...... Well, the life of Elizabeth III.

Among the characters who appear are: the Marquess Elizabeth III herself, her first lover, her second lover, her third lover...... The son of her first lover, the brother of her second lover, and the uncle of her third lover......

The plot progresses, and twenty minutes later, a sad ending is revealed: almost everyone dies in a war, and only Elizabeth III, and her third lover's uncle's daughter survive, and there is a hint in the play that this little girl will become Elizabeth IV.

At the end of the show, all the actors bowed and retreated, Richard rubbed his eyes lightly, quietly waited for the exchange meeting to be held, and thought seriously: the next exchange meeting may be a little later, although it is not very polite, but the current drama in Faro City is really not very consistent with his aesthetics.

Thinking like this, Abel, dressed as an old gentleman, stood up, and the gaze behind the single eye quickly swept the audience, and announced, "Alright, let's get started." ”

Richard noticed that Abel's voice announcing today was a little low and serious compared to usual.

Well?

Richard raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously guessed: Did something happen? Could it be that Abel was affected by the sad ending of the previous show?

Puzzled, he sensed that Able was looking straight at him.

He blinked and asked, "Mr. Abel, is there something wrong?"

"Wizard Richard, have you noticed that the number of people at today's meeting is a bit small?" Abel asked.

Richard turned his head and quickly glanced at everyone in the room, and found that the number of people was indeed small, only more than ten.

However, this is also normal, because the Antiquities Exchange is a loose organization, and participation is not mandatory in the first place, and members are often absent due to some trivial matters. Usually not even half of the people who attend the meeting, and occasionally two-thirds of the members attend, which is a rare grand occasion.

After reading it, Richard looked at Abel and said loudly: "Mr. Abel, the number of people today is indeed relatively small, but...... Anyway, isn't that normal?"

"This is indeed normal. Abel didn't deny it, he shook the civilization stick in his hand, let go again, and exhaled, "However, have you noticed that the Wizard of Lacey, who traded with you last time, is also absent this time? ”

Richard listened and frowned slightly, only to realize that Lacey did not come.

Anyway, if he has the opportunity this time, he will ask Reis if he has any insights on the blood seals for sale, which may help him in research.

The other party didn't come this time, which is indeed a small regret, but ...... Why does Abel attach so much importance to it?

"Perhaps, Wizard Reis, there is some urgency delayed?" Richard looked at Abel.

"Nope. Abel shook his head and responded, "He's not delayed, he's dead." ”

After hearing this, Richard raised his eyebrows, and his brain turned quickly: Abel told the truth of this matter with his current attitude, is he suspecting his hand to Reis? Speaking of which, he spent a high price to buy Reis's items, and if there is any dissatisfaction, it is indeed possible to find Reis in private and have a conflict.

So, was Abel tempting him?

Or is it overthinking, and Able is just telling a simple truth?

Richard pursed his lips, looked at Abel, and asked in confirmation, "Is Wizard Les really dead?"

"Yes. Abel nodded and sighed, "So, Wizard Richard, you must be careful." ”

"Why?"

"Because it's proof that the blood-colored seal you bought from Wizard Lacey last week is, as rumored, a hoodoo with a terrifying curse. ”
