Chapter 1988: Battle Trials in the Dawn (23)

At the same time (?), inside the Aurora, in the workshop of the great mage Logan.

Kate and Aubert play with blocks on the spread carpet.

It was a kind of building block that Old Man Logan bought in order to coax the little ghosts, each of them was only the size of a soybean, but the accessories were varied and colorful, as long as you used your imagination, you could change and build countless possibilities, so even if it seemed to be just a toddler toy, the two little ghosts still had a lot of fun.

"Well, is this a castle?" Bediville couldn't help but admire the imagination of the two imps as he watched the two children put something resembling some kind of architectural structure out of a large amount of earthy gray. And it wasn't small, knee-high as Beddyville, and it was a surprising feat that such a magnificent brick castle was basically built in just over an hour.

"It's the legendary city of Camelo!" replied the little tiger, wagging his tail, "Look, this is the city gate, this is the fort." The gates are still moving structures that can be opened!"

"It's amazing, it's amazing. Bediwell echoed, "You know the city of Camilo?"

"Where have I seen it before. Kate replied.

"I've seen it in textbooks. Tiger boy Aubert replied.

Both imps have intriguing answers. But it is undeniable that they must have seen this Camilo City, otherwise it would not have been possible to restore this castle with blocks so accurately from memory. And they went their separate ways, one building one side, but the castles on both sides were surprisingly symmetrical, as if the two children had a heart.

"Very good, very good, after making the castle, I will make some iron riding models by the way. Logan was busy studying on the chemistry bench next to him, and said perfunctorily.

Bedeville couldn't help but glance at the old mage. I thought that taking care of one more child would make Logan even more scrambling, but who knew that the old man had a deeper routine and would use a toy like building blocks that can kill time to consume the energy of the little ghosts. And Kate is not easy to take care of alone, she is too naughty. After adding an even more naughty Aubert, the two little ones became much more honest because they had playmates, and they only cared about playing in the boat, and did not do anything in the boat. Is this lucky or unlucky?

Bedigwell glanced at Logan's workbench again. The old man's workbench was really full of tricks, but what he was focusing on at the moment seemed to be the extraction process of a plant essence. A large gooseneck flask is filled with plants that appear to be fire succubus flowers, soaked in water, while an alcohol lamp heats up underneath, boiling the liquid soaked in the plants. As a result, the distilled water is carried away by the condenser tubes, leaving behind the medicinal ingredients that the plant dissolves in the water and gradually increases in concentration. This is obviously a very simple extraction process, but Logan is extremely engrossed in it, and he doesn't know what the mystery is.

"Aren't the flower seeds of the fire charm flower a dangerous product?" the half-understood werewolf youth then asked, "Once the oil of that thing burns, I'm afraid this chemical workbench will explode?"

"The flammable part has been removed, and I want another medicinal ingredient from the flower to add to the new flavor of Photon Cola. ＂

"Here you go out today, can you really sell that kind of thing?" Bediwell was skeptical, grinning, "Why don't Lawrence go out today and come back with as many boxes of Coke as they want, and not a single bottle of Coke can be sold?"

"No, don't worry. Logan smiled disapprovingly: "Anyone who has drunk it will definitely understand the benefits of Photon Coke." Then it's going to sell like crazy. I can guarantee it. ＂

Bediwell smiled disapprovingly: "Isn't it just a cool drink, so amazing." ＂

"It's magic. Logan stopped what he was doing, waved at Bedeville and smiled, making a pompous gesture.

"Huhuhu, I don't believe it. ＂

"Don't believe it?" The old man put a bottle of Photon Coke in front of the werewolf youth, took out a gold pocket watch, and used the pocket watch to match the time with the big clock in the workshop: "Take this watch, drink the whole bottle of Coke in one go, and see for yourself what is actually happening." ＂

"It depends on what medicine is being sold in your gourd. Bediwell really didn't believe how amazing Logan's drink could be, so he picked up his pocket watch and drank the whole bottle of Photon Coke at the same time.

Coolness spreads all over the body, and it's only a matter of seconds. It's not an exaggeration to say that this is a kind of magic, but the magic that cools the human body is actually not a particularly magical thing, isn't it just a little thermodynamic negative entropy.

"Don't procrastinate. Master Logan urged from the side. His voice seemed a little muffled, a change that could only be detected by Bediwell's particularly sensitive puppy ears.

So the werewolf looked at the hands of the gold pocket watch in his hand, and then at the hands on the large indoor clock. At first, there really wasn't any difference, but as more than ten seconds passed, Bediwell began to see why, and the hands on the pocket watch in his hand were obviously beating half a beat higher than the hands of the large clock in the room, and the slowness became more and more obvious as time went on.

A minute later, the hands of the pocket watch in Bediwell's hand jumped three times less than the hands of the large indoor clock------ which means that Bediwell had only lived fifty-seven seconds in a minute that had taken him one minute in real world time.

Where did the three seconds he missed in a minute of his life go?

So the werewolf youth turned his gaze to the elder beside him.

"What are you guessing?" Logan grinned, "It's just an application of time magic." ＂

"What?"

"More correctly, it's [the negative entropy of time]. Highly diluted and added to the grass juice of the mandala grass in the cola allows the person who drinks the drink to have a [slowdown] effect for a short time. Master Logan explained

"I still don't understand...... ＂

"What a stupid apprentice. Did you notice it when you used [Acceleration Water] before?" Logan looked at the werewolf youth with caring stupid eyes: "Inject [Acceleration Water] with [positive entropy of time] into your body, and your body will gain [extra time] for a short time." You speed up, and the whole world slows down to you. Now it's just the process reversed. ＂

"I ...... [slowed down]?" Bediwell scratched his head, "So, uh, so the world is [getting faster] for me?"

"That's right. After drinking the dilution of the mandala grass, the flow of time in the outside world becomes a little faster for you, and the end result is that the world has actually passed a minute, but only fifty-seven seconds have passed for you. Do you understand what I say?"

"It's a bit confusing...... Probably understood...... Bediwell scratched his head again: "Does this thing have any side effects?

"Simply put, after drinking the drink, you're in a state of [slowing down], and every minute is less than a few seconds for the drink to be active. Your metabolism is a few seconds slower than it should be, and the amount of heat released and the accumulation of heat by your body is slowed down by a few seconds. In the end, because of the difference of a few seconds, you feel [cool]. ＂

"Just because of this small difference, it's ...... ＂

"The devil is in the details, stupid apprentice. Logan smiled mysteriously.

Bedivel paused, as if thinking of something, and suddenly exclaimed, "Wait...... What kind of photon cola did you come up with from the beginning, it wasn't just to make money, right? This is another experiment of your time magic? And it's a large-scale, experiment on civilians?!"

The old man narrowed his eyes: "That's right." Any questions?"

"Unbelievable! I did this experiment for you without even knowing it! If there are any side effects of this thing......!"

Logan quibbled: "It's just slowing down the human body's biological time by a mere one or two seconds per minute, and it won't make a big difference." Or is it just the opposite, because the metabolism slows down, and people who drink too much [Photon Coke] are afraid that they will live longer?"

Bediwell was silent.

"We're back!" Lawrence and Palamides also rushed back from the black market in Cairo.

As soon as Paramides entered the workshop, he took out a money bag and said to the old mage, "Your Coke is selling like crazy, and the boxes of stock you have taken out are all empty. We made a small profit, but we were also in trouble with the Drug Administration, and the box of Coke [Sleep Flavor] was confiscated and not delivered to the Brotherhood. ＂

"Isn't it already stuffed with money?"

"!" Lawrence complained angrily, "It seems that it is not enough to just stuff money into the Food Administration, the Drug Administration is also planning to intervene." What a loss now!"

"Wait, what have you all done?" Bediwell was taken aback when he heard the conversation between the two: "Please don't tell me that you paid to bribe officials?!"

"What's the big deal? It's very common in Egypt. The old mage said disapprerovingly: "After all, it is a country where corruption is rampant and rotten, and the problem that can be solved by just stuffing some money is not a problem at all." To put it another way, Egypt is a good country full of freedom. The Drug Administration asked for money, so it was stuffed into them. If even the approval of the Drug Administration is issued, this time it should be possible to sell it unscrupulously, right?"

"But ------"

"Okay, we'll definitely earn the money back, so let's think of it as an initial investment. Logan still said disapprerovingly: "[Photon Coke] has as many ingredients as there are." In the end, it's just carbonated water with seasonings. Whether it's sugar or carbonated water, this ship can be synthesized directly from air and water, completely free. The seasoning is also extremely inexpensive, and we can get most of the ingredients in our own plantation. A business that has no profit will eventually make money as long as there are sales. ＂

"Since you say so...... Lawrence has no more opinions.

"I always think that you are all hiding from me and doing a lot of things behind my back?!" The more Bedeville listened, the more angry he became: "Who told you to use the resources of the Dawn to produce these things?------ Eve?!"

"The crew asked to improve the recipe of the drinks on board, and they could go directly without the permission of the captain. The ship's artificial intelligence navigation system replied.

"Unbelievable!" Bediwell spat angrily, feeling betrayed.

"Huhu, it's okay, stupid apprentice, don't be angry. There is already your share in the dividends, you just have to sit and wait for the money to be collected. Old Logan grinned.

"Then again," Palamides interrupted the conversation, "have you seen Segrade?"
