"Do you still read the rest of the story?"

Slightly put down the page in his hand, and Duan Qing, who turned around, had a little more helplessness in his eyes: "What to do" is written in the back, but I have written it dozens of times......

"It seems that His Excellency Magician's language skills are not as beautiful as those of the Imperial nobles." Xue Ling's gaze also moved away from the pages full of messy handwriting: "The only way to express your anxiety is to use a repeater. ”

"It doesn't seem like there's much value left in the rest of the content." Duan Qing flipped the notes back casually, and the scribbles that were already unrecognizable passed in front of the two of them again and again: "It's all this middle-aged uncle who keeps venting his anxiety......"

"Or rather, fear." He replied in a low voice, and the eyes of Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was pinching his chin, showed a light of thought: "I suddenly discovered the serious mistake I made, and because of this, I am about to lose the trust of the Lord...... If it were someone else, I guess I would have been in a state of panic for a long time. ”

"That's true."

His eyes kept wandering back and forth on the scribbled page in his hand, and Duan Qing then lifted his chin as well: "Judging from the way he showed when we finally met that middle-aged magician, this guy's mood is not as anxious as he shows in this notebook, either he is an extremely high-quality actor, or he has already crossed this biggest obstacle that belongs only to him......"

"That's the kind of question I should ask you." Xue Lingphantasm turned his face expressionlessly: "Aren't you often claiming to be a great alchemist?" ”

"Hmm, let me think about it." The corners of Duan Qing's mouth tugged at each other as his fingers kneading: "I got the recipe wrong, and I got one of the ingredients in the recipe wrong—this kind of situation will generally cause the properties of the refined potion to change to a certain extent." ”

"It's hard to say what exactly will become." A strange smile appeared on his face, "It could make this mutated potion a super potion like no other, or a poison aid like the one we encountered at the Outpost of Crook before......"

"If you want to tell if the potion was the result of Sherman's mistake at this time, it's probably impossible to verify it now." Xue Lingphantom Bing on the side flipped through the blank parts at the back of the notebook again: "I don't believe that middle-aged uncle would have such a high consciousness, and write down his most critical evidence and his cover-up techniques. ”

"He's a magician from an imperial nobility, and it's not impossible for this to happen." Duan Qing was patrolling back and forth to the other corners of this room: "And this is his private room, I won't be surprised if he leaves anything." ”

"Search here." He squatted down, trying to open the wooden door of the cupboard, and the next moment he stopped in the eyes of Xue Ling's phantom ice: "Even if you can't find any useful information......

"It would be nice to be able to find some useful loot."

The gradual sound of turning began to appear in this small and narrow room with the passage of time, accompanied by the figure of a man and a woman who began to walk back and forth, and the scene of the cabinets being opened one after another and the tables and chairs being moved began to appear in all corners of the room with the movements of these two people, and from time to time there were two people exclaiming to each other: "Oh, look what this is, tons of ruby gemstones!" Isn't that Sherman a magician with the dual attributes of water and wind? What's the use of him keeping so many fire-attribute philosopher's stones? ”

"You said it's useless, people are naturally thrown in this corner, and the useful aqualizuli and anchovil must have been taken away by him a long time ago, okay...... Hmm, what is this, a spare magic wand? ”

"Speaking of which, when we fought that guy, he was holding a similar magic wand...... Intelligence requires 30 points, but the increase in attribute value is so small, no wonder it's a standard magic wand. ”

"There were also a few spare magic robes, which seemed to be similar to the one Sherman was on...... Increases INT by 2 and Spirit by 2, adds 10% cast regeneration and 5% cast acceleration - ha, are all the current mage equipment so unsightly? ”

casually threw aside the ordinary magic robes in her hand, and the white-haired woman sat back on an ordinary wooden chair next to her angrily, moving her shoulders, which were a little sore from the long search, while turning her head to look at Duan Qing, who still looked interested: "That magician who almost killed us in the first place is really as strong as when he fought with us?" ”

"It may be that the strength of the people themselves is relatively strong." Duan Qingtou replied without looking back: "It's so strong that you don't need the powerful equipment that ordinary players like us rush to assist or something......"

"If that's the case, then wouldn't the bosses and the like we face have no point in fighting?" Sighing and saying this, Xue Lingphantom Bing, whose long hair was hanging low, curled her legs up to the surface of the wooden chair: "Since they don't drop their equipment, what else do we bother to fight with them?" ”

"It's not that you don't drop your equipment, it's just that you don't drop good equipment." Duan Qing burrowed half of his body into the window that had just opened in front of him: "Even if you don't need it, it's still very good to sell it for two dollars." ”

“…… Hehe. Holding his knees and looking at the gray-robed player, who kept checking the items in the window, Xue Lingbing involuntarily let out a few chuckles: "Are you still worried about money?" Even those who come with such quality do not refuse? ”

"Of course, you don't have to think about raising a family." Duan Qing's voice came out muffled from the constant sound of glass colliding in the window: "Don't look at the fact that there are only two people in our guild, our daily expenses are very large. ”

"It's not all your fault as an alchemist." Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, who rested his chin on his knee, looked at Duan Qing's silhouette with a radiant gaze: "If we continue to serve your alchemy in the future, maybe the assets of our adventure group will also be 'cleared' frequently." ”

"Is it all in your calculations?" The search paused slightly, and Duan Qing's head then poked out of the glass door behind the window: "Did you already anticipate such a situation when you named our guild?" ”

"I didn't! I don't want to give you that much money. ”

"Who told you to give me the name of the chief when you registered, I am now the one who holds the power of life and death...... What kind of eyes do you have, do you have an opinion? ”

"Absolutely! What about a change of gear for me? ”

"Uh, that's it...... Aha, why don't you pick out a magic robe here to wear first? I see that the color is also white......"

"I'm a swordsman now, a swordsman! Is this a magic robe, okay? And it's clearly written that I need 30 points of intelligence, even if I were to invest all my current points in intelligence, my equipment conditions would not be enough......"

"Oh, aren't the current top swordsmen all demonic and martial arts dual cultivators, there's nothing wrong with having a higher intelligence, if you're lucky, you may be able to become a frost dual sword warrior who is even more powerful than you were before...... Oops, hey, what are you angry about! ”

"Who told you not to open which pot to mention! My stuff is long gone now! ”

"That's also the number you deleted yourself, and I didn't force you to delete it...... Stop, stop! Clothes are going to be torn! ”

In the two quickly entangled fights, the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice that suddenly disappeared on the wooden chair then rolled into a ball with the powder fist he swung up and Duan Qing who was just trying to escape, and then in the chaotic sound of a wooden frame near the side of the room flipped to the ground, with a scream of pain as a temporary end. The gradually enlarged coquettish and the gradually shrinking begging for mercy then appeared between the two figures hugging each other, which was mixed with Duan Qing's actions of raising his hand to beg for mercy from time to time, and the snow spirit phantom ice riding on the man's body finally panted and put away his threatening expression, and whipped the white hair scattered on his shoulders back like a banner of victory: "In the future, at least give me an equivalent set of equipment as compensation!" ”

"Okay King, no problem King."

"Don't call me king, call me queen—call me by my name!"

"Okay, dear Ms. Lingbing, there are ...... Can you let me go first? ”

The corners of his mouth kept twitching back and forth, and Duan Qing, who was lying on the ground in a large shape, then lowered his gaze to the side: "By the way, help me bring that magic clay tablet, how about it?" ”

Following his gaze, Xue Lingphantom Ice then also paid attention to a gray-black clay slab lying on the ground not far from the two people, and the focus of his gaze that gradually gathered and formed then slowly moved forward along the position of the clay slab, and looked back and forth along the wooden frame that the two people had just knocked to the ground: "This thing...... Where did it fall out? ”

"Probably the Sherman guy is hiding here." Half-turning his body, the corners of Duan Qing's mouth slowly pulled out a smile: "And it's magical...... Yes, if it's a secret, the magician's way of recording is obviously a safer way. ”

"It's a pity that all these magical prohibitions disappeared with his death." Standing up quickly, Snow Spirit Phantom Ice scooped up the clay tablet that was still shining with gray-brown light in two steps: "I hope this record has not disappeared with the disappearance of his magic......

"In order to preserve it, the normal way of recording will not disappear so quickly." Duan Qing, who then got up, rubbed his wrist: "The question now is whether this thing is what we are looking for...... Not. ”

"It seems like a new recipe."

His gaze froze, and his voice then slowed down with the movement of his arm stretched forward: "The stamens of the agave, the sharp teeth of Glolo, the sap of the Hulan Iron Tree, and the fresh elemental blood ......"

"What's wrong?" Holding the bottom of the clay tablet together, Xue Lingphantom Ice cautiously asked, "These are the alchemy materials they used for experiments?" ”

"I don't know, I'm not an all-knowing all-purpose alchemist." Duan Qing's pupils gradually narrowed: "But these things all have one characteristic, that is, they all have different degrees of toxicity. ”

"Although I don't know anything about alchemy, you don't often use any poisonous dong when refining potions—wait." After hesitating slightly, Xue Lingphantom Bing's words of consolation just now stopped in mid-air: "There seems to be something written below." ”

She pointed to the bottom of the series, the inlay at the bottom of the magic clay tablet, where a few lines of engraved magic handwriting were gradually emerging under the reflection of the magic light, tearing at the blank space that should have been embedded in some kind of pedestal in a slightly crazy font: "I-"

"I've got a way."

"If what those people say is true, there must be a possibility that something in it can make up for the potions' shortcomings."

"Norman's theory may not be correct, and he is already dead! I will no longer be bound by the past of those Mage Councils, and I will do the great deeds of the Lord in my own way. ”

"Your Excellency will forgive me."

"Definitely."

Click.

Like the clay that had dried after encountering a high temperature, cracks suddenly appeared at the bottom of the magic clay tablet, and the debris that suddenly scattered was then slowly falling down the gap between the fingers of the two people, along with the interrupted chanting of the snow spirit phantom ice: "How, how can it be ......?"

"It seems that it is indeed starting to crumble because it has lost the protection of magical power." Letting those debris gradually disappear into the air, Duan Qing's gaze then became heavy along with his retracted fingers: "I see, everything was really done by Sherman. ”

"What did he do?"

"He's the one who made that cocktail into a drug."

Pointing to the surroundings of this room, Duan Qing replied to Xue Ling's phantom ice word by word: "He messed up Violet's experiment, and then followed someone's instructions to modify the formula, because it was already toxic, and the potion after the alienation covered up his original mistake. ”

Violet herself must have been unaware of the changes and blamed herself for the flaws in the revamped scheme. Speaking of this, his voice became deeper and deeper: "The 'by-product' of this experiment was then used by those who had a heart, and eventually evolved into one of the links to fulfill the prophecy and one of the levers to blackmail the great magician. ”

"Is that so?" Xue Ling's eyes widened: "But isn't he the closest person to Violet?" And he's so, so ......."

"So in love with the Great Magician, huh?"

Shaking his hair and letting out a low chuckle, Duan Qing, who turned around, reached out and touched the other party's head: "Not all hate will lead to a tragic end, and not all love will have a happy ending...... In the end, it may twist into a deformed monster that no one expects. ”

"This loving Lord Sherman...... must also be one of the poor people who suffered from gains and losses after being hot-headed, and finally walked towards the abyss. Speaking of this, he smiled at the stunned Xue Lingphantom Ice: "You ...... before"

"Isn't that how you came along?"
