"We're sorry, we don't have the brandy you want." The bartender at the bar politely said, "There are fruit brandies, but there are not brandies that contain 10 kinds of fruits at the same time, because different fruits have different sugar contents, and mixing them together will affect the taste level of the brandy." If you don't mind, I can make you a cup of selected fruit and plain brandy. ”

"It's not going to work." Asker said regretfully. The recipe makes it clear that it is fruit-stuffed brandy, and it is naturally not possible to mix it with fruit after brewing.

Nola's pretty face was also full of frustration. The two have already run to no less than 20 taverns in the city, and none of them have the so-called "10 kinds of fruit co-brewed brandy" in the recipe, and even the reason for not having it is exactly the same.

"Do we really have to find a winery to make our own wine?" Nora frantically ruffled her hair, "If it's more convenient at my winery, I can find a winemaking expert to figure it out." The winery here is designated for brewing, and the normal process takes at least a week or more. ”

Ignoring her unconscious words of "my winery", Asker said:

"Well, a week isn't too long. Normal transcendents spend two or three years on the process of finding formula materials, which are at a normal level. ”

Of course, the "normal" here is for NPCs.

"I know." Nora said distressedly. It's just that because Eleanor became the first to become a lv1 transcendent, she has a sense of urgency that time can't wait.

"In that case, we can only use a radical approach." Asker said.

"What's the solution?" Nola's eyes lit up.

"Take this." Asker tossed her the citrine ring he had picked up from last night's corpse, "Let's go find someone from the Life Sect." ”

"Is this a token of the Life Sect?" Nora took the ring, flipped it over, and looked at it, and saw two words engraved under the bottom of the hedron ring.

Be on the alert, druids.

（Beware，druids.）

A tiny axe swung in succession can also chop down the strongest oak tree.

（Many_strokes_through_with_a_little_axe，hew_down_and_fell_the_hardest-timbered_oak.）

"Oh." Aske also saw the sentence, "That is the introductory precept of the Cult of Life: the oak tree is the sacred tree of the Cult of Life, referring to the Sect of Life itself; The tiny axe that swings continuously refers to the inconspicuous but endless danger of the outside world. ”

"I see." Nora felt that this sentence was very compelling, so she pulled out her precious notebook and copied it on the title page of the notebook.

"What kind of people are the Life Sect?" Reading this famous sentence repeatedly, Nora seemed to see an ancient hidden organization with a long history, through wars and changes and the vicissitudes of time, countless transcendent people have sacrificed one after another, just so that the sect can stand in the long river of time.

"If you really want to label it." Asker thought for a moment and said, "Peasants, poor, vegetarians, old-fashioned food, a lot of old men and old women. ”

"Ugh." Nora felt that some illusion in her heart had been shattered.

After a few turns on the Junbao subway, the two soon came to a building. Nora looked intently and saw that the door number hanging on the building was:

Constantinople Municipal Garden Construction Association.

Through the porch, the two entered an open-air courtyard separated by a stone path with countless flower beds with a variety of exotic flowers.

There were researchers in white coats, gardeners in blue overalls, and some nobles who knew they were in their clothes, pointing to the flowers and talking about something.

Asker took Nora and went directly to the oldest old lady on the scene and took out the citrine ring to show her.

The old lady with a confused face: ???

"I'm sorry." Aske said, then found an old man next to him, took out the ring and shook it in front of his eyes.

The old man with a puzzled face: ???

"I'm sorry." Aske said, turning back to his next target. Finally, a middle-aged man in a gardener's uniform couldn't stand it anymore, came out and pressed Asker's shoulder, and said:

"What are you, sir? Our association does not allow non-members to come and go at will. ”

He dragged Asker to a corner where no one was around, and Nora had a wry smile and anxiety on her face, and she could only hurry to follow.

When he came to the corner, the middle-aged man lowered his voice and said:

"Who are you? How did you come to have this ring? ”

"That's right." Asker spent 40 pounds on a note from the Transcendental Party to get to Dorok 44, and then he was attacked in the house, and finally he confessed to the killing.

As for how to find this place, he deduced that dirt had been found on the soles of the boots of the corpses in the house, so he suspected that it was someone in the imperial capital who was engaged in flower-related work.

"I see." The middle-aged man took the Life I and Light I formulas he handed over, as well as the citrine ring, "Thank you very much for bringing back these things, this is indeed something from our Life Sect." ”

He sighed faintly: "The deceased is also our parishioner. Recently, the Astral cult has been attacking us more and more frequently, and we have already had several clashes in Constantinople. ”

"Your Excellency, aren't you worried that we are spies of the Spirit Sect?" Nora asked cautiously. She originally thought that the other party should be on guard against all kinds of suspicions and all kinds of clever temptations, just like what was written in the legendary novel. Unexpectedly, Aske just told the truth, and the other party immediately believed it.

"Don't worry." The middle-aged man said with a smile, "The Spirit Body Sect is all capable of the Spirit Sequence, and the spirits all over the place are their eyes, so they don't need to hire spies or spies at all. ”

"You're here for the materials of Life I or Light I, right?" He looked at Asker again.

"Not bad." Aske said frankly, "This companion of mine wants to obtain the potion material for Life I, and he is currently short of the adjunct Fruit-stuffed brandy. ”

"The main material comes from this parishioner who died of ours, right?" The middle-aged man asked solemnly. In an instant, Nora thought that the other party was about to attack, but she saw Asker also ask:

"yes, you want to buy it back?"

"200 pounds." The middle-aged man said, "Or the equivalent main material, 3 flowers of the Tree of Eden." ”

"Deal, we choose the main material." Aske nodded, and then explained to the bewildered Nola, "The transcendent qualities harvested from the corpse will have the spiritual will of the deceased himself remained. If it is made into a potion and consumed, the probability of losing control will be a little higher. For the Life Sect, they can instead obtain information from the remaining spiritual will and find clues to the murderer of the deceased, so this transaction is beneficial to both of us. ”

"This young lady is still an ordinary person?" The middle-aged man looked at Nora with interest.

"Yes, I'm getting started." Aske laughed, "There's a lot of secret knowledge that needs to be popularized for her." ”

"I have an offer." The middle-aged man said seriously, "I wonder if you are willing to join our Life Sect?" ”

"Me?" Nora was surprised.

"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded, "Joining our Life Sect, you will have the opportunity to get in touch with more Life Sequence recipes, as well as exchange them for the corresponding main materials. If the merit is sufficient, our 'Shepherd' bloodline route can also be given to you. ”

"Why choose me?" Nora looked at Asker in confusion, and then at the middle-aged man, as if a big pie had smashed on her head, and for a moment even had an unreal and illusory feeling.

"Because the Life Sect is in dire need of fresh blood." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Do you think that our sect's membership is just like the legend, still implementing strict long-term political examination, cautious and cumbersome mental investigation, and one-way joints to ensure a secret mentorship system?" This was true in the past, but that system has proven to be out of fashion. For at least the last hundred years, the scale of expansion of our Life Sect has lagged far behind that of the Spirit Sect. ”

"The Astral Sect has released a low-level recipe for the Undead Sequence, using the gimmick of becoming transcendent to attract newcomers. Such an approach will certainly attract a lot of impure minds, but the rapid expansion of scale can make up for these shortcomings. However, our previous elder group used the old method of managing the family to manage the sect, and the final result could only be that the development speed was far behind. The middle-aged man took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, "Two, is it convenient to add a friend?" ”

Your sect is too up-to-date! Askexin said, how is this a little different from the life sect he knew in his previous life? The two had to take out their mobile phones and exchange CM's friends with the middle-aged man.

(CM, or Community, is a mobile social software in the world of "Iron and Fire", similar to a combination of WeChat and Renren.) CM is an international Internet company located in the city of Solomon on the Italian peninsula)

I saw that the other party's nickname was directly the name "Killian. Bonat", Asker's nickname is only the name "Asker", and Nora's CM nickname is "Princess.Norah".

Killian and Aske froze for half a second, then turned to look at Nora in unison. The latter immediately blushed, and with a certain expression of shame and embarrassment, he waved his hand in a panic and explained:

"That! The nickname of the CM account was given when I was a child! Because the nickname can't be changed, and then there are too many friends in the address book and I am reluctant to delete it, so I have been using it until now......"

She could barely speak, covering her face as if she was about to cry. Who would have thought that just adding a secret organization would actually exchange CM friends!

Asker said expressionlessly: "It's okay, Your Highness, I also used to have a second year of secondary school." ”

"That's right, Your Highness." Killian also said seriously, "I often call my daughter 'little princess', and she is still very happy. ”

"Don't call me Your Highness." Nora said weakly, with a self-defeating "whatever you say" expression, "Please forget about it." ”

"Ahem." Killian coughed, "I'll send you a small program first, you click on the link, and fill in the application form inside." After the application is approved, I will pull you into the subgroup of our Life Sect. ”

With a gray expression on her face, Nora pressed her phone and began to fill out the form. Asker chatted with Killian for a few more days, discussing and exchanging some secret knowledge, and then left with Nola.

Killian looked at the application form submitted by Nora on his phone, her name was "Nora. Valennis. Licinius", which is a classical Solomonic name, is not often given by this name in Italy and the city-states. There is no background in the relationship of any otherworldly family, which is also expected by him.

So he clicked the approval button.

After about two hours, he was working hard in the flower bed when he suddenly received a call from the Great Elder Borian.

"What about the new applicant?" The Great Elder said solemnly.

Killian hurried to the door of the guild building: "She should have left." ”

"Okay, if the other party has any needs, contact me as soon as possible." The Great Elder said.

"That young lady, is it really His Highness?" Killian could hear that something was wrong with the Great Elder's tone, and he had a feeling of being overly serious, and an unbelievable thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

"She's not Your Highness." The Great Elder's tone was strange, and he said after a while, "However, it is far superior. ”
