Chapter 242: Potions and Taunts
"I'll go to the Potions teacher to buy materials, you go to Rhaenys to borrow their alchemy tools, and then we'll meet at the door of the boys' dormitory!" Now that he had made up his mind, Merlin immediately took action.
Magic is forbidden in the mixed dorms, and mana fluctuations above a certain threshold will trigger a mana-aware alarm in the dorms, so Green and Merlin have to switch to a "safe" place to mix potions.
Merlin left in a daze, and Green left an enchanter in the room to act as a guard and went straight to the normal dormitory.
The dormitory was divided into two buildings, the men's dormitory and the girls' dormitory, and Green shouted Rhaenys' name a few times downstairs in the girls' dormitory, and a half-elf girl poked her head out of the room.
"Green? Can I help you? The half-elf girl wondered.
Greene: "Leenys, do you have any tools for potion alchemy?" ”
"Yes!" The management of regular dormitories is not as strict as that of mixed dormitories, so it is common to study potions in dormitories, and many magicians have alchemy tools in their rooms. Of course, it's not uncommon for experiments to go wrong and cause the room to explode.
"Borrow, Merlin and I need to mix up a little potion."
Hearing Green's words, Rhaenys thought for a moment, "Yes. What potions do you want to make? ”
Greene: "Hmm...... A very ordinary magic potion, equivalent to a ring of spell-level ordinary magic potion. ”
Green didn't say a specific name, but Rhaenys seemed to understand something: "I understand, wait for me in a moment." ”
Rhaenys returned to the room.
Rhaenys' room was a bit of a mess. There are a large number of manuscripts on the desk, and various bottles and jars are placed on the laboratory table, which is full of the atmosphere of a chemistry laboratory.
Lenys looked around at the many tools on the table: "Concoction potion?" ”
Libras, test tubes, measuring cups, petri dishes, droppers, porcelain bowls, etc. Soon Rhaenys packed her things, packed them into a special portable alchemy suitcase, and left the room.
Downstairs in the dormitory, Rhaenys came to Green's side.
"What potions are you going to make?" Rhaenys asked quietly.
Green looked around: "Merlin is going to concoct the 'Radiant' potion. ”
Hearing Green's words, Rhaenys raised her eyebrows: "If I'm not mistaken, this kind of mind control potion should be forbidden." ”
"Yes. It doesn't matter, though. "Green knows exactly what it takes to get these "top students" interested, "Merlin had a little trouble mixing the Radiant potion before, and instead of making the Radiant potion, he came up with a completely new potion! ”
"A brand new potion?" Rhaenys' eyes lit up, and she seemed intrigued.
"A potion that will make the user very nasty!" Greene paused, "I call that potion 'Mockery Potion.'" ”
Lenys frowned slightly, as if she couldn't understand it.
"Hmm~ You'll understand when you see Merlin later." Green paused, "I think that new potion is much more useful than the glowing potion!" If used wisely, many times it is enough to change the situation of a war. ”
"The radiant potion is just a potion version of 'seducing humans', and the effect on the superordinarily strong is worrying." Rhaenys doesn't have much affection for this type of mind-control potion.
"Here's the problem! That "taunt potion" even had a certain effect on me! Green pointed to himself, "Do you see what I mean?" ”
Rhaenys looked at Grimm and thought for a moment, "You mean to say that the potion is also effective against transcendents with extremely high magic resistance?" ”
"Yes. Although the effect has been diminished, it is not completely ineffective! Glinn paused, "I guess it has something to do with the type of effect." 'Like' and 'dislike' are two completely different feelings, and it is very difficult to be 'liked', but it is easy to be 'hated' if you want to be 'hated'. No matter how likable someone is, there will always be people who don't like it, but in the face of a disgusting guy, even someone who is good at controlling their feelings, they will still feel disgusted. ”
"It's kind of interesting." Rhaenys became somewhat interested in what Green said, "The 'taunt potion' is a by-product of the 'radiant potion'? ”
"I don't quite know how Merlin did it." Green paused, "But if Merlin can decide on the recipe, I'll be happy to pay for it." ”
Green couldn't take the drug, because no matter what potion was drunk by Green, it would be transformed into chaos magic, and it couldn't exert the effect of the potion itself. But Green is not alone, and although Green can't drink it, he can take it back and let his men drink it.
Anyone who has played online games knows that "taunting" is a good skill. If used correctly, it may be able to bring miracles on the battlefield!
Standing downstairs in the dormitory, Green and Rhaenys discuss the use of the "Taunt Potion", and Rhaenys's interest is successfully seduced by Green.
Just as the two were chatting, Merlin finally came late.
"Two, I've been waiting for a long time." Merlin was holding a pocket in one hand and covering the scarf on his face with the other, for fear that his face would be exposed, "Did you bring the alchemy tools?" ”
"Here." Rhaenys patted the box at her feet.
"Oh~ great, it really helped." Merlin glanced in the direction of the boys' dormitory, "Let's go, let's go borrow Jim's room." ”
Green, Merlin, Rhaenys, and Jim, the four of them are now very familiar with each other after the study meeting some time ago. Since magic is forbidden in mixed dormitories, and it is impossible for boys to enter the girls' dormitories, Jim's dormitories often serve as laboratories for four people.
With their things in hand, the three of them quickly arrived at Jim's dorm room.
Jim isn't in the dorm, but Rhaenys has the key to Jim's room. The trio entered Jim's room without incident, and lifted the trap from the door.
Rhaenys excelled in apothecary, while Jim excelled in alchemy and enchantment, so Jim's room was filled with metals and ores.
Everyone cleared the table for the experiment, closed the doors and windows to prevent the flow of gas, and then began to prepare the potion mixture.
"Take off your scarf, you're not going to dress up like this for potions, are you?" Rhaenys looked at Merlin with curiosity on her face.
Merlin looked at Leenys, "...... You've got to make sure you don't hit me. ”
"Don't worry, I've already heard the specifics of the situation. This kind of mind control medicine is only effective if there is no psychological preparation, and if there is psychological preparation in advance, the effect will be greatly reduced. ”
Merlin hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly untied the scarf on his face.
Rhaenys was silent for a moment: "Your face looks uncomfortable, it's disgusting like a bustard in a brothel. If you suddenly see such a face, it is indeed possible to punch it. ”
Merlin cried with a sad face: "Don't say it so easily. I must now craft a real radiant potion and remove the taunt from me. ”
Lyeny turned her head with a look of disgust: "You better put on the scarf, looking at your face, I can't bear it." ”
Merlin hung his head and picked up his scarf and wrapped his head around it.
"Okay, no more gossip." Green spoke, "Let's help Merlin remove the effects on his body first." Once we've got the normal glow potion in place, we'll go back to the taunt potion. ”
Rhaenys took a deep breath, "Okay." ”
