Merlin's home in the inner city of Angusari is a white villa with a courtyard, and flowers of different colors compete in the courtyard.

"Your family is quite rich." Green looked around.

This area is basically a single-courtyard villa, and in the floating city where every inch of land is valuable, this is probably one of the few luxury residential areas except for the royal city.

Merlin took out the key and opened the door: "Come in." ”

This is a Beihai-style villa with a hallway on either side of the kitchen and living room.

Green followed Merlin into the house. A giantess nearly three meters tall with her head almost touching the roof suddenly poked her head out of the kitchen.

"Oh~ Little Master, you're back." It was a bald giantess, with a red and green totem painted on her bare head, and her strong muscles seemed to break the blue maid outfit on her body.

"Ms. Ova, this is my classmate, Green." Merlin pointed to Green and introduced to the giantess.

"Hello." With a hideous smile on her face, the Giant Maid stared at Grimm, "Hello, I'm Ova. ”

Green had a blank expression: "Hello, Ms. Ova, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"Ms. Ova, did my mother say when she would be back today?" Merlin asked.

"Madame didn't say anything."

"I see."

After greeting the Giant Maid, Green and Merlin walked into the house together, after which Green went straight to the second floor with Merlin leading.

"Your maid's style of painting is a bit special." After making sure that the giant maid couldn't hear her, Green finally couldn't help but sigh.

"Special? No, it's ordinary. Merlin gave a look of course, "Aren't all maids like that?" ”

"Ordinary?" Green looked at Merlin with a suspicious expression, "What do you think an 'ordinary' maid should look like?" ”

"In my mother's words: loyalty, hard-working, feminine delicacy and strength better than men, while not worrying about cheating on the men in the family."

Green was silent for a while: "...... I see. This maid was hired by your mother...... What a shrewd woman. ”

"My mother has always been very confident in her own judgment." During the chat, Merlin had already led Green up to the second floor, "Here we are." This is my room. ”

Merlin pushed open the door to a room, and a simple-looking room appeared in front of Green.

The red carpet, the minimalist style bed, the wood-colored desk with some books, the corner bookshelf with some crystal balls, skulls, and some jars with biological specimens, etc.

Merlin put his luggage down: "You can sit down for a while, and I'll go to my mother's lab to get the materials." ”

"I'll go with you. I'd like to take a look at the tools you used to dispense your medicine before. ”

"Hmm...... Okay, too. ”

Merlin led Green downstairs to a solitary cabin in the backyard.

"You wait outside. I'll go in and turn off the alarm, and you'll come back in. Merlin told Greene, "Don't trespass until I say it's okay to come in." ”

"I understand."

Merlin pushed open the door to the cabin and stepped inside.

Green stood outside, carefully observing the cabin in front of him.

The wooden house looks very ordinary, but after using the Detection Magic Aura, you can see that the whole house is full of magical light, and there seem to be many spells arranged inside.

After a while, Merlin walked out: "Alright, you can come in." ”

Green walked into the cabin.

It's a modest lab, with a test bench in the center of the room with a lot of equipment, a few cabinets full of labels in the corner, and two shelves full of bottles and cans.

Merlin opened the cabinet in the corner and took out various materials from it: "Mandrake...... Cannibal Flower ...... Dream mushroom ......"

Soon, a variety of materials were placed on the table.

"These are the materials I used to make potions." Merlin gestured to the materials on the table.

Green began to examine the materials carefully......

Suddenly, Green's pupils shrank slightly.

————

Chaos Mushrooms: Mushrooms that have been transformed by the magic of Chaos, rich in magic and their spores have a strong illusionary effect.

————

This seems to be my family's chaos mushroom?

Green picked out the black mushroom mixed in the pile of dream mushrooms: "What is this mushroom?" ”

"Dream mushrooms, you should know each other, right? One of the more common materials in psychotropic drugs. ”

Greene: "...... Don't you think this dream mushroom is a little darker in color? ”

Merlin looked at the mushroom in Green's hand: "Hmm...... Sort of, indeed. It doesn't look very fresh. ”

Green's eyes narrowed slightly.

Both the Chaos Mushroom and the Fantasy Mushroom have illusionary effects, and in some ways they are very similar. It's just that the illusion effect of the fantasy mushroom only makes people fall into a state of confusion, while the illusion effect of the chaos mushroom can make people fall into a state of anger and rage.

Rage + rage≈ taunt?

Green felt that he might be on the verge of touching the truth.

"Let's follow the steps you've done to concoct the potion." Green suggested.

Merlin thought for a moment, "Hmm...... Are you sure this will work? ”

"The best way to find out what went wrong is to relive what you've done."

Merlin sighed, "Okay...... You can help me with the materials, and let's get started. ”

Greene: "Did anyone help you with the taunt potion you made in the first place?" ”

Merlin: "...... Feed! No way? Are you going to let me do it alone? ”

"We're going to go back to what you've done and all the steps you've taken to find the cause of the problem." Green reminded.

Merlin thought for a moment, "Well, it seems that this is the only way to go. ”

Merlin rolled up his sleeves and prepared to begin working on the materials.

Behind Merlin, Green pulled out his notebook and began to take notes.

Under Green's watchful eye, Merlin expertly cut off the leaves of the mandrake, got the spores of the dream mushroom onto a piece of parchment, and smashed the gem into powder with a grinder. Since it was not the first time that he had concocted a radiant potion, Merlin's movements were very skillful.

As Merlin threw the Chaos Mushroom spores into the cauldron, a cold glint flashed in Green's eyes.

More than an hour later, a pot of potion came out.

————

Nameless Elixir: A bottle of Elixir that emits a special mental fluctuation that emits an unpleasant fluctuation when applied to the body, which will become more intense if consumed. Some creatures that are sensitive to mental fluctuations will actively avoid you.

————

Not a taunting potion?

Looking at this description, this seems to be a bottle of "anti-monster potion"? It's the same recipe...... No, no, the recipe is different! The ratio between Chaos Mushroom Spore and Dream Mushroom Spore is completely random and has not been evaluated and measured, which is probably the reason for the difference in the effect of the potion.

"This must be a failed taunt potion...... Although it is 'annoying', it has not yet reached the point of 'ridicule'. Green touched his chin.

"Alright, we have to leave." Merlin quickly cleaned the alchemy tools he had used, and placed them in their respective places, "My mother may be back in a little while." ”

"Hmm...... Good. "Green put away the bottle of the 'Failed Taunt Elixir,' intending to study it slowly when he returned.

No sooner had Green and Merlin walked out of the lab door than they met a mature woman with glasses.

It was an intellectual woman, very tall, wearing a white alchemist's robe, and gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, full of intellectual feelings.

"Mother, mother, when did you come back?" Merlin's expression stiffened slightly.

"Just came back." The woman glanced at Green, "Do you guys have any interesting findings?" ”

"No, no. We're just experimenting. Merlin said in a panic.

Merlin's mother was silent for a moment: "...... I'll pretend I didn't find out you had something to hide from me. But, Merlin, I still have one thing to remind you. Lifting the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "I'm a knowledgeable magician, and you're trying to cover up the same way you did when you were a kid." ”

The expression on Merlin's face was like that of a dead fish: "......"

Facing Merlin's bitter gourd face, Green couldn't help but laugh: "Merlin, your mother is so funny. ”

Merlin's mother looked at Green, "Is this your lover?" ”

Green's smile instantly stiffened.

Merlin's mother turned to Merlin and said, "Although I know that you have an extra desire for intimacy because of your lack of affection, I didn't expect you to fall in love with a man. ”

"Mother, you have misunderstood. I'm not in that relationship with Green! Merlin quickly explained, "I'm not gay. ”

Merlin's mother was silent for a moment: "I'll pretend not to find out that you secretly took my alchemy notes last week and secretly concocted the radiant potion. But, Merlin, I still have one thing to remind you. Merlin's mother lifted her glasses on the bridge of her nose, "I'm an alchemist, and I know very well what potions can be made from those materials. And your desire to cover it up is no different from when you were a kid peeking at the pornographic magazines your father hid. ”

The expression on Merlin's face was like that of a dead fish: "......"

As Merlin's "lover", the expression on Green's face is also like that of a dead fish.

Looking at Green's expression, Merlin's mother thought for a moment, "Oh, you don't have to be so nervous. I'm an enlightened mother, and I'm not going to stop the relationship between you and Merlin. If the two of you want to have a child, I can introduce you to an alchemist who specializes in biological alchemy, whether it's 'transgender' or getting pregnant by other means. ”
