Chapter 915: Busy
And just as Nack was about to enter the storeroom, another thin old man came from a distance, and before he could get closer, he shouted, "Nack, bring me twenty knots."
Nack stopped, turned around and said with a wry smile: "Master Macarorone, Joan has already left all the knots, if you want, I can only find you five or six flowers here, or wait for the caravan to come back." β
Apothecaries are indispensable to any force, and the Dark Temple is no exception. Although Sendros is a very accomplished potion master in his own right, he is still the leader of the Dark Temple, and it is impossible to spend all his time on dispensing potions. Moreover, the preparation of potions is Sendros's interest, but it is not his pursuit, his real pursuit is still to hope that one day he will step into the realm of the Sanctuary and become a Sanctuary powerhouse standing at the peak of the Anriel world. Therefore, the person who is responsible for preparing the potions that the Dark Temple needs on a daily basis still has a special group of pharmacists to do it, and Macarol is the chief apothecary of the Dark Temple.
Although Makarora's strength is only a seventeenth-level archmage, with the identity of the chief apothecary, he also has a considerable status in the Dark Temple, even if it is Sendros and several high priests of the Dark Council, every time they see him, they are very polite.
It's just that in the past few days, Makarolai has been in a very unhappy mood, and has come to the warehouse several times to get the herbs he needs, but several times he has been told that someone has taken them all in advance. However, when he went back to ask his pharmacists, none of them admitted that he had taken herbs from the storehouse without permission.
"Which rabbit cub wants so many hundred knots to go back to cooking! Nack, did you kid resell all the herbs privately, if you don't give me an explanation today, we'll find a place to reason! Macarol rushed forward in a few steps, jumping to vent his frustration.
Nack smiled wryly, stretched out his finger and pointed at Joan, who was hiding to the side, and said to the angry Makarorai: "Master Makarolina, I can't blame this on my head, you better ask Joan." As he spoke, he gave Qiao An an apologetic look, he didn't want to be scolded by the old man in vain.
MacarorΓ³'s scolding suddenly stopped, and then he turned to Qiao An, staring at Qiao An with vicious eyes as if he was going to eat people, and said through gritted teeth: "Qiao An, why don't I remember that the Dark Temple has you as a pharmacist, so many herbs, you won't eat them all!" β
"Well, Master Makarorai, you misunderstood, this herb is not for me, it was for Master Ferrey, and the High Priest of Sendros has instructed that everything must be put first by Master Ferry's needs, so you better wait a little longer." Joan involuntarily took two steps back, and in the face of Macarolio's cannibalistic gaze, she explained stubbornly.
"Ferry, what Master Ferry...... It seems to be a little familiar," Macarol was about to continue scolding, but after thinking about Joan's words carefully, he felt that this Ferre name seemed to have been heard.
"Master Ferrey is the leader of the Tower of Dusk and a master of potions, and the High Priest of Sendros also appreciates his potion skills. This time, it seemed that Master Ferrey was going to prepare a potion for the High Priest, so the High Priest asked me to be his assistant and explain everything to his needs. Qiao An quickly explained.
"Original...... What are you kidding, what potion does it take so many herbs, the herbs you have taken these days are enough for me to prepare a hundred Dark Shadows! Under Joan's explanation, Macaroras remembered who this Master Ferre was, but his anger did not diminish because of this. He walked in front of Nack in a few steps, snatched the list in Nack's hand, and suddenly became even more angry, and couldn't help scolding: "What kind of medicine master, what kind of medicine master is he, can these herbs be used together, the amount is still so large, what does he want to do!" β
Joan has some knowledge of potions, but she is not a real pharmacist, and the level of potions is probably a rudimentary level. As for what kind of potion Lin Li was contriving, Sendros and Lin Li didn't say anything, just based on the observation of the past few days, he couldn't see it in any way. What's more, Lin Li has only been experimenting in the past few days, verifying some technical techniques for preparing Dark Praise, and he has no intention of preparing a finished potion at all.
Therefore, hearing Macarorra's question, Qiao An also froze there all of a sudden, unable to say one, two, or three, and could only murmur: "This is ordered by Master Senderos, in short, it must be very important......
"He's abusing the trust that the High Priest of Sendros has given him! I don't believe that it takes so many herbs to make a potion, I think he put most of the herbs in his pocket, these heretics really can't be trusted! "Macaroro, with his experience as a master apothecary, immediately made what he thought was the most reasonable judgment about the truth of the matter.
"No, no, Master Ferrey is not that kind of person," Joan knew of course that Ferrey was not that kind of person, because he had seen a large amount of herbs being turned into waste, although it seemed that it was better to sneak it into his own pocket.
"Hmph, I look at this matter, you can't escape it, take me to see Na Fei Lei, and see how I can expose his tricks to his face!" As he spoke, Macarol stepped forward and grabbed Joan without saying a word.
In the quiet laboratory, Lin Li frowned slightly, sitting at a table very casually, the pen in his hand kept making the sound of brushing on the paper, and the paper full of various formulas was thrown aside. Finally, Lin Li gestured, his brows gradually relaxed, and looking at the results of the calculation on the paper, a wisp of understanding appeared on his face.
Throwing the pen on the table, Lin Li stood up suddenly, walked to the experimental table in three or two steps, and began to get busy again. A variety of precious herbs, after being processed by Lin Li using various techniques, are refined into a juice containing great power, neatly arranged on the test tube rack, shining with colorful light.
At this moment, the door of the laboratory suddenly opened, and Macarol pulled Joan in from the outside, but he saw the busy scene in front of the laboratory table. Joan explained that she struggled all the way to get rid of Macarolas so that she could report to Master Senderos, but it was not until she was dragged to the laboratory that she finally knew that there was no room for recovery, and suddenly fell silent.
In Joan's mind, with Macarora's temper, he must have started to make a big fuss as soon as he broke into the laboratory, after all, he was scolding all the way, and his mouth never stopped for a moment, and he was obviously angry to the extreme. So seeing that Macarol couldn't be stopped from breaking into the laboratory, Joan had to cover his eyes as if he was stealing a bell, as for what would happen, then let him go.
However, what Joan didn't expect was that from pushing open the door of the laboratory to enter, as time passed, Macarol did not explode as expected, but was so quiet that even his breathing seemed to be deliberately slowed down. Qiao Anxin let go of his covered eyes with apprehension, and cautiously looked at the macarol next to him, but saw that the master of the pharmacy who was shouting just now to find out the liar was slightly open at this time, looking at the figure in front of the experimental table not far away, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
In fact, it is not uncommon among pharmacists to bully employers who do not understand pharmacy, saying that they want to prepare medicines that the other party does not know, and then entrap the herbs they want in the formula, so it should be regarded as an unspoken rule. When Macarol was young, he used to do this kind of thing, and knew that many of his peers were doing it, and even if they were discovered, they would say that it was for the sake of the secrecy of the formula. But this time, Macarol really can't imagine how much a person's head is going to cramp, and he actually does it so unabashedly.
However, when he actually broke into the laboratory and saw the busy figure in front of the laboratory table, Macarore was immediately attracted. The thought of looking for trouble was put aside by him for the time being, his eyes were fixed on Lin Li's every move, and he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, this Fei Lei still has some real skills, but it's a pity that he does things a little shamelessly.
Macarol was able to become the chief pharmacist of the Dark Temple, and he naturally had considerable attainments in pharmacy, and at this time, looking at the operation in front of the laboratory table, looking at the flowing movements, and watching the superb techniques displayed like lifting weights, he was also a little reluctant to step forward to interrupt for a while.
Of course, Lin Li knew that someone was coming, and the things he did at this time would not let him fall into any realm, but he thought that there was no one in this dark temple who could find trouble for him, so he simply didn't bother to pay attention to it, and the movements in his hands did not pause for a moment.
"Live...... Stop, you don't want to die! β
Just when Lin Li was about to finish the final work and pour the juice from a test tube into the flask, Macarora, who was addicted to Lin Li's flowing movements, suddenly came to his senses, and while he drank violently, he hurriedly covered himself with a magic shield.
Macarolas is not in vain, although it is only the juice in the test tube, but with rich experience, it can still be judged from the color and nature of the juice and other aspects, the juice in the test tube is the essence of the herb. And now, he was completely sure that what the other party was adding to the flask was the juice of the fire berries. It's not that the juice of the fire berries can't be used, but he saw with his own eyes that the other party was still in the flask, adding extremely explosive herbs such as the Earth Blood Vine Black Flame Flower, and adding the fire berries at this time was simply throwing fire into the powder keg.
The technique is so skillful, the skill is so superb, how can he make such a low-level mistake in the theory of potions! Macarol gave birth to a hint of love, but it was too late to do anything at this time, once the small flask potion exploded, its power would probably be close to that of legendary magic. After reminding him, Macarol could only care about adding a magic shield to himself, and then watched as the magma-like liquid in the test tube was poured into the flask.
There was a soft sound.
The explosion that Macarol had expected did not happen, and the original colorful potion in the flask turned into a clear orange liquid in an instant with the inflow of fire juice. However, before Macarol could relax a little, he saw the young man who didn't know whether he was alive or dead making a terrifying move, and he actually picked up the flask and shook it in front of him. After shaking it, the other party came directly to his mouth, tilted his neck, drank all the potions in the flask, and stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, as if the potion was delicious.
"Orange flavor," Lin Li put down the flask, then turned around and looked at the two people at the door of the laboratory, "Joan, what about the herbs I wanted, why did you come back empty-handed." β
Joan had a bitter look on her face, and hurriedly wanted to explain.
"What herbs do you want, what herbs do you want, what do you think of the potion preparation, do you know what you did just now, you ......" Without waiting for Qiao An to explain, Makarol had already put on a magic shield and rushed to the front of Lin Li in a few steps, so he wanted to teach this junior who didn't know how to live or die a good lesson.
"Who is this?" Lin Li looked at Qiao An with some inexplicability.
"This is Master Makarorai, the chief apothecary of the Dark Temple," Qiao An introduced Lin Li as she nervously followed Makarorai's side, for fear that the old man would do something to anger Lin Li.
"Boy, do you know how dangerous what you just did was?" When Macarol heard Joan introduce himself to the other party, he couldn't help but restrain his temper, straighten his thin chest, and raised his chin slightly when he spoke.
What Macarol didn't expect was that Lin Li was indifferent to his status as the chief pharmacist, and even ignored his existence a little, and still said to Qiao An with an indifferent face: "Oh, didn't I say don't let people disturb me." Forget it, you go get the herbs. β
What the? What the! This young man is too arrogant! What do you mean not to let people disturb you, the chief pharmacist of the dignified Dark Temple, even Sendros is extremely polite to himself, and he is actually treated as an idle person here! Macarorol originally had some thoughts about loving talents, and wanted to promote this junior, but at this moment, he finally couldn't help but be angry again.
"You, who is your teacher, it's so rude, I want to see who it is, who is ......" Macarol was about to scold, but unexpectedly, the other party turned around and went back to the laboratory table, as if he had to do some potion experiment. He chased two steps forward, but at a glance he saw the paper on the table next to him, and he just glanced at it indifferently, but as soon as his eyes left, he suddenly reacted to something, immediately turned back, and rushed directly to the table.
"This, this is ......" Macarol looked at the paper full of various pharmaceutical formulas, and couldn't help but breathe a little fast, and the purpose of his coming here was directly thrown to 108,000 miles.
