Hawkers, Happy April Fool's Day~~

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

In the blink of an eye, Merlin had been with Granny Saki for almost two weeks. It's early April, and the smell of spring is getting stronger, with fresh branches and sparse vegetation beginning to grow, and the earth gradually changing into green.

On this day, Merlin asked Granny Saki to take his leave, and Granny Saki seemed to have expected it and generally approved his resignation, and by the way, gave Merlin a final exam question.

The topic is very simple, just follow Granny Saki's prescription to make a perfect juice yourself. For the manufacture of this juice, there is no time limit and no limit to the number of times...... In short, there is no limit to when it is successful, Merlin can pick up his backpack and set off again.

It's easy to say, but when Merlin picked up the prescription that was densely packed with about forty herbs, he still felt a tingle in his scalp. This handwritten prescription only lists the various flavors of herbs required for the juice and the special treatment requirements and dosages of the herbs, but does not write the name of the prescription and does not inform Merlin of the efficacy of the prescription.

At the same time, Granny Qi also specially instructed Merlin, "Don't think about asking me anything when you get the formula, you can solve all the problems by yourself, and if you don't understand it, you can figure it out by yourself." At that time, she put her hands behind her back and looked embarrassed, "I don't have an additional rule on how long and how many times you can make it for me, which is already very forgiving, so it's all up to your own means." ”

After that, Granny Saki took Momoko and Ryuta to busy her own business. Before leaving, the two apprentices glanced at Merlin with complicated expressions, and it could be seen that they were expecting both Merlin's success and Merlin's disgraced failure, in short, they had all the tangled on their faces.

After getting the exam questions, Merlin immediately took action. However, he was not in a hurry to start making the elixir, but began to analyze the medicinal properties of the herbs one by one, sort out the cooperation between the various herbs, and, more importantly, study the specific effects of the entire prescription.

The medicinal materials on the prescription are probably more than half of them that Merlin knows and is familiar with, and the rest are either unfamiliar to Merlin or some relatively rare and unpopular medicinal materials that Merlin doesn't know at all. Therefore, the first difficulty in front of Merlin was to identify and recognize those unknown medicinal materials. Merlin first began to flip through the medicine books he had in hand, and after a morning of struggle, several medicine books were almost destroyed, and finally only found the unknown medicinal materials among the seven or eight kinds of prescriptions, and there were almost a dozen remaining that were still unknown. In desperation, Merlin had no choice but to ask Granny Qi for help, hoping to borrow those thick ancient books of Granny Qi to see if she could find out the true face of the remaining unknown medicinal materials.

Although Granny Saki herself did not give Merlin any help, she still kindly agreed to Merlin's request to borrow her medicine book. After picking up a thick stack of old ancient books from Granny Saki, Merlin began to sail through the sea of books again.

This time, Merlin began another process while flipping through the book—that is, processing the medicinal herbs. Many of the medicinal materials that have been clearly identified in the prescription are specially marked with unique treatment methods, such as honey, fried, and burned, and so on. In order to save time, Merlin also called Wizel out and asked him to help with some less important tasks, such as taking care of the stove, mastering the heat, and some simple processing.

Merlin is probably the kind of person who explodes more and more intensely, in this kind of busy and almost dual-minded situation, he suddenly feels that he really has a bit of an unforgettable meaning, and the ancient books that have been carefully studied are deeply engraved in his head, and the compatibility and mixing methods of various medicinal materials are suddenly clear. Every time he found a new medicinal herb, Merlin's mind would come up with a plan for how to deal with the herbs and how to match them with each other, and at the same time, he would also amend, supplement, or reinvent the previous plan.

However, as the medicinal materials continued to be clarified, the prescriptions became even more confusing. The fewer unknown herbs remained, the more Merlin couldn't figure out what this recipe was for.

When the information on the last herb also emerged from the old paper, the prescription was finally complete, but the medicinal effect made Merlin completely ignorant. Based on his accumulated knowledge and experience, this prescription turned out to be ineffective, and the herbs were mixed with each other to cancel each other's effective ingredients, and finally turned into a drink without any special effect. And if there is a deviation in the treatment process, it seems that the drug can become poison.

"Well, it probably tastes good." Merlin looked at the prescription with a twitching face, "Am I mistaken?" ”

Caught in self-doubt, Merlin is determined to overturn all of his previous conclusions and re-enact the manufacturing process of the prescription from scratch. But once again, the result is still to cancel each other out and have no effect, and one bad will become poison.

"One more time!" Merlin was a little angry, and the results of two consecutive prescriptions were ultimately ineffective, which made Merlin very annoyed, "I don't believe it, can this potion be a poison?!" ”

But the result of the third time was the same.

This time, Merlin figured it out, "This prescription is indeed ineffective, but ineffectiveness is its effect." He stood up and began to prepare the potion, "As long as it is handled correctly, the medicinal properties and toxicity of all the herbs will cancel each other out, so that it will be made into a drink that is completely free of any toxic side effects." "Through the deduction of the three times, Merlin, who had already memorized the prescription and the steps to make it, put the handwritten prescription of Granny Saki away, "Granny Qi's test is really going around in circles." ”

Finally understood the prescription, and Merlin began to really make the elixir. I won't say much about how he processed each herb, but when all the herbs were processed, Merlin finally began the final steps.

Merlin mixed all kinds of pre-processed powders, herbs, and potions into a small high-strength glassware, and stuffed it with a cork, in which two metal conductors were inserted into the liquid medicine. After making preparations, he specially called Bali Yang, who cooperated with him more tacitly. In this way, Merlin began his first attempt at pharmaceuticals.

Under Merlin's command, a shiny electrical energy was released from the body of the baa sheep, and these tamed electricity accurately hit the metal conductor on the cork and penetrated the guò conductor into the liquid medicine, immersed in the slightly cloudy light brown liquid between the two conductors pulsating between the high-intensity electricity, they kept dissociating the active ingredients of various medicinal materials and gradually boiling and becoming clear.

Whenever a huge bubble churns through the glass bottle, Merlin looks nervous. At that time, he either instructed the Bali sheep to increase the force to make the churning more intense to better release the medicinal effect, or let the Baa Li sheep converge the power to make the boiling smaller so as not to damage the medicinal properties. But in just a few minutes, Baly Sheep and Merlin were already sweating profusely.

"Increase!" Looking at the slowly tumbling liquid in the bottle, Merlin nervously commanded Baa Liyang, "Slow down, gradually increase." ”

Baa Sheep immediately began to increase the output of electricity according to Merlin's instructions.

The flask began to tumble even harder, but at the same time some flocculent deposits appeared.

"Stop." Merlin immediately sighed fiercely when he saw it, "Stop, baa sheep, this time it failed." "The appearance of flocculent substances indicates that the ingredients in the potion have developed a bad combination, and it also means that the bottle of potion is a waste product.

Baa Yang stopped pumping out the electricity, and stared at Merlin with wide eyes, as if he was feeling a little regretful.

"It's okay, you just need to take a break." After Merlin calmed the sheep a few words, he began to prepare new herbs for the next medicine.

But the next system was a failure and a failure, the fourth and the tenth...... From time to time, flocculent matter appears, that is, the liquid medicine becomes turbid, either the heating is too large and the medicine bottle is blown up, or the strength is insufficient and the opportunity is missed, in short, it is a failure, and it fails again. There is a saying that "failure is the mother of success", but now it seems that the generation of failure is much greater than success, and it is already a high ancestor more than ten generations ago.

However, the failures again and again also made Merlin have a deeper understanding and more skillful grasp of Dissociation Pharmaceutical, and the failure is gradually delayed, and Merlin is getting closer to success every time.

On this day, Merlin came for sure success.

"Let's start with the baa sheep." After these days of intimacy and cooperation, Granny Saki's Baly Sheep and Merlin have also become very familiar and have a tacit understanding, and as soon as they heard Merlin's command, Baly Sheep immediately began to output electrical energy.

“…… Increase...... Wane...... Rapid weakening...... Steep ...... Climb the ...... step by step" Along with Merlin's calm instructions, Baly Sheep skillfully released electrical energy, and the potion in the bottle was also just the right amount of change, "Slow down, slow down......" is about to intercept Merlin's key steps in the last few times, Merlin also became nervous, "Baa Li Sheep, do you remember the steps I taught you before?" He looked at the baary sheep beside him.

Baa Yang nodded, and the electricity emitted from his body suddenly strengthened and then dissipated instantly, then suddenly strengthened again and then slowly became smaller, and then gradually increased until it reached its peak.

During this time, the potion has maintained a good response.

Along with the electrical output of Baly Sheep, Merlin's heartbeat gradually accelerated, "Finally the last step, Baly Sheep, smooth output, listen to my orders and be ready to withdraw the electricity at any time." Merlin was sweating as he spoke, his eyes fixed on the potion's reaction.

At this moment, the potion began to rise from the bottom to the top with a large number of tiny bubbles like pearls, and the whole bottle of the potion began to emit a psychedelic brilliant luster.

"It's now." Merlin suddenly let out a loud shout.

Baa Sheep immediately converged all of its electrical energy.

The churning in the bottle began to slowly stop, and the bubbles gradually disappeared, but the brilliant luster was permanently condensed.

"Huh~~~" Merlin, who saw this scene, breathed a deep sigh of relief, and his nerves and body, which had been tense for many days, suddenly relaxed, and he knew that he had succeeded this time.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The creation of the potion also marked the end of Merlin's short apprenticeship in apothecaries.

Merlin didn't rush to take the made potion to Granny Saki for judgment, he even made persistent efforts to make several copies of the same potion with Baa Liyang. When they tasted the indescribable and wonderful taste of this potion, Merlin and Baly the Sheep were very happy.

After sending the sheep back to rest, Merlin returned to his hut and began to pack his belongings, and after handing in the potion, he said goodbye to Granny Saki.

[Hey, don't forget there's one more thing.] Wizil suddenly opened his mouth at this point. In order to keep Merlin highly focused on making the potion, Vizil remained silent all this time.

"Anything else?" Merlin asked deliberately, but his eyes drifted to the catty dog who was resting on his pillow, and the little guy could barely see any signs of near-death wounds, and even the shaved hair on his body had grown back at this moment.

What do you say? Wizil also imitated Merlin's pretense of confusion.

"Okay, I'll fix it." Merlin smiled and continued to pack.

After everything was neatly organized, everything that should be taken away was put into the backpack, everything that should be left was carefully stacked neatly, and everything that should be returned was carefully put aside, Merlin sat down on the side of the slightly simple single bed, and reached out to stroke the body of the catty dog, the soft fur was very delicate to the touch. But from under the hair, Merlin can still feel the scars on the grave and the stitched needle holes, and these marks will probably last a lifetime.

Merlin's touch was very useful to the Cutty Dog, who had accepted his closeness to the human side of the Cutty Dog, and began to wriggle its ass and make a comfortable "whining" sound.

Merlin suddenly became playful and began to look for the sensitive areas of the catty dog to itch it.

After a while, the catty dog's slight writhing turned into a large writhing and dodging, his limbs kicking back and forth, his tail flicking back and forth with the shaking of his body, and a flattering bark came out of his mouth.

After playing like this for a while, the cutty dog lay on Merlin's lap and barked softly, his ears twitching back and forth, and his tail flicking slightly.

Merlin, who was attracted by his passive ears, began to gently scratch the inner contour of the catty dog with his fingers, causing the catty dog to start writhing again.

"Legion, would you like to travel with me?" Merlin asked softly while teasing the catty dog.

Cutty looked up and looked at Merlin with a pair of big watery eyes.

"Would you rather travel with me, or do you want to stay here, or return to the place where you live?" Merlin continued to ask softly, "Well, although we have been together for more than half a month, I still respect your own choice. ”

Cutty continued to look at Merlin.

......Suddenly, Wizir sighed heavily, "How many times will I tell you before you remember?" It said a little depressedly, "Not all Warcraft can fully understand your human language, especially wild Warcraft, you have to be straightforward if you want to communicate with them in guò language. 】

[Take it away directly~] Lingzi also got involved in making trouble, [It's so small and so cute and always loves to revolve around me, so take it with you.] 】

[Hmph, anyway, this kind of weak guy can't do without you for a long time, so why do you bother to ask and ask too much. Heipu also interjected, [Your actions like this are more like hypocrisy, just for your own peace of mind. 】

Merlin smiled wryly when he heard Hapu's words. Lingzi and Heipu began to quarrel.

"Okay, that's it." Ignoring their bickering, Merlin bent down and put the catty on the ground, and he immediately crouched down and wagged his tail slightly and looked up at Merlin.

Merlin stood up, took out a high-grade ball from his bosom that had been tattooed and decorated and colored, and enlarged it and went straight to the tip of the catty dog's nose. Cutty Dog, on the other hand, immediately stepped forward and clicked the high-level ball with his nose, allowing the red light to retract it.

"Please advise me in the future." Seeing that the catty dog was somewhat happy to be subdued by the senior ball, Merlin was completely relaxed.

Let's start with the answer to the previous question: Actually, the concept of tree fruit was first introduced in the second generation of games, that is, gold and silver crystals, and it was the first time in the second generation that a tree fruit that could restore fùhp appeared. After that, it was in the third generation (red, blue, green, and fiery leaf green) ~~

Then the question of this issue: The evolved wind dog of the catty dog mentioned a real-world country in the introduction of the illustrated book, which country is it?
