Chapter 263: Potion of Madness
Phew!Phew...
For the time being, put aside the freak of lizards on the shore that were so manic that they didn't seem to have diminished much.
On the "Cape Storm" that stopped in the middle of the lagoon and anchored.
The mysterious transcendent world was already involved, and ordinary crew members could not help in the slightest, so Evan only called Milan and Gary to discuss countermeasures.
"We've probably broken into the lair of these big lizards, and we've killed so many of their kind, so it's impossible to hope that everything will be safe. ”
Although the "Storm Horn" has temporarily gained a period of respite, but there is a greater crisis hidden behind it, and Evan whispered to analyze the current situation for the two people:
"During the day, they are just as vulnerable to the 'Song of the Siren' as normal lizards in the physical world, but at night, they are almost immune to attacks on the physical side.
At that time, they can sneak directly out of the sea, jump onto the boat, and instantly drown everything on the boat.
So, if we want Storm Horn to hold out until tomorrow when the sun rises again, we must kill them before nightfall!"
With that, he looked encouragingly at the other two transcendents on the ship, hoping that they would give him some advice.
"Boss, just tell me where to charge, and I'll listen to you!"
The sound of Gary's urn surging can be heard from under the fully covered helmet, and Gary has gradually transformed into a true berserker after completing extraordinary advancements and equipment upgrades.
"Don't ask how many enemies there are, just where they are!"
Well, the Berserker's credo is as simple as that.
has already understood that asking Gary is also asking in vain, he has never been a handsome talent, and he is a first-class good player. But the key now is that even if you mow the grass, you can't cut a piece of prairie....
Turning his gaze to Milan again.
"Aven, you know me!"
Milan nodded heavily, giving Evan a determined look.
The tacit understanding that has been all the time has made Evan read the meaning in his eyes very clearly: Teacher, I can't do this question!
Alas-
With his hand on his forehead, Evan felt that his ship really needed a think-tank character, and he didn't need to be very decisive, but it would be good to be able to give himself ideas at a critical moment and expand his thinking.
Trample.. Trample.. Trample..
Pacing in place, Evan took stock of the power he could use.
The ship's conventional strength consisted of eighteen 24-pounder guns, twenty 12-pounder guns, and 10 nine-pounder guns on the two-tier gun deck and main deck, as well as two 6-pounder guns on the stern tower. The crew has a total of 284 people.
The "Cape Storm" did not fire a single shot on this cruise, and the ammunition depot is still fully loaded, allowing each gun to fire the standard 86 shells (counting only solid shells), and there is still a surplus of gunpowder.
In addition to the conventional forces, there were five boxes of "alchemy bombs" that only battleships could equip with a total of twenty on board, and two boxes of eight in their own "magic pockets".
If you use these things, you will have no problem at all against human infantry.
Humans will fear and flee, even if it is the elite army of the kingdom, the loss of more than 30% of the personnel is not far from collapse.
But if you want to deal with a swarm of lizards like a tide, that kind of killing efficiency... Too low!
Even with the addition of the three transcendents and the entire crew.
The remaining [Shipbow Statue - Monsoon Goddess] and [Ocean Treasure - Mist Silver Lantern] including [God's Gift - Golden Compass] are not of any use now, and all the treasures are based on the premise that the "Storm Horn" has the most basic mobility.
As for the thing at the bottom of the box in the magic pocket. Aven will never use it until he is in a desperate situation, the side effects are too great!
So in the end, I have to find a way from my old profession "wizard".
"Since there are so many enemies, the single force has only just touched the extraordinary. Then there is the possibility of turning some of the enemies into one's own people, and maybe that potion will have an unexpected effect..."
Finally having an idea in his heart, Evan commanded:
"Milan, you're in charge of controlling the 'Song of the Siren', I'll figure it out!"
Turning around, he rushed to his laboratory on the ship, although he was not 100% sure, but it was already the most feasible way that Evan could think of.
Out of trust in Aven, Milan didn't ask much, and solemnly promised:
"Don't worry, leave it to me, there will be no problems before nightfall!"
Bang –
The door of Aiwen's laboratory was slammed shut, and two "hanging wind chimes" on the test bench that looked like a row of small lanterns were instantly lit, emitting bright and soft "lights".
Now Ai Wen's main attack on the front of the "Psychic Potion" series has been completed, but there are still two mountains that have not been crossed in front of him.
In the early stage, dozens of different agents were used to gain an in-depth understanding of the human and biological bodies.
For muscles, bones, blood, internal organs, nerves, brain, and other organs, as well as the locomotor system, circulatory system, respiratory system, digestive system, endocrine system... and other major systems.
Different parts and functional areas of the human body are affected and even controlled by corresponding potions.
When it comes to finally getting to the "Psychic Potion", there are two special potions that need to be completed and used to touch the human's... Emotions and souls!
That is the "potion of madness" that represents all the instincts of the "id" and the "potion of the sage" that represents the idealized supreme morality of the "superego".
After moving these two mountains, Aven was able to concoct a "psychic potion" that represented the complete free will of the "self"!
The other two are put aside for the time being, and the way that Evan thought of at this time to break the game is to prepare the "Crazy Potion" as quickly as possible!
This potion sounds similar to the Prisoner Banishment's extraordinary ability to liberate the Wild, but it is actually a hundred times more powerful.
Human instinctual desires mainly include: desire for survival, appetite, lust, sleep, greed (possessiveness), expressive desire, and indulgence.....
One can imagine the horrific scene that in a moment excites all the instinctual desires at the lowest level of the human flesh.
And when these instinctive extreme desires are infinitely amplified by potions, even the "zombies" that are called "zombies" born of appetite are just scum compared to them!
Standing in front of the test bench, Ai Wen was a qualified researcher, his mood returned to calm, and the crisis in the outside world was temporarily put aside by him.
The high-end potion preparation is different from the foolish operation of the "Black Sea Potion". To eliminate any surprises, Aven repeatedly washed the crucible with distilled water and then quickly dried it with heated air.
Evan took a deep breath, and the preparation officially began.
Standard dosage for one serving in the formula:
"1 liter of clarified volcanic spring water, 10 grams of mensels powder of the rampaging gopher, 3 grams of raffle roots, 5 stone lotus seeds of all sizes, 7 pieces of cicada wings on the right side of the autumn cicada..."
Heated with an alcohol lamp, Ai Wen will have collected all kinds of potion materials long ago and add them to the crucible in strict accordance with the requirements of the formula.
After slowly boiling for ten minutes, Evan began to add the body tissue of the second transcendent creature, the red-eyed gecko's broken tail.
A gray gecko tail was pulled out of a small glass bottle with tweezers, and it was no longer known how long it had been separated from its mother, but this tail was still writhing and trying to escape.
Ai Wen's face did not change and threw it into the orange-yellow tumbling liquid.
Gollum grunt....
Countless fine bubbles surged up in an instant, and the boiling liquid quickly turned blood red.
However, the violent reaction did not mean to stop at all!
Aware of something, Evan instantly pulled back.
The next moment.
A red pillar of smoke like a tentacle popped out of the middle of the liquid medicine in an instant, and it continued to wind in the air as if trying to grasp something.
Half a minute later, the plume of smoke suddenly burst open, turning into a red smoke ring and rising up.
Looking at the liquid medicine in the crucible again, it has completely turned back into clear water.
"Failure!"
"In this case...?Although the cicada wings just now have completely dissipated, the spiritual combination in them is not perfect enough, and next time I will calm down a little. ”
The biggest difference between the preparation of transcendent potions and the dispensing of mortal pharmacists is that even if the dispensing is completely according to the formula, the dosage and time are not the same, and there is no guarantee that the desired finished product will be prepared.
It requires the "spirituality" of the wizard himself to be involved, to grasp the changes in the medicinal properties between the various materials, and to grasp the balance at all times.
Use your soul to record that moment that can only be understood and cannot be spoken, this is the secret of potion preparation!
It is also the root cause of all kinds of mysterious creations, including alchemical tools, that can never be mass-produced by machines!
