Forty-seven, the house of alchemy

Minna glanced at her grandfather anxiously, but the latter couldn't understand it, so she just smiled and touched her granddaughter's head: "Obedient and obedient, at most grandpa promises you, when you are ready, grandpa will buy you whatever you want, how about it?" ”

That's not what she meant! Minna was a little discouraged. At this time, the goatee suddenly interjected: "The way you are now is because you have drunk the potion, the changes in your mood and the movements of your body will have a negative effect on the magic in your body at any time, and the safest way is to not move at all, so you should be obedient." Drinking water will weaken the effect of the drug, so it is best not to drink it, and you should not eat candy. ”

Minna then understood, and couldn't help but become frustrated. Xiao Tianjian promised her that he would buy a lot of favorite foods and candies for her, but he couldn't make her forget the taste in her mouth.

The goatee interrupted Xiao Tianjian's words: "You seem to have said just now, two of those bottles of potion were matched by this kid?" And said she had learned how to make several other potions? ”

Xiao Tianjian nodded suspiciously: "Yes, but this kid is also a beginner, so the things he made are not very good." ”

Goatee squinted: "Since she has studied potions, why did she eat round seed grass and dried plums after drinking the retargent?" Also, lemon will weaken the effect of the brown bark pine juice in the antidote, doesn't she know? ”

Minna winked, what is Round Seed Grass? Lemons would diminish the effects of brown bark pine juice, and she really didn't know it.

"What is Round Seed Grass?" Xiao Tianjian asked, "We didn't eat indiscriminately all the way?" As for lemons, I've never heard of them. ”

"Round seed grass is a kind of vanilla, Shaonan people love to use it with grilled fish, it will increase the effect of the licorice concentrate in the retargent, and the licorice ingredients contained in the prune, if it exceeds the range that ordinary people can bear, it will make people's limbs weak and vision blocked, and lemon is taboo with brown bark pine. This is common knowledge that all Potions beginners should know! Goatee glanced at Minna, "Since you said this kid studied, why didn't she know?" Who is her teacher? ”

Minna opened her mouth to answer, but realized that she couldn't make a sound, so she had to signal her grandfather to do it for her, but who knew that he suddenly squeaked and talked about him left and right.

The goatee squinted at Xiao Tianjian for a while before he said, "It's Sennet, right?" Those few strange potions, no one else could make them except him. ”

Xiao Tianjian coughed lightly, a little embarrassed: "I asked Lao Sen to teach the child to make a few potions, thinking about when it will come in handy, but nothing else...... Lao Suo, don't be surprised. ”

"Don't call me Lao Suo!" The goatee suddenly started a fire for some reason, and even his beard was so angry that he cocked up, "I'm different from that guy!" Don't compare me to him! He's just going to do that mess and it's not useful at all! Potions, the most sophisticated discipline in the world, is art! There's no room for error! With just one mistake, something made is completely different! I don't care what his reason is for teaching potions to such a young child, but at least, at least the basics! He yelled and slammed the table so loudly that the whole room could hear it.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar from the ground, and the whole house shook, and a chandelier horn fell down and fell into pieces.

Xiao Tianjian and Goatee looked at each other, Minna's eyes widened, and she wondered who this old man was? One slap on the table knocked the lights down, which was amazing.

At this time, the door was slammed open, and a blackened man rushed in: "It's noisy, who is shouting here?!" ”

Minna blinked, looked at the man, and found that it was the alchemist Han Lin he had seen last night, but now he was very angry, his face was almost crooked, and his two eyes stared directly at the other two adult men in the room: "Xiao Tianjian!" Sauron! What are you arguing about at my house?! My experiment failed again! ”

"It turned out to be an explosion over there, I thought Lao Suo was really that powerful." Xiao Tianjian muttered a sentence before he leaned in front of the other party and whispered, "Han Lin, you persuade this guy, he is scolding Lao Sen again." ”

Sauron the goatee protested, "What nonsense are you talking about?!" I didn't scold him, I just couldn't get used to his rash attitude! ”

Han Lin rolled his eyes: "Soren, I said, why do you always have trouble with Sennet?" Whether you are used to it or not, it is a fact that he is more famous and popular than you. He creates a dozen new potions every year, and you're far worse than him in this regard. ”

"That's all rubbish!" Sauron blew his beard and glared angrily, "I don't see any practical use for that kind of thing!" He is known as a master, but he only knows how to grandstand, and he is actually called the chief potions master of the whole continent?! What am I inferior to him?! ”

"In fact, you are inferior to him." Han Lin was unceremonious, "Okay, old friend, I know he is not rigorous enough, but he can make new things, and it is not without practical value." For example, the color-changing potion he made last year, I heard that some potions are already considering making pet fur color-changing potions, and it should sell well. This kind of invention will be popular, and if you really want to overshadow him, come up with new potions, and don't improve those old recipes. ”

Sauron glared at him, "I can't believe this is what you would say, and you, who have also studied potions, don't you know what a sophisticated subject it is?" It must be treated with the strictest and most prudent attitude! Whether it's a new medicine or an old one, it should be tried and tested again and again to ensure that the potion made is perfect and can bring out the best results, which is the true meaning of potions! Like Sennett's...... Something that is cooked casually,...... It's also worthy of being called a potion?! ”

Han Lin said: "But people like such things, Lao Suo, it's not me talking about you, some things don't take too seriously." The evolution of cold potions from an hour and a half to an hour, and the ability of a hemostat to heal wounds in a minute and thirty seconds to a minute to heal wounds in a minute, is indeed a remarkable improvement for those who know about potions, but the layman will not be interested at all, they just want to see something fresh and never seen before. Or you can come up with a particularly effective medicine, such as your student, and don't you have a new special cold potion? He also received the king's praise. Even he can do it, let alone you? ”

"Don't mention him!" Sauron was furious again, "It was that Sonnet guy who broke my student and made that kid get that kind of thing!" It's a special cold potion, and it tastes good, but it has strong side effects! People will suddenly fall asleep after drinking it, and after taking it once, other cold medicines will be ineffective. My student took it to someone to drink without verifying it, but one of the drivers of the magic car drank it and suddenly fell asleep while working, causing the worst traffic accident in the history of the Magic City, and four people were injured! This is the consequence of a lax research attitude! In fact, he only needed to add a potion to the potion to avoid it! ”

Han Lin sighed: "Forget it, I'm not a potions master, what's the use of arguing with you?" I'll have time to think of new potions, I'll go back to experimenting. After that, he turned around and left, muttering, "Obviously it's just jealous......"

Although his voice was small, Sauron had already heard it, so he refuted "I'm not jealous", and found that the object of the quarrel had already disappeared at the door leading to the basement, and looked back at Xiao Tianjian's ancestors and grandsons who caused this dispute, all of them were watching the play with their eyes wide open, and they suddenly became angry, and rushed out of the room with great strides, and slammed the door hard.

Minna sighed, glanced at her grandfather, motioned for him to come forward, and reluctantly asked, "Who is he?" "He seems to be a very powerful person, but he scolded Grandpa Sennet like that, it was too much.

"His name is Sauron, and he is a potions professor at the Shaonan No. 1 Magic Academy on the top of the mountain, and he is an old friend of your Uncle Hanlin. He always hated Lao Sen, and he didn't have much contact with us, and to be honest, I didn't plan to look for him. But although he is not as good as your grandfather Sennett, he is also a capable ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the door slammed open again, and he stepped into the angry Sauron. Xiao Tianjian suddenly stopped, and began to worry about whether he heard his words.

Sauron stared at Xiao Tianjian with his eyes, then reached out and placed four small conical crystal bottles on the cabinet next to Minna's bed, the potions in them were two dark gray-green, one gray-blue, and one dark red, and then said to Minna: "The bottle of medicine just now was drunk at 8:30, based on that time, drink a bottle every three hours, from right to left, don't be mistaken." I will come back to treat you after I finish my course. He suddenly leaned in front of Minna's face and said viciously: "You are not allowed to eat anything, nor are you allowed to drink tea or milk, you can drink water, but not more than two teacups!" Since you've studied potions, you'd better remember me! ”

Minna blinked stiffly to show that he understood, and then he flicked his robe and left. Xiao Tianjian looked at his distant figure and looked at his granddaughter angrily: "It's really an annoying stinky temper, isn't it?" ”

Minna blinked, nodding inwardly.

That Sauron was a nuisance, but his potions worked. At the end of the day, Minna felt that most of her strength had regained and she could do simple movements such as nodding her head, and by the next day, she was able to speak a few words and the tingling pain in her leg was gone. By the third day, she could even get out of bed and walk around.

She had been living in a large room in the alchemist Hanlin's house for the past few days, with four beds each with a bedside table, a chair, a magic lamp, and a small bookshelf, which was in fact where Hanlin and his magician wife, Patty, usually entertained their apprentices. The room was simply furnished, Minna was bored in less than half a day, and after a while, she finally got her grandfather's permission to go outside the room.

From the outside, this house is just a small three-story building, and the area of each floor may be smaller than Minna's house in Qidun, but in fact, the space inside the house is very large, with more than thirty rooms, and two basement floors, the lowest of which is Hanlin's laboratory. Minna wanted to see it, but the hosts refused, but she wasn't discouraged, for the rest of the house was enough for her to explore.

It's full of alchemical products, and since knowing that Hanlin is the inventor of the mosquito repellent box, Minna has developed a keen interest in his other works.

Forget about the magic lamp or something, the comb that will automatically comb people's hair and the mirror that acts as a costume consultant are not a big deal, she found something called "sweeping turtle", which looks very much like a big black turtle, the size of a basin, with a thick layer of cotton cushion-like object at the bottom, and a magic circle engraved on the back, but there is a place that is separated, as long as the switch is flipped and connected to the magic array, the sweeping turtle will move at a speed that is not slow, wiping the place it passes through cleanly, and there is no dust at all. It is said that this is also the work of Hanlin, and it has been made and sold in shops, and it is very popular in the magic capital.

There is also a large cupboard where any food can be put in, no matter how long it is sitting, it will not spoil, and even when it is hot, it will still be hot when it is taken out. Minna felt that this was a bit similar to her grandfather's storage ring, and after asking, she found out that this cabinet was indeed made of space magic combined with alchemy, and the principle was the same as that of the storage ring, and Han Lin was actually the alchemist who could make storage rings.

Minna immediately cast her eager gaze on the amazing alchemist, but the other party was unaware, just fiddling with a magic stove, intending to boil water to make tea. Minna glanced at the stove and thought it was similar to her grandfather's, except that it was made of hedron instead of charcoal. She said with some regret: "If only we had a stove like this, when we spend the winter in a tree house and climb a snowy mountain, we would not have to eat cold food because there is no charcoal." ”

Han Lin said: "It's not much stronger to use spar, it's much more expensive than using charcoal, the only thing about my stove that is stronger than your grandfather's one is that it won't burn the kettle." I'm so busy with experiments that I often forget that I'm boiling water. He took out a kettle from the cabinet, and Minna found that there was no pot for cooking in the cabinet, and was a little puzzled: "Uncle Hanlin, you have so few pots here, don't you have to cook?" ”

"My wife and I don't know how to cook, so we usually have someone make it ready and send it in. Our pot has no other use than boiling water. ”

"It's a pity that my grandfather can cook delicious meals on his stove." Minna could only eat simple food approved by Potions Master Sauron for the past few days, and when she thought of the barbecue and soup made by her grandfather, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva: "If the stove can do whatever you want, that's fine, then I can eat delicious things even if I can't cook." ”

Han Lin suddenly stopped, looked at Minna with wide eyes, suddenly stood up and took away the pot of unboiled water, picked up the stove and ran to the basement.

Minna was feeling inexplicable, the front door opened, and Sauron walked in, frowning at the sight of her, and didn't say anything, just took out a bottle of potion and handed it to her: "Drink." ”

Minna has been accustomed to that terrible taste and touch these days, and drank it with a bitter face, so she hurriedly coughed up the unboiled water, and suddenly heard the sound of "click", and when she returned to the hall to see, she was stunned.

(Will progress ...... A bit slow? )
