Chapter 273: The Recipe for the Ancient Secret Medicine
Hanlot's words made Jiang Feng fall into deep thought.
Being invited to join a small group called the Hearthfire Brotherhood was an unexpected thing for him.
He didn't come to the Emerald Tower to join any small circle, but to gather information about the Wizarding Continent from here, as well as those valuable idealistic side knowledge.
However, from another point of view, the people sitting here are all seniors who have been in the Emerald Tower for a long time, and if they join this small group, with their resources, they must be much more efficient in gathering intelligence and knowledge than working alone.
Moreover, this verbal promise, it seems, does not seem to have anything to lose for him.
"Can I ask a realistic question?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Of course." Hanlot smiled.
"What are my obligations as a member of the Brotherhood of Fire? What are the rights? Jiang Feng asked.
"Rights and duties? You don't need to think about such troublesome things," Hanlott chuckled, "Reaching out to your companions within the rules is what our Brotherhood of Hearthfire is all about. We don't have very strict rules about obligations and rights. ”
"In other words, there are no binding rules?"
"Of course there's no such thing as a nuisance...... Normally, we just take what we need. Tarita smiled on the side, "If the atmosphere here makes you feel uncomfortable, you can quit at any time." ”
"And what is your answer?" Hanlot asked.
After being silent for a long time, in Hanlot's expectant eyes, Jiang Feng suddenly smiled, picked up the goblet and said.
"I have no reason to refuse."
Overjoyed, Hanlot stood up and raised his glass full of red wine.
"Let's toast to if the new member of the Brotherhood!"
"Cheers!"
As Hanlot points out, the organization was surprisingly lax, not even a binding contract, and most of the rules were verbal agreements.
However, it is precisely because of the lack of those rules and regulations that this small group can recruit some unexpectedly powerful talents. After all, in the final analysis, the group of wizards is still dominated by people with withdrawn personalities.
"From today onwards, you will be a member of the Brotherhood of Fire," patting Jiang Feng on the shoulder, Hanlot smiled and continued to introduce.
“…… If you have a crush on any chick, you can find this Mr. Tarita, he is very good at some aspects of intelligence, because he configures potions that can promote body odor and improve appearance, which are quite popular among female wizards, and even many female tutors with five-star strength have entrusted him with helping to configure this kind of potion. ”
"I want you to change your style," Tarita said with a dry cough.
Ignoring Tarita's protests, Hanlot continued.
"If you need some kind of material that you can't get through normal means, you can entrust Miss Haylis from the Combat Section or this Mr. Sandru, they are quite reliable people, I can vouch for that."
The man who looked taciturn nodded to Jiang Feng.
Speaking of which, from the beginning of the banquet to the present, Jiang Feng has not heard a word from him.
Helis stroked the long sea-blue hair around her ears and threw a lazy look at Jiang Feng. It seemed that he sensed that his strength was only one star, and Jiang Feng could feel that this witch was not interested in herself.
"Of course, if you need some kind of potion...... I suggest you configure it yourself, except for the materials that need to be requested, the equipment in the laboratory is free to use," said Hanlot, looking at the other wizards and smiling, "Our new friend is an excellent potions master, and even my mentor, Mr. Roland Doyle, is full of praise for his talent. ”
"Oh?" Helis glanced at Jiang Feng unexpectedly, pursed her lips and smiled, "It seems that we will often deal with each other in the future." ”
Jiang Feng responded with a faint smile and did not answer.
"Anyway, if you make something interesting about it, you can sell it here to whoever needs it. We're meeting in an activity room with a fireplace on the 10th floor of the Wizard's Tower, and I'll take you there tomorrow after you report to the Mentor. Hanlot said with a smile.
"After talking for so long, my dragon steak is about to get cold, can we eat first?" A fat man who was silent suddenly spoke.
"Haha, that's what I said, let's start eating."
The dinner lasted until ten o'clock in the evening.
After returning to the dormitory, Jiang Feng took a bath with the hot water that the servant had prepared.
Although the lack of a shower head made him very unaccustomed, he couldn't ask too much for this world where the materialist civilization was only medieval. Most people who seek material comforts choose to buy a property in the small town outside the wizard's tower, and have a few beautiful maids to help them wash themselves.
Although Jiang Feng also prefers to live outside, but his villa is on the outskirts of Emerald Town, and it will take half an hour to travel back and forth from here to the suburbs at the earliest.
Thinking like this, Jiang Feng lay on the bed, meditated for a while, and then fell asleep.
……
The next day, Jiang Feng went to the pharmacy department to report under the guidance of the waiter.
Although from his usual words and deeds, it seems that this mentor named Roland Doyle has always been slowly swallowing, but when it came to work, Jiang Feng immediately saw his vigorous and resolute side.
After completing the check-in procedures with the front foot, Jiang Feng was immediately pulled into the laboratory by him with the back foot and devoted himself to the work of the pharmacy department.
Sitting at the experimental table, Roland Doyle's index finger tapped lightly on the table, and after thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and said to Jiang Feng.
“…… As I've told you before, our group is mainly responsible for Potions development, and while it's not as heavy as Bloom's, it does require a lot of time. For example, the project we are currently working on is the Water of Vanulli, which is a task ordered by the dean himself, which can assist wizards above six stars to elementalize and increase the success rate. ”
"Strictly speaking, the Waters of Vanulli project is not R&D, but akin to archaeological work. The secret methods of the ancient wizards have been recorded about the preparation of the water of Vanuli, but unfortunately, the recipe brought back from the ruins by the exploration team of the Wizard Tower has been severely damaged, and we have only collected some of the necessary materials for the preparation of potions from the recipe. ”
"So, our task is to restore the recipe?" Jiang Feng asked.
"That's right," Roland Doyle nodded, glanced at Jiang Feng approvingly, and continued after a pause, "A potion recipe like the Water of Vanuli involves more than a hundred kinds of medicinal materials, and if you want to completely restore it, you must go through repeated experiments and analyze it according to the results of the experiments. Although I want to give you some time to get acquainted with the status of a researcher, I unfortunately don't have that much time at my disposal for the time being, so I can only let you understand the tricks of the work in practice. ”
"It's fine, whether it's witchcraft or potions, it's an experiment-based technique in itself, and that's how good it is." Jiang Feng happily agreed.
Roland Doyle was slightly stunned, then said with a smile.
"I'm glad you think so, I hope it's not polite."
After a pause, Roland Doyle changed into a serious look and continued.
“…… When the Dragonbeard's gills and Half-Moon grass are mixed, they produce a paralyzing toxin and destroy the positive effect between the two. The recipe in the ancient elixir of Vanuli Water is exactly the gills of the dragon's beard fish and the half-moon grass...... How to deal with the conflict between these two materials is your first task. Whether you succeed or not, I hope to see a paper within a month, at least report to me, your solution. ”
Jiang Feng nodded slowly and spoke.
"No problem, but I need some materials, and I don't have them yet."
Roland Doyle waved his hand absently: "Make a list of the materials you need, your budget is five thousand magic stones, as long as it is within this range, I will sign it for you, you can take it and apply for it in the medicinal herb library." Or go directly to the mission lobby to issue a commission, and let those combat department researchers help you solve it. ”
Hearing this, the corners of Jiang Feng's mouth hooked up a faint smile.
"I'll go."
