Chapter 58: Human Affection
"This is moonshine grass and golden silkworm dust...... Are these two the heart cores and eyeballs of some kind of magical creature? Adeline looked at the things Qin Lun handed over, and quickly recognized two of them, as for the Gargoyle Core and the Demon Eye, she only recognized the approximate type.
The law of the shattered starry sky does not allow the apostles to reveal the content of the otherworldly mission to the native intelligent race, and they will be monitored at any time through the guò apostle soul seal. This kind of monitoring does not only act on the apostles themselves, but also on the locking of a certain range of space through the guò soul seal. The higher the level of the apostle, the greater the scope of this monitoring.
As a result, the Apostle was unable to reveal the contents of the Atlas quest through words, words, and hints. The intelligent race is also unable to obtain the secrets of the other world through guò external surveillance and surveillance, basically cutting off the way for the indigenous races of the Broken Star Sky to understand the other world.
However, compared to the content of the Otherworldly Quest, the Shattered Starry Sky is not so strict in terms of the Apostle's equipment items, bloodline skills, and treasure crystals. Although the apostles are still unable to explain these things, the intelligent races in the stars can still learn about the uses and properties of these things through certain ways.
This is mainly because the Shattered Star itself has a variety of very different civilizations, and many of the equipment items and bloodline skills obtained by the Apostles from the Otherworld can be found in similar versions in the Broken Starry Sky.
The equipment items used by the apostles are also very precious treasures for the intelligent races in the starry sky. However, in addition to the spiritual equipment produced by the Shattered Star Sky itself, most of the high-quality treasures obtained by the Apostles from the Otherworld were restricted by laws, and other intelligent beings could not use them except for the Apostles.
This can be seen from Marfa's use of blue-quality crossbows as family heirlooms.
In the ancient times when the Shattered Starry Sky was introduced to the Apostles, there were once certain intelligent races that planned to obtain the Apostles' god-level bloodline through guò marriage. However, the apostle's law body seems to be somewhat limited by the shattered starry sky and is unable to produce descendants with the native races, thus frustrating the plans of these intelligent races.
As for the apostles' skills, some of them could be passed on to the intelligent races. However, it only takes one skill scroll in the apostle to be able to learn the low-level skills of the hand, but in other intelligent beings, it takes years, decades to successfully cultivate.
Some high-ranking apostles speculated that this might be due to the different principles of the composition of the bodies of the two sides, after all, the body of the apostle is a law body, and skills are also a law, which is easily absorbed by the fusion of the body. The bodies of other intelligent beings are living bodies, and the laws of skill can only be fully mastered and used through long-term cultivation and familiarization.
"Well, that monster heart core and eyeball are equipment materials, if you help me make moonlight grass and golden silkworm dust into a potion, then these two equipment materials will be given to you!" Qin Lun showed a charming smile that was harmless to humans and animals.
Adeline's expression was a little stern, and she looked at Qin Lun silently, and did not speak for a long time.
It wasn't until the young man felt a little uncomfortable that the elven beauty said quietly: "The Moonlight Forest follows the principle of equal exchange, and there is a fee for helping the apostles to make potions and equipment. In general, the production of low-grade medicines and equipment is 30% of the materials; Medium quality items, 50% material! ”
"And what about high-quality items?" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he immediately asked.
"Our alchemists and pharmacists are unable to decipher the principles and laws of the Otherworld's high-level treasures, and the failure rate of forcibly making high-quality items is very high, and occasional success is also a matter of luck. If you want to make high-quality equipment, you must go to a special apostle city, and only there are professional apostles who have cultivated alchemy skills. ”
Adeline stroked the hair around her ear and said nonchalantly, "Moonlight grass and golden silkworm dust can be combined into a healing ointment, but there are other auxiliary materials missing. The quality of the eyeballs and heart cores is not very high, and our alchemists have a limited level, so it is estimated that they can only be made into consumable items. If you bring them to Apostle City, you should have a chance to make blue-quality equipment......"
"No, I'll hand over these things to you, and the material cost will come from here, even if all the production fails, it doesn't matter!" Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "I am very grateful to the Moonlight Forest for their help during this time, even if you use these materials to train your pharmacists, you should be." ”
The Moonlight Forest implemented the principle of equivalent exchange to the apostles and helped Qin Lun to make the elixir, and they also had benefits, and the materials they received were equivalent to getting a healing ointment for nothing. Don't underestimate this healing ointment, the medicine that can heal injuries in just a few minutes in battle is worth no less than a small bottle of World Tree Flower Dew.
However, Qin Lun was so easy to speak, but it made Adeline silent. Although she was not as experienced as her father Marfa in receiving apostles, she also knew that Qin Lun's current attitude was very problematic.
The apostle's transfer of benefits to the floating city is actually not a good thing for the floating city, which shows that the apostle is repaying the favor of the floating city in the early stage.
In Qin Lun's words, Adeline also heard a strong hint. The youth, who always had a smile on her face, was suggesting that she could swallow the materials without having to give him anything.
These potion materials and two equipment materials are worth more than the three items that Marfa gave to the youth. In other words, Qin Lun was using this method to return the favor of the Moonlight Forest and Marfa's investment.
Adeline twitched her delicate little nose and glanced at Qin Lun dissatisfied. She really didn't want to be involved in this kind of thing. However, as Marfa's daughter, Qin Lun should return the favor to her, and she must make her own choice.
Take away the materials, and the bond between Qin Lun and the Moonlit Night Elf will be severed in two, and no one owes anyone. It is also possible to leave a part of the materials as refining costs, which is in line with the principle of equivalent exchange in the Moonlight Forest.
Of course, Adeline has another option, which is to continue to increase investment in Qin Lun and let the Moria family make zuò ointments and equipment for free. However, Qin Lun's expectations for the Apostle City were very obvious, and the Moonlight Forest was only afraid that he would not be able to keep this official apostle, and this choice was not wise.
"It's been a long time since the Moonlight Forest came out of the Elven Continent, and it consumes a lot of resources. I'm afraid there will be a shortage of auxiliary materials for making zuò healing ointments, can you provide me with some, and I will give you a detailed description of the shape and name of these materials. Adeline said with a flat face.
"Absolutely!" Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully. According to the description of the elven beauty, he purchased more than twenty auxiliary materials for making zuò healing ointment from the list of materials on the huàn list, and handed them to her along with the moonlight grass and the golden silkworm dust.
"Tomorrow morning, the Moonlight Forest will return through the Gate of the Starry Sky, the opening scene of the large Starry Sky Gate is very magnificent, if you are interested, you can get up early to watch!" Adeline greeted Qin Lun's distant back.
Qin Lun didn't look back, just raised his hand and shook it, heading towards the tunnel at the bottom of the lake, leaving only Adeline with her head bowed and contemplative in the forest.
"Adeline!" Not long after Qin Lun left, a deep voice suddenly sounded in Adeline's ears that dragged out her tone.
"Huh, Lord Fernand? Why did you wake up, I remember you just went to sleep last month! The elven beauty turned her head in surprise and looked at the old face that suddenly appeared on the trunk of the giant tree.
"That apostle just now is very dangerous......" The treeman's pale face, full of cracks and wrinkles, moved slightly, and slowly spat out the words.
"How are you...... Is it the test you just had? Adeline quickly understood, and her face changed.
"Well, I felt an unsettling aura in that apostle after he was anesthetized with psychedelic gases...... That aura is very dark and evil...... You have to be careful! After warning the elven beauty, the treant closed his eyes again.
"The terrifying aura that can wake a Treant from its long sleep...... Father, you've found an interesting apostle! Adeline rested her chin in her hands and looked at the moonlit lake in the distance.
The next day, Qin Lun had already woken up very early and walked towards the outside of the town with Didi. On the shore of Moonlight Lake, they ran into someone else. Xiaolian, Lin Feng, disciple Hansen and others were waiting for the ship to pick them up. Like Qin Lun, they wanted to go to the small island in the middle of Moonlight Lake and watch the opening of the starry sky gate there.
"Qin Lun Great Demon King!" Xiaolian happily beckoned to Qin Lun.
"Boss Qin Lun, you're here too!" Lin Feng's face was still full of flattering smiles.
However, Qin Lun could see that this son of the family was a little different from more than half a month ago, and there was more confidence and calmness in his eyes.
"This little follower of yours seems to have worked hard all this time, working hard to exercise and learn elven martial arts in the academy." Disciple Han Sen didn't know when he came to Qin Lun's side, and said softly with a slight teasing, looking at Lin Feng's eyes full of banter.
"Everyone has the right to live, and he is not my follower!" Qin Lun turned his head to look at Han Sen, his pupils immediately shrank, and he said inexplicably, "It seems that you are very lucky!" ”
"Oh, do you mean that?" Hansen was slightly stunned, then pointed to his shoulder, grinned, and said with a flash in his eyes, "Didn't you have it a long time ago?" Of the four of us, you're the first to own it! ”
Compared with half a month ago, Hansen has an extra "tattoo" of a black-winged angel on his bare shoulder. It's just that Qin Lun knows that this is not a tattoo, but an apostle soul seal, and it can turn into a clear pattern of a black-winged angel, indicating that Han Sen has also obtained special equipment similar to the death list.
"Who are the other two?" Qin Lun smiled noncommittally.
"Hehe, it's okay to sue you, the other two are Shepherd Hill and Clown Grant!" Hansen looked at a corner of the crowd and pursed his lips, and said disdainfully, "Among the five of us, only Fireworks Land is lagging behind, and cowards who rely on bombs to kill people really can't!" ”
As the two spoke, a small black dot appeared on the surface of the lake, slowly drifting from a distance......
