250th Master Mara
In the midst of the tallest spire in the city of Anjost, Grand Duke Edwina gently pushed open a carved wooden door and looked at the elderly elf who was using a strange device to observe the sky, her hair pure white and her face already a little loose.
"Good morning, Master Mara!" said Grand Duke Edwina softly.
"Grand Duke Edwina, this morning's Daystar is particularly bright, indicating that today's luck will be very good, and I will start trying to refine the 'Soul Quenching Elixir' in a while. Master Mara withdrew his gaze from the strange device, turned to Grand Duke Edwina and smiled.
"It's been two years since you developed the 'Soul Quenching Elixir', how is the progress?" Grand Duke Edwina had already guessed in his heart that the development progress was not ideal when he heard that Master Mara had decided whether to try refining potions today.
"Grand Duke Edwina, if I can develop the 'Soul Quenching Elixir' in my lifetime, this life can be regarded as worthy of the title of master given by the elven race. Master Mara shook her head lightly and sighed.
Master Mara is an honorary master, there is no real master among the alchemists, there are two ways to be called a master by the world, that is, the honorary master, one is the alchemist who forcibly refines the master-level alchemy works at the cost of the materials used by the senior alchemist, this kind of senior alchemist has special research on a certain kind of master-level alchemy work, and through a large number of master-level formula materials are forcibly refined regardless of the cost, with a very low success rate and a very high material scrap rate to obtain a master-level alchemy work.
Another kind of honorary master is an alchemist who has made significant contributions to alchemy by studying alchemy recipes to obtain new and useful recipes, and Master Mara is such an honorary master.
Master Mara has developed a variety of alchemy recipes that are useful to elves, especially in apothery, and has a natural acuity, and now she is researching the 'Soul Quenching Elixir' is a research funded by Grand Duke Edwina, which uses potions to increase the purity of the soul to help the druids improve their strength faster.
"Master Mara, look at this. "Grand Duke Edwina took out a blue bottle of 'Elf Perfume,' one of the forty blue 'Elf Perfumes' that Carrie had sent to her early in the morning.
Master Mara took the blue 'Elf Perfume', put it in front of his eyes, looked at the liquid in the bottle through the bottle, and said, "This is a bottle of 'Elf Perfume' obtained with a flash of inspiration, using the most ordinary materials!"
Grand Duke Edwina listened quietly to Master Mara's judgment, and there was a hint of strangeness in her expression.
Master Mara gently opened the cap of the blue 'Elf Perfume' bottle, put it to her nose and sniffed it lightly, only for a moment her expression became very excited, as if the thing she was pursuing suddenly appeared in front of her, when she closed the lid again, her eyes suddenly sharpened, and she turned her head to look at Grand Duke Edwina and said: "Pure Soul! Which master is this the work of a master who actually uses an ordinary elf perfume recipe to make a 'elf perfume' that can purify the soul?"
"Do you have any discoveries in this bottle of 'elven perfume', and any implications for your research?" asked Grand Duke Edwina instead of answering Master Mara's question.
"Grand Duke Edwina, you wait, I'll do some tests and I'll know, but after I have done the test, this bottle of 'Elf Perfume' will be used up, have you decided to let me test it?" Master Mara was a little eager to try, but still asked Archduke Edwina softly, to confirm whether she would let her use this precious bottle of 'Elf Perfume' with special value.
"Master Mara, you can test, if it's not enough, I still have it here!" said Grand Duke Edwina with a nonchalant wave of his hand.
The only reason why Grand Duke Edwina can be so generous to this kind of blue 'elf perfume' that has never appeared in the outside world is that Abel refined forty bottles in one night, and in the morning she could sense that her eldest daughter Carrie was in a very good mood through her talent, and with her understanding of Carrie, it must have been beneficial, that is to say, the blue 'elf perfume' that Abel refined in one night must have exceeded forty bottles.
Master Mara didn't be polite, she came to the alchemy table with the 'Elf Perfume', poured a 'Elf Perfume' into the ten crystal test tubes, and then dripped into different liquids, and then she performed 'Extreme Fermentation' on each crystal test tube, and soon the ten crystal test tubes showed different colors.
"No, it can't be!" Master Mara shook the crystal test tube in her hand vigorously, as if she was not satisfied with the result in front of her, she dipped the liquid in one of the test tubes with her fingers, put it in her mouth, and then quickly spit it out, and picked up another crystal test tube.
Grand Duke Edwina noticed that there was something wrong with Master Mara's mood, and said softly: "Master Mara, if there is trouble with the test, you can test it slowly, don't worry." ”
"Grand Duke Edwina, please give me another bottle of 'Elven Perfume'!" Master Mara put down the crystal test tube in his hand and turned back to Grand Duke Edwina.
"The 'Elven Perfume' is enough for you to test, and if you have any questions, I can call the alchemist who refines the 'Elven Perfume' and answer your questions in person. "Grand Duke Edwina took out another bottle of blue 'Elven Perfume' and handed it to Master Mara, and then said.
"Grand Duke Edwina, please respect this master of refining 'elven perfumes', and if I have any doubts, I will go to him and ask him for advice, instead of inviting the master to me!" said Master Mara solemnly, and after saying this, she began to test it again.
Grand Duke Edwina felt as if she had underestimated the blue 'Elven Perfume' that she thought would be helpful for her cultivation, perhaps what she saw in the eyes of the alchemy master was a little different from what she saw, and she would know when the results of Master Mara's test came out.
Time passed little by little, and the results of the test again calmed down Mara, who was already a little crazy, she poured out the liquid in the crystal test tube, and then began to clean the crystal test tube, cleaning very carefully, in the cleaning process, her expression became more and more calm, after cleaning all the alchemy utensils, she also completely calmed down, and became the wise alchemy master again.
"Grand Duke Edwina, this master is terrifying, from the tests I just had, the materials he uses are the most ordinary materials, but he makes the most of each material. "Speaking of which, Master Mara has confirmed that the alchemist who refines the blue 'Elf Perfume' is an alchemist who is at least an honorary master, and when it comes to the effect of the material, she has an incomprehensible look.
"It may not be accurate to say that it is exerted to the extreme, it seems that it has exceeded the effect of the material itself, he may have increased the number of materials in order to obtain the maximum effect!" Master Mara said with some uncertainty, because the number of strengthening materials is equal to the proportion of all materials to be adjusted, this is not simply to increase all materials in the same proportion, but to reformulate the formula, to find the balance between various materials, this is almost to develop a new formula.
"Especially the last flash of inspiration, while forcibly raising the level of 'Elf Perfume', it also activates the effect of all materials, but as for the effect that can purify the soul, I still don't know how to get it. Master Mara paused and asked, "Which master is this?"
"His name is Bennett, and he is a junior alchemist who has just learned alchemy. "Grand Duke Edwina didn't want to reveal Abel's identity, but only introduced Abel's pseudonym.
"How could he be a junior alchemist, how did he do it if he was a junior alchemist, how did he handle the materials, how did he readjust the recipe?"
Grand Duke Edwina nodded and said, "Yes, I have arranged Bennett in the city, and Master Mara can go at any time." ”
At this time, Grand Duke Edwina did not tell Master Mara about the dozens of bottles of blue 'elf perfume' in the package, let alone tell her that Abel had refined more than forty bottles of blue 'elf perfume' in just one night. [.]
