Chapter 438: Ambergris
"What is this?"
Feeling the special effect of the fragrance emanating from the wooden box, Andy asked with some surprise, if he could comprehend witchcraft in this state all the time, Andy believed that he could quickly comprehend the curse of doom, and even the plague and death book that had been stagnant, and he could also get new gains from it.
"It's ambergris, and of course, it's not the ordinary ambergris that is used to make perfumes. ”
Jean's tone was a little proud, he held up the wooden box in his hand, sighed softly, as if he was sighing, and said softly.
"It's something I got when I was younger, it came from a huge sperm whale sea beast, it was an immensely huge ocean overlord, I couldn't even believe that something could hurt it. ”
Jean said slowly, stroking the wooden box as if he were caressing his lover.
"I was given two pieces of ambergris at that time, and with one of them, I became an alchemist and was appreciated by my teacher, and this one, which I had prepared for my children, was just ...... Ha, he died on the sea, on the way to the adventure. ”
Jean sighed and fell silent, his cloudy eyes seeming to moisten a little.
"The smell of ambergris can make people's minds clearer, and has a strong amplifying effect on the comprehension of witchcraft, alchemy, etc. ”
"Moreover, there is a kind of fog in the Forest of Death, even the legendary pirate king, after staying in the fog for a long time, will lose himself in it, and having this ambergris can also make you stay in the fog for a longer time. ”
After Jean finished speaking, he handed the wooden box to Andy, looking at his eyes seemed to be very reluctant, if it weren't for the black crystal stone that could increase his lifespan, Jean would never have taken this thing out.
Although he also has some other valuables, they are dispensable to Andy and will not help Andy as he enters the Deadforest Forest.
The value of ambergris and the value of the black crystal stone are not very easy to judge, after all, there are very few things that can increase lifespan, and most of them are life spirit liquid jadeites that flow out of Nie Xiao's treasure ground, and there are very few great wizards in the world who can give this kind of witchcraft to the god of voodoo, so this also makes this black spar almost priceless treasure for Old Jean, who urgently needs to increase his lifespan.
And ambergris comes from sperm whales, but the ambergris in the body of ordinary sperm whale sea beasts is only suitable for making perfume and general potions, and this ambergris of the old alchemist Jean comes from an invincible sea beast, which is also rare in the world, plus it can make people understand witchcraft faster, and it is also a priceless thing for some wizards.
Using it in exchange for black hedron, Jean didn't suffer, and so did Andy, which can be said to be a fair deal.
Andy hesitated, he could vaguely guess the value of this piece of ambergris, and seeing Gene's reluctance, it seemed unlikely that Andy would get anything else from Gene.
You know, Jean is the most powerful alchemist on Skull Island, and he must have many valuable treasures, after all, Tulouis old Bryn, and a replica of the Endless Gold Pocket.
"You're not satisfied?"
Seeing Andy's hesitant face, Jean frowned, his chest heaved a few times, and he looked angry.
"You greedy little ghost! A bottle of jade elixir that increases the life span of five years is only a few hundred thousand gold coins, which is a gold coin that has already been refined, and this piece of ambergris is a priceless treasure. ”
"Ha, old Jean, you have countless gold coins, but can you buy the jade potion you said with hundreds of thousands of gold coins?
Andy scoffed, holding the black hedron and shaking it in front of old Jean's eyes.
"Take a closer look at it, and I'm guessing it's probably the first time you've come across something in years that will increase your lifespan. ”
Old Jean froze, he looked at Andy with a strange face, and took a few steps back weakly.
Andy wasn't wrong, even in the Central Sea, Ichor Emeralds are rare, most of the Ichor Emeralds are in the hands of various pirates and even legendary pirate kings, although they haven't been half in the coffin like Jean, but this does not prevent those people from planning for their future.
Jean hadn't seen anything that could increase human lifespan for years, this was his last straw, because of some evil secret technique, Jean lived for a long time, and now he is more than one hundred and forty years old, missing the black hedron in Andy's hand, if Jean can't find anything else that can increase lifespan, he will really die.
"Okay, tell me what else you want, but boy, you'd better not be too greedy, for an alchemist, many things are more important than his life!"
Jean said threateningly, and Andy sneered inwardly, Jean wasn't necessarily the kind of guy who would give up his life to stand up for his principles.
"I need a powerful magic weapon, and as you can see, this magic sword of mine is too weak. ”
Andy pointed to the long sword hanging from his waist and said a little depressed.
"If you want a magic weapon, you should go to the blacksmith shop on the other side of the square, I'm here for the alchemy shop, oh, maybe I can send you a few bottles of advanced life potions that I personally refined, these powerful potions can quickly heal your internal organs, in the forest of death, injuries are inevitable, how about it?"
Jean picked up a dark red flask from the table next to him, a sincere smile on his face.
Andy looked at him with a smile on his face and didn't speak.
“......”
"I really don't have any magic weapons here, I can also give you a bottle of gill potion, and if you're still not satisfied, our deal ends here. ”
Jean simply spread his hands and clearly expressed his bottom line to Andy.
"Alright, well, I'm just kidding you, old Jean, our deal is still very pleasant, what do you say?
Olivia looked away from the mural on the wall, and she smiled and nodded.
"A piece of ambergris, five bottles of advanced life elixir, and two bottles of gill elixir, although we have suffered a little, it is still within an acceptable range......
“......”
Old Jean stiffened out a smile, his clumsy body seemed to be weighing thousands of pounds of weight, with a stiff expression on his face, and nodded to Olivia.
"yes, fair trade. ”
Andy couldn't help but smile, but his eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and he quietly gave Olivia a thumbs up, Olivia blinked, and her face returned to her indifferent appearance.
