"Am I that stupid?" Downton was a little disappointed.

"It's not that you're stupid, it's experience, if you want to improve the success rate of the configuration of the same potion, in addition to practice makes perfect, it is to use a more perfect formula. Homer sighed, "The seventeenth improved formula for magic energy extraction potions, although it has increased the success rate, it has also made it a lot more difficult to operate, and the failure rate of junior potions masters will be high, not to mention your apprentice." ”

"Can you show me?" Downton didn't want to give up.

The Magic Book projected a recipe, using only five more herbs than the original version popular in the Western Earth Continent, but the steps were twenty-seven steps higher.

Downton is no longer a layman who doesn't know anything, he understands that any kind of potion can increase the success rate of potion configuration only by improving the steps with less additional potions, which is definitely a modification that genius can do.

"The recipe involves some advanced operations such as high-frequency oscillation, steam drip distillation, etc., which can only be done by intermediate potions, and it is a complete waste of herbs and time to let the beginner do it. Homer reassured, "That's why the recipe didn't spread." ”

Of course, Homer didn't say that none of its owners were poor enough to sell the potion to make a living.

"I'd like to give it a try!" Downton stared at the formula, unblinking, lost in thought.

"It's useless, I've told you before that Potions is a very boring subject, and you can't succeed without spending a lot of time. "The Grimome doesn't care about wasted potions, it's just a pity for time.

The independent laboratory burned a large number of magic stones to slow down the flow of time, which was still not enough for Downton, and if it was changed to the Western Earth Continent, it would mean that a year and a half would pass quickly.

"Being young is a priceless asset, and you should use it for what you do best. Homer's rare bitter persuasion. "With your qualifications, coupled with the resources of Dungeon Porusna, even without my teaching, you are likely to be promoted to the Dragon Slayer rank before the age of twenty-five, and when the time comes, you will be able to learn Potions as much as you want. ”

"I want to give it a try. Downton picked up the quill. Sketching on a piece of paper, "I can specialize in practicing these six difficult operations, and you see, it's easier to break down the tedious steps." ”

The Grimodian knew this method, but it still took time, and it wanted to refuse, but it watched Downton seriously sit on the desk and write a string of formulas. I really can't open my mouth.

"I have calculated, it takes nearly two hours to prepare a modified potion, of which distillation and standing, these steps take a long time, and I am not busy during the period, I can do the instillation process of the second potion, followed by the oscillation operation of the third potion...... , stagger the time to make the most of it. I can run three configuration experiments at the same time, as long as one of them succeeds. It's worth the ticket price. ”

Downton wrote quickly, dismantling each step of the experiment, and listing the time required,

Looking at the data at a glance, Homer was surprised, it didn't expect Downton to find a solution so quickly. This kid may be really talented in potions.

Because the previous owner used it, Homer knew that it was possible, but there was a premise.

"Are you sure you can do it down to the second?instillation temperature, pipetting time, shaking force, etc. Even a slight delay can lead to the failure of the experiment, and during the experiment, you need to stay focused, which consumes a lot of brain power, are you sure you can take the whole picture and do it in an orderly manner?"

Downton had also carried out two potion configurations at the same time just now, but that was the basic, simple to death, but the improved potion was different, even if the intermediate potions master only made one, he did not dare to guarantee an eighty percent success rate.

Downton didn't answer immediately, but kept calculating, the tip of his pen scratching the paper, leaving a pleasant rustle.

Homer appreciates Downton's attitude, he won't make promises casually, but as long as he says it, he will have the confidence to do it.

"I can do it. Downton nodded, no matter what the cost, he had to work hard to do it, to get ahead as a potions master, to get a decent job, to make his mother happy, to make his sister happy, it was his pursuit.

"Then do it. The Grimome stopped persuading, and looking at the contours of Downton's angular face, it understood that this was a teenager who would go all out to fight once he made a decision.

The rest of the time, Downton spent all his time practicing these advanced operations, a thousand times if it didn't work, then ten thousand times, a hundred thousand times.

With Downton's third-order physique, practicing the concussive triangular flask, he actually tired his wrists to the point of being sore and trembling, and he couldn't even grasp the dinner knife.

By the time Downton left the Independent Laboratory, he had almost lost weight.

Potions is a very brain-intensive discipline, and in addition to extremely accurate operations, it also requires a lot of calculations, and you can't relax at any time.

"Crazy!" The Grimome had seen Downton's death in battle, and he was writing hard in the Great Library, but he didn't expect that he would still be like an hourglass of time in his experiments, and he would never stop.

When Downton returned to his dorm, he startled Jackson, who was poking a dagger at the table in boredom.

"Master, you look so tired, like you've been wheeled with rice by ten succubi!" Jackson smacked his lips, thinking that his metaphor was cool, poetic.

"Get out!" Downton scolded angrily, and lay down directly on the bed, turning his head down to sleep, although sleepy, but his mental state was good, five days of high-intensity training has greatly improved his completion rate, and in another ten days, he can start to configure the improved potion.

"Master, don't sleep yet, it's a servant's overseer's uniform. Jackson picked up a neatly stacked black uniform and walked over to Downton, kneeling on one knee.

I have to say that Jackson's flattery is really good, and he never forgets it, but Downton is not used to it.

"Stand up and get out of the way. Downton grabbed the black baton on his shirt and made a gesture to whip Jackson.

"Don't fight yet, we're in trouble. Jackson protected his head, "Your cronies and miners have all been cleaned up and seriously injured by excuses, and if you don't look at it again, people's hearts will be scattered." ”

Downton looked out the window, the orange sunset was everywhere, and the fiery clouds dotted the sky.

In the course of that day, Overseer Shili had already shocked the ordinary miners with a frenzied revenge, they couldn't kill Downton, but they were able to deal with these miscellaneous fish.

"I can guarantee that no one will dare to talk to you when you go out now!" Jackson licked his lips, revealing a hint of hideousness, "If you want me to say, we will kill all those who disobey and hang them." ”

"Wake me up at 8 o'clock. Downton pulled the copper-cased pocket watch out of his pocket, glanced at the hands, and threw it to Jackson.

Shooting blindly will have the opposite effect, Downton has to take a break and think about dealing with Jihua by the way.

It was getting dark quickly, and the tired miners, who had eaten dinner, walked back to their dormitories by the light of the spar lamps.

Before Jackson could wake Downton, there was already a knock on the door.

"Go open the door!" Downton sat up, took a few pieces of bread and ham from his backpack, chewed slowly, and put on a calm gesture.

"Overseer!"

Six apprehensive miners walked in and greeted Downton respectfully, they had no choice but to run fast, they would have been blocked by the overseer, and it would have been a violent beating.

"Are you stupid?weishenme won't fight back?" Downton cursed, he had to raise the momentum of these miners first, otherwise a bunch of soft eggs, how could they compete with the overseer Shili?

The miners lowered their heads and did not speak, but the meaning was self-evident, they were overseers, so why should they fight with them?

"You forgot? I'm also an overseer, I'm your backstage, I'll carry it for you!" What Downton wants is to form a shili, more than 10,000 miners combined, even if they are not magicians, the noise is enough for those overseers to drink a pot.

The miners looked at each other with joy, and they were relieved to have this sentence.

"Go ahead, gather the miners who can fight, gather enough three hundreds, and tonight we will get back all the grievances that everyone has suffered. Downton reassured everyone, "Don't be afraid, I'm a paladin, I'm injured, I'll be in charge of treatment, and I'll give you a pension." ”

"We don't want money. "How dare the miners ask for pay, they can't even get out of Downton's temper, and they fear that he is saying perfunctory things.

"That's my decision, and when I go to someone, make it clear that whoever obeys my orders, has a salary of ten gold coins tonight, and works hard enough, I will recommend him to the head of the Dophink, and maybe get a position as an overseer. Downton waved his hand and slammed it on the table, "But don't blame me for not saying anything to the front, if Yang Fengyin violates the chain, I'll be the first to kill him." ”

The miners hurriedly patted their chests and assured that when they thought of Downton's backstage and strength, they felt that maybe this was really an opportunity to climb up.

"Go ahead!"

Hearing Downton's words, the miners hurriedly retired and went to pull their own friends, at this time, it was natural to huddle.

"Very good, radish and stick, this is the means of His Majesty. Homer advised, "You have to give the ordinary miners a subconscious, so that they feel that they will follow you, that they will have a beautiful prospect, that they will make a fortune, that they will become a master, and only then will they be able to serve their lives." ”

"Understand, I have to be tough, as long as I show enough strength to stand up to the overseer Shili, my subordinates will continue to expand like a snowball until it is impossible to ignore. "Downton reacted quickly, and he was able to get it through.

"Yes, but it's not enough to only have miner miscellaneous fish, tomorrow you have to ask for leave, go to Morning Mist Town to hire some mercenaries who lick the blood with knives, there will be no less bloody conflict in this month, you can't charge forward every time. "Homer has used the crisis in the Dagger Mine as a test to sharpen Downton, and after this time, I believe he will mature a lot.

"My lord, the three centurians have arrived. ”

Without making Downton wait long, his cronies rushed to report that they were already gearing up to do something. (To be continued......)
