South of Douala, 4th arrondissement, Servina Street

There is a small shop located here, and it can be seen from the stove on the outside of the house that it is half-visible from the wall, which is supposed to be a blacksmith shop, but the surrounding neighbors have never seen this blacksmith shop open in the past two years, and the door has not even been opened, and there is no light in the house all year round.

The old natives of the street who grew up here know part of the story: a few years ago, this house wasn't like this.

Originally, it was a tailor's shop, but then the tailor couldn't do it anymore, so he put the house out and was taken over by someone who doesn't know, and then it was renovated and transformed into what it is today, and it looked like he was going to open a blacksmith shop.

The neighbors in the neighborhood welcomed it, and if the blacksmith shop was opened, they would not have to go all the way to the blacksmith shop three blocks away, but unexpectedly, the house was renovated and remodeled, but it was delayed. As time went on, rumors spread that the house was haunted and killed the blacksmith's family, who had planned to open a shop here, and that the ghosts of the blacksmith family were trapped in the house and could not leave.

When the rumor first came out, the surrounding neighbors were very panicked, and they had to walk around the neighborhood at night, but as time passed, the original rumor gradually dissipated in people's memories, and many people became less and less afraid of this haunted house, almost forgetting it, and ignoring its existence for this house.

Until recently, this blacksmith shop, which was obviously on the street but was deliberately ignored by the neighbors, finally reasserted its presence.

No one knows how the legendary dead blacksmith family got the house out, but this house did usher in his new owner, and this new owner was quite able to toss, and he was busy for a whole day, until he settled down at night, and the doors and windows of the house also showed a dim light, showing that the house was revitalized and revitalized.

But now it was completely dark, and it was almost 8 bells, and most of the surrounding neighbors were now at home and ready to go to bed, and no one came to see the renewed vitality of the house, except for a beggar huddled at the base of the street wall opposite the blacksmith shop, lying on the ground, staring quietly at the blacksmith shop not far ahead.

In the north of winter, the weather is cold enough at night, and the beggar is thinly dressed, with few clothes on his body, let alone a bedding or anything, just curled up on the ground, but did not shiver because of the cold, but just lay quietly, and I didn't know how to see it and thought it was spring, otherwise the beggar had been completely frozen.

Norman, who was in this room at the moment, did not know that such a beggar was lying on the street outside his house, and he was in full swing to prepare for the refining of the antidote.

The main hall of the blacksmith is connected to the stove, which is considered a thorough hall and the largest overall space in the entire blacksmith shop.

The hall was now filled with tables and chairs—which Norman had moved from all the other rooms.

Tables and chairs were arranged in a disorderly manner in the hall, and when viewed from above, it looked like an inexplicable formation, and it looked like a complex labyrinth, and Ji Ruoxi stood on the outermost side, quietly watching.

There are a lot of materials on these tables and chairs, and they are placed in small piles, which is not much, but according to the different types, only one is placed on each countertop, which is why so many tables and chairs are used.

The tables and chairs seemed to be placed in a chaotic and crowded manner, but Norman moved freely through them, and kept muttering: "Flower and leaf paspalum, 12 orders, Su Mulan, 8 orders, seven-colored arrowroot, 11 orders ......"

The words in his mouth correspond to his steps, and every time he passes through a countertop, the items in his mouth will be compared with the things on the countertop, and after confirming that they are correct, he will walk through the formation of this table and chair and go to the next table.

From this preparation alone, you can see how complicated the tears of Cenarius really are, and before the refining of the antidote has begun, it is about to make people dizzy, but only Norman is like this - this large array of tables and chairs was specially designed for him by the Templars, and other potions masters do not have this treatment.

Of course, Norman is not a masochist, and he has to complicate things to be comfortable.

He and the Knights Templar did this entirely because they had discovered that there were many things that he could not do alone according to the antidote refining method given by Stanley. In other words, not only did he have to be good at potions, but he also had to have at least two assistants who were familiar with the materials to help him refine the antidote.

This is probably also the correct refining method for the antidote to the potion of Cenarius's tears, after all, it is a magical elixir that can make the dragons eat deflated, and it is normal for several people to work together to refine successfully, which only confirms the authenticity of this antidote, but the problem is that Norman is now alone!

If it were purely human, Norman would really be able to pull out two of them now, one Pirno and one Guilla, but these two are masters who don't know anything about potions, and they want to train these two to become qualified assistants in just a few days, and he really can't think of any other way to make these two become his qualified assistants except for the magical encounter of reincarnation time he has encountered.

But if he doesn't have an assistant, what will he do?

Norman didn't know what to do under hard thought: "Catching the Sea Heart Sutra" can split his mental power, but even if his mental power can be divided, his body is still monolithic, and this thing can't be separated.

In the end, Norman really had no choice, but the Knights Templar were really awesome and came up with a solution.

After the Knights Templar made overall calculations, using the characteristics of time and space, they forcibly designed a set of spatial orientation designs that did not require assistants, that is, the large array of tables and chairs that Norman now placed.

Through the magical use of space and time, the two assistants necessary for the antidote refining were all omitted and completely replaced by this large array. Theoretically speaking, as long as this large array can be used reasonably, then the refining of the antidote can be completed by one person.

This is another initiative that subverts the traditional concept of potions, and if Stanley knows about it, I'm afraid his jaw will fall in shock.

However, this method is not perfect, it has one of the biggest drawbacks, that is, it is too complicated!

Three-dimensional spatial structure diagrams, like spider webs, with a total number of thousands of path maps, these things themselves are difficult enough to understand and memorize, rote memorization is so difficult, and to use it flexibly is even more difficult, extremely complex.

What's more, these things are fed back into reality, and they also need a high degree of fine coordination of the body, and when you step out, from the toes to the heels, the direction and angle of the entire ball of the foot can not be bad! These things not only require strong body control, but also need to consume a lot of mind.

Taken together, a simple "complex" can no longer be used to describe its difficulty.

Thanks to Norman's developed mental power now, he has 128 bundles of mental power to think at the same time, and his calculation ability is far beyond that of ordinary potions masters, so he can organize everything in an orderly manner and not make a mistake. If you were someone else, I was afraid that it would be stagnant at the first level of understanding memory, not to mention the flexible use later.

Of course, it was not easy for Norman to do this, his brain like a super CPU was already running at high speed at the moment, as many as 76 spiritual cores were doing calculations related to refining work, 12 were processing information exchanges with the Templar Order, 16 were controlling various parts of his body in detail, 6 were stationed in the live broadcast room in turn, and 18 were waiting for their seats, leaving room for free, ready to go where they couldn't go.

After successfully devouring those souls, it was the first time that Norman had used his mental power on such a large scale and with high efficiency.

"100 iris, 9 orders, ice cordyceps, 16 orders......"

Norman walked through the large array of tables and chairs, and although the tables and chairs seemed to be placed close together, he did not touch anything around him for a moment, and a pair of eyes swept over the countertop.

He is now doing the final inspection, checking whether the materials, utensils, etc. have been in place, and there are no mistakes or omissions, and the second is to let himself finally familiarize himself with the large array of tables and chairs, so as not to be confused.

When Norman had finished his trip and reached the middle of the array, his preparations were finally complete.

Then Norman didn't rest, he just took a deep breath, didn't stop for long, and officially started the refining work of the elixir!

First, let the Ice Cordyceps Grass and the Hundred Bushes react, and the magic power required is 0.7 and 0.5 respectively, and the method is to heat ......

When it comes to the Templar Order's most comfortable invention for Norman, it's their set of thoroughly quantified standards.

To the Knights Templar, nothing seemed to be unfathomable between heaven and earth, and if the right way was found, everything could be identified with specific numerical values. And after getting used to their method, Norman did feel more and more comfortable using this kind of quantitative standard, he only needed to memorize the key values, which saved him a lot of calculation energy.

After the Normans began their formal refining, the Knights Templar were not idle.

They were more serious than Norman.

Although they don't approve of this matter, but the risk has already been taken, and if you don't take it seriously and the result fails, then isn't the risk in vain?

In Lancelot's view, now they can only succeed, not fail! Since the risk has been taken out, then they must get the benefits behind the risk! That is to say, they must successfully refine the antidote and save the two dragons, so that they can get a lot of follow-up benefits.

Therefore, in Norman's busy work, they also monitored various potion refining reactions in real time through the screen, and constantly compared them with the data in the sandbox, verifying the theory with practice, and constantly adjusting the theory, adjusting it in the direction that is most in line with the truth, so as to achieve the result of using theory to premonition practice and guide practice.

And their work soon bore fruit.

"The power of the No. 3 pot iris hundred demons has increased by 0.2 squares. ”

"Pot 1 extinguishes the fire. ”

"Pot 2 is ready to come out. ”

"Ready for transition, 6, 5 from the bottom, 5,4,3......"

......

Norman transferred another 10 spiritual powers to the calculation of the refining work, leaving only 8 spiritual powers to be idle.

Now his spiritual power in the refining work has not only increased to 86, but the computing power of these spiritual powers has changed from the previous high-speed operation to full-speed operation, which makes Norman's entire computing power to a new level compared to just now!

He even felt now that if someone had lifted his skull right now, they might have seen his brain smoking.

But just how intense and exciting the work was known only to Norman himself and the Knights Templar, and not to the onlookers.

At most, they could see a hint of the great array of tables and chairs.

For example, Ji Ruoxi.

Ji Ruoxi watched for a long time, starting from the time Norman set the table, but she saw it now, and she couldn't see the mystery contained in these tables and chairs, but she did know that there was a mystery in it - she saw with her own eyes just now, Norman took a step back to the right, and the whole person appeared in the left rear of his original position!

She distinctly remembered that Norman's original position was separated from his current position by a table, how he had ended up there, and that he had taken a step in the other direction.

There is obviously a lot of way to this, and she is waiting and waiting at the moment, so she simply studies it. Unfortunately, even though she had seen with her own eyes how Norman had set up the table and chairs, she couldn't see the slightest hint of it.

It was something completely alien to her.

Not only did she not see the doorway of the large array of tables and chairs, but she couldn't even see the doorway of the potion refining, in her eyes, she just saw Norman suddenly appear here, and then suddenly appear there, one moment to boil the pot, the other time to put the water, the prepared grass, wood, stone and other materials for a while to be refined, and a while to put some of the refined semi-finished products together to pound.

Looking at it, Ji Ruoxi actually felt that this was very pleasing to the eye: Norman was always not in a hurry, he was doing what he should do steadily, everything was orderly, but his real speed was actually extremely fast, whether it was walking around or refining, Norman's speed was actually very fast.

This kind of senses that seem to be slow and fast, fast and slow, as if watching a beautiful dance, makes people feel a strange sense of pleasure, and I feel very comfortable.

It's like it's become an art. 8)
