Chen Qinghe's body is deteriorating at a rate that is visible to the naked eye of a Norman.

The natural glow on his skin has become duller than yesterday, and the wrinkles on his face have increased. These subtle changes may not be visible to ordinary people, but they can be seen clearly through Norman's eyes, which are constantly undergoing fundamental changes.

Norman half-squatted down on the side of the bed and softly called his name twice: "Chen Qinghe, Chen Qinghe......"

But the person on the bed didn't move.

Looking at this situation, he has no way to take this medicine by himself.

Norman took out the hidden antidote bottle from his clothes, reached out, pried Chen Qinghe's mouth open, and poured the antidote in the bottle hard.

By now, he had no room to retreat, so he didn't hesitate at all when he did this, and his actions were very decisive.

For the sake of prudence, Norman did not pour all the antidote he had refined into Chen Qinghe, but poured a standard dose, but Chen Qinghe was indeed on the verge of death now, and he didn't even have the consciousness to complete the swallowing action, and finally Norman pinched his throat, gently stroked and pressed according to the instructions of the Templar Knights, and used external force to help him swallow the antidote.

After pouring the antidote, Norman re-plugged the antidote bottle and put it back in his arms, then stood up and stood on the edge of the bed and stared at Chen Qinghe on the bed for a while.

The damage caused by Cenarius's tears to Chen Qinghe's body did not immediately improve after he poured the antidote to Chen Qinghe, what it was before, and what it is now. I don't know if Stanley really lied to him and gave him a fake antidote formula, or if it took time for the antidote to work.

Norman can only pray now that the antidote will take time.

"You keep watch over him here. ”

Norman opened his mouth and instructed Pirneult behind him, and Pirneau patted his chest and swore a promise: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, even if I don't want to fight for my own life, I will definitely take care of him, and I will definitely not live up to the expectations of adults!"

This guy has been with Norman for a while, and he hasn't learned anything else, but his kung fu has grown more and more.

"As soon as there is a situation here, you can find a way to go out and inform us, the location is in ......"

Norman explained everything that needed to be said, and finally looked at Chen Qinghe on the bed again.

That's the situation, I don't know if it's good or bad, it's not interesting to continue to stay here, and he still has some business to do, so Norman didn't stay long.

After Ji Ruoxi's side handed over to Xival, Norman wanted to leave immediately, but Xival actually arranged a rather grand luncheon to treat them. There was no way, the two of them had to eat the meal with Xival first, and then he and Ji Ruoxi were finally able to leave the castle again and go to the small blacksmith shop.

Probably because of the two weapons that Norman had made at hand, Sival not only arranged a grand luncheon for the two of them, but also sent a very luxurious two-horse carriage to send them there on the way from the castle to the small blacksmith's shop, which was more luxurious than his own car—of course, this was also related to Comrade Shival's habit of keeping a low profile and deliberately low-minded car.

The carriage of this two-horse carriage is quite large, the two people sit very spacious, the walls of the carriage are very thick, and the sound insulation effect is also very good. There are glass sunroofs on both sides of the carriage that cannot be opened and closed, and the light transmittance is good, even if the doors and windows are all closed, the light can also be transmitted through the glass windows, so that the carriage does not look dim, and the light is quite sufficient.

"How's he doing?"

Ji Ruoxi has been holding back from the castle until now, until the carriage finally hit the road at this moment, she couldn't hold back any longer, and asked Norman in a low voice.

Norman replied truthfully: "I don't know, I don't see any changes for the time being, but I guess the antidote should have an onset of effect." It's not a spell, it's a potion, and it takes time for it to work. I also let Pirneau keep an eye on it and let us know as soon as something happened. ”

After listening to Norman's words, Ji Ruoxi didn't speak again, sat silently on the side, turned his head to look to the side, and the whole person just sat there motionless until the carriage came to their destination.

When they arrived at the blacksmith shop, the two men got out of the carriage and found another thing: around the blacksmith shop, there were several people around.

Most of them were merchants, but all others were servants. On the ground at the feet of these people, there were boxes, large and small, and I didn't know what they contained.

Seeing that the carriage stopped here, after Ji Ruoxi and Norman got out of the carriage, these people who were still looking around and chatting with each other gathered their eyes, and then those businessman-like people walked out of the crowd and greeted Norman and the two of them.

Seeing this, Norman couldn't figure out for a moment who these people were, and what they were here for, but he didn't think much of it, but when his gaze swept over the corner of one of them, his eyes froze.

Then, his gaze swept swiftly and discreetly over the men's clothes, and without exception he saw the thing he had just noticed.

It was a combination of a geometric figure and a flower, and to the average person it was just a strange pattern, but Norman knew the special meaning - it was the mark of the Chamber of Commerce of Nikhaim!

He designed it himself, and he couldn't be mistaken.

How did the people of Nikhaim suddenly gather here?

Looking at them like this, it is obvious that they have come with a purpose, and their expressions can be called respectful......

Could it be that his identity has been exposed?!

Norman immediately thought of this possibility.

If this is the case, then the behavior and expressions of these Nikhaim people at the moment can be completely explained, after all, they are the founder of Nikhaim, and they are also the saints of the Father's Religion, and they will have such a respectful expression to fully explain.

But how did his identity come to fruition? Could it be that his actions in Douala these days leaked too much information for someone with a heart to accurately capture? But if that was the case, it should have been Stanley's side of the Queen Regent or the Father's side that first collected accurate information, how could it be Nikhaim's side? This is completely impossible to beat......

In just a moment, countless thoughts had flashed through Norman's heart, and countless possibilities had been guessed. But although there are thousands of ravines in his heart, his face is as flat as a tide, without the slightest change of color, and he is extremely calm.

By this time, one of the leading of these Nikahim merchants had already come to them.

"Is it Mr. Hugo?"

This is a fat-headed, big-eared guy with a grinning face that looks harmless to humans and animals.

This sentence alone made all of Norman's thoughts freeze at this moment.

Didn't come to him?

Listen to the name, these people are looking for Ji Ruoxi's fake identity?

Ji Ruoxi is not like Norman, who knows the details of these people in front of him, so he simply nods his head and plays his role well, "It's me." ”

The fat man continued to grin and said, "Great. So, we are merchants of the Nicaheim Chamber of Commerce, and a consignment of goods has been ordered from us, and it is indicated that it will be delivered here, and that Mr. Hugo Houston will sign for it......"

Listening to what the fat man said, Norman's cranky thoughts just now came to an end: it turned out that the materials purchased by Shival had arrived.

He found out when he was in the blacksmith shop yesterday, many of the things in his list, especially in the alchemy material blacksmith shop, he thought that the time was too short, and Xival would not be able to collect it for a while, but now that he looks at it, it is completely a routine played by Xival. How could it be so coincidental that the two weapons that I had just built were handed over, and the materials were in place?

This son of the lord of Aubrey has a lot of eyes.

But it was also good that Norman's heart was relieved - it was not for him.

And after his mind relaxed, he faintly felt a sense of pride: the development route he had formulated for the Nikaheim Chamber of Commerce before was to take books as the main business and breakthrough, and to walk out the route of the Chamber of Commerce first and spread it all over the country. After the route is paved, it will gradually expand its business in other areas with the good reputation accumulated in the book business, and finally become a comprehensive chamber of commerce covering multiple fields.

Now it seems that the Nikahim Chamber of Commerce is on its way down this path, and they are even developing other aspects of the business faster than he expected.

This kind of super-fast development force is also inseparable from the special structure of the Nikaheim Chamber of Commerce, and the special structure of Nikhaim almost binds the entire Nikaheim noble family to the same chariot, and the resources that can be mobilized are naturally far greater than any single-family controlled chamber of commerce. So even though Norman is gone, they can still develop very quickly.

In the end, it was something that he had created with his own hands, which made Norman feel involuntarily cordial when he looked at these merchants of Nikhaheim, and he wanted to ask some news about Nikhaheim on the side, but Lancelot's teachings and past experiences told him that it was wrong to say more, not to say it badly, and a lot of important information was exposed in information that seemed to have no special meaning, so he finally suppressed his thoughts, and just watched these people move things into the shop little by little.

And from here, you can also see Shival's flattering intentions.

Because he had too many secrets, Norman asked Ji Ruoxi to reject the idea of sending servants to serve them, which probably let Xival know that Master Hugo didn't want to be disturbed by idle people, so he didn't make a suggestion to let these people move all the materials in by themselves, but deliberately waited outside, in order to convey his respect for Master Hugo.

The son of the city lord was really careful in the details.

After everything was moved in, the merchants of Nikkaheim did not stay long, and left one after another, and finally closed the door, and only Norman and Guillose were left in the blacksmith shop.

Ji Ruoxi is indeed a qualified actor at the moment, when there is no one around, in just a second, her face immediately pulled down from her previous friendly appearance, and sat to the side, her eyebrows and eyes were full of sorrow, and her eyes were not focused.

She was obviously worried about Chen Qinghe.

Norman was also worried about Chen Qinghe, but because of the effect of "Catching the Sea Heart Sutra", as long as he deliberately dispatched it, this emotion would not affect his concentration on doing some other things.

For example, Refining Mana Pool 2.0.

"Calcium sulfur stone, ironwood chunhua, fiber serpentine 100, oblique green flax ......"

The things brought by the merchants of Nikaheim had been laid out and opened on the side of the room, revealing the contents of the house.

Norman walked slowly in front of these things, his eyes swept over them one by one, and without looking at a single one, he muttered a name out of his mouth.

Delvik's role is vividly displayed here, if it weren't for the experience of working with Delvik, Norman would not have known so much material, and also knew their respective characteristics, functions, etc., of course, the Knights Templar also played a very big role in this.

Most of this knowledge taught by Delvik is something he said casually, and it is not "taught" at all, and most of ordinary people forget what they say, and occasionally some people who have a long memory, even if they barely remember it at the time, have long since forgotten it all, and only Norman, who is backstage in the Knights Templar, can "remember".

This method of "learning" can only be applied by Norman.

After Norman counted all the materials again, Lancelot's voice came to his head.

"Combined with the materials you counted yesterday and the ones you used yesterday, all the inventory here is enough to make two sets of Mana Pool 2.0. ”

In terms of calculations, the Knights Templar were still much stronger than the Normans. The Knights Templar said enough was enough, and that must be enough. As for enough to make two sets, it's because it's prudent to leave room for error, and if both sets are successful, it would be even better, one set would be used like it was used in a mental storm, and the other set could still be used on top.

Anyway, it was Shival who contributed money and efforts, they just had to make a request, and whether they could collect it was all Shival's business.

It's just that Norman found something strange between Lancelot's words.

A?

Norman gestured to Lancelot to express his doubts, and deliberately added an analogy to the measure word "set".

Lancelot hasn't revealed much about Magic Pool 2.0, so he didn't know until now that Magic Pool 2.0 was actually described as a "set".

Could it be that in addition to the materials, Mana Pool 2.0 is different from Mana Pool 1.0 in terms of form?
