Chapter 500: Essence of the Sacred Tree
"Are you thinking I can't count?" Lukka said, glaring at Phil and gritting his teeth.
"Oh, don't be so fierce, I'm not taking it for nothing," said Phil, "you see, I'm not poor and white, it's only a few hundred thousand silver coins, and it's not as good as a day's running water back to Sailing Harbor." I'll pay you directly from Sunset Express's account when I go back. ”
He was so generous, Luca was puzzled, squinted at him and said, "No, you must have made some invisible deal with this tree behind my back." ”
"Where?" said Phil smirked, taking a step back, showing the degree of weakness in his heart.
The mage's hand in front of him immediately grabbed the hem of his robe, and Lukka took the staff and said, "You better recruit it yourself, save me the effort." ”
"Don't get excited, I said it's not okay?" Phil was completely unable to resist under the attack of the hands of the two mages, so he could only raise his hand and surrender, "Actually, this is the alchemist's business, and it has nothing to do with the mage, I didn't mean to hide it from you." ”
"Alchemy has nothing to do with me, that box of silver coins has something to do with me. Luca said.
"Okay, okay," Phil pulled out a glass bottle from his pocket, containing a pale green viscous liquid, "this thing, it's the essence of this tree, and if I can cure it, she'll promise to give me one bottle every month." ”
"What's the use of this? It's worth the hundreds of thousands of silver you spend. Lukka noticed that the liquid was a little familiar, took the bottle and shook it, and was even more sure that this was the form of the sweet potato that was used as a medium when the spell was cast a few days ago.
"The seawater here is only able to maintain its current state because it dissolves this essence. Phil said.
"Why, are you going to sweep away the boiling sea? This small bottle for a month is not enough. Lukka found a chair and sat down. Since Phil promised compensation, he was not in such a hurry.
"Of course not, do you remember when I told you how Linde was born?" Phil finally broke free from the mage's grasp and sat down next to him.
"In the lab?" Lukka only remembered.
"Using the embryo of a human being, fused with the ingredients of giants. Thea remembers it well.
"Yes, exactly. However, the point is that at that time, Hall, the Divine Stick of the Void, brought a bottle of original liquid, which I later adjusted to become the stable 'dissociation-fusion medium'. Phil said.
"Well, I have an impression of this tongue-twisting medium. Lukka nodded.
"You know, with the current technology, if you want to extract the biological information of the giant, let alone fuse it with other embryos, as long as you leave it for a few minutes, it will definitely fail. "But this 'dissociation-fusion medium' can keep any biological information kept alive." ”
Lukka threw the glass bottle in his hand in the air and borrowed it with his hand, causing Phil to keep reaching out to protect it, for fear that he would break the bottle.
"Do you think that tongue-twister has anything to do with this kind of thing?" asked Luca.
"I don't think so, but I've analyzed the composition of the Sacred Tree Essence and come to the conclusion that the dissociation-fusion medium is a diluted solution of the Sacred Tree Essence, and it's not fresh, so it's brown, not green. Phil said.
"Wait, what do you want this thing for, you want to make more fusion creatures?" Lukka looked at Phil in front of him, and suddenly equated his image with that of a mad scientist.
When he looked at it like this, the movement of his hand slowed down a little, and the glass bottle failed to catch steadily, and fell to the ground with a "pop" and shattered.
"Ahh Although the essence of the sacred tree was viscous, it was liquid after all, and it soon seeped into the dirt completely, and there was no chance to save him.
"My money!" Phil cried out with a crying voice, "No, my solvent!"
"Don't cry, what do you want this thing for?" Lukka asked.
Phil stood up, patted the dirt on his body and said, "Actually, I haven't thought about it yet." Anyway, this thing is rare, don't worry, I have no intention of creating a monster army!"
"Really?" Lukka stared into his eyes.
"At least not yet. Phil was furious at his sight.
"Well, you look like you're still ten years old, but we know you're old enough to take responsibility for your actions. Lukka said, pulling out an identical glass bottle from his pocket and handing it to him, "There's only a fine line between madness and genius, and I'm sure you can take it." ”
"Eh, didn't it shatter?" Phil looked down at the ground, but in the blink of an eye, all traces of broken glass and liquid on the ground were gone.
"The one that broke was just an illusion trick, and I'm just making fun of you. Lukka laughed and said, "But how did you find out that this tree had such a thing?
"It was Crete who saw it, and he said that there were some points of light in the core of the sacred tree that he couldn't see, so I went to test it," said Phil, "and I'm going to inspect the tree anyway." ”
"That's right. Lukka nodded, and then suddenly remembered what he was doing. "Oh, by the way, about the silver coins you owe me. ”
"As soon as the Fallback Islands come to the Sun, I'll let the courier send it to you, or, you can go to any courier point to pick it up, and I'll write you a withdrawal voucher. "Phil is now the owner of Sunset Express, and he has long been wealthy.
Lukka shook his head: "Far water can't quench your thirst." ”
"What then? I can't get the money over here. Phil scratched his head.
"The solution is already on the way. Lukka turned and pointed to the calm sea.
Phil looked in the direction of his finger, and on the horizon, a three-masted galleon appeared.
"It's a passing boat? It's so small, it's estimated that it's very far, and it will take half a month to drive over this kind of sea, to say the least. He asked.
"No, it's not too far, it's just that the ship is smaller. Lukka said with a smile.
"I'll take a look!" Thea shouted, and soared into the air, turning into a silver dragon and flying towards the ship.
"She's getting less and less low-key. Lukka sighed.
"Not only is it not low-key, but in the past few days that you have been in the captain's room, she has flown out like this three times. Phil said. "Besides, don't you think that her dragon form has grown half a meter longer than before we came to the boiling sea?"
Maybe it's because she has returned to her birthplace, Thea's growth rate is getting faster and faster, but the human form has not changed, but the length of the dragon form is close to five meters, and it seems that she can get out of the range of the young dragon.
"The garrisons didn't say anything?" Lukka looked back at the tree tower, and the wood elves inside didn't react.
