Volume 1, Chapter 57: Elixir of Time
Mick was wearing a set of moon-white ** robes, the second-level magic alchemist badge on his chest was full of gold, his blonde hair was neatly combed, and his warm and warm smile made people feel good.
The humble layout and deserted venue of the conference did not seem to have much of an impact on him, his opening remarks were simple and enthusiastic, without the various testimonials of other alchemists, and there was no tirade about the background of the work, just a brief introduction to the guests, and then cut to the theme of today.
This concise and cheerful style made the guests feel very different, because some of the gloom caused by the desertion or poor decoration of the venue dissipated most of it.
"For this press conference, I will release three works, and I believe that they will satisfy all the guests present. ”
Mick's voice echoed through the small presentation room, as the staff moved a beautifully crafted locket onto the display stand.
The box was only the size of a fist, the shape was extremely simple, but the material was very special, under the illumination of the magic light, the surface of the box was brilliant and colorful, like a flawless gem, dazzling.
The beautiful box instantly aroused the curiosity of all the guests, especially the aristocratic ladies who had a special preference for jewelry, and they even stared at each other, wondering what would happen if this box was made into jewelry.
For this opening, Mick took a lot of work. This box was actually just an ordinary glass box, but after he engraved it with six different colors of light magic array, he obtained such a brilliant effect.
Seeing that the carefully prepared little gimmick met expectations, Mick smiled slightly and said loudly: "Then, let me introduce my first work to you now, Time Elixir!"
With that, a dazzling magical glow flashed on Mick's left hand, and the exquisite box immediately cracked into strips and opened downward, like a flower blooming, revealing the essence on the stamen.
The few magic spotlights immediately shone on the center of the box, and the magic light on the box flickered like a colorful cloud, holding an angel-shaped crystal vial in the center, and the holy and mysterious aura came to the face, as if an angel had really descended on the earth.
"Wow......" The guests let out an exclamation of exclamation, and couldn't help but stretch their necks and try to look ahead.
Mick's little tricks on the exterior of the work are dazzling enough, but what really struck the guests was the potion itself contained in the crystal bottle.
In the angel-shaped crystal bottle, there was a large half bottle of thick dark blue elixir, and a little starlight in the elixir was churning up and down, like the moon in the sky, holding a handful of quiet starry sky and putting it into this angel vial.
The beauty and mystery of it are fascinating, and before you know it, you can expect a little more from the effects of the potion, and even if you put aside the effects of the potion, the beauty of this difference alone is amazing.
"Ladies and gentlemen. This is the first work I want to introduce to you, the Elixir of Time! It can make people temporarily free from the shackles of time and return to the beautiful years of youth. ”
Mick's voice suddenly broke everyone's reverie, but like a boulder falling into the water, it immediately made a louder noise.
"What?"
"Return to your youth, Mr. Mick, what do you mean by that?"
"Yes, have you given it the power that only gods have?"
The few men here are okay, most of them are from military backgrounds, and they are not interested in gimmicks such as rejuvenation.
But the ladies are different, especially the ladies who are attending with Lady Hannah today are all more famous ladies in the aristocratic circle, most of them are not young, and their memories of youth are increasing day by day, Mick's words are like a fifteenth-level magic forbidden spell, which immediately exploded in their hearts.
Mick pressed his hand slightly, signaled for the venue to be quiet for a moment, and then explained with a smile: "Control time, that is the power of the gods, but this bottle of time potion can indeed rejuvenate people, but not to make people really rejuvenated, but to temporarily make people look younger." ”
Mick's explanation extinguishes the illusions, but even the fact that they just look younger is enough to make their hearts flutter.
For women, as long as they are young and beautiful, no one cares whether they are real or fake, otherwise all kinds of expensive cosmetics will not be popular.
Hearing this, the Marquise Nolia in the second row immediately got up, complained to the surrounding ladies, and hurriedly walked outside the press conference hall.
"Nolia, now is the most attractive time, why are you leaving?" asked the handkerchief sitting beside her, surprised.
Lady Nolia looked left and right to make sure that no one was paying attention, and then whispered in her ear: "I am not leaving, but I want to send a magic message to my sisters, if this potion is really so good, and I don't inform them, I will definitely be blamed." ”
"Oh, that's ......," the handkerchief snapped for a moment, and then whispered, "You're right, I'll have to send a message to the sisters." ”
With that, the two of them quietly got up and sneaked out of the hall.
Almost no one noticed the episode, and everyone's eyes hit the angel vial in Mick's hand.
Mick smiled politely and warmly, and said confidently, "Then, in order to confirm the effect of the Elixir of Time, I would like to ask a lady of high status to try it for herself." ”
The audience immediately fell silent, although everyone was full of expectations for the bottle of potion, but after all, it was still an unproven test product, and the risk of trying it was very high, and no one wanted to joke with their beauty or even their lives.
There was only one exception, and that was General Fritz, who already had a lot of confidence in Mick, and when he heard Mick's request, he immediately gave Mrs. Hannah a look to his side.
Hannah knew that her husband admired the young alchemist very much, and when she returned from the Victory Palace that night, Fritz talked excitedly about the mysterious piece of equipment and talked excitedly until dawn.
Fritz has always been calm, and the person who can move him so much will never be a parallel import.
Lady Hannah almost didn't hesitate, immediately stood up, and in the surprised eyes of the audience, said gracefully, "Mr. Mick, I have this privilege to be the first to try out your work?"
"Of course!" Mick was worried about the lack of a trial, and he was overjoyed to see that Lady Hannah took the initiative to ask for help.
Lady Hannah went backstage to remove her makeup, accompanied by a waiter, and returned to the display two minutes later.
Lady Hannah, who is over sixty years old, has already bid farewell to her youth, and her face has been deeply engraved by time, and she is even more old after removing her makeup, which makes the ladies sigh.
Mick took out a special long-rod cotton ball, slipped it into the crystal bottle and dipped it in a small potion, then gently applied the potion to Lady Hannah's face.
He applied it evenly and didn't miss a single detail. As Mick's cotton ball rolled, a faint magical glow slowly flashed on Lady Hannah's face.
When the light went out, the hall immediately erupted in screams!
