If Flick hadn't suspected William Coulter, it would be completely impossible, especially when he had taken a copy of the red liquid and caused physical problems. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Dr. Kurt claims that Frick sees hallucinations because he has a certain level of "visual illusion" ability. His blood already had some kind of catalytic effect, and under the stimulation of the potion, it showed the power that was only a little superficial.

There are many magicians with visionary powers, just as they are almost always able to use the power of incense and potions to bring themselves into the world of dreams. These two abilities are the foundation for stepping into the spiritual world, but possessing only one of them is not enough to enter the deeper spiritual realm.

Dr. Coulter had made many attempts before Frick took part in the experiment, but each time he got lost as he was about to traverse the dense fog that surrounded the shallow depths.

At the time, they were using a large, computationally complex technique with a large number of mages involved, and the slightest glitch could have catastrophic consequences. The mage who entered the spiritual world lost the protection of his magic, and a part of his soul was eroded by abnormal magic, and some of his assistants who maintained the operation of the technique in reality were also involved in the out-of-control operation of the technique, and were injured to varying degrees.

During the post-mortem investigation, Kurt spent a lot of effort to find the cause of the anomaly - the personnel responsible for maintaining the operation of the spells in different areas did not have the ability to maintain the overall spell alone, and their magic power did not fully cooperate, which ultimately led to the ineffective operation of the spell.

In other words, it was because Frick "just happened" to have both powers that William Kurt chose him as the driver of the core of the technique. And he didn't know that Frick had this ability at first, and just wanted him to experience what it was like to enter the spirit world as a scrivener.

"You once told me about your assistance to him, and maybe it was a chance that he first found you, but what he saw in that experiment changed the flavor of this 'accident'. ”

Seeing Frick wavering, Acully continued: "I don't know where the original recipe for the potion you were given came from, but William Coulter definitely didn't make it up on his own. They do have a very similar effect to the legendary 'Red Potion', and they also have a strong catalytic effect - in fact, if he wanted to, no one would doubt that they were the 'Red Potion', because the effects of this potion can only be described as amazing. ”

Many of the sorcerers who sought to divide William Coulter's legacy had their eyes on the potion's recipe, and at one point they thought Dr. Coulter would hide it in the most hidden places. However, after several days of searching through all the documents and materials, they could not find any relevant records.

No recipes, no records, no trial process...... It can almost be said that there is nothing, and the only thing left is the sealed potion in the tube. Either they hadn't found the safe where the information was stored, or Kurt had destroyed all the records before then.

Although they tried to extract some of the potions to analyze what materials were used, the project required a lot of manpower and material resources, and it may not be successful. What's more, they were afraid to casually study these remaining elixirs and bury the last bit of clue in the dark.

Looking at the sorcerers with evil intentions, Acully didn't tell them her guess - she suspected that Dr. Kurt didn't make these imitations through her own research, but probably with the help of some external force to finally create a replica of the "Red Potion".

Countless alchemists throughout history have tried to create this potion, and there are some who claim to be successful. But it's not really known what the real "red potion" looks like - because it exists almost exclusively in legends, and no one has ever actually drunk it.

Whatever the true effect of this potion is, it has become a myth in its own right, and is regarded as the apex of alchemy. Although the mainstream schools of alchemy have seen it as the story of people's quest for a panacea, there is nothing to stop its successors from studying it.

After all, the legendary "Red Elixir" is an all-powerful elixir that can cure all diseases and even save the dying. Compared to normal people, they would wonder if this medicine really exists, but the pursuit of a way to make a universal medicine seems to have become an eternal topic in the alchemy world.

Of course, the potion that William Coulter brought out was only a copy, and although it had great power, it inevitably affected the physical condition of the person who took it. Obviously, Frick's ability to go from seeing hallucinations deteriorate from the time he first saw them to the troubles of awakening.

But the big question is whether William Coulter knew that taking these drugs would have irreversible effects on the human body...... And would he have let Frick take a large amount of it knowing that it had such side effects, and hoped that his newly awakened abilities would work in the experiment.

"What I'm going to say next, then, is just a matter of malicious speculation, and at best a possibility that I've pieced together some of the pieces I've collected before I have been able to see the big picture, and there's no guarantee that they're facts. ”

Akuli gathered the information in front of him, arranged them in some order, and then said to Frick, "First of all, according to the information I have gathered, the northern region is really only the periphery of their sphere of influence, but that group has been operating in the north for a long time. William Kurt was one of the many sorcerers they supported, and in addition to being a sorcerer, they often helped people such as adventurers or mercenaries in exchange for their services. ”

There was little trace of their actions, but Aculi was able to deduce clues from the information gathered. It is a large, secret organization, and on the surface, this group appears to be harmless, and in most cases they are only providing assistance to unspecified targets.

The number of people who can get their help is quite small, and their achievements are not necessarily remarkable - in fact, they prefer to find adventurers who are not well-known but have good prowess or mages who think they are not talented, rather than experts who are famous in some way.

Those who come to their aid soon find remarkable success, adventurers find amazing treasures, and mages achieve excellent results in their research. And as if the talents that were originally hidden in the body have awakened, these people tend to show wonderful specialties in some aspects.

-- The problem is that they didn't end up doing very well.

"Perhaps it should be said that the people we have been able to identify at this time who have been associated with this organization and achieved amazing things, whether adventurers or mages, have either disappeared or made the death list. Aculi smiled as if mockingly, "Of course, it doesn't have to be a curse-like legend that 'no one who has ever been aided by them has ended well', but a more realistic conclusion that 'we know that those who have been associated with this group have suffered misfortunes.'" ”

While it doesn't sound like a big difference, in reality they are two completely opposite possibilities. Although Aculi didn't say it directly, she probably wanted to express that those who accidentally revealed their connection to the organization had been dealt with by them.

A secret is a secret only if it is not known, and I am afraid that only the dead can keep it thoroughly. A person who has mastered some knowledge that is considered forbidden through "secrets" will inevitably be swallowed up by secrets if he wants to expose it out of fear of the very existence of the knowledge.

Frick once again remembered the men in black he had encountered in the depths of the spirit world, who had apparently known William Kurt for a long time. Perhaps Dr. Kurt obtained their help through some kind of condition to explore the spiritual world so smoothly.

There was supposed to be some kind of pact between them, but William Coulter, whose body and soul had been poisoned by the anomalous magic of the deep spiritual world, turned his back on it in order to explore it further. So they chased them to the deep spiritual realm, and intercepted William Kuhl in front of the Silver Gate.

And not only Dr. Coulter, but the men in black were not even going to spare others who had participated in William Coulter's experiments in the spirit world. If Frick hadn't escaped from that world for some reason, he would have been a living dead with a nowhere to be found, just like the other magicians.

But the question is, will those people sit back and watch him escape? Flick shook his head, banishing the naïve and meaningless idea out of his brain. Before Frick encountered them at the Silver Gate, his information was already in the hands of the other party, and they did not hesitate to restrain him.

The sense of emptiness caused by that strange artifact still lingers on Frick, and the after-effects of that strange experience will probably not fade easily for years to come. There is no doubt that those people have such terrible magical artifacts in their hands, and they don't care about killing one or two people.

"There are a few things I have to tell you - first, I think you should be mentally prepared, based on what happened before, those guys will not easily let you live knowing that they exist, and you may be in danger of your life for a long time to come. ”

After giving the warning, Acully took a light breath and threw a speech at Frick that sounded like a bomb to him.

"Second, it's highly likely that your father had an encounter with them before he disappeared, and it's likely that he chose to embark on an adventure in Jungbei because he was commissioned by this organization. ”
