Luke, Dale, Fast Legs, and Alice get out of the car, and the stench on her face makes Dale hide her nose.

Alice, who had been prepared for a long time, handed out air filter masks and said, "This is a sewage reservoir, and the smell is very bad. You bigwigs from Angry Waves don't like it, and it's a little better to wear this. ”

Daile put on her mask, and the unpleasant smell finally disappeared: "I almost passed out just now. Not only does it smell bad, but there are also strong toxins in it. ”

Luke also put on his mask and said: "Chemicals and alchemy are fermented in the sewage reservoir, which will produce a large amount of toxic substances, and the people here are simply using their lives to make money." ”

Born in Downtown, Quickleg said: "Working here is already a good thing that most Downtown residents dream of. ”

At this moment old Adrien came with his people, and the strange man's delicate clothing kept them from moving.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... This is private territory, please leave as soon as possible. ”

Luke pulled out a gold coupon from his coat pocket: "We are merchants from the City of Angry Waves, and we want to visit the famous Lower Town Sewage Reservoir. You seem to be in some trouble here and should need this money. ”

Luke looked at old Adrien and smiled.

Old Adrien was a burly man, with chestnut hair and beard tied together like a lion. His sons and hired hands were all the same size, as tall and strong as the Vikings.

Having a refining workshop in the sewage reservoir cannot be defended without considerable strength.

Faced with a golden ticket, Old Adrien hesitated for a moment but took it.

A gold coupon can be exchanged for 5,000 Reichsmarks, and his own refining workshop is producing 24 hours a day, and he can't make so much money.

Besides, the factory was destroyed like this, and it was impossible to produce it even if it wanted to.

Old Adrien identified the authenticity of the gold coupon, and then put it in his underwear pocket seriously: "I don't know what is there to visit in the sewage reservoir, but since you want to see it, then look at it." But you have to be with me, for you outsiders, the cesspool is very, very dangerous. ”

"Protecting us is one of the reasons why I'm willing to pay so much money."

The elder Adrien told his son and his hired men to continue their work, and he led Luke around the factory and from the side to the edge of the sewage reservoir.

Because of the construction of the factory, this section of the waterfront has been reinforced. Several long pipes protrude from the back of the plant and sink underwater, some of which absorb the bottom silt, and some of which re-remove the refined silt.

When the workshop began production, a steam-powered auger bit was lowered to the bottom of the water to stir up the sludge for easy suction.

Due to the attack of monsters in the reservoir last night, the workshop of the elder Adrien collapsed and had to stop production.

And the nearby refining workshop has already started.

The already black sewage was stirred up even more turbid, and from time to time large bubbles with color bubbles emerged from under the water. When the bubble bursts, the gas inside does not disperse, but floats on the surface of the water in a cloud of mist.

Old Adrien followed Luke to the edge of the reservoir and said, "There's really nothing to see here. If a newcomer is not in good health, he will definitely get a serious illness when he goes back.

And those colored fogs, which look good but are very deadly. Those are the mysterious energies generated by the combination of underwater mysterious items, and if they are glued, there is a high chance that something bad will happen.

After these mysterious energies are dispersed, they will still slowly cause the physical mutations of the people around them, whether it is good or bad, it is also a gamble. I'm 60 years old now, but I'm still in my 30s.

But my sons...... Ten of them, and only three were alive at the end. ”

Luke pulled out his binoculars and looked at the water, and casually chatted, "I can see that they are as strong as you." It's not just strong, you and they are both very strong fighters.

And your hired men, I've heard they all respect you, and you're going to get through this. ”

Old Adrien looked at the collapsed factory building next to him, and couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly: "In this era, what's the use of having empty energy?" I sent all my grandchildren to Uptown, where they went to school, and never to go back to it.

But, I'm afraid I'll find it hard to pay for them anymore. ”

Old Adrian's words were full of helplessness, whether he could keep this workshop was unknown, how could he continue his dream.

Without money, the grandchildren had to go back to Downtown; Without the workshop, they would not be able to leave here for generations.

"I'm sure there's a way......" Luke put away the binoculars and threw them to the fast legs, and then said to old Adrian, "I want to go rowing in the reservoir and lend me your boat for a while." ”

Not far away is a small boat parked for the workshop to overhaul underwater equipment.

Luke's request was immediately rejected by Old Adrian: "The cesspool is very dangerous, not only with those deadly mysterious energies, but also with many monsters hidden underwater.

Stranger, the sewage reservoir is not a scenic spot. I don't care what your purpose is, please don't joke with your life. ”

Luke took out a few large Imperial Marks: "I am responsible for my life, and it has nothing to do with you if anything happens."

I went aboard with my retinue, and my lady and Miss Alice remained on shore. Rest assured, I know how to protect myself. ”

The elder Adrien eventually bowed to money.

After Luke and the fast legs rowed towards the deep water, old Adrien asked Alice, "Miss Alice, who is this gentleman?" Didn't you tell him where the cesspool was? ”

Alice was surprised and said, "Old Adrian...... You don't even know this gentleman? Gosh, did your head get knocked out by the machine?

It was Mr. Luke, a wealthy merchant from the City of Angry Waves, very, very rich. ”

"How rich?"

"Last evening, I accompanied Mr. Luke and Mr. Malcoln to sign an investment contract. The total investment amount is 50 million Reichsmarks, and the first 10 million Reichsmarks have already been paid. ”

Old Adrien was already dumbfounded, he couldn't believe that such a rich businessman would appear here, and ...... Took a boat into the sewage reservoir.

At this time, Daile looked at the ship that was getting farther and farther away, and muttered, "It's just 50 million Reichsmarks, what's all the fuss." ”

Old Adrien looked at Dale again, and his eyes became extremely sharp. Alice immediately reminded the elder Adrien not to try to kidnap them...... It's going to die!

In the cesspool, Luke lets the fast-legged rower approach a cloud of purple mist.

The fast legs shook the oar and looked around vigilantly, and reminded Luke, "Sir...... There are very dangerous monsters inside this cesspool. Whatever you want, let me do it. ”

Luke stared at the approaching purple haze and pulled a balloon out of his coat pocket. "Old Adrian's workshop is not in operation, and the monsters in this neighborhood are all gathered under the water, so as long as we don't make too much noise, there will be no danger.

Slow down and don't bump into mystical energy. ”

"Yes, sir."

The ship's speed slows down, and Luke opens the balloon's mouth to aim at the purple haze.

The balloon has been crafted into a mysterious prop by Luke, and after entering a certain distance, a wind blows up and pours purple mist into the balloon. The balloon inflated and grew larger, and after sucking all the purple mist in, Luke quickly sealed it with a rope.

Successfully collected a mysterious energy.

Luke redirected his fast legs and drove towards a cloud of yellow mystical energy.

Soon the mysterious yellow energy was contained in the balloon.

No one knows what Luke is doing.

After a few more moments, Luke gathered five different mystical energies before he allowed the fast-legged rower to land.

Luke grabbed five balloons and asked Old Adrian, "Can you use the alchemy house here?" ”

Old Adrien knew that such a rich man could not be provoked by himself, so he dismissed the idea of kidnapping on the spur of the moment.

"Yes, it's far from the waterfront and it's not damaged. But the equipment and materials in the alchemy room are very expensive, and I am usually reluctant to use them. ”

Luke replied, "Money, it's not a problem with me. Take me and I'll see if I can make what I want. ”

Old Adrien led Luke to the alchemy house and reminded, "Hold on to the balloons, if they burst, we may all die." ”

"Then you have to hurry."

Old Adrien took Luke to the Workshop's alchemy room, which doubled as a maintenance room, where a thin, half-grown boy was repairing a machine. The room was filthy and messy, and Luke left the others outside and closed the door.

"Ed, this gentleman is going to use the tools here for an alchemy, and you are his assistant to find out what the gentleman wants." Old Adrien turned to Luke and said, "This is Eddard, my repairman here, who knows a little bit about alchemy. ”

Luke looked at Ed as if he were looking at a treasure. This is not just a little bit of alchemy, and in the future he will make you the uncrowned king of the lower city.

"Ed, my name is Luke, and I'm going to borrow this place for an alchemy experiment. Prepare five flasks for me first...... Be clean! ”

"Yes, sir, I'll prepare it for you at once. cough cough cough ......"

Luke's clothing and bearing made Ed nervous, and he immediately panicked to find the flask, and in panic he coughed violently.

Old Adrien couldn't help but shake his head: "Ed is the only remaining son of an old fellow of mine, but looking at his situation, it is estimated that he will not survive this winter." He was a good boy and very smart. ”

Luke replied, "I can see it, but I think he could have lived longer." ”

"Probably...... I always predicted that he wouldn't survive the winter, but he survived every year. ”

Ed quickly retrieved five beakers, and Luke used arcane techniques to pack the mystical energy he had collected into the beakers.

Looking at the mysterious energy flowing inside the beaker, Ed's eyes lit up instantly.

"This is the mysterious energy mass inside the cesspool, are you going to use alchemy to combine them? I've always had this idea, but these things are too dangerous for me. ”

"Yes, this thing is too dangerous for anyone, and developing a new secret technique is a gamble." Luke said pointedly, "Fortunately, someone helped me develop this secret technique, and many more people perfected it.

There are copper powder, hemostatic grass seeds, embryo serum, ......"

Luke read out a long list of alchemical materials.

Ed said they were all and found them one by one.

Armed with alchemy equipment and alchemy materials, Luke begins to repeat the alchemy experiments he has performed countless times in the game.

Ed's greatest achievement in this life is to use the mysterious energy mass born in the sewage reservoir to refine the first-generation mysterious substance mixture through alchemy.

Those who inject a mixture of mystical substances will be affected by the mystical energy to activate extraordinary abilities.

Due to the uncertainty of the first generation of the Mystic Species Mixture, which evokes supernatural abilities, it is nicknamed the "Blind Box" by players.

I don't know what abilities I will gain after one shot, but players have developed a lot of interesting games based on this.

It's just that after Ed developed the first generation of a mysterious substance concoction to save his own life, he stopped the development of subsequent concoctions. He knew that he had won one gamble, and he might not win next time.

As a result, the subsequent development of the mysterious substance mixture fell into the hands of the player.

Just as the language of arcane art was developed, the same mystical mixture of substances is constantly being perfected in the player's spirit.

Now Luke is making the first generation of mystical substance mixtures, which Ed developed using the rudimentary equipment and materials here, so there is no need to worry about the materials needed to craft the mixture.

After the three-hour alchemy experiment was completed, a tube of black-purple reagent with a sense of evil was refined.

The reagent made Ed a little frightened, and made Old Adrian very curious.

"Mr. Luke, what is this? Is it worth risking your life to make it yourself? ”

"Want to know what it is? Very simple! ”

Luke took out a needle and pulled out a fifth of the reagent, grabbed Ed again, and without waiting for the elder Adrien to react, a needle was plunged into Ed's heart.

"Mr. Luke!" The elder Adrien wanted to attack Luke, but he was afraid of hurting Ed's life, so he could only watch as a needle of black and purple liquid was pushed into Ed's heart.

The needle is withdrawn, and Ed faints to the ground.

Luke glanced at the overwhelmed old Adrien and placed the rest of the reagents on the table.

"I'm going to see Mr. Edmund Neill now to discuss investing in his refinery. But I know Mr. Neil is very, very greedy, and I want to see his head tonight.

The first generation of mystical mixtures has been taught to Ed, and you're right, he's a very smart kid.

You also have a few very smart grandchildren who deserve a better education and life. Your workshop, even if it is in good condition, is too small for them.

I'll wait for you! ”

Luke patted Old Adrien on the shoulder and walked out of the alchemy house, and soon the sound of cars starting and leaving could be heard outside.

Old Adrien stood there dumbfounded, staring at the tube on the table, unable to understand what Luke meant by what he said.

Suddenly, Ed on the ground twitched violently. His bones crackled, and his mouth let out a heart-rending scream. His body grew larger, and his shriveled muscles swelled like balloons.
