Chapter 37: Machines
Standing in front of the alchemy table, Grandin used meditation to empty his brain and stabilize his active spirituality. Only then did he open the tin box.
The contents of the tin box are separated by sawdust and cotton wool.
A bronze mirror, wrapped in vellum paper, shows only four corners.
A lead box, when opened, saw it full of kraft paper.
When Grandin had taken apart all the brown paper, he saw a glass.
It is sealed with a cork. Inside there is a black and white, sea urchin-like sphere.
This is the extraordinary characteristic of the 'lucky ones'!
When he picked up the glass bottle, the sea urchin instantly activated, and the whole thing was attached to the wall of the cup, desperately trying to drill into his body.
The black and white on it mix up and turn into a disorienting gray.
"Is this extraordinary aggregation? Just swallow it, can I upgrade two levels in a row? ”
He looked at the changing characteristics, and his eyes grew obsessed.
"Smack!"
Before the frenzy burned his sanity, Grandin stuffed it back into the lead box and fastened the lid.
In the past, there was no choice in swallowing the characteristics of raw swallowing, but now there is a safer method, of course he has to choose step by step.
What's left in the box is the various materials needed for Sequence 8.
In a brown paper bag is a piece of fish oil that is slightly cool and transparent. A large piece of cold crystal, cushioned on the cotton wool, the weight is absolutely excessive. The brain of the mechanical ape is housed in a separate test tube, which looks like a brass-colored metal chip.
Grandin's workshop was always stocked with pure water, so he didn't bother Lieutenant Colonel Alfred to bring it.
He set up the iron pot and added auxiliary materials, 7 grams of cold crystals that he crushed. Then quickly pour in 70 ml of pure water.
There is a clear distinction between ore and pure water.
But when he put the mechanical ape's brain and fish oil in it, they quickly mixed without him stirring, turning into a sticky, yellow-brown substance.
The air was filled with a pungent smell of ammonia.
Grandin held his breath, trying not to associate it with something else.
After a while, a whirlpool appeared in the iron pot, and the centrifugal force made the pot shake slightly, and Grandin felt that the iron pot had become a washing machine.
The liquid became clearer and clearer, and finally the iron pot was left with only a white potion like snowflakes, which had no smell.
Grantin poured the formed potion into the test tube, which filled the test tube.
"Shouldn't I wash my hands, have a cup of tea, and do some divination?"
Grandin eased his nerves for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he seemed to be able to increase his success rate of drinking potions through the "Numerology Tree"!
The discovery caused his hand holding the tube to shake a little, and the potion spilled out of the tube and flowed down the walls of the tube to his fingers.
In an instant, the whole tube of potion seemed to be pulled down, down his fingers, forearm, upper arm, and neck, all the way up, and finally into his mouth that was open in shock!
Grandin felt his whole being explode, he lost his eyes, and it seemed as if he had eyes all over his body, and groups of numbers appeared on the heads of every object around him.
The numbers on that bronze mirror are especially numerous.
But when his consciousness wanted to touch, he was pulled back into reality, and consciousness returned to his body again.
That's how he became the 'machine' of Sequence 8!
The potion boosted his physical fitness and made his muscles firmer. Spirituality has also been further enhanced.
If there was one unit in the previous spirit, there are 10 units in the current spirit.
But the most exaggerated improvement is his computing power and precise control ability.
He closed his eyes and thought back to Bishop Rosen's punches and the essentials of what he had said.
"Brush!"
Grandin opened his eyes and swung his fist, his quick movements bringing up airflow. His posture and angle are exactly the same as when Bishop Rosen demonstrates!
He continued to punch, kick, and block, tossing and turning in the small space as if he were fighting an unseen enemy.
He's like a computer, gaining the ability to run on multiple threads. He simulates another self in his mind, fighting himself against himself.
"Whew!"
His fist landed precisely in front of the closet, just a millimeter from the cabinet door.
He looked confused, for he suddenly realized that this ability, he had already possessed before he drank the 'machine' potion!
When he was at the Golden Pig Hotel, he was able to do two things. After drinking the potion, that vague feeling was fixed and reduced the consumption of his abilities!
"Is that also your effect on me?"
He asked, looking at the Destiny Insignia on the back of his left hand.
No one in the workshop could answer him.
Grandin didn't sleep well that night, and his spirituality, which had skyrocketed since his promotion, was now extremely active. In his sleep, he suddenly saw a black cross erected and a figure hanging upside down.
A voice came:
“…… Trading ......"
He woke up suddenly, his chest as if he was being crushed by a boulder, and he couldn't breathe. But the dream just now was like confetti in a shredder, and it didn't take long for it to disappear from his mind.
"Strange, how did I wake up?"
……
At breakfast on Friday, Cosette kept staring at him.
"What's wrong?"
Grandin drank oatmeal with a strange expression.
"Sir, you seem to be a little different today." After Cosette finished speaking, she looked at him carefully, "When I see my husband today, I always think of the alarm clock that wakes me up every day. ”
"It's an overflow of potion power, and it'll be fine after a while."
Grandin thought to himself.
"Probably because of the small glass of wine last night, the fruit wine has quite a lot of stamina."
He wiped his mouth with a napkin and explained.
"Hmm."
Cosette accepted this statement thoughtfully.
In order to prevent the 'little maid' from thinking about it, Grandin had to find her some work. For example, ask her to help deliver her business card to Earl Hall's mansion.
In order to fulfill Lieutenant Colonel Alfred's commission, he needed to be received by Earl Hall.
When he was promoted yesterday, the vision he saw had already made him understand the extraordinary thing about that bronze mirror. He recalled it a little, and he remembered the role of this bronze mirror.
Isn't this the ticket for Miss Justice in the future?
"Hopefully Alfred mentioned me as a friend in his letter home. If the key props can't be delivered, then the fun will be great. ”
He thought so and drank the last bite of oatmeal.
Because he woke up too late today, he didn't go to the 'Beckland Sewage Treatment Center' first, but chose to take a horse-drawn carriage directly to St. Samuel's Cathedral.
While in the carriage, he was already adjusting to his condition, rehearsing various martial arts moves and coping methods.
He waited from April when the daffodils were in full bloom to today, and just today, his revenge should be avenged!
