Expensive.

And it's not generally expensive.

Yi Chen's salary for a few months in the cemetery plus a special bonus was more than a hundred silver coins, and the cheapest kerosene lamp here cost 500 silver coins.

But it has to be said.

The kerosene lamps sold here are quite good,

The size is minimized while maintaining the lighting characteristics, and no matter how it shakes, it will not affect the combustion inside.

Both the barrel and base are made of impact-resistant materials, and some expensive kerosene lamps are even engraved with defensive mystical runes that greatly reduce the chance of damage during combat.

Then

Edmund walked out of the shop's special cubicle, carrying a special kerosene lamp in his hand.

"William, what do you think of this! It feels like it's right for you. ”

Edmund chose a kerosene lamp with a predominantly black color with a specimen of a crow standing on top of the tube.

The crow's corpse has been specially treated and filled with a special material that is hard and flexible, and never decays.

It is worth noting that

The crow's eyeballs were replaced with two unique rubies, giving the dead crow an eerie sense of vividness.

Other than that

The opening for the replacement of fuel is specially designed in the style of a 'black-framed wooden door', making the kerosene lamp resemble a private cabin, with a bonfire burning inside shining through the windows to illuminate the outside world.

The waiter in the store enthusiastically introduced as if he had met a big customer:

"The kerosene lamp in your hand is called The-Crow-Night, and this kerosene lamp is inspired by Mr. Poe's The Crow.

It was created by the store's senior lightmaker, Gnom.

Flexible glass and imprinted with 'Runes of Toughness',

The lampholders, handles, and various metal decorations are all taken from the cold iron of the cemetery for more than ten years.

We will also provide free replacement of long-lasting fuel in perpetuity.

Sold for 4,800 credits. ”

Edmund frowned slightly, "It's a little expensive~ William, how do you feel?" ”

"It's too expensive, let's go look at it elsewhere."

"Okay."

Yi Chen left decisively, such a sum of money was not something he could afford at all, and the team members also left one after another when they saw this.

Edmund was just a little slower, and when he walked out, he had an extra handbag with a delicate packaging and the Flame logo.

A step landed beside Yi Chen, and he hung the handbag on his wrist.

Packed in the tote bag was a kerosene lamp decorated by a crow.

"Huh!?"

"William, since you came out of the cemetery, you have been resting in the academy, and you shouldn't have much money on you...... That's just two months of living expenses for me.

Once we successfully complete the difficult tasks above three stars, we will naturally be rewarded with generous silver coins.

Since I purchased it subjectively, I'm not sure if this kerosene lamp is what you want.

If you really want to pay back, just wait until the task is completed and give me half of it. ”

Seeing Edmund's sincerity,

At the same time, considering the upcoming difficult gentleman's task, Yi Chen finally accepted it.

"Thank you."

Yi Chen took out the kerosene lamp from between the handbags,

The lightness and comfort in the hand is beyond imagination, as if holding on the soft surface of a bird's body, soft and comfortable.

At the same time, this dark style kerosene lamp is also in line with Yi Chen's overall temperament.

Edmund had already pulled away at this time and looked at Yi Chen's whole body.

"I was right, this kerosene lamp is made for you.

By the way, William, do you want to deal with this [long black hair]? While it also fits the temperament of your graveyard out of the graveyard, this long hair may be a drag in battle. ”

"Long hair?"

Yi Chen touched his shoulder-length hair that grew quickly during the recovery period of his physique, he didn't reject it, and even liked it a little.

Almost all of the life stages before life were short hair,

But now, he was eager to try this longer hairstyle. Maybe it has something to do with the change in the body, and I want to change it myself.

And these long hairs are also equivalent to 'recording' this special half a year, which has a certain commemorative significance.

"It feels good like this, it doesn't need to be trimmed."

"It's better like this~ Let Anna help you tie it up, so that it is suitable for battle and can keep this long hair, try it."

At Edmund's instigation, Yi Chen agreed.

With Yuliana a pass skillful operation.

retains the bangs and temples, and there is a centered ball head tied in the back, and the whole person is immediately refreshed.

"Hmm~ That's good! This hairstyle is right for you...... By the way, do you want to change your weapon? ”

Edmund's posture seemed to be preparing for a 'big renovation' for Yi Chen.

"No, this axe is pretty easy to use."

"Well, the workmanship is good, but it's only in the category of basic equipment.

If we can get the Sickness Crystals or some more precious materials on this mission, you can use them to craft even more handy weapons when we return to the city.

The weapons used to hunt the sick are as important as our limbs. ”

"Hmm."

……

I have to say,

The family behind Edmund was so wealthy that they even built a mansion in Zion.

Afterwards, he took everyone to a day's feast and enjoyed a full-body massage before the war.

After a day of recuperation, both physical and mental adjustments were at the highest, and the next morning went to the [Gentleman's Hall] to submit the task execution letter.

A high-end carriage directly under the organization was also waiting for everyone at the entrance of the hall

Compared with the carriage that Yi Chen rode before, it was several grades higher...... Horses that have been improved by species are selected to have several times higher physical fitness than ordinary horses, and have the characteristics of disease resistance and self-healing.

Even feather-like musculature can be seen on the sides of the horse's body.

The carriage with partition windows and closed curtains is sturdy and calm, and the interior is equipped with an emergency power generator.

In the event of a problem with the horse, it can still maintain a high speed with the electric drive, which is enough to get rid of some pursuit dangers.

After emphasizing some basic issues, the driver officially set off for his destination - [Vernal City].

Although the distance of 51km is written on paper,

Due to the various mountain topography, the journey time is expected to take three and a half hours.

Just as everyone was chatting about the task, Yi Chen suddenly threw out a question that pressed in his heart.

"What is the [secret medicine]? It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the course. ”

Time

There was silence in the carriage.

In the end, Edmund answered this question:

"It seems that William, you have basically spent your time on yourself in the past six months, so you don't know any information related to the organization...... Let me briefly explain.

Mention the secret medicine,

There are two other important concepts that must be mentioned, "doctor" and "clinic".

When we first came to Zion, we met a doctor on the bridge, you should know about it, right? ”

"Hmmm......"

Yi Chen heard Edmund say at that time that doctors belong to a group of special people among gentlemen, with special abilities and strong abilities, and will be issued a "doctor's certificate" after being recognized by the organization.

Edmund continued:

"[Clinics] are similar to [Tailor Shops] in that they are both important institutions that are established outside the country through the recognition and financial support of the organization.

The clinic can provide medical services such as treatment, moralization and elimination for gentlemen who are on a mission nearby or on the way, and it is also a special armed unit that will provide support in the event of an emergency in the surrounding area.

But the core and most important part of the clinic is the [secret medicine Nostrum]

If a doctor wants to open a private clinic outside the country and obtain the support of the organization in terms of human and material resources, he must submit a "secret medicine manuscript" and a sample.

After the organization has been tested and audited to confirm the value of the secret drug, it will pass the approval of the clinic.

At the same time, the clinic is required to deliver a fixed amount of secret medicine to the tissue on a regular basis.

If the production is high and the value exceeds the estimate, the organization will also increase the clinic's budget, increase the number of apprenticeships at the clinic, and provide support from all sides.

Normally,

The raw materials of the secret medicine are usually taken from the [patient],

After being processed and processed by a doctor's unique and private means, a special agent that does not carry pathogens will be obtained.

This is the most important and core secret of every clinic.

Generally speaking, we can divide secret elixirs into three categories.

1. Healing

The effect of the healing secret medicine is far better than that of ordinary medicines, and it can achieve physical recovery in a short period of time, breaking through the original upper limit.

Some even provide ultra-fast regeneration for a certain period of time, allowing the individual to remain "immortal".

2. Combat class

This kind of secret medicine will activate and strengthen a certain trait that a gentleman possesses, and obtain a great degree of enhancement for a certain period of time.

If the secret medicine does not match the individual's trait attributes, rejection will occur, and in severe cases, death may occur.

3. Potentiality

It is a relatively rare and very valuable secret medicine.

Can increase an individual's [Psyche] for a certain period of time.

It is often used to explore important areas between gray fields, or to make personality breakthroughs.

The above three categories are what I know from family books, and after so many years of organizational development, there may be a whole new category of secret medicine.

All in all, the secret medicine plays an irreplaceable and important role in our fight against disease.

There are also things to pay attention to,

For different individuals, the dosage of secret medicine is very demanding.

If overdosed, it may cause irreparable damage to the individual, or even direct death...... It is also possible to induce hidden diseases in the secret medicine room, and to intend to infect the person who takes it.

When we pass the stage of newcomers and gentlemen,

Slowly, we will come into contact with more and more secret medicines, which can save our lives in times of crisis. ”
