"Didn't you?"

"Yes, it's true, the night hive you last bought is the last thing we have in stock. The clerk replied respectfully, "I'm very sorry." She bowed and apologized.

Anglie stood at the counter, frowning.

Where he was, in a large pharmacy. The midday sun shone through the door, hitting his black leather boots.

At the counter in front of me, seven or eight clerks were busy receiving customers buying medicines. And one of them is receiving Angliel.

"Is your Grace Pharmacy the largest pharmacy in the city, and there are no branches in other areas?" asked Anglete again,

"I'm afraid yes, the night beehive you bought last time is still the last stock left. The clerk apologized again, "I'm sorry to disappoint you." ”

"And where did your night hive come from?" said Angle. He has already run five or six drug chains, and this one is the last hope.

"Night hives are abandoned beehives that have been collected by chance from nearby residents. There is no fixed purchase channel. If you really need it, try your luck in the surrounding forest outside the city and see if you can spot a night bee. We also only buy it by luck. The clerk explained.

"Okay. Angel nodded.

Leaving the medicine store, he walked down the street in the direction of his return. In my heart, I was thinking about how to get more night beehives.

It's been more than a month since the last bottle of sobering potion was dispensed with, and for more than a month, he's been collecting night hives all over the city, but when he gets two, he's depleted, and he's run out of stock at any medicine store.

The two hives were lucky enough to configure three bottles of potion, and within a month, Anglie's spiritual power also reached the level of 4.9, which was the result of the help of the elixir and his own meditation, if Angliel could find five or six more beehives, he would be able to reach the standard of successful promotion.

But unfortunately, the whole city is out of stock, and if you want it again, you can only go out and collect it yourself.

However, no one has been able to collect hives while the night bees are still around. The night bee is more poisonous, and used to night activities, the whole body is pitch black, it is difficult to find at all, every year there are people who accidentally step into the territory of the night bee and are stung to death, it is a very difficult bee to deal with.

Moreover, the most troublesome thing is that the traces of night bees are difficult to detect, they like to migrate everywhere, and the hives will also be dragged by them, which is very difficult to find.

Returning to his residence, Anglie unexpectedly found that a carriage was parked in front of the shop, and the body was covered with a pattern of sunflowers and white birds, which was the carriage of the city lord's mansion.

A group of heavily armed white-armored guards stood guard around the carriage. A few people who looked like petty officials stood respectfully and waited.

The alley was swept clean, and Tia had just come to deliver pies and drinks, and stood a little stiffly outside the door, looking at the two black carriages with some cringe.

As soon as Anglie entered the alley, the officials hurried up to meet him.

"Lord Angle, you're finally back. Lord Hyland has been waiting for you for more than an hour. These fat officials were all petty officials who managed the nearby city, but at this time they were low-voiced and sweaty.

Since the last time Anglie went to the castle banquet, they knew that there was a big person in their jurisdiction, and after several visits, they learned that Anglie did not like to be disturbed, so they stopped visiting the house and set out to improve the surrounding environment of the store.

"Lord Highland?" Angli was slightly stunned and looked at the black carriage in the alley.

"Dear Angele, have you forgotten your friendship when you heard that you were buying the Night Hive everywhere, and you didn't mention it to me if you needed to?"

"How so?" said Angle, smiling. "Just check to see if there is a medicine store in the city first, if you can buy it, you don't have to bother. ”

"What a hassle, this little thing. As soon as Hailan raised his hand, a guard behind him suddenly held a black wooden box.

He took it and handed it to Angle.

"There are a couple of night beehives here, I hope it will help you. Hyland had a sincere smile on her face.

Angree took the box. Open it and take a look. Eight night beehives were neatly placed inside, and the small earthy yellow balls were filled with black silk plugs, and they were delicately packaged.

"I do need these things, so I'm not going to be polite to you. A flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slowly and closed the box.

"It's for the best. Hailan nodded, "I still have some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you." ”

"Okay. ”

Angre watched as the group escorted the carriage slowly out of the alley.

He opened the box again and scanned the night beehive, seven of the eight were a little old, as if they were some years old, and only one looked fresh, slightly brighter in color, and the surface was faintly stained with blood.

Angliel frowned, picked up the hive, and sniffed it. A stream of bloody gas penetrated his nose.

"Bloody gas, this gift is very heavy. He muttered under his breath.

Obviously, this beehive was collected by Hailan by hand, and the smell of blood on it was very faint, as if it had been cleaned, but Anglie's five senses were much stronger than ordinary people, so he could naturally distinguish them.

He could imagine that for the sake of this very fresh night beehive, Hyland had at least lost a lot of manpower. According to the description of the person in the medicine shop, the speed of normal night bees is very fast, about twice that of ordinary adults, and if it is not knight-level, it is difficult to dodge at all. And the most important thing is that they are very small and poisonous, and the tail spines are very long, and the average thinner full-body leather armor can't stop them at all. Heavier leather armor and the like are too heavy to keep up with their movement speed.

And they like to be nocturnal. This makes it even more inconvenient to collect hives.

In other words, the blood stains on this are likely to be left by knight-level masters. That's why Angel felt that this gift was heavy.

"Although the night beehive can be found, it seems that the materials that I asked for Hailan before have not been heard from for so long. Sure enough, it is impossible for ordinary people to find those rare materials in the world. Anglie shook his head and returned to the shop with the box.

Tia was arranged to go to the courtyard to continue practicing, and he sat alone at the table. Carefully remove the night bee nest from the box and soak it all in a clear liquid. Place in a large glass bottle.

The problem of materials is solved, and the next thing is to calm down and speed up the progress of mental power. Eight night beehives can at least configure eight bottles of potion, plus the progress of meditation, it is absolutely no problem to reach 6.

So Angel simply stayed in the store, didn't go anywhere, and concentrated on dispensing and taking the potion. Strive to meet the criteria for promotion.

Time passes. Soon, more than a week later.

Anglie sat cross-legged on the bed with a calm face, his luck was not very good these days, except for seven bottles of sobering elixir. But it also managed to increase the mental power to the level of 6.2. Originally, he thought it was 6.3, but it turned out that the body had faintly developed a certain resistance to the drug, resulting in a bit of a decrease in the effect.

"Anyway, I've finally met the conditions for promotion. Angele breathed a sigh of relief.

He specifically told Tia not to come over today and to rest for two days.

Glancing at the crystal clock on the table, it was around 2:10 p.m.

Anglie got out of bed, stood up, and retrieved the graphite potion from a package in the room.

The potion was contained in a silver metal bottle, a thin-necked vase-like bottle with a palm-length flask, and a brown wooden stopper was used to plug the mouth.

Anglie placed the graphite potion on the table.

Take out two flintstones from the table drawer and wipe them to light a solid oil lamp. Oil lamps are very hot, similar in appearance to the Earth's alcohol lamps, except that they are filled with white solid grease.

A red flame burst into flames on the wick.

Anglie took out a large beaker, placed it on a black heating stand, poured a reddish liquid into it, and then took out a test tube containing a yellowish powder.

Anglie poured some yellow powder into the beaker.

Silently, the pale red liquid in the beaker quickly turned dark blue and was very turbid.

Anglie moved the oil lamp under the beaker and began to heat up.

Ten minutes passed.

Strangely, the blue liquid in the beaker showed no signs of boiling, but the color became bluer, almost slightly black.

And the whole room is gradually filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.

Angliel nodded slightly, feeling that the heat was almost over, and then picked up the graphite potion that was put aside.
