Chapter 223: Doing things without thinking about the consequences, huh? (5/6)

The village of Philand is in the south of the city, and the Lily Manor is in the east of the city, about 16 miles from each other, which is not too far.

The road was not bad, and the Bright Moon carriage, under the escort of the Silver Moon Ranger, galloped all the way, and arrived at the ground in less than forty minutes, and it was only two o'clock in the afternoon.

When I arrived at the entrance of the manor, as soon as I got out of the car, Locky Butler saw Rosen and immediately greeted him with enthusiasm.

"Ah~ The master really guessed correctly~ Please come in, please come in~ Please come in."

Lawson pointed to the Silver Moon Ranger who came with him: "They are all my comrades-in-arms, and the housekeeper has arranged a place to rest."

"No problem, there is a small lake in the backyard of the manor, where gentlemen can go fishing and relax, and if they are sleepy, there is enough room to rest."

Lawson motioned to Watson, "Go ahead, I'll let you know if there's something."

After that, he followed the housekeeper to the manor villa.

"Has Madame been focusing on refining potions lately?"

"That's right~ Madame's alchemy is very powerful, much more powerful than those so-called famous alchemists."

Rosen thought back to Vivien's strange behavior in Philander Village, and a strange thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Of course, there is no evidence for this idea, it is just conjecture.

"When I see Vivien, I'll lie to her, and I'll probably get the answer."

Entering the hall of the villa, Locky Butler saluted Lawson.

"Madame is in the alchemy room in the basement, the entrance is over there, you can go there yourself."

Lawson nodded, secretly alerting in his heart, but he didn't panic, because the constant luck shield effect on his body was still there.

Walking to the basement door, he knocked lightly, "Vivien, can I come in now?"

"Click~"

There was a soft knock behind the door, followed by Vivien's voice.

"Honey, the door is open, come in."

Lawson pushed the door open.

After entering the door, there is a semicircular staircase that descends, and after a few steps down, you will see a large basement that is slightly dim.

The basement was at least 100 square meters, surrounded by a flat stone wall, with wooden planks on the floor, and a long square table in the middle, on which were placed all kinds of strangely shaped utensils.

Most of them are made of crystal glass, while others are made of ceramic, brass, and bronze.

Rosen took a closer look and found a still, a thermometer, an alcohol lamp, and other tools commonly used in chemical laboratories, all of which were quite delicately shaped.

On the walls on both sides, there are a lot of wooden shelves, on which are placed many glass bottles, and the bottles contain all kinds of strange things that Lawson can't name.

Vivien was busy standing at the square table.

She was wearing a large apron of thick cowhide, thick cowhide gloves, and a bird's beak mask on her head, and when she saw Rosen, she pointed to a set of thick cowhide protective gear on the wall next to the door.

"Put it on, a lot of my stuff here is poisonous."

Rosen did not dare to slack off and immediately complied.

Even if he has a toxin shield on his body, Alfreya may not be able to solve Vivien's poison.

After getting dressed, he was still standing five or six meters apart.

"It's a little dim inside, do you need me to keep a spell ball of light on the ceiling?"

Vivien immediately shook her head: "No, no, no~ many materials don't like bright light."

Hearing this, Rosen knew that the other party had indeed studied alchemy very deeply.

Seeing that the other party was concentrating on refining some unknown potion, he didn't bother and waited quietly.

After about ten minutes, the potion seemed to have been successfully refined.

Vivien extinguished the alcohol lamp and said to Rosen, "Look at the wall, there's a pull-on ventilation fan, you can help me pull it down and ventilate this room."

Lawson complied, pulling it one at a time, and sure enough, a lot of fresh air poured into the basement, replacing the slightly dirty air with a new one.

Vivien carefully put the freshly refined potion into the crystal bottle and sealed the bottle with tin foil

mouth, then looked at Lawson, and smiled, "Let's go, go to the hall and talk."

The two took off their protective suits and returned to the hall to sit.

After sitting down, Vivien smiled sweetly at Lawson, "Honey, do you think of me like that?"

Lawson had a solemn face, his eyes were cold, and he grasped the staff of flowers with one hand.

"Vivien, I was sorry for you, but I apologized sincerely, why did you hurt me?"

Vivian's expression stiffened slightly, and her eyes flickered a little: "Hurt you? Nope."

"Humph!"

Rosen sneered, "Fei Lun is my mortal enemy, but you helped him break through the master's cliff! Isn't that a great harm to me?"

Vivien's expression froze completely, and it took a while for her to regain her composure and look at Lawson with a strange gaze.

"How do you know?"

"I guessed, and then your reaction told me I guessed right."

As he spoke, Rosen slowed down, knowing that Vivien was no threat to him.

Seeing him like this, Vivian also eased her tense heart, and gently raised her hand and patted her forehead.

"Hey~ It's really scary to deal with a smart person like you, and you can't hide any secrets."

Then he gave Rosen another cautious look, "I really didn't mean to."

Lawson nodded, "You want to test him, right?"

When Vivien heard this, she immediately smiled sweetly, and her eyes flashed with excitement.

"Yes, yes~ Isn't my mana at the peak of the high level, but I can't break through for a long time, so I tried to refine an archmage potion."

"I thought of all kinds of methods, and I really found a way that might work, and refined the finished product."

"But I don't dare to use it myself, and high-level peak mages are hard to find, and even if I do, I definitely don't want to test the medicine for me."

Rosen understood.

"So, you took advantage of Master Electrolux's violent death, and Faeron was devastated, and his heart was depressed, and you tricked him into taking the potion?"

"That's right."

Vivien's eyebrows fluttered, and she seemed to have done something very proud.

"But Faeron is a high-level peak mage after all, even if he is depressed, he will definitely not give me a test."

"So, I used the white umbrella, poisonous firefly grass, and heart-mourning flower to refine the dizzy water, and then hid it outside his window, and secretly said a few words, but he stupidly drank the medicine."

Lawson listened carefully, and felt that things sounded simple, but the real operation was very suspenseful, and it was very easy to make mistakes.

"Aren't you afraid that if Feren finds out, he will beat you to death?"

Vivien didn't care.

"The process of pursuing true knowledge is always dangerous. In fact, this danger is nothing to me, and I've done even more dangerous things, and I almost died that time."

Lawson frowned slightly: "The existence on the high ground that is more dangerous than the high-level peak mage is the earl. You're not going to give the Count medicine too, are you?" z.br>

Thinking back to the housekeeper who said that Vivien had designed the Mochizuki Garden for the Earl, I thought it was very likely!

Vivian waved her hand again and again: "No, no, no~ How dare I test the medicine with the earl, it will really be dead." As a matter of fact...... Ahem~~~ It's all over anyway, so I won't mention it."

She didn't seem to want to bring it up, and immediately changed the subject.

But Rosen's mind flashed, and he had already guessed another possibility.

He lowered his voice and looked at Vivien with a lunatic gaze, "The ancient evil god of Moonlight Town unexpectedly woke up, it can't be your doing, right?!"

He was originally suspicious of Feron, but after knowing that Feron's background was Electrolux and that he had not been punished by the Earl, he knew that this matter had nothing to do with Feron.

Since it has nothing to do with Faeron, and the person who does this must be a powerful mage, then Vivien, an alchemist who has no fear of God, is very likely.

Vivien's face turned snowy

White, immediately denied.

"No, no, no~ it's not me!"

Rosen stared.

Vivien's voice grew quieter, "I...... I didn't mean to, I just wanted to take some transcendent materials to refine the medicine."

The voice is low and like a mosquito.

Lawson was speechless, he believed that what Vivien said was true, but he also deeply felt that this woman was strange.

"You do it, don't you want the consequences?"

Vivien spread her hands, looking aggrieved.

"There are countless secrets in the world, most of which I don't know. Isn't it normal for some accidents to happen while exploring that I don't know about?"

Rosen was speechless for a moment, because what he said was right.

Chemists in the history of the earth are not uncommon who die on the spot because of the direct smell of chemicals. The younger brother of the explosives king Nobel was killed while he was still experimenting.

Vivien is one of the first chemists in this world, and if she didn't have the spirit of not being afraid of death, she probably wouldn't be able to achieve what she is now.

After a long time, he whispered, "You know this, I know it, but don't let a third person know about it!" Otherwise, you'll be punished by God!"

Although Vivien's actions indirectly killed many people, he is not a moral gentleman, and he is too lazy to meddle in things.

After a pause, he said, "Let this matter be over completely, and I will keep your mouth shut. But you also have to keep your mouth in check, and don't try to show it off!"

Hearing Lawson say this, Vivien breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately raised her hand and pinched her mouth hard.

"I promise I won't."

Rosen believed her, because judging from her performance, she was not really without awe, and she was still very jealous of the third golden rule.

Only then did he ask about Faeron, "What are the side effects of the Archmage Potion?"

Vivien smiled lightly, "In my estimation, there are three possible side effects."

"First, effective, but feminine. Second, effective, but brutalized. Third, it was ineffective and died on the spot."

Lawson was stunned: "Can you tell the side effects by appearance?"

"Yes, hair loss is the first one. Increased hair, such as beard and thicker hair, is the second. You'll find the time to observe Faeron."

Rosen asked again, "Feron is not dead, it seems that it is the first and second side effects. To what extent did that experience it?"

Vivien thought for a moment, "I don't know about this, but it shouldn't be light, right?"

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "After I lowered the effect of the drug, I tried it on hunting dogs, chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits. The most serious is to become very thorough."

"The lightest, just a slight change. But there's a general rule that the older you get, the more you change."

Lawson understood, stopped paying attention to Feren, and was ready to ask for the clay potion.

Vivien suddenly added.

"Ah~ There is also a side effect, that is, the life expectancy will be greatly shortened, maybe five or six years, maybe one or two years, or even less than half a year."

Lawson was speechless: "Then you are equivalent to killing him."

"Actually, there was no such side effect, but he was your opponent, so I added an extra rejuvenation essence."

"This essence can greatly stimulate the body, and for a short time it will be full of energy, just like when you were a teenager, and then it will burn out like a burning candle violently."

What else could Lawson say, "Thank you so much."

Vivien waved her hand repeatedly.

"Who made you the father of the child, and I don't want my child to be fatherless from an early age, so I must help you."

After a pause, he added, "I know your intentions, you're looking for a low-cost clay potion, right?"

Rosen nodded, "That's right, the lower the cost, the better."

Vivien thought for a moment, "It's hard, but you can start a workshop and make a lot of potions to pay for it. Of course, the upfront investment is expensive."

Without waiting for Rosen to answer, she smiled and pointed to the ceiling.

"If only you could spend the next hour

If I am pleased, I will ask my brother to pay for a clay potion workshop and supply it to you at the lowest possible price."

Rosen suddenly felt like he was being smashed by a rich woman with money.

But he did need this potion, and he wasn't an innocent boy, so he nodded, "I'll do my best."

An hour later, Rosen left the villa slightly tired. As for Vivien, she was already tired and asleep.

When the Silvermoon Ranger arrived, Rosen noticed that they all had strange faces.

After thinking about it, I knew the reason, just now Vivien's mana exploded, and the sound penetrated the home protection technique.

Coughing lightly, Rosen explained with a little embarrassment, "Trust me, I'm doing this to better build Crescent Town."

One of the rangers said, "Sir, you don't need to explain, we've all heard about Vivien, and she's a very difficult woman."

The other ranger said, "Yes, we can all understand your struggle."

The third ranger was shocked: "Sir, your abilities are truly admirable!"

Rosen's heart warmed, and he sighed, "Let's go, go back to Philander Village!"
