Chapter 112: "The Sleepless" Harpy
After the deal was completed, Valilla did not rush to leave, but chatted with the Baraks again.
"Look at you like this, you have a good relationship with the 'craftsman'."
"I guess this transaction should prove my integrity, right?" Knowledgeables' recipes, have you asked me about them? β
Barak's wife had already lowered the muzzle of her gun, and in her hand she held the note with the recipe for the "barbarian" potion, and although she knew in her heart that she should be vigilant, she couldn't help but glance at it from time to time.
Barak was calmer, holding the dagger tightly.
He shook his head, "I asked, no." β
"You go, it's better not to come again, if you must come, please send a message in advance, thank you."
Valilla nodded thoughtfully and said:
"If I'm right, your 'Knowledgeable' potion should have come from the Church of the God of Steam and Machines, right?"
Barak grimaced, not responding to this sentence.
Valilla didn't expect him to answer, laughed, and left via "castling".
β¦β¦
Sunday, July 15.
After breakfast, Valera and Harold took the cop to West Villas Field.
The process of proof is both simple and not simple.
They actually brought in an "interrogator" for questioning!
Fortunately, Valeera's sequence level is high enough, and it is not difficult to resist mental coercion.
It's Harold who is hard.
He's only in Sequence 9, and Valera doesn't have much faith in him.
But there was no chance to turn back, and Valeera could only smile and watch him enter the room for questioning.
Soon, about half a minute, Harold's angry voice was heard in the room.
"Enough of asking, it's fun to scare people, isn't it?!"
He opened the door and walked out.
The policeman who was waiting at the door to prove the result hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to apologize, but was casually pushed away by Harold.
Seeing that no one was shouting and chasing, Valera made sure that Harold had passed the test, and put down her hanging heart.
On the way back, she asked Harold:
"What happened, why are you angry?"
"Nothing," Harold shook his head, "I did it on purpose. β
"My current identity, no matter how down, is stronger than the police, my sister's identity is suspected, and I have to answer questions like a prisoner, and it's not normal to be angry."
"The two questions he asked were enough to dispel suspicions, but if I hadn't been angry, he might have asked them again, and maybe I wouldn't have been able to hold on."
"I've been a police officer before, so I'm familiar with this situation, and in fact, my anger this time was a relatively mild reaction."
Valera realized that she was still too "honest".
But after thinking about it, she felt that her performance was also in line with her polite but slightly arrogant young lady character.
In any case, the result is good.
β¦β¦
In the afternoon, Valera takes Harpy into the chemistry lab on the third floor of the house.
This medium-sized room was originally intended to be a classroom for tutors to tutor children, with a few desks and chairs and a large blackboard as the main furnishings.
After moving in, Valilla instructed the housekeeper to make slight modifications to the place, adding some necessary equipment, and turning it into a simpler private chemistry laboratory.
Of course, Valilla just wanted an environment where it was easy to avoid servants and configure potions.
The auxiliary materials of the "Sleepless" potion are quite common, in addition to pure water, common plant materials such as deep sleep flowers and night vanilla, and even so common that you don't need to look for them.
"Harpy, watch me prepare potions."
After giving the message to the squatting dog, Valera began to do so, and quickly added all the supporting materials.
Finally, she took out the magical item "Factory Owner's Love" that she had traded last night and placed it on the table.
Valeera unleashed the ability to "dismantle", so that her hands were covered with black smoke, picked up the tie clip on the table, and quickly dismantled it like a normal object.
Eventually, a pile of fragments on her palm suddenly collapsed, turning into tiny dots of light, dark black dots of light.
That's where the ability to "dismantle" comes in.
At present, Valilla is only able to dismantle a limited number of objects, except for the whalebone runes she has made herself, and there are only magical items that are not deeply polluted and correspond to low-sequence characteristics.
Before the dismantled extraordinary properties could take on new changes, Valilla sprinkled them into a beaker on the side and into the half-finished "Sleepless" potion.
Soon, the two merged, and the "Sleepless" potion was prepared.
Through the "Psychic Connection", Valilla once again confirmed that the huppy's mental state was okay, and poured the potion from the beaker into his mouth.
Actually, if it was possible, Valilla wanted to teach Harpy to meditate first.
But alas, Harpy's IQ is not enough, and she has tried for a long time, but she has not been able to get it to master this relatively complex technique.
After drinking the potion, Harpy whimpered and fell to the ground.
Over the next few minutes, it would let out a few painful-sounding whimpering sounds from time to time.
Valera was a little nervous, but all she could do was stay by the side.
Because of the special nature of the chosen path, the potion that Valeera provided to the Harpy this time was lightly tainted.
For ordinary people, the difficulty of ascension is very slight, but for animals that are not as spiritually as humans, the difference in this point may be the boundary between success and failure.
Fortunately, in the end, Harpy survived.
"Wang!"
It screamed and got back up.
Valeera hurriedly re-established the "connection" and tried to communicate with it.
The first thought she received was "uncomfortable".
Of course, this is followed by a flood of distracted thoughts.
Valilla is already very experienced in dealing with this situation, and among the subjects she has established a "psychic connection", except for Sharon and MariΔ, everyone else has this phenomenon to a greater or lesser extent.
Soon, Valilla confirmed the status of the Harpy, and also discovered that after becoming a magical beast, his IQ also increased a lot.
"Come, follow my lead, try to meditate......" Valera tried again to teach the Harpy to meditate.
Soon, a happy color appeared on her face.
Because this time Harpy's comprehension has improved a lot, and although he still failed in the end, his progress has far exceeded all previous attempts.
Valera kept up her efforts, and it took nearly an hour for Harpy to complete her first meditation.
Although it only remained in a meditative state for more than ten seconds, it was already rare to be able to succeed.
On top of that, the number of times "uncomfortable" appears in the thoughts it conveys has dropped significantly.
That's enough.
Valeera's worst fears are likely to be no longer happening.
