Chapter 259: "The Craftsman"
"Spread the strong emotions of pain and longing for change in your heart to at least 50 people, the higher the degree of emotional resonance, the better the effect of the ritual."
As she walked, Valilla reflected on the promotion ceremony that was somewhat similar to the Predator Knight, and suddenly burst out laughing, comprehending the most likely method adopted by the "Pain Witch" -
Raise 50 "Witches".
This can not only add new blood to the "Witch Sect", but also is simple to operate, and the effect of the ritual is also stable and long-lasting, and will not be washed away by time.
Valeera subconsciously took her place and thought about how she was going to accomplish such a ritual.
Obviously, she can't ruthlessly pull innocent people into the water, and she needs at least 50 of them, just to complete her promotion ceremony...... Thinking of this, Valera saw from afar the house where the Portland professor's house was still lit up at night.
She shook her head to distract from distractions, walked around the house, and after scouting the surrounding situation, she easily completed the infiltration.
There were no servants waiting in the house, and the three extraordinary members of the Portland professor family gathered in the brightly lit third-floor study, quietly waiting for the arrival of visitors.
After Valera found out the situation, she knocked on the door frame to remind her, and appeared generously and entered the open study, "Good evening, everyone."
"Good evening, please be seated."
Professor Portland Mormont replied with a smile, not too close or too far away, and asked Valilla what he meant.
The atmosphere is a bit stiff and not suitable for starting a conversation.
Valilla sat down on the couch and didn't rush to the point, but asked a question first:
"I wonder what Professor Mormont thinks of the new mechanical inventions, including the production and sales of them?"
Professor Portland's family of three seemed to have discussed countermeasures in advance, and after a short silence, it was Professor Portland himself who replied.
"Do you have a project to invest in?" He frowned slightly, paused slightly, and asked, "How much?"
In his opinion, since Valilla asked so, the purpose was probably money.
Although I agreed to it so quickly, I felt a little embarrassed by being blackmailed, but if the amount was not too excessive and I could solve the problem with money, it would be acceptable.
"A new type of bicycle."
As she spoke, Valera took out the formalities of the "bicycle company", along with the equity gift agreement, put it on the table, and pushed it to the three people opposite.
……
After a short period of tentative and conciliatory conversation, Valera finally gained the initial trust of Professor Portland, and barely managed to dissolve the stiffness of the conversation.
"Well, now you can tell what you really mean, as long as it's not too demanding, you can negotiate it."
As he spoke, Professor Portland pressed the note with the recipe for the potion of "The Baron of Corruption" on the equity grant agreement, without opening it at all.
Valera smiled:
"I'd like to borrow your workshop and Artisan's magical items to create something extraordinary, the more secretive kind.
"I can assure you that it's not a dangerous item."
Faced with Valeera's request, Professor Portland frowned deeply and felt embarrassed.
He discussed with his daughter and son-in-law in a low voice for a while, and then looked up at Valeera again and said:
"I'm sure you've heard that, we need to ask a few questions and clear some concerns before we can try to believe you and agree to your request."
"Yes, please."
Valera shrugged slightly, "But I can't promise to answer."
"Of course," Professor Portland stared at Valeera's expression, "Are you going to make an extraordinary weapon?"
"It's not." Valera replied very simply.
……
A few moments later, a few simple rounds of questions and answers ended.
Professor Portland breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed the corners of his forehead, leaned back on the couch as if tired, and said:
"We agreed.
"I hope you are telling the truth and that you will not cause us trouble and disaster."
With a wave of his hand, Associate Professor Barak left the study and quickly retrieved the "craftsman" magical item.
To Valeera's surprise, it was the mountable magnifying glass she had seen at Associate Professor Barak's house.
"Wait a minute, I'll examine the recipe first."
As he spoke, he hung his magnifying glass on his silver-rimmed glasses, flipped through the slip of paper with the recipe for the potion of "The Corrupt Baron."
"Authentic." He quickly came to a conclusion.
Hearing the conclusion, Sasha Mormont, who was on the side, happily took the formula from her husband's hand.
During this period, Valilla and Professor Portland also completed the signing of the Share Gift Agreement and the "Concert Party" Agreement.
The old professor put down his signed pen and nodded to Valeera, "Please leave an account and I'll have someone send you money tomorrow."
He still kept an insurance hand...... Valilla didn't pierce the old professor's careful thoughts, and left her real-name account with a loan of 1,000 pounds, and asked with a smile:
"Can you take me to the workshop now?"
Professor Portland got up from the couch, "Of course, please follow me."
He lit a candle and led Vali down to the back of the first floor, where he entered the underground workshop through a small platform set up at the end of a hallway.
After a few brief explanations, he stood back on the lifting platform, turned the rocker wheel, and returned to the first floor.
Valilla opened the canvas package she had brought, placed the materials and utensils she needed on the research table, and finally opened the rightmost drawer of the research table, and took out the black-rimmed glasses that Professor Portland had kept inside.
The lenses are thick, and apparently the power is not low.
But there was no way, the "craftsman" magical item had to be mounted on the glasses before it could be used, Valilla didn't prepare in advance, and she could only temporarily grieve her eyes.
When you put on your glasses, the dizziness of the height of the number hits immediately.
However, with the "Pain" Witch's ability to grasp and regulate herself, Valera quickly adapted.
Then, she hung the "magnifying glass" with the characteristics of a "craftsman" on the left lens, and felt its negative effects at the same time.
As Professor Portland has already explained, the negative effects of this "Craftsman" item are very mild, only slightly speeding up the brain, and randomly temporarily blocking a portion of the user's memories.
Valera diverged and spread her spirituality, dipped them into a "magnifying glass" and completed the final communication.
With a bang, Valeera felt a shock in her heart, as if she saw a flickering misty light, and received a lot of knowledge and information at the same time-
This includes how to use the "Identification Technique" with the help of a "magnifying glass", how to combine, transform, and process extraordinary materials, as well as some knowledge of runes and rituals.
Unfortunately, there is no part of how to exploit and process the extraordinary properties.
New knowledge brings new inspiration, Valeera's mind is active for a while, and her "making" ability has been greatly blessed as expected.
At this moment, Valera felt like a real "craftsman"!
