Thinking like this, Wayne didn't even have the heart to prepare dinner, nibbled on a few pieces of hard black bread, and began to get busy.

The zombie lady Sarava, who was quietly waiting in the corner, stared at him with godless eyes, and it took a long time for her to turn stiffly and look out the window, as if there was something there that interested her.

The ghosts and drivers were bouncing up and down, as if doing so would increase the speed at which they meditated.

Wayne glanced at the bedroom, thought for a moment, and then went to the second floor to find an empty room, and then took out the materials in the ring, along with the contents of the box, and arranged them all over the room.

This is the workshop where he makes potions and mechanical golems.

In reality, however, he only used a small portion of the space.

The potions-making workbench consisted only of crucibles and precision scales, which looked rudimentary.

On the other side, the area where the mechanical golems are made is larger.

On the ground are mechanical parts, as well as tools for engraving runes and making mechanical golems, as well as small machines for carving knives and polishing parts.

With these preparations in place, Wayne opened the panel and took a look.

Survival points: 246

“246……”

Although he expected it, he was still stunned by the number.

Claire's assassination of him during the day, didn't even go to the city that never sleeps, and it was more profitable?

For a moment, Wayne even wanted to go to the City That Never Sleeps to harvest survival points in the future......

However, when he thought of the powerful Lord of Desire, Lady Mitra, he finally chose to give up on this tempting idea.

If you have a life to earn, you have to have a life to spend.

With that in mind, Wayne changed into a hazmat suit and prepared to make potions.

Now that there is no isolation circle, there is no way for him to guarantee his own safety when there is a spillover of pollution characteristics, so he has to be more careful.

However, compared to mechanical golems, which require precise calculations, apprentice-level potion making is not that complicated.

All he had to do was put the weighed ingredients into the crucible in turn, and stirred them according to the recipe description.

And those techniques are such as clockwise stirring, counterclockwise, fast or slow...... It feels pretty simple.

The only thing to note is that when the properties of different materials are mixed or cancelled out, the rhythm of the mixing will be affected.

At that point, all he has to do is keep his composure, especially his hands must not tremble, otherwise there will be a leakage of polluting properties.

Everything was going on carefully, and it wasn't until the potion was formed that he was relieved.

[You have successfully crafted an enlightenment potion, and your introduction to potions requires ten full-level potions knowledge to advance to proficiency.] Evaluation: Potions, a body of knowledge full of wisdom. Special Rewards: +3 Survival Points, +1 Spirit Level. 】

Wayne hurriedly opened the panel and looked at it.

Enlightenment Elixir Level 1 (0/1)

[Note 1: A single potion proficiency level represents the probability of a perfect quality when crafting a potion successfully, with a level 1 probability of 10%, and so on.] 】

[Note 2: The same potion has different qualities and different effects.] The quality is divided into inferior, excellent, sophisticated, and perfect. 】

I see, let's just say that it can't be a success rate anymore.

Otherwise, if level 1 only has a 10% success rate, most of those wizards who study Potions will not have to die?

Wayne looked at the Enlightenment Potion that had been stored in the glass bottle, "Making a potion is quite simple......"

He couldn't help but pout his lips when he thought of the phantom that appeared when the resentful spirit essentia was put in just now.

Fake is fake, not scary at all, okay?

……

……

While Wayne was immersed in his studies, the neighborhood of Laos, not far from him, seemed to be cut off from the city-state of Custer, and it seemed unusually quiet.

"Despair, despair, despair......"

An empty and feeble voice slowly wandered over the neighborhood of Laos, as if a man who had lost hope and had become aimless and directionless was whispering.

As the voices of despair spread, one murmur after another came from all directions.

A woman with a withered face, dressed in rags, with empty and dull eyes, whispered, "Despair ......"

Immediately after that was an unusually short and thin figure, crawling out of the sewers, a little girl faintly recognizable from her sludge-covered face, "Desperate ......"

Then, more and more people came out of all corners of the Laos neighborhood, bathed in the red moon, immersed in despair.

"Desperate ......"

Everyone raised their heads, embracing the halo of red moonlight that they usually avoided, and the expressions on their faces changed from sluggishness to enjoyment and expectation, as if they had found salvation in despair.

"Runo, Runo, Runo......" (despair, despair, despair...... ）

When Gonzalez's voice sounded, everyone began to chant along, as if to summon a mysterious and strange power.

"The dawn will go, and the red moon will live forever."

"The swan song of sorrow, the death of all things."

"May all eternity be servants of the Red Moon......

"May the light of the Lord of the Red Moon shine forever on the world, and may all the vanity of the world become an eternal nightmare......"

These words are not lingua franca, nor Gonzarez, but are whimpered in a strange tone.

It's like background music in the weird darkness, it's creepy.

"The Lord of the Red Moon will come to redeem or destroy ......"

As the men finished chanting, half-moon-shaped marks with a red halo appeared on their foreheads, echoing the red moon above them.

A thin, slender, withered man became plump at a speed visible to the naked eye, molting his body, giving birth to delicate skin, washing away the long-accumulated sludge.

The man became handsome, with a tall figure,

The woman was as beautiful as a flower, with a plump body, revealing a large area of beauty from under the rag-like clothes.

Even children are elevated to the height of adults......

At this moment, two black shadows crawled out of the shadows, like shadow ghosts emerging from the shadows, leaning against the wall.

Click, click.

The lighter flared, and the shadow lit a cigarette and smoked it, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is this enough?" ”

"It's not enough."

Another dark shadow stared indifferently at the crowd that was undergoing strange changes in front of him, "Claire must be made to feel desperate......

The smoking dark shadow chuckled, "Despair? Aktor, you elders don't dare to say such things, do you? ”

"So, I need your help, Lord Padilla." Ector's voice was weak, just like the voice he had had sung of despair before.

"So, what are you going to give in exchange for my help?"

Padilla spat out a smoke ring, and a hint of playfulness flashed in her eyes the same color as the red moon, "The red moon needs a lot of delicious food. ”

"Is it enough for the whole Custer?"

"Tsk, it's you...... Favored by the Lord of Despair. ”

I like it, though!
