Chapter 412: Twin Sword Bet
With the assurance of the Eighth Apostle, Midi immediately felt as if he had taken a reassuring pill.
Although he prefers to rely on his own strength, Midi and Lotus are now considered to share honor and disgrace, and their interests are closely linked.
Whether it's dealing with the Death Hunt Order or reshaping the physical reincarnation, the Dark Dragon City Legacy is indispensable, and it must be used in a way that can be used by the previous qiē.
So, under the temptation of "triple the price", Midi made a decision and prepared to start trying alchemy.
More precisely, an attempt to get the Eighth Apostle Lotus to guide himself in alchemy.
"I have to admit that your alchemy potion is indeed unique, and many of its methods are unheard of in the Arad continent. After a few pretentious laps back and forth, Midi finally spoke.
Sherlock didn't react to this at all, as an alchemist of the tarantula tribe, his status could be said to be even higher than that of Golantis.
After all, there are two Black Dragon Priests, or sworn enemies, this one is not a bird, you can go and ask for another.
But he was the only alchemist of the tarantula, and the others in the alchemy workshop were just miscellaneous work.
In other words, in the Tarantula Tribe, if you want to increase the value of your materials, there is only one way to find Sherlock except to travel through the long trade route to Morsoblay City.
In this case, Sherlock had to hear more compliments every day than normal conversation, and he was already immune, how could he have a feeling for Midi's words?
Unexpectedly, just as Sherlock wanted to open his mouth to taunt the other party a few more words, Midi suddenly changed his words and said: "However, in comprehensive comparison, of course, our surface alchemy is better. ”
As soon as these words came out, the temperature in the entire alchemy workshop suddenly plummeted by several degrees.
The dark elf apprentices looked at Midi with no contempt, but at the dead man's eyes.
How stupid would it be to dare to provoke Sherlock in the alchemy workshop?
"Y-What are you talking about?" Sherlock thought for a moment that he hadn't heard.
"However, there are many merits to your approach, but in most cases, it is not so much alchemy as mixing the materials together in a specific proportion. In this way, not only can not give full play to the full effect of the material, but there is also the problem of zài waste, which is really not clever. Midi spoke eloquently, with a condescending attitude.
Of course, in a place like the Dark Regions that only values strength, Sherlock would not have been able to become the person in charge of the alchemy workshop if he didn't have some skills, and the quality of his alchemy potions was actually quite good.
It's a pity that the person who really made the evaluation was not Midi, but the eighth apostle Lotus.
In the eyes of this supreme powerhouse, this trick of the dark elves is naturally extremely crude, of course, it must be criticized fiercely.
"Good boy, you're pretty good at that!" Sherlock finally reacted.
After coming to the tarantula tribe for so many years, it was the first time he was criticized like this, and he was immediately angry to the extreme.
However, it was precisely because he was so angry that Sherlock couldn't scold and sneered instead.
"The Dark Regions have the style of the Dark Regions, boy, since you dare to say that, then make it clear, otherwise, I will ask the Patriarch to expel you directly from the Tarantula Tribe!" Sherlock let out a low growl, "Of course, this is just the beginning, because I will immediately call a whole bunch of centaurs and take you back as a slave again, and only give me a slave!"
"To be clear? Absolutely. Midi nodded, as if she didn't take the other party's threat to heart at all, "It's just that if it's just a theory, you must not be convinced, right?"
"Oh, what other flower heads do you?" Sherlock narrowed.
He was not in a hurry, the patience of an alchemist had always been good, and at this moment, Sherlock was like a beast playing with his prey, wanting to see what this human who dared to provoke him was capable of.
But the next moment, when he heard Midi's words, he was stunned again.
"Although I am a warrior, I do know some common sense of alchemy, so let me refine some potions and give you a reference, how about it?" Midi looked at Sherlock calmly, as if to say something very commonplace.
"What?" said Sherlock, who was really stunned this time.
If Midi's provocation made him unable to react, then at this moment, Midi proposed to do alchemy himself, which completely stunned him.
This human kid can also do alchemy?
How is this possible?
It's absolutely impossible!
There's definitely something wrong with that!
Sherlock spun his brain around and suddenly thought of a possibility—could it be that this human had been instructed by some people to deliberately cause trouble, even specifically to target the precious materials in the alchemy workshop?
Thinking of this, the old alchemist, who was originally full of contempt for Midi, suddenly had a trace of jealousy and caution in his eyes at this moment.
Crazy and crazy, who can survive in the dark region and obtain a higher status, who is a fool?
However, Midi had already expected this, and he smiled slightly: "After all, I am only a warrior, and I don't have any advanced skills in alchemy, so let's refine the simplest blood clotting potion and magic potion here, and ask Master Sherlock to provide the materials, how about it?"
Refining here?
The vigilance that Sherlock had just raised suddenly dropped again.
If you don't enter the real yàn room of the alchemy workshop, the materials are completely up to you, so there is really no danger.
However, this human can really do alchemy?
Sherlock was still skeptical.
With the old alchemist's expression in full view, Midi knew that it was not enough to provoke and amplify words, it was not enough to dispel the other party's worries, and there was something to add to push it to the end.
That's the benefits.
"If the refining fails, these two swords will be regarded as compensation. Midi said again, lightly untied the "kill" and "lore" double swords from his waist, snapped, and slapped them on the table.
As one of the collections of the Eighth Apostle Lotus, this pair of dual swords is definitely a first-class weapon even if placed in the Dark Regions.
Except for Alex's pair of scimitars, which may be comparable to them, the weapons of other tarantula warriors and warriors are definitely not comparable to this pair of "annihilation" double swords.
As for the blood clotting potion and magic potion, let alone three times the price of the material, even if it is thirty times, it is completely inferior to the fraction of this pair of "Destruction" double swords.
How old and spicy Sherlock's eyes were, how could he not see the value of the midi sword.
Under the lust for profit, he didn't have time to think about whether there was any conspiracy behind him, and immediately shouted: "Okay, human, I'll give you a chance!"
With Sherlock nodding, those apprentices naturally wouldn't and didn't dare to object.
Immediately, on the lowest floor of this alchemy workshop, a huge alchemy table was carried over, and all kinds of alchemy utensils were ready.
Materials such as the Black Leaf Grass for blood clotting potions and the Dark Vine for magic potions are also available.
Obviously, Sherlock didn't bother to work on the material at all.
Moreover, for the inhabitants of the Shadows, since most of the competition has a blood oath as a just relationship, secretly blocking this choice rarely comes into their sight.
Besides, if Midi really knew alchemy, could he have been able to thwart it once, and then three or five times?
Sooner or later, the truth of the facts will be revealed in front of everyone's eyes.
In this case, it is better to provide good conditions and take a closer look at what this human being can do.
"Come on, come to alchemy, let me see what the humans on the surface are capable of!" Sherlock said with his hands on his hips, grinning.
But this time, Midi no longer answered, but directly ignored his provocation.
At this moment, all of Midi's thoughts have been put on the matter of alchemy.
In his inky pupils, a deep blue light flashed.
Psychic abilities, environmental sensing!
In an instant, every detail on the alchemy table was completely controlled by Midi.
Every bump on the tabletop, the fine dust, and, of course, the material itself, can be sensed clearly.
However, Midi knew very well that this was not enough, because what could be clearly sensed now was only the "outline".
What he needs to sense is the "internal structure" under the "outline".
You must know that alchemy is such a thing, even if it is a real genius, even if it is a genius who never forgets it, no matter how well it is cooked in theory, it is still impossible to really master it without countless times of practice and countless materials.
The heat used at different times, the direction and composition of the flames, the changes in the herbs, and the timing of the addition of new herbs all require empirical judgment.
Without experience, even if he had a clear grasp of the details, Midi still didn't know what to do and when.
Moreover, although the Eighth Apostle Lotus is on his side, in the final analysis, the experience of Lotus cannot be completely transformed into the experience of Midi.
Even if the Eighth Apostle reminds him out loud, or even in advance, it is Midi who is the last to do it, and there will be a problem of zài being out of sync, and the reaction will take time after all.
Moreover, even if it is the same material, there will be subtle differences between different strains.
Take this blood coagulation potion as an example, Lotus used mainly the black leaf grass of the Demon Realm, and he had also used the Sky and the Sea of Clouds before, but he had not used the Dark Region.
Therefore, when refining this potion in the dark region, even for the Eighth Apostle, it was a new experience.
Of course, with his wisdom and experience, he would naturally be able to distinguish the changes in them when refining, and then deal with them very appropriately.
But Midi couldn't do that, and even if he already knew a lot of theories from Lotus, when he actually tried it, he would still find a lot of differences.
And when this difference appears, Lotus reminds that by the time Midi reacts and responds, there will already be a deviation.
Midi had to be the first to grasp the changes in the material.
And since he has no experience and cannot judge only from appearance and various indirect factors, the only option is to judge directly.
Use the psychic ability "Environmental Sensing" to see through the inside of the material, and completely abandon the way of empirical judgment!
