Inside the box is a 10 ml test tube, and the volume of the medicine inside cannot be accurately read because the test tube is laid flat, but according to Arthur's estimate, it should be 5-6 ml.

Of course, that's not the point.

The focus is on the potion inside-

【Dead Soldier Elixir (Improved)】!

Arthur was surprised by the [Improvement] suffix of [Elixir of the Dead].

But what surprised Arthur even more was that Bob at this moment actually had a fluctuation of [spirituality].

It was a friendly, convincing fluctuation, and under this fluctuation, more remarks appeared in [Death Elixir (Optimized)] -

[Dead Soldier Potion (Optimized): Bob, who entered the death camp during the 'Seven Years' War, gradually emerged, not only appreciated by his boss, but also respected by his colleagues around him, he saved the lives of his boss and colleagues more than once, especially when he took the 'Death Potion' for the second time and was unharmed, the boss immediately appointed him as the captain of the first team of the death camp, some people who are proficient in 'potions' are quite curious about Bob, hoping to seek some Bob's blood, Bob is very cooperative, and in exchange for some'Mystic side knowledge', and an unexpected raid, Bob also inherited the legacy of a 'potions master', which not only has some basic potion recipes, but also some advanced potion recipes, but most importantly, there is a 'dead man potion' inside......

After the war, Bob and several of his comrades returned to live in North County for a while, but with the death of his comrades, Bob once again remembered the pain of his mother's death, which led him to leave, and for the next thirty years, Bob wandered and perfected his killing skills, while mastering the legacy of the 'Potions Master' and making changes.

Effect: When someone takes this potion under your gaze, they become a dead soldier loyal to you. 】

(Note 1: Even if the optimization of the [Dead Soldier Elixir] still has the risk of failure, and the person who takes it will die if it fails)

(Note 2: The physical and psychological state of the user will affect the success rate of [Dead Soldier Elixir])

(Note 3: [Dead Soldier Elixir] is not effective for those who already have and awaken [Spirits])

(Note 4: After surviving the medicine, the deceased will have a great increase in [physique], and will not be afraid of pain, and will have a certain resistance to the secret art that affects the mind)

(Note 5: The optimized [Dead Soldier Elixir] has greatly reduced the impact on the life span of the Dead Soldier, but the Dead Man is still unable to give birth)

……

Arthur looked at the [Dead Soldier Elixir (Improvement)] in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face.

The young 'psychic medium' was surprised by the suffix after the [Dead Soldier Elixir], and also surprised that Bob had become a mystical person, but Arthur was definitely not surprised that Bob would take out the [Dead Soldier Elixir].

Arthur was quite sure that the other party had come to South Los long ago after receiving Maltz's letter.

Why not just show up?

The other party was watching him.

Observe him and see if he is worth showing up.

Because of this, the other party thanked him for everything he did for Cotton and Nicole.

Similarly, because of Cotton and Nicole, the other party chose to show up and be honest with each other.

As Maltz said, Bob was a fairly pure man.

In the face of such a pure person, Arthur will not hide -

"How much does it cost?"

Arthur asked directly.

"About 500 gold coins, there is a certain failure rate, if I refine it, two will succeed in one."

Bob replied.

"What about the success rate of taking it?"

Arthur continued to ask about the key.

"If the eater is in good enough condition, there is a 1 in 5 chance - this is the previous success rate during the Seven Years' War!

The chance of taking the optimized agent is about 1 in 2 to 1 in 3, and the specific success rate still depends on the state of the user. ”

Bob said without concealment.

Arthur immediately began to calculate-

Is the success rate of the agent half?

In other words, it takes 1000 gold to successfully craft a [Dead Soldier Flask (Improved)]!

Add to that the success rate of the user, calculated by one-third......

3000 gold!

And this is still optimized!

If it's not optimized, you'll need 5,000 gold coins each!

It's no wonder that with the style of those aristocrats, there is no large-scale organization of 'death camps' - with the financial resources of old lions and tigresses, it is absolutely easy to get a team of 1,000 people, but if half of a battle is killed, the two of them can't bear it at all, and they are absolutely so distressed that they can't breathe! ’

Arthur's mind could fully conjure up the love and hate of the great nobles for the 'dead'.

Love is its loyalty and ability.

Hate, expensive to build.

Of course, there is the most important point -

Life span!

After taking the Elixir of the Dead, his lifespan was affected.

Power doesn't come out of nowhere!

Either have a talent, or overdraw your life.

The former is in the minority, and the latter is the majority.

And the most normal?

Or do nothing.

Whether it is an active choice or a passive choice, this is the life of most people.

After all, with 5,000 gold coins, it is impossible for the vast majority of people in Nanlos to earn so much in their lifetime.

As for the investment of 5,000 gold coins, when there is a premise of 'timeliness that will disappear in less than a few years', no matter how big the nobles are, they will consider it carefully.

In the same way, when it comes to Arthur, although the investment is reduced to 3000 gold coins, this problem also needs to be considered.

Therefore, Arthur is very concerned about [Note 5], and the optimized [Dead Soldier Elixir] greatly reduces the effect of the Elixir itself on the life span of the Dead Soldier.

How much has that weakened?

Arthur immediately asked Bob.

"If you take the [Dead Soldier Elixir] that has not been optimized, you can only live for 5-10 years at most, and I have taken the [Dead Soldier Elixir] twice to break this shackle.

But I was the only one who survived taking two [Dead Soldier Elixir]. ”

It doesn't take [eyes like torches] or [words and looks] for Arthur to clearly see the memories and pain in Bob's eyes as he speaks.

'Was the original intention of the optimization potion for comrades-in-arms?' ’

Arthur guessed.

After the end of the 'Seven Years' War, the soldiers who left with Bob should have also taken the [Dead Soldier Potion].

With the end of their lives, these soldiers may have tried to take the Dead Elixir a second time, but they all failed.

Arthur thought to himself, and Bob's voice in his ear continued—

"After taking the optimized [Dead Soldier Elixir], you can live for at least 25 years!"

Arthur didn't ask Bob how he could arrive at such accurate figures.

However, when he learned that each 'dead man' could live for more than 25 years, Arthur knew that his 'Miss Qiu Security Company' could be listed.

3000 gold coins each?

Then let's go with 30 of them!

With Harris's '10w black gold', Arthur is not worried about the early 'Dead Man' build, these people will become members of his [Black Cats].

And with the development of coastal trade, especially with the premise of 'tax exemption', Arthur believed that the number of 'dead soldiers' under his command would increase steadily.

30 The dead came.

Will 3000 dead be far away?

10,000 dead soldiers is not a dream either!

The corners of Arthur's mouth curled slightly, and he looked forward to that day.

And now?

It is to select the initial members.

The necessary conditions are that there is no father, no mother, no wife and no children, and that they are in good health.

And none of this is something for Arthur to worry about.

There are so many people in Rats Street who fit the same bill, and Wiggins can handle it all.

In fact, just when Bob appeared, Fawkin had already gone to inform Wiggins.

Wiggins will be able to arrive soon.

However, before Wiggins arrives, Arthur has one more thing to do -

Come out, my 'bandaged swordsman'!
