Chapter 42: The Pharmacist and the Listener

One of the piles is the "Doctor's" potion material:

The horns of an adult one-horned pegasus emit a rainbow of colors that stand out in the white light. The venom crystals of the crown jellyfish are crystalline in color, and the remaining daffodil root powder, golden bamboo leaf juice and spotted tiger grass are relatively ordinary.

The other bunch is not so pretty:

A pair of vivid colorful spiders are constantly moving in the glass box, making a "squeaking" sound. The ripe wolf venom aconitum is dark brown, and all that remains is the auxiliary materials blue mint leaves, cyan snake venom powder, and earthy gemstone powder.

Oliver first measured 100 ml and 80 ml of distilled water prepared in advance and set it aside.

Then light the gas lamp, just like cooking, pick up a round pan made of special metal, pour 100 ml, 5 grams of narcissus root powder, 3 drops of golden bamboo leaf juice, 6 spotted tiger grass and other auxiliary materials into the pan, and after a few seconds, put the unicorn of an adult pegasus and the venom crystals of the crown jellyfish into it in turn.

Poof!

In just a few seconds, I saw that the extraordinary materials in the pot quickly dissolved, and the various colors converged.

Gollum!

The multicolored liquid in the pan begins to take shape quickly, and finally becomes a puddle of colorful crystalline liquid, which glows beautifully under the white light.

Oliver poured the liquid from the pot into the prepared dry test tube, and a surprising scene occurred, the liquid in the pot was like a conjoined baby, and not a single drop was left into the test tube.

"Although the prepared potion should be drunk as soon as possible, it still needs to be confirmed by some means to see if it is safe. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Chris and said, "Take out your pocket watch." ”

Chris was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out "greedy money" from his pocket and handed it to the teacher.

Oliver took the silver chain of his pocket watch and placed it in front of the tube containing the potion and said:

"See clearly, this is the soothsayer's pendulum, and you can judge and verify the answer you want to know by a simple 'yes' or 'no'. ”

Immediately, Oliver read:

"This test-tube potion is harmful. ”

"This test-tube potion is harmful. ”

......

After Oliver read it a few times, the pocket watch, suspended by the silver chain, was making a clockwise rotation that was so small that it was imperceptible.

Looking at the three people who were puzzled, Oliver explained:

"Ordinary low-level Sequence Extraordinaires can also do simple pendulum methods through crystals, but except for the Extraordinaries of the 'Diviner' Sequence Path, the accuracy of other Extraordinaries is not high. However, because this pocket watch is a magical item made by the extraordinary properties of the 'soothsayer', the accuracy of using it for divination is greatly improved. Of course, this small rough application doesn't need to feed it gold.

"If you rotate and indicate 'yes,' it means that what you said is correct, and the magnitude is proportional to the degree to which the words are correct. If it is stationary, it indicates 'no'.

"If the rotation amplitude is very large, it means that the potion is very harmful, and it cannot be drunk in this case. If the rotation is very small like this, or even stop in the middle, it indicates that the potion is very harmful to the human body and can be taken normally. ”

With that, Oliver handed Bonnie the test tube containing the potion.

Bonnie took the test tube with the colorful crystal liquid, closed her eyes without thinking about anything, and drank it all in one go.

Bitter!

Sour!

It's not as appetizing at all as it looks!

It was the only thought in Bonnie's mind, and she felt as if she had swallowed a piece of red-hot coal, burning her mouth and stomach, and then a wave of heat swept through her body.

Seconds later, under the worried gazes of Bert and Chris, Bonnie opened her blue eyes.

"How are you feeling?" asked Bert hurriedly.

Bonnie shook her head, looked at Bert, Chris, and Oliver in a daze, and said:

"At first, I felt that my body was very hot and swollen, and then I felt that this heat flow seemed to enter every cell of mine. And now, I feel like I'm in a clear head, clearer than ever!"

Feeling that every cell in her body seemed to be refreshed, Bonnie exclaimed excitedly, "That's great!"

Then he looked at Oliver uncertainly and asked, "Mr. Hill, did I succeed?"

I saw Oliver smile and nodded:

"Congratulations, Miss Reed, you're now a Sequence 9 Extraordinary, officially a 'Physician'. ”

Immediately, Oliver turned around and put 80 ml of distilled water, 10 blue mint leaves, 5 grams of cyan snake venom powder, 3 grams of earthy gemstone powder, a pair of colorful spiders and 1 mature wolf venom aconitum in a pan.

He began to concoct Bert with his "Listener" potion reagent.

A minute later, Oliver poured the black liquid from the pot into another test tube, and after doing the same pendulum method, the result was that the rotation was a little larger than before, but it was still barely acceptable.

Bert took the dark test tube, which bubbled from time to time, and he felt that just looking at it, his eyes could sink into it, and the noisy sound seemed to ring in his ears.

After staring at it for a few seconds, Bert didn't think about it anymore, took a deep breath, followed Bonnie's example, and raised his head and drank it in one gulp.

However, Bert's reaction to drinking the potion was much greater than that of Bonnie, and he saw Bert's face full of pain, and after a few seconds, he covered his ears and continued to wail in pain on the ground, as if he heard some devil's terrible whisper, and was suffering from cruel mental torment.

This kind of scene directly frightened Bonnie and knelt down to hug Bert, crying while cheering up her brother.

Chris also held Bert's arm on the other side, cheered up his friend, and said loudly:

"Burn, hold on! It's okay, you'll be able to get through, just get through, don't listen, think about Bonnie, think about your dreams, keep your heart! Bert, you can do it!"

After nearly five minutes, Bert, who was curled up on the ground, slowly calmed down, Bonnie took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe the stains on her brother's face, and then Chris slowly helped Bert up.

Looking at the three people who had calmed down, Oliver, who seemed to be relieved, said:

"First of all, congratulations to Bert for persevering and not being defeated by the power in the potion. I believe you have also seen that there are dangers everywhere in the extraordinary world, and this is the lowest level of Sequence 9, and the next extraordinary road will only become more and more difficult and difficult.

"And once you embark on this path, unless you choose not to advance again, not to take the initiative to contact the extraordinary, and to live your life in peace. Otherwise, you need to be cautious at all times, and you can't relax for a moment, because danger is always there!"

Oliver briefly cleaned up the table and led the three of them back to the living room on the first floor.

The three tired immature extraordinaires lay on the sofa to rest, after all, Bert almost lost control just now, and if he didn't persevere, the most likely outcome would be a painful death.

Oliver looked at the three children who had not yet recovered from the thrilling scene, and told Buck, who had come over, to prepare the lunch meal.

The lunch meal was very rich, and it was regarded as a celebration for the brother and sister to drink the potion successfully and become extraordinary.

With Chris's mixture of Chinese and Western, the mixing and matching of the two styles in the past life and this life is different. Buck's cooking table of Irish specialties made Chris's stomach bulge.

After all, Bert and Bonnie used to be from a small aristocratic family, and this Irish specialty was often eaten.

Chris, who grew up in the slums and never ate anything good, let alone authentic Irish premium ingredients and meals, grew up in a slum.

As all three were adults, Oliver stopped Buck from bringing out the champagne and red wine, looked at Bert and Bonnie, and said:

"You two go back and get used to the changes in your body first, I'm sure Chris has explained how to play it to you. You can only summarize the rules of play for yourself, and it is recommended that you understand and analyze them by the names of their potions. If you have any questions, let Chris ask me.

"Of course, the three of you can come over every Sunday for lunch or dinner, Chris is my student, and so are the two of you. ”

After all, it's only Sunday, and they have nothing to do.
