"Your price is learning."
"Knowledge is power?" Melina smiled, then showed no expression, because the joke was indeed not funny.
But Delise didn't look joking and looked at her quietly.
This stalemate lasted about ten seconds.
Melina gradually frowned:
"Are you kidding?"
A fake smile appeared on Delise's pretty face:
"Why are I joking with you, dear Xiaomei. To buy my products, you only need to do one thing, and that is to study. Only by studying can you buy my products. This is about a secret occult ritual. I I want to see if I can get my learning speed bonus from you through this ritual."
"A reasonable explanation."
Also a reasonable excuse.
Melina knew that what Delise wanted was far more than that, and that she also hid too many secrets, but Melina could not find out these secrets, because these secrets were as outrageous as the occult. Anyway, no one knows why a bunch of heavy metals can finally be made into a good medicine to treat people's diseases.
Even Melina, who is familiar with the nature of magic factors and occult science, doesn’t understand it because she doesn’t have time to understand it.
Melina's speed in analyzing the world is limited, but her knowledge is unlimited. She prefers to understand the nature of magic and why they work. She prefers dragons and wants to understand their ecology from the factors in dragons. With habits, these are interesting things, not alchemy.
To be honest, the thousands of mistakes made in alchemy make people impatient. Even Melina, who has a certain degree of future vision, is tired of it.
And the same is true for Delise's secret.
It must be a completely illogical secret. There is no need to inquire about this kind of secret, as long as it is harmless to yourself.
Melina could feel that it was harmless to herself. This was not because she believed in Delise's character, but because she had absolute confidence in her own magic factor reserves. Whether the banshee's little tricks can be effective is essentially a proportional contest between the amount of magic factors.
2 times the magic factor reserve of the caster can reduce the effective time.
4 times is basically ineffective.
If it exceeds 4 times, it will definitely not take effect, as long as the opponent does not want to be tricked.
For Delise, Melina is an opponent that cannot be tricked by small means. She must attack from the front in an upright manner to be effective. To put it simply, in terms of overall strength, Delise is better than Melina, but when it comes to magic factor reserves, Melina has no one to fear.
"Is there anything else besides this?"
Melina put away her phone and dismantled the thing in the alchemy room of the Belen house when she was about to go back to the Belen house. The main reason is to keep it a secret from Sonia, who has a very sensitive reaction to Melina's contact with some strange people.
Maybe during the week, Melina went berserk because of someone she came into contact with?
It's not impossible.
In fact, Sonia would be more wary of Melina if she was in a situation where she was watched for many weeks. Because among these multiple butterfly effect episodes, there will always be a episode where "Melina becomes an explorer without being disabled". Maybe in this case Melina also went berserk because of something.
"No."
Delise said with a smile:
"Only sell one piece at a time. Is this what we agreed to do?"
"...Then take out what I want to learn."
Melina crossed her arms and said.
"okay."
Delise wore a smile, a smile that made Melina uneasy. The beautiful succubus took out two thick books from her pocket and put them on the table. The first one was called "On the Nature of Alchemy" by Lena Adams. It was an annoying book across the ages. , the author is a young lady who loves to write about millinery.
Millinery is a kind of movie that is full of the "love girl brain" atmosphere. There are often content such as "a poor girl who speaks in a chant", "a poor family who only spends 200 gold lei a day" and so on.
Therefore, "On the Nature of Alchemy" is actually a millinery book, but due to the author's extremely high theoretical level, he does explain in detail 'what alchemy is, why the results of alchemy are non-toxic, what to do if the semi-finished products are poisonous', etc. question. The price of a single copy is 15 gold lei, which is not cheap and complicated, but Lina is indeed one of the few banshees who has seen through the essence of alchemy and written about it.
"...I don't want to specialize in alchemy."
Although Melina can indeed make various high-level potions, she is indeed not someone who specializes in alchemy. The reason why she can make high-level potions is very simple, that is, Melina's talents are far beyond the limits of ordinary people. Her all-round concept has the grand blueprint of "the best in the history of all professions". But alchemy is a real headache.
You never know why your potion exploded.
Did you add more salt? Or forgot to aim in a specific direction?
But a promise is a promise.
Melina took it silently.
The second book is "The Encyclopedia of Horse Girls in the World and Beyond", written by George Maia Greyjos.
This is an ecological illustrated book of horsegirls that is scary as it took the author many years of tracking to collect it. It covers all the horsegirl species in the entire Seven Kingdoms, as well as those outside the seven kingdoms, such as the abyss, Hades, etc. For example, the alien horse girl. The explanations and explanations are very detailed, and a large number of cited documents are very detailed.
The only problem is that the book is too thick.
And what does it mean to study this book?
Seeing Melina's hesitant expression, Delis said silently:
"You have to read this book from head to toe and when you see a horse girl, the racial information of this horse girl, etc., and the expanded social structure of horse girls will immediately pop up in your mind."
Melina took a breath: "Do I have a grudge against you?"
"Xiaomei, this is your destiny. The sooner you memorize these two books, the sooner you can buy a product."
Delise saluted:
"And now, I have to leave to prevent those annoying guys from coming over to interfere with us again. When you want to see me, you only need to take out a ruby, aim it at the north corner of the Giant Cat constellation, and use the reflective The moonlight can call me. Note that only a few people know about this calling ceremony, and you cannot tell others."
"Want to keep it a secret?"
"It's because if others know this method, it will be troublesome to keep calling me. Such uninvited calls will occupy my channel."
"What a surreal reason."
Delise walked behind a small tree with her hands behind her back, then tilted her head and smiled at Melina, walked behind the slender tree, and disappeared into the air.
This situation can also be said to be mysterious.
Melina held the book, thought about it, and stored it in the storage space assigned to her team members by Lao Ma's system.
This ability is really convenient.
Melina quickly thought about her own development of this ability. The progress is now good. If she has these reference objects as inspiration, she might be able to make it soon.
"Okay, the next step is..."
Keep exercising.
Melina suddenly thought that she needed to take the horse girl's race so seriously? But Delise did say that it was best for her to stay in this state now... Besides, it would also be a good thing to get something back for Lao Ma.
"No matter, continue."
Melina put her thoughts aside and ran.
There is indeed a reason why Ma Niang likes to run. When she has enough physical strength to run, she has a sense of freedom that she can go anywhere in the world with her own feet. As I ran, the sound of the wind in my ears and the breeze I felt on my body were like a frozen poem, full of freehand brushwork.
Those who run at this moment are happy.
Of course, when the physical strength is exhausted, continuing to run is like being tortured by the pain of running on a hamster wheel in hell...
Fortunately, Melina also has ample physical reserves.
Although judging from the body shape, Melina's figure should not be very physical. But her muscles, her blood vessels, and every inch of her skin have evolved to a fairly high degree. While maintaining this appearance, he can still have full explosive power and sustainability.
In the horse girl's race, Melina can completely guarantee that she will finish the entire race.
…
…
Vanessa looked at Melina's data with mixed emotions.
She was careless!
She just thought that Melina, who couldn't even walk yesterday, would be abused when she got on the field. She didn't expect that this birdman would learn to run in one day, and he could run better than her!
The action is too standard.
"It seems that you are very skilled at running the Nova Run." Vanessa forced a fake smile.
Ma Niang's running posture generally falls into two major schools, called Nova and Shiva. The characteristic of Nova is that the steps are relatively large and the center of gravity is lowered while protecting the knees. The disadvantage is obvious, it is not suitable in complex terrain that requires many turns and changes of direction. The Shiva Step is done in the opposite direction. The center of gravity is kept higher and the steps are smaller, so it is easy to change direction. The disadvantage is that it is very tiring.
"Advanced running styles have evolved from these two running styles."
"That's right." Melina nodded, "Then I won't have to study advanced running methods in a short period of time."
Melina has a clear understanding:
"As long as I ensure that my basic skills are good, and that I will not be tired from running with the support of sufficient magic factors, then the next step should be the strategy part, right?"
Vanessa hates such smart students, it will make her role as a trainer useless...
She nodded helplessly:
"Yes, the only problem you have left is strategy."
She paused and suddenly asked curiously:
"By the way, you seemed to be running a little slower just now. Did you encounter something along the way?"
"Um."
Melina said without changing her face or heartbeat:
"I met a rare butterfly, but I didn't catch it. I just stood there and admired it for a while."
"Then when you are running a race, don't stop to admire things like this?" Vanessa joked.
Melina answered seriously:
"That won't happen. My goal in running the race is very simple and direct, and that is to win."
