Da da da.
In the southern part of the Ruhr neighborhood, on a quiet rainy night, there were a few sounds of fingers tapping on the door.
"Excuse me?"
"Chatlain, ghostly shadow, red rose."
The person inside the door was silent for a long time, "Custer, the shadow of the ghost, the dark dragon."
The person outside the door lowered the brim of his hat, opened his plump red lips and said, "Open the door."
Squeak.
The door opened, and a petite figure appeared. The flickering candle light in the room illuminated the glasses on her face, "You shouldn't have come to Custer at this time."
Outside the door, Hong Rose held a lantern in her hand and stepped in. "Did something happen?"
"A lot of things have indeed happened in the city-state these days..."
"For example?" Hong Rose pulled down her hood, revealing a deep ravine, with a pair of bright eyes showing a bit of indifference.
Dark Dragon shook his head, "I haven't found out the specific information yet, but judging from the current situation, at least the people from the Abyss Sect have arrived here."
"Sacrifice ceremony?"
"It should be. In addition, a deep sea monster appeared on the edge of the city-state a few days ago. This is a very ominous sign."
"Monster of the deep sea?" Red Rose frowned slightly, "Do you know who it is?"
"Not sure, I didn't dare look at it."
Thick glasses obscured most of An Long's face, and her slightly curly long hair made her look slightly dull.
"Sir, why are you here this time?"
"Taking care of some things. Well, you should know the location of the intelligence officer, right?"
"Intelligence officer? Are you talking about the wizard apprentice who was left in the open?"
"It's him."
The corners of Hong Rose's mouth turned up slightly, "He has indeed been promoted to wizard apprentice now, and he is still a high-level one."
"Higher? I saw him more than a month ago. At that time, he hadn't learned the meditation method yet. Could it be a mistake?"
Dark Dragon looked at her suspiciously. She was promoted from an ordinary person to a high-level apprentice in one month. How could such a talent come to Custer to serve as a low-level intelligence officer?
"I also want to know this..."
…
…
Sitting in the studio, Wayne felt that Claire was lying down to rest, and then he took back his mental power.
Looking at the low-quality anti-bacterial potion just made on the table, he fell into deep thought.
I remember Franta and the others said last time that the magician of the Blood Spirit School had a success rate of only 25%.
Only one of the four bottles can be successful, and it may not be perfect.
In other words, most potion masters who make anti-exotic potions lose money?
Wayne thought for a moment and made a decision.
In order not to be so conspicuous, he only planned to take out ten copies. He said that 20 copies of the materials were only half the success.
Among these ten bottles, four bottles are perfect grade, two bottles are excellent grade, two bottles are excellent grade, and two bottles are inferior grade.
Excluding the two perfect levels promised to Franta and the others, he can also earn 360 gold pounds from the remaining eight bottles of magic potion, plus the remaining ten ingredients for making anti-antigen potions...
"It's quite a lot."
1,600 gold pounds is only the money that can be earned in theory. If he really wants to trade with 19 bottles of perfect magic-level magic potion, the entire Blood Spirit School will be on his radar.
It's better to be more cautious.
Although it was a pity that he had lost so many gold pounds, but thinking about it from another perspective, the success rate of making anti-epidemic potions was 50%, which was already much more exaggerated than other potion masters.
Based on the calculation that 20 production materials are worth 400 gold pounds, the ten bottles of magic potion he sold are worth 560 gold pounds - not only did he not lose money, but he also made an additional 160 gold pounds.
Thinking of this, Wei En took out 9 ingredients for making the anti-bacterial potion.
Then he used the blue and white boxes to exchange them with ghosts to make materials for enlightenment potions, healing potions, and metal materials for making bullets.
"The gold pounds are empty again..."
Wei En sighed. The enlightenment potion was consumed a lot during this period, especially when fighting those abyssal creatures.
The same is true for bullets. If you want to unleash the power of a sniper rifle, you can't do it without bullets.
In order to avoid falling into that embarrassing situation, he could only spend more gold pounds and be as prepared as possible.
The cost of making a bottle of enlightenment potion is 15 shillings, while the cost of making a bullet is 3 shillings...
His more than 300 gold pounds seemed like a lot, but it was only enough for 400 bottles of enlightenment potion or 2,000 rounds of ammunition.
This does not include labor costs.
Wei En looked at the production materials piled on the ground. It was too time-consuming for one person to deal with them. In desperation, he had to take up Type Zero's learning time.
Within a few moments, the entire studio was bustling with activity.
On one side, Wei En was concentrating on making anti-virus potions, enlightenment potions and healing potions, while on the other side, Ms. Zombie was taking Zero and using a drill press to make bullets.
It wasn't until he saw Sharapova and the others making bullets with his own eyes that he realized how good free labor was.
Even if he were allowed to make it by hand, one bullet would take one minute, but Type Zero could already reduce the time to 30 seconds.
They even taught themselves how to work on the assembly line without any teachers. Sharapova was responsible for the rough production and Zero was responsible for the final refinement. They could make a bullet in 20 seconds at the fastest.
If it were their speed - if he could open a factory, he could count the money while lying down.
At 9:10, he produced ten anti-evil potions and sent them to two wizards from the Blood Spirit School through nightmare worms to complete the transaction contract and received 360 gold pounds and a letter of thanks.
At 11:30, he completed the production of 100 enlightenment potions and 100 healing potions, leaving 70% for his own use and preparing to trade the rest to Franta.
Before Wei En finished making these potions, Zero and the others had already produced 1,000 rounds of bullets and watched and learned how to make the potions.
There was no emotion in Sharva's pale eyes, but when she saw Wei En's fluent potion making process, she felt as if there was a stone stuck in her throat and felt very uncomfortable.
Whether you can learn or not...
On the contrary, Type Zero looked at it with great interest and muttered: "Enlightenment potion, production time is 20 seconds. First put in the source of the resentful spirit, stir clockwise for three times, then put in the brain flower, 3 seconds..."
It was obvious that Zero didn't know anything about potions at all, he just knew every step by heart.
But Wei En didn't dare let him start making the potion so early.
As I said before, making potions step by step can certainly increase the success rate, but success does not mean that the quality of the potion is good.
Even if there are two materials of the same quality, their fusion process is different, which requires the potion master to understand the differences and respond at any time.
In the end, Zero Type also discovered this and asked in confusion: "Father, the production process and order of each potion are different?"
Wei En comforted: "Just remembering the recipe and steps is not enough. You need to practice it, but there is no need to rush now, just take your time."
He now finally understands the hardships of growing up as a rune scholar or potion master.
Even if Zero can make bullets and some parts, and can remember the steps of the potion making process, it still takes a lot of time to grow up.
And, how much time do other wizards have to learn this?
Perhaps the wizards of the Ghost School are better, at least they don't have to spend a lot of time meditating.
"You guys, please continue making bullets here. I'm going back to my room."
"Okay, Father."
Sharapova nodded, "Yeah."
Wayne once again exchanged some metal materials, leaving Sharapova and Zero in the studio to make bullets, while he returned to the attic bedroom.
[Congratulations, have a safe day. Evaluation: It seems that you have already experienced the excitement of the world. Reward: Survival Points +3. 】
Have another safe day...
Is it exciting?
If encountering the Abyss Sect and the Desire Sect can be considered wonderful, then what should a truly peaceful and comfortable life look like?
Wayne looked out the window. Under the cloudy night sky with the red moon hanging high, he could only vaguely see the outline of Custer.
The clearest thing is the Krims Cathedral not far away - on the dial of the bell tower, the spiers are lit up with the light of dawn.
Believers who believe in dawn will sleep peacefully when they see this scene at night, right?
Uh-huh!
"What are you thinking about? If I can study and live in the Ghost School, I can sleep peacefully..."
Wayne closed the curtains and felt energetic again.
Now he is only 110, no, 109 spiritual level away from being promoted to an official wizard.
Just when he was busy making potions, the four original sub-bodies gave him an increase of 1 spiritual level and 0.1 toughness level.
After understanding the panel during this period, there are three ways to obtain basic attributes.
One is to kill extraordinary beings or aberrations.
The second is to learn new runes or new potion recipes.
The last one is to come into contact with various hidden existences or knowledge, such as Mitra, the Lord of Desire, Gonzalez language, taboo objects, etc...
But given his current situation, the safest and lowest-cost method is the second way.
To be precise, it is the level of proficiency in drawing and upgrading runes.
With Wei En's current remaining 601 survival points, he can upgrade 60 runes to the full level and obtain a 120 spiritual level reward, which is enough for him to be promoted to an official wizard.
However, he still wanted to wait.
At least you need to increase the skills you have learned to the point where you cannot upgrade them in a short time before you advance.
Mechanical box, cornerstone, puppet manipulation...
These spells and skills only require three digits of survival points to upgrade. Calculated this way, he is still short of 3,600 survival points.
Wei En rubbed his chin and thought, is 3600 survival points too many?
How about not only upgrading the ghost meditation method to one level, but also sprinting to become a formal wizard?
In this way, he only needs to save 1,000 more survival points.
Wei En counted the number of skills on the panel. Excluding Gonzalez and Spearmanship, he had learned a total of 17 spells and skills.
Come to think of it, there are not many wizard apprentices within the Ghost School who can learn this number of spells and upgrade them to a high level, right?
"That's it. I'll advance if I save 1,000 survival points!"
After making his decision, a smile appeared on Wei En's lips.
I don’t know what kind of talent he will awaken when he is promoted to an official wizard. It would be best if he had the kind of talent that could increase his combat power hundreds or thousands of times and blow up the world with one punch...
Thinking like this, Wei En took out the Nightmare Realm admission ticket, entered the Nightmare Realm world, and came to the tower in the transit area again.
"Well, the number has reached 44."
Only two days had passed since the gathering in the tower. His original power had increased by 11 points, and the number displayed in Gonzalez language on his forehead reached 44.
Almost the same as the organizer of the last party, Wizard Nana.
"...Have you heard? The heroic saint of the Dawn Church has swept two city-states and killed hundreds of extraordinary people."
"Her deeds have been spreading in the past two days. I heard that the Despair Sect suffered the worst losses, with two director-level officers killed."
"Not only is the saint blessed by the source of dawn, but she also possesses a forbidden object. If she resists it at the level of a director, she won't even be able to escape."
"Be careful. Fortunately, she is only active in the Eastern Continent now, otherwise..."
Um?
The saint who gained heroic authority from the Church of Dawn?
Wei En heard the chatting of several extraordinary people next to him and thought to himself: Is her strength so terrifying? Killing director-level extraordinary beings casually?
"Lord Faceless?"
"it's me."
Franta had noticed his appearance for a long time, but the bright number 44 made him frightened and he did not dare to speak easily.
With this level of original power, I'm afraid Lord Faceless will soon be promoted to a great wizard, right?
"Sorry, I, I was shocked by your numbers..."
"Just good luck,"
"This is not just luck. Your knowledge and strength must be far beyond my imagination."
At his compliment, Wei En just smiled and said, "It's probably the same as your blood wizards acquiring the corpses of high-level priests."
Franta: "..."
Although this is true, the wizards of their Blood Spirit School have now stopped.
However, he knew that the faceless Lord was just talking, so he didn't get too entangled.
"Your Excellency, my two seniors, Lance and Wizard Sickle, have received the anti-exotic potion you sent and asked me to thank you."
"No need to thank you. If they hadn't provided the formula and production materials, I wouldn't have been able to learn how to make the anti-exotic potion."
"Well..." Franta hesitated and said, "They want to order some more anti-bacterial potions from you, especially the perfect ones."
Here comes the business!
Wayne pretended to think for a moment, "Let's talk about it later. I have other more important things to do in the past two days."
As a talented potion master, you have to maintain a certain style.
"Of course, of course, the two bottles of perfect anti-bacterial potion you provided are enough for them to absorb for a few days." Franta breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't refuse in person, it would be easy for him to go back.
Wei En glanced around and said, "Listen to the conversation of those people just now, that heroic saint has already been dispatched?"
"That's true..."
Franta smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest with you, all the wizards from our school in the Eastern Continent during this period have either gone into hiding or found a way to leave the Eastern Continent."
"I don't dare to show up in the places where I usually go. I'm worried that the saint will point the finger at them."
"I remember you said last time that the acquired corpses will be buried after use. So the Church of Dawn will also take action against the wizards of your Blood Spirit School?"
"On the surface, they all maintain restraint, but when something like a new saint comes up, they will inevitably show off their personal strength."
"That's right," Wayne nodded, "Then do you know where she is now?"
"I heard that she is now in the middle of the Eastern Continent, close to the city-state of Willis in the Drake Republic." After Franta finished speaking, she asked cautiously: "You are also in the Eastern Continent, are you worried that she will go to you?"
"There may be such concerns, but they have little to do with me." Wei En did not avoid this question.
Ever since he knew that the Black Pearl's target was the Krimos Cathedral, he had been wondering what cards those Basques and Black Jacks had.
You must know that the Church of Dawn was able to establish the city-state of Custer on the west coast where the Church of Storms has the strongest power, and the number of clergymen it left behind in Krims Cathedral exceeded imagination.
Wayne still remembered the people he saw when he went to the cathedral to perform a mission. There were hundreds of guardian knights in the outer circle, and there were even more clergymen inside the church.
In addition, Claire said that the combat power of these priests is crazy. I am afraid that even a few director-level extraordinary people will have to be blocked if they want to force their way in, right?
"That's good,"
Franta let out a sigh of relief. He finally found such a thick thigh, and he didn't want to lose contact.
"I heard that the saint is heading west. I don't think she will meet you."
All the way west?
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
Wei En secretly thought that if he bumped into a saint when the Black Pearl launched its attack... then he would have fun.
"Um,"
Wei En did not continue to ask, but skillfully summoned the nightmare worm, "This time I brought some enlightenment potions and healing potions, let's trade."
"no problem,"
The smile on Franta's face couldn't even be blocked by the twisted black shadow, "The potions you traded for me last time were all bought by a few familiar wizards, and I made a small profit. pound."
"Yeah?"
Wayne didn't mind Franta's behavior as a middleman to earn the price difference.
As long as he could steadily cash out the potions in his hands, he would have the money needed to maintain a normal study and life.
It didn't take long for Wayne to exit the nightmare world and complete the deal with Franta through the nightmare worm.
Seeing that the money in his pocket once again returned to 370 gold pounds, he couldn't express his satisfaction. He would never have to go back to the days of eating black bread every day...
Um?
Come again? !
"Good afternoon, Mr. Wizard."
"...Good evening, Mr. Leonard." Wayne looked at Tina who suddenly appeared in the bedroom, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.
Really, if you can't be happy for more than three seconds, something bad will happen...
"It looks like you don't welcome me very much?"
Tina's eyes turned blood red, an exaggerated smile appeared on her face, and her two pointed tiger teeth shone coldly.
The clown doll stood next to her, with its open palms resting on her shoulders, as if it was controlling her body in this way.
"How is that possible? You're very welcome. You're most welcome." Wayne laughed dryly, "I wonder if Mr. Leonard is going to play any show tonight when he comes over?"
"No, no, not tonight."
The white-haired girl waved her hands and said excitedly: "I found an interesting place and I will take you there to have a look."
"A fun place? Custer City State?"
"Of course," 'Tina' snapped her fingers and her body slowly fell to the ground softly.
Wayne looked at the clown doll and opened its mouth, let out a long sigh of relief, and asked with his mouth wide open: "You, can you move freely without using her body?!"
"Who told you that I had to borrow her body?"
The clown doll stretched, "On the contrary, if I leave her for too long, her body will collapse and become deformed."
"But I have to admit, this little girl's strength is really terrifying. She almost crushed me to pieces."
"You mean you are trying to protect Tina?"
Wei En was stunned for a moment, this was different from what he had learned before.
I remember Lacey said before that the only way to prevent Tina's body from becoming deformed is to sign a partnership contract with someone else.
Why now...
"Is it weird?"
The clown doll raised his hand and pulled off the button eye, and his hands turned into afterimages to sew the button back, "Don't compare me to other taboo objects. Under normal circumstances, I'm quite friendly, right?"
Wayne: "...Yes."
If we exclude summoning three abyss creatures to fight him to the death, it can indeed be considered friendly...
"It's a long story. In fact, it's my first time to encounter a calamity species. This experience is quite interesting."
"But in Tina's spiritual world, I saw you being suppressed by her. Would that be interesting?"
The clown doll looked sideways at him, with a big smile on its furry face, "Has anyone ever told you that some things shouldn't be said too bluntly?"
Wayne curled his lips. He felt less and less afraid of this forbidden object.
"It's hard for me to understand your behavior..."
"It's okay if you don't understand, just like I don't understand the speed of your strength improvement."
"Um, I..."
"Stop! Don't look at me like that," the clown doll raised his hand to interrupt: "Don't tell lies that even the simplest people can tell. It's really stupid to do that."
"In these long years, I only remember one thing, and that is to find Lilith. So if you help me, I will naturally help you. It's a fair deal, isn't it?"
Wei En looked at him blankly: "You don't look crazy at all now."
He really can't explain the speed of his strength improvement. Anyone who has been in contact with him for a period of time will probably find that there is something wrong with the speed of his strength improvement.
Such sincere and normal words came from the mouth of a taboo, which really overturned the three views he had finally established during this period.
"Crazy? Hehehahaha..."
The clown doll danced and laughed: "In the future, you will find that it is not me who is crazy, but the whole world!"
"Then I hope I never make such a discovery..."
"That's not up to you. Okay, it's getting late. If you're later, you'll miss a good show."
"Um?"
Before Wei En could react, the clown doll snapped its fingers, and the two of them instantly appeared in another place.
"The great Lord of the Deep Abyss, the King of Darkness! We call you with our blood and souls, with burning flames and overflowing curses. In this dark night, we beg you to grant us pain..."
In an empty and deep forest, under the pouring rain, countless ragged but handsome people knelt on the ground piously and praised in unison.
From time to time, a person would leave the crowd, pick up a dagger and cut open his chest, take out his trembling heart and place it on the altar in the middle...
Wei En glanced at the surrounding scene, is this?
(End of chapter)
