The silvery white viscous juice surged in the graphite crucible. In the dark room of the church underground, Ma Wei, who was covered with a veil, covered the pot lid and turned to Jielan beside him, extending his hand.
"Hearttail grass."
Jie Lan quickly handed over a dark green plant that was only as long as a finger, with many buds, and the core of the buds was glowing with golden curls.
This plant only grows in high latitudes and is adapted to cold climate conditions. It can survive even in snow-covered winters. It does not rely on sunlight, but hides deep underground. It only burrows during the budding period. Out of the ground.
Because the buds are golden, many people mistakenly think that the core of the bud is the most precious part of the cordgrass. In fact, the most useful part of the cordgrass is the inconspicuous rhizome, but the core of the bud is highly toxic.
Ma Wei, wearing leather gloves, carefully picked off the golden buds from the hearttail grass and threw them into a glass jar aside for preservation. Although the core of the hearttail grass buds is poisonous, it can also be used to make potions. Likewise, valuable.
After removing all the golden buds, the hearttail grass became bare. Ma Wei picked up a knife and peeled off the green outer skin, revealing the white rhizome inside, with a golden line in the middle of the rhizome.
The formula of the magic potion is very strict, and the dosage of materials is clearly defined. For example, the formula of the advanced magic potion Mercury Blood requires 1 pint of high-purity mercury, 1 ounce of peeled rhizome of Hearttail grass, half an ounce of white aphid resin and A soul obsidian.
The quality and size of the soul obsidian can affect the final product of Mercury Blood. If it is the soul obsidian left behind after the death of the Bone Giant, it can make the god temporarily lose his power, and he will be paralyzed on the ground as if he has been drugged. action.
The Bone Giant was turned into powder by the Black Sun, and no soul obsidian was left. The soul obsidian collected by Jie Lan came from the undead created by the Bone Giant - the Death Knight. Its power and status are almost the same as those of the three generations of vampires, and its quality is I can only say that it is quite satisfactory.
The mercury blood made from the death knight's soul obsidian is extremely lethal to the next generation of vampires. It can make the next generation of vampires such as Jielan and Louise completely lose their ability to resist, leaving them to be slaughtered.
Even a first-generation vampire like Edward will be affected by mercury blood. The specific degree of influence depends on the quality of mercury blood. The higher the quality, the greater the impact.
After weighing the grams, Ma Wei followed the steps in the "Magic Potion Recipes", opened the lid of the pot, first dropped the 1-ounce peeled rhizome of Hearttail into the mercury, then picked up the glass pestle and began to follow the steps. The hour hand stirs the thick mercury.
The white rhizome gradually disappeared into the mercury, and the golden lines in the rhizome gradually merged with the mercury. On the silver-white surface, there seemed to be a golden glow flowing.
Seeing that the peeled rhizome of Hearttail Grass was completely fused with the dried mercury inside, Ma Wei stopped stirring, carefully picked up the glass test tube on the shelf beside the table, pinched the rubber ring, and dripped fourteen drops of faint blue resin into it. In the pot.
Snapped!
As soon as the resin came into contact with the mercury, there was a slight explosion sound, as if it was resisting the fusion with the mercury, rolling on the surface, like water droplets on a hot pot, refusing to merge no matter what.
This is a normal phenomenon. Ma Wei quickly covered the pot, listened to the crackling and popping sounds in the crucible, walked out of the underground dark room, took off his mask and took a deep breath.
Mercury is poisonous. He stayed in a closed space for too long, and his brain was dizzy, showing signs of poisoning. Jielan and Edward were fine and unaffected by the mercury, but Ma Wei had to come out to breathe.
】
Jielan originally planned to make mercury blood by himself, but Ma Wei thought this opportunity was rare and wanted to experience the feeling of making potions with his own hands, so he asked Jielan to be his deputy.
It's always good to know more, Ma Wei thinks so.
After breathing fresh air for a few minutes and regaining some clarity in his groggy brain, Mavey put on the mask again and returned to the underground darkroom.
The crackling and popping sound in the graphite crucible has stopped. When the lid is lifted, the faint blue white resin has merged with the mercury, and the four colors of silver, gold, blue and gray are perfectly blended.
Next comes the final step.
Ma Wei sprinkled the soul obsidian ground into fine powder into the pot, poured the powder slowly with one hand, and stirred quickly with a glass pestle with the other hand, allowing the powder to completely dissolve into the mercury. In the process, a strong smoke naturally It rose in the pot, even though it was not heated, it still heated up rapidly.
Ma Wei held his breath, avoiding the rising white mist, and kept stirring. The mercury in the pot seemed to evaporate, and the water level dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye. When a whole soul obsidian powder was poured into... ..
The liquid that was originally mixed with the four colors has turned red and is as thick as some kind of glue, making it difficult to stir.
Seeing the silver-white mercury turn into crimson, Ma Wei's eyes lit up, he pulled out the glass pestle and asked Jielan to bring the beaker, and let the prepared magic potion fall naturally into the beaker along the glass pestle.
The advanced magic potion Mercury Blood is a typical fire-free magic potion that can be made without heating. The most dangerous part is the mercury vapor emitted by the evaporation of mercury, which is highly toxic. If you are not careful, you will be infected. The difficulty is not high, even a novice like Ma Wei can complete it easily.
"This...is this the blood of mercury?" Jie Lan held the beaker in both hands, fearing it would fall and break. He looked at the thick red liquid in the cup and said with a trembling voice.
"According to the introduction in the "Compendium of Magic Potion Formulas", it should be correct." Ma Wei put the lid on the pot, took Jielan out of the underground darkroom, closed the door and said, "As for the dosage, there is no specific standard given above. .”
"The Encyclopedia of Magic Potion Formulas" only states the formula, but does not specify the detailed dosage. There is only one sentence, "Use as appropriate according to the actual situation."
according to actual condition....
What is the actual situation?
The next generation of vampires?
But the problem is that Ma Wei doesn't know how much mercury blood can be effective on the next generation of vampires!
If it was to kill Louise, then the higher the dose, the better. However, Ma Wei wanted to use the blood of mercury to save the vampires. This behavior was probably something neither the recorder nor the creator had thought of.
"It doesn't matter!"
Jielan gritted his teeth and said, "I'll test the medicine for Louise!"
Without waiting for Ma Wei to dissuade him, Jie Lan drank the red liquid in the beaker in one gulp, enough to reach his ears, that is, 148 ml of mercury blood was consumed by him.
Pacha!
The glass beaker smashed to pieces on the solid stone floor. Jielan's body fell to the ground with a thump, his hands pinching his throat, his eyes wide open, his face pale, as if he couldn't breathe, and he was struggling in pain With.
When Edward saw this scene, he frowned slightly and wanted to come to the rescue, but was stopped by Ma Wei.
"We want to record the complete symptoms of the next blood race after taking 1 ear of mercury blood." Ma Wei said in a deep voice: "Don't let Jie Lan's efforts go in vain."
