"Eli!"
Soon Eli came to the library, and Herman had just arrived, but at this time he had an unconcealable smile on his face, and he didn't know what good thing he had encountered.
The two of them walked towards the second floor together.
Eli didn't ask, because he knew Herman would definitely say it.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, Heman, who was following Eli, saw that Eli didn't respond, so he took the initiative to come forward and said, "Eli, I am so happy today."
"Oh!" Eli nodded and continued walking.
Seeing that Eli ignored him, Herman suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, as if he was constipated, but after a few seconds he couldn't help but moved forward and said: "Eli, do you remember what I said before that I was cheated? ?”
"Remember, why, you went gambling again, weren't you afraid that the teacher would beat you to death?" Eli turned his head at this time and looked at Herman in confusion.
With this kid's IQ, he can do anything.
"How is it possible? Didn't I tell you before that I was dragged there by someone else?" Herman quickly denied it, then leaned into Eli's ear and whispered: "That person is dead."
"?" Eli was confused.
"Yes, it seems that he was beaten to death by someone from the casino. Tsk tsk tsk. Although it is really pitiful, I am really happy." Herman sighed, and then added: "He defrauded me of my money, but lost it. Life, I won’t lose anything this time!”
Why is Ah Q trying to comfort himself?
"His name is Evans!" Heman said suddenly as the two were walking.
Evans?
Hearing this familiar name, Eli was stunned. Isn't this the young man who led him to be deceived that day?
"Oh, by the way, there is also that casino. It seems that its performance has been very poor recently. It also closed a few days ago!"
Mocha Casino also closed.
Eli admitted that he did make some money there, and he went there a few times later. Even though he made a small profit, it went bankrupt immediately. He still underestimated the ability of these casinos to withstand pressure.
But that's not necessarily the case. Maybe other casinos want to annex it. Originally, Mocha Casino was not a very big casino, it could only be said to be a medium-sized casino.
"I heard that it was an outsider who did it. It's a pity that he is here, otherwise I would have knocked him on the spot." Herman was amazed and said with a smile.
Eli smiled and said nothing.
Soon, after visiting Maester Lemon, the two began to work.
…
After the casino thing is over.
Eli's life has also returned to two points and one line, wandering between home and the library, and occasionally going to the base in the valley outside the city to conduct some experiments.
During this period, there was no news from Count Gremory, and Eli was enjoying his leisure time.
With sufficient funds, Eli also purchased a large amount of materials from Roland for experiments.
Of course, in order to prevent Roland from becoming suspicious, he also used witchcraft to blur Roland's memory so that it would not be leaked. After all, trust is trust, but the due caution cannot be lost.
Anyway, to the outside world, he is just a scholar without any fighting ability.
He can improve his status and social circle without any scruples, but he will never expose his strength. The former will only make everyone think that the empire has a good scholar, and those in high positions will not care too much, and it will even make him safer. But the latter may scare some people.
And only if his social circle improves, can he obtain more resources.
It is for the sake of development, not for the sake of development.
…
"The 136th experiment failed!"
In the laboratory, Eli calmly discarded the experimental waste again. Although he failed, he was not discouraged because as time passed, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to completing the first stage.
It has been a month since the experiment, and every time it failed.
"No hurry!" Eli took out a new material from the side and continued to experiment.
For a moment, the bright basement fell into silence again, with only the sound of Eli operating instruments.
"The one hundred and thirty-seventh experiment failed."
"The 138th experiment failed."
…
"The 201st experiment failed."
…
"Experiment 301, successful!"
Three months later, Eli finally succeeded in the first stage.
Eli looked at the roughly configured potion in front of him, and it actually faintly emitted a kind of fluctuation that was close to spiritual power. He felt a little excited, and finally found the experimental material that was substituted in the original formula.
The next step is to adjust the analogy of these materials and then finally concoct the potion.
"When the time comes, my mental power will grow rapidly, maybe it won't take that long!" Eli was also a little happy.
His mental power should currently be around 6.3, and it will increase at a rate of about 0.5 per year, which will take 7.4-8 years. If it can be deployed, this will greatly shorten this time.
Although he doesn't care much about time, this promotion will relieve him of a lot of worries.
Once promoted to the second-class apprentice, his combat effectiveness will increase again. He is not sure about the high knight, but under the high knight, he will definitely be beaten casually, and his survivability will also increase.
Even if it is really exposed by then, there is no need to worry so much, and the worst is to run away.
"The next step is the second phase, which is the detailed replacement."
Eli took a deep breath and prepared to continue the experiment.
But when he went to get the materials, he discovered that at some point, all the experimental materials had been used up, and there was nothing left.
"Looks like we have to go find Roland again." Since there was no more material, Eli could only do other work.
As for continuing the experiment, we have to wait for the arrival of a new batch of materials.
…
"Are there no more purple iris flowers?"
Eli looked confused in the familiar room.
"Yes." Roland nodded and said helplessly: "I have all the other materials you want, and I can collect them for you, but this purple iris is really not available right now!"
"Why?" Eli was still a little confused.
He came over today to order materials from Roland, but was told that the purple iris flower in the materials was unavailable.
But purple iris is the most important ingredient in the potion and is completely irreplaceable. If it were not available, his potion experiment could be declared bankrupt.
"It's like this. Purple iris can only be found in Locke Manor outside the city, and it seems to be a unique plant here. It was transplanted from a very far away place. A few days ago, Locke Manor suddenly stopped selling it together. It seems that it is not ready. Then sell it!" Roland explained.
"This!" Eli gasped.
This...his experiment can't be continued?
"I really can't help it. Oh, by the way, that manor belongs to the Elena family of the Marquis family. Don't you know Count Gremory? He seems to be very familiar with the Elena family. Maybe you can seek his help. ." Roland gave a piece of advice.
Elena family.
When Roland said this, Eli remembered the dance more than half a year ago. Didn't Alex belong to the Elena family? It's a pity that he has no channel to contact him at all, and the two of them are not familiar with each other.
However, he needs to be more familiar with Count Gremory, and maybe he can really get help from him.
"Sorry, I couldn't help you!" Roland apologized.
"It doesn't matter, I'm glad you can find others for me." Eli smiled. He had no reason to blame Roland.
"Then I'll leave first." Since he didn't have any materials, Eli wasn't going to stay any longer. He said hello to Roland and left.
On the way home, Eli also had mixed feelings.
It is really frustrating that a good experiment faces the risk of premature death.
"We can only ask through Count Gremory's channels."
Eli thought and quickly returned home.
When I walked into the yard, I found a letter in the mailbox at the door.
Eli opened it and found that it belonged to Lord Gremory.
The letter told him that the remaining horses had arrived at the racecourse and hoped that he would come over.
