Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 195 Another Alchemy

The relaxed and peaceful Austrian Fa Avenue in the past has gradually become a little tense.

"The Stargate has been out of service for the second day, and the goods I ordered in Europa have not arrived. I am so annoyed. My little snake is going to starve."

"Don't talk about your pets, I'm going to starve. The food stores around me are out of stock, so I can only use points to buy food here."

“But the queue at the grocery store is very long”

Clothing stores, beauty salons, and pet stores that used to be crowded with customers on Offa Avenue are all deserted.On the contrary, there are long queues in front of restaurants, vegetables and fruits, and non-staple food stores.

"So, is Ajiadi about to encounter a food crisis?" Affected by the emotions of passers-by, Ahao also became nervous.

Wende's expression also became serious: "It's only been two days, and there must be a lot of food in reserve. But it's hard to say if the stargate shuts down for a longer time."

"As far as I know, the land around Agadi generally only grows wheat, and everything else is transported by the star gate. Agadi really relies on the star gate."

"No wonder the queue at the bakery is so short, forget it, I'll buy some."

Carrying two bags of delicious slippers, Ah Hao walked into the special material specialty store strongly recommended by Wende—【Akashi】.

Pushing open the door, the crisp wind chime rang.

Dreamcatchers, animal bones and feathers are the first impressions of this store on Ah Hao.

The storefront is not big, about four meters long and wide, and it seems that there is no space expansion.On the various shelves in the store, items are placed in an orderly manner.Fragments of larger materials hang from the ceiling.

The shop was deserted, except for a drowsy half-grown boy sitting behind the counter on the right.

"Ah, hello, do you need to buy something?" After the wind chime sounded, he immediately opened his heavy eyelids.

After he woke up, he spoke very quickly: "I can't accept the order for goods recently. The situation is special. Please understand."

"Boy, check to see if there are any of these things in the store." Wende stepped forward in two steps, and took out a large sheet of paper from his wallet.

"Stag's blood, deer antler, St. John's wort, belladonna, popcorn" the young man read out the list on paper one by one.

"Other things are fine. But popcorn, we don't sell this."

"Why?" Ah Hao, who was looking at the goods in the store, turned his head in doubt.

"That's the way it is in the store."

"You said you can't take it out, which means you have goods in your store?"

"There must be some, but they can't be sold."

"Hey, kid." Wende slammed the table down suddenly, startling the boy.

"Look carefully. This and this, can you buy that thing?"

A jade nightingale badge was photographed on the left counter, and a silver card was photographed on the right.

"Ms. Nuo Sen?" The young man exclaimed, "Wait a minute, I'll go get the goods for you right away."

"Take 10 copies of each." Ahao said to him quickly.

"okay."

The back of the boy disappeared behind the door deep in the store, as if he didn't care about the safety of the property in the store.

"Why did he sell us things as soon as you showed your identity?"

"Hi." Wende twitched his hair, "Our family's [Sand Sound Box] is made from this shop. It's definitely a big customer, so can you save me some face?"

"Sandbox, that's what it is." Ah Hao took out a small iron box from his pocket.This is also one of the few things he didn't put in the space ring.He was worried that after putting it in, he would not receive messages from Illya.

"It's really useful, when will you give me some more?"

"Next time, hey, it is already mass-produced and stockpiled, and the family is still pointing to this to make money."

"Can only two sandboxes be connected to each other? Can you connect more?"

Wen De spread his hands in quite a bachelor way: "For this, I haven't researched it yet. But I'm doing it, I'm doing it."

After a while, the boy hurried out with a big basket in his arms.

"A total of 500 points, you can give you a 400% discount, [-] points."

Wende held the card between two fingers, and handed it out handsomely: "Swipe the card directly."

"Is it 40 points per copy? The cost is not low."

After stuffing the materials into the space ring, Ah Hao silently calculated.

"It doesn't matter, just sell it more expensive in the future. If this thing is effective, it can be sold for any amount of money."

After buying the materials, the two returned to the lower city.

"Are you sure you want to see the making?"

"Think about it!" Wen De nodded sharply: "I haven't seen you make anything before. The place behind you has always been mysterious."

"Okay." Ahao nodded reluctantly.

"Let me tell you in advance, I am also making it for the first time, so I am not sure if it will be successful."

"That's why it's worth watching, hehe. No, I mean, I don't mind."

Wen De walked into Ahao's studio with a smile.

The equipment in the studio is relatively complete, and Ah Hao took out the alcohol lamp and the large cauldron that had not been used for a long time.

"Then let's do it as [Warlock] first."

Ah Hao took out the velvet antler, crushed it with a mortar, and ground it into powder.Wende also helped grind other materials one by one.He then mixed various powders and liquids together.

Next is the main event.

Ah Hao drew runes one by one on the crucible with a pen.The runes are mostly composed of circles, half-moon shapes and various lines, forming a circle around the crucible.

After the drawing was completed, Ah Hao lit an alcohol lamp under the crucible, and silently input energy into the rune.

This step is called "blackening" in the formula.

After the energy was input, the objects in the crucible changed instantly.The solution began to emit small bubbles, and as the temperature rose, the originally insoluble powder also began to roll in the solution.

Billows of black smoke poured out of the cauldron.

"It stinks." Ah Hao frowned tightly.

"Are you sure the steps are correct, why is there so much smoke?" Wende fled to the corner of the room.

Ah Hao is still inputting energy, unable to run, he can only lean back as much as possible: "That's what is written in the formula, it must be correct."

After the thick smoke rose for a while, it slowly stopped.

A small cloud of black liquid remained in the cauldron, with a faint foul smell.

"Is this dark thing the potion? I dare not take it."

"No, it's not finished yet. There is one more step, transformation."

Ahao turned the crucible one by one, and injected energy into the rune on the other side.

The runes lit up blue, and the black liquid in the cauldron began to entangle.Small thorns protruded from the inside of the liquid, vibrating and jumping in the crucible.

A wonderful thing happened.The black color of the solution gradually faded, forming a translucent wine-red liquid.After dancing for a while, the liquid gradually stopped.Ah Hao seized the opportunity and cut off the energy supply.

He leaned down and took a little whiff of the liquid.In the breath of animals, there is also a fragrance of medicinal herbs, which is basically the same as the taste recorded in the recipe.

"So that's how it is." After some field operations, Ah Hao had a better understanding of the alchemy of [Warlock].Although the appearance is different, the inside is the same.

"Blackening" is actually "decomposition", and "transformation" is "refining".Two kinds of alchemy lead to the same goal by different routes.

It's just that this way is more primitive and rough.Many pollutants are produced during decomposition by fire.Ah Hao felt that his refining formation was more "clean".

"I think the taste is okay. So, Wende, would you like to try the medicine?"

With a smile on his lips, Ahao handed the cauldron to Wende.

"Ah, this, isn't it appropriate?" Wende's expression was in resistance, but there was also a hint of expectation hidden deep inside.
