Perfume Alchemist

The puppet made of straw began to tremble continuously after a nail was driven into it.

Natasha looked at the puppet in her hand, with a smile of enjoyment on the corner of her mouth: "It's so sweet and painful, I really want to go to the scene to see his reaction."

Ah Hao shook his head: "An arcane master shouldn't attack ordinary people casually. Don't go too far, and don't pierce the third nail."

"I see." Natasha replied with a low eyebrow.

"I remember you said that after you link the target, you can perceive the target's emotion?"

"Yeah, like right now, I can feel Willard enjoying the constant ball pain. He's probably rubbing hard somewhere right now."

". Besides, can you perceive the other party's position?"

Natasha frowned and felt for a moment: "I can't perceive his position. I might be able to do it after I advanced, but I definitely can't now."

"Okay." There was a hint of disappointment in Ah Hao's tone.

He originally wanted to use Natasha's ability to find Shirley's whereabouts.

It seems that Natasha's ability is relatively simple.

Although this ability is insidious, the effect is not strong.

Even if it is against an ordinary person, it will take seven days of the curse to mutilate a certain "limb".

If you use it against the Arcane Master, you have to be more careful.If the other party traces back to Natasha by means of prophecy, divination, etc.
It is estimated that she will be killed by the furious arcanist immediately, including people and dolls.

Ah Hao shook his head and stopped imagining.

He turned around and took Natasha with him, and at the innermost side of the store, he found Candy who was busy keeping accounts.

When Candy saw Ahao, her irritable expression became lighter: "Boss! You are too powerful! How did you find Ms. Chloe herself?"

"She persuaded all the group outside with a few words! It's a pity that she left in such a hurry, otherwise I would have wanted to communicate with her more." Candy's tone revealed a trace of disappointment.

"It was Natasha who found it. You can find her more when you encounter problems in the future. I may not be able to deal with it in time."

Natasha took a step forward, and gracefully handed a business card to Candy: "Chloe will be your colleague from now on, you have plenty of time to communicate slowly."

Candy glanced at Natasha warily, and finally took the business card in her hand.

Ahao clapped his hands: "Okay, you can continue to look at the store, I have to go to the downtown to check on Cherry's situation. I'm a little worried about whether something happened to her.

"Natasha, please stay with me first. If the situation is not right, you can call Chloe back."

Natasha nodded.

Ahao turned his head and called, "Luke, it's time to go." Luke put down the perfume in his hand and walked to Ahao's side.

The three of them took a taxi from the upper city to the lower city.

The taxi with extremely poor shock absorption was bumping forward on the spiraling downward road.Looking at the increasingly thinning sunlight and the gradually brightening fluorescence, Ah Hao felt a little emotion in his heart.

It seemed that he hadn't seen this neon shining scene for a long time.

The lower city is still the same, chaotic, wild, but full of vitality.The brightly colored signboard of the footwash shop is shining brightly beside the road.

The taxi could only send the three of them to the Xiacheng Square, and the rest of the road could not be opened again.

The three of them first walked for a certain distance, then went up the bridge and climbed the hill before reaching the door of the AH perfume shop.

Ah Hao was a little numb: "After walking like this, I realized that it was so troublesome to get to our store from Central Street. I still admire my previous customers."

Natasha smiled and pushed open the store door: "It's easy for customers to place orders after a tough itinerary. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time."

Luke nodded in agreement: "As long as the goods you get in the end are good, the hardships of the journey are not worth mentioning."

This small shop on the second floor is still the same.

In front of the unusually wide counter, there are 3 or 4 customers who are ready to pay.

The long-legged Cherry is behind the counter, enthusiastically checking out for customers.There are also two strange clerks in the store, helping other customers choose perfume.

"Welcome to AH Perfume Shop, do you want me to help you choose the perfume?" A clerk saw Ah Hao and the three of them coming in, and took the initiative to greet them.

"I'm looking for Cherry."

Cherry just sent off a client.She looked up and saw Ahao's figure, her eyes lit up at that moment.After pulling in the clerk to take over the shift, he ran over immediately.

"Boss, why are you here?"

"Something happened to the store in the upper city, I want to see if there is any accident on your side."

"There is nothing going on here at the moment, and the daily income of the store has been rising steadily recently.

"The goods shipped from Taiman's factory can sell for a lot of money as soon as they are put on the shelves." Cherry's tone showed a hint of pride.

Ah Hao said with a smile: "It seems that the location here is really good, even the 'enemy' is unwilling to fight."

"enemy?"

Natasha helped explain: "Recently, AH perfume has become too popular, and some people are jealous. You should pay more attention here."

"Yeah." Cherry nodded worriedly.

Ah Hao walked to the back of the shop and touched the wall leading to the 'back kitchen': "The door here is still closed?"

Cherry shook his head quickly: "I just sometimes go upstairs to sleep, the studio at the back, I never go in."

Ahao thought for a moment: "I won't come here anymore. Next time, you should find someone to knock on the wall. The store can have a bigger space."

"Ok."

Natasha stayed in the shop and exchanged ideas with Cherry.

Ahao went out and circled half a circle, leading Luke into the studio through the side door.There are quite a lot of customers in the store, he doesn't want to make a door directly in the store, that would be too conspicuous.

After Luke entered the room, he curiously stroked the table in the middle of the room, which was carved into an array.

"What is the use of this forming formation?"

"Perfume refining. When there was no Dr. Taiman's factory, this is my refining workshop." Ahao said with nostalgia.

Luke immediately took out the notebook that he carried with him, and copied the Liancheng array on the table.

I haven't been here for a long time, and some dust has accumulated in the room.Ahao cleaned the room casually, and packed away the beakers, scales and other tools left here before.

He's not going to ask for it here, and he doesn't usually come down to the city.

When Luke finished copying the formation, he would destroy the formation as well.In this way, when Cherry knocks here, he won't find anything.

Luke looked at the platform that had been smelted into a lump of stone with a bit of regret: "Actually, this is quite commemorative."

Ah Hao secretly smiled: "There is nothing to commemorate something that can be drawn casually.

"This thing was useful to me in the past, and I don't need it at all now."

"Speaking of this." Luke suddenly turned his head and looked at Ahao with burning eyes, "How on earth did you manage to appear in formation with a wave of your hand?"

"This is a very profound skill, and it's too early for you. You should learn more and practice it."

Ah Hao lightly changed the subject: "I just happened to be studying the making of magic wands recently. Would you like to try to make alchemy wands using the method of forming an array?"

Luke nodded without thinking.

He took out the chalk and began to carefully draw the formation on the plane of the stone platform.

Ah Hao obviously felt that this guy's proficiency in drawing formations had improved a lot.The circular array standard, the structural engraving and drawing are stable, and the layout arrangement is quite reasonable.

Forming an formation is the thing that best reflects the thoughts of an alchemist. Ahao can roughly see his intentions by reading Luke's formation diagram.

But halfway through the painting, he still couldn't go on.

Ah Hao reminded aloud: "You have to extract first, and then transform. Otherwise, the refining has failed."

"Oh, indeed."

Under Ahao's on-site guidance, Luke drew all the Liancheng formations stroke by stroke with difficulty.Then he took out a piece of wood and a few pieces of ore from the bag.

He exhaled solemnly, and pressed his hands on the edge of the formation.A reddish gleam lit up, and the wood and stone gradually disintegrated in the alchemy light.

Ah Hao quietly watched Luke's refinement.

Luke's formation and decomposition speed is much slower than his.Refactoring can be described as turtle speed.

Why is this?The construction was drawn under his nose, and the connection was smooth.Although there are some small problems, but it is not so stretched.

Could it be because he didn't master the mantra?
Ah Hao felt that he had found the answer.

Although Luke's refining speed was a bit slower, it was still progressing in an orderly manner overall.

The metal substance in the ore is extracted, and the core of wood is also spun out.The wooden core stretches the body and wriggles around the metal part.

Ahao could feel that these metals had formed special lines in the wood core.

Combined with Luke's alchemy handbook, he knows that these special lines are the key.Arcana is stored in these lines, waiting for someone to activate the alchemy staff, and it will spew out in one go.

"Okay." Luke stopped the exercise panting.

Holding the newly refined wooden stick, his eyes were full of joy: "The first time I made it successfully! It's really amazing to make a formation, it's much faster than my previous alchemy method!"

"You can go faster after you get used to it."

Ah Hao asked for a wooden stick, and compared it with the wooden sticks he had in stock.The refined wooden stick has a smoother appearance and a more delicate feel.The wooden stick that Luke made before had an uneven appearance and a poor hand feel.

Could it be him who cut it himself?Ahao gave Luke a pitiful look.

"You try it first." He handed the staff back to Luke.

Luke didn't get any ink marks, and immediately squeezed his wand and charged it.

Red flames burst out from his hands.The light of the flame surrounded the wand and penetrated into it bit by bit.

Ah Hao watched the process with relish.

It turns out that this is charging.

The flame in Luke's hand gradually dissipated, and he suddenly said in shock: "The energy storage cell of the wand is only used by one-fifth!"

"I have to recharge it four times to fully charge it!" Luke said with great joy, "The materials I use are quite ordinary, and I can charge it three times before.

"The extra two times should be caused by the improvement of alchemy skills! Alchemy into a formation is really too strong!"

"Yeah." After a few perfunctory words, Ahao stretched out his hand, "Do you have any extra materials? I want to try it too."

"There are some."

Luke hastily took out another set of materials.

Ah Hao tapped the stone platform with his fingertips, and an identical yellow light formed an array and then spun and unfolded.

Under Luke's envious light, Ahao stretched out his fingers and fine-tuned several construction formulas.Then the structure of the array was moved to make the alchemy process more reasonable.

Luke watched mesmerized.

The moment Ah Hao activated the forming formation, the light flashed by, and a magic wand fell into his hand.

Luke was taken aback: "Why so fast?!"

"In the future, if you use my method to refine gold, the speed should be a little faster." Ahao pointed twice casually, and Luke frantically took notes.

Ah Hao looked at the magic wand in his hand, full of thoughts.

What would the wand be capable of if he charged it?
Ah Hao recalled his door of truth, and found it difficult for him to explain its function clearly in one sentence.

After all, the knowledge and memory of alchemy it brings is already significant.

Besides, the most special ability has to be [Truth Sentence].

[All things return to one, all things in life! 】

Ah Hao recited the formula silently in his heart, letting the power of the circle flow out.

He imagined that this wand was formed into a formation, infused with energy.

The vision suddenly appeared.

The constructs formed the mysterious runes that spun around the wand like ribbons.

The runes are constantly being generated and incorporated into the wand.After a while, Ah Hao stopped the energy infusion.The appearance of this wand has also become extraordinary.

Dazzling yellow runes flickered on and off the staff.

Ahao handed it to Luke: "Try it."

Luke pointed at himself in a daze: "I'll use it? But I don't even know what your ability is. How can you use it?"

"How do you know if it works if you don't try it?"

Instigated by Ahao, Luke took the wand and activated it with his own energy.

In an instant, the light emitted from the tip of the staff quickly formed a circular formation.It exudes a faint yellow light, exactly the same as the Lian Chengzhen photographed by Ah Hao just now.

"As expected." A gleam flashed in Ah Hao's eyes.

Since he has mastered this mantra, he has mastered 【一】.

From then on, all his forming formations are based on this [[-]] change.This is also the secret of Ah Hao forming a formation with just one shot.

It would be interesting if each of his [Mantra] is an ability.

"This wand is given to you. It's useless for me to hold it anyway. You can use it directly when the situation is critical in the future."

Luke looked at Lian Chengzhen in front of him, and his eyes gradually changed from dull to excited: "Mr. Hao! You are too kind to me! All five energy storage cells are full!"

Luke hugged his thigh and said excitedly: "I just said it casually just now, I didn't expect you to take my words so seriously!"

"." Ahao swung his legs, but he couldn't shake the rascal candy away.

"But this wand can only be used five times, which is not enough at all!"

"You make a blank wand yourself in the future, and I can help you recharge it."

"Great!" Luke jumped up with a jerk.

"Not for free."

Luke waved his hand indifferently: "There are no paupers among alchemists."

"It seems that your little coffers are quite rich."

Ahao's eyes unconsciously glanced at Luke's satchel.
