Perfume Alchemist

The three discussed for a while, and finally felt that Ahao's proposal was the most reliable.

"It's definitely right to seek asylum first." Yi Liya looked directly at Ahao, "But next, we have to act. Not only do we need to understand Shirley's situation, but we also have to understand the person who kidnapped Shirley."

Ah Hao added: "If possible, we should wipe them all out, so as to avoid future troubles forever."

Shirley touched her neck and muttered to herself, "That would be the best."

"But we can't be in a hurry. This matter still has to be considered in the long run. We have to ensure our own safety first."

"Ah."

Seeing that Ahao agreed with her idea, Ilya was also relieved.Shirley finally came back, she didn't want Ah Hao to go to have a direct conflict with those strange people again.

Ah Hao greeted the two of them, then got up and tried to find a way to contact Xia Duo.He couldn't contact Saul directly, so he still had to let Xia Duo pass the message conveniently.

Thinking about it carefully, Xia Duo's ability is really strong, although Ahao has not seen his fighting ability so far.

But only the non-combat abilities he has shown so far - manned shadow jumping, shadow detection, and domain blockade.These three alone are already very useful.

While thinking about it, Ahao pressed on the contact badge Xia Duo had given him in the toilet.

But he never showed up.

"Shouldn't it? Could it be that it's not working here?"

Illya says her dad set off the Arcane Society's alarm.Xia Duo only sent Shirley to the door again.

Could it be that Xia Duo's ability might not be able to be used in the association?
Thinking of this, Ah Hao ran upstairs again, and detoured out of the association by the same route.

In the Horizon Bar in front of the association, Xia Duo finally answered his call.

Compared with the previous few days, his expression was much more sluggish.

Xia Duo was wearing an eye patch on one eye, and there was a dark blue eye circle on the other eye.He ordered a coffee cocktail from the bar and sat down in a quiet spot away from the dance floor.

Ahao looked at him curiously: "Aren't you going to join the association?"

Xia Duo shook his head: "I have never joined the Arcane Association. I should not be on their welcome list either."

"why?"

"Issues left over from history." Xia Duo held up his wine glass, as if he was not going to talk about it: "What can you do with me?"

After Ah Hao expressed his thoughts, Xia Duo said unhurriedly: "It's definitely no problem to convey it to you, but I don't guarantee that Saul will agree."

"That's enough. If Saul disagrees, I'll think about it."

Xia Duo took a big sip of the brown cocktail: "Help me keep watch here, I'll go and talk to him."

"Ok."

As soon as the words fell, Xia Duo closed his eyes and began to meditate.

A shadow floated around him, and the whole person seemed to have nothing.Fortunately, they were in a dark bar, otherwise, it is estimated that this will scare many people.

Ah Hao waited bored for a while, Xia Duo finally opened his eyes and said: "He agreed, and he is on his way to this bar."

"Aren't you going to pick him up?"

Xia Duo raised his eyes and glanced at Ahao: "Sometimes the shadow taxi can't drive."

Ah Hao couldn't hold back, he lowered his head and laughed.

After a while, he calmed down: "Speaking of which, how did you bring Shirley back? Wouldn't your black eyes be attacked?"

Xia Duo pointed to the blindfold on his face: "It was like this last time, can I not pay more attention this time?

"It's my luck. I found Shirley's whereabouts after only half a circle in Agadi's sewer system. As long as my avatar is there, it will be very easy to bring her back."

"Then you also found Arthur's whereabouts?"

Xia Duo's expression became serious: "I didn't meet him directly, but I know he is there. Moreover, he seems to be stronger than before."

"Based on my knowledge of him, he will definitely change places and rob Shirley again. So your strategy is quite good."

"By the way, Arthur probably wanted to sacrifice Shirley by abducting Shirley."

"Sacrifice?" Ah Hao's eyes sharpened, "To whom?"

Xia Duo moved closer to Ahao's ear: "Void."

"Maybe it's a god in the void, maybe it's the void itself. I've never been interested in the things he said, so I don't know very well.

"If you want to know, go and look it up yourself."

Looking at Ahao with a serious expression, Xia Duo yawned in a rare way, and his cold feeling disappeared completely at once.

"My task is done here. I have to go back and have a good rest.
"I'll come to you in two days, you have to help me enlighten myself."

Ah Hao nodded as it should, knowing that this was the price he had to pay.

Xia Duo waved his hand, ducked under the seat and disappeared without a trace.

Ah Hao looked around in astonishment, luckily no one was looking at him, otherwise his innocence might not be preserved
Ah Hao sat and waited for a while, until Sol came in a hurry.

Sol stood at the backstage of the bar, looking at the "door" in front of him, with a slightly hesitant expression.

"Do you know? Since that time, I haven't entered the Arcane Association."

Ah Hao can roughly understand his thoughts: "After I quit my first job, I haven't been back to the store for a long time."

"But then I figured it out after I went back. It's just some people who make you upset.

"But what are you afraid of? No one can beat you in Agadhi. Whoever makes you upset, just beat him."

Sol was amused: "That's good, let's go."

Saul pushed the door open and entered without any imaginary events or imaginary crowds.The arcanists in the hall of the association were still hurrying to and fro, busy with their own affairs.

"Huh, maybe everyone doesn't remember me." Sol scratched his head and walked downstairs silently.

In the dining room next to the library, Ahao saw Howard sitting next to Illya at some point.He was holding a book and studying it carefully.

"Mr. Howard!"

When Howard turned around, he saw Ahao walking over with Saul, and couldn't help showing an admiring smile to Ahao.

He took the initiative to shake hands with Sol: "Shirley, can I trouble you to take care of her for a while?"

"No problem." Saul sat down next to Shirley cheerfully, "Although my house is a bit messy, the house is quite big. Come to live for two days and have fun, I'm sure you're welcome anytime."

Sol didn't say anything about asylum, which greatly increased Shirley's favor.

Xue Li happily said to him: "Uncle Nu Lei, you are so kind!"

"...It would be better if you don't call me uncle." Sol's face showed a little embarrassment.

He was still dressed in the same outfit as the last time he basked in the sun.The floral shirt and shorts look really uncle.

Illya hid beside her and secretly smiled.

Ah Hao took the initiative to sit next to her.Ilya became a little nervous, she turned her head and took a peek at her father.

Howard clapped his hands for himself, attracting everyone's attention.

"It's all here, I just dropped in to hand over the previously released task. Don't tell me, I really found something for me."

Ilya poked her head curiously: "What?"

"Information related to the void. Information that is not available in the entire Arcane Association library." Howard spread the book on the table, and everyone immediately looked over together.

It's a pity that Howard is mainly for Shirley to see. From Ahao's angle, he can't see anything.

Fortunately, Howard helped explain: "This is a little adventure story, telling what happened on the permafrost ice sheet at the extreme north of Europa."

"It is said that among the tallest frozen mountains on the ice field, the sealer is an extremely evil and huge creature. It has purple evil eyes that can never be closed.

"Even the most solid ice cannot extinguish the light in its pupils. It has always been there, secretly peeping at the world."

"But because of the seal, it can't do anything."

Shirley shrank subconsciously: "Purple eyes?"

Ah Hao said in a deep voice: "From the description, it seems to be somewhat similar to the creature that appeared in the Arcane Star Gate that day."

Sol immediately entered the state, he suddenly opened up his aura, and looked at Howard majesticly: "When is this legend?"

"At least a thousand years ago."

"This kind of creature, did it come to our continent a long time ago?" Sol frowned tightly, and he read the story carefully word by word, and chanted it from time to time.

Howard nodded: "In short, there are new clues to the matter. Maybe after a while, we can go to Navia City on the permafrost."

"Navia is good, and the spirits brewed there are quite delicious." Sol interjected while reading a book.

Ah Hao simply moved his position and read the story as well.Looking at it, he found another problem:
"The void is so big, isn't it? It would take the entire mountain to seal it, let alone who made the seal. If this thing is also a void creature, the creatures there are really big enough."

"Void!" Ilya unconsciously looked at her father.

In her impression, Howard, the only one who has been to the void, is the one who has the most say.

Howard sighed: "Don't look at me, your dad just squatted in place for a few days, and didn't dare to explore there at all.

"But it must be a super big place when I think about it. The place I stayed before is just a lair in retrospect."

"Okay." Elijah pouted.

Ah Hao finished reading the story.It basically tells the story of a traveler who stumbles upon a super-sized monster with giant pupils.

A lot of horror renderings have been done before. It is best that the protagonist is frightened and runs away.

It didn't say anything about the origin of this monster, or who sealed it.The five discussed in place for a while, but they all felt that there were no more clues.

Sol closed the book angrily: "What a coward! If you can't beat it, forget it, why didn't you even do an investigation afterward? If this kind of bastard was put in my team before, he would be sent away sooner or later."

"Forget it, let's talk about it later. I'm going home now.

"Would you like to visit my house together?" Saul extended a warm invitation to everyone.

Shirley must have followed him directly, she dared not go back to her former home now.Shirley looked at Ilya hard, and Ilya was also a little moved.

Howard took his daughter's hand and shook his head directly: "I will definitely visit in the future, but I still forget it now.

"In fact, I don't recommend that you go home directly. Shirley should go around two more places after disguising. Every time you go to a place, change your outfit, and finally go to your house."

"Saul, thank you for following her to protect her."

Xue Li was a little puzzled: "Does it need to be so troublesome? Uncle, why don't you just open the tunnel and give us a ride?"

"No!" Howard directly refused, "My tunnel is traceable. Someone with a heart can easily detect your whereabouts. You can't take this risk."

Shirley nodded half understanding.

Ilya quickly flipped through her bag: "I brought a lot of clothes with me, why don't you go and change first."

"Ah."

Shirley followed Saul away.Before leaving, she changed into a fairly low-key neutral attire, ready to honestly carry out Howard's plan to confuse.

Howard is going to the nearby library to search for more information related to the void.Illya is also going to accompany her father.

Ahao could only say helplessly: "Then I will look for news about Navia. I have a hunch that Xueli's matter will not be resolved so easily."

"That weird guy named Arthur seems to only want to worsen Shirley's condition. If the legend I read just now is true, Navia probably has a way to help Shirley relieve her illness."

"After all, they all have a way to seal this monster."

Illya nodded vigorously: "I'm also going to go to the library to look for Navia's materials later. You don't have to be too anxious. After you help find Saul, this matter is actually not urgent."

"In short, thank you for Shirley's matter." Ilya looked at Ahao tenderly, "Without your help, I might still be looking for clues everywhere."

"It's okay, I won't feel comfortable until this matter is resolved." Ahao's tone was still a little smug.

Although he didn't find the person, Xia Duo was the one he picked!
Under Howard's urging, Illya could only wave her hand: "Then we'll leave first, and we'll contact you when we have something to do."

Ah Hao clearly saw that she was holding a sandbox tightly in her hand.

it is more than words.

When Ah Hao returned home, he enjoyed the dinner prepared by the maid happily.

After Shirley's matter was over, Ah Hao felt a lot more relaxed.

He was going to do another experiment tonight that he had always wanted to do.

—Use the Philosopher's Stone to craft a wand.

When Ahao tried it this afternoon, he felt that Luke's wand-making skills still had a lot of room for improvement.

He thought that with the help of the Philosopher's Stone, he should be able to make a more powerful wand.

The ability is stored in it, and the user has to "understand" it before releasing it, which is really tasteless.

There is no way to improve his ability at all.

With so many things going on recently, Ah Hao is also eager to improve his instant combat power.

Ah Hao casually took out a magic wand that glowed slightly red, and placed it on the dining table.

This wand stores Luke's Fire Breath spell.

He tried several times, but it really didn't work.

Let's see what the Philosopher's Stone has to say later.

He didn't believe it anymore, there was nothing he could do with the Philosopher's Stone.

After Ahao Meimei finished his dinner, the butler Hodge came over on his own initiative.

"Master Ahao, are you free? I want to talk to you about the perfume business."

Ah Hao quickly put down the tableware, wiped his mouth: "I'm free. Something happened?"

"That's not true." Hodge shook his head, "It's the third store in the lower city, and the current operating conditions are not very good."
