The career of an evil alchemist started when he picked up the Mad Sword Girl

As he spoke, Lan Jie's voice became smaller and smaller.

Yes.

It's all guesswork.

All may be exceptions.

The layout of the church may also be a coincidence.

But it may come or go, but how likely is it?

"Now, do you know why I must go to the Colorful Forest?" Lu Lin said, "Whether it was the old man's foolish words before his death or not, this is my only clue at the moment, and didn't you say that before? Well, Oga City is on the border of the empire. Once there, we may be able to find a way out of the empire and find out the most suitable place to go after we leave the empire."

"But, what should we do about Xi Shiguo?" Lan Jie asked.

"Didn't you say before that the problem is with the Fruit of the Past, not the city of Oga," Lu Lin said, "As long as we don't eat the fruit, it'll be fine, right?"

"Hmm..." Lan Jie held his chin up and hesitated for a while, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I understand. I'll just do what you say, boss. I'll go out to buy supplies tomorrow, and we'll set off directly the day after tomorrow. Let’s go to this city of Oga.”

Chapter 71 Isn’t this a test of my determination?

That night.

After washing, Lu Lin lay down on his bed and stretched himself comfortably.

He didn't know how long it had been since he slept in such a comfortable bed. Although it was still a single bed, it was not as short and small as the beds in the house in the past. Even if he fully extended his hands, he could only use one of his hands. You just need to let your forearm hang in the air.

When he first decided to run away, he thought he would have to live in the open for a long time. Who knew that there was such a creature-driven mobile home in the world.

Moreover, according to the shopping guide, many large species in the world are gifted with gravity magic. Otherwise, their bodies will be difficult to support their heavy weight. This earth dragon has the most suitable properties as a house. The talent of the carrier.

Their entire torso is supported by gravity magic, in a state similar to suspension. In order to maintain balance, their torso will almost always be vertical to the natural gravity, and their limbs will hardly provide support for the torso. , which only provides traction when moving.

Therefore, living on their backs will feel extremely stable, and you will hardly feel any shaking even if you move in a rough environment.

Covering himself with the quilt, Lu Lin turned his attention to the task box in his consciousness.

His mission was completed before, but he never had time to confirm the reward.

"Recipe..." Lu Lin looked at the recipe list and found that there was a new type under the previous formula type.

【[-].Special formula】

Under this large catalog, there is currently only one category - [Artifact Carlton's Final Scepter].

After clicking on it, there were two recipes listed, one for beginners and one for intermediate. After that, one could vaguely see the advanced entries, but they were very dim.

"Well, that is to say, the unlocking of specific formulas will gradually increase with my alchemy level..."

It doesn't matter, since Lu Lin is given the advanced formula now, and he probably doesn't have the ability to complete it.

Then, Lu Lin looked at the contents of the primary formula.

As he guessed, the two most important materials, one is the black vine alchemy staff and the other is the brilliant red stone from Carlton Blood Abyss, were both mission rewards he had received before.

The other materials seem to be commonly used when refining equipment. They should be used to help the initial integration of the two. Since they are primary formulas, they are also relatively common.

Only one thing is more difficult to do.

"Monster crystal core, is this something that is said to explode from monsters in dungeons?" Lu Lin touched his chin.

The market price of this thing is actually not expensive, because in places where there are dungeons that have not been completely conquered, the output of this thing is quite large.

However, it is currently recognized that the main function of this thing is to use it as a magic stone to power various magic circles or magic equipment. Therefore, in areas without dungeons, almost no one will go out to import this thing. The logistics cost and itself The values ​​don't match at all.

So if you want to buy this kind of thing, you can only make a reservation with a merchant who has channels in advance and pay the shipping fee yourself.

This is very troublesome. Lu Lin doesn't want to wait here for ten days and a half for the goods to be delivered.

As for the intermediate formula, the first item in demand is the elementary-level Carlton Alchemy Rod. In addition, most of the materials are not difficult to obtain, but they also require monster crystal cores, and the demand is still very high.

"It seems we can only talk about it later..."

Lu Lin thought to himself and looked at the task list again.

At this moment, the previous task has disappeared and turned into a new task.

[The Road of the Sage·The Road of Sail: Sailing through the Vast Sea of ​​Fog]

[Task goal: Complete intermediate difficulty alchemy 1000 times (0/1000)]

[Task Reward: The Omniscient Lens of the Three-Eyed Holy Vulture]

Looking at this task, Lu Lin's mouth twitched immediately.

What the hell?

Intermediate alchemy a thousand times?

It means that the formula has been given and we have started to arrange for him to practice basic skills, right?

But it makes sense to think about it. Lu Lin has not officially started alchemy since he got the intermediate formula. The twin mud puppets were refined before he got the formula.

"That's okay. Anyway, even if there is no such task, I still need to prepare more intermediate alchemy creations to use as trump cards or to sell for money."

Although Lu Lin now has dozens of silver coins in change after selling the batch of alchemy equipment he eliminated, his savings are still too small.

Although mid-level formulas are generally more effective than low-level formulas, their raw material costs are also much higher. If Lu Lin wants to prepare large quantities of some mid-level items, this amount of money will not be enough to purchase raw materials.

"Speaking of which, there are three types of magic stone formulas: elementary, intermediate and advanced. Although the profit is relatively not that high, you don't have to worry about selling it, and the materials are easy to purchase. Refining in large quantities can not only complete quests, but also make money. It would be nice to keep some of it for myself," Lu Lin secretly thought. When he goes out to purchase supplies tomorrow, he must find a way to trick Lan Jie into lending him one or two gold coins to purchase a large amount of raw materials for refining the magic stone.

Just as Lu Lin was thinking about what words to use, he suddenly heard slow footsteps coming from the stairs.

Lu Lin looked towards the source of the sound in confusion, and saw Rumi in a black dress walking upstairs.

Speaking of which, Lu Lin also took the bath for Li Mi today. Although he always bathed Li Mi during this period, he was more or less used to it, but at this time, he looked at Li Mi's long hair that was still slightly moist and what he had just done. After helping her put on the long skirt, the scene of taking a bath flashed through her mind, and she suddenly blushed.

Just when Lu Lin was suppressing his random thoughts and wondering what Liumi wanted to do here, he watched helplessly as Liumi walked towards him step by step.

Then, under his horrified gaze, she sat directly on the edge of his bed, then moved to his side and closed her eyes.

The Lulin people were dumbfounded.

This……

Didn't he settle Rumi in the room downstairs? He also watched her drink the medicine and fall asleep.

In order to prevent Li Mi from not adapting to the new environment, Lu Lin even gave her his previous pillow.

Could it be that……

Is she not used to the small room down there?

Thinking about it carefully, although the house he used to live in was simple and simple, the interior was completely harmonious, and Tanuki did sleep in a relatively transparent environment.

Even if he was sleeping temporarily in the alchemical cauldron, there was no cover on top.

It doesn't seem impossible that people in Numi's situation would be afraid of narrow and closed environments.

Maybe for her, she would prefer the room upstairs to the small room downstairs.

"I see, there's really nothing I can do about you," Lu Lin smiled helplessly, got up from the bed, covered Li Mi with the quilt, then touched her head, and then went downstairs.

Since Li Mi wanted to sleep upstairs, he could sleep downstairs. He didn't pick the issue anyway.

Opening the door of Li Mi's room, Lu Lin lay down on the bed originally prepared for Li Mi.

Ok……

You can also feel a little residual body temperature and a faint aroma.

Lu Lin couldn't help but feel his cheeks getting hot again.

Just when he was debating whether to try to ignore these details, he heard a bang and the door to the room was opened again.

Then, under Lu Lin's widened eyes, Li Mi slowly walked into the house, walked to his side again, and closed her eyes.

Chapter 72 Sleeping on a sofa or recliner is an essential survival skill

Lu Lin felt that he had made a mistake.

She discovered that it was not the bed that Rumi disliked at all, but that whichever bed he slept on, Rumi would sleep on that bed.

However, Tanuki didn't have to sleep in the same bed with him.

For example, he moved his old recliner out on the second floor and slept on the side. Numi didn't insist on coming over to squeeze the recliner with him.

After thinking about it, Lu Lin probably figured it out.

Tanuki didn't want him to leave her sight, but it wasn't that she had to sleep with him.

This is somewhat similar to Tanuki's recent daily behavior.

As for the reason, Lu Lin didn't know whether it was because Rumi cared about him more now, or because Rumi's super energy-saving thinking mode made her behavior particularly direct.

In the end, Lu Lin slept on the recliner and gave up the bed to Li Mi.

If he and Tanuki were to share the same bed, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep that night.

"I really didn't expect that I would end up sleeping on a recliner," Lu Lin said with some emotion, "I must ask Lan Jie to help me move the bed downstairs tomorrow. Anyway, I can still fit it on that side..."

Speaking of which, there would be a special room downstairs that could be used as a warehouse.

----

The next day, Lu Lin and Lan Jie were busy all day.

According to the results of Lan Jie's investigation of the route, they may need to spend a whole month in the wild. During this period, they will only pass through two relatively large cities, and the second city is only two days away from their destination. , that is to say, for 28 days, they will only pass through one city for sure.

Moreover, Lan Jie didn't know exactly which days they might pass through that city.

In the process, whether they can encounter supply points such as villages can only depend on luck.

To do this, they need to hoard a large amount of daily necessities.

In addition to their own rations, a large amount of ground dragon feed needs to be prepared.

Of course, even if Earthworms don't feed them, they can actually survive just by eating grass and leaves. But in that case, almost all of Earthworm's active time would have to be spent on eating, and it would be almost impossible to move on.

In addition, Lu Lin also purchased a large amount of alchemical raw materials.

It is mainly divided into two parts. One is the refining materials for the intermediate magic stone. This is one of the main formulas for him to make money by leveling up. Of course, it can also supply the consumption in his house.

The second was the materials Lu Lin planned to use to expand his ammunition arsenal. He chose several intermediate formulas that were more practical and had all the materials available. He focused on purchasing the corresponding materials and planned to use these to arm himself. Himself, filling the vacancies in the previous internal reserves of the Black Crow Robe, is also an upgrade to the power of the ammunition depot.

At the end of the day, these purchases cost Lan Jie a lot of money, which made him look sad for the rest of the night, saying that he didn't have enough money in his pocket and felt very insecure.

Lu Lin was helpless, so he promised to return Lan Jie's money as soon as possible after selling the things he refined in the next city, so the brother felt a little more at ease.

On the third day, after Lu Lin repeatedly confirmed that all the things he needed to buy were purchased, he let Lan Jie drive off.

Speaking of how to drive an Earth Dragon...

I don’t know whether to call it a classic or funny.

There is a long pole on the balcony on the first floor. A fruit bait that can continuously emit fragrance will be hung at the front of the pole. Just put the fishing rod out and let the fruit hang in front of the ground dragon. Lure the Earth Dragon forward.

Of course, this does not mean that Earth Dragon is really so stupid that it will not find that it cannot eat the fruit, but it has been trained by the Chamber of Commerce. This is a signal for it to move forward. According to the training content, it is actually replaced by The same goes for other indicators.

As for why it is done like this, on the one hand, it is to get started with training at the beginning, and on the other hand, many customers like this design very much.

Lan Jie, who is responsible for guiding the earth dragon forward, can control the direction of the earth dragon just by sitting on the balcony and controlling the direction of the long pole.

It's a very easy job, but it's also very boring, but someone has to do it, and no one else can do it except Lan Jie.

So... for the next month, he will probably be able to do only this one thing every day.

Even Lu Lin couldn't help but lament that Lan Jie had paid too much for this family.

When he gets the chance, he must make up for it to his good brother.

To this end, what Lu Lin has to do is, of course, work hard to make alchemy and make money.

However, Lu Lin, who was originally full of confidence and felt that he could complete alchemy casually with the support of cheats, was frustrated after his first alchemy after getting the intermediate alchemy formula.

He suddenly discovered that unlike the step-by-step way of survival such as setting up formations and making puppets, the intermediate difficulty alchemy and the elementary difficulty alchemy carried out in the alchemy cauldron were completely different worlds.

Refining the primary formula is like drawing a gourd, as long as you follow the alchemy manual, you can successfully complete the alchemy.

But the intermediate formula is different. Every time Lu Lin performs alchemy, he will encounter various unexpected situations. Although he has the knowledge in his mind to know how to deal with most situations, he must first identify the cause immediately. , and the response and action are fast enough to solve these emergencies.

If any of the thinking, reactions, and actions fail to keep up, the alchemy will fail this time.
