"Mix the powder of the purple citrus flower with the blue mist grass, and then inject the mixed solution into the shriveled eyeball."

Roger's voice was steady, directing the experiment with a mechanical precision.

"It's against common sense!"

After enduring it for a long time, Valeni still raised her own question, "After the purple orange flower is ground into powder, the sap inside it mixes with the air to form a highly toxic substance. ”

"Not only that, Blue Mist Grass is also an important raw material for hallucinogenic potions, and when these two things are put together, the toxicity will increase exponentially, and the things you configure can't be used to take them at all."

"This is a killer reagent!"

She retorted loudly, "Mr. Roger, aren't you going to explain?" ”

Valeni has always been arrogant, but at the dinner table, she was forced to give in to Olivia's oppression and became Roger's assistant.

But if someone like her wants to stop her from talking, it will be more difficult than killing her, so the negative emotions that have accumulated after enduring it for a long time burst out.

Valeni at least thinks she has some say in pharmacy.

Roger stopped what he was doing and looked at Valeni in a fit of rage.

"Why, did I get a sore spot?"

"Or is your so-called potion recipe just excavated from those strange graves, and you haven't experimented with it yourself at all?"

Her face softened slightly, but her words were as sharp as ever.

"There are indeed many specious potion formulas in those so-called ancient ruins, but in fact, after our verification, most of them are just the imagination of ancient people."

"Lacking the most basic knowledge, some of them are even hallucinating under strong hallucinogenic drugs."

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Valeni's face, "If you look closely, you will find that in most alchemy recipes, hallucinogenic potions of different ingredients will be added to them. ”

"Please answer my question, Mr. Roger, do you really know how it works, or do you just do weird experiments from the script?"

Valeni pressed closer.

"I don't have much to say." Roger pinched his forehead, as if trying to make himself look more relaxed.

In fact, similar movements did nothing to ease his spirit, but he still subconsciously choreographed many similar small movements for himself, the purpose of which was to make his physical behavior seem closer to that of a normal person.

"According to Lady Olivia's orders, you are my assistant, and you should unconditionally assist me in completing the experiment."

"Another ......"

"Even if I am willing to share some knowledge, you may not be able to understand it."

"Your arrogant look is ridiculous!"

Valeni sneered, "I don't know how you strengthened your body to the transcendent realm, but I think there must be some secret hidden in it. ”

"And the contact in the last few days has also made me realize your true colors, and some of your common sense in pharmacy knowledge is simply outrageous."

"Then I should have enough reason to doubt your abilities, and whether you can accomplish what Lady Olivia said."

Valeni trusts her own judgment, and her self-confidence stems from countless days and nights of hard study, and Valeni considers herself to be one of the few experts in the world when it comes to pharmacy.

And what about this young man in front of him?

Lack of knowledge, and often make some common-sense mistakes, after several days of contact, she became more and more firm in her judgment.

It's just a scammer, maybe he's actually found something in some ruin, and did something.

But these things do not belong to him.

He is a replicator, not a discoverer.

"I want to see Lady Alifi and expose you for what you really are!"

Valeni struck the golden rattle beside her with a determined gaze, and before long, there was a sound of footsteps outside the laboratory, followed by Alifi's appearance in the doorway.

"Lady Alifi, you and Lady Olivia have been deceived by the man in front of you, he is not a real alchemy expert, and even less knowledgeable in pharmacy than an ordinary apprentice."

"I think the direction of our current research is completely wrong, and it is impossible to find extraordinary properties in ordinary materials and formulate potions that can work on extraordinary beings."

"We need ......"

"You say Roger's potion doesn't work?"

Alifi interrupted Valeni suddenly, whenever they met, this woman was meticulous, but at this time, there was a rare hint of strangeness on her beautiful but somewhat old-fashioned face.

It was not polite to interrupt someone, Valeni was stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded busily.

"Isn't that obvious?"

"Cultivating gold from a pile of ordinary materials is the core desire of ancient alchemy, but we all know that it is impossible."

Valeni said eloquently, "And what Roger is doing now is almost no different from ancient alchemy. ”

"If you want to use ordinary items to refine a potion that works on extraordinary creatures, this is making something out of nothing, and we all know that no matter how a grass is processed, it is still a grass in the final analysis."

"The principle of pharmacy is conservation, material, and energy level ......"

"Miss Valeni."

Alife interrupted her again, "That's what you called me to say?" ”

"I'm busy and need to help Ms. Olivia with a lot of things, huh...... Forget it, that's all for today, I won't mention all that you've just said to Ms. Olivia, but I want to start now. ”

"You can gather some careful thoughts, put all your attention on the experiment in hand, and as a good experimental assistant, you should play an active role, and not drag Mr. Roger behind."

"You don't believe me?!"

Valeni looked dazed, "I'm the youngest pharmacy master in the Federation, and I may not be able to match my teacher in terms of experience, but when it comes to innovation and future achievements, one day I will be ahead of everyone." ”

"I swear by my professional personality that what I just said is the truth."

"The facts?"

Alifei frowned, a hint of impatience rising up on her face.

"Let's try the effects of those potions, the results speak for themselves, I think I'm still naïve."

Shaking his head helplessly, "I decided to change my mind and tell Lady Olivia everything that happened here." ”

After speaking, he nodded at Roger, "Mr. Roger, please continue your experiment, and in addition, regarding the third stage, please feel free to speak if you need help in any aspects." ”

"It's Lady Olivia's order, we have to race against the clock, the faster the better."

"Don't worry, I'm ready, I won't keep her waiting too long."

Roger smiled back.

After lunch, the three of them were left in the manor, and Olivia seemed to meet with several others one after another.

Roger didn't ask for specifics, but soon, Olivia gave Roger some tasks for potion research.

You must know that the potions that Olivia needs are not ordinary things, and if you change to someone else, no matter how high the level is, it will be difficult to make a breakthrough in a short period of time without research in a similar field.

But Roger is completely different from the others.

He had now somewhat grasped the core idea of the Hunter's Lodge in terms of alchemy knowledge.

Rules.

Alchemy is not called pharmacy after all, and it is completely different from the chemistry that Roger once studied.

Everything in the world, as small as a speck of dust or as large as a towering giant tree, whether living or inanimate, as long as it is a part of the composition of the world, must contain the basic rules that build this world.

It's just that this kind of rule is not as obvious and powerful as other forces, and it is more like a passive attribute.

And the alchemy and recipes in the hunter's hut are a summary of these small basic rules.

Starting from the very core, it completely strips away the original characteristics of matter and goes straight to the source.

It is precisely because of this that alchemy seems so bizarre and unreasonable.

The average pharmacist or researcher sees the substance as it is, but Roger and the Hunter's Hut are able to take advantage of the most essential rules.

Only in this way can we break the routine and turn the decay into magic.

And even if Roger is willing to teach similar knowledge, others can't understand it, and the most they can do is to follow the alchemy formula and draw a scoop according to the gourd.

Arifi and Olivia don't know anything about alchemy, and they don't know much about apothecary, which makes them more focused on the outcome of the matter.

Efficacy.

Roger used a few alchemy potions to dispel Olivia's doubts and gave her a lot of confidence in what Roger had said before.

Valeni, on the other hand, is a self-proclaimed expert, and all her thinking stems from her past experience, even if she completes the experiment according to Roger's orders, but deep down she believes that Roger is a liar who only knows a little about the skin.

As for the effect?

Knowing that a dish made of feces is in front of me, even if it is disguised as a delicacy, should I try it myself?

Valeni, of course, refused.

But what she didn't expect was that her so-called righteous speech was only met with a cold response, and after a moment of anger, Valeni unexpectedly calmed down.

"Yes, again."

"It's the same experience I had when I was a young student."

"People are always irrational, unwilling to believe in the summary of objective laws, unwilling to believe in the facts in front of them, and then deceived by some disguised rhetoric and falsehood."

She clenched her fists and her eyes fell on Roger.

"How did you do that?"

"Tricked Lady Olivia with some bizarre recipes, some messy inconsistencies!"

Valeni sighed, "Even someone as powerful and wise as Lady Olivia can't be omniscient. ”

"I won't give up, I must expose your true colors!"

"And that damn alchemy!!"

Looking at the woman in front of him who let out a righteous roar, Roger couldn't help but laugh.

Roger learned some information about Valeni from other sources.

This woman was indeed gifted and intelligent, not only was she the youngest master of apothecary, but she was also a transcendent who had reached the third stage.

Well...... At the age of fifty, she can indeed be called young.

People in this world really have a deep misunderstanding of the word young.

In the information provided by Oakes, Roger learns about Valene's childhood, where she was born into a wealthy family and amassed a considerable fortune through the business.

Later, however, it is said that his father was obsessed with ancient alchemy, and not only spent a lot of money to buy alchemy equipment, but also secretly conducted related experiments.

Eventually, all their possessions were squandered, and even the manor they once lived in was burned to the ground, and according to Oakes' analysis, there were signs that Valeni's father had used forbidden alchemy against her mother in his frenzy.

This led to the immediate death of Valeni's mother and a subsequent fire.

But specifically, what happened in that burned manor, I'm afraid no one knows except the person in question, Valeni.

But since then, Valeni has openly expressed her disdain for ancient alchemy on numerous occasions, which explains the disgust she showed when she first met Roger.

Although the woman in front of him was easy to use, Roger didn't intend to say anything to change the other party's attitude.

He wasn't that boring, and if Valeni really left in anger, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Roger.

"Mr. Roger, I'm not feeling well right now and want to go back to my room to rest."

Valeni said with a straight face.

"Go ahead, close the door."

Roger turned around and continued the experiment in his hand.

Behind him, a hint of anger flashed across Valeni's face, who had been treated indifferently.

"Wait, I'll reveal your true colors!"

"Then drive you into the abyss with your ancient alchemy!"

After a brief tidying up and picking up a few important materials, Valeni hurried out of the lab.

Instead of returning to her room, she went to the other side of the manor and applied for a new lab.

The whole manor is huge, and there are a lot of empty rooms, some of which are not even intended for Roger and the others.

If it had been planned at the beginning, Valeni would have had her own independent laboratory, and the room was fully equipped, so she could just start experimenting with a casual preparation.

"Well, all the experiments are in my mind's mind, and no matter what means you use, as long as I repeat the experiments, I can make the potion you gave to Lady Olivia."

"At that point, I'll see how you explain it!"

Valeni cheered herself on.

"Let's start with the first one......"

"Let me think about it, first of all, you need white stone powder, aromatic flower oil, green calyx, and expanded pancreas......

"By the way, there's also Blue Mist Grass, a hallucinogen with excellent results."

Valeni was full of energy, and it didn't take long for her to get a potion with a pink sheen.

"What does this thing do?"

She knew the recipe, but she didn't know anything about the effect, after all, based on her knowledge of pharmacy, the end result was a foul-smelling failure.

But what is in front of you......

"Inexplicably good-looking?"

Shaking the liquid inside, Valeni uncorked the bottle and sniffed it between her noses, following Roger's example.

She would not have made such a reckless move, but after all, she had seen Roger demonstrate in person, and her heart naturally lifted her vigilance.

"It smells so good."

The expression on her face changed, but Valeni didn't notice it, and before she knew it, a flush crept up her cheeks.

At this time, her eyes could almost ooze water.

"Whew...... It's so hot. ”

Valeni gasped.

Stealing incense
