Chapter 286: Runemaster
In the closed laboratory, Downton was busy with his attention.
He wore a green gas mask, stood in front of the operating table, according to the equipment use specifications, the index finger, middle finger, and thumb of his left hand firmly pinched two-thirds of the test tube, and held the flask in his right hand, and slowly poured the acidic solution in it.
Multiply!
The solution reacts with the animal bone powder in the test tube, and a thick green mist emerges, although it is not toxic, but it will irritate the nasal cavity, and smelling too much will cause respiratory burns.
"Phew, the ninth step has finally succeeded. Seeing that the solution in the test tube did not become cloudy, Downton let out a long breath, he had already missed this step three times.
"Light the alcohol lamp, heat it in a 70-degree warm water bath for fifteen minutes, and then quickly drip in the dragon shade powder to set the ......" Downton silently recited the steps, methodically operating.
During the seven-day journey to the royal capital, he did not waste anything, and discussed potions with Xia Luo until late at night every day.
During this period, Downton dismantled the configuration process of the Great Power Potion, accurate to every detail, and wrote more than a hundred drawings, any potions master looked at these written records, and according to it, he could also configure the potion.
Of course, if you make a mistake, you can only do it from the beginning.
Standing in the hallway through the glass on the door, Elaine looked at Downton with a look of disbelief on her face, and until now, she still couldn't believe that her brother had become a potions master.
"Half a year ago, he was just a postman running for a living, and he didn't go to even the most ordinary school. ”
Watching Downton perform skillful operations, leaning over the parchment from time to time to write notes, and even checking those complex equations and calculating the amount of materials, a thick pride filled Elaine's chest.
"My brother is really the best. Elaine muttered. Downton took off his leather armor and wore a white coat with a scholarly air that sometimes led her to think she was watching the Potions instructors experimenting with each other.
"He's very talented, he's willing to endure hardships, and he's sure to have something to do in Potions in the future. The tome floated over. Looking at Downton, who forgot to sleep and eat, he was very satisfied.
"Xiexie, you're there. ”
"This is what I should do, who made him my master. As Downton grew more knowledgeable and became independent, Homer was no longer around, knowing that the potions masters hated being interrupted when they were preparing potions.
Perhaps a casual interjection, or even a sneeze, would interrupt a great potionsman's inspiration and make the idea of a new potion flash through his mind.
"Let's go, I'm sure he won't have dinner when he looks like this. Elaine turned away. Although Downton had been in the laboratory for three days, she was distressed, but she was reluctant to disturb him after all.
"I heard you're a runemaster?" asked Homer, "how much have you learned?"
"I'm still in my apprenticeship, and I can only make six simple magic runes of the soul level. Elaine was ashamed, she was too bad compared to her brother.
"What about your mentor?" reassured Homer, "for your age. It's good to be an apprentice. ”
Runemasters can craft magical runes from a variety of magical materials, after inlaying them on items such as weapons and armor. Can give it an extra bonus of magic.
For example, the magic scrolls and gem bombs owned by Downton are products made by runemasters, and a great rune master can even make ordinary items become magic items after being inlaid with runes, with magical magical effects.
Runes are similar to potions, both are magical professions with a very high barrier to entry, and there is no talent. Hard work alone cannot accomplish anything.
"I can't afford to hire a mentor!" Elaine looked gloomy, the return on becoming a rune master was high, but like potions, it was also a rather money-burning industry, after all, making runes required a variety of magical materials. Once scrapped, it means a great waste.
Elaine was so poor that she spent almost all three meals a day eating bread, and she couldn't afford the high tuition and material costs.
For apprentices who are just starting out, the runes they learn and make are naturally the easiest, and they can't sell them for a high price if they succeed, and the failure rate is extremely high, after all, even if practice makes perfect, it needs a gradual process.
"You actually made six kinds of soul-level runes by self-study?" Homer was moved, what a genius this was, "With your talent, as long as the rune instructor in your school is not stupid, he will definitely cultivate you, right?"
"Yes, he approached me, but asked me to sign a contract to work for him for ten years after becoming a rune master, and all the proceeds during this period will be at the master's disposal. Elaine smiled bitterly, "Actually, this condition is not harsh, after all, people have paid a huge amount of money to train me, but I don't want to be bound." ”
"You don't like him for not being up to the same level, are you?" said Homer, saying that Elaine was a smart girl and would never do such a stupid thing.
Excellent rune masters are busy making runes, but a rune worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins, who would be idle to be a teacher?
Being exposed to the little secret in her heart made Elaine's face turn red, and she said frankly, "Yes, I think if I teach myself, I should be able to reach the level of a mentor in less than five years, and besides, I want to become a rune master just to make money to buy potions and magic stones for my brother." ”
Homer nodded, ten years later, Downton has passed the best age for the growth of magicians, even if Elaine earns money that rivals that of the country, what is the use?
"Don't worry, Downton's wallet is very bulging, no matter how you burn money, it doesn't matter, we will definitely train you to be a rune master. Homer smiled, "Besides, standing in front of you is a Homer-sama who is even more powerful than the Rune Grandmaster. ”
Speaking of erudition, Homer thinks that he is definitely the first in the Western Continent, runes are a branch of the magic discipline, and for Erudito Homer, of course, it is difficult to defeat it.
"You can't spend money indiscriminately, my brother wants to be a potions master, it's very money-burning. Elaine refused.
"No, you can't waste your talent. Homer didn't listen, but finally found a treasure that had to be polished.
"I heard that dragons like to pile up gold coins in their lairs, if you run out of money, why don't we go to Dragon Island and grab a handful?" Hu Tao ran wildly with a broomstick, not knowing what he was chasing.
"Done your homework?" the elemental arm picked up the whip.
Hu Tao saw that it was not good, turned around and ran.
The lab was soundproofed, and Downton didn't hear Homer preparing to train his sister, and his attention had already reached the limit, as the potion configuration was carried out one step further.
When the magic clock was called, Downton put on protective gloves and immediately took out the purified blood essence of the two-headed demon wolf from the centrifuge box, and added the blue titanium solution as quickly as possible.
The blood essence in the test tube spun as it changed color, like a tropical tornado, and when the color turned red, meaning that the activation had reached its peak, Downton immediately poured it into the beaker.
Boom, Jinghua reacted with the solution inside, and there was a loud bang, and a blood-red fist rune appeared at the mouth of the cup, and then shattered.
"yes, it worked. "Downton cheered, that 'fist' was the most obvious phenomenon when the Great Power Potion was successfully disposed.
Homer counted the time, and when it was early in the morning of the second day in the Western Continent, it immediately took the girls to call Downton and was about to return.
By this time, Downton had been in the laboratory for ten days, and there were twenty sealed test tubes on the laboratory table behind him.
"It's so beautiful!" Looking at these bright red potions like blood, Hu Tao ran over, and after careful inspection, she found that the liquid was like having life, constantly rushing, and seemed to be full of liliang.
"How does it work?" asked Homer.
Celest, who already had experience as an assistant, took a white oak box from the cabinet next to her, carefully wrapped the test tube in cotton, and placed it on the test tube rack inside, then fixed it, and then put other soft fillers to ensure that it would not be damaged due to violent shaking.
"All of them are qualified, but only half of them are above 70% effective, but you said they can't be drunk either!"
Elaine stood beside Downton, helped him take off his white coat, and hurriedly prepared the towel while he washed his hands.
"Yes, there is a problem with the formula of Juli Elixir, and if you drink too much, it will cause hidden trauma to the body. Homer explained, "So don't use it until you have to." ”
"Well, but you can sell it for money. Downton smiled, "Let's go, go back, there are still many things to do today, buy a house, go to the Royal Apothecary Society exam, go to the Holy See to get a paladin license...... Ah, what a problem, is this going to exhaust me?"
Back at the Golden White Goose Hotel, Downton asked Jackson about how he was doing last night, and after making sure there was nothing abnormal, he asked everyone to go and wash up.
After a brief breakfast, Downton took the girls out the door.
In broad daylight, Downton didn't dare to let Jackson drive through the city, so he simply rented a carriage.
"Go to Nancheng District. After Elaine told the coachman the location, she explained to Downton, "The houses over there are cheaper. ”
"Wait, I heard that it's a slum over there, and the security is not very good?" Seeing Elaine nodding, Downton refused, "It's better to go to the rich area to buy a house?"
"But the prices there are very expensive. ”
"It doesn't matter, you have to study, you need a quiet environment and good security, it doesn't matter if the house price is high. "For Elaine, no matter how much money is spent, Downton is not distressed.
"Brother, you're so good to me!" Elaine hugged Downton's arm and rubbed her cheek against him, a happy smile on her face.
Looking at the ordinary dress and accent of Downton and his party, the coachman thought that a few out-of-town students had hired a carriage to tour the royal capital, so his attitude was very contemptuous, and now when he heard their conversation, he quickly restrained his arrogance and lost his smiling face, he could not afford to offend the young man who could buy a house in a rich area.
"Sit's sit, sir!" said the coachman, who had the obvious intention of begging for haode, of course, so that he could get some more reward after finishing his work. (To be continued......)
