Henk held a piece of paper in his hand, but it felt like he was holding up a heavy mountain and he felt a huge pressure.
He took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice: "My Lord, I... will do my best!
But there is no guarantee that it will be successful.
This is not an ordinary alchemical potion. It requires an extremely high level of alchemy. Only alchemists who can refine the potion with an 80% to 90% pass rate can safely deliver the product.
Even if I succeed, my failure rate will be ridiculously high!"
Lei Te smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. No matter what, as long as it succeeds, it will definitely be a good thing! Secrets like the Black Crow's Sorrow are rarely available even on the black market. As long as you can refine it, it will not only improve the overall strength of the territory. Even selling it on the black market is a sure-win business!"
Moreover, Leiter believed that an alchemist master would arrive in the middle of the year. After Henk was instructed, the Black Crow's Sorrow would be a piece of cake! Henk nodded slowly, looking at the formula of the Black Crow's Sorrow, his eyes gradually became hot! Although he also felt it was difficult, this was not a bad opportunity to hone his skills!
"My Lord, I will keep this formula strictly confidential, including the alchemy experiments, which will also be carried out strictly!" Then Henk showed difficulty: "But..."
"Just what? But you can say it!"
"Although this alchemy laboratory is spacious and can accommodate many people, it has no confidentiality at all." Henk looked around and said, "So I suggest setting up a separate secret room for me to use to refine the Black Crow's Sorrow."
Leiter nodded in agreement: "No problem, but it is no longer appropriate to open a new alchemy laboratory here.
After a while, I plan to move my territory to the vicinity of the Dark Eagle Branch.
Once we get there, we will have to adjust many of the layouts. I will build a large alchemy experiment base to absolutely meet your needs!"
"Relocate the territory? Build a large alchemist experimental base? Oh, that's great!" Henk's eyes lit up, and said, "Besides, we don't have all the materials for refining the Black Crow's Sorrow in our territory, so we need to purchase more!"
“Just make a list and give it to Riley.
By the way, I plan to let that little girl, Unica, learn the basics of alchemy from you, what do you think?"
"The little girl who was an apprentice magician?" Henk thought for a moment and said slowly, "I saw her once. She seemed quite sensible.
If she's interested in alchemy, I wouldn't mind teaching her the basics."
After Henk finished speaking, he turned around and buried his head in the table, starting to think about how to refine the Black Crow's Sorrow.
Seeing this, Rhett left the alchemy laboratory directly.
The cold winter wind swept across the entire Little Eagle Town, shaking the sparse dead branches of the trees on both sides of the graystone avenue. The strange howling sounds continued, mixing with the passionate shouts of the knights on the training ground, forming a strange melody.
Rhett left the inner castle grounds of the manor and looked through the gate to see the outer area of the training grounds, where Riley was having a close encounter with Unica - explaining magic.
Eunice's little face listened attentively.
After a while, Ruilai stopped explaining, put his hands behind his back and waited quietly.
Eunice thought for a while, then closed her eyes and mobilized her apprentice magician-level mental strength to control the water elements around her. She compressed and condensed a water ball along a specific trajectory.
However, there was only a hazy blue shadow in the air, which instantly shattered into a pool of wet water vapor.
Unica lowered her head in frustration: "I failed, Mr. Riley!"
Ruilai smiled and encouraged: "Haha. It's okay, it's always like this the first time.
The problem just now is what all newcomers will encounter: the control of mental power is too crude.
For us magicians, mental power can be simply understood as a unique strengthening organ. Meditation can only enhance its power and does not mean flexible use.
Therefore, Eunice, you need to strengthen the stability of your mental power. Practicing magic more is the most effective way. Water Ball is only a secondary magic, and it is not difficult to master it! "
"Thank you, Mr. Riley!" Eunice's face turned red from the cold, and she suddenly realized something, her eyes bright, "I will practice hard!"
"Good morning, Riley, Eunice!" Rhett walked over leisurely.
"Good morning, father!" Riley suddenly turned his head.
"Good morning, my lord!" Eunice waved her little hand innocently.
"Haha, Eunice, I plan to arrange for you to work in the alchemy laboratory. It will be enough to spend two or three hours a day to learn the basics of alchemy potions." Lei Te smiled as he approached, "Once you enter the alchemy laboratory, study hard.
When you become an alchemist in the future, your salary will also increase!"
The tone of Leiter's words was more commanding than negotiating.
Fortunately, Unica did not reject it. Instead, she nodded with longing in her eyes and said, "Alchemy, that must be very interesting..."
"It may not be interesting, but it must be magical." Ruilai thought about himself. Although he had no interest in alchemy, he could feel the mystery and subtlety of it. He said sincerely.
"I do, my lord!" Little Eunice said in a clear voice.
"Haha, in the future you will be glad for the choice you made today. Well, let's start from tomorrow." Rhett smiled slightly, thinking of the alchemy master who would visit the territory in half a year.
The reason why he asked all his magicians to meddle in alchemy was also related to the master alchemist - they would all benefit from it in the future.
After all, although there is only one alchemy manual, theoretically, the number of people who can study it can be unlimited.
And the final gains will also have no upper limit as the number of learners continues to increase.
This may be the charm of knowledge.
"What do you want to do? Eunice!" McCovey stretched lazily and walked in from the training ground with a leisurely pace.
After returning from the canyon defense line, McCovey rarely meditated last night and instead had a good sleep.
After waking up today, I felt like I was back to my old leisurely life. I can’t tell you how happy I felt!
"Mr. Mycroft, it's the Lord who asked me to learn alchemy!"
Leiter turned to look at his good friend and said with a smile: "Yes, if you are also willing to learn about alchemy, I can let Henk teach you."
"Forget it, I'm not interested!" Mycroft waved his hands quickly after hearing this, as if facing a formidable enemy, and said: "I'm used to being leisurely. Alchemists are all fanatics who are under high pressure all day long. I'm not interested in becoming such a person!
I have been tense on the canyon defense line for half a year. Now that I am back, I want to relax!"
Rhett curled his lips, as if he knew what McCoff would say, and said, "Okay, as you wish..."
Then, Rhett left the training ground and headed all the way to the East Eagle Lumberyard.
There I met Kudin, who was drinking tea and chatting with his men, looking relaxed and comfortable.
Hearing Rhett's footsteps and the clanging sounds caused by deliberately kicking a few wooden stakes, Kudin and several carpenters turned their heads subconsciously.
Then, in an instant, his body straightened and his expression changed from comfortable to tense.
He stood up quickly and went to meet him.
Kudin's expression was full of excitement, awe, and joy. He came to Lei Te three meters in front of him, bowed and said, "Dear Lord, I haven't seen you for half a year. My carpenters and I miss you very much!"
"Yes, I am glad to see the return of the Lord!"
"I believe everything went well on the battlefield. Your heroic presence must have conquered those orc bastards!"
"Of course, if you, my Lord, take action, everything will be successful!"
These carpenters had also vaguely heard that their lord had returned to the battlefield to fight against the orcs.
But there is no way to get more detailed information about the canyon's defense line.
At this time, everyone was waiting respectfully and flattering him. Lei Te smiled and took a quick look. The number of carpenters at the East Eagle Lumberyard had increased from less than 20 people at the beginning to 50 or 60 people now, nearly three times.
"You all look like you have nothing to do?" Rhett said casually.
When Kudin heard this, his face tightened, and he felt a little uneasy. He replied, “My Lord, in the past two months, the influx of population in the territory has slowed down significantly.
Whether it is Young Eagle Town, Fire Mine Village, or Thorn Village, the wooden houses are well built, and there are enough vacant houses left to cope with the influx of population in the future..."
"Haha, don't be nervous." Lei Te saw Kuding's expression change and smiled softly: "I am very happy to see my subordinates, such as you hardworking and responsible carpenters, relax after completing a difficult task. It is much better than doing things poorly.
My people, life is not just about work, it also has to be about living.”
As soon as these words came out.
Ku Ding and the dozens of carpenters behind him all had a touch of emotion in their eyes.
Looking at Rhett's eyes, they slowly gathered, and finally became extremely solemn, and he bowed deeply.
They could not imagine that a lord of a territory would still care about a group of lowly carpenters like them. These words were like a torrent of warmth in the cold winter, warming everyone's heart! "Thank you, Lord!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
Lei Te nodded, patted Ku Ding on the shoulder, and said thoughtfully: "Maybe in a month, I won't be as leisurely as I am now.
There are new and arduous tasks waiting for you, so I came here today to give you a heads up."
"Please rest assured, no matter how difficult the task is, I will do my best to complete it for you, Lord!" Kuding patted his chest and said solemnly.
After saying goodbye to the East Eagle Lumberyard, Rhett headed straight east.
Further east was a small thorn forest. From a close distance, Rhett could sense that Huo Ge was playing there.
When Huo Ge grows up, it is naturally impossible for him to stay in the eggshell all day like when he was a fledgling, and his size is too large to fit into the eggshell.
During breaks, I like to lie on the red carpet in the lobby on the fifth floor, or under Leiter's bed, in the corridor...
The rest of the time we play outside.
Chirp~ Chirp~ Rhett was fifty meters west of the small thorn forest. He saw Hong Ge turning into a fiery red lightning in the forest, shuttling up and down and left and right in the forest covered with dense black thorns and branches.
There was a strong fire element surging in its body, and Rhett could faintly feel it from a distance, as if what was moving in front of him was not a bird, but a small burning stove.
Rhett, who was originally smiling, gradually lost his smile and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Huo Ge's body seems to be a little abnormal today...
He frowned and thought, the simulation clearly showed that the breakthrough would only happen tomorrow.
But today, Rhett felt that the fire element in his body was showing signs of disorder, which is often a precursor to a breakthrough!
"Logically, this kind of thing shouldn't happen until tomorrow." Lei Te stroked his chin and muttered, "Could it be... did I praise it too much last night? My excitement accelerated the progress of the day?"
In any case, the deviation of one day in advance was not something difficult to understand in Rhett's opinion.
Huo Ge sensed Rhett's approach and quickly rushed out of the thorn forest. At the same time, a burning fireball spewed out of his mouth, splashing sparks and falling towards the open space not far away.
There was a loud "boom" and a cloud of dust was raised.
This fireball was sprayed by Huo Ge to vent the violent fire element in his body. The look he gave Rhett was filled with pain.
Lei Te’s expression changed, he clenched his fists, and encouraged: “Huo Ge, hold on!
Carefully feel the power in your blood and control it!"
“Chiu!”
Huo Ge let out a weak roar, then lay on the ground, flapping his wings heavily on the ground!
Seeing this, Lei Te was worried and couldn't help but use a simulation to test whether Huo Ge's breakthrough a day in advance would cause any accidents.
When the simulation ended, the ripples before my eyes dissipated.
[The real simulation is over. Please select an attribute you want to keep. ]
【1. Constitution】
[2. Fighting]
【3. Mental strength】
Lei Te naturally chose the third mental power.
He breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately there was no danger.
In the simulation just now, although the whole process was extremely difficult, Huo Ge still successfully broke through in the end.
Moreover, Rhett did not waste the remaining time of the last simulation, and refined several bottles of Aurora potion and a blood source bead.
For reaching the pinnacle of a fifth-level mage, it is just a drop in the bucket.
In fact, through the recent fifty-odd simulations, Lei Te felt that his mental strength had only improved slightly. Therefore, he was also very troubled by the destiny value required to reach the peak of level five.
Not to mention crossing the threshold and breaking through to become a sixth-level magician.
We can only take it slow.
Putting aside these thoughts, Rhett turned to look at Huo Ge, and felt a lot more relieved.
Huo Ge's breakthrough came suddenly, and the whole process lasted half an hour.
The spread of the fire element gradually became more violent, and when it reached its peak, even the nearby hay began to burn.
Then it fell back to the bottom, with ups and downs like a roller coaster ride.
Rhett was watching from the side. The Huo Ge's body was almost visibly expanding, and the skin on its body was constantly torn and healed, so that blood was wrapped around every piece of bright red feather, making it look more enchanting.
Finally, when the fire element gradually subsided, Rhett felt that Huo Ge's physical condition had stabilized, but he had just stepped into the second-level Warcraft, a special threshold, and his body was still relatively weak.
Rhett took out the three-leaf spark leaves that he always had in his pocket, and they fell from his hands, floating gently.
