Suddenly, Maruna noticed that the alchemical communication button hanging on the wall in the room lit up - the button represented a gathering in the central conference room. It would not flash at ordinary times and would only light up during special periods.
His expression became serious, and he turned to Maruna and said, "You practice here first. I have something to do outside. Remember the method I taught you and avoid mistakes!"
"Understood, Master Maruna!" Philos said quickly, not daring to be distracted, and continued to devote himself to refining the magic wand.
Maruna left the room and walked quickly along the circular corridor. He saw the shiny black door of the central conference room was open, so he hurried over and found Mandy and Marcio were there, and even Rhett was there.
His face became serious, and he went to greet him and said, "Marquis Leiter, long time no see."
Lei Te sat in the middle of the conference room, smiled and waved: "Long time no see, Maruna, thank you for helping me improve the magic wand before, it is very useful."
"Really? I'm honored. If you have friends who need to improve their wands or other alchemical equipment, you can continue to ask me for help!"
"Haha, you are so generous. Don't worry, if any of my friends really need me, I will definitely trouble you." Lei Te smiled and tapped the table with his fingers. He looked around at the people and then said:
"Now that everyone is here, it's time to get down to business."
Several people quieted down and listened carefully.
"I plan to adjust the next potion-making plan. Everyone's tasks may be busier than in the past." Rhett said softly.
Mandy and Marcio looked at each other. Mandy's blue eyes flickered, and she asked in confusion, "Is there any reason why Marquis Rhett did this?"
"There's no particular reason. I just want to know... what the Alchemy Tower can actually achieve when it is fully prepared for battle. In fact, I've never tried it before, but this is very necessary."
Mandy nodded thoughtfully and said, "So what do you want to do?"
"In the coming time, I hope that the proportion of refining Xingying Potion, Red Maple Potion, Fire Bath Potion and Starry Potion will continue to increase, and the proportion of poison will decrease." Lei Te said: "In addition, the proportion of refining cultivation potions should be increased as much as possible, and strive to maximize efficiency. If the number of magic plants is not enough, just report it. I will not be stingy with gold coins and magic plants!"
Mandy and Marcio looked at each other again, then looked back at Rhett and nodded heavily.
"Okay, that sounds a bit tiring, but I'm willing to do my best!" said Mandy.
Masio was silent for a moment, then said, "I will do my best to complete your task."
The two were quite sincere. If they had just arrived, they might not agree to such a crazy overtime task - their level was already high enough, and mechanical potion refining could not bring any improvement.
After being here for two years and witnessing the changes in Rhett, both the talent he showed and his current title of Marquis were enough to bring about a complete change in their mentality - from the initial period of hanging around and returning to the royal city when they had enough, to the point of having to work hard here.
Originally, they only planned to teach some alchemy knowledge publicly, and did not intend to teach them with all their strength. But in the past year, the three of them each selected a student and taught him attentively. This was also a way for them to befriend Marquis Leiter - if they trained their students to become pillars of the Alchemy Tower, even if they left, they would still maintain a friendly relationship with Dark Eagle City.
Maruna sat in a chair and listened quietly to the conversation between Leiter and the other two colleagues. After a little thought, he pointed at himself and asked, "What about me? Marquis Leiter, if you have any tasks for me to complete, please feel free to tell me."
Leiter looked at Maruna, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to refine a few more magic wands, as well as elemental communication devices, elemental lamps, and other items."
"No problem, leave it to me. I will definitely refine a batch of fine products for you!"
Lei Te nodded, "Well, I heard that Philos is also your student? Let him do what he can as well."
"I would have done the same thing even if you didn't tell me. Philos is not far from being a formal alchemist and can refine a lot of things."
This emergency meeting was relatively short. After a short discussion, Rhett dissolved the meeting, leaving Henk and Felix alone.
"Lord, do you have anything special to talk to us about?" Henk and Felix were unable to get a word in just now. Seeing that the three mid-level alchemists had left, they moved forward a few seats and asked.
Lei Te lay back on the backrest, sipped his tea carefully, and said slowly: "How have you been studying with Mandy and Marcio in the past two years?"
Henk and Felix looked at each other and didn't respond immediately. They seemed a little hesitant and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Is there something you can't tell me?" Lei Te smiled and said, "Please speak up if you have anything to say. If I didn't make any mistakes, I would never let my subordinates suffer. Even if I made a mistake, it is much wiser to confess it than to refuse to admit it."
The two of them waved their hands when they heard this, "That's not the case!"
After pondering for a moment, Henk finally said, "In fact, I am a little afraid of offending the three alchemists. Although they are very skilled, they cannot directly impart knowledge to us. Now that Felix and I have thoroughly mastered two alchemy manuals, the role of outsiders' guidance has become minimal, and we need to practice more on our own.
However, for the other alchemists in the Alchemy Tower, the three alchemists can still play a very significant guiding role, which is better than us."
"Yes, that's it!" Felix nodded quickly after his brother finished speaking.
"I see." There was a hint of realization in Rhett's eyes. The situation Henk described was easy to understand. It was just like the top student and the poor student in school in his previous life. One of them didn't even have to listen to the lectures, while the other still needed the guidance of a famous teacher.
He smiled and said, "This is good news. It proves that you two have already mastered the art and have gained more unique insights into alchemy."
"My lord, Felix and I will do our best when we make the lower-grade potion next time!" Henk recalled Rhett's order just now and said it in a sonorous and powerful voice. With the development in the past few years, he seemed to have witnessed that Dark Eagle City had already begun to take off with full of power. How high it could fly, even he himself couldn't guess. Now the only thing he had to do was to hold on to this soaring eagle and witness a more glorious history.
Felix also nodded and agreed.
Leiter shook his head after hearing this and said, "I have other plans for you two."
"Speak, sir!"
"I hope you two can improve your combat effectiveness in the next few months, stay in the extraordinary training ground for a few months, practice your spellcasting skills, and learn from others to improve your combat experience." Lei Te said word by word. After all, although he could arrange for two people to enter the alchemy department when they went to the canyon defense line this time, the battlefield there was too dangerous and was not comparable to the canyon defense line at all. If the war broke out, he could not even guarantee whether the cold current defense line could withstand it.
Historical experience shows that the higher the level of war power, the greater the volatility of the battlefield, and it is very likely that a sharp knife force will sneak attack from behind, or successfully break through, and thus temporarily lose the defense. Take Leiter's knowledge, for example, in the cold current defense line, our side broke through the orc defense line, or was broken by the orcs, which happened more than once. So Leiter must consider this in advance, prepare for a rainy day, and make some arrangements in advance. He doesn't ask for how powerful his alchemists are, but he must try to improve their combat effectiveness before the battle.
"That's right." Lei Te smiled slightly and said, "Although you are alchemists, you have been in the alchemy tower for a long time, so you are bound to lack combat experience. If you encounter some accidents in the future, I don't want you to be as fragile as a piece of paper among the extraordinary people of the same level."
"What the Lord said makes sense..." Felix nodded. He knew that some alchemists might be ambushed and even in some hostile forces, alchemists were still the priority targets. Now that the Lord has risen, it is inevitable to make enemies, and they really need to respond.
"I've informed you in advance that the Extraordinary Training Ground is open to you for free. I hope you will work hard!" Rhett encouraged them with a few words and left the central conference room.
Only Henk and Felix were left. Without the important person, the two felt less pressure and looked a little more relaxed. Henk remembered the instructions just now and stared at Felix and said, "Brother, it's been a long time since we fought. I remember the last time we fought was in the village when we were kids..."
Felix snorted and said, "I beat you up that time. Do you want revenge?"
"Nonsense, it was clearly you who was pushed into the pit by me!" Henk's face froze and he replied unyieldingly.
"Henk, you're only a few years older than me, how come you have the early signs of Alzheimer's?"
"Oh, Felix, if you continue to disrespect me like this, I will tell everyone about the time you ate sheep dung as a child."
Felix gritted his teeth and said, "I won't say any more to you, you despicable fellow. Let's go to the training ground and spar!"
Three days later.
Dark Eagle Branch.
In a deep valley, a hill of monster corpses piled up on the red soil.
Rhett stood alone in front of the hill with a calm expression. After sensing the surrounding environment with his mental power and confirming that there was no one wandering around, he turned on the system and started a real simulation.
[Do you want to start the real simulation? Each day of simulation consumes 1 point of destiny. ]
"Yes, simulate one day."
Buzz
Ripples appeared before my eyes.
Lei Te quickly took out the fragment of the shell artifact from the space ring and looked at it carefully. Waves of devouring power emanated from the inside out. Combined with the cold touch and the dark color, it exuded a strong sense of evil! "It's unrealistic to break through to the eighth-level great magician, but at least help me reach the peak of the seventh level first!" He whispered to himself.
Then, he attached the shell to the belly of a third-level ice crystal tiger. The moment it made contact, it was like a black hole, and an even stronger suction force suddenly erupted, as if an evil god lived inside, with an extreme desire for fresh flesh and blood.
Now Lei Te is very familiar with it and knows all the processes clearly. He cherishes every minute and second. While the shell is trembling and digesting the flesh and blood, he takes out a blood source bead, flicks it lightly, and puts it into his mouth.
Raging energy exploded in his body like magma gushing out. Rhett closed his eyes and began to refine and absorb the tremendous power within. He had experienced this process countless times before. Even with every passing minute and second, he could guess what kind of painful fluctuations would occur in the next moment, the energy conduction path, and so on.
When each blood source bead was refined, Leiter began to absorb the purple mist rising from the shell.
Then, pain continued to attack the nerves in every part of his body. Even though he had experienced it countless times, he could not remain indifferent, unless he was a vegetable.
His body was shaking, and Rhett slightly arched his back, as if this would make him feel better.
After hundreds of simulations, Rhett's appearance and figure became miserable again, overflowing with purple evil blood. The color was somewhat similar to the blood of the murloc, but in reality it was still very different, and his essence was distorted.
Rhett endured the pain in every nerve and chose to end the last simulation.
[The real simulation is over. Please select an attribute you want to keep. ]
【1. Constitution】
[2. Fighting]
【3. Mental strength】
"Of course I'd choose mental strength."
A feeling of nourishment came over his heart, instantly dispelling all of Leiter's pain and fatigue. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured, "Almost at the peak of level seven..."
He did not indulge in this pleasure. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and stared at the light curtain in front of him that had not yet dissipated - the brightness was slightly higher than when he just entered the seventh level.
The increase was still not much, but Lei Te could still feel it clearly. He had a hunch that this family system would not just change brightness for no reason, it must be accumulating something. Perhaps when it reaches a certain stage, it can really bring him unexpected changes.
"What could it be..."
While thinking, Lei Te was dealing with the corpse of the monster in front of him. After finishing the processing, he headed towards the northwest, towards a solitary peak that pierced the sky.
He rode on the fire grid at an extremely fast speed. Countless air currents brushed past his face, and the scene below quickly receded. Soon, Rhett arrived at the foot of the solitary peak.
At this moment, Wodlage had his back to him, facing an old man with great respect. Rhett's arrival was not concealed, and the loud cry of the firebird made the two people at the foot of the lonely peak look back.
"Good morning, Rhett!" Waddell, wearing a pair of light leather armor, waved to Rhett.
The old man next to Wodreg was Master Isad. He also had a smile on his face, staring at Rhett as he came closer and closer to him.
