Chapter 121:119: Soul-Fixing Spice (Please subscribe, please vote)
19 Lombard Street, 2nd floor.
In the living room,
Roy had just pushed the snacks and tea next to Miller when he was shocked by Miller's words.
He didn't speak immediately, but remained silent for a moment before saying, "So, are you really prepared to be drawn into the vortex of the empire's core circle?"
Miller was very happy, really very happy, because Roy's first reaction was not anything else but concern for his safety.
The core circle of the empire naturally represents great power, even the reputation of the Habsburg Empire in the Old World.
That power almost reached its peak, attracting countless people to rush into it.
But at the same time, the danger is far beyond this small city. Once Miller steps in, it is hard to say whether he can escape.
Miller did not reply immediately, but held the cup, sipped the tea, and then said: “I know, I know, but that’s because I know.
So, I have to go!"
“This is my own choice, so I must move forward courageously.
Moreover, the win-win model can cause a stir.
Although it certainly touches upon the interests of some people, it also represents something that is appealing enough to people.”
Having said that, Miller raised his head, looked at Roy, and said, "Here, I have to apologize to you!
After all, this was your idea, and your idea became my stepping stone to advancement. I owe you that."
Luo Yi waved his hand, not caring at all: "We are friends, it's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."
“Also, you should be able to tell that I pursue the path of legend and also enjoy the joy of making money.
But you want me to participate in politics, to fight with those old foxes, to deal with complicated affairs and interpersonal relationships that make my scalp numb,
Just thinking about it makes me despair!"
Listening to Luo Yi's vivid description, Miller couldn't help laughing, but the next second, he said seriously: "Luo Yi, my friend, I need your help.
When I get to the capital, can I write to you?"
"Compared to me, you understand the win-win model you proposed better. I can deal with those old foxes myself.
But, I would appreciate your wisdom on this matter."
"Write a letter?" Luo Yi frowned.
"Is it not possible?"
"Isn't the mail a little slow? By the time it arrives, the daylilies will be cold, right?"
"Don't worry about that. There's a small communication magic circle in the Executive Office. Although it doesn't support instant messaging, it can still send messages."
A long time ago, Luo Yi had been troubled. It seemed that things like radar, radio, and telephones had never appeared in this world.
This makes it seem like a big part of communication is missing.
But after understanding it, he realized that it was not missing, but replaced by magic.
After so many years of development, magic has actually reached a certain level. Although magical machinery has certain similarities with the industrial revolution that Loy knows about.
However, it is not the same development trajectory.
So, magic fills a big part of it, especially the part about communication.
Like a fixed type of communication magic circle, it is almost everywhere in all the cities of the empire, and there is only one.
The one in the Government Affairs Hall is connected to the magic network of the Imperial Ministry of the Interior.
For example, the Imperial Empirical Journal is published simultaneously because it also has its own teleportation magic circle.
After hearing what he said, Luo Yi agreed without hesitation. He really didn't care about having to fight.
But Baron Miller was very happy!
He even stood up and hugged Roy to thank him for his help, and he would also repay the friendship of the Petrovic family.
Don’t think this is nothing, like a golden ticket, but in fact, the value of this sentence is far greater than that.
Luo Yi was also very happy, because he felt like he was giving a push to the trend of the times.
After sitting for a while, Miller chatted with Luo Yi about the various arrangements he had made after entering the imperial capital, and then chose to say goodbye.
Luo Yi walked him to the door, and the two hugged each other again at the door, saying goodbye with a smile. I don't know how many people saw it.
There is no doubt that this point has further consolidated Roy's position in Oakland City.
Nowadays, I'm afraid no one is willing to mess with him.
With both strength and influence, we can truly live in peace.
Miller left, actually he left on the same day, with the rumbling of his carriage as he left the city and headed towards the imperial capital.
This journey is dangerous, but also holds great opportunities.
Maybe it will soar into the sky!
However, Luo Yi did not feel confused for long, because Shenlan, who had been silent for a long time, actually gave a hint.
Two of them in a row, which can be regarded as major good news.
…
18 Lombard Street, inside the meditation room.
Luo Yi took out a green meditation secret medicine and lit it with an open flame. Then he saw a faint smoke floating up and filling his nose.
So, Luo Yi sat cross-legged, smelling the slightly cool fragrance, and felt his mind become clearer and all distracting thoughts disappeared.
Then, he began to draw the magic patterns of basic meditation, and the speed was no longer the same as before.
Then, in the void, golden lights flashed, drawing intricate patterns, and finally outlining a hexagram formation.
Then, a drop of liquid fell into the dark void, and the ripples it created seemed to reach the end of the world.
Luo Yi experienced this feeling and tried it a second time, a third time, and a fourth time...
It was not until the fifth time that Luo Yi finally fell from that state and suddenly opened his eyes.
At this time, Luo Yi is no longer the rookie he used to be, and his basic meditation has almost reached level 3.
Whether it is the efficiency of meditation, the speed of accumulating magic power, or even the time to enter the state, they are all far better than before.
Most importantly, he can now enter a meditative state without relying on secret medicine, which is a big step forward.
However, if you say that the secret medicine has no effect at this time, that is not true!
Secret medicine is secret medicine. After using it, it will be easier to enter a state of deep meditation. The effect of meditation is not one plus one equals two, but far greater than two.
For this reason, Luo Yi almost never stopped using it, and the speed at which his magic power accumulated was getting faster and faster.
He has an ambition that one day he might be able to break through the shackles of a wizard's apprentice and build his own magical space.
That's right, even in his dreams, he only dared to become a formal mage, which is the second level.
I dare not compare myself with others anymore!
From this, it is not difficult to see how poor Luo Yi's mage qualifications are.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Deep Blue finally found a substitute for ambergris.
In fact, Luo Yi was very satisfied after the secret meditation medicine was prepared. The so-called search for a substitute was just an idea, and he didn't care much about it.
But for Shenlan, a mission is a mission. Luo Yi doesn't care, but he will carry it out without any compromise.
Every day, at his request, Luo Yi would spend about half an hour trying various combinations.
For such a long time, Luo Yi had given up hope, but the results just popped up.
Ambergris is precious, but foxtail grass is really everywhere.
In fact, this thing is not even a medicine material, it is just the most common weed.
But even this dogtail grass, after removing the seeds and roots, only the middle part is left. After accumulating to a certain amount, the juice can be directly squeezed out.
Remember, do not heat it, do not boil it, and do not crush it, otherwise it will not be effective.
Only the squeezed juice can replace ambergris to make this green meditation potion.
As for the effect, it is still a little lacking. It cannot achieve the level of soul being the same and spotless.
However, it can also calm the soul and clear away distracting thoughts, thereby better entering a meditative state.
Therefore, Luo Yi called it the soul-fixing spice.
If Luo Yi were to evaluate it, it has about 70% of the efficacy of the soothing spice, but in terms of cost, it can be reduced to one twentieth.
At this price, most working-class people can afford it. Most importantly, the raw materials are easy to find and can be mass-produced.
However, looking at the green spice in his hand, Luo Yi showed hesitation on his face.
Because he knows the function of this thing better than anyone else.
If the Habsburg Empire had this and promoted it on a large scale, it would be able to train a large number of magic apprentices in the shortest possible time.
By then, it is possible that anyone can carry a magical firearm and use it.
Then, everyone becomes a soldier.
At this point, the Habsburg Empire's military strength will increase dramatically. Furthermore, there will be the development of magical machinery, the dumping of goods, the increase in tariffs, and constant friction...
Finally, when benefits are unevenly distributed, the problem will only be solved in the most direct way.
war!
A war that affects the Old World!
In the secret room, Luo Yi shuddered and immediately decided that it would be better not to release the soul-fixing spice.
Put it away, put it away.
There are many ways to make money, there is no need to choose such a dangerous one.
After calming himself down, Luo Yi immediately said, "Deep Blue, didn't you say there was some good news?"
Deep Blue replied: "The iteration of Shentan has made progress!"
"real?"
Hearing this, Luo Yi's eyes immediately lit up:
Second update, here it comes!
