Duolai was immediately tempted. "Then you can help me get some magic crystal residue. I have a channel for medicinal herbs. How about we trade three bottles a month?"
He now also needs a second-level mental power potion, as the primary mental power potion is no longer of much use.
Lily immediately replied, "Okay, no problem." After trading the things in their hands, they agreed to meet in 5 days.
Coming and leaving in a hurry, Dolai took the remaining bag and turned to the Future Pharmacy. Of course, he did not forget to disguise himself again.
When he met Lily, he used Ado's disguise, and when he met Lao Mi, he used Lin Rui's disguise. The two cannot conflict.
These past few days, he had always felt that someone was monitoring him, so he switched between several identities, and the person who was monitoring him had long since disappeared.
As winter approaches, there are fewer pedestrians on the streets, and the number of people in Future Pharmacy is also gradually decreasing.
Sitting at the counter, Lao Mi saw Dole come in, waved to him calmly, and walked to the back.
Dolai understood what he meant, and the two of them quickly arrived at the pharmacy at the back.
Sitting in front of the table, Dolai took out fifteen bottles of primary mental potion, placed them on the table, and said, "I need herbs for the secondary mental potion."
Lao Mi was very confident in the quality of Dolai's medicines, and those customers were also very satisfied. When he heard this, his hands trembled instantly, and he looked up at Dolai in surprise.
This guy was promoted to senior apprentice, so quickly?
"No problem, but we don't have magic crystals here." If there is a second-level spiritual potion, Lao Mi's wish is to attract more senior apprentices. The wizard group is not open in the Northern Kingdom, and every transaction must be conducted privately. If there is a second-level spiritual potion, more senior apprentices can be seen, more resources can be brought in, and he can make enough money.
A bottle of level 2 mental potion costs about ten gold coins, and the profit is three gold coins. If there are three or four bottles in a month, then you can make more than ten gold coins from Dolai. Lao Mi is full of expectations for this wealth circulation.
Duolai didn't notice Lao Mi's expression, but just nodded coldly, "I have other channels for magic crystals, you don't have to worry about these. In addition, can you get spellcasting materials here?"
Lao Mi breathed a sigh of relief, and was excited in his heart. He had made a fortune. However, there was no extra expression on his face, and he nodded calmly, "I can get anything related to medicinal materials, but I can't get anything that is not medicinal."
Dole reported the materials for the Burning Hands, and Lao Mi thought about it carefully, "It seems to be only white phosphorus."
Dolai's eyes lit up. White phosphorus would be enough. Sulfur and charcoal were not difficult to find. They could be found in the blacksmith shop.
When he thought of this, Dolai became excited. He would finally be able to release magic. Having powerful magic would be the real foundation of his life.
A magician's magic is not meant to be seen in public, but at least it is a means of attack. Whether it is the magic that is not meant to be seen in public, or the cross fist technique, they can all be used to save lives. Dolai can endure the life of a small person, but he cannot endure being bullied by others, and the situation where he cannot fight back is too bad.
White phosphorus is occasionally used in pharmacies. This thing needs to be stored at low temperatures and it will easily burn at high temperatures, so Lao Mi got some ice cubes for him.
Dole thanked Lao Mi from the bottom of his heart, even though he knew that Lao Mi took advantage of his ideas most of the time. In fact, it could not be considered as exploitation, but a win-win situation for both parties.
When they left the pharmacy, it was already completely dark outside. Dolai quickly returned to the alley, dragging a bag of ice and various herbs.
Although white phosphorus is easy to burn, there is a standard value. Now it is winter and the temperature outside is only four or five degrees, and even below zero at night, so there is no need to worry about white phosphorus burning.
After putting the white phosphorus away, Duolai felt neither sad nor happy. He continued to practice at night. The growth rate was still half a copper coin, which was very slow.
There are three kinds of firewood in the blacksmith shop: charcoal, coke and wood. Coke is not easy to ignite, but when it ignites, the temperature is high, almost one thousand degrees. Wood has the lowest temperature. Charcoal is better, and charcoal does not emit smoke. However, the production method of charcoal is a bit troublesome.
As for sulfur, there was some in the warehouse. Some metals needed to be soaked in sulfur. Dolai took out some and picked up some charcoal by the stove, and the materials for the Burning Hands were enough.
It actually looks quite simple, but it requires white phosphorus.
White phosphorus itself is also a product of alchemy. The extraction process is relatively complicated and belongs to the field of materials science. Dolay does not have the raw materials or other substances for extracting white phosphorus, so naturally he cannot extract white phosphorus by himself. If he had the materials, he could actually make it himself. Unfortunately, these things are controlled items and are not easy to obtain.
Therefore, he could only settle for the second best and talk about the extraction matter in the future when he had the chance.
As a high-level wizard apprentice, extracting spellcasting materials is the first step. If you can't find the spellcasting materials, there is no way to talk about casting spells. This is a false proposition.
Now that we have the materials for the Burning Hands, the next thing is Lily's magic crystal.
There is no rush for this matter.
Duolai was actually quite excited. After practicing for more than half a year, he could finally see the results. How could he not be excited?
However, no matter how excited he was, Dolai never showed it. Even at work, he had a normal expression, neither happy nor sad.
Soon, another two days passed.
On the third day, Anderson came over from behind and told Dole that Uncle Red was looking for him.
Dolai didn't understand what was going on, so he put down the book and went to the back. He was a little surprised to see Uncle Hong and Harley sitting together. He was so engrossed in reading that he didn't know when Brother Harley came in.
He said respectfully, "Uncle Hong, Brother Ha."
Brother Ha smiled, nodded, and said, "I came to tell you something today. Have you passed the blacksmith's certificate exam?"
Dolai shook his head. "That thing is useless. What's the point of taking the test?"
Uncle Hong glared at him and said, "Why is it useless? Unless you plan to be an unknown second-level blacksmith for the rest of your life."
Dolai suddenly felt embarrassed. It was not that he was not prepared to be a second-level blacksmith for life, but that he had never planned to be a blacksmith for life.
Harley knew something about Dolai's situation. He waved his hand to stop Uncle Hong from speaking. He said, "Do you have any ideas?"
Duolai had a lot of ideas, but it was difficult to speak them out at this time, so he lowered his head, thought for a while and said, "Let's just stay like this for now, and we'll talk about the rest later. Oh, by the way, while you're all here, I need to go out for a while recently, probably for a few months, so I'll let you know first."
Harley was a little surprised. He had been thinking that the annual blacksmith conference was about to begin, and he wanted Dolai to go and get a certificate, but now it seemed that there was no hope.
Uncle Hong didn't know where Duolai came from, so he said earnestly, "To become a blacksmith, you must take a certificate. You are now at level two, so go and get a level two certificate. Even if you don't work in our Mondo Blacksmith Shop in the future, you can take the certificate to other blacksmith shops, or even go out and work in a big city. You can't do it without a certificate."
Dolai shook his head and said, "Let's talk about the future later." He also knew about the recent events in the Blacksmiths' Union and was unwilling to talk about it.
Uncle Hong said, "What a pity! If you take the exam, you will be the youngest second-level blacksmith."
It’s not a big deal that Dolai is leaving. There’s nothing to do in winter. He can just leave for a few months. It’s no big deal.
