C10 You Really Are a Genius.
The door opened from the inside in half a second. The pungent smell of the medicine made Riko squint her eyes. Old Devil Instructor rushed out of the laboratory covered in thick smoke. His white hair was blown black. There were also black marks left behind by the flames on his mage robe.
"How did you know it would explode?"
Mr. Merlin's beard shook and he stared at Riko with his dark yellow cloudy eyes.
"The reason is very simple." Riko felt that the current situation was a little similar to when she explained the flying skill Spell to Elsa in the small wooden house. "The principle of the sobriety potion is to use the fire element of the Devil Defending Flame Leaf and the ice element of the Ice Blue Eagle blood to produce a magic collision, and then achieve the effect of providing a large amount of magic power in an instant. As for the Wind Bone Flower, this kind of wind attribute material that had nothing to do with it, the Wind Bone Flower was a type of wind attribute material that had nothing to do with them. Other than being able to break the elemental balance that they had painstakingly created and cause an explosion, it has no other effect."
" So that's how it is. How did you know? " Old Merlin widened his eyes, full of doubt.
The sobriety potion was not considered to be very high-end, but not everyone had the qualifications to touch it. Although Shawn Merlin was only an intermediate pharmacist, his strength was not bad, and he managed to obtain the formula from the Pharmacist Guild.
As for Riko, he discovered last night that she was only wearing a very worn mage robe. Her magic surges was very weak. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that she was a weak mage who did not have much strength. She might not even be able to enter the magician Guild.
Logically speaking, such a person wouldn't even have the chance to see the sobriety potion. Otherwise, how could she have fallen into a situation where she was homeless?
Although he was very puzzled, she knew that there was nothing to doubt.
"Why don't you come in and help me demonstrate?"
Old Devil Instructor rubbed his hands. After using a purification skill to clean up the room, he invited Riko to try it out.
He no longer treated Riko as a maid and ordered her around.
"Alright."
Riko hesitated for a moment, but because she was curious about the level of the pharmaceuticals Master Alchemist that the system mentioned.
She took a few steps forward and walked in front of the pile of herbs and began to think.
"What should I make?"
Although the things on the table were not particularly precious, it was a good thing that there were many kinds of them, so she could make many different kinds.
It was a treasure mine that could remove all negative effects. The Zero Potion could help people who were about to reach the end of their lives extend their lifespan and increase the consumption of the Elemental Affinity. It could use a special method to increase the magic talent of the drinking person, but it had the side effects of turning them into girls.
Riko did not hesitate for too long. She quickly decided on the potion she was going to make, and then she started to do it directly.
First, she put the materials that she needed into different categories. When her fingers touched the herbs that she had never seen before, she felt a sense of familiarity. She quickly crushed a silver plant and threw it into the crucible along with the green leaves and leaves of the green fruit. Then, she flipped her palm and the tiny flames began to pulsate.
In fact, when Old Merlin saw Riko choose fifteen ingredients, he had doubts in his heart.
The more ingredients used, the higher the grade. The preciousness of the medicine would naturally also increase at the same time. The simplest medicine formula might only have a few or even one ingredient. There were even some formulas that only required the ingredients to be crushed and boiled.
A slightly more advanced formula would require four or five ingredients. The person who could produce such a thing was already sufficient to consider himself as a respected pharmacist. For Riko to attempt to grasp the balance of fifteen different ingredients and deal with all sorts of unexpected situations, this was virtually not a task that humans could complete. Even if those materials were not very rare and precious, it was still difficult to complete.
The grey-haired girl's appearance was truly too young.
He had never heard of a twelve-thirteen year old child being able to become an apprentice pharmacist. Therefore, when Riko first chose the ingredients, this old Devil Instructor had always been frowning.
However, Riko's following actions made Old Merlin completely speechless.
Under the premise that she had a powerful magic control technique, she had been carefully adjusting the temperature of the flame. This allowed the liquid in the crucible to remain at the boiling temperature. At the same time, her other hand was also not idle. After the ingredients were skillfully processed, she quickly put the ingredients into the pot in sequence. From beginning to end, she actually didn't make a single mistake. Her configuration speed was shockingly fast.
The moment the last Moonlight Sand disappeared into the crucible, a gray fog suddenly rose in front of Riko. She extinguished the flame at the right time and quietly waited for the fog to dissipate.
The room was filled with a faint sweet fragrance.
When the mist dissipated, only a translucent, sky-blue liquid remained in the crucible. Riko carefully put the liquid in the crucible into a few glass bottles. She gently swayed towards the sunlight outside the window.
Until now, the completely lifeless Devil Instructor finally remembered to ask.
"That, Rikku, this thing is a Back Ring Potion?"
"En."
Riko answered gently. She put a few bottles of medicine into the pocket of the maid. She thought for a while and took out another bottle of medicine and handed it to Old Merlin.
"This is for you."
"This will be the payment for today's breakfast."
The Devil Instructor knew the preciousness of this medicine. He had only seen it once in the entire province's auction. This potion was worth over 100,000 Aldran Shield, and even the richest man in Hagerstown, Shawn Merlin, couldn't bear it. Thus, in the end, he gave up on competing. And this exaggerated price naturally came from the potion's powerful ability to continuously cast spells within ten minutes. This allowed it to obtain the name "Back Ring."
Any magic from Second Rank Attack Magic Ice Piton to Ninth Rank Forbidden Fire Bird would have a time of spell exhaustion. The only difference was the length of time.
When you chant a spell and release a spell, you must pass this period of exhaustion. After that, this spell can be used again.
This is just like the cooldown of the CD in the game.
And the Back Ring Potion that could ignore the spell exhaustion seemed to have subverted the common sense of magic.
If this thing was used well, it could allow mages to have terrifying combat power in a short period of time.
The Devil Instructor looked at the potion that was surging with strong magic surges. This was the first time he felt that the girl he picked up on the steps this morning was so mysterious.
He was almost certain that Riko was a Potion Master. A teenage Potion Master was almost certain that she would be able to break through to the Grandmaster in her life, and even have the possibility of breaking through to the Master Alchemist.
But the only thing Old Merlin could not understand was why a Potion Master was so poor that it could go out and rob others?
After thinking about it for a while, he could only sigh.
"You really are a genius."
