"Let Mia get the feathers of Vera's eagle for you," Mastro wrote on the paper, "and the gold-striped leeches..."

"I know where the golden-striped leeches are." Asker said, "Is there an abandoned 'sunken palace' named Mocius inside the seventh mountain?"

"Yes." Mastro nodded, "That reservoir has been officially abandoned by the empire for a long time. It is said to be haunted. The water drawn from it is red with a faint smell of blood. It cannot be used at all. Drink. Our people have gone to explore before, but basically never returned... You mean, there are gold-striped leeches there?"

"Leeches are found all over the continent, and golden-striped leeches must live in crowded places because they need a huge amount of blood to drink." Asker explained, "Generally, golden leeches in cities will soon die because they prey on their victims. It was discovered and cleared by the church, but the underground cistern in Constantinople was an exception because some people raised fish here...Have you never counted the number of fish?"

"We do feel that the number of fish every year is not equal to the number of fry we invest." Mastro said awkwardly, "It's just that we thought it was because the reservoir was connected to the outside, and some fish escaped along the diversion road. Go outside.”

"So it's actually the golden-striped leeches that are eating our fish, right?" Mia said angrily, "I want to kill them all!"

"Then you will lose a lot of property." Ask said leisurely. "The spirituality of the dead extraordinary creature will quickly dissipate and lose its original value."

"Ahem, Mia." Mastro blinked, "We can seal that pool, and then go in regularly to hunt for golden-striped leeches, and sell them to rich people like Master Achilles."

"That's right." Mia's eyes lit up, "Honorable Master Achilles, since you want golden-striped leeches, you must have collected ways to deal with them, right?"

This guy... whenever he mentioned money, he changed his name to "honorable". Asker cursed in his heart and said with a smile:

"Of course, golden-striped leeches like warm, humid, and dark places. After they are full of blood, they will stick to the wall or ceiling and emit a dim, striped golden light, hence the name. There are more ways to deal with them. Simple. A shock bomb or a flash bomb can stun their bodies, disrupt their spirituality, and then drag them back with a big net."

"I see." Mia started gearing up. Obviously, military supplies such as shock bombs and flash bombs were not impossible for the Thieves Guild to obtain.

"Then the items on the list are complete." Mastro said, "10 pounds of Gar Canyon river water, 30 pounds of Eden fruit, and 70 pounds of geoducks. These spiritual materials all involve overseas smuggling channels, so the price It will be 50%-70% more expensive than buying it locally. The feathers of the Vera Eagle and the golden extraordinary leeches are originally 120 pounds each according to the market price. For the sake of the clues you provide, we only charge you half the price for each item. A total of 230 pounds."

"I'll pay 30% first, which is a deposit of 69 pounds." Asker's answer was straightforward. At this time, what he needs most is to collect the magic potion as soon as possible. For this purpose, it doesn't matter whether he provides the other party's spiritual material information for free or accepts a negligible monetary premium. "But it must be delivered tomorrow."

"Okay." Before Mastro spoke, Mia had already agreed first, and then confidently stretched out her hands. Ask twitched the corners of his mouth, counted out 69 pounds of banknotes, and stuffed them into her palm.

"These 69 pounds are my income from feathers and leeches!" Mia shouted at Mastro, "It was given to me in advance!"

Mastro ignored her, just clapped his hands and called another thief over, asking him to punt Asik out.

Sailing in the water diversion corridor, Ask looked at the dark water in the distance and asked unconsciously:

"What is Mastro's position in the Thieves Guild?"

"He is our shadow mentor." The thief punting the boat replied respectfully.

………………

Leaving the Aspa Reservoir, Ask continued to the next location.

There are a total of five people in the team. The blood routes and potion formulas of the other four have been determined. Only his own has not been revealed yet. No one asked questions yet, because everyone subconsciously felt that with Asker's knowledge, he had probably already prepared the most suitable combination of bloodline route and magic potion for him.

that's the truth.

The bloodline route that Asker plans to choose is the same as the one he chose when playing the game in his previous life. It is called "Weapon Master". It is an extraordinary route that is very good at fighting. Extraordinary weapons masters can master the use of sharp weapons, blunt weapons, crossbows, firearms and shields. They are good at attacking, blocking and dodging. They can observe the surrounding environment and enemy information and design corresponding tactical plans. They also have powerful abilities. Combat intuition, able to anticipate upcoming dangers.

The first sequence of this bloodline route is the perfect physique X of the cornerstone sequence. This sequence of potions will greatly improve the conversion efficiency of the physical and mental strength of the extraordinary. At the same time, explosive power, endurance, control, reaction speed, as well as intelligence and willpower, all attributes can be balanced and comprehensively developed.

For extraordinary people, there are three most troublesome problems: first, figuring out the sequence and combination of bloodlines, second, getting the corresponding potion formula, and third, collecting the materials in the formula. If you are a member of an extraordinary family or extraordinary organization, the first two are basically no problem, and the third one can also be exchanged and purchased within the family/organization. If you are a player, nothing is a problem, and any problem that can be solved with RMB is not a problem.

Asker was not a RMB warrior in his previous life, able to smash through all the bloodline roads with his red banknotes. Therefore, he does not need to remember other potion formulas, but he must remember all the Weapon Master's sequences in his mind. The recipe for the first potion "Perfect Body X" is:

-Ingredient-

A humerus of a Gaul ogre (Humerus_of_Gaul_Orge)

Tendon_of_Fenrisulfr_Wolf's_Hind_leg

Remnant_of_Phantom

-Subsidiary-

Anhydrous alcohol 20ml (ethanol)

-Processing-

Use the remnants of the Phantom to fully corrode the humerus of the Gallic Ogre and the hind leg tendons of Fenrir's Wolf. Add absolute alcohol and mix evenly. Let it sit for 24 hours before drinking.

The ingredients for this recipe are more troublesome. The Gallic ogres live in Alpine Gaul and Transalpine Gaul, the Fenrir wolves live in the northernmost tip of Scandinavia, and the phantoms roam the northern coast of the southern continent (from Cairo to Tunisia). If To collect them by yourself, you would have to travel all over the world.

But Asker knew a trick.

The three most common cornerstone potions in the cornerstone sequence are Strong X (increases explosive power and endurance), Alertness X (increases control and reaction speed), and Wisdom X (increases intelligence and willpower). The corresponding main materials are exactly the Gallic Ogre humerus, Fenrir's Wolf hind leg tendons, and Phantom remnants. Therefore, in theory, as long as you can get the magic potion or extraordinary characteristics of X Strength, X Alertness, X Wisdom, you can replace the main material of X Perfect Body.

So where are the magic potions of the three cornerstones? Constantinople has it. As the Queen of Ten Thousand Cities, Constantinople's advantage lies here - it is the commercial intersection between the East and the West, and is also located in the intersection area of ​​the Northern Continent, the Eastern Continent, and the Southern Continent. Coupled with its developed commerce and trade industry, Almost everything from the world can be found here.

Asker slowly came to the slum streets of Constantinople, where most of the people living here were poor foreigners, such as Anatolians or Thracians, as well as Saxons and Yus. Of course, there are inevitably local gangs, which is a common problem in all cities with slums.

At the intersection of two unnamed streets, Aske stopped in front of a street stall, stared at the stall owner's goods for a long time, and suddenly sneered:

"Huh, genetic preparation?"

"Distinguished sir, you are right." The stall owner is a profiteer-looking Yusi man with a short mustache. He put his hands on his hands and said with a flattering smile, "This is the genetic preparation from the Holy See of Solomon. The body is I can increase your strength and endurance, physical II can increase your agility and reaction speed, and spiritual I can increase your intelligence and willpower. What's even more amazing is that, after scientific modulation by the priests of the Solomon Vatican, all genetic preparations have no Potions have a unique risk of losing control, so they can be taken repeatedly. The more you take them, the stronger the abilities you gain."

"Haha." Asik picked up the small bottle and swung the liquid inside.

He knew that it was not a genetic preparation at all. This profiteer named Hrosoz got the magic potion of X strength, X agility and X wisdom from nowhere. This guy didn't want to start a serious business and sell it, but he mixed the three cornerstone potions with water and sold them. Under the guise of "gene preparations", he deceived many novice players.

The game guides in the public beta stage are relatively sparse. There is probably only one drop of magic potion in a bottle of "gene preparation", and the rest is tap water. Taking such a thing can only increase a little bit of extraordinary power, but it cannot cause a qualitative change in extraordinary characteristics. However, New players didn’t know this, so a large amount of players’ hard-earned money flowed into the pockets of this profiteer.

It wasn't until a player's guild killed this guy that the truth about the scam came to light.

"How much?" Aske asked.

"10 pounds a bottle." said the profiteer.

"Give me a bottle of Flesh I." Asik took out a banknote and gave it to him, took a bottle of "Flesh I" and drank it.

"No response." He asked knowingly.

"Gene preparations don't take effect so quickly." The profiteer said with a smile, "It needs to be digested by your stomach..."

Before he finished speaking, Asik had already pulled out Aphrodite and put it on the forehead of the profiteer:

"If you give it off, you'll pay ten, do you understand?" Asker said coldly, "100 pounds."

"This..." the profiteer rolled his eyes, knowing that the other party was not deceived at all, but knowing that there was something wrong with the potion, and deliberately came to try to tease him, "I keep all my money at home and don't take it with me... "

That’s what I’ve been waiting for! Asker thought to himself and said, "You kid, don't even think about running away. I'll go back with you to get it."

That’s what I’ve been waiting for! The profiteer thought fiercely in his heart and agreed repeatedly.

There were no police patrols in the slums on a daily basis, so Asker secretly put his gun on the profiteer's back, and the whole journey was smooth until he arrived at the profiteer's home.

Opening the door with the key, Asik saw five or six burly men with tattoos sitting inside, looking over with evil eyes. At this time, the profiteer who was held hostage skillfully rolled on the spot and shouted:

"The troublemaker is here! Beat this man to death..."

Before he could finish speaking, a bloody flower appeared on his body. Ask actually shot him accurately while he was rolling at high speed. At this time, the gang members in the room burst into violence and hurriedly drew their guns. Asike shot two of them to death first.

The remaining three gang members finally pulled out their submachine guns and started shooting towards the door for a while, only to realize that Aske had already dodged outside the door.

"Chase!"

A gun-wielding gangster rushed out of the door first. He quickly glanced left and right, but did not find Asik's figure. At this time, another scream came from behind - it turned out that Aske went around to the side of the house and beat two more people to death through the window. At this time, the remaining gang member finally became frightened and lost all courage to continue fighting. He rolled and crawled towards the distant streets.

The moment he was about to rush around the corner, a bullet penetrated the back of his head.

These gangsters are accustomed to preying on the poor, so there is no psychological burden when Asik kills them. He Shiran walked into the profiteer's house, rummaged through the cabinets skillfully, and soon found a hidden compartment in the wall behind the oil painting on the wall of the study room on the second floor.

There are three bottles of magic potion inside, the red one is for Strength X, the dark blue one is for Wisdom X, and the light green one is for Alertness X. Almost a third of each bottle of magic potion has been used.

After spiritual materials are made into potions, their extraordinary qualities cannot be separated once they are formed. If a portion of the potion is poured out, as long as it does not exceed one-half, then the extraordinary qualities will remain in the original potion, but the extraordinary power will be lost.

In other words, there is no problem at all when these three bottles of magic potion are used as the main ingredients for Perfect Physique X. But the extraordinary power is estimated to be only two-thirds.

Asker put away the three bottles of magic potion and left the house, when he saw a large number of gun-wielding thugs rushing over.
