My blood regeneration is 100 million points faster
Chapter 166 Bilingual Books
In the alchemy room, the thick liquid in the crucible bubbled gurglingly, and the room was extremely quiet. There was still about half of the slurry in the crucible, and it seemed that the alchemy work would continue for a while.
Servant No. 5 wandered around the room.
Xia Zuo suddenly understood why there were no bookshelves here...
Because people like Doom may come to visit the owner of the alchemy room at any time.
If a bookshelf is placed here, the books on it will be seen by interested people, and the desk will not be placed here. Otherwise, the personal alchemy diary placed on the table will be secretly written down by others.
Therefore, there may be a small secret room in this room for storing alchemical classics or for writing alchemical diaries in an undisturbed environment.
Xia Zuo narrowed his eyes and thought he had discovered Hua Dian.
He controlled Servant No. 5 to carefully search every corner of the alchemy room, looking for a place to get into.
When he came in, Xia Zuo noticed that the alchemy room was built on a platform between the tree canopies, and it was unlikely to have a darkroom like a basement.
In addition, from the outside, the alchemy room only has one floor, and there is no second floor.
The secret room must be behind the wall opposite the door.
Servant No. 5 floated slowly close to the wall. If he saw a gap, he would try to get in.
Oh~ Found it.
It's just behind the free shelf. If the alchemist wants to come in, he can just push the shelf away and then push it back against the wall.
The hematin servant slipped directly through the crack in the door.
The secret room is very small, about five or six square meters.
The floor, walls and ceiling are coated with an oil that blocks moisture from the swamp. There is no damp or rotten smell here, and the air is very dry.
The lantern hanging on the wall emits yellow-green light. There is a small piece of monster grease burning on the lamp holder. Unique spices are added to it, exuding a faint fragrance.
At the top of the room is a soft animal skin couch, a double-layer mattress and a cotton quilt. It looks a little dirty, but it is absolutely soft and comfortable.
Next to the bed is a desk, which is used as a stool. There is a pile of classics with some kind of animal skin as a cover piled on the corner of the table.
There is an open book on the table.
Judging from the color and texture of the pages, its material is different from ordinary paper.
The white paper at Xia Zuo's hand looked smooth, neatly cut, and even a little sharp, capable of cutting delicate skin.
The page in front of Servant No. 5 has a thin layer of glue on the surface. The glue on the edge of the page is thicker, which makes people subconsciously feel softer to the touch, and this kind of paper looks more durable.
Xia Zuo scanned the text on the page through the perspective of Servant No. 5...
"Huh? Bilingual books?" Xia Zuoyi raised his eyebrows, twisted his butt a few times, sat up straight, picked up his pen and started copying the content on the page.
There are two languages on this book at the same time.
One is the common language, which is the main language in the Mage Temple Territory and Stillwater Town.
I don’t know the other language, and Xia Zuo has never seen it.
Its writing style is similar to Common Language, with the same line of text written from left to right and each line written from top to bottom, but the language type is not phonetic writing, but hieroglyphics.
There are a lot of fish-bone-like characters interspersed in the sentences. If combined with the common language translation, you can easily grasp the nouns and prepositions in this kind of characters.
After Xia Zuo finished copying the two spread pages, it didn't take him a few seconds to understand the literal meaning.
Simply put, this book records a kind of alchemy that is different from the alchemy of the Mage Temple.
The alchemy of poisons, strange objects, medicines, and oils that Xia Zuo learned are all based on [elements]. To be more precise, they are obtained by alchemical processing of [elemental traces] contained in things. The expected alchemical product.
These alchemies can be temporarily called elemental alchemy.
There are no unruly elements in the realm of Jingshui Town, and there are no traces of elements in nature.
The alchemy here specializes in the study of "monster materials", using things that do not contain traces of elements - mainly the organs, blood, fat, body and other materials of monsters for alchemical processing, and processing them into the desired alchemical products.
The alchemist outside the secret room is using an alchemical technique called [Magic Alchemy] to produce the raw materials required for some kind of alchemical cultivation equipment - monster essence.
The pages of the book spread out on the table only provide this information. Turning the pages rashly may attract the attention of the alchemist.
Xia Zuo can only see so much knowledge for the time being.
He turned the direction of Servant No. 5 and looked at the books on the corner of the table. The titles on the spines were written in two languages.
"Magic Alchemy·Monster Essence Preparation Guide"
"Magic Alchemy·Characteristics of Monster Essence"
"The Alchemy of Bone Sacs·The Production and Storage of Bone Sacs"
"Alchemy of Flesh and Arms Splitting Arms"
"Alchemy Diary (Number 1 to 33)"
Demon Alchemy, Bone Capsule Alchemy, and Flesh Alchemy are collectively referred to as Demon Alchemy for the time being.
It is not difficult to judge from the names of the three alchemies that they are intrinsically connected.
Magic alchemy is responsible for refining monster essence from monster materials.
Bone capsule alchemy uses monster essence to create bone marrow and bone capsules, and uses bone grafting to implant these products.
Flesh Alchemy is responsible for making split-limb weapons that match specific bone sacs.
Nuk'alofa calls himself the steward of essence and flesh, which may mean that he is in charge of magic alchemy and flesh and blood alchemy. This is just Xia Zuo's guess and cannot be completely certain.
Just as Xia Zuo was copying down the titles of several classics, there was movement outside the door of the secret room.
"Hiss..." A low voice of frustration.
Xia Zuo could tell that this was the bellows of the blower blowing air, and the refining work in the alchemy room should be coming to an end.
Servant No. 5 slipped through the crack in the door and returned to the alchemy room.
The alchemist who was boiling the slurry water just put out the fire, wiped the spoon clean with linen cloth, put it on the shelf aside, turned around and revealed a bearded face, "Dum, something happened to Carpenter. Is it right?"
"Yes...Master." Doom lowered his head and said modestly:
"I found corpses burned into black charcoal near the wall of the Xieshui Reservoir, as well as these pieces of armor..."
Doom took out a paper packet from his pocket and handed it over respectfully with both hands.
The bearded alchemist took it, dipped some fragments into his mouth with his fingers, tasted the taste, and then spit it into the trash can at his feet.
"The activity of the essence has been completely lost... Carpenter is dead." The bearded alchemist asked in a deep voice, "Were no bone capsules found at the scene?"
"No, Master." Doom lowered his head to his chest, "It should be the two detectives who killed Carpenter and took away the bone capsule."
"Damn Ishu Group! I will tear them apart one day!" The bearded alchemist's eyes flashed with anger and he hammered the desk at hand.
Doom held his breath, waiting for the other party's anger to come to him.
The bearded alchemist took a few deep breaths, and clenched his hands with thick joints together, making a crunching sound.
"That bone capsule must be brought back. It must be brought back!" The bearded alchemist walked towards the shelf beside the wall, taking every step very heavily.
He picked up five or six glass bottles from the shelf, returned to the alchemy table, crushed the bones, scales, dried snake skin, etc. in the bottles with a stone mortar, and then added a spoonful of scarlet slurry water from the crucible. Mix well.
"Drink it and get out! I must see the high-level bone capsule before tomorrow evening! Otherwise, I will send you to the dungeon!" The bearded alchemist placed the stone mortar filled with syrup in front of Doom .
"It's the master." Doom swallowed, picked up the stone mortar, and smelled the smell, "vomit..."
Under the fierce gaze of the other party, he struggled to suppress the urge to vomit, pinched his nose and poured the liquid into his mouth.
"Gulu..."
Strange things happened.
When Doom took the first sip, the expression on his face suddenly changed from disgust to surprise, greed, and thirst... as if what he was drinking was not foul-smelling syrup, but sweet, high-quality fruit wine.
Xia Zuo raised his eyebrows and used his detection technique on Doom, who was swallowing large amounts of liquid.
【Perception】5-5→0
【Spirit】2-2→0
(Affected by unknown props, some attributes are reset to zero.)
Well boy, Doom has been outwitted again... this time because of something wrong with his drink.
Doom drank a whole mortar full of liquid.
He put the stone mortar back on the table, the whites of his eyes turned red, and he looked around confusedly, then turned his head to look due north, with a look of intoxication on his face, "I saw it... Hahaha... I saw"
"If you see it, go quickly!" The bearded alchemist pointed towards the door and warned, "Bring more people and be sure to bring the drum bag back!"
"Yes! Yes! Master! I'm going right now!" Doom shouted extremely excitedly, no longer as cautious as before.
He walked towards the door with long strides, and then jogged all the way to the motorcycle.
Xia Zuo immediately asked Servant No. 5 to follow him and attach himself to Doom's lapel.
This time I followed Doom into the Catfish Forest and gained a lot.
Not only did they discover the secret base arranged by the Mishima Group outside Jingshui Town, but they also found an alchemy room with a rich collection of books.
The most important thing is that, as the most tightly guarded secret base within the boundaries of Jingshui Town, there is "completely" no props that can detect the spiritual ocean.
Since there are no unruly elements in the entire area, there is no need to practice meditation, and there is no need to detect the spiritual ocean.
The only flaw of the hematin servant is the trace of spiritual ocean contained in the body.
This flaw is no longer a problem here. Unless Xia Zuo personally exposes the hemogen servants to outsiders, there is no need to worry that anyone can discover the existence of the hemogen servants.
However, this will not make Xia Zuo take it lightly, go beyond the disciplinary guidelines set for himself, and act at the risk of exposure.
He will remain as cautious as ever.
Xia Zuo wrote down the general location of the base on his notepad, planning to find time to explore it carefully in the future.
From the perspective of Servant No. 5.
Doom tightened the accelerator, and with two streaks of dust and billowing black smoke behind the wheels, he rushed through the gate of Stillwater Town, drove away the civilians blocking the road with a furious blast of horns, and drove straight towards the Evil Beast Arena.
He parked his motorcycle in the backyard of the arena, then climbed to the second floor of the arena, opened the door of an office, and saw his boss smoking a cigar.
"Mr. Deshawn, I brought instructions from Master Aganna. He asked me to immediately lead people to hunt down the detectives of the Yishu Group." Doom said with a grin, showing his tawny fangs.
"I heard about the lumber mill and the reservoir from the goons downstairs."
Deshawn leaned back in his chair, waved his right hand in front of him, and said:
"It was an errand arranged by the branch to send Scarface to the lumber mill to deal with the acorn pods.
"And it was your plan to have him defect into the Morgus Mountains as 'Cid', and then tear off his disguise and return to the town from the reservoir.
"Now, you told me to hunt down those two detectives? What? Do you want to start a war between Mishima and the Ishū Group?"
"They killed Scarface, Mr. Deshawn." Doom clenched his fists and said in a low voice, staring directly at Deshawn.
After all, the fat, dark-skinned man in front of him was his immediate boss.
As for the monster alchemist called Aganna...
Xia Zuo felt that he was more like a consultant, similar to Rexall's situation in the Category 3 Disaster Emergency Response Department.
Just like Xia Zuo needed Supervisor Vickers to arrange the work, Doom could only mobilize manpower and motorcycles to hunt down the two Andrews after getting Deshawn's permission.
"Do you have evidence? Doom." Deshawn tapped his finger on the table.
Doom fell silent.
Deshawn stared at Doom with blood-red eyes for a while, "Did Master Aganna give you the potion he made?"
"Yes, yes. I can sense the location of the bone sac. It is far to the north, but it has definitely not left the Morgus Mountains."
Doom pondered for a few seconds, "I want to make up for my mistake, Mr. Deshawn. It was my plan that went wrong, which affected the overall situation."
He bent down and bowed, "Please give me another chance."
"Give you a chance..." Deshawn took a puff of his cigar, looked up at the ceiling, and exhaled the fog in his lungs, "Okay. I'll give you one last chance. You can lead a team of people to chase them. But if those two The detective has entered the territory of the Ossi family in the north, you must not take action and must return immediately."
"Yes, Mr. Deshawn," Doom said loudly.
"Also." Deshawn glanced at each other up and down, "You must change your clothes and set off on horseback. Don't ride a motorcycle. Don't let anyone find out your details."
"Yes." Doom bowed again and walked towards the door.
4 o'clock in the morning in the Silver Moon Federation.
Xia Zuo looked at Doom's team and sensed the positions of Andrew and the others.
Doom was now more than 50 kilometers away from Andrew and the two, and it would be at least 6 hours before he could catch up with them on horseback.
Xia Zuo rubbed his swollen eyes, closed the book, put the newly made element bottle into the metal box, and then went to the bedroom to meditate.
The drama in Stillwater ends tomorrow.
