Shameless Warlock

noon the next day.

In the room of the Lettuce Hotel, Xu Nan put the rough potion in his hand under the sunlight and looked at it carefully.

In good sunlight, he could see a greenish sheen, and a lot of cloudy floaters.

"Very typical small workshop potion."

"The purity is very average..."

Xu Nan narrowed his eyes.

Based on his level of alchemy, it is not difficult to see that the quality of this thing is really not good, at least not very high in terms of alchemy.

The name of this potion is [Call of the Wilderness]. The name is quite impressive, but the texture is a bit embarrassing, at least not worthy of the name.

The potion was purchased by Xu Nan from a small alchemy workshop on the second roundabout, and the address was naturally the one provided by Thomas yesterday.

In order to solve the mystery of stray cats, Xu Nan took Xie Yutong to the second roundabout by boat early in the morning and found this address.

At the beginning, the apprentices in the small workshop were a little wary of the two strangers who visited rashly.

Fortunately, both of them are warlocks, and the most indispensable thing is charm. When dealing with this kind of junior apprentice, Xu Nan can easily handle it with his full charm.

The signature product of this alchemy workshop is [Call of the Wilderness]. According to the little apprentice, this thing is the only one in Stephen Sang, and even the wizards of the life school in the main city cannot make it.

As for the specific effect, although Xu Nan asked, the little apprentice hesitated and refused to explain clearly, with a mysterious look that you would know after drinking it.

This made Xu Nan wish he could knock him out with a stick on the spot, and give him a good training after losing his mind...

Fortunately, he is still sober, this is Stephen Sang after all, it is better not to use force easily if he can not use force.

In this way, Xu Nan bought all three medicines in the hands of the little apprentice, but the little apprentice still looked like you had earned your blood, which made Xu Nan puzzled.

"Isn't it a lie? Is this stuff really as valuable as that kid said?"

"Could it be that he deliberately pretended to be bewildered by my charm, but in the end he secretly blackmailed me?"

Xu Nan has doubts about her own charm.

Because he really couldn't see that there was anything special about this thing.

But when he thought about it carefully, there was no need for Thomas to deceive himself, and if this little apprentice could resist his extraordinary charm, then Stephen Sand would have been able to rule the world long ago.

The problem still lies in this bottle of potion.

Xu Nan hesitated a little.

His level of alchemy knowledge is insufficient, and he has obtained it by hard work. Among them, the skill of [Alchemy Analysis] is obviously partial, and he can only draw some very elementary conclusions, and he is completely unable to further analyze the pharmacology of this bottle of potion.

But Stephen Sang is one of the rare places where it is impossible to return directly to Paradise Lost. Xu Nan couldn't find a laboratory to analyze this potion for a while.

"You can't really take a sip like that kid said, right?"

Although he was thinking so in his heart.

But the hand opened the stopper honestly.

A simple scent of green grass comes to the nostrils, and it seems to be mixed with mint. It is a little irritating at first smell, but it will feel very comfortable after a long time.

"Over ninety-five percent harmless."

Xu Nan was silently sure.

Pharmacy is a very profound knowledge, which belongs to one of the branches of alchemy. The basic knowledge of pharmacy analysis is to see, smell and taste. Xu Nan looked at it for a long time and couldn't see the name, but after smelling it, he could confirm that the medicinal properties of this potion are very mild, and there is a high probability that it is not toxic.

Unless the toxicity is well hidden.

But this contradicts the poor production method of the potion itself, so Xu Nan is more willing to believe that this potion should not have too many bells and whistles, and its own effectiveness is the most important thing.

He hesitated for a moment, wiped the medicine with a cotton swab, and then put it on the tip of his tongue lightly.

This is the "tasting" part.

Generally speaking, most of the potions will not have a strong reaction even if they have a super-lethal effect in a very small amount, but experienced alchemists can analyze their approximate composition.

Xu Nan's experience is obviously not rich, he just pins his hopes on the Paradise Lost system.

Unfortunately, the system does not respond.

He smashed his mouth, and felt a fresh fragrance spread between his lips and teeth. At that moment, he actually had a strong urge to drink the whole potion!

The urge hit his mind frantically.

Fortunately, Xu Nan's will is strong enough, he has always been greedy for life and afraid of death, he will never make fun of his body and life!

He resolutely put the plug back in, and then threw the potion into the corner of the storage device.

"call……"

"What a strong attraction, this thing is really weird."

He wiped off his sweat and decided not to try to analyze it by himself. Instead of taking risks by himself, it is better to send the medicine back to Paradise Lost and ask John to find someone to analyze it for him.

However, just as he was thinking this way, the following item suddenly flashed on the notification bar:

[Your shared mission Mystery of the Stray Cat has been completed! 】

[Number of Newcomers Supported +1]

[You and Xie Yutong's blood relationship +1]

"That's it?"

He was a little surprised.

"Where's the reward? Where's my reward?"

Xu Nan checked it and found that helping Xie Yutong complete the task, he could not get extra rewards!

The only benefits he can get are the "number of times he has promoted newcomers" and the "blood relationship" with Xie Yutong. It is said that the number of times of supporting newcomers is quite useful in the later stage, otherwise strong people such as Luo Mang would not leave their own blood fruits in Paradise Lost; as for the degree of blood relationship, Xu Nan studied for a long time, but did not find this thing What's the use!

The system setting of Paradise Lost is, as always, a mystery... There are many things that even Offie doesn't know how to explain. After all, this is a complex system designed by Ron himself. It is said that the content that has been effectively developed is less than three years old. one-third.

Blood affinity, as the name suggests, probably means blood affinity? It couldn't be that Xu Nan helped Xie Yutong with a few tasks, and the two became relatives, right?

Thoughts raced through his mind.

But what puzzled him even more was that he had only tasted a drop of the potion, and he hadn't figured out what was going on with the mystery of the stray cat. Why did the system suddenly judge that the mission was completed?

"Is it yesterday?"

"That is to say, there is also a delay in the Paradise Lost system?"

This explanation is obviously unreasonable, Xu Nan looked at the [Call of the Wild] thrown into the corner by herself, suddenly thought of something, and stood up abruptly.

At this moment, a little black cat suddenly jumped over from the balcony of the next room, whined, and unreasonably jumped into Xu Nan's arms!

It frantically scratched Xu Nan's clothes, and then hit Xu Nan's stomach with its head...

Xu Nan looked at it thoughtfully, then suddenly picked up its neck with one hand, grabbed it and looked around, and found something wrong:

"Eh? This, is this a male cat?"

"Did I guess wrong?"

Meow meow meow!

The little earth cat waved its paw dissatisfied.

Xu Nan tentatively asked, "Xie Yutong?"

The little cat started nodding wildly with tears in his eyes!

Xu Nan swallowed, let go of her hand instantly, and threw it on the ground.

The little cat rolled on the ground in embarrassment, and pitifully grabbed Xu Nan's trouser leg.

Xu Nan looked at her, angry and funny, but what made his scalp tingle even more was that the mystery about stray cats was finally solved!

Xie Yutong also has a [Call of the Wild] potion in his hand!

It is not difficult to guess that this guy is more reckless than himself. In order to solve the mystery of stray cats, he did not hesitate to drink the potion at his own risk.

The effect of the potion is to turn people into cats.

"Ordinary transfiguration can only change into the approximate shape of an animal, but it cannot have the absolute body structure of an animal..."

"This kind of potion can actually turn people into cats, and even have reproductive organs... Oh my god, I don't know whether it is a random sex assignment or a fixed gender transfer..."

"In short, this potion has only one effect, which is to let humans try the cat's perspective, or... eh?"

Xu Nan didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The effect of the potion, combined with the little apprentice's repeated hints that this potion is very popular in Stephen Sang, and even the answer to the phenomenon that the price is hard to find is ready to come out!

He felt that Warlock Ron had no lower limit, but the wizards of Stephen Sand were even more outrageous!

He finally understood why Roger, Thomas and the others always looked constipated when they talked about this issue.

It's really unspeakable!

Those elegant cats queuing up to get on the boat are not really stray cats at all!

Those are wizards who have nowhere to vent and need stimulation due to tedious and boring witchcraft research!

How depressed they are to try such a violent way!

Xu Nan recalled the scene he saw yesterday at the Wisteria Park on the Second Roundabout, and his scalp was numb!

No wonder their eyes look so wrong.

I almost became the public enemy of wizards unintentionally!

"Can't afford to provoke, can't afford to provoke..."

Xu Nan was a little scared.

Fortunately, I got the truth of the matter from Thomas, otherwise, if the follow-up investigation continued, I might find many embarrassing incidents of rape.

"Anyway, the task has been completed, follow-up, just let it go."

Anyway, the mystery of stray cats has been solved, and Xu Nan has completed the first mission for Xie Yutong.

As for what benefits this mission can bring him...

Xu Nan thought for a moment, rolled his eyes, opened the [Internal Database-Anecdote System], used his junior prospector authority, and confirmed the editing of new entries

【Stephen Sand's Stray Cat】.

The [Son-in-law of the Arcane Empire] he established last time has been approved, and he has harvested 50 exploration points, which can be used to check information; this time, the stray cats probably contributed this little.

...

Xie Yutong accidentally turned into a little cat, and it was still a little tomcat. Although she was still sane, Xu Nan simply took her with her to prevent accidents.

In the afternoon, he was told by Miranda that he had nothing to do, saying that someone from the law enforcement team had come to visit.

Xu Nan was a little surprised, his first reaction was that Akai finally replied to himself.

But when I got downstairs, I found out that it was Thomas.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Xu Nan."

Thomas seemed in a good mood and joked with the proprietress, which made Miranda happy and gave him a bottle of home-brewed beer.

"Good afternoon." Xu Nan signaled to go upstairs to talk.

Thomas nodded and followed.

When he arrived in the room, he saw Xie Yutong, and he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"So you really have a pet cat."

Xu Nan sat down calmly: "Otherwise? I'm not as boring as some of Stephen Sand's wizards."

This sentence actually hints at something.

Thomas smiled awkwardly, apparently understanding Xu Nan's hint.

He informed Xu Nan of the address of that small workshop last night, and Xu Nan retrieved the pet cat today and said such a nonsense, naturally Xu Nan knew the secret of the stray cat.

"I still want to thank you for your guidance." Xu Nan sincerely thanked: "Otherwise, I'm afraid I will have to make a lot of detours."

"It should."

Thomas' attitude was very gentle. He looked around and suddenly whispered:

"I came here today because of what happened yesterday."

"All the information you want about [the attacker in the back of the head] is here."

He quickly took out a kraft paper bag and put it on the table, the contents inside were heavy.

Xu Nan smiled and quickly took the things over.

Thomas's efficiency was so fast, far beyond his expectations.

He quickly browsed through it, and found that there are a lot of very precious internal information of the law enforcement team here!

"In addition, I want to remind you of one thing."

Thomas said solemnly: "The sneak attack on the back of the head is not a simple vicious attack. With the addition of some imitators, this has become a modus operandi that may be used maliciously."

"Imitator?" Xu Nan narrowed his eyes.

Thomas sat on a chair, his back straight, his hair combed to the last detail, shining in the sunlight:

"In the beginning, it might just be a grandstanding silliness by some prankster or vicious incident enthusiast."

"However, as the incident was widely reported by the newspapers, many imitation incidents appeared in the city, and these incidents were most likely not done by the original criminals, which greatly increased the difficulty of solving the case."

Xu Nan put the information on the table, frowning slightly:

"I do not understand."

Thomas patiently explained:

"I know what you're confused about. Why are there so many imitators?"

"That's why I came to visit today."

"According to my investigation, these imitators are all targeting people from Paradise Lost!"

Xu Nan narrowed her eyes: "Someone is targeting Paradise Lost?"

"It's embarrassing to say that, but it's true."

Thomas sighed: "There are always some people who don't understand the general situation and try to show their sense of existence."

"These people pose a great threat to the law and order of Stephen Sand."

"Although it's just my guess, I'm more than 80% sure, so I came here to remind you. Although you don't know why, you are very interested in this case, but what you need to know is that this case itself is very complicated. Some people in the world follow suit, so there is a great danger to the warlocks of Paradise Lost."

"My advice is, don't go out easily at night."

He reminded sincerely.

Xu Nan nodded, pressed his right hand on the information bag, glanced between Thomas and the information bag from time to time, and fell into deep thought.
