The career of an evil alchemist that started with picking up a crazy sword girl

Hearing Lu Lin's voice, the night elf witch was slightly stunned.

"Are you interested in this bottle of medicine?" She asked in a slightly surprised tone.

"Well, a little bit," Lu Lin nodded, "So, what does this soothing the soul mean?"

"This... To be honest, I don't know much," said the night elf witch, "This is a very ancient potion. Legend has it that a night elf king created it to soothe the damaged souls of warriors when fighting against an ancient tribe called the Walkers of the Underworld."

"It is said that this is the rarest potion, and the blessing potion that can accompany the drinker throughout his life."

"But now, the war between the night elves and the Walkers of the Underworld is over. For many years, the ancient tribe of the Nether Beach Walkers has disappeared for too long. "

"In addition, the soul has always been the most mysterious and difficult to study. This kind of potion is now almost only used for the coming-of-age ceremony of the night elves. I will only refine it according to the inheritance. As for whether it has any effect..."

"Anyway, I didn't feel any difference after drinking it that year."

"Since it is said to be a medicine for healing soul damage, if the soul has never been damaged, there should be no feeling after drinking it, right?" Lu Lin asked.

"Who knows, I haven't heard of any situation that can damage the soul these days," the night elf witch said lightly, "I don't know why you are interested in this thing, but I have to remind you that although I am not sure whether it is useful, the cost of refining it is not low. It is one of the most expensive potions on this list."

"How much is it exactly?" Lu Lin asked.

"One gold and twenty silver," the night elf witch replied.

"Very good, I want a bottle," Lu Lin said without hesitation.

The night elf witch's eyelids moved, she looked at Lu Lin, then looked at Li Mi beside her, and let out a long breath, saying: "The deposit is 20 silver, come back in three days, remember to bring the full amount."

"Okay," Lu Lin said, and took out two stacks of silver coins from his purse and pushed them in front of the night elf witch.

At this moment, the one-horned marmot just ran over with the brewed tea.

After lifting the tea tray to the table, it climbed onto the table nimbly, helped Lu Lin and others put the tea cups in place, and then filled them with black tea.

"Stew the meat, keep the money," the night elf witch ordered the marmot.

"Got it..." The marmot dragged out a long tone, put down the teapot with a bitter face, then picked up the silver coins and ran up the stairs, running and bumping all the way, and the silver coins fell all the way.

"This..." Lu Lin pointed at the marmot.

"It will remember to pick it up later, don't worry," the night elf witch said, picking up the black tea and blowing it gently.

"Well, this is it," Lu Lin scratched his cheek, "I actually wanted to ask just now, is its name 'stew'?"

"Yeah, it's not strange," said the night elf witch, "the name of the familiar must be a little obscure, so that it is convenient to pass on the secret code to them. Why, you don't have your own familiar yet?"

"Not yet... uh, that, I'm not actually a wizard," Lu Lin said.

"I know, it's a black alchemist," the night elf witch said lightly.

Lu Lin was stunned when he heard it, and asked hurriedly: "This, I showed it? How did you see it?"

"Night elves have the ability to see through spell power and black magic," said the night elf witch, "There is a faint spell power residue on your hands, and there is still the unique smell of alchemists on your body. It is not difficult to guess your identity. Ah, if you want to hide your identity, remember to spray some perfume next time, and then wash your hands with those so-called holy water before going out."

"This, is it like this..." Lu Lin scratched his head, raised his shoulders, and tried to smell the smell on his body. It seems that he can faintly smell a little herbal smell?

Hmm...

Could it be that this smell is actually very obvious to others?

It seems that he will have to ask Lan Jie later.

"Let's talk about the familiar later," said the night elf witch, "Now, according to the agreement, you can ask anything about the Black Magic School. Well, but first, I guess you just received the invitation?"

"Yes," Lu Lin nodded, "Just this morning."

"It's not strange, the school is like this, when you want to find them, you can't even find a ghost, and when they need to find you, they can immediately drill out from the ground," said the night elf witch, "So, what do you want to ask? Ask me, a senior, whether I recommend you to join the Black Magic School?"

"I guess so," Lu Lin shrugged, "I just arrived in the chaotic land not long ago, and I don't know much about these things. There are too few. "

"Well... In my opinion, it's better to join," said the night elf witch, "The reason... I think the invitation letter should be very clear, and you have seen the benefits, which are very tempting, right?"

"Well," Lu Lin nodded, "but it only wrote about the benefits, but did not mention any obligations. Obviously, they didn't say everything."

Hearing Lu Lin's words, the night elf witch's eyes suddenly widened, and after a moment of silence, she said: "Ah, it's really annoying. Don't you make it seem that I was stupid for joining the school without thinking about it back then?"

"Ah this..." Lu Lin's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

"You are right. The benefits of the school are not given for free. However, you should have heard that the internal management of each dark school is very loose, so you don't have to worry about any mandatory obligations to join the school," said the night elf witch, "but if you want to get benefits from the school, you have to make corresponding contributions and obtain contribution points enough to exchange for what you want, such as providing materials needed by various schools, completing tasks announced by the school, or even donating money directly."

"Ah, so it's a points system," Lu Lin suddenly realized, "That's good."

"Well, so just joining the school as a free member doesn't need to worry about anything. Of course, if you want to go to the headquarters, that's another matter," said the night elf witch, "Ah, but don't be too happy too soon. They should have given you a test, and that thing is not easy to solve."

Chapter 126 This damn class exploitation is really everywhere.

"This formula is actually used for communication. As long as you smash the potion you have made, the nearby school administrators will receive your message."

The night elf witch spread the invitation letter she got from Lulin on the table.

"This thing is a test and also a consent form. After it is made and used, the school administrator closest to you will sense it, and then come to you to help you complete the registration of school members."

"And after you join the school, this formula is still useful. You can regard it as a signal flare for emergency help from the school."

"School members basically have two bottles on them. If they encounter trouble, just smash it and they can ask for help from the nearby school administrators."

"Most of the school administrators are quite powerful. As long as they don't get into particularly big trouble, they can mostly help you settle it."

"Of course, their actions are not free. As long as you use it, A large amount of contribution points will be deducted from you, and if the trouble is serious, a large amount of contribution points will be deducted. "

"So unless you have too much money to burn, don't use this thing to ask for help."

"Oh, by the way, if your contribution points are not enough to pay the bill, the school will deduct your contribution points to a negative number."

"If the contribution points are negative, if you ask the school for help again, they will only help you once, and the contribution points deducted this time will be doubled."

"And after that, the school will not help you again until you pay off your debts."

"As for how they know that it is you who are asking for help..."

The dark elf witch pointed to some of the ingredients in the recipe.

"Have you seen this part of the materials? You should be able to see that this pile of stuff is actually useless. Adding it or not will not affect the effect of the potion."

"But you still have to add it according to the distribution when refining, because this is actually something similar to an identity number. Each member of the school gets a different one. With this thing, the exerciser can know who is sending a message to them."

"And if the identity number does not exist, they will not come."

"If the location of the identity number of the distress signal is inconsistent with the intelligence held by the school, they will also go, but they will be very cautious."

Listening to the other party's narration, Lu Lin was really a little surprised.

At first, I heard that the school was a very loose organization, and Lu Lin thought that this organization would be the type that didn't care much about the life and death of its members.

But now it seems that the other party is more humane than he imagined. He actually cares so much about the life and death of members, and even if they are in debt, they still have a chance to ask for emergency help.

"It all sounds good," Lu Lin said, "So what's so difficult about this thing? Is it difficult to refine it simply?"

"No, it's just an intermediate alchemy formula. Even if you're not a high-level alchemist yet, you can always figure it out with more research. The problem is here..." The night elf witch said, pointing to one of the materials, "This, echo violet."

"Echo violet?" Lu Lin touched his chin.

He had never seen this material before, but when he thought of the name, Lu Lin had some relevant knowledge in his mind.

It was a material that generally only grew on the top of the cliff. It contained the magical power that allowed sound signals to be transmitted over long distances. It was a very commonly used material when it came to potions and formations related to long-distance communication.

"Well, this thing seems to be quite rare..." Lu Lin muttered, "So the problem is that the material is hard to buy?"

"No, the problem is that it can't be bought at all," said the night elf witch, "The school that uses a similar model to recruit members is not only the Black Magic School. Almost all dark schools, even some ancient sects, use a similar model to recruit members, and these methods cannot get around this material."

"You also know that this is actually the territory of the Tianri Cult. Although their management of independent city-states cannot be as strict as their direct forces, they will not want people from other forces to expand on their territory."

"Although they will not try to completely block the possibility of various forces recruiting people, and they can't do it, they don't prevent other forces from causing trouble."

"So in many areas of the Land of Chaos, the circulation of Echo Violet is completely cut off. If you want to find this thing, you either go to the black market auction, or you have to leave the city and look for it in the wild."

Hearing this, Lu Lin frowned immediately, thought about it, and asked, "If you go to the black market auction, how much money can you usually get it?"

"It's very expensive," the night elf witch said. "Because they know very well who will buy this thing, and they also know that this thing will never be sold, so if it is an auction, there are actually people who are there to raise the price. The transaction amount is generally around one gold coin."

"One gold coin? That seems okay?" Lu Lin touched his chin.

"Not at all. One gold coin is just the price of one flower. If it can be done with one flower, then the school will definitely prepare some and then give you one directly," the night elf witch said, "But in fact, according to the application Different methods require different amounts of echo violets consumed. The potion formula prepared by the Black Demon School for black alchemists and wizards already uses the least amount of materials, but the refining of a bottle of medicine also requires about ten echo violets. , and you have to consider the possibility of refining failure, so you have to prepare at least twenty or thirty flowers to be safe. Then, these black markets naturally take this into consideration, so they are very considerate. When auctioning this thing, It was shot by Bai Duoqi.”

"Damn it, that means you have to spend hundreds of gold coins to get the goods through auction? Are you robbing money?" Lu Lin's face turned dark.

"You're right, it's a money grab, or an official money grab. Where do you think the goods in the black market come from? They are all released by the government. This is a blackmail tailor-made for us," the night elf witch said, "They It’s clear that for intermediate and advanced alchemists and witches, although this money is a lot, it’s not impossible to save it as long as we work here for a year or two.”

"What the hell, are we just going to let them choke?" Lu Lin frowned slightly, "The school has never considered asking Xingxing to help get some of this material? It's okay to sell it at normal prices."

"Of course the school has thought about it and can do this, but don't forget, this is a test. The school always wants to see your ability, and the way to solve this problem is your answer sheet," the night elf witch shrugged. , "Ah, by the way, at the same time, this is also a rule, an unspoken rule between the major forces. When you are being bullied here, you must know that people from other forces are also suffering the same abuse within the school's sphere of influence. Bullying, they will never be ripped off less than us."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin's mouth twitched.

Why does he feel like something is wrong?

How come it seems that the major forces are targeting each other, but in the end they are working together to take advantage of all the lower-level members?

Looking at Lu Lin's expression, the dark elf witch smiled and said: "Hmph, it seems that someone understands that they are nobles, and we are civilians. As civilians, we always have to pay taxes..."

“Damn, class exploitation is really everywhere,” Lu Lin sighed.

"So, if you don't want to spend money, the best way is to go out and find it yourself," the dark elf witch said, "It is more dangerous. I suggest you find a way to hire a high-level soldier as a guard, so that even if something happens , as long as the other party can take you to escape, it may also be expensive. "

"No, I just applied for a store in the city, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get out now," Lu Lin shook his head and said, "Damn it, is there no other way?"

"Well... If you insist on saying it, there is actually another way." The Dark Elf Witch took a sip of black tea, then raised her eyes and looked at Lu Lin and said, "I can use my contribution points to directly buy some Echo Violet from the school. you."

"However, according to the rules, if you do this, you will not be considered a formal member of the school in the future, but will need to be my assistant for three years, and then you can become a full member with my guarantee."

"During your time as an assistant, you will not have your own contribution point account. If you want to enjoy the various benefits of the school, you have to go through my hands."

"But, with all due respect, we are not familiar with each other."

"I can't guarantee you unconditionally, nor can I help you get an agency account for free, so if you really want to choose this path, you either really want to be my assistant, or I'll take 30% of your contribution points. "

"No, I don't have this idea," Lu Lin shook his head. "What I want to say is that there is nothing...for example, is there any way to use other materials to replace Echo Violet?"

"As far as I know, there is none," the dark elf witch shrugged, "How about you research it? If you research it, you might be able to exchange it for millions of contribution points?"

Of course, the Dark Elf Witch's words were purely a joke.

After all, if it were that easy to get around the Echo Violet, the major forces wouldn't have used it to choke each other for so long.

To this day, I don’t know how many master-level tasks, and even grandmaster-level figures have studied similar topics, hoping to break the current rule system for the expansion of various forces and take the lead in establishing a new expansion order, but in the end, they obviously all Failed.

But just for this joke, she didn't wait for a response for a long time.

On the other hand, Lu Lin clasped his hands together and put them on his forehead, seeming to be really thinking about the possibilities.

"Hey, you can't really..." the dark elf witch tried to speak, but saw a killer whale doll suddenly raised in front of her eyes.

She was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the girl beside her who had been eating snacks on the table in silence since she entered the door.

At this moment, the large plate of snacks prepared on the table had been completely eaten by the girl, and even the corners of the girl's mouth were still stained with crumbs of snacks.

It should have been a rather funny sight to be pointed at a doll by such a little girl, but for some reason, the dark elf witch felt a pressure as heavy as a mountain.

Looking at the girl making a silent gesture with her other hand, she swallowed the words that were about to come to her lips.

Chapter 127 This is a great rebellion

From the time he came into contact with alchemy to the present, Lu Lin has actually only been refining fixed things according to fixed formulas, just like a chef who has just started to learn to cook can only cook according to recipes step by step.

But Lu Lin knew very well in his heart that this was not really alchemy.

With the scientific concept of his previous life, he always believed that alchemy should be a science in essence.

Only by figuring out the logical principles of the formula, the properties of various materials, the ingredients that work, the nature of spell power and magic power, and truly understanding why each formula achieves the final result, can we truly understand alchemy.

This is obviously a long-term goal and requires a long process.

But Lu Lin vaguely had a hunch that only by using this kind of thinking to understand alchemy can we make further progress.

During this period, after a lot of practice, Lu Lin also initially formed his own understanding system of alchemy.

Of course, relying on this little bit of personal understanding alone is definitely not enough to bypass the echo violet to make the communication potion.

But Lu Lin has an advantage that no one else has.

That is the huge formula library in his mind, as well as the relevant knowledge of all the materials needed to use the entire formula library.

Echo violet is special.

But is there really no substitute in this world?
