Chapter 84 This time, she wants to stay
Mi Ke held the pestle in his hand and pounded the medicine intermittently.
Sweat beads slid from the forehead to the bridge of the nose, and a drop of sweat quickly gathered at the tip of the small nose.
Tick-tock, beads of sweat fall on the table.
He pounded the medicine while counting his heartbeats and grinding it while calculating his breathing. He was even so strict that the tone of the spell required after each step had to be followed.
"Potions is a very sophisticated and rigorous subject. How can we just do it as we please?"
She stopped what she was doing and couldn't help mumbling.
The last time they talked about brewing potions, Linde actually used the so-called "idealism" to judge, which made her feel uncomfortable for a long time.
All the work she did was to listen to Uni. It would be ridiculous if she used a formula to sense power. The steps of making potions were not rigidly defined. It was the repeated trial and error of predecessors that finally resulted in this formula that was extremely close to success. It was like narrowing down the range of choices and saving a lot of time.
Of course, if one is favored by the magic ring, then perhaps there is no need to take potions at all. One can just grab a higher-level heart of disaster and swallow it, and still be promoted.
He stopped what he was doing and carefully put the potion into a glass bottle.
Open the box where the potion ingredients are stored and put the bottle away.
"Snapped!"
The box was closed, and the sound was very abrupt in the room.
She muttered something again, and her thoughts suddenly drifted away somehow.
Last time, she saw Lian with her own eyes pushing the door and entering Linde's room carrying a basket. Although she didn't stay there for long, it didn't mean she didn't do anything. Maybe Linde was just fast.
I have received such a great favor from Lind, and considering his health, cooking a potion that a man needs should be considered a repayment.
There is a strange damp feeling in the palm of my hand.
Mi Ke rubbed his sweaty palms on the table and then muttered, "How disgusting!"
Recently, she sometimes dreams of a lion catching a rabbit, which has made her sense of Uni's power a little dull, and all of this is Lind's fault!
The magic potion for advancement is almost ready, only the most critical steps are missing. I believe it won't be too far away.
Thinking about it, Miko herself felt surprised. She had traveled all the way here and gained a lot of benefits along the way, but none of them could compare to the short few days after she met Linde.
Of course, the most amazing thing is him. If he were the lord, he would definitely choose to suppress the power of his subordinates.
Only by ensuring that you are absolutely powerful can you ensure the concentration of power.
If the people under his command have the power to overthrow him at any time, the lord will probably be unable to sleep or eat.
Or was this the pedantry of the old nobility? Did they really think that emotions could transcend interests? Judging from her years of wandering, nothing could resist interests. If there was, it was just that the money was not enough.
While laughing at the other person's naivety, Mi Ke suddenly found that he seemed to be more willing to stay with such people. Everyone was laughing at honest people, but everyone would choose to be with honest people rather than cunning ones.
"But there is not the slightest bit of aristocratic temperament!" She felt as if the palm of her hand was licked by a lion again.
Goose bumps are definitely the most vicious curse in the world. They come with embarrassment, make people feel excruciating pain, and make their toes cramp.
"Ms. Miko!" A rude voice came from outside through the wall: "Open the door, you have the ability to open a potion shop, why don't you have the ability to open the door~"
Only those mentally ill undead can talk like this.
I really don't know where these people get the energy from every day. If it were me who could die and be resurrected infinitely, Mi Ke felt that I would collapse instead of happily exploring new ways to die every day.
Before, Mi Ke regarded this group of people as normal people. However, one day when she saw someone climb to the highest point of Star Dragon Post and suddenly spread his arms and jumped down, she knew that she should not restrain them with normal people's thinking.
Maybe this is the price of immortality. Miko left the room and raised his hand to fan the air.
The sudden breath of fresh air made her feel like she was back to the human world, and the emotions of being harassed by the lion were quickly suppressed.
When the door of the potion shop was opened, two ferocious heads poked their heads in.
The undead who chose to drink the Etin-Man Path potion seemed very stupid to Miko, but the power of Star Dragon Sentry had indeed reached an unprecedented peak.
To put it bluntly, if these two-headed men had been there before, they would never have been so embarrassed when facing the superior black knight. Maybe, no, they would definitely have won easily.
"The Lord has ordered that all shops be closed during the war preparation period!"
During the preparation period, all shops were closed, while the blacksmith shop and potion shop launched limited-time promotions.
One pre-war preparation can almost clear out the undead people's gold coins and points.
Miko was puzzled by why Lind always tried to clear out the undead's property. After the currency function of the Rand Gold Coin was gradually replaced by faction points, Lind racked his brains to squeeze out the undead's points.
No matter from which angle you look at it, the undead who have collectively been promoted to the Grand Knight class have some savings in their hands, and then developing the economy with them as the main force is more suitable for Star Dragon Outpost.
Even in Miko's opinion, points are a very backward thing. One can only gain points by having people pledge allegiance to him. Points cannot be traded, and will be automatically cleared if one chooses to leave.
Not only that, items in the points store will not be sold for just a few points. You need to reach a certain level of evaluation, and there are even purchase limits.
It's full of the feudal atmosphere of the old aristocracy, and it's a good thing that the undead people are so lively and happy to accept it.
"I'm not here to buy anything." The undead man pointed behind him and said, "The lord sent a singer here."
"singer?"
What a strange name, but she has become accustomed to the strange words that often come out of the mouths of the undead.
Mi Ke saw three people who grew up in a ladder-like manner, one man and two women, and the man was a dwarf.
She had some impression of the dwarf. If he was from Prey Town, he should be the one she had accidentally glimpsed.
A very important point in taking a higher-level potion is the guidance of sound. If someone sings in your ear, it will undoubtedly increase the chances of success. She has even heard that someone can boil singing into potion. If you drink it when trying to get promoted, you will be able to hear soft singing ringing in your ears.
"You're pretty efficient," the rabbit teeth poked out slightly.
Unexpectedly, just because she had mentioned that taking the potion while listening to singing might increase the success rate, Lind immediately found three people with good vocal conditions for her.
"You will learn a few poems next." After finally lowering his lips that were almost exposing his gums and covering his rabbit teeth, Mi Ke instructed the three people: "You must sing with your heart and try to express the emotions. I will keep the most suitable person."
The most suitable one will stay, but what about the unsuitable one?
The three people, short, medium and tall, looked at each other and knew that they had to try their best to perform.
Miko reached out his hand to the two-headed undead, and the other party immediately handed him a task scroll.
The magic gathered at Miko's fingertips, leaving a mark that was unique to her, which also meant that the other party's mission was completed.
"Is there 10 points?" Mi Ke finally glanced at the mission reward. No wonder the undead would still accept escort missions even though it was already the preparation period.
Everyone in Star Dragon Outpost knew that a fierce battle was about to break out.
Miko also has a tough battle ahead of her. Instead of waiting here, she hopes to be promoted to a high-level wizard as soon as possible so that she can catch up with that tough battle.
In the past, when she passed through other territories and encountered trouble, the first thing she would think of was leaving.
This time, she wanted to stay.
