Chapter 12
The Law of "It's So Good!"
After comparing the basic stats of the Sea Clan and the audience, Xia'er's lips twitched slightly. So the early-stage Storm Path was this strong?
He started at Sequence 5 and hadn't really thought about how a low-sequence Extraordinary would fight.
That's not right. The Storm Path isn't just strong in the early game, it's strong all the time.
Even the dual-path true god who held the blasphemous tablet and herded the uniqueness of error did not gain much advantage in his first challenge against the Elf King.
So the problem still stems from the shame of the tyrant?
So what do you think, Leodorus?!
When Xia Er thought of the Storm Lord, who was still a crab in the era of strife and walked sideways, he felt a sense of being talented but unappreciated and born at the wrong time.
It's a real headache that the old guard is holding onto his position and suppressing newcomers.
"We can invite this gentleman to witness our transaction."
"I'll give you an address after you get the Blood of the Ghost Shark."
Alger learned to fleece the "fools" without any instruction.
"Sir, is that alright?"
The enraged man of Sequence 8 rose and made a request to the gentleman seated at the head of the table.
"Sir, is that alright?"
"How should we address you?"
Audrey also rose, lifted her skirt slightly, and gave a standard curtsy.
While Sharel was sharing what she had seen and heard at the Tarot meeting with her own era of strife through the Crimson Star, she was only slightly stunned when the other two stood up.
This crimson star helps Chael connect two eras, keeping his consciousness and thoughts in sync.
Shael glanced silently at Klein, feeling it was none of her business. Then she saw "Klein" lightly tap the bronze table with his fingers, applying sufficient pressure before withdrawing his hand, interlacing his fingers, resting them on his chin, and speaking in a controlled tone:
You can call me...
A natural pause
"Fool."
Shael witnessed the whole thing. He withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and began to admire the strange patterns on the bronze table...
Hmm, the striped design is really nice, like ocean waves, it has an elfin style...
"The Fool?" ×2
The simple address stirred ripples in Audrey and Alger's hearts, inexplicably associating them with positive adjectives such as mysterious, powerful, and eerie.
I consider myself a wise man.
Chael's lips trembled slightly, and the more she looked at the patterns on the bronze table, the more pleasing they became to the eye.
"It was a small thing."
"You can continue."
Faced with the two men's respectful request, "The Fool" gestured with his right hand and responded with a smile.
Alger sat down again and looked at Audrey, saying:
"The address is 'Warrior and the Sea' bar in Port Pritz, White Rose District, Pelican Street."
"Tell the boss there that this is the cargo the captain wants."
"Once I confirm, I will send you the potion recipe you want."
Alger said, glancing at Shael.
"You can just tell her here that I know the audience's potion recipes, I'm just too lazy to sell them."
Xia Er waved his hand. He had eaten the brain of the Mind Dragon before. With spices and sea salt, it tasted like the tofu pudding from his hometown.
"As a witness, Mr. Fool, I truly know."
"I'll add," Xia Er said.
Klein was taken aback, but nodded nonetheless. Of course, he couldn't refuse, because he also wanted to hear the audience's potion recipes.
Whether Xia Er truly knew or pretended to know, Klein didn't care; after this gathering, they wouldn't have any further contact anyway.
"Mr. Fool, I will keep my promise. Even if I don't get the Ghost Shark's blood, I will compensate you with an equivalent amount of gold pounds."
Audrey continued.
She always learns very quickly.
Although Alger wanted to wait until he received the goods before informing him of the formula, given the current situation, he couldn't delay any longer and simply said:
Main ingredients: eyes of an adult mandarin fish, 35 ml of blood from a blackfish.
"Auxiliary materials: 80 ml of pure water, 5 drops of colchicine extract, 13 grams of purslane powder, and 7 petals of fairy flower."
"Making the potion is very simple. Just add the ingredients in the order I tell you, the order is..."
"It's better to have less main ingredients than more, and it's okay to have less auxiliary ingredients."
"80 ml of purified water, 5 drops of daffodil extract..."
As Audrey recalled and recited the instructions, Alger assisted her, and the girl quickly memorized the correct order of the potion's ingredients.
From Xia'er's perspective, a raw food enthusiast, a potion recipe that requires even auxiliary ingredients to be precise down to the milliliter is not suitable for elves.
Even vampires would probably shake their heads if they saw the apothecary's potion recipes.
Seeing the girl reciting softly over and over again, Xia Er seemed to see himself as a repeating machine before, and chimed in:
"The preparation of potions is not that complicated. Just throw in the main ingredients and auxiliary ingredients. The key is to relax and meditate after taking the potion."
"Meditation is also very simple. The simplest meditation is to close your eyes and imagine yourself as a painter, using your spirit as a brush to depict the outline of your facial features. The key is to guide your spirit. If you can't paint, you should have other hobbies."
Xia Er casually offered some pointers.
"I have a dedicated art teacher, and my work has been praised by my teacher."
Audrey felt a little smug. Painting was one of her strengths, and she never expected that mastering painting would help her become an extraordinary person.
"Then I wish you a speedy recovery in gathering the necessary potion ingredients and becoming a true extraordinary being."
Chael offered his blessings.
"Thank you again for your guidance."
Audrey smiled, looking at the Fool with a sparkle in her eyes and a hint of anticipation:
"Mr. Fool, would you mind trying this a few more times?"
Well done!
Chael applauded inwardly.
He also wanted to try whether the rituals of sacrifice and bestowal could lead directly to the Fourth Age!
How can the "fool's" attempt stop here?
"Mr. Fool, perhaps we can help you with some trivial matters at some point."
Alger then made the suggestion.
In his view, rather than being left in this ambiguous situation, where he might be pulled back into this mysterious space at any moment, it would be better to take the initiative and find a way to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits.
"I think your attempt has not been completely successful yet."
Shael looked at "The Fool" and said.
He's really looking forward to the next attempt.
Klein pondered the three people's requests.
He had already gotten a potion recipe for free, so he wouldn't lose anything even if he refused their offer.
However, the main ingredients for those two potions seemed to be deep-sea creatures, and he had absolutely no way of obtaining them.
They got a potion recipe at just the first gathering. What if they held more gatherings? Wouldn't they get even more?
Mr. Fool chuckled and said:
"Your proposal has piqued my interest."
"I'm someone who values equal exchange; I won't ask for your help unconditionally."
Every Monday at 3 PM.
"I will hold a party."
