Master Tongtian

Chapter 226 You do things without considering the consequences, right? (56)

Philander Village is in the south of the city, and Lily Manor is in the east of the city. They are about 16 miles away from each other, which is not too far.

The road was not bad either. The Bright Moon carriage, escorted by the Silver Moon Rangers, sped along and arrived at the end of the field in less than forty minutes, and it was less than two o'clock in the afternoon.

When we arrived at the entrance of the manor, as soon as we got out of the car, Butler Lovi greeted Rosen warmly when he saw him.

"Ah~ the master guessed right~ Please come in, please come in~ Please come in quickly."

Rosen then pointed at the Silver Moon Rangers who were following him: "They are all my comrades in arms, and the steward arranged a resting place for them."

"No problem. There is a small lake in the backyard of the manor. Gentlemen can go there to fish and relax. If you are sleepy, there are enough rooms to rest."

Rosen motioned to Watson: "Go ahead, I'll let you know if anything happens."

Afterwards, he followed the housekeeper to the manor villa.

"Has Madam been focusing on refining medicine recently?"

"Yes~ Madam's alchemy skills are very powerful, much better than those so-called famous alchemists."

Rosen recalled Vivian's strange behavior in Philander Village before, and a strange thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

Of course, there is no evidence for this idea, it is just conjecture.

"When I meet Vivian, I'll trick her and I'll probably get the answer."

Entering the villa lobby, Butler Lovi saluted Rosen.

"Madam is in the alchemy room in the basement. The entrance is over there. You can go there by yourself."

Rosen nodded, secretly alert in his heart, but he didn't feel panic because the constant lucky shield effect on him was still there.

Walking to the basement door, he knocked gently: "Vivian, is it convenient for me to come in now?"

‘Click~’

There was a soft sound from behind the door, and then Vivian's voice came out.

"Honey, the door is open, come in."

Rosen pushed open the door and entered.

After entering the door, there is a semicircular staircase going down. After walking down a few steps, you will see a wide and slightly dark basement.

The basement is at least a hundred square meters, surrounded by flat stone walls and wooden boards on the floor. There is a long square table in the middle with all kinds of strange utensils on it.

Most are made of crystal glass, and some are made of ceramics, brass, and bronze.

Rosen observed carefully and discovered tools commonly used in chemical laboratories such as distillers, thermometers, alcohol lamps, etc., and they were all quite exquisite in shape.

On the walls on both sides, there were many wooden shelves, and there were many glass bottles on the shelves. The bottles contained all kinds of weird things that Rosen couldn't name.

Vivian was standing busy at the square table.

She was wearing a thick leather apron, thick leather gloves, and a beak leather mask on her head. After seeing Rosen, she pointed to a set of thick leather protective equipment on the wall next to the door.

"Hurry up and put it on, there are a lot of things inside that are highly poisonous."

Rosen didn't dare to slack off and immediately complied.

Even if there is a poison shield on her body, Alfreya may not be able to cure Vivian's poison.

After putting it on, he still stood five or six meters apart.

"It's a little dark inside. Do you need me to keep a magic light ball on the ceiling?"

Vivian immediately shook her head: "No, no, no~ many materials don't like strong light."

After hearing this, Rosen knew that the other party did have a very in-depth study of alchemy.

Seeing that the other party was concentrating on refining some unknown potion, he did not interrupt and waited quietly.

After about ten minutes, the potion seemed to be refined successfully.

Vivian put out the alcohol lamp and said to Rosen: "Look at the wall. There is a pull-out ventilation fan. Please pull it down for me to ventilate this room."

Rosen complied, pulling and pulling, and sure enough, a lot of fresh air flowed into the basement, replacing the slightly dirty air.

Vivian carefully put the newly made potion into a crystal bottle and sealed the mouth of the bottle with tinfoil. Then she looked at Rosen and smiled sweetly: "Let's go and talk in the hall."

The two took off their protective clothing and returned to sit in the hall.

After sitting down, Vivian smiled sweetly at Rosen: "My dear, do you really miss me that much?"

Rosen's face was solemn, his eyes were cold, and he was holding the flower staff tightly with one hand.

"Vivian, I was sorry to you before, but I have sincerely apologized. Why are you still hurting me?"

Vivian's expression froze slightly, and her eyes flickered: "Harm you? No."

"snort!"

Rosen sneered: "Faerun is my mortal enemy, but you helped him break through the master cliff! Isn't this a great harm to me?"

Vivian's expression froze completely, and it took a while for her to calm down, and she looked at Rosen with strange eyes.

"How did you know?"

"I guessed it, and your reaction told me I was right."

While speaking, Rosen had already softened his demeanor because he knew that Vivian was not a threat to him.

Seeing him like this, Vivian also relaxed her tense mind and gently raised her hand to pat her forehead.

"Hey~ It's really scary to deal with a smart person like you. You can't hide any secrets."

Then he looked at Rosen cautiously: "I really didn't mean it."

Rosen nodded: "You want to test the medicine on him, right?"

When Vivian heard this, she immediately smiled sweetly, her eyes shining with excitement.

"Yes, yes~ My magic power has reached its peak, but I haven't been able to break through it, so I tried to refine an archmage potion."

"I thought about various methods, and I finally found one that might be effective, and I made the finished product."

"But I don't dare to use it myself, and it's hard to find a high-level peak mage. Even if I find one, I'm sure they won't be willing to test the medicine on me."

Rosen understood.

"So, you took advantage of the sudden death of Master Electrolux and when Faerun was devastated and depressed, to trick him into taking the potion?"

"That's right."

Vivian was beaming with joy, as if she had done something very proud.

"But Feren is a high-level mage after all. Even if he feels depressed, he will definitely not give me a test."

"So, I made a stun potion using white umbrella, poisonous fireweed and heart-wrenching flower, and then I hid it outside his window and secretly exchanged a few words. As a result, he drank the potion stupidly."

Rosen listened carefully and felt that things sounded simple, but in practice they were very complicated and easy to make mistakes.

"Aren't you afraid that Faerun will beat you to death if he finds out?"

Vivian didn't care.

"The process of pursuing true knowledge is always dangerous. In fact, this danger is nothing to me. I have done more dangerous things, and I almost died that time."

Rosen frowned slightly: "The most dangerous existence in the highlands than the high-level peak mage is the earl. You didn't give the earl medicine, right?"

Recalling that the housekeeper once said that Vivian had designed the Moon-Watching Garden for the Earl, I felt that this was extremely possible!

Vivian waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, no~ How dare I test the medicine on the earl? It would really kill people. Actually, ahem~~~ It's over anyway, so I won't mention it."

She didn't seem to want to mention the past and immediately changed the subject.

But Rosen thought about lightning and already guessed another possibility.

He suddenly lowered his voice and looked at Vivian with a look that looked like a lunatic: "The ancient evil god in Yuehui Town unexpectedly awakened, couldn't it be you who did it?!"

He originally suspected Faerun, but after knowing that Faerun's background was Electrolux and that he had not been punished by the count, he knew that this matter probably had nothing to do with Faerun.

Since it has nothing to do with Faerun, and the person who did this must be a powerful mage, then Vivian, an alchemist who has no fear of God, is very possible.

Vivian's face suddenly turned white and she immediately denied it.

"No, no, no, it's not me!"

Rosen stared closely.

Vivian's voice became smaller and smaller: "I didn't mean it, I just wanted to get some extraordinary materials to make medicine."

The sound was as low as a mosquito's chirp.

Rosen was extremely speechless. He believed that what Vivian said was true, but he also deeply felt that this woman was strange.

"You do things without thinking about the consequences?"

Vivian spread her hands, looking aggrieved.

"There are countless secrets in the world, most of which I don't know. Isn't it normal for some accidents that I don't know about to happen while exploring?"

Rosen was immediately speechless because what he said was right.

There are many chemists in the history of the earth who died on the spot because of directly smelling chemicals. The younger brother of Nobel, the dynamite king, died while still doing experiments.

Vivian is considered one of the first chemists in the world. If she didn't have the spirit of not being afraid of death, she might not be able to achieve her current achievements.

After a long while, he whispered: "You know this, I know it, but you must never let the third person know it! Otherwise, you will have to be punished by God!"

Although Vivian's actions indirectly killed many people, he was not a moral gentleman and was too lazy to meddle in other people's business.

After a pause, he said: "Let this matter go away completely, I will keep it secret for you. But you must also watch your own mouth, don't think about showing off everywhere!"

Hearing what Rosen said, Vivian breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately raised her hand and pinched her lips hard.

"I promise I won't tell."

Rosen believed her because judging from her performance, she was not truly unafraid, but was still very afraid of the third golden rule.

Only then did he ask about Feilun: "What are the side effects of the Archmage's potion?"

Vivian smiled softly: "According to my estimation, there are three possible side effects."

"The first is effective, but feminine. The second is effective, but beastly. The third is ineffective, and he died suddenly on the spot."

Rosen was startled: "Can the side effects be identified by their appearance?"

"Yes, the reduction of hair is the first one. The increase of hair, such as thickening of beard and hair, is the second one. You will know if you find time to observe Faerun."

Rosen asked again: "Faylan is not dead, so it seems to be the first and second side effects. To what extent will it be?"

Vivian thought for a moment: "I don't know about this, but it shouldn't be serious, right?"

After thinking for a while, he said: "After I reduced the potency, I tried it on hunting dogs, chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits. The most serious ones became very thorough."

"The mildest one is just a slight change. But there is a general rule that the older you get, the greater the change."

Rosen understood, stopped paying attention to Faerun, and was about to ask about the clay potion.

Vivian suddenly added another sentence.

"Ah~ there is another side effect, that is, the life span will be greatly shortened, maybe five or six years, maybe one or two years, or even less than half a year."

Rosen was speechless: "Then you are equivalent to killing him."

"Actually, there is no such side effect, but he is your opponent, so I added an extra dose of rejuvenation essence."

"This essence can greatly stimulate the body and make you energetic for a short period of time, just like returning to your youth, and then it will burn out like a fiercely burning candle."

What else could Rosen say: "Thank you very much."

Vivian waved her hands repeatedly.

"Who makes you the father of the child? And I don't want my child to be without a father since he was a child, so I must help you."

After a pause, he added: "I know why you are here, you want to find low-cost clay potions, right?"

Rosen nodded: "Yes, the lower the cost, the better."

Vivian thought for a moment: "This is difficult, but you can open a workshop and make a large number of potions to spread the cost. Of course, the initial investment is expensive."

Without waiting for Rosen to answer, she pointed at the ceiling with a smile.

"If you can make me happy in the next hour, I will ask my brother to pay to open a clay potion workshop and supply you with the lowest possible price."

Rosen suddenly felt like he was being beaten with money by a rich woman.

But he really needed this potion, and he was not an innocent boy, so he nodded: "I will try my best."

An hour later, Rosen left the villa slightly tired. As for Vivian, she had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.

When the Silver Moon Rangers arrived, Rosen noticed that they all looked a little strange.

After thinking about it for a moment, I knew the reason. Vivian's mana had just exploded, and the sound penetrated the home protection spell.

With a slight cough, Rosen explained with some embarrassment: "Believe me, I did this to better build Crescent Town."

A ranger said: "Sir, you don't need to explain. We have all heard about Vivian's deeds. She is indeed a very difficult woman."

Another ranger said: "Yes, we all understand your difficulties."

The third ranger looked shocked: "Sir, your ability is really admirable!"

Rosen felt warm in his heart and sighed: "Let's go back to Philander Village!"
