Extraordinary Mechanical City

Chapter 14 The Poison of Fear

No one would have guessed that Baron Morin's treasures were all in his hands.

Ren knew that Quinn couldn't find anything, and the man behind the scenes would definitely not let it go.

Quinn would come to him again to ask about the situation, which was to be expected.

However, this also means that the crisis is getting closer.

The man who bought the murderer behind the scenes didn't give up looking for the treasure, and if he couldn't get it again, he would definitely think of other ways. The threat posed by a person with great energy is not comparable to that of a Pixis.

So, Ryan is very clear.

He must get the antidote as soon as possible and leave the Weasel Phantom Thieves!

Forcing Pixis to reveal the formula is only the first step, the key is to get the finished antidote.

Quinn, the leader's divine assist, allowed things to develop according to Rennes' script.

Not long after the inquiry, the leader sent a lot of 【Skull powder of thousand-year-old mummies】. This is the finished material obtained from a certain robbery. You don't need to grind and purify the mummified skull yourself, and you can use it when you get it.

The materials were delivered, and Pixis had no more excuses.

The old man was still immersed in the joy of getting the golden formula. Although he was unhappy about being tricked, he had to prepare an antidote.

As for the whole refining process, Renn obediently watched the whole process from the sidelines.

Pixis didn't deliberately avoid anything. After all, although the detoxification configuration of [Zombie Potion] is much simpler than that of genetic potion, it is not something that ordinary potion apprentices can refine.

Just take a look, what tricks can you see?

The technique, time of melting the medicine, and temperature control. These details are the real difficulties.

This is also the biggest difference between a formal potion master and an apprentice.

Without a year or so of practical training, pharmacy apprentices can't even remember the medicinal properties of the ingredients, let alone how to actually prepare the finished medicine?

Back then, his Pixis talent was not bad, and he learned the basics at the Royal Academy for more than a year before the teacher let him start contacting the configuration of finished medicines.

Sorting, purification, distillation, heating. All in one go.

Every step of dispensing the medicine is extremely smooth, this is the medicine level of an experienced two-star potion master!

The configuration of medicines must be 'steady while seeking details'. The purification and extraction of materials in the early stage determines the final efficacy of the medicine, and the reaction, fusion, and cooling in the later stage are the key to affecting the rate of medicine. If you don't reach a one-star magic pharmacist, think about it. The success rate of this potion is almost zero.

Pixis didn't shy away from Ren's staring eyes at all. Instead, he prepared the potion and explained a lot of technical terms.

These words also included a lot of advanced pharmacy knowledge, let alone potion apprentices, even a one-star potion master might not be able to fully understand it.

Naturally, this old guy didn't intend to teach Ryan's pharmacy. Apart from showing off his skills, he was more of a satire of his overreaching.

Hehe, after looking at the formula and the process of refining medicine, will you know how to learn pharmacy?

Just because you've only been an apprentice for a few days?

Hum, naive, stupid!

The sarcasm at the corner of the old guy's mouth was as piercing as a needle, but Ren's expression was normal.

Oh teacher, what you said is too advanced, you are really a great potion master!

My God, teacher, your technique is too clever

.

While flattering with duplicity, he listened intently to Pixis' explanation.

He was naturally at a loss for these esoteric contents of pharmacy. He had read all the professional words in the old man's mouth, but when they were connected together, he couldn't understand what they meant.

In other words, if you know Arabic numerals, you can solve advanced equations?

Potions is one of the most complicated sciences in the world.

Although he can't understand it, he can recite it!

At this moment, the intelligent brain has recorded all the entire dispensing process.

The order of feeding the materials, the heating temperature, the reaction time, the concentration. Even the angle at which Pixis shook the test tube, and the frequency. All the details were recorded one by one.

Watching the recipe before was just Ryan's first insurance.

He was afraid that Pixis would do something wrong with the antidote, so he was finally relieved to see him dispensing the medicine on the spot.

At least in his opinion, the old man was following the procedure in the formula, without any tricks.

Is it finally time to get the antidote?

Ren had some expectations. Only when he got the antidote could he really plan his next escape with peace of mind.

The antidote for [Zombie Potion] is not too complicated, especially for an experienced two-star potion master.

About half an hour later, Pixis prepared the purple potion.

This is the antidote. After you take it, the toxins in your body will be completely removed. From now on, follow me and study pharmacy.

is teacher.

.

The two haven't completely torn their faces apart, and the play has to continue.

Ren didn't think much, took the potion and gulped it down.

But after a while, his mood of anticipation immediately cooled down.

Because the state projected on the retina by the intelligent brain shows that the toxins in his body have not been completely removed, but only prolonged the outbreak time!

[Warning: Unknown toxin erosion, it is expected to be fatal in 1094 days, 23 hours and 44 minutes. 】

What's going on, didn't you say that you can get rid of the toxin? Why? There is also a reminder of the toxin!

Ren looked at the countdown displayed on the system, and his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that the old guy Pixis has tampered with the antidote?

No. The whole dispensing process is based on the recipe. When did he do something wrong?

What's more, this old guy has no motive.

The previous poison was once a month, but now it has been three years. What's the point?

If you engage in such a small trick, you are not afraid to turn your face and tell the secret to the leader Quinn after you find out, and you will be beaten like a chicken?

This kind of stupid trick definitely doesn't look like this old insidious trick.

Could it be that there is something else hidden?

This sudden change disrupted Ryan's plan.

The antidote that I have carefully obtained is actually a probation drug to delay the onset of toxicity? !

Pixis looked at Ren's expression slightly different, and asked in confusion, What's wrong?

Ren restrained his expression, and tentatively pretended not to know: Teacher, this is really the antidote for [Zombie Potion]? Why do I feel that there is no special change after taking it?

If he didn't have a smart brain, he really wouldn't be able to find out that there was something wrong with the antidote.

Hehe. What else do you want to change?

Pixie raised an eyebrow.

Being suspected also made him a little dissatisfied, and said: You have awakened the extraordinary now, you should feel the cold energy in your body disappear? That is the sign that the poison has been lifted.

He thought it was because of Ren's habit of being suspicious and afraid of causing trouble, and he explained one more sentence: If you don't believe me, you can ask other old people in the group, they are all taking the same antidote.

Teacher, you misunderstood, I have no other meaning. I just feel that the surprise came too suddenly

Ren looked at Pixis as if he was lying, as if he really didn't know that the antidote was only temporarily controlling the toxicity.

Although it is not ruled out that this old guy deliberately cheated, his acting skills are superb

But after thinking about it, Ren felt that if the old guy wanted to control himself, he would definitely have a better way, and there was no need to play dirty tricks on the antidote.

But it is a fact that the toxicity has not been removed, so what is going on?

The onset period of poison is three years?

Huh. It seems that Pixis first came to Weasel Phantom Thieves three years ago?

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Ren's mind.

Then connect all the clues

Think carefully!

If everyone is taking this kind of antidote, it means that the [Zombie Potion] in the body of the absolute majority of the entire Weasel Phantom Thieves has not been released, but has been temporarily frozen, including those old members!

Now that the three-year period is about to expire, the first batch of people who took the antidote will die suddenly one after another, and things will definitely not be hidden.

Faintly, Ren felt that this matter was not that simple, and there was an air of conspiracy everywhere.

But what exactly does Pixis want to do? !
