Perfume Alchemist

The man in the cowboy hat didn't notice Xia Duo's spying at all.

He took Payne's bag, handed him another item, and got up to leave.

"Go, follow him!"

Ah Hao quickly pressed a big bill on the table.

Xia Duo didn't talk nonsense, grabbed Ahao's hand and walked to the men's room.

In a corner that no one noticed, the shadows churned again.

Ah Hao felt that he had gradually gotten used to this absolute darkness.

He waited patiently for a moment, and then saw the curtain of shadow pull open again.

On the secluded and deserted stairs, a man in a cowboy hat was staring blankly at Ah Hao who suddenly came out of the shadows.

The moment he saw Ah Hao's face, he immediately ran, heading for the passage on the left.

The formation that Ah Hao had prepared long ago spread out quickly, and clusters of stone pillars protruded from the wall and floor in front of him, blocking the way of the man in the cowboy hat.

"Hey, I just want to have a good chat with you."

The man in the cowboy hat ignored him at all, reached out and took out two bottles of potion from his pocket, threw one bottle at the stone pillar, and threw the other bottle at Ahao.

The potion bottle shattered on the stone pillar, and the stone pillar immediately began to desert.

Ah Hao didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, clapped his hands together, and let a stone wall rise in front of him.

There was a sound of glass shattering, and Ah Hao could vaguely see the scorching flames erupting behind the wall.

Ah Hao opened his hands, and the stone wall was immediately split from the middle and moved to the two sides.

The stone pillars have all been turned into sand, and the man in the cowboy hat has disappeared without a trace.

"interesting."

Ah Hao launched a circular formation, let the floor tiles under his feet support him, and rushed forward quickly.

However, when he drilled out of this passage, he found that there was no one on the outside.

At this moment, he was rushing out of a certain building, and outside was a barren weedy field.

And in the sky farther away, there is only a dense darkness that can't be melted away, lingering and shaking.

The sound of kicking footsteps came from behind.

Ah Hao turned his head immediately and saw Xia Duo gracefully supporting his black top hat:
"I've turned this area into my shadow domain. He can't escape."

"But he's gone." Ahao manipulated the formation formation under his feet, feeling the cycle of the stone pillar rising and falling.

It was the first time he used this formation in actual combat, and he was still not used to it.It was very convenient for him to walk straight while supported by the stone pillar, but it was a bit inflexible to turn left and right.

Xia Duo nodded: "He is invisible. I saw him disappear immediately after drinking a bottle of potion."

"Invisibility potion?"

Ah Hao immediately became interested.Using magical potions as a fighting method, the man in the cowboy hat is indeed his colleague!When he asked Payne to collect the information about forming an array, Ahao had already made some vague guesses.

It's a pity that invisibility can deceive the vision, but it cannot deceive the sense of smell!
Ah Hao calmed down and took a deep breath, letting the world of smells pour into his nose.

Leather, black coffee, a touch of tobacco.This is the smell of Xia Duo.

Bluestone, moss, earth, baking herbs, absinthe?

found it!
Ah Hao looked back, and about five meters to the left of the passage he rushed out of, the faint smell of medicinal herbs was emanating from the empty wall.

Ah Hao clapped his hands together, and immediately launched a formation.

Strips of stone bricks were drawn from the wall, like living creatures, entangled in that position.

"I surrender!"

Before he could make another move, a crisp voice came from beside the wall.

Under the shackles of the stone bricks, a transparent figure is slowly emerging.

The figure gradually became clear, a young man about 30 years old was looking at Ahao resignedly.

He has rimless eyes and a well-trimmed beard.

Ah Hao raised his eyebrows: "Are you quite knowledgeable about current affairs? Who are you and why are you investigating me?"

"Don't say you don't know me, but you ran away as soon as you saw me."

The man in the cowboy hat twisted his body and found that his hands and feet were all trapped and he couldn't move at all.He could only say helplessly: "My name is Luke, and I am a potion alchemist."

"I have no malicious intentions. I just accidentally found traces of alchemy in the perfume you made, so I entrusted that clerk to investigate."

Xia Duo came over and whispered to Ahao: "I don't know this person. Either he joined the Stargate Attack Organization later, or he has nothing to do with them at all."

Then Xia Duo turned his head and asked Luke a question: "Are you an enlightened person?"

Luke nodded quickly: "I am. And you found me so quickly, it must be that young man named Payne who sold me out, right?
"Then you also know that not only did I not do anything to hurt anyone, but I also helped that young man become enlightened."

"That's true, if you think that bottle of deflagration potion is not an attack on me."

Ahao continued to stare at him: "So you still didn't say, why are you investigating me?"

"This, that..." Luke hesitated for a long time before he spoke, "Let me just say it, it's because of your alchemy skills!"

"The day your store was burglarized, I happened to be next to you. I saw you use an alchemy technique that I couldn't understand at all to make the house automatically deform. It's just like the technique you use on me now."

"This alchemy skill is really fascinating."

"To be honest, I want to secretly learn your alchemy skills."

"Hey, you are quite straightforward." Ahao was slightly shocked by his straightforwardness.

Luke said with a smile: "Isn't this afraid that you will have a bigger misunderstanding?"

Xia Duo turned his back and faced Ah Hao: "Now that the truth has come out, what are you going to do with him? Just kill him, or"

Just as Ah Hao was about to speak out, Xia Duo put his index finger between his lips.

Ah Hao could see the playful light in his light brown eyes.

He spoke in a low voice, which Luke could just hear clearly.

Hearing the word "kill", Luke immediately shouted: "I am also an alchemist! I have mastered many kinds of valuable potion formulas!"

"Mr. Ahao, I can tell you all these formulas. But don't kill me, I am more useful alive than dead!"

"Oh? What recipes are there?"

Xia Duo simply cheated, and Luke was immediately frightened.

He muttered like beans in a bamboo tube: "It's like I can give you the formulas of fossil potion, deflagration glue potion and invisibility potion I used just now!"

"Besides, I can teach you all my alchemy knowledge. In this arcane era, this alchemy knowledge is quite precious."

Ah Hao was already moved.But he still pretended to be calm and said: "Yes. What about these medicine formulas?"

"Ugh." Luke laughed dryly: "I have to ensure my life is guaranteed before I can give you these formulas."

"Also, it would be even better if you could exchange your alchemy knowledge with me."

His voice became softer and softer, as if he had no confidence.
