Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 417 Soul Eater Night【Part [-]】

Inside the quiet temple, someone stretched out his hand and asked, "Master Luo Yi, why didn't you ask the Arcane Association for help when such a big thing happened?"

Ahao turned his head to look, and from the demeanor and clothes of the questioner, he roughly judged that he should be the Arcanist of Agadi.

Luo Qi curled her lips: "Right now, the star gate is only open once a day, the news has spread, and when the support staff arrives, at least it will be tomorrow."

"And Naga Kaporos said, never rely on others. When faced with such a life-and-death crisis, the only thing you can rely on is your own fist."

Luo Qi bulged with one arm, showing off her muscles: "If you want to spend the Soul Eater Night with the temple, you can go to the priest to register, that's it." After she finished speaking, she lifted the statue on the altar and relaxed. stepped off the stage.

The whispers off the field immediately turned into loud discussions.

Eliya tugged at Ahao's clothes: "Do you think what she said is true?"

"She shouldn't be telling lies." Ahao shared his thoughts about the black mist with Ilya.

"The swarm of snakes on the airship, the closed ocean port, and the signs along the way all indicate one thing—an accident is about to happen in Blue Flame Bay. But before seeing Luo Yi's 'performance' just now, I I can't figure out what the problem is."

"And you also saw the scene just now? I think it looks like a scene recorded by some kind of arcane method or supernatural power. Although I don't know much about the gods they believe in, they still seem to have some strength."

Illya nodded slowly: "So shall we register?"

"Register, more people are always safer. In a safe environment, it is easier to find the truth of the matter."

"Ah."

In the side temple connected to this place, the two showed their arcanist badges to the chief priest in front of them.

"[Flowers] Illya." "[Death] House."

After the sacrifice was recorded, he took out two thumbtacks and a map: "After you choose your favorite defense point, you can go to the side to get some consumables provided by the temple."

Ilya directly handed her thumbtack to Ahao.Ah Hao looked down at the map carefully.

This is a map of Blue Flame Bay. Blue Flame Bay generally presents an irregular circle.Most of the pushpins are densely inserted in the southern part of the map.

And the location of the center of these push pins is impressively the Baru Temple at their feet.

"It seems that everyone still trusts the fighting power of your temple."

Hearing Ahao's praise, the priest puffed out his chest proudly: "Mother Snake's strength is obvious to all in the Blue Flame Islands."

Ah Hao casually nailed two thumbtacks to the southeast corner. This place is adjacent to other supporters, and the terrain is considered high, so it doesn't look bad.

"Thank you for your help." The priest handed out two red knots, "This is the knot blessed by Naga Kaporos, please keep it in your own hands. In addition to identifying friends and foes, it can also Inspire a protective effect in the spiritual realm."

"With this knot, you can go to the nearby material point to receive some subsidies. It is not a precious thing, but it is also some extraordinary props that the temple has accumulated over the years."

"Baru Temple sincerely hopes that everyone can spend the Soul Eater Night safely."

After the priest guided the direction of the material point, he clenched his fist with one hand, placed it in front of his chest, and shook it strangely.He then checked in for the next person in line.Ah Hao pulled Ilya towards the supply point.

Ilya shook the bright knot tied on her hand: "It's a bit nice, I think this temple is pretty good."

Ah Hao gently sniffed the knot and smelled a hint of rust: "This should be soaked in blood. It's not human blood, but probably some kind of sea beast's blood. It's so red, it should have gone through special means." deal with."

"Okay, stop, I don't want to know how it does it." Ilya shook her hand helplessly, her interest in the knot was greatly reduced.

The two walked to the corner of the temple and lined up to receive the supplies.Materials can be chosen, but each person can only choose one.

Ilya picked out an exquisite lady's pistol: "It's small, so cute! I heard that some aristocratic ladies would carry this kind of gun in their bags for self-defense. I've always wanted to buy it, but I never found it. "

The administrator who distributed the supplies, after pressing a black spot on the knot in Illya's hand, said with a smile: "Its name is [lady's pistol]. Due to the limitation of its structure, it can only fire one bullet at a time." .But the power is surprisingly large, and it also has a damage bonus to spirit bodies."

Ah Hao picked from the assortment of tables for a while, and picked out a glass bottle.

The outside of the glass bottle is covered with a thick layer of dirt, which looks dirty.The liquid in the bottle is somewhat abnormal, the water form ether is enriched in it, and it is also extremely active.

He handed it to the material administrator: "What's in it?"

"Let me take a look." The administrator also seemed a little confused, he flipped through the booklet at hand, and said after a while:
"Oh, it comes from the spring water in Preci Gardens in Nia. It is said to have the effect of healing curses. I can't say more, after all, it has been in the warehouse for a long time."

When he heard the word Nia, Ahao had already made up his mind: "I want it."

"Okay." The material manager is not a talkative person, after marking a mark on the knot on Ahao's wrist, he carefully handed the glass bottle to Ahao.

Then he gave Ahao a crude map, on which the defensive points chosen by the two were marked with red circles.Then the two took their leave and left the side hall.

Walk back to the square.Yi Liya turned the small silver gun in her hand, and looked at the glass bottle carried by Ah Hao curiously: "What's the use of you choosing this?"

"I don't know very well either." Ahao opened the bottle cork that had been dusty for a long time.

With a crisp sound of "Bo", he saw the liquid in the bottle.Even though it has been stored for many years, the spring water in the bottle is still as clear as new, with a trace of moist and sweet water vapor coming out.

"At least it's an item from Nia, that's enough. Anyway, there's nothing good in the pile of junk he put out."

"Hee hee, it's free after all. Don't ask too much."

Ahao shook his head: "Free gift does not mean free. This is a task reward given to us in advance by the Baru Temple."

"From this point of view, today's Soul Eater Night is estimated to be very dangerous. The Baru Temple probably doesn't believe that we can go back alive to receive the award, so it gave out the award first."

Ilya shook hands nervously: "Really?"

"Haha, but don't worry, I'm here. If the situation is really bad, we will sneak away."

Ahao blinked at Ilya, and handed her a bottle of potion: "This is the [Powerful Invisibility Potion] I just prepared two days ago. After drinking it, your smell and appearance will be close to transparent .”

"Anyway, we're just here to help. It's best to keep Blue Flame Bay, and don't lose your life if you can't."

Ilya took the potion and carefully put it away: "Got it."

The two followed the flow of people in the square and walked to the side of the temple area closest to the coast.

On the protruding rocks, a few short piles are placed symbolically, and a few thick hemp ropes are wrapped between the short piles, which can be regarded as guardrails.

A group of people are gathering here, looking at the distant sea.The sound of heated discussions drifted into Ah Hao's ears with the wind.

"Can you see the black mist that Master Zhenzhe said?"

"It's still far away, probably a thousand nautical miles away from us. All I can see now is a small black spot, like a cloud."

"Forget it, I'd better go to the defense earlier, I feel that this thing is too fast."

Ah Hao looked around and compared the scene in front of him with the map he just got.At his feet is a three-way intersection, behind him is the temple area with murals, and on the right is the stone bridge they passed when they came.And the left side is the "defense point" he chose before.

"Let's go directly to the defense point, I want to make some preparations first." Ilya led Ahao and walked towards the plank road on the left.

This wooden plank road is built on the edge of the cliff near the coast, and it should have been a sightseeing plank road in the past.

The two walked along the plank road, and there were many fellow travelers along the way. They found their defense point early, spread their guns and ammunition on the ground, and made serious preparations.

Ah Hao found that the "defense point" he had chosen happened to be on a viewing stone platform at a corner.An octopus sea monster with four tentacles is painted on the stone platform. It is a portrait of Naga Kaporos, which is very recognizable.

Ilya walked directly onto this "viewing stone platform".It was approaching evening at this time, and the sea breeze blew her silver-white hair flying in all directions.She quietly looked at the raging sea of ​​blue flames in front of her, wondering what she was thinking.

Ah Hao stood beside her, lowered his head and glanced to the left.At the bottom of the cliff is a market near the sea in Blue Flame Bay.

The market is composed of shacks and dilapidated boats.These dilapidated ships are connected to each other by gangplanks, and there are some small stalls selling goods at the junction of the ship's sides.

The market was not far from his feet, and he could even see the things on the stalls.

Most of the street vendors sell wine, meat and various rare gold and wood.But at this time, these stall owners were packing up their things in a panic.Some people dressed as Baru priests are running between the ships.

They should be passing the news that "Soul Eater Night" is coming.It seems that the Baru Temple is indeed very popular in Blue Flame Bay. These vendors almost unconditionally believed what the priests said.

"Do you know what the flower language of dandelion is?"

Illya's voice made Ahao look away from the small town below:

"What is it, freedom?"

"That's right." Illya blinked and smiled, then opened her hands, as if she wanted to embrace the sea breeze blowing on her face.

Illya's body shone brightly, and some seeds covered with white hairs floated out of her body, blowing in all directions in the wind.

The seeds flew out densely, and Ah Hao had to cover his face with his hands.

When he came back to his senses, a large area around the two of them was covered with white hair seeds.

"This is a dandelion?"

"It's the fluff that grows from the seeds of the dandelion flower, to be precise. A dandelion flower is actually a small yellow flower."

"So you lay the fluff for."

Illya shook her hair and brushed off all the fuzz on it: "Let's plant some traps. Every fluff I release is actually a tiny trap that can stick to the enemy.

"In this way, I can not only understand the enemy's movements, but also make the flower seeds swell up at critical moments and interfere with their actions."

"I thought it would explode." Ahao said with some regret, "If someone steps on these fluffy seeds, it will explode immediately."

"I don't have this ability." Illya took out a bottle of energy recovery potion from her pocket angrily, "I'll take a rest first, and lay traps later."

Ah Hao thought for a while, and then took out the prepared supplies from his luggage.First of all, he took out all kinds of clay puppets that Sandy gave him. He took out all five kinds of clay puppets: bear, dragon, cow, snake and pig.

As for Sandy's clay puppet technology, he has almost studied it.He felt that clay puppet alchemy still had some limitations.

If Ah Hao had to do it himself, he would prefer to use materials such as metal or glass instead of sand to make animal puppets.

After the research is clear, the value of these clay puppets will be much lower.It is not a pity to use it directly.

Then he took out a special "dynamite bag".It stores all kinds of powerful crystals and bombs made by him and Blancpain.This thing is too powerful, Ahao has already equipped them with special space props.

Finally, there are all kinds of magical amulets he collected.

The magical talisman is his current research focus.Clay puppet alchemy and explosive alchemy are at the end of his research list.

Ah Hao took out the supernatural power slate of [earth thorns], and observed it one last time.

Then he clapped his hands, and a brand new Liancheng Formation rotated and unfolded behind him.The lines in this refining formation are the same height as the stone slabs.

This is what Ah Hao is researching - to display supernatural powers through forming formations.

This research has made some progress.Several supernatural powers of the earth element have been "transcribed" and presented again in the form of formations.

The remaining few magical powers still have to rely on amulets.

After Ah Hao put the clay puppets, talismans and explosive packs in easy-to-grab locations, the preparations are considered complete.

After filling a few bottles of medicine, Illya also placed some flowers of different colors around the two of them.

The sky was getting dark, and a thin line of mist gradually rose out of the water.The thick fog as black as ink swept from the sea level at an astonishingly fast speed.

The seagulls began to shriek, and there was a thick and dull drum sound from the Baru Temple not far away.

After the sound of the drums, bells rang one after another on the plank road along the edge of the cliff.

The voice started from the temple and passed through various defense points, seeming to remind everyone:
"The black mist is coming."
