Chapter 628 94. When a potion needs the power of the phoenix and the elixir of death as ingredients, you should know that there is a big problem
"There is a huge security risk inside the Stars Fort. From now on, the three mentors will be on duty here in person. This folded space is forbidden to enter or leave until the hidden danger is eliminated!"
Outside the gates of Fort of Stars, Lord Hunter, who was expressionless and wearing a star mask, announced to all the members of the Stars Club in front of him:
"During this time, everyone will return to their own base worlds, and the various affairs of the Stars Club will also be suspended. If there is an emergency, we will notify you later.
The fourth shock has come to an end, and there will be a wave of chaos in the coming time. I hope everyone can protect themselves and come to the world of New Osborne Tower to avoid the limelight if necessary.
But you must abide by the rules of this world and accept the monitoring and placement of local officials.
That's it, let's go. "
Ciri waved her hand, apparently not intending to explain more about the "security issue" of Fort Stars.
Many smart ghosts in the crowd have read a disturbing meaning from Lord Hunter's speech, but right now they can't rush into the castle under the eyes of the Grand Master to find out, right?
This is no longer a death, but a death.
In a slightly weird atmosphere, the crowd quickly dispersed, but everyone in the K team stayed here. As Mason's partners, they have the right to know.
But Mason didn't let them see the candles burning.
He was worried that some of his companions would make the same impulsive actions as Ciri just now, especially Harley and Quinn, these two crazy girls would do anything to protect Little Sweetheart.
"It's going to be a mess, Mason."
Jack Kang didn’t have the sleazy vibes of his usual hippie smile. On the contrary, he pulled Mason aside with a serious expression, and while sharing his beloved Sika cigarettes, he reminded:
"I don't think it's possible to hide this news. This is just the old devil's first resort. Even if we keep our mouths tight, we can't stand Mephisto personally promoting the existence of Shadow Castle.
Once other people know about the candle, once the members know that their own lives are in the hands of others, it is really unpredictable what irrational things they will do.
This old Mo is indeed a top-level devil, he is really good at manipulating people's hearts!
I thought that the stars would already be under our control, but he threw a king bomb and made all the pioneers unstable.
I have to be thankful that Lao Mo didn't set foot in the place where I was born, otherwise I really couldn't play him. "
"So no more delays."
Mason stretched his fingers, turned around and looked at the towering Fortress of Stars, he said:
"Mephisto's problem must be resolved immediately! You don't need to do anything else during this time, go and walk among the pioneers, and let us know immediately if something bad happens undercover.
The teams directly under the hunter swordsman and the wizard are credible. If the rogues do not join the stars, they will naturally have no candles. They are also a force that can be relied on at critical moments. "
"ask me to tell"
Jackson narrowed his eyes, flashing fiercely in the rising smoke, he gritted his teeth and said:
"It's better not to do one thing, but to give those candles. I know you can't do it, I'll do it! Give me a few minutes."
"Don't make trouble."
Mason put his hand on Zha Kang's shoulder, he stared at the flamboyant mage in his team, and said:
"You are a bastard, but you have a conscience, so you can't do anything if you mess with me, and I won't just watch my friend become a murderer.
Things haven't reached that point yet. "
"Hmph, it's easy for you to say."
Jackson flicked the tie on his white shirt unhappily. He glanced at Harley and Quinn who were walking the dog next to him, and whispered:
"You know, what you should worry about the most is not that everyone around you has the consciousness to do evil things on your behalf, they still have enough reasons to do so.
This is to protect you, not just Harley, Selena, Barbara, Ertuan and even Charles and Damian. You have to prevent everyone from doing this for you in the name of protection.
Mephisto has recognized this, and the overly friendly relationship between us has become your weakness. "
"That's just my weakness in his eyes! He can't understand this kind of feeling at all."
Mason said in a deep voice:
"I won't use this opportunistic but harmful method. You can watch it here. I'll go back to Osborne Tower first."
After finishing speaking, the captain glanced at Ciri who was talking to wizards and swordsmen in the distance, then walked quickly to Harry's side, and whispered a few words to his cutie.
Harry froze for a moment, then nodded happily, tiptoed and kissed Mason on the cheek, and then waved him away.
A few minutes later, the hunter planned to go back to his office to take a rest, but unexpectedly saw Harley, who was leading the dog, following her step by step.
This surprised Ciri, she turned around and asked:
"Why don't you stick to Mason, what are you doing with me? Are you going to feed me expired snacks again? Or are you finally planning to put my body in a body bag and throw it into the sun?"
"certainly not!"
Harry snorted chewing gum, flicked her red and blue twin ponytails, and said very proudly:
"Little sweetheart asked you to keep an eye on you, lest you lose your mind and do terrible things. He didn't dare to ask other people for this matter, so he could only let me, who he trusts the most."
"Well"
Hiri was embarrassed for a moment, and she asked quietly:
"But wouldn't you do the same for your sweetheart? Don't tell me you didn't plan to solve Mason's big problem permanently after you found out."
"I have! I actually have a voice in my head telling me to sneak in and blow out all the candles and help the sweetie win big."
Halley thumped her forehead, she said:
"But I know that will make little sweetheart angry, he will be angry with me, maybe he will divorce me, no! I don't want to! And when I stare at you, you have to stare at me.
In case I suddenly lose my mind and run away to do terrible things, we call mutual supervision. "
She raised her hand and shook the **** toy handcuffs on her wrists. When she was talking just now, she had already cuffed the wrists of the two of them.
Hiri rubbed the corners of her eyes helplessly, and said:
"Don't you feel embarrassed? Especially in our relationship."
"Afraid of what?"
Harry blew a big bubble and said:
"As long as I'm not embarrassed, then you must be the one who is embarrassed, and I've been coveting the big bathtub in your office for a long time. I heard that you still like to take flower petal baths?
Shall we go together?
Get to know each other, knowing yourself and the enemy can win every battle. Quinn! Quinn, do you want to come with me? "
—
Mason, who returned to Osborne Tower through the World Gate, wasted no time. He walked through the already deserted corridors of Osborne Tower, and returned to his office under the reverent gaze of the people around him.
Open the suitcase factory and jump into it, straight to the alchemy lab.
Alchemist Mason is still improving the "Millions of Stars" potion. When Mason came in, he just saw the horrifying scene of an assistant being swallowed by the golden liquid that exploded.
Fortunately, Mason's avatars are all water men, so the injury is not fatal, so after a few seconds of water reshaping, they started a new round of formula testing.
As for the alchemist himself, sitting on the edge of the laboratory filled with all kinds of weird bottles and jars and crooked distillation tubes, there are messy alchemy magic books from various worlds in his hand, and he is working on a table full of various paintings. Thinking hard in front of a board with ghostly symbols, as if encountering some kind of alchemy problem and looking for a solution.
Just the look of standing in front of the board thinking hard makes people awe-inspiring.
But when Mason approached, he heard this guy maintain a posture of a thinker, muttering to himself:
"This taste is wrong! No matter how you taste it, it is not right. There must be a problem in a certain link. Alas, why has it been impossible to make a potion with durian oregano flavor? (Ps1)
It's all the subject's fault!
Why didn't you work harder and assign Chef Mason? "
Mason said something faintly, which woke up the alchemist who was in deep thought.
The latter glanced back at Mason, curled his lips and said:
"I'm just relaxing my brain. The million-star project is killing me. I've made some breakthroughs, but the breakthroughs are not strong enough, and I haven't been able to reduce the influence of nothingness."
"Don't worry, I'm not here to inspect and guide the work."
Mason reached out and patted the alchemist on the shoulder. This guy's dark circles became more and more serious. At first glance, he looked like he was wearing a pair of sunglasses.
"You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do. If you come, there must be something. Tell me."
The alchemist rolled his eyes, opened his chair and sat down, then took a bottle of refreshing potion and poured it into his mouth, looked up at Mason, and said:
"What trouble do we need?"
Mason didn't answer.
He took a few things out of his pocket and placed them on the workbench in front of the alchemist.
The one on the far left is a pot of sealed flames. The small flames are suspended and burning in the transparent pot. No oxygen will not hinder its stability, and the scattered light plumes look really beautiful.
Phoenix fire.
It is still the purest kind of resurrection flame.
When he saw this thing, the alchemist had a headache, but it wasn't over yet. Mason put down the second item and put it in a jewelry box. There were three blood-colored irregular crystals placed in the luxurious black velvet.
At first glance, it looks exactly the same as the Philosopher's Stone, but the difference between the two is heaven and earth.
Alchemist Mason could tell at a glance that this thing was a genuine Sorcerer's Stone!
Although not as huge as the one that Hogwarts once hid, the three Philosopher's Stones are very beautiful in color, reflecting elegant arcs like the Flawless Silmaril.
But it's still not over.
Mason put down the third thing, a slender test tube filled with two-thirds of the amber liquid, and plugged the bottle with a cork, but just by its round color, you can tell that this thing is extraordinary.
Alchemist Mason took it in his hand and uncorked it, shaking his hand like a wine taster to smell the taste. After a second, he raised his head and said:
"The perfect recovery potion that old K used to use? Did you make it yourself?"
"Well, with the help of Fox's Nest's equipment."
Mason also pulled a chair and sat opposite the alchemist. He said:
"I'm collecting other materials for the elixir, and Xiao Zha is also collecting uncontaminated unicorn blood, which will be delivered soon, but these things are here, even if I don't tell you, you should be able to Guess what I want to ask you to do."
"Understood, the resurrection potion."
Alchemist Mason nodded. He put the perfect recovery potion on the potion rack at his hand, and then took the Phoenix Fire and shook it in front of his eyes. The flames in the pot formed a picture of a phoenix spreading its wings and flew around. It was really cute. .
He said:
"It seems that you have made up your mind to defeat Mephisto."
"Well, that's right."
The subject didn’t hide any more, and told the alchemist everything about the Fortress of Stars. The latter’s face also became serious. After the subject finished speaking, he stretched out three fingers and said:
"You have to prepare three resurrection potions. If you want to defeat Mephisto, you have to kill the three mentors first. Not to mention Ciri, you also have to prepare swordsmen and wizards.
I'll take care of the formula. I've been researching on this since you mentioned it before, and I've already got a clue. Now that I have so many fetishes in hand, it shouldn't be a big problem to recast life.
But you also have to understand that the real problem with the three mentors is not whether they can be resurrected.
Their connection with Mephisto is almost integrated, and the simple resurrection potion cannot handle this situation. I guess this may also involve more complicated existence.
I have to talk to the inscriber about this matter. His understanding of divinity is the strongest among us. Maybe the two of us can discuss a practical plan.
But you still have to prepare for the worst. "
The alchemist hesitated for a moment, but he still spoke out what was in his heart. He said:
"Mephisto knows what you want to do. From the incident in Fort of Stars, it can be seen that the devil has figured out your mind. He also knows that you will protect your friends no matter the cost.
I'm worried that you will be led by the nose by him.
And old A, those two guys may join forces, after all, they already have common interests in matters about you.
It is no exaggeration to say that after the fusion of the planes is completed, those diehards will unite and try to strangle you because of the miracle you have created. The conflict between you and them is only a matter of time. "
"I know."
Mason says:
"I'm not afraid of them, but I'm not reckless either. I will be prepared. In addition to your side, I will go to the engineer's side for a second protection.
But tonight you can give yourself a break. "
The subject looked at the time on the watch and said to the alchemist:
"I'm hosting a victory party at Osborne Tower tonight, and I know none of you like dealing with outsiders, so it's just us.
Have greeted the old green goblin.
8pm, don't miss it. "
"Um?"
The alchemist blinked and said:
"You, an unscrupulous capitalist, would be so kind? Today is the sun coming out from the west?"
"Occasionally I will be very conscientious, okay?"
Mason rolled his eyes, got up and said goodbye.
After walking out of the alchemy laboratory, he headed towards the engineering laboratory on the eighth floor of the Pocket Factory, but when he turned around the corner, he found that the jeweler was waiting for him with a bag.
Seeing the subject approaching, the jeweler put away his luxurious toy ball made of several kinds of gemstones, and handed the pocket in his hand to Mason.
He said:
"It's all done, completely according to your required parameters, durable and beautiful at the same time. But are you sure you want to do this?"
The jeweler hesitated and said:
"It's too late to stop now, Subject, this is a one-shot deal, you can't regret it if you do it."
"What? I squeezed out my feelings every day?"
The subject opened the bag and glanced at the contents, then nodded in satisfaction, and joked:
"If I were you, now is the time to make a good plan for the future."
"How else can I live?"
The jeweler pouted and said:
"I have to find materials by myself when I leave here, and I have to face the wind and rain outside and the sinister people. I don't want to give up on that. Anyway, there is always a house for me in this pocket factory, right?
You won't turn your face and drive us out? "
"That won't happen."
Mason waved his hands and said:
"But the rent still has to be collected. Okay, let's get ready. Don't be late at eight o'clock tonight. Also, don't tell other people about it. I want to give them a surprise."
Ps1:
Oregano, a medicinal herb. I don’t know why I’m explaining this specifically, but I feel it’s necessary.
