"Cryogenic temperatures below freezing allow for better preservation of liquids."
While shaking the test tube, the priest talked to Xia De. Then he showed Shad his "refrigerated box" in the basement of this piece. It was a metal box wrapped with quilts, straw, and canvas. There were ice cubes inside the box, and large holes were pulled out of the ice cubes to store medicines or herbs that must be stored at low temperature.
Priest Augustus just opened it for Shad to take a look at, and the priest immediately covered it before the cold air gushed out:
"Tobesk summer ice is very expensive, I'm from..."
The old priest blushed uncommonly:
"Caught some from the attrition of the church. So St. Byrence's chemistry school is very expensive in gold pounds, and you can't learn these things without money."
But Xia De didn't have to worry about potion storage. His house was huge and he had a lot of free space. After learning about these things from the priest, he planned to transform part of the basement into an ice room. Although he can't make ice, he can make snow, and he can control the size of the snow.
Just be careful not to be intruded into the ice room by a curious cat. Although it is timid outside, it is very curious about the things at home.
In addition to the extract, Shad also handed over a few pieces of ore and some labeled liquid that he brought back from Coldwater Harbor to Priest Augustus for identification (Note).
It's a pity that most of those things are worthless, and the warehouse dispatcher doesn't have the means to identify the ring warlock's materials. The most valuable is a fist-sized silver ore, worth about 12 pounds.
Shade sold all the items to the priest for only 11 pounds, which can be regarded as thanks to the priest for helping to make the extract diluent for free.
He will definitely come to trouble the priest in the future, so the account must be settled clearly, but it is not necessary to calculate too clearly.
After saying goodbye to the priest, it was only ten o'clock in the morning. Estimating that the reply to the urgent letter should not come back, he stopped by Old John's **** shop.
There were actually customers in the store when I entered the door, but luckily they were just ordinary people. Xia De pretended to be curious and wandered around in the store, carefully observing the pawned goods on the shelves that looked like garbage, but seemed to have some value.
Almost everything is accepted here, if Xia De is not ready to buy some new furniture to fill up the empty room, he can buy second-hand goods from here at a very low price and bring them home.
Wait until the customer has left before going to the counter.
"The relic you asked me to help you find will take a while. It's not easy to find that kind of request."
This is the first sentence of old John.
"It's okay, and the price can be increased. Now that I have money in hand, I can increase the purchase price to 200 pounds."
Xia De said, Old John nodded to show that he remembered it, and was busy keeping accounts. He just bought a pipe from a down-and-out middle-aged man for 3 pounds. It is said that it is some kind of antique:
"I saw you from the newspaper. The 200 pounds is the reward from Ridwich Field? When did they become so generous? I thought they would give you 100 pounds at most. Oh, and, the royal family gave you a private reward." What is gratitude?"
He raised his head and smiled at Xia De:
"If you don't mind, how about showing it to me for a long time? I can help you estimate the value."
"The queen gave me a ruby ring, take it next time. This time, there are two things."
Xia De stretched out two fingers:
"First, I want an ordinary item. Is there a door that can be used as a hanging ornament? It is made of metal and should be smaller. The door itself must have a lock hole and can be pushed open."
"what are you up to......"
Old John was taken aback, then put down the pen in his hand, and looked at Xia De in surprise:
"Last time you bought a time key... Oh, your idea is really interesting, interesting, wait, I'll find it for you."
Of course, Xia De was looking for this pendant for the [Time Key]. The next key will be available in the early morning of Thursday, and the time for the operation with the two ladies is Thursday night.
It's certainly nice to get into the second trip early to gain power before the fight. But it seems like a good idea to keep the key, to step into the past in a pinch, to give yourself some breathing room, and even be able to gain power from the past in a targeted way.
Shade had been thinking about this while swimming under the sea yesterday, and finally decided to save the opportunity to use the key until Thursday night. If you really encounter troubles that cannot be solved, there is at least one chance to fight your luck. But when you enter in advance, you don't know what you are going to prepare.
But if you want to use the [Time Key] in battle, a new problem arises, that is, you don't necessarily have a door by your side when fighting with silver pupils.
[Time Key] The judgment of the door is very loose. As long as the door has a lock hole, it can be pushed open. There is no limit to the style and size of the door. The key can automatically match the lock hole. That's why Xia De thought of getting a door-shaped pendant.
But the book doesn't mention whether this kind of door is possible, so we still have to experiment.
Old John was also very interested in Shad's whimsy, and soon found what he wanted from the sundries he had recovered.
The pendant is made of pure metal, and the pendant itself is a door. The skilled manufacturer used bearings and nuts to enable the small door to be pushed open, and the door frame and door body were bonded together with magnets, so there was no need to worry about the door being opened due to shaking.
The keyhole is only the size of a pinhole. Looking at the light, it can be seen that the keyhole directly runs through both sides of the door, which is a transparent structure.
"Come and try."
urged old John, who liked the fresh idea.
But with a light poke, the key actually "entered" the keyhole the size of a pinhole. The part that did not enter still maintained its normal size.
Shad continued to push the key in until only the handle was exposed.
Old John raised his eyebrows and smiled, while Xia De whispered:
"May the father of the infinite tree bless me in time."
After the chanting, he turned it gently, but he couldn't turn it because the time was not up, but this in itself meant that Xia De's attempt was successful.
"Interesting, really interesting, I never thought of it before, [Time Key] can still be used like this."
Old John said with a smile on his face, and asked Xia De to try from the other side of the door, and the key could still be inserted.
This novel idea is actually not complicated, and people in the past have not thought of it, probably because those who have entered the past time have never thought of using the past journey as a rest point.
If Xia De is not forced to be helpless by the pressure of reality, he also wants to enter the past time in a stable environment.
"I want this pendant, how much?"
Xia De didn't even ask the other party to wrap the pendant, but hung it directly around his neck after confirming that there was no rust on the surface.
"No money, I'll give it to you for free."
Old John shook his head.
"Why are you so generous this time?"
Xia De doubted, this is not like the performance of the other party.
"First of all, who do you take me for?"
The old man raised his head slightly, not giving Xia De a chance to answer this question:
"The idea you just proposed is enough to pay the price."
"anything else?"
Xia De asked again.
The **** shop owner looked at him and smiled:
"Don't you have one more thing? So, what else to buy? I can give you a good price."
He twirled his fingers at Shad, which was just right for Papa John.
Xia De, standing in front of the counter, sighed:
"Well, this time you probably have a chance to kill me hard. I want to buy an offensive [relic] that can be used by low-level warlocks and has weak negative effects. I can take out three One hundred and fifty pounds in cash."
Except for the money set aside to deal with emergencies, he took out most of his savings. But since it is going to a decisive battle with the silver-eyed person, there is no reason to keep a large amount of money and let it go.
Although Xia De is stingy, he also knows that some money cannot be saved.
"What are you going to do?"
Old John asked in surprise. Older people have more experience and see things more directly:
"Based on what I know about your finances, even if you make a fortune, you shouldn't spend it like this...Are you going to find someone to marry?"
"Almost, so there is a lack of handy weapons. I know that the truly powerful relics can't be bought for 300 pounds. I still have a few Rhodes cards here, which can be temporarily mortgaged to you. The identification certificates are all there, so don't worry about it being a counterfeit."
As he spoke, he was about to draw a card, but was immediately stopped by Old John. The old man shook his head and said:
"Do you think that there are relics with small negative characteristics and strong positive characteristics everywhere? I can't take them out immediately if you want them. Even if I take them out, you definitely can't afford them. Why don't you tell me, what do you want? What are the people you deal with good at~www.mtlnovel.com~ I can find you some cheaper targeted relics."
After hesitating for a while, Old John persuaded again:
"Young people still need to know how to be patient, and don't always think about dueling with others. You only have one ring, and you shouldn't get involved in dangerous things at will."
"But this time I have to go. As for the opponent... sorry, I can't say more, but the opponent is seriously injured, I think it should be fine."
"Young people nowadays are really..."
The old man sighed, then walked out of the counter and left the antique shop through the back door.
Xia De waited for twenty minutes before Old John came back with a dusty wooden box. The box seemed to be quite old, Old John asked Shad to avoid it, he blew on the box, and the dust immediately floated out.
After the dust settled, he opened the box and pushed it to Xia De. Inside is a golden candle, to be precise, a stump of a candle. The thickness of the pen may have been very long at first, but now it is less than the length of a thumb.
