When Aldridge decided to come to the tavern, his intention was not to buy materials from Mills, but to tell the church about it and let them handle it.

On the one hand, he doesn't necessarily have the ability to deal with it, and on the other hand, he doesn't know how to face Al and tell him this sad fact.

But in the cold wind in the early morning, he gradually became sober and calm, and noticed that there was a big hidden danger in this practice - that is the problem of time.

He originally visited Al the night before, sent a mission to Sunderland that night, then Sunderland sent the letter last night, saw Sunderland's investigation results this morning, and then came to the Forest Bar.

This is where the problem lies!

If Sunderland knew that a man named Aldridge Alfred had announced this to the church this morning, it would be inevitable that he would not associate the identity of 'Teacher' with Aldridge.

He just wrote a letter to Mr. Tutor, and someone immediately reported similar news to the church?

what! Coincidence in the world doesn't work that way.

"Maybe he won't know that it was me who reported it to the church"... Aldridge didn't want to have such a fluke mentality. It was hard to say that there was no news about the disappearance of the girl.

"I have to handle this by myself."

Aldridge finally made up his mind before pushing open the door of the Forest Tavern, which made him instantly decide what to do next.

Promoted to rank 1!

He needs a stronger extraordinary ability for protection.

And he can't wait any longer for the Extraordinary Party on the 10th, Tom Hansen is still making teddy bears, and every extra day he waits may lose an extra child, which is why he proposed to Mills to buy ivy sap .

Moreover, even if he waited until the 10th, Aldridge would not dare to say that he would be able to buy evergreen vine sap at the party.

Although dealing with it yourself involves taking certain risks, it is not without its benefits:

If El Lind is really innocent, then he can try to eliminate El's role in it, and even hide the identity of his passive accomplice.

But if Al is really... really involved, I can't be against my conscience, Aldridge thought silently.

"15ml of evergreen vine juice, 100 kinnars," Mills said to Aldrich in a low voice as he came out of the back of the bar.

Aldridge asked, "When can I get it?"

"This afternoon."

"Can it be faster?" Aldridge would prefer to get it in the morning.

Mills nodded helplessly: "Alright, come and get it at noon."

Noon can also be done... I can use the morning time to prepare the rest of the materials first.

Thinking of this, Aldridge replied, "Okay."

After leaving the forest bar, Aldrich went to the Aalto Fighting Hall not far away to take a leave of absence with Andrea. In her dissatisfied eyes, she was supervised and ate a large and nutritious breakfast before coming out.

Then he went back to his residence on Middle Street, took enough kinnars to go out again, and didn't come back until after noon.

"Well... I prepared 200ml of distilled water, and only 10 grams of tel sodium powder... Fortunately, these things can be bought in the adventurer's store."

Distilled water is a necessary solvent for making potions. The pharmacists who make potions in some small adventurer stores will prepare them at any time, but adventurers will not buy them, so it is not sold to the public. Aldrich spent 5 silver nars. I only bought 200ml of water, a veritable sky-high price.

And tel sodium powder is an extremely flammable powdery substance. It is often used as a fire-making material among adventurers. Aldrich only spent 1 silver nar to buy 20 grams.

"15ml of evergreen vine juice, 30ml of Nugget's claws solution... Now all the ingredients are ready!"

The potion to be promoted to rank 1 was already in sight. Aldrich licked his lips, and with some excitement, he immediately closed the sackcloth curtain and closed the door, ready to start making potion.

In addition to the materials, he also bought some utensils, including a glass beaker, a measuring cup, a glass rod, an alcohol lamp and an iron stand with a mesh surface, which also cost a lot of money from the pharmacist. The price to buy, a full 2 ​​Jinnar.

Although the appearance is different from that on Earth, the function is similar.

Speaking of which, Aldrich didn't have much hope for the alcohol lamp. His idea was to replace it with a kerosene lamp or simply build an ultra-small fire, but he didn't expect that a high-purity alcohol purification method had been invented at this time. -Even before the invention of the steam engine, alcohol lamps were tinkered with by some alchemists in the early days of the steam age.

Compared with the somewhat unfamiliar shape of the alcohol lamp, the measuring cup is what Aldrich hesitates and doubts. At this time, the industrial capacity should not be enough to produce measuring cups with sufficient accuracy, right?

"It shouldn't matter... So many Beyonders in the world probably use measuring cups of this precision to make potions, and some errors are bound to exist in chemistry."

Aldridge could only comfort himself like this.

Seeing these things, I really feel like I went back to the university to take an inorganic chemistry experiment class.

Aldrich set up the iron stand, placed the washed and dried beaker on the mesh platform of the iron stand, and poured 100 ml of distilled water into it with a measuring cup.

Next, light the alcohol lamp and place it under the iron stand.

The pharmacist didn't sell me the asbestos net, the chemistry teacher, you can't blame me...

When the distilled water was about to boil, Aldrich added 10 grams of Terna powder to it, stirred it with a glass rod until it dissolved in the water, then added 10 ml of evergreen ivy juice, and 20 of Nugget's claws solution. ml and mix with a glass rod by stirring quickly.

To be honest, he didn't know if he was doing it right. After all, there was no preparation method in the recipe.

But when the potion formula appeared in his mind, the ingredients appeared in this order. He just added some basic chemical methods, so there should be no problem. Besides, the preparation of potion that Johnny once told him was the same as putting the ingredients in it.

Aldrich watched helplessly as the liquid in the beaker turned from transparent to gray, then green, and finally dark green with some gold. He always felt that it was more like a cup of poison.

When the glass rod stirred smoothly and naturally, Aldrich removed the alcohol lamp and the potion preparation was completed.

Aldrich looked at this strangely colored liquid, and a huge desire suddenly appeared in his body!

To drink! to drink! To drink it!

Aldrich couldn't help licking his lips~lightnovelpub.net~ clutching his heart beating violently, he suppressed his longing and muttered, "Is this the emotion of the black gold beast in your body?"

The Black Gold Beast coexists with him after being secretly contracted by him, but he is the main one. This is not because humans are stronger, but because at rank 0, the 'mysterious' will fall into a 'sleeping' state in the body.

But starting from rank 1, 'mysterious' will gradually wake up in the body, and can even be separated from the body again at rank 3, and this is also the reason why the promotion of Beyonders is in great danger.

'Mystery' is not so easy to tame.

Aldrich endured this craving for ten minutes, and after the liquid in the beaker cooled down a little, he drank the liquid without hesitation!

"I will be promoted!"

When he drank the liquid, his eyes were firm and his mood was high.

The potion entered the stomach along the esophagus, and was quickly absorbed by the body, but Aldrich felt the huge pain attacking from all over his body, and he couldn't help kneeling on the ground with the most painful neck.

It hurts countless times more than being pierced by a sword! Aldrich scolded inwardly with the floor above his head.

Can't make a sound!

Even though the pain was such a ghost, he still thought that there were Beyonders upstairs and across the street, so he couldn't make a sound.

Pain is like a tide, and like the reproduction of human beings, wave after wave, until it suddenly reaches a climax at the end, and then slowly declines.

Aldridge never felt that time was so long, but it was only 2 minutes.

When the pain was almost gone, Aldrich finally couldn't bear the weakness of his "spirit" and fell asleep on the floor.

The moment before he fell into a coma, he still thought:

"It should be successful..."
