"Please help me pack these Deep Sleep Flower and Graveyard Grass powders. I want them all."
Pointing to the bottles of powdered herbs on the shelf, Angel said to the boy following her.
She came to Folk Herbal Medicine Shop of Fat Apothecary Darkwill early this morning, ready to buy the materials needed to make Communication Potion. Although Apothecary was unforgiving and a little bit aggressive when she opened her mouth, the quality of the things she sold was indeed good.
Unfortunately, his apprentice said that Darkwill went out before dawn. It was said that he went outside the city to catch some kind of creature that he had been eyeing for a long time. Angel guessed that the other party was still thinking of catching a Beyonder Creature to raise. He only hoped that Apothecary, who had no fighting ability, would not be killed by a wild wolf.
Angel's premonition soon came true. Just as she was about to leave after paying the money, Herbal Shop's door was pushed open from the outside. There were a few bloodstains on his face. Fat Apothecary walked in awkwardly with a limp. He sat on his recliner as if he had collapsed and called his apprentice to help him get some Healing Potion.
"You didn't really encounter something... that kind of creature, and you were caught with a mess on your face, right?"
She happily stepped forward to add insult to injury, letting Darkwill also experience the feeling of being attacked by a poisonous tongue.
"It doesn't matter, he also knows some things about occult science. In fact, cough, I will be able to tell him the formula of 'Apothecary' in a while," he glanced at the young man who walked into the inner room to get the medicine, Darkwill said softly, as if he was seriously injured, "It's a pity that you guessed wrong. I was scratched by a nasty owl. It also caused me to lose the big dog with shiny black hair. Hmm, I probably won't meet such a beautiful one in the future."
"You finally gave up on the idea of catching a Beyonder Creature directly. Are you going to raise an ordinary animal first and then feed it Potion?"
"Backlund Where is the Beyonder Creature? They are almost being killed to extinction!"
Apothecary said angrily, and then sighed.
"The hair of that Wild Dog is really beautiful..."
"If you want a good-looking pet, why not just buy one? I believe there must be a better-looking and more obedient one in Pet Shop. You can even choose a hound."
"That would be more expensive than Potion!" Fat Apothecary couldn't help but retort, "And I have to tame it myself like the real Beast Tamer, so that I can increase the success rate as much as possible when feeding Potion, instead of letting a hound worth hundreds of pounds drink Potion at will and get a ball of contaminated and useless material."
It seems that Apothecary's next Sequence, "Beast Tamer", can use Beyonder Ability to reduce the chance of animals tamed by him taking Potion out of control. No wonder he wants to find the suitable Beyonder Creature in order to make it his own fighting force...
Angel secretly noted these points and asked casually:
"Then which Potion are you going to feed the animal? Do you want it to be 'Apothecary'?"
"Of course it's impossible, then there will be three Apothecary in this store," Darkwill sneered, as if he heard a joke, "And my pet needs to be able to fight and help me deal with the gangsters who mess with me. I think 'Warrior' is good, and 'Hunter' is also okay, but I don't have the formula for either."
At the end of the sentence, he began to sigh again, missing the big black-haired dog that slipped away from his hands, and then the regret quickly turned into resentment. When Angel left with the herbal powder, with the help of his apprentice to wrap the wound, he had already started planning to buy some bird nets to catch the owl and cook it.
After collecting all the materials, Angel returned to his basement and used a smaller pot to cook a mixture of his own blood, Invisible Spider Silk, and several herbs rich in Spirituality. According to Lola, this pot of medicine had to be boiled for four hours to become a viscous liquid before the next step could be made.
While waiting, she inspected several pieces of Beyonder Characteristic she owned on the table nearby, especially the "Faceless" used by Angel yesterday. Due to the combination with some human tissue, this Beyonder Characteristic also takes on the shape of human skin when not in use, but the surface keeps changing, which is dizzying.
After testing, Angel discovered that this "human skin" can be transformed into various shapes when the user needs it, and without slowly adjusting each part, it can directly form corresponding parts based on the faces she has seen. This allowed her to combine the faces of several beautiful women she had seen to form yesterday's "Demoness of Pleasure".
She guessed that this Beyonder Ability is the core ability of "Faceless" Sequence, which can be heard from the name Potion. Unfortunately, it has not been made into Mystical Item. It only has this function, and it can only change the Face Changing shape and hair color, and has no effect on other parts of the body.
"This way there is no way to replace 'Madness Ring'... Although the ring can only be changed to Face Changing, it has an effect that is easy to forget, especially Passerby, which did not leave a deep impression on the first meeting."
Angel regretfully put down the human skin and picked up another piece of "Dawn Paladin" Beyonder Characteristic, which was also combined with part of Ms. D's body to form a special form that is half-property and half-item.
This item that looks like Bone Spur can be transformed into a Bone Sword with a length of nearly 1 meter 2 under the user's will. The appearance reminds Angel of the Holy Artifact "Goddess's Sword", but it does not have the effect of being unable to escape at a glance.
Holding this Bone Sword, Angel can feel his strength increasing rapidly, almost half as high as usual. This may be the effect of "Warrior" Pathway and Sequence.
Unfortunately, when using this Bone Sword, Angel will have a monstrous fighting spirit in his mind from time to time, wanting to chop up all the unpleasant objects in sight. This is only a negative effect when it is not in a combat state. If it is in a battle where people have no time to distract, this weapon may make the owner fall into a real violent state, and will not stop before destroying everything in front of him.
She would rather keep her sanity intact than this costly enhancement.
As for the "Shepherd" Beyonder Characteristic, which is directly derived from Ms. D, Angel has no chance to try it, because the abilities it comes with are all Authentic "Flesh Magic", such as Flesh Bomb, such as flesh and blood parasites, the only ones who can use them without any change may be Aurora Order's Lunatic.
"I'm afraid we can only show the true ability of 'Shepherd' after Mr. Hanged Man finds the Artisan he knows and makes this characteristic into Mystical Item..."
Angel sighed, putting all these Beyonder Characteristic away, looking forward to tomorrow's Tarot Club.
Four hours passed quickly, and the potion boiled in the pot had turned into a thick dark red color. It looked very similar to the Communication Potion that Angel got from Lola, which made her sure that there was nothing wrong with her production steps.
Putting the potion in the pot into a cup, Angel quickly built a simple altar, using candles to represent himself, and the cup of potion to represent the object of the ceremony. After establishing a connection between the two in Wall of Spirituality, he ignited the spiritual fire to burn out "himself".
In this way, the medicine made with her Spirituality-rich blood has nothing to do with her anymore.
Even if Communication Potion falls into the hands of the enemy, the other party will not be able to use any tracking or curses to deal with her. At most, they can only try to apply the potion on the mirror, try to shout from the air, and be furious.
Of course, some special beings may be able to use Spirit World to come to this side from the mirror over there, but when encountering such an enemy, no matter how I defend myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape Misfortune...
Watching the potion in the cup gradually cool down, many thoughts flashed through Angel's mind. In the past few days of transcribing "Secret Book", Angel's occult knowledge has improved by leaps and bounds, and he is no longer the novice he was before.
"Experts of divination and mysticism..."
Muttering, she put the potion into five small glass bottles, put two of them away, took the other three bottles with her, and left the basement.
These three bottles of potion are to be given to her companions, friends and subordinates who are connected with Backlund, but before that, Angel is ready to try the effect of the potion.
Opening one of the bottles, she used her fingers to draw out a wisp of dark red viscous liquid and smeared it on the full-length mirror in the bedroom, forming a closed oval on the edge of the mirror. She then used the same method to arrange it on the Magic Mirror she carried with her.
After pouring a small amount of Spirituality, the Magic Mirror in Angel's hand turned pitch black, and the surrounding dark red liquid seemed to melt and slid downward, creating several dark red blood stains. Then, she saw her side silhouette in the mirror.
Raising her head, she found that the full-length mirror beside her also had several blood stains on it. The picture inside was the ceiling of the bedroom where she was.
The two mirrors have communicated Spirit World and are connected to each other!
