Gilan suddenly thought of something.
Since there are members within " Midnight Rose " who believe in the " Director " of February Director, do they possess True Film Reel...?
"By the way, Mr. White Sage," he said into the phone, "Do you sell True Film Reel?"
" True Film Reel ..." the White Sage asked doubtfully. "You're planning to research 'secret history'? I advise you to stay away from this kind of thing, lest you get yourself into trouble."
"Why do you say that?" Gilan frowned slightly.
"It's called 'Secret History' because it's a secret, a history that's not meant to be known... Knowing too much about some things isn't a good thing."
The White Sage did not speak directly, but offered his advice in a tactful manner.
Unlike others, Gilan's purpose in watching True Film Reel was not to study any "secret history," but to obtain weapons, props, or knowledge that could enhance his own strength, as well as to accumulate Mystery Points by Corruption his enemies.
Only someone with his " Iridescence " appearance could accomplish this.
It is also a secret that cannot be revealed to anyone.
"Thanks for reminding me," Gilan said in a deep voice. "But I still need it."
"I see." The White Sage nodded, no longer trying to persuade him. " True Film Reel is available, but it's not cheap, and you'll have to wait a while."
"Approximately how much will it cost?"
Gilan asked.
The White Sage thought for a moment and replied:
"It just so happens that a current member is interested in selling a roll of True Film Reel, called < Old Peel #2>, asking for 800 Caesar... If you're interested, I can inquire about it for you."
Upon hearing this, Gilan was taken aback.
' Old Peel? Could it be a sequel to < Moon-Scorched Village #1>?'
Gilan became interested, and at the same time, she thought to herself, "This is really expensive."
"Well then, I'll trouble you, Mr. White Sage," Gilan said. "Also, could you please ask if there's a discount?"
"Okay, I'll ask for you."
The White Sage said.
"I'll let you know when I have more information."
"Thanks."
Click.
The call ended.
Gilan carefully put away the "hotline" and Mercury Battery.
He looked at the ground covered with mysterious materials and alchemical tools, let out a long sigh, and felt a sense of joy.
"Finally, I can start concocting the ' Wick Potion '!"
Gilan said with anticipation.
He checked his belongings again and found that he still had 1067 Caesar left after buying everything. He couldn't help but sigh, "Spending money is like water."
"These mysterious materials are really expensive; hopefully they'll be worth the price."
Gilan cleared the desk in the master bedroom and put all the clutter on the floor onto the desk, arranging it neatly.
Next, he took out the parchment containing the recipe for the " Wick Potion," reviewed it again to reinforce his memory, and then unfolded the parchment and pinned it to the wall.
After putting on the Snowy Owl Mask and leather gloves.
Only then did the potion-making process begin.
The " Wick Potion " is not particularly difficult to make, but it is still slightly more difficult than making " Green Gunpowder ".
Following the instructions on the parchment, he first poured out all the Cherry Coral and Black Jade Stone. He was very careful, holding his breath throughout the entire process.
" Cherry Coral " is only as thick as a little finger and looks like strands of pink coral, with its surface covered with tiny, dense, bluish-green bumps.
Gilan placed it in his palm and could clearly feel an invisible current flowing between his fingers. The mysterious magnetic field it emitted swept over his entire body, but it could not shake the Kingdom Brand.
These mysterious materials are all "dangerous items" that ordinary people should not even touch. If their magnetic fields are swept over them, they will either die or become ill or insane.
" Black Jade Stone " is a gem-like black crystalline substance that is broken into small, finger-sized pieces and stored in a flared bottle.
He placed the Cherry Coral and Black Jade Stone one by one into a grinder, and patiently crushed and ground them into powder using a silver-plated roller, a glass rod, and a copper rod. Then he poured the powder back into the bottle using a glass funnel, sealed the bottle, and stored it for later use.
Gilan picked up a tin kettle, got up, and went to the washroom to fill it with water. She then went to the kitchen and fetched some salt, rosemary, olives, and other spices.
Upon returning, I lit a large alcohol lamp with Matchstick, placed it at the bottom of a brass still, and then poured the water from the tin pot into it.
His gaze swept between the parchment and the still, and after a moment, he seized the opportunity, picked up the bloated bottle containing the "sulfur gas," uncorked it, and poured it into the cup containing distilled water.
hiss.
A bright yellow wisp of smoke, emitting a pungent odor, flowed into the cup like a liquid, merging with it and turning the clear distilled water a pale yellow.
The water gradually became viscous and turbid.
With his exceptional eyesight and dexterity, Gilan stopped pouring, releasing exactly one unit of "sulfur gas," no more, no less.
He put the stopper on the bottle, and without stirring, poured one unit of " Vortex Molt " into the cup.
" Vortex Molt " is a dark blue-black liquid, extremely viscous and deep.
Even when left still, it will rotate on its own, creating beautiful swirling ripples.
Upon its addition, the pale yellow, turbid distilled water instantly turned dark green, and began to bubble.
Glug, glug.
Like a glass of green apple sparkling water.
Gilan placed the mixture over an alcohol lamp to heat it, adding a spoonful of salt, a spoonful of rosemary powder, and two olives.
Ten minutes later.
The dark green liquid stopped bubbling and began to turn whitish.
Seeing this, Gilan knew that the final step had been reached, so he poured in the ground " Cherry Coral " and " Black Jade Stone ", also in units of 1 ink.
He finally picked up the glass rod and stirred the contents of the glass.
confused.
gurgling.
As it was stirred, as if by miracle, the strange substance transformed into a clear, translucent amber liquid at an extremely fast speed, emitting a rich, sweet aroma reminiscent of toffee.
Gilan reached out and picked up the cup.
The entry for " Iridescence " then appeared by swaying up from above:
" Wick Potion (5 portions). A unique potion created by an alchemist, made from a mixture of several mysterious ingredients. After consumption, it can effectively enhance the efficiency of spiritual absorption of cosmic elements."
"It's done!"
Gilan was greatly encouraged.
He immediately poured the potion from the cup into five finger-sized vials, then sealed them with small oak stoppers.
Once all this was over, Gilan removed her mask.
He picked up the five tubes of " Wick Potion," his expression excited as he looked at the crystal-clear amber liquid inside.
This was his first time trying to concoct a magic potion, and he succeeded on his first try.
The sense of accomplishment I felt was indescribable.
Gilan resisted the urge to immediately take the potion, instead taking a short rest to calm herself before starting a new round of concoction.
"Let's try to refine all the materials into a potion in one go!"
Concocting magical potions requires complete concentration and dedicated effort.
Time flew by so quickly that we were completely unaware of it.
As dusk settled outside the window and the sky darkened, Gilan finally snapped out of her daze.
He glanced at the wall clock; it was already 3:30 in the afternoon.
"Phew." He wiped the sweat from his brow and let out a long sigh. "But at least it's finally finished."
Gilan's tired face was full of smiles.
On the table in front of me, 20 " Wick Potion " are neatly arranged!
