When he saw clearly that it was Dick running out of the small room in the corner, his face as dark as a coal miner, Aode was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Dick and burst out laughing:
"Hey, I thought it was who it was, but it turned out to be you, the troublemaker!
"Did you accidentally blow up the bomb again? You must know the formula and material proportions of Magic Bombs. You must remember it like your own name!"
"I know, I know," Dick scratched his head sheepishly, "But there are still some issues that I don't quite understand."
"Then why didn't you come and ask me just now?" Aode asked with his hands on his hips, pretending to be angry.
"You just went to eat. According to your wishes, when the bomb was about to explode, I quickly used Protection Sign to cover the bomb.
"That's why the impact of the explosion became smaller, but everything inside was still blown to pieces. Fortunately, the explosion was not too strong and nothing serious happened."
"Forget it, forget it, just be fine.
"But you have to compensate for the loss of things in the laboratory. Those instruments are precious!"
Aode said, wiping the remaining saliva at the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, but his eyes were shining brightly as he stared at Dick's pocket.
"I understand." Dick readily took out a money bag from his pocket and handed it over, "There are two hundred Kelang in it, is that enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough!" Aode grabbed the money bag and narrowed his eyes into slits with a smile.
He couldn't wait to take out a silver Kelang from it, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and hugged the money bag tightly in his arms like a miser, "Well, it's the real thing!"
Dick looked at Aode's appearance and wondered in his heart, what does such an old man need so much money for?
As if aware of Dick's gaze, Aode's old face suddenly turned red, and he stammered and explained:
"The warlock profession is expensive. Despite my age, I have to ask the people below to buy all kinds of weird materials every month!"
"I understand."
"This explosion destroyed all my dreams. I haven't even had time to finish dancing with the beauty in my dreams!" Aode sighed with a frustrated look on his face,
"Come on, tell me your doubts when making Magic Bombs, and I will help you think about it."
"That's it..." Dick began to explain in detail, and finally concluded. "When I was making Magic Bombs, I always couldn't control the last process well."
"This is not easy!" Aode's eyes lit up and he gestured quickly with his hands in the air.
"Don't be so stupid that you have to input mana into it to synthesize Magic Bombs in the last step.
"You can separate this step and practice it next to it first.
"Just like practicing Swordsmanship, once you master each move, and then connect them together, then doing Magic Bombs will be like playing, relaxed and enjoyable!"
"But I can't control how to input the mana in my body. I'm a demon hunter and I only know a few Signs."
"Demon hunters don't have much magic power, and they can't be like brothers to the magical elements in the air like us warlocks.
"But the magic power in your body will keep coming out like spring water!"
Aode said, and stretched out his hand to draw a circle in the air, imitating the flow of mana.
"This method is very simple. Just close your eyes, calm down, and feel the flow of mana just like listening to your own heartbeat.
"Everyone feels the flow of mana differently. Some people feel that their whole body is warm, like soaking in a hot spring;
"Some people feel that their bodies are as transparent as if they have been washed by water. Just slowly experience it and try it a few times and you will find the trick."
"Okay, I'll try again now."
"No, no, no, don't try it today!" Aode quickly stretched out his hands to stop Dick,
"Look at what time it is, go back and rest quickly.
"Remember what I told you and come back tomorrow morning. Recharge your batteries for another big fight!"
"... Okay, then you should take a rest early."
"Let's go, let's go." Aode waved and lay back on the rocking chair, muttering, "I hope that sweet dream can come back later..."
Early the next morning, Dick came to the laboratory again, and greeted Aode as soon as he entered the door.
Then follow what Aode said, calm down and feel the magic power in your body.
He held a cup in his hand, closed his eyes tightly, and thought hard.
After a while, I felt as if a clear stream was slowly flowing through the magic veins in my body.
When he opened his eyes again, he found a faint blue light attached to his hand.
"Yes, yes, that's it!" Aode came over at some point and shouted excitedly,
"Control your magic power gently, like a docile little sheep, and drive it slowly to the glass of water."
Dick followed the instructions, and sure enough, he felt that the blue magic power in his body was like his own arm, obediently getting into the cup.
"Okay, hurry up and get your mana back. The demon hunter's mana is already low. If you use it for a while, your head will hurt as if it's going to explode."
Dick immediately followed the instructions, nodded gratefully to Aode, and walked into a new small room again.
Aode sat back on the rocking chair, rocking back and forth, his eyes half-closed, his thoughts already far away.
Suddenly, a muffled sound like thunder suddenly pulled him back from his carefree reverie.
The door of the small room slowly opened, and the disgraced Dick stood there, with a look of embarrassment almost overflowing from his face.
"My Kaer old baby, which song are you singing this for?" Aode stood up helplessly and spread his hands.
"When I was in a hurry just now, my mana was like a flood that opened up. I couldn't hold it back. I exported too much." Dick scratched his head and explained sheepishly.
"Okay, okay, you have to take it easy. If another cubicle is blown up, the Kelang in your pocket will bleed heavily!"
Time passed slowly, and Aode just wanted to find the comfort in the rocking chair again, but he was always worried that Dick would have another "unexpected surprise" there, which would ruin his dream.
He had no choice but to pace back and forth in the laboratory, muttering from time to time, "This kid, please don't cause any more trouble for me."
More than half an hour passed quickly, and Aode felt that all the bones in his body were about to fall apart. He couldn't hold on anymore, so he sat back on the rocking chair.
After a while, my eyelids started to fight, and I fell into sleep.
Suddenly, Aode woke up suddenly and looked towards the compartment where Dick was sitting like a reflex:
Hey, it's strange, it's quiet there, no movement at all.
Just as he was wondering, he looked up and saw Dick standing in front of him with an excited face, like a child presenting a treasure, holding a black ball in his hand.
At this time, a brand new skill appeared on the Dick panel:
[Alchemy]: Magic Bombs (novice level).
