"Hey you two, could you do me a favor?"
When Logo said those words with a friendly expression, the two Dark Elf instinctively took a step back, their movements perfectly synchronized, a hint of fear flashing involuntarily in their beautiful eyes.
Especially when he saw the bottle of black potion in Logo's hand, his ominous premonition grew even stronger.
"What? What's with this reaction? You can say you don't want to, I won't force you." Logo raised an eyebrow and said calmly, his expression utterly composed.
But it was precisely these calm words that seemed to envelop Yarwei and Windsor in a chill, causing them to shiver in unison. After exchanging a glance, they both managed a forced smile on their pretty faces.
"Not at all, Your Excellency, please give us your orders. We two will serve you to the death." Yarwei bowed slightly, Windsor followed closely behind, quickly expressing her loyalty.
Just kidding. Logo's tone seemed like he was trying to negotiate, but if the two of them really refused, it was uncertain whether they would ever see the sun again.
Didn't you see the gazes of Gain, Melier, and Caesar converge on you the moment Logo finished speaking?
Now, the Dark Elf Clan is basically under Logo's control, so even without these two high-ranking members, it won't have much of an impact.
As Logo's side continues to increase its high-end combat power, their combat value has been greatly reduced.
Loyalty is one of the few valuable assets one can offer; if even that is lacking, the consequences are predictable.
The two Dark Elf ' words brought a gentle smile to Logo's lips. "I knew you two wouldn't disappoint me."
After saying this, Logo raised the Black Blood Potion in his hand, took out an empty crystal bottle, broke the two in half, and handed them to Yarwei and Windsor.
"This is a potion I just concocted. It's a great tonic for dark-type Transcendent. Since you two are so loyal to me, you naturally deserve such a reward. Please drink this potion together."
Just as I suspected.
Yarwei and Windsor felt a bitter taste in their mouths.
What kind of blessing is this? Do you think we're blind and didn't see how this potion came about?
They're clearly treating us like Xiaobai, yet they call it a reward—how shameless!
But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Although the two Dark Elf were inwardly furious, they still maintained a grateful expression on their faces. Although they were overacting, life is like a play, and having the right attitude is enough.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency." The two women took the Black Blood Potion, gritted their teeth, and swallowed it all.
Glug!
With a gurgling sound in his throat, the medicine traveled down his throat into his abdominal cavity, eventually settling in his tailbone and rapidly transforming into an extremely vast and pure dark energy that filled his entire body.
"Um?"
Amidst a profound sense of sorrow, Yarwei and Windsor widened their eyes and momentarily lost their composure upon sensing the overwhelming dark energy within their bodies.
This medicine...
It seems fine.
Not only is there no problem, the medicine seems to be surprisingly effective.
Sensing the rapid increase in their life rank, the two women quickly snapped out of their daze, sat down on the ground, and focused intently on absorbing the continuous stream of dark energy.
"Huh? Boss, the potion you gave them is so effective?" Crassus asked, looking shocked.
"I didn't expect the effects of this Black Blood Potion to be so surprising. It seems the owner of this Dark Flesh has an even more astonishing background than I imagined." Logo's gaze was profound. Just a little bit of overflowing dark power, after being mixed into a potion, was able to propel the ranks of two High-Rank Transcendent Lifeform to a rocket-like rise.
If you ate that whole piece of flesh, wouldn't you just take off on the spot?
Of course, whether I would still be myself at that time is hard to say.
"Boss, do you think I can take the Black Blood Potion?" Crassus asked shamelessly.
Unexpectedly, Logo refused him outright, "No, this Black Blood Potion is only effective against Dark-type Transcendent. For other types of life forms, it's practically poison. Even for Dark-type Transcendent, there are still many unknowns before the experimental results are fully available. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had Caesar complete his evolution first, as an extra layer of insurance."
"Huh? Does that mean only Tiffany and Sherlock can take the Black Blood Potion?" Crassus's face was contorted with grief, the word "heartache" practically written on her forehead.
Glancing at the fat cat, Logo said irritably, "The Black Blood Potion was originally developed by me for Tiffany and her brother. Yarwei and Windsor were just experimental subjects, used to determine the specific properties of the potion."
"As for you, there will be plenty of opportunities to improve your skills in the future, so don't be overly ambitious."
"Fine," Crassus said listlessly, his head drooping.
Time passed slowly. During this time, the old count walked in. After seeing the situation, he didn't say anything, but stood behind Logo, quietly observing with his hands behind his back.
About half an hour later, the two rising auras gradually stabilized.
Logo opened his Eye of Insight to observe the changes in the strength of the two Dark Elf.
Yarwei was originally at the lower-middle level of the Tier Nine, but after being baptized by the Black Blood Potion, she successfully stepped into the Upper Tier Nine.
As for Windsor, her improvement was even greater. She not only successfully broke through to the Tier Eight, but also fought her way up to the middle of the Tier Eight, greatly increasing her strength.
A flash of black light appeared, and two pairs of beautiful eyes opened almost simultaneously, their pupils filled with deep joy.
"Thank you for your kindness, Earl. I will do my utmost to repay your favor." Windsor stood up first, bowed deeply, and said with utmost sincerity, his gratitude was all too obvious.
Yarwei was a step behind. Upon seeing Windsor's actions, her expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly followed suit, pledging her loyalty.
Logo gestured with one hand for them to stand up, and laughed, "I told you long ago, this is a powerful tonic. Now you believe me, right?"
The two nodded hastily.
"Alright, you may all leave. Go back and prepare. Select some skilled Dark Elf; I have a task for you to carry out."
Upon hearing Logo's words, the two, who were already excited about their greatly increased strength, smiled even more broadly.
Judging from these words, it's highly likely they're going to be released from the Underdark.
Yarwei and Windsor had long yearned for the vast world outside, and now that they finally had the chance to see it, they were incredibly excited, a feeling they couldn't Human Dao.
"Your Excellency, rest assured, we will certainly not disappoint you."
After speaking, the two respectfully withdrew from the laboratory and, led by Melier, left the Central Mage Tower.
Watching the two leave the room, Logo turned to Tiffany and Sherlock, and smiled, "Alright, the experiment is over. It looks pretty much what I predicted, and even exceeded it by a large margin. Now you two can use the Black Blood Potion without worry."
"Long live the boss!" Tiffany cheered, raising one hand. Sherlock, on the other hand, was much more reserved, only bowing slightly to Logo in respect.
"The experimental versions of the Black Blood Potion have all been used up, and there's no stock available right now. You'll have to wait two more days."
"No problem, good things come to those who wait." Tiffany chuckled, appearing quite carefree.
"Alright, there's nothing else to do now. You can all go do what you need to do, and don't crowd into my lab." Logo waved his hand, and the group left one after another, leaving only the old count behind.
"What brings you here?" Logo asked with a smile.
The old count glared. "What? Can't I come here?"
Logo shook his head helplessly. "Not at all. But haven't you always had absolutely no interest in alchemy?"
"It's all because of the commotion you caused, with golden light filling the sky. Not only this old man, but the entire Underdark was alarmed," the old count said, raising his chin in annoyance.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Who could have imagined that Caesar's evolution would produce such a drastic phenomenon?" Logo shrugged.
"Yes, I never expected that you could actually transform an Alchemy Dragon into a real intelligent life form, and a genuine alien True Dragon at that. It's simply unbelievable. The alchemist's methods are indeed unpredictable." The old count said with a look of admiration.
Logo shook his head. "While I played a leading role in Caesar's evolution this time, unforeseen factors were also indispensable. It's all a matter of timing and fate."
"Yes, Fate is unpredictable. No one knows whether they'll encounter a ghost or a god next..."
After exchanging a few words, the old count brought up another matter that had brought him here.
"Don't do any more major experiments for the next two weeks, so as not to delay the clan gathering."
Don't forget, this clan gathering is not only about my breakthrough to Legendary, but also about the future development of the Red Maple Clan and Ruibeite Company, and whether you can truly make a name for yourself in the Royal Court.
This is a very important matter, and we cannot take it lightly, understand?
The old count stared intently at Logo's face and gave him instructions.
"Don't worry, when have I ever failed on a critical matter?"
"That's good. Then I'll head back. I need to hurry and prepare for the breakthrough to Legendary status. This second and final attempt is my only chance; it's all or nothing!" A fierce glint flashed in the old count's eyes as he turned and left.
As a racial class, when Slaughter Knight breaks through to Legendary, if they want to achieve a complete life level advancement and awaken the class abilities corresponding to the Legendary level, they must enter the [Sea of Slaughter], which is the inner space of the race's treasure, [Eye of Gendaya].
Only after being tempered by the Sea of Slaughter and possessing unique clan resources can one fully unleash their professional potential.
This process requires a lot of resources, which the community will not provide for free; the community must prepare them themselves.
That's why the old count didn't choose to use [Slaughter - Blood Soul Plunder] to seize Topaz Dragon's blood soul power and immediately rush to Legendary, but instead waited for the clan gathering to arrive.
"Slaughter Knight, Eye of Gendaya... Where exactly does the bloodline of the Gendaya Tribe originate?" Logo murmured to himself, a series of guesses flashing through his mind, but ultimately, due to the lack of reference points, he could not be certain.
After all, there are countless Transcendent professions and races in the Astral Realm that use scythes as weapons, and even more with similar abilities, making it naturally not so easy to lock onto a target.
Unable to come to a conclusion, Logo stopped dwelling on it. He had never been a stubborn person, and this had become even more so after becoming an alchemist.
"Next, the production lines in each factory are running successfully, and the alchemy assistants in the Maker series are basically sufficient. It's time to forge my main battle equipment, as well as my signature products..."
With that in mind, Logo closed the laboratory door, took out a variety of materials, and got to work.
The Fire of Birth burned fiercely, transforming into golden-blue energy tentacles that extended to every corner of the laboratory, simultaneously manipulating numerous alchemical instruments to create parts of various structures.
This goes beyond simply multitasking; it's more like multitasking.
And so, amidst Logo's busy schedule, time quietly slipped by.
Two days later, Tiffany and her brother came to the laboratory and took away several doses of the Black Blood Potion.
Before long, the two of them broke through to the High-Rank Transcendent realm. When they joined forces, they could even assassinate Ninth-Rank Transcendent, adding two more powerful generals to Logo's roster.
In the blink of an eye, another ten days have passed.
The day had come; it was time to set off for Origin Island to attend the clan gathering.
In the laboratory, Logo put down his work and stuffed pieces of equipment into metal boxes. After folding them, they became cubes the size of human heads, with azure energy circuits on their surfaces that snaked around like snakes.
"Hmm, we're not far from fully mastering the Elementary Matter Folding Technology." Logo weighed the square metal box in his hand, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
Generally speaking, only senior Mechanics or mechanical alchemists of level 27 or above can master the Matter Folding Technology.
However, Logo achieved this essentially by reaching level 20 in Mechanics, simply by virtue of being at the intermediate alchemist level. If word got out, he would surely be showered with praise as a genius.
Open the information panel, and your current physical fitness level will be displayed.
Unbeknownst to him, Logo's life rank had already risen to the Tier Six, and his energy and mental attributes both exceeded 51 points.
Mechanics, Pharmacology, and Bloodline Science—the three major alchemical disciplines—have all been upgraded to level 20, just one step away from level 21, which represents an advanced alchemist.
If Logo hadn't needed to gather the Power of Legend, this secondary talent of the Fire of Birth would have already made him a high-level alchemist.
Speaking of the Power of Legend, the deduction progress of this talent has reached 95.23%, and it is not far from being fully formed.
Buzz!
The laboratory door opened, Crassus walked in.
"Boss, it's time to go!"
"Okay, let's go!" Logo nodded, and with a wave of his hand, metal cubes floated up into the air and followed behind him, like planets orbiting a star.
"Why am I left to guard the house? You all go out and have fun, this is not fair!" In front of the Mage tower, Annabelle pouted, looking like she was about to cry, her big eyes staring blankly at the old count.
The latter was immediately exasperated. "Can you stop messing around? The tribe only has two Legendary, you and Gain. Gain has to protect Logo. If you don't stay, what if an enemy takes the opportunity to invade?"
"Hmph, why won't you let me protect Logo? That stinky monkey only knows how to swing his stick; he should be the one staying behind," Annabelle said, rolling her eyes.
Just as the old count was about to speak, Logo stepped forward, chuckling, Earth Dao, "Gain Your Excellency cannot control the Mage tower, Your Excellency Annabelle, why don't you stay here? When we return, I'll give you a Azure Light Potions, how about that?"
"Azure Light? A dozen? You're not kidding me, are you?" Annabelle looked suspicious. Since when did Legend potions become sold by the "dozen"?
"When have I ever lied to you?" Logo asked seriously.
"Oh well."
Tempted by the Azure Light, Annabelle relented and agreed to protect the home.
Logo, along with Crassus, the Dark Twin Stars, Caesar, and Gain, boarded a flight to Origin Island with the old count.
