Chapter 41: Glamour Potion (Part 1)

"The child suddenly yelled. The emperor wasn't wearing any clothes at all. So, the trick of the liar was revealed ..."
In the warm room, the storytelling drama is still being performed every night.
After talking about "The Emperor's New Clothes", it is customary to discuss it and answer the many reasons why Avril put forward.
But this time, Avril didn't ask questions immediately, but lay on the soft big bed and fell into long thoughts.
"Xiu Yi, is not everyone with power deceived by the subordinates?"
"... Yes, it's just different degrees."
"Is this what you mean by gain and loss?"
"Yes, when you are high, power will blind your eyes and prevent you from seeing many things. You will be blinded, deceived, and surrounded by lies. The biggest difference between a good emperor and a poor emperor, Maybe he can tell what is a lie and what is true. "
Avril was silent.
As if remembering something, she murmured, "My mother is the queen of the empire. She always considers herself the most beautiful woman. And the servants around her always say the same. But the father told her Always indifferent. She desperately dressed herself, trying to get her father to pay more attention to her, but it turned out ... "
Avril blinked her eyes, and tears like crystals dripped: "Actually, she's already old and can't stay beautiful anymore, right?"
"Yes." Gong Hao nodded.
"Those maids are lying, right?"
"... Yes, Avril. They are lying. They dare not tell the truth, because they are afraid that your mother will not accept the truth that she is old."
"I feel so uncomfortable in my heart that I have always been living a lie." Ai Weier got into the bed sadly and covered her head with a quilt.
Gong Hao lifted the quilt gently, looked at the little face with tears, and said softly, "You are much happier than your mother, because you have at least a friend, he will not deceive you."
Ai Weier blinked her bright big eyes and stared at Gong Hao: "You mean you will never lie to me?"
Gong Hao thought about it and answered, "Avril, you must know that there are many kinds of lies. Some are kind, some are malicious, some are for their own benefit, and some are forced to do nothing. If you ask me if I will never Will lie to you, then I can only answer you, I will try my best to protect you and not hurt you, maybe I will hide from you in the future, maybe there will be good faith deception, but in any case, I will not be like you The people let you live in lies because they fear you. "
Avril sighed: "I don't think it's okay to be a princess now."
"Well, as a princess, you may lose some of the happiness of civilians, but you will also not have the troubles of civilians. You cannot get everything, which is inevitable. When you understand this truth, you already have grown up."
"Yes, I see."
Avril laughed secretly, and it seemed that she remembered her performance when she first landed on the island.
Gong Hao felt that Avril now is really better than when she first met.
"Xiu Yi, do you think I look good?"
"Yes, you are beautiful."
"Truth?"
"I really want to say that you look ugly to prove that I dare to tell the truth. But in the face of this god's most outstanding creation, I can't profane. And that's the real lie."
"Your martial arts are much better than those who are down." The little princess grinned.
"Even the truth can be well spoken, of course, just for you."
The little princess spit out her tongue. It seems that half of her misfortune just now was because she suspected that people praised her beauty were lies, but now it was confirmed from Gong Hao's mouth that it felt different.
She twisted a little.
"Well, don't be sad." Gong Hao laughed. "I think I have good news for you."
"What's the good news?" Ai Weier knew that Gong Hao's good news always excited her.
"Maybe I can make your mother more pampered by your father."
"You mean ..."
"Yan Yan Potion, you know. But it can only delay aging and not make women more attractive. I think maybe I can develop a better potion. I call it a charm potion. Of course, this is all for You do it, I hope you can keep it secret ... "
Avril bite her lower lip and looked at Gong Hao with a slightly tilted look, which was full of temptation. She said softly, "Xiu Yi, you are so good."
Gong Hao patted her little hand: "But I need someone to help me. How about lending me a maid? I have to use potions on her to verify the effect. You know the results of alchemy may be beautiful, but the process is always It's cruel. I don't want to experiment on you. "
Avril nodded desperately.
She rang the bell.
A nice maid came in.
"Isadora, the alchemy test of Hugh Iglell requires a maid. I temporarily lent you to him. From today on, you obey his orders. Whatever he asks you to do, do you understand? "Apart from being gentle to Gong Hao, Avril is facing majestic orders most of the time. It is a majestic order, and no one is allowed to resist her will. This great disparity makes Gong Hao feel weird.
"Yes, Her Royal Highness." The maid answered kneeling, then hurried back.
"Now that the story is over, you can rest early and I will go back to sleep. There is still much to do tomorrow." Gong Hao said to Ai Weier.
"Oh, Xiuyi, I don't want you to go." Ai Weier held Gong Hao unwilling to let go.
"Well, Avril, I have to go. I have to make some fireworks for you before going to bed. God knows that you fired all the fireworks in one day. I said you can only put them when you are lonely and boring."
"I have been lonely without your time."
Gong Hao was touched by Avril's answer.
He squeezed Avril's soft little hand and got up to leave.
He could feel the reluctant gaze behind him.
Close the door gently, and the maid named Isadora is still waiting at the door.
Gong Hao said to her, "Come to my laboratory in the Alchemy Tower tomorrow morning. You will know what you should do then."
"Yes, sir."
The maid answered.
grown ups? Gong Hao couldn't help but call it fresh.
Since when have you been called an adult?
He looked around for a while, only to find that the same servants, almost all servants and maids looked at their own eyes, a little unusual.
No one dared to regard Gong Hao as a mean servant or ordinary apprentice.
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Gong Hao quickly left.
Back in his room, Gong Hao calmed his mind and returned to work.
But instead of making fireworks for Avril Lavigne, research was done on flesh and blood.
After seeing the illusion brought by the Troll God that day, he realized that Electra was likely to use the elemental shock to complete the production of flesh and blood.
He must pass repeated experiments to prove his conjecture.
This is the 28th test tonight.
Carefully moving a mass of soul energy into the soul beads, Gong Hao began meditation.
Elemental induction is stimulated through meditation, and after resonating, the soul energy is adjusted to the level of elemental shock, and then the energy in the orbs is fixed to the same rhythm by some alchemy method.
Electra was using the magician's means to complete alchemy. In a sense, this completely departed from the original intention of the original alchemy, and it is no wonder that the alchemists could not recast the glory of Electra.
After all, no alchemist has the talent to cultivate magic.
Under the effect of meditation, the soul energy in the magic beads began to appear the oscillating reaction in the bead like the troll god, like boiling water, constantly boiled and tumbling in the beads.
Gong Hao carefully adjusted his own rhythm and sensed changes in mana. He could clearly feel that in this alchemy process, his ability to sense the elements increased significantly, a little magical power entered the body, bringing him unprecedented joy. .
Succeeded!
Gong Hao was ecstatic.
He finally understood why Electra engaged in alchemy as a magician.
It turned out that he was not only practicing alchemy, but also practicing magic.
By resonating with the energy of the soul, not only can you create powerful demons, but you can even greatly increase your ability to sense your own elements. This is a two-pronged approach!
Electra, you are such a genius. He is undoubtedly inventing a way to practice magic like a samurai's extreme exercise method.
And it's even better, and it doesn't end with excessive fatigue.
After the fierce elemental shock, the energy in the magic beads gradually subsided, and the breath of soul began to escape to the outside. Gong Hao knows that he has not yet invented a method that can effectively stun the soul energy. Obviously, this part belongs to the category of alchemy.
However, it should not be difficult to solve this problem, and Hines estimates that it can do it.
As long as the problem of increasing the strength of the soul is solved, it is equivalent to solving the problems of the increase of flesh and blood combat power and the choice of the soul. The strength of the soul is improved through elemental shock. This genius method is probably only possible by Electra.
Although this is only his first success, and it must be tested repeatedly to confirm that it is feasible, Gong Hao believes that this is no longer a problem. In a few days, he can report the results to Hines.
A long sigh of relief, Gong Hao felt only a splitting headache.
It turned out that using this method to increase the strength of the magic exercise soul will have certain sequelae, but fortunately, as long as you sleep, it should be fine.
This is the sweetest time he has slept since researching flesh and blood.
In the dream, he found that he had saved all the teenagers, and then took them away from Purgatory Island and lived a free life.
Perhaps the fairy tale has been told a lot, Gong Hao thinks it all seems like a fairy tale.
Early the next morning, Isadora came to Gong Hao's laboratory.
"Sir, do you have any instructions?"
"Drink this bottle of medicine." Gong Hao took out a medicine bottle and said to Isadora.
"This is ..." Isadora looked at the blue potion in the bottle, panicking.
"Don't worry, this is not a poison. It is a hormone that can stimulate human hormones ... Well, how can I tell you?" Gong Hao thought for a while, then said: "This is a kind that can help you to radiate attractive men. Attention medicine. I made it with charming grass and other special things, it can stimulate your body, so that your body will automatically release a special smell, which has a fatal temptation to men. You yourself It looks good, and after drinking this thing, I guess there will be many men fascinated by you. "
Isadora blushed: "But lord ..."
Gong Hao stopped her: "I promised to make a potion for the little princess. This potion can make women increase her charm. You are lucky to be the first test of this potion. If it succeeds, I will Thank you and give you a few bottles of this potion, believe me. With it, you will definitely find the best man in the future. "
Isadora lowered her head and felt her heart pounding.
"In order to test the effectiveness of the potion, I need you to do one thing for me."
"What is it, sir?"
"Simple, how old are you this year?"
"Fourteen."
"Well, with your age, in general, it is easier to attract the attention of peers. But with this potion, I need your range of attraction to increase, even for people who are several decades older than you. You are fascinated. "
"what do you mean……"
"Drink this potion and go to the test room of Lord Piere on the sixth floor of the Alchemy Tower. I don't care what you do, anyway, I want you to ensure that Lord Piere pays attention to you. If you can do it, this means that the potion works .If you can't do it, then I can only try some other methods on your body, it is not necessarily easier than drinking potions. Oh yes, have you learned the tricks to seduce men? "
Isadora shook her head in a hurry.
"Then I will teach you some. Remember, this is just a small test. You don't need to worry about what consequences to fear. It only suffices to let Lord Pierce pay attention to you. But if you in turn let Lord Pierce know For your purpose, it means that not only the potion is useless, but you are also very useless. You failed to attract him, but you were defeated by him. "
Isadora was a little panicked: "Can you ... try it for someone else?"
"No. Lord Pierre is the most determined man I've ever seen. To confirm the effectiveness of the potion, you must test it on him. But I warn you, if you let Lord Pierre know my test, I do n’t think he will be happy. Then the consequence is that I may be punished for it, and the potion will not be successful. As for your end ... Is n’t your princess' temper very right? I guess she wo n’t accept me The test failed because of a maid's incompetence. So what do you think she would do to you? "
Isadora shuddered: "Yes, Lord, I will never let Lord Pierce see any problems."
"Very well, you have a month to seduce Lord Pierre. During this time I will always adjust the potion to optimize the effect. You must report to me every day his movements, including how he looks at you, Action, what did you say. "
"Yes, sir, but how can I approach him?"
"I will naturally create excuses for you." Gong Hao took out a few bottles of potion: "After drinking that thing, you send these bottles of potion to Lord Piere, saying that you were sent by the princess as my assistant Yes, help me send some finished products, get some materials, do some errands. Because the princess wants me to finish the work early to accompany her. As for how you stay there after the delivery, it depends on your ability. You can Pretending to fall, you can also pretend to be curious about the process of alchemy. If one day you can accept his invitation in his laboratory and leave at least an hour, then you and I have succeeded. "
"Yes, I will work hard, sir."
When Isadora said these words, Gong Hao's feeling became more and more strange.
This year and a half, what he probably said the most was this sentence, but now, someone has said so to him.
With a slight smile, he put the vial of blue potion into Isadora's hand.
"Drink it," he said.
