Chapter 222: Crazy Purchase of Medicine

Chapter 222:

Three days after the frantic potion buying, Locke and Elagabalus, along with Howard and another speed painter, completed a complete set of magic painting maps.

During these three days, Elagabalus and Tok Carlyle hardly slept for more than an hour.

Of course, the mental strength of both of them is probably between 300 and 400, so even if they don’t sleep for three days, nothing will happen.

It took them three days of overtime work to finally finish a magic map.

The Curse Spell Research Institute is very large and has many professional facilities inside, so surveying and mapping is extremely difficult.

But at the same time, Locke used the summoning of tomb spirits to collect information about the negative energy particle field of the building, allowing Elagabalus to create a map in a very high-precision form.

It was obvious that Elagabalus had considerable artistic aspirations. After successfully creating a magic map, this gloomy young man with bangs folded it in his hands and examined it. “Brilliant, exquisite, and full of artistic information!”

“Mr. Augustine, the information you provided me was very precise. Therefore, under your high standards, the accuracy of my magic map is very high.”

“It will have high practical value.”

Elagabalus turned over the magic map and showed it to Locke. It was covered with densely packed tiny brushes, with a small green dot in the upper left corner, and a small red dot in the central laboratory of the Curse Spell Research Institute.

That red dot is the target.

This is a function that Locke obtained by summoning the tomb spirit and collecting the information about the impact of the magic pressure left by the tomb spirit in the surrounding area on the negative energy particle field. He then asked the speed painter Elagabalus to use special visual illusion methods to create it.

Although Rashid Talil is an official wizard, if you try to lock his location directly with magic, you will definitely fail or be discovered by him.

But Locke was not stupid enough to do that. What was locked on this map was the impact of his magic pressure on the negative energy particle field in the surrounding environment within one hour.

In other words, although the accuracy of locking him will be lower, it is safer and less likely to be discovered.

Elagabalus said excitedly, “According to your request, this magic painting has also been equipped with a 0.5-level illusion attack spell, [Visual Illusion]. If necessary, it can attack any dark wizard who sees this magic painting.”

Locke nodded slightly, inspected the magic painting, and placed it in his astral ring. “Master Elagabalus, you did a great job.”

“You don’t have to go anywhere else for the rest of the time.”

“You can command my servants at will in this house and complete all the magic drawings of magic plants and potions for me. They must be three-dimensional.”

“During this period, my teacher, the official wizard Sophia, will arrange for a first-class wizard apprentice to come and help you complete the magic painting work.”

Elagabalus gave a wry smile.

He had long expected that Locke would most likely handle it this way.

At the same time, he was secretly shocked. According to the subtext of Locke’s words, there were actually official wizards involved in the production of the magic map he participated in this time.

This is a big deal.

Elagabalus said, “Very well, Mr. Augustine. I will not go anywhere. I will stay here for the rest of the month until you return.”

Elagabalus wisely said, “Mr. Augustine, my fellow apprentice and I don’t want to get involved in any trouble. We don’t want to leave now if you ask us to.”

“Besides, the magic painting job you arranged for us is indeed quite large in scale. The minimum cost is over 1,500 magic stones. This is a big order for my gallery, so I am happy to stay here.”

Elagabalus spoke the truth.

Their gallery is not that profitable at all. The number of wizards who want magic paintings will never be as many as the number of wizards who want magic plants, alchemical items, or potions.

After all, magic paintings are just a niche demand.

Otherwise, the wizards of their Atlas Color Institute would not have gone bankrupt in such large numbers, forcing them to drag their families around and get orders everywhere.

The project Locke gave him was enough to support his gallery for a month, and it was even five or six hundred magic stones higher than the normal monthly gallery income.

So, of course, Elagabalus was happy.

Before Locke left, Elagabalus said to Locke, “Mr. Augustine, if you have any needs next time, you can come to me.”

“This kind of thing is indeed very exciting, but excitement is the source of our art.”

Locke glanced at Elagabalus, nodded slightly, and left the house.

Later, Sophia the Witch’s teacher, Morgana’s students, that is, her younger classmates will come over to block the news for her and guard this place.

The more sensitive parts of his residence have been hidden by himself, or placed in the star ring and carried with him.

The botanical garden will also be temporarily sealed off with a magic lock from the School of Protection and will not be open to the public.

In addition, this group of people are considered to be Mrs. Morgana’s own people in her network of relationships, so they are still very safe.

If anything goes wrong, he just needs to tell Witch Sophia, and Lady Morgana will not forgive them.

After Locke left the house, he looked back at his own residence, raised his eyebrows, and said, “Elagabalus is so hypocritical. He clearly cares about the money he can make from the project I gave him, but he keeps talking about art.”

“Forget it. This kind of thing has nothing to do with me. It’s just his personality.”

“But his magic painting skills are really good. Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.”

Locke left here in a hurry. He went to the Chimera Market for the last time and went directly to the Owl Crucible Potion Shop.

Locke directly ordered an empty private room in the shop managed by Angel and Aisi, and spent two thousand magic stones to buy a large number of potions.

As for detoxification potions, I already have the broad-spectrum antidote potion, the Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potion, so there is no need to buy any more. Therefore, all the potions I bought are functional ones.

Angelo frowned. “Locke, you seem to have bought too many potions. If you take so many in a short period of time, it will cause serious side effects.”

“The potion is too toxic.”

“Look, this is the Spiritual Spring Soul Surge Potion, a potion that restores mental strength, costing one hundred magic stones per potion. Not only is it highly toxic, but it also has some side effects, like causing short-term overactivity of the brain’s nerves.”

“It’s so hard to rest, my mind is so active.”

“Even if it’s a mild side effect, if you drink more than three bottles in a short period of time, it will become a very serious side effect…”

“There may be abnormal activation of brain areas, which can cause long-term chronic side effects, and there may also be short-term side effects such as crystallization of the heart, which can be fatal.”

Angelo frowned. “But you bought ten of these potions alone. While the Spirit Spring Soul Surge Potion is the best apprentice-level potion for restoring mana, it’s also the one with the highest death toll among all potions of this type.”

“What kind of experiment are you planning to do that requires you to buy ten? As your friend, I advise you to buy only two.”

“Ten…”

Inside the VIP room, Aisi took a look at Locke’s purchase order and cried out in surprise. “Oh my god, even a ground dragon would die if it took the potion on your purchase order.”

“Not only the Spirit Spring Soul Surge Potion, but also five bottles of Cycad Purple Mind Tincture and three Cortex Energy Plugs.”

“These two d*rugs also have serious side effects. If taken for a long time, it will cause harm.”

Cycad Purple Mineral Tincture is a medicine that can be injected intravenously into oneself in critical moments to relieve fatigue and increase mana recovery speed several times.

Moreover, it can increase the spell power of a wizard apprentice by 10% within one hour of injection.

This potion costs 50 magic stones each. The reason it is not expensive is that, first of all, it is relatively simple to make.

Second, its materials are very cheap.

Third, the demand for it is really huge. This thing is a life-saving device in battle.

It is also included in the list of items that are prohibited from being sold to the outside world in Lilith’s Hut. It is a unique skill that some wizard apprentices in Lilith’s Hut like to use.

The side effects are also great. Taking Cycad Purple Mint Tincture once in a short period of time will only make you feel very tired afterwards, and the body needs to metabolize most of the toxicity of the drug (there is always a part that cannot be metabolized).

However, if taken continuously within a short period of time, Zi Ming Tincture has moderate magical toxicity, and once the toxicity accumulates, it can be fatal.

Similarly, cortical recharge suppositories are generally used in conjunction with Cycad Purple Mint Tincture, which can also quickly eliminate a person’s fatigue.

The side effect is that these feelings of fatigue will eventually accumulate and eventually explode.

To sum up, Locke bought a bunch of potions. Unless his body is very good, if ten of him drink these potions, he will die.

Angelo and Aisi were both shocked by the exaggerated amount of medicine purchased.

Most people buy these things one by one.

No one can be as exaggerated as Locke.

Of course, they didn’t know that Locke had a deep purple gem, and that his body had the blood of the king of ancient creatures, the three-eyed tiger-eyed cat.

Locke had calculated that an average wizard apprentice would not be able to withstand this dosage of medicine, but for his current physique, it was just right when combined with the deep purple gem.

There is still great significance in purchasing these medicines.

It can not only save your life, but also enhance your combat effectiveness and increase your ability to plunder the magical resources of the dark wizards.

The biggest invisible benefit of using the blood of ancient creatures to strengthen your body is that it increases your drug resistance.

Therefore, as long as one combines it with drug use, one’s overall strength can be increased many times out of thin air without leaving any side effects.

So, you still need to have a good physique.

Locke tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said with a smile, “What are you two worried about? Don’t you know me? How could I buy a potion and eat myself to death?”

“It’s just that I have an experiment recently that requires such a large amount of medicine.”

“And, you see, I also bought ten tubes of black and white flame potion. This is not for ingestion.”

The black and white flame potion is relatively cheap and contains two opposite magic flames. When fighting the enemy, throwing the two bottles of potion at the same time can trigger a chain explosion reaction of magic flames in mid-air, with a power roughly equivalent to a 0.6-ring spell.

This is an application of magic flame discovered by alchemists in the field of magic flame, which is equivalent to explosives.

The price is very cheap and its positioning is similar to that of Crystal Palm Fire Lotus.

Locke bought these potions just to enrich his means of attack, and this kind of potion can be used in a variety of ways when combined with the methods of his alchemist assistant.

Angelo and Aisi breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Locke was only used for experiments.

Angelo nodded and said, “Locke, it’s good that you know. Now the future of Aisi and I depends on you.”

“Ai Xi and I want to write more articles with you.”

Aisi blushed slightly. “Actually, we’re not the only ones who think so. Even our mentor, Wizard Edwin, suggested that we just follow you and learn a lot.”

“It will be of great benefit to our future. They even say that following you can increase the chances of becoming a formal wizard.”

Ai Xi complained, “That guy probably thought that if we follow you, we can get more resources.”

Angelo coughed softly. “Aixi, don’t criticize official wizards, even in private. Every official wizard is an elite among knowledge workers and holds a special place in the Southeast Region.”

“The most important thing is, if he hears this, he won’t allocate research resources to you…”

Ai Xi waved her hand. “Don’t worry, if we follow Locke, we’ll have the resources to publish articles. Do we still need to rely on Teacher Edwin?”

“What kind of research resources does he have? He’s just swindling people everywhere.”

Angelo coughed awkwardly. “Don’t dare say that outside. We can’t bear the wrath of a proper wizard, even if it’s just a teacher’s anger towards a student.”

Locke interrupted in a low voice, saying, “Angel, Aisi, I bought such a large amount of potions, and I don’t want others to know. Can you block the records for me?”

Aisi’s eyes showed confusion.

Angelo thought for a moment, nodded seriously, and discussed with Locke, “I see. You’re worried that your experiment won’t pass the association’s ethical review mechanism, so you want to secretly produce some results first, right?”

“sure.”

“I’ve done this to several potion master assistants before.”

Aisi looked at Angelo in surprise. “But this is against the rules. If Madam Irina knew…”

Angelo spread his hands. “If you follow the rules, you won’t be able to accomplish anything. I call this applying the rules.”

“Besides, what kind of outrageous experiments could Locke have done? We both know his character.”
