Celestial Mage

Chapter 226 Do things without considering the consequences, right? (56)

Philander Village is in the south of the city, and Lily Manor is in the east of the city. The distance between them is about 16 miles, which is not too far.

The road was also good. Under the guard of the Silver Moon Ranger, the Bright Moon carriage galloped all the way, and arrived at the ground in less than four or ten minutes, and it was only before two o'clock in the afternoon.

Arriving at the entrance of the manor, as soon as he got off the car, the butler Lowe greeted Rosen with enthusiasm when he saw him.

"Ah~ The master guessed correctly~ Please come in please come in~ Please come in quickly."

Rosen pointed to the Silvermoon Ranger who followed: "They are all my comrades in arms, and the housekeeper arranged a resting place for them."

"No problem. There is a small lake in the backyard of the manor. Gentlemen can go fishing there for leisure. If you are sleepy, there is enough room to rest."

Rosen signaled to Watson: "Go, I'll let you know if something happens."

Afterwards, he followed the butler to the manor villa.

"Has Madam been concentrating on refining medicine recently?"

"That's right~ Madame's alchemy skills are very powerful, much better than those so-called famous alchemists."

Rosen recalled Vivienne's strange behavior in Philander Village before, and a strange thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

Of course, there is no evidence for this idea, it is just conjecture.

"When I see Vivienne, if I lie to her, I think I can get the answer."

Entering the villa hall, butler Lowe saluted Rosen.

"Madam is in the alchemy room in the basement, the entrance is over there, you can go there by yourself."

Rosen nodded, and secretly raised his vigilance in his heart, but he didn't feel flustered, because the constant luck shield effect on him was still there.

Walking to the door of the basement, he knocked lightly on the door: "Vivian, is it convenient for me to come in now?"

'click~'

There was a soft sound from behind the door, and then Vivian's voice came out.

"Honey, the door is open, come in."

Rosen pushed the door and entered.

After entering the door, there is a downward semicircular staircase. After walking down a few steps, you will see a slightly dark and wide basement.

The basement is at least [-] square meters, surrounded by flat stone walls, the floor is covered with wooden boards, and there is a long square table in the middle, on which there are all kinds of strangely shaped utensils.

Most are made of crystal glass, others are ceramic, brass, bronze.

Rosen observed carefully, and found tools commonly used in chemical laboratories such as stills, thermometers, alcohol lamps, etc., and their shapes were quite exquisite.

On the walls on both sides, there were many wooden shelves, and there were many glass bottles on the shelves. The bottles contained all kinds of weird things that Lawson couldn't name.

Vivienne was busy standing in front of the square table.

She was wearing a thick cowhide apron, thick cowhide gloves, and a bird's beak leather mask on her head. After seeing Rosen, she pointed to a set of thick cowhide protective equipment on the wall by the door.

"Hurry up and put it on, there are quite a few things inside of me that are highly poisonous."

Rosen didn't dare to slack off, so he did it immediately.

Even with the toxin shield on her body, Alfreya might not be able to cure Vivian's poison.

After putting it on, he still stood five or six meters away.

"It's a little dark inside, do I need to keep a magic ball of light on the ceiling?"

Vivian immediately shook her head: "No, no, many materials don't like strong light."

Hearing this, Rosen knew that the other party did have a very in-depth study of alchemy.

Seeing that the other party was concentrating on refining some unknown potion, he didn't bother him and waited quietly.

After about 10 minutes, the potion seems to be successfully refined.

Vivian turned off the alcohol lamp, and said to Rosen: "Look at the wall, there is a pull-type ventilation fan, pull it down for me to ventilate the room."

Rosen did as he did, pulling and pulling, and sure enough, a lot of fresh air poured into the basement to replace the slightly dirty air.

Vivienne carefully put the newly refined potion into the crystal bottle, sealed the bottle with tin foil, and then looked at Rosen, smiling coquettishly: "Let's go, let's talk in the hall."

The two took off their protective clothing and returned to sit in the hall.

After sitting down, Vivian smiled sweetly at Rosen: "Honey, do you miss me that much?"

On the other hand, Rosen's face was solemn, his eyes were cold, and he was holding the flower staff tightly with one hand.

"Vivienne, I was sorry for you once, but I have sincerely apologized. Why do you still want to hurt me?"

Vivian's expression froze slightly, and her eyes flickered: "Hit you? No."

"Humph!"

Rosen sneered: "Ferren is my mortal enemy, but you helped him break through the master cliff! Isn't this a great harm to me?"

Vivienne's expression froze completely, and it took a while to recover, and she looked at Rosen with strange eyes.

"How did you know?"

"I guessed, and your reaction told me I was right."

While speaking, Rosen had already slowed down, because he knew that Vivienne was not a threat to him.

Seeing him like this, Vivian also eased her tense mind, and gently raised her hand to pat her forehead.

"Hey~ It's really frightening to deal with a smart person like you. You can't hide any secrets."

Then he glanced at Rosen cautiously: "I really didn't mean to."

Rosen nodded: "You want to test him for medicine, right?"

When Vivienne heard this, she immediately smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Yeah, yeah~ My mana has reached the peak of the high level, but I can't break through, so I tried to refine a kind of archmage potion."

"I thought about all kinds of methods, but I really found a possible effective method and refined the finished product."

"But I don't dare to use it myself, and it's hard to find a mage at the peak of the high level. Even if I find it, I'm definitely not willing to try it for me."

Rosen understood.

"So, you took advantage of Master Electrolux's sudden death, and when Faerun was hit and depressed, you tricked him into taking the potion?"

"Yes."

Vivienne's eyebrows were beaming, as if she had done something very proud of her.

"But Fei Lun is a high-level peak mage after all, even if he is depressed, he will definitely not test the medicine for me."

"So, I used white umbrella, poisonous firefly grass, and sad heart flower to refine a stun potion, and then I hid outside his window and said a few words secretly. As a result, he stupidly drank the potion."

Rosen listened carefully, and felt that the matter sounded simple, but it was very confusing to operate, and it was extremely easy to make mistakes.

"Aren't you afraid that Faerun will beat you to death after being discovered?"

Vivian didn't care.

"The process of pursuing true knowledge is always dangerous. In fact, this little danger is nothing to me. I have done more dangerous things, and I almost died that time."

Rosen frowned slightly: "The only existence on the high ground that is more dangerous than a high-level peak mage is the Earl. You didn't give the Earl medicine, did you?"

Recalling that the butler once said that Vivienne had designed the Mochizuki Garden for the Earl, I felt that the possibility of this matter was extremely high!
Vivienne waved her hands again and again: "No, no, no, how dare I take the earl to test the medicine, it will really kill people. In fact, ahem~~~ It's all over anyway, so I won't mention it."

She didn't seem to want to mention the past, and she was about to change the subject immediately.

But Rosen thought about lightning, and already guessed another possibility.

He lowered his voice and looked at Vivienne with the look of a lunatic: "The ancient evil god in Yuehui Town unexpectedly awakened, you can't do it?!"

He originally suspected Faerun, but after knowing that Faerun's background was Electrolux and he was not punished by the Earl, he knew that this matter probably had nothing to do with Faerun.

Since it has nothing to do with Faerun, and the person who does this must be a powerful mage, then Vivian, an alchemist who has no fear of God, is very likely.

Vivienne's complexion turned white in an instant, and she immediately denied it.

"No, no, it's not me!"

Rosen stared intently.

Vivian's voice became smaller and smaller: "I didn't do it on purpose, I just wanted to get some supernatural materials to refine medicine."

The sound is low, like a mosquito screeching.

Rosen was extremely speechless. He believed what Vivienne said was true, but he also deeply felt that this woman was weird.

"You do something, don't you want the consequences?"

Vivienne spread her hands, her face full of grievances.

"There are countless secrets in the world, most of which I don't know. Isn't it normal for some accidents that I don't know to happen during exploration?"

Rosen was speechless for a moment, because what he said was right.

There are many chemists in the history of the earth who died on the spot because they directly smelled chemicals.The younger brother of Nobel, the dynamite king, was killed when he was still doing experiments.

Vivienne is considered to be the first batch of chemists in this world. If she didn't have the spirit of not being afraid of death, she might not be able to achieve her current achievements.

After a long time, he whispered: "You know this, I know it, but don't let the third person know! Otherwise, you will be punished by God!"

Although Vivienne's actions indirectly killed many people, he is not a moral gentleman, but he is too lazy to meddle in other people's affairs.

After a pause, he said: "Let this matter pass completely, and I will keep my mouth shut for you. But you also have to control your own mouth, don't think about showing off everywhere!"

Hearing what Rosen said, Vivienne breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately raised her hand to pinch her lips.

"I promise I won't say it."

Rosen believed her, because judging from her performance, she was not really fearless, but was still very afraid of the third golden rule.

Only then did he ask Faerun about it: "What are the side effects of the Archmage's potion?"

Vivienne smiled lightly: "According to my estimation, there are three possible side effects."

"First, it takes effect, but it is feminized. Second, it takes effect, but it becomes a beast. Third, it is invalid, and it is violently killed on the spot."

Rosen was taken aback: "Then can you tell the side effects by appearance?"

"Yes, the reduction of hair is the first. The increase of hair, such as the thickening of beard and hair, is the second. You can find time to observe Faerun."

Rosen asked again: "Ferren is not dead, so that seems to be the first and second side effects. To what extent will it be?"

Vivienne thought for a while: "I don't know, but it shouldn't be light, right?"

After thinking for a while, he said: "After I reduced the efficacy of the medicine, I tried it on hounds, chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits. The most serious ones became very thorough."

"The lightest ones are only slightly changed. But there is a general rule that the older you are, the more you change."

Rosen understood, stopped paying attention to Faerun, and was going to ask about clay potion.

Vivienne suddenly added another sentence.

"Ah~ There is also a side effect, that is, the life span will be greatly shortened, maybe five or six years, maybe one or two years, or even less than half a year."

Rosen was speechless: "Then you are killing him."

"Actually, there is no such side effect, but he is your opponent, so I added rejuvenation essence."

"This essence can greatly stimulate the body, and it will be full of energy for a short time, just like returning to a teenager, and then it will burn out like a violently burning candle."

What else could Rosen say: "Thank you so much."

Vivienne waved her hands again and again.

"Who made you the father of the child, and I don't want my child to have a father since childhood, so I will definitely help you."

After a pause, he said again: "I know why you are here, you want to find low-cost clay potions, right?"

Rosen nodded: "Yes, the lower the cost, the better."

Vivienne thought for a while: "It's difficult, but you can open a workshop and make a lot of potions to spread the cost. Of course, the initial investment is expensive."

Before Rosen could answer, she smiled and pointed to the ceiling.

"If you can make me happy in the next hour, I will ask my brother to pay for a clay potion workshop, and supply it exclusively to you at the lowest possible price."

Rosen suddenly had the feeling of being beaten by a rich woman with money.

But he really needs this kind of potion, and he is not an innocent boy, so he nodded: "I will try my best."

An hour later, Rosen left the villa a little tired.As for Vivienne, she was already extremely tired and fell asleep.

When the Silvermoon rangers arrived, Rosen noticed that they all had weird expressions.

After thinking about it for a while, I knew the reason. Vivienne's mana burst out just now, and her voice penetrated the home protection spell.

Coughing lightly, Rosen explained with some embarrassment: "Believe me, I did this to better build Crescent Town."

A ranger said: "Sir, you don't need to explain, we have all heard of Vivienne's deeds, she is indeed a very difficult woman."

Another ranger said: "Yes, we can all understand your difficulties."

The third ranger looked shocked: "Sir, your ability is really admirable!"

Rosen's heart warmed, and he let out a long sigh: "Let's go back to Philander Village!"
