Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!
Chapter 84
The alchemy in this world was a bit similar to the chemistry in Xu Jun's original world, especially the need for a lot of bottles and jars. Heating, cooling, extraction, distillation, and other processes were similar, but in essence, there was still a big difference.
Chemistry was a rigorous science, but alchemy required some "creative" talent because there were many refining methods in alchemy under many circumstances.
For example, for the processing of the juice of the Revelry Vine, if you wanted to make it into a raw material for stimulants, you could heat it up and distill it, or you could directly burn the Revelry Vine and let it drip pure juice.
The latter would naturally have the smell of burning things.
The civilians were not clear about this, but the combatants and various scholars in the upper class were quite clear about this common knowledge.
Alchemy was originally a kind of learning. The upper class nobles boasted of their elegance and had a lot of knowledge about poetry, dance, inscriptions, and alchemy. Otherwise, they would be embarrassed to call themselves cultured people.
The lives of combatants were closely related to alchemy. In order to prevent being deceived by alchemists and herb merchants, they had to know some of it themselves.
So when the old adventurer Larry said that he smelled something on the bishop's robe, he might not be wrong.
However, it was hard to say whether it was evidence of the bishop using the Tree of Revelry to make illegal drugs, because many materials in alchemy required the step of burning.
The smell of the Revelry Vine after burning was nothing special, and it was easy to be confused with the smell of other herbs after burning.
The plot was full of twists and turns. Xu Jun held his chin in his hand and thought. At this moment, he felt that he was no longer the ordinary Xu Jun, but the famous detective Xu Jun.
In fact, when he just talked to the bishop of Mendama, he had a good impression of the bishop of Carloman. He was kind, tolerant, and sympathetic to the weak. He was full of guilt for being forced to use illegal drugs. When he saw the Mogg Rock, he was not greedy. He was a very good old man.
It didn't make sense for a person like him to use snow orchids or revelry vines to create stimulants or aphrodisiacs, unless he had no need for such drugs and only wanted to sell them for money.
Although Mundama City's economy was prosperous, it was still an independent city. It did not have any backing, so its security was not as good as many cities under the Golden Banner. The city's construction did not receive any support from the country, so it was all self-sufficient. Every year, it would result in a high expenditure. Of course, there was no extra money for the church.
In such a city, the Illuminati Church's income came from donations from the commoners and nobles who lived in the city. Most of the adventurers did not believe in the God of Light. They did not believe in the God of Light. They only went to the Church of Light to pray and throw down some coins when they were about to confess to a girl or a boy or before they went out on a mission. It was as if the God of Light would bless them.
The Church of Light in Mundama City was different from the Church of Light in the Golden Banner Snow Blade Kingdom. They looked glamorous, but in reality, they had very little profit.
If it was said that the bishop was refining forbidden drugs for money, it would make sense in theory.
But if he really had such intentions … He might as well spend some effort to connect the mayor of Mundama City with the Pope of the Illuminati or the Elders. An independent city like this would not be willing to spend any amount of money in order to get close to a large church like the Illuminati.
Moreover … If someone found out that the bishop of the Illuminati was refining forbidden drugs and selling them for money, then … He might as well use it himself. _ (: 3. ∠) _
Xu Jun had no other choice. He could not just tell the old man that nothing would happen if he stayed in the city and that the bishop was a good person. In the end, he could only give the old man some coins and give him an invisibility barrier rune and a divine shield rune.
"Paste this on your little hut. Your hut, along with the items and people inside, will be hidden. Hiding inside, the enemy will not be able to attack you. Then, paste the divine shield rune on your roof."
The old adventurer Larry looked at the two talismans that Xu Jun handed over. He looked as if he was in a dream. "… What?"
The invisibility barrier rune was blue and the size of a palm. It was very thin and smooth, and the words on it were written with gold powder. He could not understand it, but it was very beautiful, like a painting.
The divine shield rune looked much more high-end. It was a bit like a VIP gold card, with a beautiful emblem of the light shield drawn on the front.
There were also two thin films on the back. Old Larry could not help but use his fingernails to scratch them, only to find that they were like stickers.
Xu Jun stopped him. "Don't scratch them. If you scratch them, they will take effect. I made them to make it easier for you to stick them."
Old Larry was speechless. Were these really the runes in the legends?!
This, this, this … What was the difference between this and the stickers that little Lily and little Lodina found on the street?!!!
Xu Jun gently gave out two high-grade talismans, but he didn't feel any pain in his heart.
He found this rune box in the ruins of the eastern part of the Snow Blade Kingdom. After the birth of the Dark Demon King, he completely destroyed the place.
Originally, there were many luxurious and extravagant buildings there, such as the Light Monastery and the King's temporary imperial residence. There were also many treasures stored there. However, His Majesty the Dark Demon King didn't put these human treasures in his eyes. He used a very simple and crude method to crush the Radiant God Cult and the Snow Blade Kingdom: he smashed those beautiful buildings to pieces.
However, there was no Three Lights. _ (: 3,∠) _
Later on, no one dared to go there, and Xu Jun took advantage of the situation.
At that time, he was very happy that he could find so many good things, especially the box of magic runes left behind in the magic tower. He would not be able to use them all in his life!
However, it turned out that not only could he not use them all, but he also could not sell them. These magic runes were all high-level, and it was not suitable to sell them cheaply. The problem was that no one knew who made these runes, so no one was willing to buy them.
Why did you have to look at the brand to buy a rune?!
So in the end, these runes could only be used to … give away. _ (: 3,∠) _
Old Larry carefully looked at the Sacred Shield Rune. Tears flowed down his face. "This … this is … the true light!"
The old man used to be a devout believer of the Holy Light, but later on, his faith was destroyed. In his old age, he could finally bathe under the protection of the Holy Light.
After leaving the house of Old Larry, little Lodina and little Lily, Xu Jun smiled and asked Rance, "Is there a treasure in the mouse hole?"
So, Rance took out a small black thing from his pocket. "Dad, is this a treasure?"
'Xu Jun …' He solemnly took the rat poop (…) from Lance's hand, and spoke to the four-year-old frost dragon cub with an absolutely serious tone. "Good child. You've got an alchemical ingredient that could be used as medicine. I'm proud of you.
But this alchemy material is not something you can touch now. Never touch it in the future, understand?
For safety's sake, don't dig the mouse hole. "
When Rance heard that the treasure could be used as medicine and alchemy material, he immediately became happy. But since Xu Jun told him not to touch it, he would definitely listen. He immediately raised his dirty hand and swore, "I won't do it again!"
"Good boy!" Xu Jun grabbed Rance's hand and wiped it clean.
Question: As a hero, doesn't your conscience hurt when you lie to a child?
Answer: As a hero, not only does my conscience not hurt, I'm very happy (⊙ v ⊙)
For some reason, Steamed Bun and Jess had already walked from the door of the shed to the street entrance of the slums. The two of them were whispering with their heads close to each other.
Xu Jun thought that Jess's smile was very flirtatious and seemed a little malicious. Steamed Bun, on the other hand, was as innocent as a young boy who had never seen the world.
… Damn it, the next time I visit the Moonlight Foals, I have to tell Steamed Bun's parents and siblings about this unicorn man's actions!
Jess also saw that Rance was dirty and was very surprised. "Rance, did you just roll around in the mud?"
Rance shook his head and smiled happily. "Dad told me to play with Lodina and Lily. I played with toys made of mud in their house … It was really fun!
We even dug the mouse hole!
There's treasure inside!
Dad said so! "
Xu Jun didn't know what to say.
Jess looked at Xu Jun, and Xu Jun looked at Jess. The two of them … exchanged information about each other.
If the Frost Dragons found out about Rance, Xu Jun would be hunted down all over the world.
The three of them and Steamed Bun walked back to the Illuminati's church and walked through the city center to the trade district.
The most important thing now was to find a hotel to stay in, especially to give Rance a good bath. It wasn't easy to bathe in the wilderness, and they were all sticky.
Summer had just passed, and the residual heat was still there. The sky had been cloudy for a long time, and now that the sun had finally come out, there was still some moisture in the air.
Xu Jun felt that he couldn't stop. If he had something to do all the time, he wouldn't have noticed the discomfort. Now that he had stopped, he felt hungry and tired.
However, he didn't know if it was because the Black Plague had caused all the adventurers to run away. After searching for a long time, he couldn't even find a decent hotel or bar.
At this time, he missed Meituan very much. Xu Jun wanted to find a roadside stall to fill his stomach, and then take his friends to the public bathroom. But it was useless. Even the roadside stalls were gone.
According to the people on the roadside … it seemed that because someone said that the Black Plague was caused by unsanitary conditions, the roadside stalls were forced to be closed by the city management.
"Actually, I still have a lot of steak, vegetable soup, and toast in my backpack …" Before Xu Jun could finish his sentence, Jess stopped him.
"I've been eating for a few days. If I keep eating, I'm going to throw up."
He had a look of disdain on his face. He didn't think that as a fighter, Xu Jun knew how to cook, and he had been eating and drinking for free. He didn't have the right to say that.
Seeing that this was the fate of squatting by the roadside and eating dry food, a carriage came over from the opposite side of the road. A head popped out from inside, and it was Xu Jun's friend, Ska.
"There's no time to explain!
Senior Xu Jun!
Hurry up and get in the carriage with me!
Go to a banquet for me! "
He was so anxious that the tip of his nose was sweating, and his red ponytail looked like it was about to burn.
The author has something to say: Today, I told my friends about the plot, and I was very narcissistic. I feel that I'm much better than Demon King 1 in terms of plot!
~\ (≧ ▽ *)/~ The feeling of improvement is really great!
