Chapter 813

Su Xiao sat in front of the experimental table, with dozens of test tubes and various experimental utensils placed in front of him.

*Gurgle~*

A stream of bubbles surged from the liquid in the beaker. After adding at least dozens of materials into the beaker, light flashed in Su Xiao's hands.

*Crack! *

Cracks appeared on the beaker, and the black-green liquid in the cup began to become viscous, just like a cup of asphalt.

"Failed?"

Caesar's eyes widened, his cheeks trembling. It was no wonder he was like this; the materials Su Xiao used were too expensive.

Su Xiao ignored Caesar, just focusing his attention on the beaker in front of him.

He held the beaker with both hands, his mana consuming rapidly. The mana converted by alchemy was the best catalyst.

*Gurgle... *

The liquid in the beaker began to boil. The originally asphalt-like viscous liquid began to dilute, and the color changed from black-green to light red.

The light in Su Xiao's hands disappeared. Manufacturing this unstable potion consumed 900 points of his mana + many precious materials.

Su Xiao carefully picked up the beaker, poured the light red liquid into a crystal test tube, and sealed it with a wooden stopper.

"Succeeded? Can this thing help Carlos clear the unknown energy?"

Caesar's eyes were glowing green, wanting to snatch the unstable potion in Su Xiao's hand at any time.

Introduction: Only warriors dare to try it. Warrior, cheers!

Undoubtedly, the effect of this "recovery potion" Su Xiao manufactured was very strong, recovering 160–230 points of Health every second. If Su Xiao entered the near-death state, his Health could be fully recovered in at most 10 seconds. Moreover, after drinking this kind of potion, the recovery effect could last for 1 hour.

The effect was indeed powerful, and the side effects were equally astonishing, permanently reducing Strength and Stamina attributes, and Health and Mana would also be reduced. What was even more pit-like was the permanent abnormal state triggered: mental trauma, paralysis, loss of taste, etc., each of which was a very serious consequence.

The value of this potion in battle was very low. At least Su Xiao wouldn't drink this thing. He didn't consider the side effects at all when preparing this potion, just pursuing the recovery effect.

"Take it."

Su Xiao handed the 【Unstable Potion】 to Caesar. Caesar hurriedly took it and pulled out the wooden stopper at the bottle mouth to smell it.

A pungent, fishy-sweet smell rushed into Caesar's nasal cavity. Caesar froze in place, having a tendency to roll his eyes.

Clearly, Caesar's Stamina was below 70 points. It was doubtful whether this guy even had 30 points of Stamina.

More than ten seconds later, Caesar, who was smoked until he was muddled, recovered.

"This thing... is poison, right? You want to... poison Carlos to death!?"

Caesar swallowed his saliva. He smelled the smell of a conspiracy.

"Is your brain smoked muddled? If Carlos dies, you might all die in the Black Earth Fortress. This thing is to ensure Carlos doesn't die."

The reason Su Xiao consumed a large amount of mana to prepare this kind of potion was because he noticed a sentence in the mission information: "The unknown energy in Carlos's body has formed a low-level symbiosis with Carlos."

"Contact Legion Commander Carlos. Whether he drinks this thing or not is for him to consider. I am very busy now, and there are several other potions that need to be prepared afterward. These are the materials needed for preparation."

Su Xiao handed Caesar a list.

"Water-attribute + life-attribute herbal plants, seven kinds of materials with the third transmutation array characteristic..."

Caesar's face became uglier and uglier. These materials were too rare, and the price was abnormally expensive.

"Sun wreckage? Fire gold? Small piece of Soul Crystal?"

Caesar found something wrong.

"What do you want these three things for? This seems to be materials for making bombs..."

Caesar was not stupid. However, his alchemy level was too low. Su Xiao stopped preparing and looked sideways at Caesar.

"Sun wreckage is a high-concentration flame-attribute material. The energy in Carlos's body is dark-attribute. Fire gold is for emergencies. Once the dark-attribute energy in Carlos's body erupts, injecting fire gold solution into Carlos's body in moderation can slow down his death speed. According to the energy pulsation law in the seventeenth formula..."

Su Xiao said a lot of extremely professional alchemy terms to Caesar. Caesar listened in a daze. His clumsy alchemy could only hear a small part.

"Understand?"

Su Xiao continued to prepare the potion after speaking. Caesar first shook his head, then nodded. Although he didn't understand, he felt that what Su Xiao said seemed to make sense.

Actually, Su Xiao was talking nonsense. Sun wreckage + fire gold + small piece of Soul Crystal (Soul Crystal Small) + 500 points of mana = Sun God Apollo.

Caesar went to contact Carlos and collect materials, while Su Xiao continued to prepare alchemy potions. Actually, except for that bottle of 【Unstable Potion】, other potions were just covers.

Two hours later, Caesar, carrying large and small bags, returned, followed by Carlos wearing an Imperial military uniform. Carlos didn't wear armor all day long. When not at war, he generally wore an Imperial military uniform.

Carlos wore a crisp military uniform, with a small beard on his chin and a faint bloody aura on his body. This was definitely a handsome middle-aged uncle. It was no problem to fascinate thousands of girls in the Empire. It was no wonder the Dark Elf Princess took a fancy to him.

Behind Carlos, a woman wearing a black long dress, who seemed to be able to blend into the darkness at any time, was standing outside the door.

This woman, except when looking at Carlos with eyes full of love, the first thing she looked at others was vital spots such as the throat, heart, etc.

Sensing the aura of this woman, Su Xiao could judge that this was an assassin who often hid in the darkness.

This woman was the Dark Elf Princess, named Anna, Carlos's lover. Although the relationship between the two was not recognized by the Dark Elf race, the reason was that after the combination of Dark Elves and humans, the offspring had mediocre talent, and even lost the ability to be invisible.

"Caesar, who is he?"

The Dark Elf Princess rushed to Caesar in a few steps, and a black dagger slid out from her sleeve, holding it against Caesar's throat. The sharp edge of the dagger even cut Caesar's skin, ready to slit Caesar's throat at any time.

"An-an-an, Anna Miss Princess, he he he, he is the assistant I found."

Caesar was so scared he stuttered, and spoke incoherently. Heaven knows what kind of ghost address "Anna Miss Princess" was—whether it was "Miss" or "Princess," making Anna seem like she was working in a nightclub.

"Anna."

Carlos's hand rested on Anna's shoulder. Anna sneered and let go of Caesar.
