Chapter 2815: Angel Elixir

~9 min read 1,788 words

For the local citizens, this was just an ordinary Wednesday, so when Father Priest Ao Gu Si, who was talking to familiar believers in the prayer hall of the Dawn Church, saw Xia De coming, he was really startled:

"Did something happen?"

He pulled Xia De and walked quickly to a remote corner of the church corridor. Xia De's umbrella was placed in the umbrella stand at the door of the church:

"Father, nothing happened... Why do you all think like this when you see me appear?"

Father Priest Ao Gu Si patted his chest:

"It's good that nothing happened. Now, except for me, the five people in the group have all gone to Vista Forest. You suddenly came to find me again, of course I wouldn't have any good thoughts. Detective, what exactly happened? Your expression when you entered the door just now was not good at all."

Xia De touched Little Mia. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that after he came back from opening the key, he had forgotten Ajelina.

But he couldn't go back now, so he asked:

"Father, I just went to Huntington to see that lady, and she told me some topics about time. I know you also have memory fragments about the ancient times, so what do you think about the World Tree?"

The Father was surprised:

"What do I think? I naturally treat it as a story. Although I do know some ancient things, I was really just born in the last century. Detective, I don't know about such ancient things."

"I mean, what do you think about the sentence 'the world needs a World Tree'?"

The old Father was stunned, his eyes blinked as if he suddenly remembered something, and then he laughed:

"So you wanted to ask this. There is birth and death, but there is also birth in death. The seeds fall and turn into saplings, and the saplings grow into trees in the wind of time. Big trees will eventually fall one day, but new saplings will definitely grow in the corpses of big trees.

Life and death are like this. Mortals are destined to die, but new hope will also be born in death."

"Father, please don't tell me riddles, you are not a diviner. But you mean, the Chosen One of time will really become the next tree?"

"What? Did I say this?"

The Father asked suspiciously, suspecting that Xia De didn't listen to what he said at all:

"You say this, I can understand what you are worried about. When you dealt with that dead apostle last time, you told me that you suspected that the elf who came to us for off-campus practice in the summer was the eighth one, so you are worried about her becoming a tree, right?"

The complex experience of Rat Priest Ao Gu Si in his life allowed him to fully understand the anxiety of these young people. The old Father put his hand on Xia De's shoulder, of course on the side without the cat:

"Detective, let me advise you. You don't need to worry about this, or rather, you don't need to worry too much."

"Why?"

"I originally thought your understanding of Ancient Gods was far beyond mine, why don't you even understand this truth? Up to now, when have you seen Ancient Gods bestow destined fate upon mortals? The departed Great Ones, although they care about this world, never limit who must do what, like a script arrangement."

"Even if it is the great prophecy of the Murmuring Poem, aren't there many candidates and many possibilities? If everything is destined, then your efforts all along would become a joke, wouldn't they?"

Xia De felt enlightened in his heart:

"If everything is destined, then Luweiya wouldn't have experienced so many different Sixth Eras, and there wouldn't be my appearance."

His originally anxious mood gradually calmed down. Seeing Xia De show a smile, the Father also laughed, thinking that his ability to persuade people hadn't declined yet, and he comforted him again:

"Even if the big tree is destined to sprout again, there will definitely be an opportunity for you to make a choice."

"The lady in Huntington City also said that I should think about how to choose at the end."

Xia De said again, and the Father nodded understandingly:

"So the journey is not a one-way street. Since you have already expected the worst result, you should find a way to avoid it.

Don't worry about this problem now. If you don't want her to become a tree, you must at least tell her so that she knows how to choose when facing a choice. There is still a chance before everything happens, and besides, everything is just a guess, isn't it?"

After solving the knot in his heart, Father Priest Ao Gu Si seemed to have become better at persuading others than before. Seeing Xia De show a smile, he also laughed:

"Winter is coming soon. Although the church's work is still a bit busy, I can also take a leave for a while. Detective, if you need me to help, don't forget to call me. Also, the doctor... I feel relieved to see you looking at him, but he is still too risky to do that."

He sighed, and let Xia De follow him to temporarily leave the church and go to his potion workshop in the basement. Now Father Priest Ao Gu Si can stably produce "No. 3 Holy Water" slurry, and is currently challenging "No. 2 Holy Water."

If No. 3 Holy Water corresponds to Secret Keeper-level relics, then No. 2 is Sage-level relics, which is a qualitative change, so the Father hasn't succeeded yet. But after Xia De brought the "Bone Eyeball" from the dead apostle, the Father had other gains:

"Take these away, they will definitely be useful to you."

What Father Priest Ao Gu Si provided this time were a total of ten test tubes in a small suitcase. All glass test tubes had the emblem of the Death Angel on the surface, and nine of them contained light golden liquid, while the last one contained liquid gold-like liquid.

Pale gold and bright gold were both very pleasing to the eye, and the liquid surface of the potion seemed to have droplets splashing, and they looked extraordinary:

"I can stably provide such potions in the future, but the production speed is definitely not as fast as holy water—Angel Elixir, it only has one effect, to recover spirit."

The Father looked quite proud, but he also had reason to be proud:

"Spirit is not just energy, but a mixture of energy, information, rules, thoughts, and various other things. Therefore, there is currently no ordinary potion that can recover a large amount of spirit. But Detective, answer me a question, what else is also a mixture of energy, information, rules, etc.?"

Xia De stopped Little Mia who wanted to sniff the test tube:

"Soul... Wait, Father, you wouldn't have used souls to refine medicine, would you?"

After saying this, he shook his head immediately:

"No, you definitely wouldn't."

"Of course not, but I can now capture the traces and echoes of soul residues, and use this to make these Angel Elixirs. These pale golden potions, one bottle is enough to recover most of the spirit of any middle-ring sorcerer. Of course, this refers to ordinary ring sorcerers, you are definitely not included. Even if a high-ring sorcerer drinks one bottle, it can recover quite a bit."

"As for that bottle of bright golden Angel Elixir, this is an uncopyable perfect potion made by accident. Combined with the pink essence you showed me, it is even enough to support you in exerting most of the power of a maze. Yes, I mean your maze."

Xia De then picked up that bottle of bright golden elixir. Abundant spirit and elements affected the surrounding environment as he shook it. Even though he had seen other incredible potions made by Father Priest Ao Gu Si, this kind of potion still surprised him.

This batch of ten "Angel Elixirs" was all the Father's current stock. Later, as his proficiency improved, the shipping speed would definitely improve. It's just a pity that this special elixir, like the Father's handicraft of making "Holy Water," can only be used by himself, otherwise the Father might soon become richer than Xia De.

But the good news is that the production cost of these "Angel Elixirs" is not high. After all, the most important "soul residue and echo" only requires the Father to soothe the lingering souls to collect. So the Father's pricing for these potions is on par with No. 3 Holy Water.

In other words, from now on, "Holy Water" for treating injuries and removing curses and "Angel Elixir" for recovering spirit have become commodities that can be shipped in large quantities on the Father's product list. The limitation that elixir can only take effect once in a short time makes it temporarily unable to become a strategic material, but as Xia De brings more bones and the Father further masters the power of the Death Angel, Xia De feels that he will sooner or later be able to make a potion that recovers all spirit.

The Father didn't charge Xia De for this batch of potions, but he hoped that Xia De could let ring sorcerers of different levels drink them and bring back feedback, which would also facilitate him to continue to adjust the medicinal properties and improve the formula in the future.

Probably because the remains Xia De brought back this time were "eyeballs," there were a few more alchemy items related to eyes on the Father's product list. He even claimed that he had now mastered the medical technology of "transforming ordinary people's eyes into eyes that can see souls," but the side effects of this technology were too great. After all, if you see ghosts, ghosts will also notice you.

Because he was still thinking about Ajelina, Xia De declined the Father's invitation to stay for lunch.

However, before leaving, he followed his previous promise to himself and gave the Father the part of the treasure of the Hoy

He suddenly hugged Lei Qianya tightly, but didn't say a word. So this time it was Lei Qianya's turn to be surprised, but she didn't ask the reason for Xia De's appearance, but instead smiled and lightly patted his back:

"My Knight, don't you feel it's a bit too hot now? Please serve me in changing my dress."

(Little Mia is running...)

That night, Xia De slept in the Accordion Hotel, in the room right next to Miss Danister's.
