The original kitchen is now empty. Most of the kitchen utensils have been taken away by the original owner, Mr. Porter.

The current kitchen only has a wide high platform and large and small formations.

Ah Hao has just "decorated" it, and it will become his [workshop] in the future.

A circular high platform protrudes from the ground, and a large formation formation is drawn on it.

The flickering candlelight shines on the complex lines of the forging array, illuminating the mysterious smell like an altar.

Seems a little too dark?

Ah Hao muttered secretly and turned on all the lights in the front hall and back kitchen of the store.

The bright white light shone instantly, and the mysterious atmosphere of the entire room disappeared.

The bottles and jars on the cooking table beside the wall were exposed, and the mysterious altar suddenly turned into a rigorous laboratory.

Ah Hao took out a large bottle of Illya Rose Essential Oil from his bag. It had been placed in Ah Hao's bedroom for some time since Illya refined it on the day he advanced.

Ah Hao had not touched him before, firstly because he was too busy with trivial matters and lacked energy. Secondly, because he was short of funds and he really didn’t have any extra money to try out new perfumes.

Now, he has a little money and nothing particularly urgent.

Today this bottle of essential oil finally has a chance to stand up and sing.

Ahao took out a little of the Ilia rose essential oil from the bottle and poured it into the glass beaker placed on the table.

In addition to the most important rose essential oil, it also contains some auxiliary ingredients such as clove wood, vanilla, and green leaves.

The spice clove has a sharp and spicy flavor.

Ilia Rose is also full of wild thorny rose scent.

He felt that the two ingredients had something in common, and when combined together, they would definitely have an unexpected taste.

The glimmer of light came on, and Experiment No. 1 of the rose-flavored perfume appeared on the right side of the formation.

He took the test tube containing the perfume and smelled it carefully. The smells of lilac and rose were contradictory and conflicting.

The two flavors did not blend together, but seemed too sharp and divisive.

To put it bluntly, it doesn't smell good.

The smell is a bit pungent.

He wrinkled his nose and took away the test tube.

After refining it many times, he experimented with a spice that could blend the two flavors: honey.

The rich and delicate honey flavor perfectly blends the flavors of rose and clove.

Smelling the No. 9 test product in his hand, he nodded with satisfaction. The base of the perfume had been completed.

Now if this bottle of perfume is sold directly, it will probably get good reviews.

After all, the smell... is quite excellent.

But it's not enough. He wants to add more!

Add more excitement!

He showed a mysterious smile and walked to the corner of the studio.

There is a bronze juicer right now.

He stuffed small pieces of guaiac wood into the juicer.

This kind of wood has a rich vanilla and creamy soft woody aroma, making it an excellent incense material.

It's just that it's a bit hard, and the blade will easily curl if you use an ax to chop it. It's better to use a juicer.

After all, it’s normal to use a juicer to squeeze wood or something, right?

He directly pressed the red gear button.

On the copper pipe protruding from the back of the juicer, he closed his eyes and meditated. He recalled the moment when Illya named "Rose".

The juicer started running with difficulty. It was a little jerky and slow at first, but then it became faster and smoother.

Ahao narrowed his eyes and saw that the guaiac wood was easily crushed and decomposed in the transparent box above.

It is not decomposition on a purely physical level. It is very similar to the concept of "decomposition" on an alchemical level.

There is indeed something wrong with this juicer!

His desire to take apart the juicer and take a look became unprecedentedly high.

However, he gave up this idea for the time being. He planned to stock up on more crystallized materials first. Only then would he have the confidence to dismantle it.

He had two guesses about the origin of this juicer. Either it was a machine left behind by ancient alchemists, or it was a creation of modern arcanists imitating alchemy.

The juicer stopped rumbling, and he shook his head, temporarily putting the thought behind him.

He took out a bunch of amber crystals from the machine.

It contains a strong floral fragrance in the woody fragrance, as if there are thousands of roses contained here.

Ah Hao tasted it carefully before putting the crystals and other raw materials into the refining array.

At this point, his preparations were completed.

Although it was already very late at night, there was a trace of sleepiness in his body.

But his spirit is still quite high, and he wants to persist in completing the experiment No. 10.

The power of the circle flows along his palm and flows through the formation. All kinds of raw materials turn into white light, blending and intertwining in the formation.

A faintly wonderful smell overflowed from the array.

The moment he smelled this fragrance, Ahao suddenly felt that the door of truth moved.

The four big characters shined brightly on the door.

"Is it true?"

Ahao muttered those four words.

The earthy yellow aura floating around the door suddenly stopped and spread out from around his body in an incredible way.

They also joined the intertwined white light party in the formation.

The white light and the yellow air blended together, making Ah Hao unable to open his eyes.

He suddenly smelled the fragrance of roses.

He opened his eyes again and found countless pink rose petals in front of him, falling like rain.

In the gentle scene, a sharp green thorn suddenly stuck out.

Ah Hao was startled and quickly avoided it. Then he discovered that the thorn was not specifically meant to pierce him.

Numerous thorns pierced out from all directions, coiling together like snakes.

They were coiled into a giant ball, and the rich green smell of green plants exuded.

But this entanglement did not last long. The thorns gradually faded away, revealing the wooden throne underneath. The throne exuded a warm creamy aroma.

It's the smell of guaiac wood.

Sitting on the throne was a magical creature. She looked like a tall woman, with an extremely attractive S-shaped body proportions.

However, she is not a human being, her limbs are actually entangled thorns, and her hair is actually a long piece of rose.

She was closing her eyes, supporting her head with one hand, and leaning on the armrest next to the throne.

This posture does not look charming on her, but has a cold quality.

The deep and sharp fragrance of roses continuously exudes from her body.

Under Ahao's gaze, she suddenly opened her eyes.

The golden amber pupils shine like gold under the firelight.

As she opened her eyes, pink flowers gradually bloomed on her thorny body.

Looking into her eyes, Ahao suddenly had a realization in his heart:

——She is the queen of roses.

She curled her fingers at Ahao.

Thousands of roses bloomed all the way, and a flower path paved directly from her throne to Ahao.

Surrounded by the flower road, Ahao felt that his whole body and mind were healed.

The fatigue from a hard day's work has disappeared.

"Ah~ so comfortable."

A comfortable feeling of warmth welled up from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but close his eyes to experience it carefully.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the bright studio.

Everything is like an illusion.
