Chapter 98 Herbal Alchemist(1/2)
Early morning six days later.
Dim's carriage broke through the mist, walked down a winding mountain road, merged into a spacious and flat road, followed the passing caravans, and drove towards the top of the castle on the horizon.
Xia Zuo turned over and sat up in the car, habitually found a toothbrush and mouthwash from his pocket, and prepared to sit in the driver's seat to brush his teeth and wash his face.
Faint shouts, mixed with the rumble of several carriages, entered the carriage.
He opened the window panel and took a look, and found that there were many carriages in front, left and right, and the walls of Starlight City rose on the horizon not far away.
Xia Zuo took back the things in his hands and patted the big guy on the driver's seat, "Dim, we're almost there."
Dim opened his eyes, stretched out comfortably, scratched his thick beard and said:
"Ah~~Yes, we're almost there. Let's find a hotel to stay in, take care of ourselves, and then go find the three researchers."
Dim took out his water bag and took a sip, then turned around and said, "By the way, you can put on your coat of arms later. Those people value qualifications the most."
"Okay." Xia Zuo nodded, wiped a few words on his face casually, sat in the driver's seat and looked at the passers-by.
Xia Zuo thought for a while, then took out his headgear and shoe covers and put them on, then walked to the desk and sat down.
There are 14 alchemy diaries on the table, each corresponding to one year of alchemy records.
"Good morning, Ms. Willy." Xia Zuo said with a smile, sighing inwardly that the coat of arms was so powerful that he could make the other party feel so favorably without even using greeting etiquette skills.
He gained a lot of knowledge about herbal alchemy.
"Julia, I looked through the 14 alchemy diaries on the desk." Xia Zuo shook the notepad in his hand, "There are some matters that need to be checked in the warehouse."
He stopped for a while in front of several other display cabinets to record the inventory of strange materials.
The main body of the petals is white, with filamentous bright red patterns distributed on the petals, and the stamen is like a drop of red blood.
These geckos have a small flower on their tail.
When the gecko's tail falls off, the flowers fall to the bottom of the display cabinet. After about a minute or two, the gecko's new tail sprouts from the end of the body, and a tiny flower bud is attached to the new tail.
There are suction cups on the gecko's paws, which can be seen through the glass. There are bright red blood sinuses on the suction cups, which shows that the gecko is still very vital after being repeatedly drained of blood.
Julia chuckled and said, "Just call me Julia."
Moreover, its growth cycle is relatively short, and it can take up to three months to unfold the flower buds - which coincides with the cycle of the gecko growing a new tail after its tail is cut off. The gecko has become the most suitable carrier for cultivating the blood-sucking magic flower.
Dim raised his chin towards the door of the back hall, "I am Dim, and I have made an appointment with Ms. Julia Willie soon. This is my assistant next to me."
On the wall beside the desk in the alchemy room, there is a metal door with only a handle and no keyhole.
Xia Zuo spent some time writing down the current situation in the display cabinet, and then asked Julia for some feed and samples of the blood-sucking magic flower.
A medium-sized culture tank is used to cultivate aquatic herbs. Blue aquatic plants flow slowly in the water.
Dim took out a carrot from his pocket and brought it to the packhorse's mouth, "It's called Carrot, and it likes to eat carrots. Most of the space in my alchemy bag is used to hold its rations."
"Dim, there is no problem with Julia Wiley for the time being. Her schedule is very regular and has not changed significantly in the past 14 years. In her alchemy diary, there are records of the acquisition, replenishment, and delivery of raw materials and products, as well as
Only after checking with two other researchers can we know whether it is true."
On the soft brown carpet, there are glass culture tanks of different sizes.
"Okay, let's go in." Dim waved and took Xia Zuo to the back door of the hotel.
He looked at Xia Zuo, as if he was explaining to the other party what Julia had said before, "I am used to ranking the least suspicious people at the top. So, Xia Zuo, you go to the alchemy room first. Zhu and I
Leah, let’s chat for a while.”
Xia Zuo started reading the diary with the latest date. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., he finally finished reading 14 notebooks.
This spherical culture tank is a classic example of cross-collaboration between two alchemies.
Xia Zuo came to his room and rushed into the bathroom to take a shower.
Julia stretched out her right hand and shook it lightly with Dim, then looked at the assistant beside him. Her eyes fell on the coat of arms on the assistant's chest, and there was a faint admiration flowing in her eyes.
Many of the raw materials that Julia was responsible for transporting needed to be refined in this alchemy room before being handed over to the biological alchemists in the same city.
Xia Zuo walked around the pack horse. Under the ordinary brown fur, there was extremely strong energy and physical strength. "You are awesome. Do you have a name?"
"In the Herbal Alchemist Association, expert-level members and above will wear special hats. Male members wear rattan hats woven with rattan, and female members wear vine headbands around their hair like Julia. This is not simple.
Decoration, it requires careful care every day to maintain its vibrant green color."
The two found the bartender who was wiping the wine glasses and asked for two quiet rooms.
Xia Zuo opened the notepad, compared the records on the page, and observed these flowers named [Blood-Draining Demonic Flowers].
Dim waited for the two to finish introducing each other and said, "Julia, you know my temper."
The two of them passed through the crowds and walked on the streets of the market area. Dim's tall body saved a lot of effort, and passers-by on both sides consciously gave way to the road.
Xia Zuo packed up his notepad and pen, "Speaking of which, Dim, why do you think Julia is the least suspicious?"
Xia Zuo followed Dim through a corridor and came to a glass greenhouse.
The first thing after entering the iron gate, Xia Zuo took out a pair of white gloves and put them on. To put it bluntly, if his alchemy room was to be inspected by an outsider, he would hope that the other party would wear gloves to avoid damaging the alchemy room.
dirty.
Dim paused, scratched his beard, and added:
The female drugstore clerk put down the rag in her hand, wiped the water on her hands on her apron, and greeted the customer, "Welcome~, what do you two need?"
The rest of the content in the alchemy diary has nothing to do with this investigation, but Xia Zuo still wrote down a summary of the more important events to prepare for future review.
Xia Zuo, who had changed his shoe covers and walked in, couldn't help but tremble.
Xia Zuo was at the table and calculated Julia's itinerary in the past two years, put down the pen in his hand and said:
The larger culture tank is more than five meters high and is divided into three layers from top to bottom. There is a green plant behind the glass plate on each layer.
Julia put her hand on the door panel.
The blood-sucking flower in front of me can only survive on animals.
"Dingling bell~" The hanging bell hanging on the door of the store made a crisp sound.
At the same time, we also have a clearer understanding of bioalchemy.
The seeds of the Blood-Draining Demon Flower, the gecko's feed, are provided by herbal alchemy.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, the sunset light outside the window became dim, and night was about to fall.
"Click." The metal door unlocked, and Julia pushed the door inwards.
Xia Zuo took out his notepad and pen from his pocket and wrote down the information that intersected with bioalchemy.
Xia Zuo understood, took out the emblem of an expert poison alchemist and put it on his body.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The female clerk nodded and walked quickly into the back hall. A minute later, she returned to the front hall and invited Dim and Diem in.
The carriage drove through the moat, was inspected by the guards, then turned two corners in the market area and stopped in the backyard of a hotel.
"Okay, Julia." Xia Zuo took the key, said goodbye to the two of them, and walked to the iron door. Julia and Julia walked to the low table in the corner of the glass room.
The gecko that cultivates the magic flower is provided by bioalchemy.
Without exception, they have all been transformed through bioalchemy and have adapted to the existence of the blood-sucking demon flower.
At about 8 o'clock in the evening, Xia Zuo and Dim said goodbye to Julia, left the pharmacy and walked to the hotel.
Julia stretched out her right hand again, shaking her wrist up and down while shaking it lightly with Xia Zuo, "If you want to check my alchemy diary and alchemy room, just tell me."
The blood-draining magic flower, which is full of gecko blood, must be handed over to bio-alchemy.
"Okay, come with me." Julia saw the other person's gloves and hood, and immediately felt good about him, and walked towards the iron gate with a smile on her face.
"Dim, I'm relieved that you came to me first instead of anyone else."
At the end of the glass greenhouse is an iron door. At this time, the door is open, and an elegant lady wearing a light green robe walks in with a heartfelt smile on her face and a green vine headband on her head.
Follow the body and fly.
Dim stepped out of the carriage and patted the packhorse's neck, "Old man, wait for me here. I'll come and brush your hair after I've settled in."
Here transparent baffles divide different areas, daisies, purple wisteria, white camellia, bermudagrass, pink alfalfa... all kinds of herbs and flowers can be seen everywhere. Elemental servants are operating showers, shovels and fertilizer bags, looking after flower pots and
Plants in wooden trough.
This warehouse is more like an art exhibition hall than a warehouse.
Julia took out a bunch of keys from her pocket and handed them to the young poison alchemist, "Please do so, Xia Zuo. The alchemy diary is on my desk, and you can check everything in the alchemy room. If you want to check
The warehouse of strange materials requires me to unlock the magic circle, so remember to come to me when the time comes."
In front of a pharmacy, Dim stopped and pointed to Xia Zuo's chest.
Xia Zuo stood up, moved his sore wrists, twisted his stiff shoulders, took off his shoe covers, pushed open the iron door of the alchemy room, and found the two people who had been waiting in the glass room for a long time.
Dim was eating carrots, making a circle on the top of his head with his other hand, and said:
Julia's alchemy room is very neat and clean, with a faint fragrance of flowers and plants, log-colored bookshelves, desks, off-white wooden floors, and wisteria dotted with white flowers in the hanging basket by the window. The sun is shining brightly outside the window, and the room
The interior is warm and relaxing, much better than the poison alchemy room.
The smallest culture tank is also the height of an adult, in which walking magic grass is grown individually.
