Section 3012 Flowers
Angel: "Of course I am interested. But I don't plan to spend money now."
Lucia smiled: "I am in a good mood today, I can give you a discount. As long as you buy witch soup in Lucia's workshop, I will double your points, how about it?"
In other words, Angel only needs to spend 4999.5 magic crystals in Lucia's workshop to get a diamond card worth 9999 magic crystals.
At first glance, it seems that Angel has made money, but in fact, it is still Angel who spends money.
In addition, although the diamond card is good, after getting the diamond card, it is actually indirectly expanding the resource breadth and network of the trade fair, so for Starry Glory, giving the diamond card is a sure win. Especially giving the diamond card to "special talents", such as some alchemy masters, as long as they come to the Starry Glory Trade Fair, even if they do nothing, they can attract people who come to the famous place; if they go a step further and leak some alchemy works, it will not only bring reputation to the trade fair, but also expand more markets, which can be said to have many benefits.
Therefore, as long as the Stars of Glory confirm that a certain alchemist can pass the "camp identification field", they will not even ask the other party to spend money, and will directly present the diamond card with both hands.
If Angel really wants to get the diamond card for free, in fact, as long as he reveals his identity, Lucia will definitely rush to give it to Angel.
However, Angel is now hiding his identity, so Lucia will naturally not give it for free.
But Lucia is also very clear that handing the diamond card to a formal wizard, especially a formal wizard who knows alchemy technology, is definitely a sure win. So, she said that as long as Angel spends in the workshop, he can get double points.
"Your proposal sounds good, but I just said that I am also an alchemist in pharmacy. Most of the effects of witch soup can be replaced by potions. So, if you want me to spend in your workshop, unless there is a very rare and irreplaceable witch soup here." Angel did not say no, but just said the reality.
Just like witch soup is good at making spirit-restoring soup, but the reformists also have similar potions, such as the "Rhythm of No Rhythm" and "Song of No Rhyme" of the "No" series, which are all spirit-restoring potions... Of course, the price of the latter is definitely higher than that of witch soup, but in the absence of witch soup, it is not impossible to use potions as a substitute.
So, if you want to attract Angel to spend money in Lucia's workshop, unless there is really an extremely rare witch soup here, Angel really doesn't like it.
As for forcing consumption for the "Flash Diamond Card"? Angel is not stupid.
Lucia raised the corners of her soft lips without makeup: "I really have the rare witch soup you mentioned. The grass series and flower series of Lucia's workshop are all my original witch soups, which you can never buy anywhere else."
"Original? Your own formula?" Angel said with some surprise.
Lucia raised her eyebrows: "Of course, do you want to see it?"
Angel thought about it and nodded.
He actually has a good impression of witch soup. He rarely drinks potions, but he drinks a lot of witch soup... When he uses the secret soul whisper, in order to nourish the body, he always needs Celian witch soup. Now there is a corner in his bracelet with more than ten bowls of Celian witch soup stacked. If the shelf life of witch soup is generally shorter than that of potions, he would have more Celian witch soup than now.
For this reason, Angel himself thought that after the membership card was processed, he would visit the workshop.
Now that he heard Lucia say that there is an "original" witch soup, Angel is even more curious.
In the wizarding world, any "original" about extraordinary things is valuable. Of course, "original" that can become popular or is unique is extremely rare.
Most of the "original" is still small, such as the "water delivery" that Angel once created, and many small tricks that are not very useful but can also enrich the magic library.
However, even these small creations have their own unique features, and even the shining points in them can enlighten others. Just like the apprentice who created the 0-level magic trick "Frostfall" back then, how could he know that a wizard in the future would create the 1-level magic trick "Frostfall" through "Frostfall".
The gap between magic tricks and magic is a chasm.
It can be seen from this that as long as it is original, it cannot be underestimated.
Under Angel's expectant eyes, Lucia leaned forward slightly, let herself sit up, and then gently waved her sleeves, and four bowls covered with black cloth were placed on the silver eucalyptus table.
From Lucia's proud eyes, it can be guessed that these four bowls should contain her original masterpiece.
Angel looked carefully, and from the appearance, it was no different from the witch soup on the counter outside, all covered by black cloth.
However, the seals on these four bowls of witch soup were different from the witch soup displayed outside.
There are special patterns on the seal, which are three flowers and one grass.
And Angel remembered that the witch soup on the counter outside had a "tree" pattern on the seal.
"Is this the flower series and grass series?" Angel paused: "The one on the counter outside is the tree series?"
"Smart!" Lucia nodded: "The tree series is the non-original witch soup. Kalanling, Celian, Xikato, Windsor... This series of witch soups are all classified in the tree series by me."
"My original witch soup is the flower series and grass series."
Angel: "What's the difference between the flower series and the grass series?"
Lucia did not answer Angel's question, but directly introduced the four bowls of witch soup with "three flowers and one grass" in front of her.
"Lucia's Wild Witch Soup, the formula is kept secret. It is a witch soup with special effects. It should be taken in three weeks, one third every seven days. After drinking it all, the skin will be as smooth as porcelain. The maintenance time is 20 "Years." At this point, Lucia paused for a moment and continued in a low voice: "But there are a few small flaws. There will be some round spots like wildflowers on the skin, but don't worry, these spots won't happen. It is harmful to the body, it is just an external appearance, and it will only last for ten years. In other words, if you take this bowl of soup, your skin will be flawless for at least ten years.”
When Lucia talked about her shortcomings, she was still a little embarrassed, but the more she talked about it, the more excited she became. Especially when she said "flawless skin for ten years", her pride was beyond words.
After Angel listened carefully to Lucia's introduction, he said softly: "The negative effects are not strong, but I remember there is a kind of Clara Red Rose Witch Soup, which can eliminate spots, but it will make the skin wrinkle..."
This effect is exactly the opposite of Lucia's Wild Witch Soup.
"Ahem, you don't need this wild rose witch soup. Let's talk about the next one." Lucia interrupted Angel's words with a cough, and then quickly went into the instructions for the next bowl of witch soup.
Angel looked at Lucia with some confusion: Since you know I don't need it, why did you introduce me? Show off your skills?
"Lucia's floral witch soup is also a witch soup with auxiliary effects. Just drink it directly. Its effect is to wash away your scent from the inside out, including the scent tainted by fragrance. ”
This witch soup sounds like it is for witches to cleanse themselves of their own odor, but in fact, its function is to "purify" the influence of fragrance.
In the wizarding world, fragrance is not only a plaything to please oneself and others, it can even be used to kill people.
If some special fragrance enters your body, you may even die without realizing it.
Lucia's floral witch soup can wash away all the smells inside and outside the body, and naturally also contains the killer fragrance that invades the body.
Therefore, the effect of this witch soup is actually better than the literal introduction.
Angel also did not hesitate to praise: "This floral witch soup is pretty good. However, I remember that Shikato's exorcism witch soup has a similar effect, but it requires ritual and bathing to dispel the odor. What are you using it for?" Drinking it saves a lot of time.”
Lucia: "..."
Lucia ignored Angel's words and spoke expressionlessly about the third witch soup, which was also the last witch soup in the flower series.
"Lucia's Huaxin Witch Soup has the effect of opening up blockages and rebuilding energy circulation in the body..."
Angel: "This is not bad, but I remember that Aisha Toya has a witch soup that can use colloid and bone to build external circulation..."
Lucia: "...Stop talking."
Angel: "???"
Lucia looked at Angel angrily: "Aren't you a reformist pharmacist? How come you know so much about witch soup? How did you associate it with the exorcism witch soup? How did you know about Clara and Aisa Toya? You’re such an unpopular witch, don’t tell me, you even know the recipes for these decoctions!”
Angel sensed Lucia's slightly crazy mood and slowly said: "So, these witch soups of yours are not completely original, but an improvement, right?"
They all seem to be special, but anyone who knows a little bit about witch soups will know that these witch soups are actually an improvement. Use the existing witch soup to make new preparations. The effect produced is new, but the connection with the original soup cannot be severed.
"Are you going to report me again?" Lucia stared at Angel with suspicious eyes.
Angel shrugged: "I didn't say I wanted to report it, just a little reminder."
Improvement, not bad. Rather, the Gypsy faction is a more traditional faction within the Alchemy School, and they are very stubborn on certain issues.
For example, only if it is original can it be named.
If you want to improve it, you can still only use the name of the original creator to title it.
The so-called 'Lucia's Floral Witch Soup', if it is just an improvement, can only be named: 'Shikato's Floral Witch Soup' or 'Shikato's Exorcist Witch Soup. Modified'.
The issue of naming does not matter in other schools. But within the Witch Soup sect, it is also an established rule.
Angel pointed out these things simply to remind Lucia that not everyone is as careless as him.
Lucia whispered in a low voice: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have pretended in front of you."
Show off a little bit, and you'll end up meeting someone who knows the stuff. You are obviously a reformist, how come you know so much about witch soup?
Angel pretended not to hear Lucia's muttering and continued: "But then again, the effects of these decoctions are actually very good. The improvements have also been improved, which is good."
There are few improvements to witch soup because many witches prefer to name it themselves. This leads to the fact that many witch soups actually have room for improvement, but very few people make improvements.
Lucia... Oh no, it's Lucia. Although she is a man and has many schools to choose from, she doesn't shy away from suspicion at all and comes to learn the most traditional and difficult witch soup. For this reason, she breaks through traditional thinking. This also makes his mind not constrain himself to a naming right at all.
His improvement is actually very good.
Anyway, Angel thinks it's very good.
The only shortcoming is that he pretends to be the wrong person.
"Okay, I admit that the flower series did borrow some witch soup, but don't keep talking about improvement. I also have original works." Lucia pointed to the last bowl of witch soup: "This witch soup of the grass series is my original work. It didn't borrow from any witch soup, and the recipe is also matched by myself."
Angel looked in the direction of Lucia's finger.
"This is Lucia's Grass No. 1 Witch Soup."
Lucia once again showed a familiar look of pride. Before introducing the witch soup, she first talked about how hard and difficult it was to create this witch soup, how many setbacks she had experienced, and finally the clouds cleared and the moon appeared...
Angel was not bothered by Lucia's "mental journey". After all, Angel had already shown his own knowledge. It was obviously impossible for Lucia to continue to pretend to be "original" with "improvement" in front of him; and since she dared to talk big and clearly said that the grass soup was original, Angel naturally believed her.
Moreover, from the emotions he sensed from Lucia, Angel was also sure that what she said about originality should be true.
Since it was truly original, her mental journey was worth listening to.
Although Angel knew that the reason why Lucia said this was to pave the way and to show off in front of the "knowledgeable alchemist"... but the same sentence, originality is worth it.
Angel listened to the heart journey for most of the day, but he didn't hear the real secret... This is normal.
But he heard an interesting news.
Lucia's classification principle: tree series, flower series, and grass series.
The witch soup genre is the earth.
Named after the tree, it is a kind of admiration.
Named after the flower, it is a tribute.
Named after the grass, it is a vision.
Putting aside the first two, the reason why Lucia used the "grass series" to represent her original soup is because she hopes that her original potion will grow densely and endlessly on the earth like grass.
This is a vision and an ambition.
