Chapter 178: Learning Never Stops

He wanted to return the key to the laboratory, but Bell stopped him.

"The two old sorcerers are old and tired. They must have gone to bed by now. Anyway, you have to go to the laboratory later. Keep the key for yourself."

Dick naturally had no objection. After saying goodbye to Bell, he returned to the Lynx Sect Fortress.

It was late at night and the fortress was silent.

He was also very tired, so he went back to his room and fell asleep slowly.

The next morning, after dinner, Dick went directly to the main fortress.

He was thinking about going to the library to study first, and after his brain was tired, he would fight with his brothers from the Grizzly School, which was a combination of work and rest.

Otherwise, if he went to the competition first, he might not be able to concentrate on studying alchemy because of the pain in his body.

After saying hello to several sorcerers in the main fortress hall, he went directly to the library on the top floor. There was still no one else here except him.

After entering the library, he went directly to the alchemy area.

From left to right, the first book on the far left is about the theory of various plant medicinal properties.

Dick took a quick look and knew that many things in it were useless to him. Then he carefully searched around and finally found what he wanted to find - the production of magic potions and sword oil for demon hunters.

After flipping through it for a while, Dick put the book down and found that the content was almost exactly the same as what Professor Xia taught before, and even Xia taught more details:

It seems that if you want to improve the level of magic potions and sword oil, you can only rely on more practice in the laboratory.

Then Dick flipped through the book next to it - "Making Magic Bombs". The theory in it was from shallow to deep, and various magic bombs were introduced in categories, and there were even bomb methods that Dick had never heard of.

However, Dick basically put all his energy on the most common bomb method - honeycomb bombs.

He watched it repeatedly several times, memorized the production process and corresponding formula of honeycomb bombs, and then left the library with satisfaction, locked the door and went downstairs.

He knocked on the door of the laboratory, but no one responded.

He knocked again, and it was still the same.

Dick pushed the door open and looked around.

The laboratory was very large, with several tables and chairs, various experimental instruments on the iron tables, and several closed compartments against the walls.

On a recliner next to a table in the middle, an old man was sitting there with his head down and taking a nap. ——It was the leading warlock of the Coyote School, Odd.

Dick actually had a good impression of Odd. Before, this old man had said a few words to his cheap master Master, and helped him to make the Dragon Tears potion.

He walked to Odd again and gently touched his shoulder with his hand.

Odd jumped up from the recliner as if he was electrocuted, his eyes widened, his hands waved in the air, and he shouted:

"Oh no! A monster is coming!"

After seeing that it was Dick, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief,

"Oh my, it turned out to be you, you want to scare me to death!"

As he said that, he touched the saliva that flowed from the corner of his mouth due to too sweet sleep, wiped it casually with his sleeve, and picked out the dry eye mucus from the corner of his eyes, grinning:

"Tell me, what are you doing here to find an old man like me?"

"Practice." Dick laughed, "I have finished reading some alchemy knowledge that is useful to me, and now all that's left is practice."

"Practice, practice. Hehe, all skills must be practiced diligently, just like my practice of dozing off skills, the more I practice, the better I am!"

As Odd said this, he deliberately pretended to be unfathomable, swaying in place and making strange movements.

He stood up again, and then asked, "Did you bring the materials for practice?"

Dick listened, and took out the materials he had collected during the previous demon hunting from his space waist bag and put them on the table.

Ode was like an old thief cat who found a treasure, his eyes lit up, and he pounced on the iron table, picked up a piece of fat and put it under his nose and sniffed it hard:

"Hmm! It should be the fat of crab spiders. The quality is very good. Dick, can you give it to me?

"I have my own use. Maybe I can make a magical potion that can make me rejuvenate!"

"Okay, but look." Dick pointed to the materials on the table and said, "I obviously don't have enough materials now, what should I do?"

"In exchange, give it to me, and take the rest if you need it yourself.

"Didn't you see the cabinet next to it? There are name tags on it. Don't worry, this laboratory is your 'secret material library'!" Ode squinted his eyes and said mysteriously.

"Thank you very much."

"You're welcome. Next time you have something good, remember to come to me first. If you dare to hide it secretly, I won't forgive you!" Ode pretended to threaten fiercely, and then couldn't help laughing.

Then, Dick came to the cabinet and looked for the required materials one by one.

He wanted to make some swallow potions again.

Swallow potions are very common for demon hunters, but they are the most cost-effective things. They can restore the injuries of demon hunters in a short time. Before their own innate self-healing skills are upgraded, they are the most effective helpers.

Soon, Dick collected the materials and went to the equipment beside to develop them.

...

Time passed little by little. Dick finally looked at the three bottles of swallow potions on the table, with a proud look on his face. He raised his head and looked out the window, and saw the sun hanging in the middle.

"Has it been so long? I thought it wouldn't take long."

"Young man, you are very attentive."

Odd on the side didn't know when he 'floated' over like a ghost, and said with a smile:

"If you continue to practice like this, you will definitely become a super alchemist master in the future, and maybe you can turn stones into gold. Don't forget me, old man!"

"I'm borrowing your good words." Dick also smiled.

Then he asked tentatively: "Can I go out and do some activities first and then come back?"

“Of course, I’m so bored here alone that I’m going to grow mushrooms!

“Those warlocks are either busy with the little witcher’s trials, or they are out doing other things;

"Some people went to Kellburg to buy supplies for the 'Krang Festival'. Even the old cunning guy Ali who usually chatted with me went to Shichuan Bay to have fun. It's so heartless to leave me here alone. La!"

As Odd spoke, he exaggeratedly wiped away non-existent tears.

"Okay, I'll be back soon."

"Go, go, remember to bring me something interesting. If you don't bring it, I won't let you enter the laboratory!"

Odd sat down on the chair again, leaned against the back of the chair, and waved casually.

Dick soon arrived at the grounds of Castle Castle, but saw that the group of grizzly bear school demon hunters were still sparring.

Seeing Dick coming, everyone greeted him one after another, and Dick registered with the one-eyed demon hunter, bet a little crown, and then began to wait for the competition.

Time flies. Dick defeated five demon hunters of the Grizzly Bear School this time, just like yesterday. However, although he suffered some injuries, he was not as bruised and bruised as yesterday. Dick clearly felt that his fighting skills were more proficient. Some.

After rejecting the offer from the people around him to challenge the mountain pig again, he returned to the laboratory.

"Hey, Dick, why does your face look like you've been splashed with paint? It's all blue and blue?"

Odd's eyes widened when he saw Dick's appearance, and he exclaimed exaggeratedly,

"Did you get attacked by some unruly guy?"

"It's nothing. I sparred with the Grizzly Bear School and the others for a while. I'm sweating a lot and feel much more relaxed."

"A witcher is a witcher, and his health is good." Odd sighed, then secretly glanced at Dick's waist and muttered in a low voice:

"If I had a body like yours, I would have followed that old boy Ali to Shizhui Bay to have a good time, so I wouldn't just stare at him here."
