"Eli!"
Soon Eli came to the library, and it happened that Herman had just arrived, but at this time he had an unconcealed smile on his face, and he didn't know what beautiful things had happened.
The two walked towards the second floor together.
Eli didn't ask, because he knew that Herman would definitely not be able to say it.
Sure enough, after a few seconds, Herman, who was next to Eli, saw that Eli did not respond, so he took the initiative to lean forward and said, "Eli, I am so happy today."
"Oh!" Eli nodded and continued walking.
Seeing Eli ignoring him, Herman felt a little uncomfortable, as if he was constipated, but after a few seconds he couldn't help but leaned forward and said, "Eli, do you remember when I said I was cheated? ?"
"Remember, why, you went to gamble again, aren't you afraid that the teacher will kill you?" Eli turned his head at this time and looked at Herman suspiciously.
With this kid's IQ, he can do anything.
"How is that possible, didn't I tell you before that I was dragged by someone else?" Herman was busy denying it, then leaned into Eli's ear and whispered, "That person is dead."
"?" Eli wondered.
"Yes, it seems that he was beaten to death by someone in the casino, tsk tsk tsk, although it is really pitiful, but I am really happy." Herman sighed, and then added: "He cheated me of money, but lost it. Life, I am not at a loss for this wave!"
What kind of self-comforting ah!
"His name is Evans!" Herman said suddenly as the two walked.
Evans?
Hearing this familiar name, Eli was stunned, wasn't this the guy who led him to be deceived that day?
"Oh, by the way, there is that casino, which seems to be not very profitable recently. It also closed a few days ago!"
Mocha Casino is also closed.
Eli admitted that he did make some money there, and he went there a few times later, just to make a small profit, but it went out of business. He still underestimated the ability of these casinos to withstand pressure.
But it is not necessarily. Maybe other casinos want to annex it. Originally, Mocha Casino is not a big casino, it can only be said to be a medium-sized casino.
"I heard that it was done by an outsider, but it's a pity he's here, otherwise I'll knock him a few on the spot." Herman said with a smile.
Eli smiled and said nothing.
Soon, the two began to work after visiting Maester Lemon.
…
After the casino thing is over.
Eli's life has also returned to two points and one line, wandering between home and the library, and occasionally going to the base in the valley outside the city to conduct some experiments.
During the period, there was no news from the Earl of Gremory, and Eli was also happy.
With sufficient funds, Eli also purchased a large amount of materials from Roland to conduct experiments.
Of course, in order to avoid Roland's suspicion, he also used witchcraft to blur Roland's memory so that it would not be leaked. After all, trust is trust, but the caution should not be lost.
Anyway, to the outside world, he is a scholar and has no fighting ability.
He can improve his status and social circle without any scruples, but he will never reveal his strength. The former will only make everyone feel that the empire has a good scholar, and the high-ranking people will not care too much, and even make him safer. But the latter may frighten some people.
And only when his social circle is improved can he get more resources.
Gou is for development, definitely not for Gou.
…
"The 136th experiment failed!"
In the laboratory, Eli quietly discarded the experimental waste again. Although he failed, he was not discouraged, because as time passed, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to completing the first stage.
The experiment has been going on for a month, and every time it fails.
"No hurry!" Eli took out a new material from the side and continued to start the experiment.
For a time, the bright basement fell silent again, only the sound of Eli operating the instrument sounded.
"The one hundred and thirty-seventh experiment failed."
"The one hundred and thirty-eighth experiment failed."
…
"The 201st experiment, failed."
…
"The 301st experiment, successful!"
Three months later, finally, Eli's first phase was a success.
Eli looked at the roughly prepared potion in front of him, and there was actually a faint fluctuation that was close to spiritual power. He felt a little excited, and finally found the experimental material that was replaced in the original formula.
The next step is to adjust the analogy of these materials, and then finally formulate the potion.
"At that time, my mental power will grow rapidly, maybe it won't take that long!" Eli was also a little happy.
His mental power should currently be around 6.3, increasing at a rate of about 0.5 per year, which takes 7.4-8 years. If it can be deployed, it will greatly shorten this time.
Although he doesn't care much about time, this promotion can make him less worried.
Once he is promoted to the second-class apprentice, his combat power will increase again, and he is not quite sure about the great knight, but under the great knight, he will definitely be hanged casually, and his survivability will also increase.
At that time, even if it is really exposed, there is no need to have so many concerns, the big deal is to run away.
"The next step is the second stage, the specific and refined replacement."
Eli took a deep breath and prepared to continue the experiment.
But when he went to get the materials, he found that he didn't know when, the original experimental materials had all been used up, and there was nothing left.
"Looks like I have to go to Roland again." Now that he had no materials, Eli could only do other work.
As for continuing the experiment, we have to wait for a new batch of materials to arrive.
…
"Is the purple iris gone?"
In the familiar room, Eli looked puzzled.
"Yes." Roland nodded and said helplessly: "There are other materials you want, and I can collect them for you, but this purple iris is really not good now!"
"Why?" Eli was still a little confused.
He came over today to find Roland to order the materials, but was told that the purple irises in the materials were not available.
But the purple iris is the most important material in the potion, and it is completely irreplaceable. If there is no such thing, his potion experiment can be declared bankrupt directly.
"That's it, purple irises are only found in Locke Manor outside the city. UU and it seems to be a unique plant here. It was transplanted from a far away place. A few days ago, Locke Manor suddenly stopped. Selling together, it seems that they are not going to sell again!" Roland explained.
"This!" Eli gasped.
This... his experiment can't continue?
"I really can't help it, oh, by the way, that manor belongs to the Marquis family Elena family, don't you know the Earl of Gremory, he seems to be familiar with the Elena family, maybe you can find his help ." Roland gave a suggestion.
Elena family.
When Roland said this, Eli remembered the dance more than half a year ago. Isn't that Alex from the Elena family? It's a pity that he has no channel to contact him at all, and the two are not familiar with each other.
On the contrary, the Earl of Gremory should be more familiar with him, and maybe he can really get help from him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't help you!" Roland said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, I'm already happy that you can help me find others." Eli smiled, he had no reason to blame Roland.
"Then I'll go first." Since there was no material, Eli didn't plan to stay for long. He greeted Roland and left.
On the way home, Eli also had mixed feelings.
It's a bit frustrating that a good experiment is at risk of dying.
"I can only ask the earl of Gremory."
Eli pondered, and soon returned home.
When I entered the yard, I found a letter in the mailbox at the door.
Eli opened it, and it happened that it happened to the Earl of Gremory.
The letter told him that the rest of the horses had already arrived at the racecourse and hoped he would come over.
