End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1074
Chapter 1074: A Glance
It would be a waste if he didn’t make the most out of that pure power…
Lin Yun went into his laboratory and started researching that condensation of pure power to maximize its use.
After researching, the effects would be a lot better than whichever method he could use right now. Lin Yun already had come up with a rough outline. Combining God Blood and some of the Beast God’s characteristics, he roughly knew which direction he should go.
It would inevitably be very astonishing after the research…
Lin Yun was in high spirits as he started researching that drop of pure energy. On the other side, the Burning Tower also started researching the Beast God’s Blood.
As the most powerful force of the Odin Kingdom currently in the Raging Flame Plane, they had dispatched more forces here than even the Odin Kingdom’s royal family.
Moreover, the Burning Tower’s inheritance was over ten millennia old. It was already standing on the land of the Odin Kingdom during the Nesser Dynasty.
It was said that at the very start, the master of the Burning Tower had been a Pureblood Elf. By the 3rd Dynasty, many formidable powerhouses had emerged, and a few of them left behind some legends.
They had detailed records of many ancient things, such as usage methods for precious materials like God Blood. They even had completely different methods for the various kinds of God Blood.
Even if the Burning Tower wasn’t a force specialized in potioneering, it wasn’t weak in this regard. They were just especially well known for their fire magic. They weren’t like Sky City, which was famous only for their mastery of the field of arrays.
Because of that deep background, Dylas was confident enough to tell Dedale and even give him the drop of Beast God’s Blood for research purposes.
Dylas remained in the Burning Tower’s temporary camp as they started the research. He would take a trip to the alchemy laboratory every day to check on the pace of the research.
As he was going to the laboratory once again, Dylas couldn’t help letting out a pained smile.
‘A drop of Beast God’s Blood, that’s 100 Pseudo Heaven Rank mana crystals. I only had twenty left after trading for it. Adding the ones from the past few days of hunting, I now only have 23…
‘If those greedy leeches and arrogant b*stards of the Burning Tower waste my drop of Beast God’s Blood, won’t I get nothing?
‘So naturally, I have to take a look every day to check whether these b*stards are destroying the drop of blood or not.
‘Damnit, that weasley Dedale… I did feel that he was too arrogant before. He thinks that he and his Burning Tower are above everyone else. But I can now see that he is also a greedy leech…’
Every day, Dylas couldn’t help feeling distressed when walking to the laboratory. He was afraid of waking up one day and being told by those arrogant scoundrels that the Beast God’s Blood had been wasted.
As he walked to the temporary laboratory’s location, an arrogant mage suddenly blocked Dylas’ path.
It was labelled as an alchemy laboratory, but it was in fact a huge tent with a few smaller tents next to it. Those were the resting areas for the alchemists.
There was a magic fence around the place used for early warning. It was a mere decoration for mages, as it couldn’t even block a Great Mage.
But few mages could sneak in without setting off the magic fence’s alarm. Moreover, this was the center of the temporary camp, and only one mage was needed to guard the entrance.
The one who just stopped Dylas was the one currently standing guard…
“Sir Dylas, how come you are still here? Didn’t I tell you yesterday to stop disturbing my research every single day!?”
The mage had a cold expression and didn’t hide his loathing and disdain. He looked as if he had been walking on the road when he suddenly discovered a fresh pile of feces. It was clear that he didn’t want to let Dylas go through.
An awkward and angry expression flashed on Dylas’ face.
‘Damned b*stard, is that arrogant guy waiting here especially for me? How come I’ve been meeting him for a few days, now?
‘Sh*t, has this arrogant b*stard even discovered anything? You have been waiting for me every day! Are you even researching the Beast God’s Blood?’
Dylas was extremely angry, but he didn’t dare to offend a mage of the Burning Tower, especially a proficient alchemist.
“Sir Siji, I’m only taking a look, it’s just one glance. I won’t disturb your research of the Beast God’s Blood…”
Dylas forced himself to smile as he explained.
Siji sneered with disdain as he held his arm out to bar Dylas’ path.
“Sir Dylas, don’t try to be clever in front of me. How could we not know what you are thinking?
“Aren’t you afraid that the Beast God’s Blood has been wasted during our research? You think we don’t know? We just don’t bother to pay attention to you.
“Do you know the few core formulas of the Cypre Formula? Do you know how many variations it has?
“Do you know how the Corrosive Flower can display the best effect? Do you know the several types of extraction methods corresponding to each kind of potion?
“Do you know?”
Siji sneered as he looked at Dylas, fiercely questioning him.
Dylas’ face darkened as he forcibly squeezed out a smile and awkwardly shook his head.
“I don’t know.”
Dylas didn’t get to say anything else as Siji’s voice suddenly became sharper.
“Sir Dylas! Since you don’t know anything, why are you bothering our research team every day?
“You damned b*stard, don’t you know that the most important part for an alchemist is the thought process? Especially for this kind of new thing, we need sudden enlightenment.
“What if we were all ready, and you just came over to disturb us just as someone was about to get enlightened, interrupting that person’s train of thought? Do you know what the losses would be?
“Forget it, I’m wasting my breath on a clueless guy like you. F*ck, do you even know why I’m waiting for you here?
“Because a clueless idiot like you suddenly came in to disturb us the day before yesterday and interrupted my thought process. I still can’t find that flash of insight!
“What are you still doing here? If you don’t believe in us, then take your drop of Beast God’s Blood and get out of here, f*ck off!
“Or don’t come bothering us and don’t use your shallow knowledge to make conjectures regarding alchemy. That’s not something a clueless guy like you can understand!
“Do you understand now?”
Dylas’ face became green as he was being scolded and ridiculed. His throat kept shaking as he was forcibly restraining himself to the point where he couldn’t breathe.
After taking a deep breath, Dylas gritted his teeth and forced himself to say, “Sir Siji, I’ll go now, but can you tell me the pace of the research? It’s not that I don’t trust you, I’m just concerned…”
Siji sneered, “Sir Dylas, the research is stepping on the right track, but that matter isn’t something that can be figured out in a day or two. Our pace would greatly accelerate if no one bothered us.
“Especially someone like you! You had best not come disturbing us, or the blame will fall onto you if the research has no result.
“Either you don’t appear here, or you directly go to Sir Dedale and ask Sir Dedale to switch us back so that you can look for other people to do the research!”
Hearing what he wanted to hear, Dylas didn’t dare to speak in anger. He had been scolded and ridiculed, but he didn’t dare to retort. He could offend anyone, but he didn’t dare to offend a mage of the Burning Tower, especially these alchemists.
Dylas dejectedly walked away while Siji sneered at Dylas’ back with disdain.
‘Truly a fool… Those mages from the Shadow Tower are like rats, greedy and gutless. Especially that idiot Dylas.
‘I heard this guy always bullies the weaker forces and weaker mages. He even eliminated three weaker mage forces that he didn’t like…
‘He once inadvertently offended the disciple of a powerful leader, and on the same day, he brought a large gift to apologize. He is really a coward.
‘That rat is completely ruining the reputation of mages…
‘Damn, if not for that drop of Beast God’s Blood, I would have killed that nauseating rat if he ever got within thirty meters of here!
‘Him coming here every single day is very annoying. If not for Sir Dedale’s instructions, I would have made that damned b*stard suffer.
‘Today is the 3rd day… Those scoundrels in the lab must be laughing at me. I must win my gamble during the replacement tonight. If I lose again, I’ll have to come and stop Dylas for three more days…
‘I want to smash a bottle of corrosive poison on his face whenever I see him…’
Siji hatefully stared at Dylas’ back before closing the magic fence. He then sneered and arranged a magic trap at the entrance filled with three bottles of corrosive poisons. These were potions that could corrode magic shields and destroy someone’s appearance.
The next day, Dylas appeared in front of the temporary laboratory at the usual time.
Seeing no one at the entrance, Dylas couldn’t help sighing in relief.
‘Finally, there is no one guarding the place. Those arrogant alchemists are really loathsome. They didn’t even want to let me through the gate!
‘I provided that drop of Beast God’s Blood, so why can’t I even give it a glance?’
