Abel began his exploration of Lut Gholein. Although there were no citizens in this city, the buildings were well preserved. If he could find some useful clues, he might be able to learn more about this city.
The building to the east of the teleportation station was Drognan's potion shop. It was also the place Abel wanted to explore the most.
When he arrived at the door of the shop, he noticed that all the doors and windows were tightly shut. A strange power of law had protected the wood in the building, so the doors and windows were still the same as they were in the past.
Abel gently pushed open the door. He saw a row of display cabinets with many bottles on them.
Abel's heart skipped a beat. He walked up and picked up one of the bottles. The bottle in his hand was shaped like a Black Wind. It was round and had a small bottle neck. Judging from the red liquid inside, it was a bottle of "light healing potion."
The "light healing potion" was the upgraded version of the "light healing potion." It could double the life force of a person, but for someone like Abel who had the "full recovery vitality potion," this kind of potion was basically useless.
He didn't have the ability to reverse engineer the formula of the "light healing potion," so his hands did not stop moving. He took all the bottles from the display cabinets and put them into his portal bracelet.
12 bottles of "light healing potion" and 10 bottles of "light mana potion." It was not a lot, but it was a new type of potion that Abel had never seen before. It was not a bad idea to keep it as a collection.
Looking at the empty display cabinets, Abel knew that wizards like Drognan would not put important things in them. They were just for show. Wizards with portal objects would usually put things in them.
He pushed open the wooden door on the side and saw a smaller room. It seemed to be an alchemy room, but it was very clean. Other than an alchemy table, there was nothing else.
Inside the alchemy room was a locked door. The owner of this room had disappeared long ago, so Abel did not have to worry about it. He twisted the lock with his bare hands.
He pushed open the wooden door, and he knew it was a collection room. It was a place where wizards lived. They would put things that were not too important or could not fit in their portal objects.
In front of him was such a collection room. A large number of alchemy materials that had dried up and could no longer be used were neatly placed in a cabinet on one side. Some strange animal specimens were arranged on the display table in the room.
In the innermost part of the collection room, he found a box. The box was covered with all kinds of patterns. Due to the passage of time, these patterns no longer had any magic power and had lost the protection of the box.
He only lightly touched the lock on the box, and the box was easily opened.
Inside the box was the most precious treasure in this world. It was a parchment book that contained knowledge. Whether it was in the Holy Continent or the Dark World, any parchment book was extremely precious. One of the reasons was that the process of making a parchment was extremely complicated.
Furthermore, knowledge was passed down from nobles to nobles. The confidentiality of knowledge made it extremely difficult to obtain, and the collection of an old adept was even more precious.
Abel took out a few parchment books from the box one by one. A few books on spell theory could help him understand more about spells, and Dragonan's autobiography could help him understand more about the Dark World.
The last one was the "Beginner's Potion Guidebook." Abel felt like he had gotten a real treasure. There were only 4 potion recipes in the book. He had already learned how to make the "light healing potion" and the "light mana potion." The other 2 were the "light healing potion" and "light mana potion." He just got the recipe for the "light healing potion" and "light mana potion."
After opening the "beginner potion guide," Abel realized that the ingredients for the "lite healing potion" and "lite mana potion" were not too different from the other 2 potions. The only difference was the amount and recipe.
There was no mana potion in the Holy Continent, and the healing potion was not as effective as the healing potion in the Dark World. The 4 potion recipes in Abel's hands were the result of countless years of alchemy in the Dark World. Maybe there was some outside help.
Abel couldn't wait to make these 2 potions. He had all the ingredients in his portal bracelet.
He came to the alchemy table in the alchemy room and took out a full set of "Ankara alchemy bottles." He placed the ingredients on the side of the table.
He took out a ruby and drew a pattern on it with his power of the will. It seemed like the ruby was ignited, and a flame began to rise.
When Abel took out the "Ankara alchemy bottle" and began to make the "lite healing potion," everything in front of him slowed down. Although the world stone fragment was not ignited, its dynamic vision and precise control ability did not disappear.
Countless numbers began to appear in front of his eyes. The heat of the flame, the reaction of the potion, and the temperature of the alchemy bottle were all converted into numbers. His body that had broken through the limits of a human could always perform the most precise actions at the most appropriate time.
By that point, Abel realized he had underestimated the ability of the world stone fragment. The world stone fragment was almost a cheat. It could make every action perfect during alchemy.
As he added ingredients one by one, the reaction of the ingredients made the alchemy bottle very unstable. However, Abel could always grasp the most appropriate temperature at the most appropriate time. The constantly changing numbers in his head were constantly reminding him of what he should do at the most appropriate time.
In the past, he would have to practice many times to make his first potion, but now he could do it in one try. On top of that, he directly increased the quality of the "lite healing potion" to the highest standard of 60 points of health.
Afterward, he made another batch of the 'light mana potion.' He succeeded on his first try as well. This meant that he had mastered 4 types of potions from the Dark World.
After leaving Dragonan's potion shop, Abel headed south and saw Atma's tavern not far away. The tavern's windows were very big, and it was always open. The inside of the tavern was already covered in dust. He walked in and saw that the kitchen was still in good condition. It could be used after a bit of cleaning.
On the second floor of the tavern, there were a few rooms that could be used after a bit of cleaning. Abel decided to make this his residence. After all, no matter how good a tent was, it would not be as comfortable as a real house.
After leaving the spirit guardian Knight to clean up the tavern, Abel continued to explore other places.
On the south side of the harbor, there was a damaged wooden merchant ship. It was completely relying on the buoyancy of the wood itself to stay afloat on the water. Originally, Abel wanted to get a map from the merchant ship, but the inside of the ship was already corroded by the seawater.
After leaving the harbor, Abel walked towards the center of the city. That was where the city's market was. Most of the shacks there were open air. Nothing could be preserved in such an environment, so all he could see was piles of trash.
The only useful thing was a well. This was the most important resource in a desert city. According to the legends, this well was the first thing that formed Lut Gholein City.
At the edge of the city, Abel found the most majestic building. It was the palace. It was the best building in the entire city. It was completely built with giant stones, and there were colorful decorative stones pasted on the outer walls.
The inside of the palace was also very luxurious. The square marble floor still retained its elegance even after countless years. The pillars with delicate carvings supported the huge palace hall.
None of the rooms in the palace had been changed. Because they were indoors and were protected by the rules, all of the items were still in their original state. Pieces of art from different places were left in their original places, as if no one had paid attention to them.
Abel could understand this. The rich port city of Lut Gholein had a lot of goods flowing through it. That was why the palace was built with giant stones that could not be found in the desert. That was why there were so many different pieces of art in the palace.
But with the invasion of heaven and hell, everything changed. Pieces of art became trash that no one wanted. No matter how good a piece of art was, it was not as valuable as a piece of bread, and it was not as useful as a weapon.
