The three glass bottles contained the Prophet's mixture of dark green liquid, which bubbled from time to time.
The ingredients that Josiah randomly chose did not have any strange … magical or chemical changes with the karma dust.
"Who's first?" Josiah asked subconsciously.
The Prophet did not answer, but directly took a glass bottle on the table.
She was the refiner of this thing, so the Prophet knew that the things that Josiah chose, even if mixed together, could not produce any toxicity. Of course … there was no buff effect.
The Prophet pulled the cork and drank the whole bottle directly.
"How does it taste?"
When Josiah talked to the Prophet, it was really difficult to see any emotional fluctuations on her face.
"Sugar water that stings the tongue."
The Prophet gave a concise evaluation of the bottle of liquid.
Hiri also picked up another bottle on the table and opened the cork. She tentatively took a sip into her mouth, but she almost vomited like Josiah.
"This taste is even stranger than the magic mixture." Hiri stuck out her tongue and said, "It does sting in the mouth."
"Failed?"
Seeing Hiri's extreme reaction, Josiah picked up the last bottle and took a small sip. After the first sip, Josiah directly drank all the liquid in the bottle.
"This is the texture and taste I want. No, the taste is a little worse."
Josiah put down the bottle and had an inexplicable urge to cry. On Earth, Josiah liked the taste of Coke more than any other drink.
After coming to this world, Josiah also thought about restoring the taste of Coke, but he had never found a substitute for baking soda. The Prophet solved this problem for Josiah.
"Is it delicious?"
Hiri looked at the unfinished bottle in her hand. She was a little afraid to continue to try the strange taste.
"You will like it and even be infatuated with it in the future."
Josh gestured with his hand, encouraging Ciri to drink it all in one gulp without hesitation.
Hiri directly drank all the dark green liquid in the bottle with the mentality of risking everything.
The tingling feeling on the tip of the tongue made Hiri very uncomfortable, but after gradually getting used to this strange feeling, the sweetness and tingling complemented each other.
It made Hiri feel a kind of … inexplicable pleasure.
"At this time, you should say another bottle!" Hiri held up the empty bottle in her hand as if she was drunk.
However, Josiah's refining formula did not contain alcohol.
"The Prophet refine another bottle according to the amount just now. Add a little more this time."
The mixture of karma dust and syrup could be said to lay the foundation for the taste of Coke, but in some aspects, the taste was very different from the Coke on Earth.
Just as Josiah was thinking about what other flavours he should add … someone knocked on the door of the alchemy workshop.
"Sir Josiah, Count Kirrlutz wishes to see you."
The servant outside shouted to Josiah.
"Is this the efficiency of the Nation of Steel …"
Josiah had entrusted Count Cruz with the construction plan for "Beauty and the Devil" yesterday.
He needed to spend some time to calculate the funds and materials needed for the construction of the scenario and discuss all the possible solutions with the engineering team.
Josiah initially thought that it would take at least three days, but Count Kirrlutz had completed his task today and specially went to this alchemy workshop to look for Josiah.
"Count Cruz, please come in."
Count Kirrlutz did not come here alone, he was followed by two alchemy engineers.
"I went to the Hearthstone Tavern to visit you in the morning and was told that you were not in the tavern … until a friend of mine told me that Mr. Josiah was in this alchemy workshop."
Count Kirrlutz stood at the door and glanced inside the alchemy workshop. A little girl who looked only about ten years old was holding a wooden stick and stirring a pot of bubbling green liquid.
No matter how you looked at this scene, it looked like Josiah was asking a young girl to refine poison for him.
He really wanted to remind Josiah that hiring child labor to refine poison was already a violation of several Noland laws.
"Am I disturbing Mr. Josiah?"
So Count Kirrlutz lowered his voice when he spoke.
"No, I am trying to make a new type of drink. If you don't mind, you can wait for a while." Josiah pointed to a few benches inside the alchemy workshop.
"Drink?"
Count Kirrlutz really could not see the bright green liquid in the crucible as a drink.
Just the constant bubbles on the surface were constantly reminding Count Kirrlutz that 'this thing is very dangerous'.
In order to save time, he chose to wait for Josiah to finish his research.
"Would it taste better if I put some wormwood in it?"
Hiri directly used a soup spoon and a bowl to solve the second pot of the Prophet's refinement. After adapting to the unique taste brought by the karmic dust, she had begun to like this taste.
"What is that?" Josiah knew nothing about this world's alchemy technology.
"Edible spices, sweet."
The Prophet once again took on the role of science popularization.
"The sweetness is enough, now we need some sour."
"Then use the juice of the sour fruit. I still remember the sour taste when I ate it in the wild …"
Hiri had a wealth of wilderness survival experience, including judging whether some plants in the wild were edible.
The Prophet did not make any comments. She was good at alchemy, not how to make the medicine taste better.
So under a series of tosses by Josiah and Hiri, the dark green liquid in the crucible glowed brighter.
At this moment, the liquid in the crucible had left the scope of 'poison' and began to approach 'dangerous radiation'.
"Looks … better?" Josiah said with some uncertainty.
"Well … I only know that a mushroom that glows is definitely poisonous."
Hiri looked at the liquid in the crucible and was not sure at all.
The Prophet was still expressionless as he filled a bowl with the spoon, then drank it in one gulp and burped.
"Non-poisonous." The Prophet repeated these two words again.
Josh also scooped up a small bowl and had a taste of it.
When the taste buds on his tongue touched the bowl of liquid … Josiah was 100% sure that this thing was cola.
Although it was dark green and glowed, the taste and texture were very similar. There were some subtle differences that Josiah could not make up for, but the overall taste was almost the same as the cola on earth.
"I think everyone here should try it!"
Josiah filled another bowl and brought it in front of the Count of the Iron Nation.
The successful birth of cola in this world was such an exciting thing that Josiah had to find someone to show off.
