"My current research topic is to find a way to stabilize the storage of the 'Strong Voodoo Potion'.
Only in this way can it be used in actual combat. Otherwise, no matter how lethal it is, it will be useless if it can't be brought out of the lab. "
As she spoke, Dilis picked up a piece of paper from the table and handed it to Elvin, "Here, this is the formula for the Voodoo Potion and the Strong Voodoo Potion. Take a look first."
He was a little surprised by Dilis' generosity. After all, the theoretical knowledge in the library was very complete, but there were very few specific potion formulas and their value was not high. Now, he hadn't even helped her yet, and the first thing she did was to give him a highly practical potion formula. It could be said that she was really generous.
With the help of the "Data Analyzing Vision", Elvin finished reading the formulas of the two potions at a glance and had also recorded them. With the knowledge of potions that he had been cramming in the shadow library during this period of time, understanding and even concocting potions of this level was not a problem.
The "Voodoo Potion" was the signature poison of the "Voodoo Cult" that was widely popular in the Southern and New Continents. After being improved by generations of Black Sorcerers, it could be said to be very perfect. Whether it was power or stability, it had reached an extremely high balance.
It was also widely used by the current Black Sorcerers.
The reason why many people's expressions changed when they talked about "Voodoo" was that besides the Resurrected Corpse, Secret Spirit, Voodoo Doll, and other high-level black witchcraft that they had only heard of most of the time, this notorious poison was the greatest contributor.
The "Strong Voodoo Potion" was obviously a modification of the original formula based on the understanding of the latecomer. While it was extremely powerful, it also destroyed the original stability.
The consequence was that it was extremely difficult to store. Any movement could cause it to explode on the spot. It was highly lethal but almost impractical.
Hmm … Maybe it would be very useful for suicide?!
It was just that with Elvin's current knowledge, he could concoct it step by step, but he really could not improve this formula further.
However, he also knew that Dilis did not ask for his help because she wanted to get the final answer directly from him. Instead, she wanted to get inspiration and hints from other people's perspectives.
This was where his advantage lay.
From the violent nature of this potion, it reminded him of a famous raw material for weapons in his previous life — "smokeless gunpowder".
There were three basic methods of scientific research: induction, deduction, and verification. Elvin, who had such scientific thinking and a broader vision, could easily make associations with similar things.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, he said tentatively, "Maybe we can add an additional stabilizer without changing the original composition of the potion?"
"Additional … stabilizers?"
"Yes, I envision this stabilizer to slow down the drug reaction, maintain the chemical balance, reduce the surface tension, and prevent light, thermal, or oxidative decomposition. It's like adding a brake valve commonly used in steam engines to the violent reaction process of the drug to cool it down and brake it! "
As she chewed on Elvin's words, Dilis' eyes grew brighter and brighter. She clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Ah! Why didn't I think of that? "
Sometimes, scientific research was like this. Problems that some people could not solve could lead to major breakthroughs under other people's subconscious hints.
Although Elvin only proposed a solution, he helped Dilis point out the future research direction, which was a huge help.
"That's great. A potion researcher's thinking is not comparable to those two blockheads. With a direction, the rest of the work is easy. My research may be able to produce results soon. This is all thanks to you, Elvin! "
"Hehe, I didn't do much. We just got inspiration when we were discussing the solution together." Elvin said modestly.
However, looking at the excited Dilis, Elvin suddenly thought of a question. He took the opportunity to ask, "By the way, Dilis, what did Alba mean by not joining the School of Alchemy?"
"Oh, yes. You just joined so you don't know. As a reward for helping me, I'll explain it to you. This is a secret that new members can only know after they pass the observation period! "
After achieving a breakthrough in her research, Dilis was in a good mood. She did not care about the possible violation of the rules and leaking the secret.
"'Violet Eyes' is a witchcraft association based in the outer seas. After reaching an agreement with the kingdom, it has become a semi-official organization and ascended to the upper echelons of the kingdom. This has been going on for at least a few decades.
However, it has never recruited members and has taken the initiative to expand. "
Having said that, Dilis paused for a moment, as if she was organizing her words.
"You should know that those of us who join 'Violet Eyes' must be members of the kingdom's navy, noble families, and Naval academy, right? Be it an official student like Benson, or a short-term training officer like you, they are all soldiers of the kingdom.
Although I'm a girl, other than my family being special, I also have the rank of a civilian major in the First Fleet's logistics department. Only members like us who have these two identities can gain the recognition of both parties. It can be considered a compromise after years of cooperation.
Anyway, from what I know, the association has never been worried that its organization will be completely infiltrated by the kingdom.
Then, the new members will go through irregular observation and ability tests. Those who perform well will be accepted into the school and receive the inheritance. "
"School?" Elvin knew that Milan was a clairvoyant who belonged to the school of prophecy. He had originally thought that this school of thought was similar to the academic schools in his previous life, but from what Dilis said, it was clearly not that simple.
"That's right, it's a school of thought! To be precise, it's the school of alchemy! "
After hearing Dilis' explanation, Elvin was extremely glad that he had obtained that tiny library card!
The level of mysticism he had come into contact with before was too low. From Leon's notes, Trou's memories, and Milan's words, he had no way of knowing that there was a difference between "school of sorcerers" and "wild sorcerers" in this world.
Although the path of a sorcerer did not have the shackles of other extraordinary paths, and their strength was completely dependent on the accumulation of wisdom and knowledge, at the same time, they did not enjoy the protection of a fixed path.
In addition, sorcerers were a group of people who were dedicated to probing (duan) the truth, and the risk of losing control was always high.
In order to solve this problem, a long time ago, there were sages with extraordinary wisdom who, after a long period of exploration, created the world's first school of sorcerers!
Using the school's original sorcery, a systematic advancement ritual, and a man-made mysterious source of the school, they created a relatively safe path in the middle of a divergent path.
Then, they used the strength of the entire school to resist the risk of losing control. The stronger the overall strength, the more stable this path would be!
Moreover, the advantages of a stable and systematic inheritance were not limited to this. The more outstanding talents who joined in the same research direction, the more mature and perfect the related knowledge system would be. In the group of sorcerers who valued knowledge above all, this represented the stronger they would be.
And all of this was something that wild sorcerers did not have.
While they were bearing the risk of losing control that far exceeded that of a school of sorcerers, their spellcasting ability was suppressed by a school of sorcerers. The word "miserable" was not enough to describe their situation.
Dilis and the other two, due to their family backgrounds, had long joined the only school of alchemy in the association that had a complete inheritance. It was just that their research direction was different. Dilis specialized in "magic potions", Anthony specialized in "alchemy tools and enchantment engineering", and Alba was more inclined towards "runes".
The school of sorcerers could be changed at will before they became official sorcerers, but after they became official sorcerers, they would no longer have the chance …
"Then where should my path as a sorcerer be?" After listening to Dilis's explanation, Elvin could not help but fall into deep thought.
