"… Essence oil?"
Charlie was surprised to hear about Greasy Badger's mission.
It wasn't a big deal for someone as talented as Greasy Badger to do something like this. But what was Mister Padt going to do with it? What was he going to do with it?
Was Mister Padt going to enter the Fragrance Realm as well?
Under Charlie's shocked gaze, Angor used an illusion spell to create a piece of paper filled with writing and handed it to Greasy Badger. "I need you to use these materials to make an oil."
Oil Badger took the paper and read through it. There were more than 20 kinds of materials listed on it. The first five should be the main ones. Angor circled them with a red pen and marked the approximate weight of the materials. The rest of the materials were not marked at all.
"Can I really use this?" Greasy Badger looked at the main materials and hesitated.
Incombustible Oil Foam of Soar, Mottled Bark Oil of Swamp Juniper, Dead Butterfly Arum, Ghost Pocket Bell Mushroom, and Swallowleaf Dandelion Skin … These five materials alone were enough to make Greasy Badger's scalp go numb.
Soar was also known as "stinky" soar because of its pungent smell. No insects or beasts dared to invade the area where it grew.
The "stinky" smell of soar came from its tree oil.
Even after being diluted and purified, the so-called "Incombustible Oil Foam" still had a pungent smell that reminded one of rotting rat corpses.
Wizards rarely came into contact with rare materials like this. They were usually used to craft necromancy tools or Ghoul Potions.
At least, Greasy Badger had never heard of using this kind of tree oil as the main ingredient for making an essence oil.
Soar wasn't the only one. The Dead Butterfly Arum and Ghost Pocket Bell Mushroom were also famous magic plants in the southern region. Their so-called "reputation" also meant "stinky". Even Fragrance Alchemists were unwilling to extract the special smell after being diluted.
The Mottled Bark Oil of Swamp Juniper was not stinky at all. It was actually quite fragrant after being diluted. However, Fragrance Alchemists rarely extracted it because its smell was very strong and lingered for a long time. Also, its origin made many people feel uncomfortable.
Swamp Juniper, as its name suggested, was a kind of tree that grew in swamps. It is different from other trees in that it is alive and carnivorous.
It could control the tree vines to pull the creatures on the shore into the swamp, dissecting their skin and eating their bones, and using their flesh and blood to nourish the tree.
With the continuous killing, the corpses accumulated at the bottom of the swamp. A layer of faint black corpse oil naturally appeared on the surface of the swamp. This black oil stained the bark of the swamp juniper and mixed with the oil secreted by the juniper. This was the so-called "mottled bark oil".
This kind of material was mostly used to make "soul-drawing soup", which was specially used to attract the undead.
Anyway, Oil Badger had never thought that this thing could be used to refine essential oils.
The last main ingredient was the Swastika Leaf Dandelion Skin. This was the most normal of all the main ingredients, and it was really famous in the fragrance world. It was one of the few magic plants that didn't have a smell, but the more diluted it was, the more pungent the smell would be.
It was common to extract its flavor and use it as a catalyst for other fragrances.
However, using it as the main material to refine essential oil … This was the first time Oil Badger had heard of such a thing.
In short, the list of main ingredients was outrageous.
"I don't know if it works or not." Angor shrugged. Under the curious gazes of Oil Badger and Charlie, he explained, "I found the formula by accident. I've never tried it before, so I don't know if it works or not. Also, it doesn't seem to be complete. It only recorded the quantities of the main ingredients and didn't mention the other auxiliary ingredients.
"Whether you can refine it or not will depend on your talent, Oil Badger.
But it doesn't matter if I can't. I just want to know if the formula is real, so I'll give it a try. "
Charlie nodded. "That's right.
Mister Padt only found an unknown formula by accident, so he wanted to try it out.
This was quite common in the wizarding world. The more interesting a formula was, the more wizards would want to copy it. The main ingredients of the formula were already so interesting, which was why Mister Padt was interested in it.
Perhaps Mister Padt didn't find anyone suitable to refine the formula, so he put it aside for a long time. Now that he met Oil Badger, who was extremely talented in blending oils, he decided to give it to Angor.
At first, Charlie was wondering why Angor wanted to refine essential oil. But now, he realized that Angor was just curious about it.
How could he refine an oil that smelled so good?
On the other hand, Oil Badger was still wondering if he could refine the formula. But since Angor already said so, it didn't matter if he couldn't refine it, so he relaxed a lot.
Let's try it out then.
"There are ten thousand magic crystals in here." Next, he took out a space capsule from his bracelet. "You can use these crystals to buy materials. You can decide how to distribute them."
Try to get the best quality materials you can. If you run out of magic crystals in the end, come back and find me. "
Charlie took the space capsule and nodded. "Understood."
"Off you go then."
Under Angor's gaze, Charlie and Oil Badger left the soundproof room.
After they left, Olao approached Angor with a curious look in his eyes. It seemed he wanted to ask something.
Angor looked into Olao's eyes. "You want to know why I was naked when Oil Badger saw me for the first time?"
Olao's eyes were clear, but they couldn't hide the curiosity in them.
He was now released from prison after ten thousand years, and he was always curious about everything, especially his "master" Angor.
"It's not a secret," said Angor.
Olao's eyes lit up. So he could tell Angor about it?
Angor paused and continued, "But … it's not a secret. What are you thinking when you ask the master to tell you?"
Angor didn't want to say it, but in the end, he still told Olao the truth.
It wasn't a secret, but it could easily lead to false rumors. It was better to tell Angor about it before Olao asked him about it in the future.
Of course, he didn't tell Angor anything about the Nightmare Realm. According to Olao, Sunders discovered the monster's mark on him, which led to something else.
After satisfying Olao's curiosity, Angor returned to the soundproof room and asked the kids who were watching TV to come out.
Olao approached Angor again when he was about to ask Angor about Wood Spirit and Dangros.
This time, Olao changed the topic. "Mister, I think I've seen something similar to the formula you gave Oil Badger."
"Where did you see it?" Angor wasn't surprised.
Olao pondered for a moment and said, "I think I saw it at Miss Margaret's place. Miss Margaret asked the most famous perfume warlock in Nether City to make it. However, I only saw the three main ingredients in the recipe. They are the non-combustible oil foam of Soar, the mottled oil of Swamp Juniper, and the Dead Butterfly Arum."
Because he had only glanced at it, Olao didn't take note of it, so he didn't know what the other main and supplementary materials were. Therefore, Olao couldn't tell if Angor's formula was the same as Margaret's.
If it weren't for the oil badger reading out the main ingredients, Olao would have almost forgotten this memory.
"You're saying Margret asked someone to make it for her? Why did she make this essential oil? "
Olao wasn't sure if the formula was made for Margaret, but Angor was sure that it came from Margaret's room. Or rather, Margaret's room in the Nightmare Realm.
In Margaret's secret room, there were not only Enchantment Encyclopedia, but also many other alchemy books, including Notes on the Extraction of Precious Materials, Floating Powder Collection, Notes on Alchemy, and so on.
Among them, the essential oil formula was recorded in the Floating Powder Collection. It was a book about perfumes. However, it didn't record many recipes. Most of the content was about Margaret's experience when using different perfumes.
"I'm not sure," Olao said. "But I think the oil was made into a special fragrance and used on Master's body. But the strange thing is, after Master used this fragrance, I didn't smell anything on Master's body. "
"I think … only Miss Margaret could smell it."
Olao's explanation confirmed Angor's suspicion.
The oil alone didn't have much effect. However, when combined with some special materials, it could create a fragrance called "Lighthouse".
The effect of the lighthouse was just like its name: In the boundless dark night, people who sprayed this fragrance were like lighthouses. No matter where they were, they could immediately find the source of light.
To put it simply, the Lighthouse Perfume could emit an extremely unique pungent smell. However, this smell could not be smelled by others. Only the person who personally made the fragrance could smell it.
Furthermore, this fragrance involved a special level of energy. Even if one was far away in the Land, they could smell it immediately.
Now, he was planning to use it on the hat he made for Doriz.
The reason was simple. He didn't have any bad intentions toward Doriz. He just wanted to do a little experiment.
After getting the hat, Doriz's next step would be to accept a mission and enter the Box of Reincarnation.
Of course, Angor wouldn't go to the Box of Reincarnation. However, the Gate of Illusion was fully charged. He planned to find a chance to explore it again.
The last time he went to the Gate of Illusion, he met with Ivo, or Alex.
Angor didn't think he would see Alex again next time. Still, he wanted to see how Alex was doing inside the Box of Reincarnation.
However, he didn't have a way to locate Alex.
So, he thought about the "Lighthouse" fragrance.
The Box of Reincarnation must be very important to Dounitz. If he happened to smell the lighthouse on Dounitz's hat when he used the Gate of Illusions next time, would he be able to lock onto Dounitz's coordinates and enter the Box of Reincarnation with illusions again?
Of course, this was just a small experiment he came up with after meeting the oil badger.
Angor wasn't sure if it would work or not.
After all, there was a limit to how far the Lighthouse Fragrance could travel. Since the Gate of Illusion was traveling through a high-dimensional tunnel, it was unlikely that Angor would be able to smell the Lighthouse Fragrance.
Still, it was just an experiment, and the oil badger was the one leading it. It wouldn't take much time anyway.
Angor smiled at Olao. "Maybe Margret is the only one who can smell it. She and your master are having a little fun together?"
Before Olao could think further, Angor continued, "I'm going back to my soundproof chamber to take a rest. What about you? Do you want to stay outside with them, or do you want to go to my heart space?"
Olao considered. "I'll stay with the wood spirit for a while."
The wood spirit was still immersed in watching Apothecary of Strange Flame. However, it would look up from time to time to check its surroundings, as if it was still in a state of shock.
It seemed that the trip to the signal tower and the sudden visit from Charlie and the oil badger still caused the wood spirit to feel uneasy.
Even if it was watching a movie, it still couldn't stay calm.
Olao really wanted to go to his heart space to get some real objects from the Sea of Mirrors, but he didn't want to do that.
Angor decided to calm the wood spirit down first.
He nodded to Olao and entered the soundproof chamber.
He closed the door, found a comfortable place to sit down, closed his eyes, and logged into the dream wasteland.
After half an hour of arguing, Angor wondered if Broy and Guy had come up with a solution.
With that in mind, he went to the mission center of the new city.
When Angor logged off, Broy and Guy were still arguing. It had been half an hour, and they still weren't done yet. However, the music sheets in front of them had changed slightly.
At that time, they were still pulling the twenty music scores to their limits. Now, there were only three music scores left in front of them.
The other sheets were tossed aside. Clearly, these three sheets were the last thing they wanted to discuss.
Angor didn't disturb them. Instead, he sat down and listened to their conversation quietly.
From their conversation, one thing could be ascertained: Uriel preferred the last chapter of the Sloan Triptych.
In each chapter of the Sbrow Three Chapters, a foreign merchant arrived at the Sbrow Bazaar and was cheated by the local tyrant, but the ending was different.
The first merchant chose to admit defeat and seek protection, but the outcome was not very good. The second merchant chose to form alliances and tried to jump out of the framework to compete with the local tyrant, but in the end, he failed on the verge of success.
The last chapter of Sbro's Three Chapters described the final merchant's battle of wits against the local tyrant.
It was one of the most satisfying chapters in Sbro's Three Chapters.
But there was also a subdivision. The point of contention between Broy and Guy at this moment was which kind of pleasure did Uriel like?
