"Come with me. Since you call me your mentor and you've fulfilled my wish, there are some things that I should teach you." Gahrona slowly walked down the stairs and asked, "What have you learned about alchemy?"
"Some healing potions …" Lu Li picked out some formulas and said.
Gahrona was not very interested in conventional alchemy. She would only pause for a moment when Lu Li was talking about poisons. So, Lu Li focused on some of the formulas and experiments.
"Have you ever eaten poison?" Gahrona suddenly turned around.
"Eat … eat poison?" Lu Li was shocked. He quickly shook his head and said, "How can poison be eaten? Besides, the enemy will not be picky about the taste of the poison."
He felt that he had told a joke, but unfortunately, Gahrona did not smile. She looked at the corridor beside the handrail, and her eyes became unfocused. Lu Li did not know if she was thinking, or if she was distracted by something else.
This time, Lu Li felt that Gahrona had completely changed.
He had even doubted whether the person in front of him was really his mentor. His impression of Garona wasn't cold and rigid, but as a great thief, behind her ordinary appearance, there was a chilling sharpness and sharpness that made people tremble in fear.
But now, she was actually distracted!
"I've eaten 967 kinds of poisons. My favorite flavor is one that I made myself. The effect is to bleed and prevent wounds from healing. You should try it when you have the chance." Gahrona turned around and continued to walk down the stairs casually. The stairs here were the same as in Karazhan. If it was a projection, the monsters in Karazhan would probably be missing.
"How can poison be eaten?" Lu Li muttered.
"No one said that you can't taste poison. It's good for you to have a deeper understanding of its properties. Just don't eat it to death," Gahrona said.
Then there was a silent path with fences on both sides. Through the fences, you could see outside, but the light was dim and nothing could be seen clearly. There were only some outlines of the forest. There were no sounds of insects, birds, or beasts. It was like walking in a dream.
"Your Excellency, do you have any goblins here? The kind that are very good at engineering." The tower was eerily silent. Lu Li chose to break the silence and satisfy his curiosity. "I saw many mechanical units, such as the flying bat beast and the dog that made the clicking sound."
"Thermaplugg … if you mean him," Gahrona said.
The figure of a Gnome flashed through Lu Li's mind. The Gnome that he saw in the Southshore Inn was actually Thermaplugg, the mad Gnome who was labeled as a murderer and a traitor. It turned out that he really was from Ravenholdt Manor.
Gahrona didn't feel that there was anything wrong with revealing Thermaplugg's identity. Lu Li had obviously gained her trust.
"This can be your room if you have time," Garona said as she pushed open a broken door. It was indeed a little broken, and the door was shaking as she pushed it open.
Lu Li valued the place that was given to him very much, so he walked in.
The room wasn't big. It was tiny compared to Lu Li's house in Darnassus. There was a narrow wooden bed on one side of the wall, and a narrow table on the other side. There was also a shelf with a few books scattered on it. They were also covered in dust.
"Do you think it's dirty?" Gahrona asked.
"Ahem." Lu Li choked when he picked up the book. He nodded and said, "I do need to clean it before I can live here."
"Then go ahead and clean the rest of the tower," Gahrona said.
Lu Li coughed even harder, but the system prompt made him stop complaining. The system said that he had been given a room in Gahrona's Tower, and it gave him the properties of the room.
Yes, the room had properties.
The normal properties were that it increased fatigue recovery by a certain amount, and it also gave him double EXP after resting for a certain amount of time. In the System's hotel, fatigue recovery was increased by 10%, and if he slept for a night, he would get an hour of double EXP the next day.
The private property that Lu Li bought was slightly better. It increased fatigue recovery by 20%, and if he slept for a night, he would get an hour and a half of double EXP.
His property was very expensive, and it was the best kind. The average property only increased fatigue recovery by 15%, and the double EXP was slightly less. There were still many players who would buy a house for the reward of such a room, even if it was slightly more remote.
In his previous life, Lu Li bought a simple place to stay in a guild's stronghold, and it was only slightly better than the System's hotel.
Over time, even a little bit would add up to a gap.
The room that Gahrona gave him increased fatigue recovery by 30%, and if he slept for a night, he would get two hours of double EXP the next day!
That was insane!
Compared to his small villa, this place had more than half an hour of double EXP every day, which was 15 hours a month, which was equivalent to an extra day of leveling compared to others.
In Lu Li's eyes, this shabby room that was barely fit for human habitation suddenly became resplendent. He could even clean up the Garona's Tower in the future. Moreover, he could hire followers from the System to help him out, or wait until his Engineering level was high enough to create puppets that could work.
"If you agree, come with me to take a look at your laboratory," Gahrona said.
"No problem, leave it to me," Lu Li replied.
They continued to the next floor, and Gahrona even showed him the location of the kitchen, but there was no chef in this tower, and Gahrona clearly did not look like someone who knew how to cook. The kitchen was covered in a layer of dust, and it was obvious that it had not been used for a long time.
Lu Li guessed that his mentor might not be here for long.
The so-called laboratory was located in the middle of Gahrona's Tower, and it was filled with pots and jars. This was probably the only place in the tower that was relatively clean. There were some mechanical units processing medicinal ingredients, and one of them was the mechanical dog that led Lu Li here.
"From now on, take some time out every day to practice Poison Making," Gahrona said. "I know you're busy, but there's no time for you to slowly work."
Lu Li calculated his future in-game life, such as competitions and dungeons, and reluctantly nodded. The next topic was Gahrona's explanation of Poison Making. After listening, Lu Li suddenly realized that there was no recipe for Poison Making.
No recipe?
"How is that possible?"
"There is indeed no recipe, and from now on, you can only use your own poison to fight," Gahrona said.
"Alchemy has a recipe, and we can use other people's potions …"
"That's Alchemy, and you're no longer an Alchemist. But don't worry, you can still use Alchemy products. Other than poisons, Poison Masters can't use other people's poisons. I never use poisons made by other people in the organization, even if those things have a little bit of merit."
Lu Li could no longer hear anything. He only felt his head buzzing.
If he couldn't use poisons, his combat power would decrease by at least 20%. More importantly, some System poisons would lose their effects, such as speed reduction and damage reduction poisons that could halve an enemy's healing.
Originally, he thought that taking the risk to kill a level 65 Boss would greatly increase his strength. In fact, it did increase his strength by quite a bit. At the very least, he had two Enhanced Gouge skill books lying in his backpack, so all his efforts were not in vain. But why did this happen in the end?
"May I ask how I should learn?" Lu Li took a deep breath. Now wasn't the time to turn hostile. The most important thing was that he couldn't beat his teacher.
"It's very simple. Take those herbs and mix them together," Gahrona seemed to feel that her words were too perfunctory, so she added, "It's best to start with some of the more common herbs. You may need more practice before you can use high-grade herbs."
"Respected teacher, I have a strong enemy to deal with. Can I get some poison from you in advance? I'm willing to pay a certain price."
"I'm afraid I can't help you. If I were you, I'd start practicing now."
