The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 384: Transaction between 2 people
Nicholas II used the spells of the Imperial School with high expectations, roughly tested the efficacy of the potion, and then quickly showed a disappointed expression.
"...This becomes specialization in elemental creatures again."
He sat down very annoyed: "This time I ran even further than last time..."
Forget it, let’s memorize the recipe first.
It’s rare that the degree of completion is so high this time.
"How to name it? Well, forget it..."
Nicholas II thought for a while, then took out a piece of tape and wrote "No. 23 Poisonous Dust - Limited Elemental Creature - Concentration 289% - Adhesion Rate 64%."
After he finished writing the recipe, he took out a small portion with a spoon and wrapped it on the paper. He wrote "Sample No. 23" on the paper package and placed it in a heavy obsidian book that looked somewhat like a photo album.
"But I'm a little tired..."
Nicholas II removed the barrier, sat back on the chair and murmured softly.
Although this part of mysterious knowledge is not like God's real name, it will be forgotten once used. But even a gold-level soul will feel obvious fatigue after using it.
If you are at Silver level or below, you may not be able to suppress the power of mysterious knowledge and use it to produce influence and hallucinations. It is even possible to be directly burned by it.
Mysterious knowledge has its weight, after all.
Using occult knowledge causes fatigue to the soul, just like carrying heavy objects.
"You can't rest yet."
Behind him, the stone statue with frowning eyes and a depressed expression suddenly spoke calmly: "Meditate for a while before continuing."
"...Seriously, is it really impossible to get demon blood?"
"Can't get it."
Father Shi calmly replied: "The situation with Noah is getting more and more tense now, and you can't go out. Otherwise, you are likely to get involved in some troublesome incident."
"How much more trouble can there be..."
Nicholas II sighed.
——How can it be more troublesome than my current situation?
Tiantian is locked up here, absorbing the power of Noah's earth veins to construct rituals. If you want to go out and relax, you have to meditate and then use your soul to go out...
That’s all.
As an artificial human, this is his mission.
"Then I can use my soul state?"
"Okay. Just don't get discovered."
"I won't be discovered when I go out..."
"This is different."
Father Shi replied briefly.
Nicholas II knew that he would not get an answer if he continued to ask.
So he simply gave up asking, and quickly sat in front of the chair and began to meditate to regain his energy.
His crystal-clear soul, with an orange outer shell and a gentle fire burning inside, stood up from his chair.
"I'm going out for a walk."
He glanced at Father Shi, bowed politely to him and left the room.
——If you want to relieve the pressure on your soul, you must let your soul temporarily leave your body. Anyway, a gold-level soul will not be seen casually...even if it goes out for a walk, it doesn't matter.
Although it is not clear why Father Stone has not allowed him to go out...but as Nicholas's artificial human, he can only survive because "Nicholas is dead."
From the beginning, Nicholas had no intention of sharing the technology for creating artificial humans. Only his own soul could make such an initiative; and those artificial humans were also placed under special restrictions by Nicholas.
Artificial beings cannot create or synthesize the Philosopher's Stone, nor can they create new artificial beings. Even Nicholas II, who was born as a self-replicating artificial being of Nicholas himself, would not be able to break through this limitation.
If artificial humans want to expand their population, they can only reproduce in the same way as other animals.
Everything is obvious.
From the beginning, Nicholas planned to become the king of artificial humans...or the **** of artificial humans.
...But it is precisely because of this that Nicholas II was allowed to survive.
——Because a single artificial human cannot continue the population.
From this point of view, perhaps "Nicholas II" was Nicholas who considered that he might die, so he left a "backup" to inherit all his talents without being executed.
Considering Nicholas' talent and wisdom, this arrangement is also very possible.
"...huh?"
As soon as Nicholas II left the basement, he vaguely felt that his soul was being touched by something.
He was a little curious, but not wary or afraid at all.
He immediately flew over at high speed.
Although he cannot refine the Philosopher's Stone, he has inherited all of Nicholas's strength and experience, and is even much younger than Nicholas himself. Even against ordinary gold-level extraordinary beings, Nicholas II could easily defeat three with one hand.
This is the absolute suppression of time accumulation and wisdom.
And Nicholas II followed the feeling that touched his soul and flew to a large and luxuriously decorated hotel.
The floors of this hotel are covered with hand-woven wool carpets, paintings by famous painters are hung on the walls, and small sculptures are placed between rooms. Even the chandeliers are crystal chandeliers inlaid with gold. The decoration in the room is also far more luxurious than that of ordinary local viscounts. There is even a bookshelf full of books in every room, as well as free high-quality daily necessities.
This is a top-notch hotel specially designed for out-of-town nobles and big businessmen, as well as foreign dignitaries who come to Noah via the subway.
For a hotel, this is a decoration that is definitely worthy of pride, and the quality of their service staff is definitely comparable to it. Only in the royal capital can it be afforded.
But Nicholas II frowned slightly.
In his opinion, this is just a common thing.
It's all a waste.
If the broken gems embedded in the wall are ground into gem powder and used to make magical potions or charm potions, the price can increase twenty times;
The statues of these historical celebrities contain "frozen historical atmosphere", which can be used in rituals to talk to people in the past, or to modify nightmare positioning points based on influence;
He can use the crystals and gold on each chandelier to make a holy shield that can withstand the strike of a silver-level destructive wizard - even the furniture made of high-quality wood is in his opinion It's all a waste.
These woods are not the most suitable for making furniture. They were valued because they could be used in rituals after being treated, not because of their superior quality as wood in their own right.
...What a collection of waste.
Based on this feeling of disgust, Nicholas II could not help but feel a little contempt for another person he had not yet met.
——But this contempt quickly dissipated when seeing each other.
Sitting in the room is a spirit that has lost its head.
Yes, lost his head.
He sat securely in his seat, only his head was blank. And you can constantly see the light concentrating on the head, regenerating at an extremely slow speed.
"...are you?"
Nicholas II asked politely.
The other party made a warm and kind voice: "You can call me Bernardino.
"I know who you are...I know your father."
"...but my father doesn't know you."
Nicholas II searched his memory silently, and responded coldly and vigilantly.
He did not remember that Nicholas knew the man in front of him.
The headless old man just laughed and said nothing.
He just said calmly: "To get straight to the point, I hope to get the formula for the 'Philosopher's Stone of the Hermetic School'."
"Impossible."
Nicholas II immediately objected, and then he was about to turn around and leave.
But when he turned around, Bernardino said from behind: "Do you know about your father?"
"...what?"
"——Nicholas Flamel, son of Hermes. The greatest alchemist in the world...a sage who completed the great deeds of the gods in a human body."
Bernardino said slowly.
He "looked" at Nicholas II and answered.
"He actually didn't die back then...did you know?"
Nicholas II was silent for a long time, then turned back and looked at Bernardino silently.
Headless Bernardino chuckled.
"I can first teach you the manufacturing formula of 'Artificial Soul' ~IndoMTL.com~ as a deposit."
The headless old man said slowly: "This is something that Nicholas Flamel invented in recent years. If you go back and study it, you will know that this is Nicholas' style, but it is not in your memory. .
"If you ever want to hand over the refining technology of the Philosopher's Stone to me, come here to find me again."
——I'm always here.
——I'm waiting for you.
Bernardino's empty head looked vainly at Nicholas II.
Nicholas II was silent for a long time, neither agreeing nor refusing. He just stood there, as if waiting for something.
Then Bernardino laughed again and began to slowly tell the formula for "artificial soul".
He is confident...
I won't wait here too long.
