Mercenary Wars

Chapter 35 Sislon Potion

The first attempt ended in failure.

The liquid in the thin glass bottle was still cloudy, but it was slightly blue.

According to the records in the "Blood Law Notes", this failed product also has some strengthening effects, but the side effects are much more serious, and even the most crazy adventurers are reluctant to use it.

After some reflection, Gao Jianuo poured the failed product into the waste liquid bucket and continued to try.

After several attempts.

Gao Jianuo once again recited the simple activation spell.

Then, a burst of colorful light appeared between his hands, and the turbid liquid in the thin glass bottle turned into pure blue with slight vibrations.

Become!

Gao Jianuo's eyes lit up and he put the thin glass bottle in front of his eyes to observe it.

This is a pseudo potion used to enhance intelligence.

According to his estimation, such a bottle of pseudo mixture can probably increase intelligence by 1 point and shorten lifespan by 5%.

Is it worth it? It depends on the individual.

For a young, foolish person, converting part of his lifespan into intelligence is clearly a good deal, but for a wise, elderly person, such a deal is a huge loss.

Gao Jianuo took out a little of the pseudo mixture and touched it with his fingers.

[Item: Intelligence Enhancement Pseudo-Mixture]

[Level: Level 2]

A typical potion, although appearing to be a whole, is usually still a series of independently existing ingredients in the panel display.

The mixture is different. After the first-level spell "Simple Activation", several materials no longer exist independently, but are fused into a new substance. Therefore, the panel shows "Intelligence Enhancement Pseudo-Mixture" instead of Warcraft Blood, Silverleaf Grass, and Whispering Wood.

After putting away the bottle of fake mixture with satisfaction, Gao Jianuo continued to work hard and continued to make it.

After a few days of production, all the materials he bought were made into pseudo mixtures, a total of sixteen bottles, four bottles of each pseudo mixture.

The four pseudo mixtures have different colors, with constitution, strength, intelligence, and agility corresponding to yellow, red, blue, and light cyan respectively.

Carrying these sixteen bottles of fake mixture, Gao Jianuo went to the slums.

When he arrived at an empty street corner, he took out a loose grey robe from his storage ring and put it on, then took out a small bottle of Warcraft bull blood.

He dipped his hand in some of the bull's blood, drew a few symbols on his face, and then began to recite the first-level spell of blood disguise.

Blood Disguise is an upgraded version of the blood magic of Disguise. It uses blood as the casting material. The camouflage effect is much stronger than ordinary Disguise and is close to a second-level spell.

After a few seconds, the spell was completed.

Gao Jianuo's image has changed completely. His body has expanded by half a circle and his facial features are completely different.

He took out a mirror and looked at himself, frowning slightly.

A bit like a minotaur...

He couldn't find any suitable human blood, so he had to use monster blood as the material for the spell. After all, it was just a disguise, so the appearance was not important.

Gao Jianuo put on a mask again to cover his strange face, which made him look like a burly anonymous man rather than a minotaur.

Wearing this image, he came to the Raven Inn and showed the black gold certificate to the hotel waiter in the corner, just like Ryan did last time.

The waiter glanced at the Black Gold Certificate and, without questioning, made way. Gao Jianuo arrived at the Thieves Guild shortly thereafter and headed straight to the Black Gold Corridor, where he stood before the "Strong Medicine Expert" booth.

"Buy or sell?" the drastic medicine expert asked. After several months and the effects of the blood-disguised spell, she clearly had no recollection of Gao Jianuo.

This time, Gao Jianuo's answer was very straightforward. He took out sixteen bottles of fake mixture and said, "Sell!"

Looking at the four colors of fake mixtures, the medicine expert's tone was slightly surprised: "What kind of medicine are these?"

Gao Jianuo explained: "It is an unclassified potion originating from an ancient alien race. It can permanently strengthen the user. Of course, it is not a mixture, so its strengthening comes at a price. Specifically, it shortens lifespan."

He thought for a moment and said, "It's a bit like the Lion King's Power Potion or the Magic Essence Potion, but the effect is stronger."

The strong medicine expert took out a doll, opened a bottle of pseudo-strength mixture, and dripped a drop on the doll's head.

Then she performed a magic trick, and a faint light flashed from the little man.

"It does have the effect you described. However, how strong the effect is will only be known after someone actually tries it." She thought for a moment and said, "For these sixteen bottles of potion, I can give you an advance price of two silver coins per bottle. If they sell well, I will compensate you for the difference and we can form a long-term partnership. What do you think?"

Gao Jianuo: "How long will it take you to sell all sixteen bottles of potion?"

"If everything goes well, it will be done in a few days, and at the latest it should not exceed half a month," said the drastic medicine expert.

"Okay," Gao Jianuo agreed. The other party's stall was a long-term stall with expensive rent, so they wouldn't run away for such a small amount of money.

The strong medicine expert suddenly remembered: "Oh, what are the names of these medicines?"

Gao Jianuo was stunned for a moment, and after a brief thought, he said, "Sislon potion!"

"Sislon?" The expert on strong medicine had obviously never heard of this name, and his tone was full of doubt.

"This is the language of the alien race, and it means 'top medicine.'" Gao Jianuo explained seriously, "Yellow Sith Dragon can make a person physically strong, red Sith Dragon can make a person strong and powerful, blue Sith Dragon can make a person wise, and cyan Sith Dragon can make a person swift."

The drastic medicine expert nodded thoughtfully.

The two men exchanged a few more words, and Gao Jianuo accepted the thirty-two silver coins and left.

Then he came to the stall of "The Complete Forbidden Books" and pointed at a few scrolls and asked, "How much is the Yemen Divine Art scroll for healing?"

"Twenty silver coins."

"I want two."

After buying two healing scrolls, Gao Jianuo came to Ryan's stall again - mainly to try the effect of blood disguise.

Ryan obviously didn't recognize him. He leaned against the wall and asked in a nonchalant, working-class tone, "What information do you want to sell?"

Gao Jianuo thought for a moment and asked, "Dibuto and Presto, which country's intelligence is more valuable?"

"The latest is the Presto County." Ryan said.

"Then I'll come back later." Gao Jianuo said and slipped away, leaving Ryan frowning.

It turns out that blood disguise is quite powerful. The appearance and voice are changed impeccably. Moreover, due to the change in body shape, details such as walking posture also change accordingly, making it impossible for even acquaintances to recognize it.

Half a month later, Gao Jianuo came to the Black Gold Corridor again with the same image and found the expert in strong medicine.

When the strong medicine expert saw him, he immediately said excitedly, "Your medicine is selling very well, especially the yellow Sislon and the red Sislon!"

As he spoke, he took out a heavy small purse and handed it to Gao Jianuo: "This is the payment for your goods. Please count it."
