Chapter 41 Charm Potion (1)(1/2)
"The child suddenly started to scream. The emperor was not wearing any clothes at all. So in this way, the trick of the liar was revealed..."
In the warm room, the story telling scenes are still being staged every night.
After talking about "the emperor's new clothes", according to convention, we need to discuss and answer the many reasons Avril asked.
But this time, Avril did not ask a question immediately, but lay on the soft big bed and fell into long thoughts.
"Xuyi, is every powerless person deceived by his servants?"
“…Yes, it’s just a different degree.”
"This is what you mean by gain and loss, right?"
"Yes, when you are high, power will blind your eyes and prevent you from seeing many things. You will be deceived, deceived, and surrounded by lies. The biggest difference between a good emperor and a poor emperor is perhaps that he can tell what is a lie and what is the truth."
Avril fell silent.
As if she remembered something, she murmured: "My mother is the queen of the empire. She always thinks she is the most beautiful woman. The maids and servants around her always say so. But her father is always very cold to her. She tried hard to dress herself up, trying to let her father pay more attention to her, but the result..."
Avril flashed his eyes, and tears fell like crystals: "Actually, she is old and can't be beautiful anymore, right?"
"Yes." Gong Hao nodded.
"The maids are lying, are they?"
"...Yes Avril, they are lying. They dare not tell the truth because they are afraid that your mother will not accept the truth that she is already old."
"I feel so uncomfortable. It turns out that I have always lived in lies." Avril got into the quilt sadly and covered her head with the quilt.
Gong Hao gently lifted the quilt, looked at the little face full of tears, and said gently: "You are much happier than your mother, because you have at least one friend, and he will not deceive you."
Avril blinked his bright big eyes and stared at Gong Hao: "Did you say you will never lie to me?"
Gong Hao thought for a while and replied: "Avril, you must know that there are many kinds of lies. Some are kind, some are malicious, some are for their own interests, and some are forced to helplessness. If you ask me if I will never lie to you, then I can only answer you. I will try my best to protect you and not hurt you. Maybe I will hide something from you in the future, and maybe there will be good deception, but no matter what, I will not let you live in a lie like your servants because of fearing you."
Avril sighed: "I think it's nothing better to be a princess now."
"Well, as a princess, you may lose some of the happiness of civilians, but you will not have the troubles of civilians. You cannot get everything, this is inevitable. When you understand this principle, you have grown up."
"Yes, I get it."
Avril smiled secretly, as if she was reminded of her performance when she first came to the island.
Gong Hao felt that Avril is really much better now than when he first met.
"Xuyi, do you think I look good?"
“Yes, you’re beautiful.”
"The truth?"
"I really want to say that you are ugly to prove that I dare to tell the truth. But I really cannot blaspheme the most outstanding creation of this god. And that is the real lie."
"Your flattery skills are much better than those servants." The little princess giggled.
"Even the truth can be said very well, of course, just for you."
The little princess stuck out her tongue. It seemed that half of her discomfort just now was because she suspected that the praises of her beauty by the servants for her are lies, but now she has confirmed it from Gong Hao's mouth, and it feels naturally different.
She became a little twisted.
"Okay, don't be sad." Gong Hao smiled and said, "I think I have good news to tell you."
"What is good news?" Avril always excited her when she knew Gong Hao's good news.
"Maybe I can make your mother more favored by your father."
"You mean..."
"You know the beauty potion. But it can only prevent aging and not increase the charm of women. I think maybe I can develop a better potion, I call it charm potion. Of course, this is all for you, and I hope you can keep the secret..."
Avril bit his lower lip tightly and looked at Gong Hao with a slightly slanted look. This look was full of temptation. She whispered: "Xuyi, you are so good."
Gong Hao patted her little hand: "But I need someone to help me. How about lending me a maid? I have to use the potion on her to verify the effect. You know, the result of alchemy may be beautiful, but the process is always cruel. I don't want to do experiments on you."
Avril nodded desperately.
She shaking the bell.
A beautiful maid walked in.
"Isadora, Shuyeglaer's alchemy test requires a maid. I'll lend you to him for the time being. From today on, you will obey his command. You can do whatever he asks you to do. Do you understand?" In addition to being gentle to Gong Hao, Avril faces other servants most of the time, and he is full of majestic orders, and he does not allow servants to resist her will. This huge difference makes Gong Hao feel a little strange.
"Yes, Your Highness, Princess." The maid replied on her knees and then hurriedly retreated.
"Okay, the story is over. You can rest early. I'm going to go back to bed too. There are still many things to do tomorrow." Gong Hao said to Avril.
"Oh, Xiuyi, I can't bear to leave." Avril pulled Gong Hao and refused to let go.
"Okay, Avril, I have to leave. I have to make some fireworks for you before going to bed. God knows that you have set off all the fireworks in one day. I said you can set them up when you are lonely and bored."
"I've always been lonely without your time."
Avril's answer moved Gong Hao a little.
He pinched Avril's soft little hand and stood up and left.
He could feel the reluctant gaze behind him.
He gently closed the door, and the maid named Isadora was still waiting at the door.
Gong Hao said to her: "Come to my laboratory in the Alchemy Tower tomorrow morning. You will know what you should do."
"Yes, sir."
The maid answered.
Master? What a fresh name, Gong Hao couldn't help but be stunned.
When did I become known as an adult?
He looked around carefully and then realized that, as well as servants and maids, the eyes of almost all the servants and maids, looked at them, were extraordinary.
No one dares to regard Gong Hao as a lowly servant or an ordinary apprentice anymore.
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Gong Hao quickly left.
Back in his room, Gong Hao calmed down and devoted himself to work again.
However, it was not to make fireworks for Avril, but to conduct research on flesh and blood puppets.
After seeing the illusion brought by the troll god that day, he realized that Electra might have used elemental shock to complete the production of flesh and blood puppets.
He must pass repeated experiments to prove his conjecture.
Tonight is the 28th test.
Carefully moving a ball of soul energy into the soul magic bead, Gong Hao began to meditate.
Through meditation, the energy induction of elementals is stimulated, and after resonance is generated, the soul energy is adjusted to the level of elemental oscillation, and then the energy in the magic bead is fixed to the same rhythm through some alchemy means.
Electra is using magicians to complete alchemy. In a sense, this completely deviates from the original intention of the invention of alchemy. It is no wonder that the alchemists cannot recast Electra's glory.
After all, no alchemist has the talent to practice magic.
Under the action of meditation, the soul energy in the Dharma bead began to show a shock reaction like the bead of the troll god, like boiling water, constantly boiling and rolling in the beads.
Gong Hao carefully adjusted his rhythm and sensed changes in magic power. He could clearly feel that in this alchemy process, his ability to sense elements increased significantly, and a trace of magic power entered his body, bringing him an unprecedented feeling of pleasure.
Success!
Gong Hao was ecstatic.
He finally understood why Electra was engaged in alchemy as a magician.
It turns out that he is not only alchemy, but also practicing magic.
By resonating with the soul energy, you can not only create a powerful puppet, but even greatly enhance your elemental sensing ability. This is a killing two birds with one stone!
Electra, you are such a genius. He undoubtedly invented a way to practice magic power similar to the ultimate exercise method of warriors.
And the effect is even better and will not be terminated due to excessive fatigue.
After the violent elemental shock, the energy in the magic bead gradually subsided, and the slightest soul aura began to escape to the outside. Gong Hao knew that he had not yet invented a method that could effectively confine the soul energy. Obviously, this part belongs to the category of alchemy.
However, it should not be difficult to solve the problem in this regard, and Hines probably can do it.
As long as the problem of increasing soul strength is solved, it is equivalent to solving the problem of improving the combat power of flesh and blood puppets and soul selection, and increasing the soul strength through elemental shock. This genius method is probably only Electra can do it.
Although this was only his first success and it had to be repeated to confirm that it was feasible, Gong Hao believed that this was no longer a problem. In a few days, he could report the results to Hines.
After breathing a long sigh of relief, Gong Hao felt a splitting headache.
It turns out that using this method to increase the strength of the magic power to exercise the soul will also have certain sequelae, but fortunately, it should be fine as long as you sleep for a night.
This is the most relaxed and sweetest sleep he has ever had since studied the flesh and blood puppet.
In the dream, he found himself saving all the teenagers, and then took them away from Purgatory Island and lived a free life.
Perhaps it was because of the fact that there were too many fairy tales, Gong Hao himself felt that all this seemed like a fairy tale.
The next morning, Isadora came to Gong Hao's laboratory.
"Sir, do you have any instructions?"
