Soul echo

Chapter 208 Detection

After getting relevant information from Zhong Ye and successfully triggering the mission, Lilian left the room with a confident smile.

Zhong Ye watched her leave, took out two packs of 'Butterflies' from the bag in the corner, put them in the backpack, and followed her out.

"Zhong, are you going out?"

After walking down the stairs, Zhong Ye was greeted by many people.

The pronunciation of his name is difficult for people from the Westland. After knowing that 'Zhong' is his surname, people unanimously choose to call him by his surname.

Zhong Ye replied casually, rejected the invitations of other adventurers, opened the door and walked out of the adventurer's house.

He glanced left and right, tightened the straps of his backpack, took a step forward, and blended into the crowd.

Yesterday, he had confirmed the location of an alchemy shop, and now he wanted to take that pack of 'Butterfly' to test it.

As early as in Annecy, Zhong Ye had this idea, but there were no large-scale alchemy shops in the previous few cities, if they were asked to test, they might not be careful enough.

Zhong Ye followed the crowd and came to the door of an alchemy shop, bowed his head and walked in.

The apprentice standing at the front desk was lying on his stomach bored, when suddenly he saw the door was dark, looked up, and saw a figure that looked like a giant walking into the store, his heart tensed immediately, but when he saw the appearance of that 'giant' After that, he let go of his high-pitched heart.

The apprentice stood up with a smile on his face, "Hi customer, do you want to buy something?"

"I want you to help me test something." After speaking, Zhong Ye walked to the front desk and took out the bag of hallucinogens from his backpack.

The apprentice took the cloth bag and smelled a stench, and frowned slightly.

He carefully opened a corner of the cloth bag with two fingers, and after seeing the contents inside, a shocked expression appeared on his face.

"Do you know what this is?" Zhong Ye caught the apprentice's shock and asked directly.

"You, you, you..." The apprentice put down the corner of the cloth bag in his hand, looked at Zhong Ye, and then pointed to the cloth bag, "Why do you have this thing? And you brought it here with us What test..."

"I'm tracking down hallucinogen dealers now." Zhong Ye folded his arms, "I want you to help me test, when this thing was produced, I don't know if it's feasible."

"You, I..."

The apprentice scratched his hair in distress, and was about to refuse when he saw the 'giant' opposite him take out a money bag and put it on the table.

The mouth of the bag was opened, allowing him to see that it was full of coins, and his slightly opened mouth closed instantly.

"...I, I'm going to ask the teacher for instructions!"

As he said that, the apprentice turned around and opened the door between several shelves, and when he was about to enter, he turned his head and warned: "Don't try to steal anything in the store, I remember everything, no matter which one is missing, I will find it! "

Zhong Ye didn't speak, and the apprentice took him as his acquiescence, turned around and walked through the door.

That apprentice recognized 'Flower Butterfly', indicating that he had been exposed to hallucinogens...

Although I just had some ideas, it was right to come to the alchemy shop because of this, and there might be some clues here.

Zhong Ye stood in front of the counter and waited silently. He heard the movement behind that door, and knew that the owner of the shop was walking towards the door, and he was still teaching his apprentices a lesson along the way.

It sounds like the alchemist didn't want to be exposed to hallucinogens, it's just that the money he was offering was too much.

——A purse full of gold and silver coins, even if you can only get half of it, that's a lot!
The footsteps were approaching quickly, and not long after, a thin middle-aged man wearing glasses walked out with the apprentice.

His face was tense, as if he wanted to appear serious and arrogant, but he didn't know that Zhong Ye had heard all his lectures in the tunnel just now.

The alchemist walked behind the counter and glanced at the cloth bag on the table, "Your stuff? I heard you're hunting down hallucinogen dealers?"

"Yes." Zhong Ye nodded, "I want to know when these 'Butterflies' were produced, can it be done?"

The alchemist picked up the cloth bag, picked up a handful of crumbs, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and twisted it again.

"Yes, yes, but the price is not low." The alchemist quickly glanced at the purse.

"Twenty gold coins." Zhong Ye said lightly.

The apprentice standing behind the alchemist lowered his head, his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, and even the alchemist himself couldn't help taking a deep breath.

His psychological price is ten coins... How could he think that this person would pay twenty coins as soon as he opened his mouth?

Are all the adventurers now so rich and powerful?

"... Cough! Come in with me!"

The alchemist turned around and walked into the back door. Zhong Ye picked up the money bag, bypassed the counter, and walked in.

After passing through a not-so-long passage, Zhong Ye followed the alchemist to his alchemy workshop.

Although the workshop covers a large area, it is filled with all kinds of equipment, so that it looks quite crowded.

Besides the alchemist himself, there are two other apprentices active here.

One is an ordinary human, and the other is a cat person.

The intelligence of ordinary cat people is naturally inferior to that of human beings, but each race has special cases. When the intellectual defects of cat people are filled, their strong body coordination, keen sense of smell and intuition can become a powerful help .

Moreover, the cat people still have an inexhaustible curiosity. Under the trend of curiosity, they are extremely good apprentices of mages and alchemists.

"I need to use up all these hallucinogens."

The alchemist looked back at Zhong Ye vigilantly. Although Zhong Ye said that he was tracking down the whereabouts of the hallucinogen dealer, the hallucinogen should not be left behind anyway.

There are a lot of contraband in his workshop, not the level of 'hallucinogens', but as long as they are discovered, there will be certain troubles.

This adventurer can pay so much money, maybe he is a hallucinogen dealer himself!

——The hallucinogen dealer can also track other hallucinogen dealers. After killing others, he can occupy the market?
So this bag of hallucinogens can't be kept, lest I implicate myself.

Zhong Ye shook his head, "It's okay, I just want to know when this thing was produced."

The alchemist frowned, looked at Zhong Ye a few more times, and then turned around, calling his two apprentices, and prepared to test this pack of hallucinogens.

Zhong Ye stood far away and didn't go over to watch, so although the alchemist was a little suspicious, he still withdrew his attention and poured his heart into the work in hand.

After working for more than ten minutes, the alchemist put down the tools in his hand and announced the result: "The production time of these hallucinogens was three months ago—these hallucinogens were dried and made into hallucinogens three months ago. I don't know when it will mature."

"Three months ago..." Zhong Ye was thoughtful.

He looked at the pile of dregs settled in the flask, took out twenty gold coins from his purse, and put them on a table beside him.

"I'll put the money here." After paying, he took advantage of the alchemist's physical and mental pleasure, and asked, "If I catch the hallucinogen dealers and get other hallucinogens from them, will you still pay?" Can you help me check?"

The alchemist was stunned, "...Yes! If you ask me to test again, I will give you a discount. Fifteen gold coins are enough!"

Speaking of which, he himself felt a little guilty.

This price was higher than the bids of other alchemists. He was a little afraid that this adventurer would know that he had been deceived... What if this guy was going to smash his shop?
"it is good."

Zhong Ye nodded, turned and left.

He brought the bag of hallucinogens from Annecy, and it has been nearly a month since his actions in Annecy, that is to say, in Annecy, the bag of hallucinogens is still in the hands of those hallucinogen dealers At the time, two months had passed since it was made into a hallucinogen.

——In that bag of hallucinogens, he mixed a few copies of the "Butterfly" sold by ordinary hallucinogen dealers, but they were all detected in "three months", that is to say, these are from the same batch .

There is also a pack of 'Butterflies' in his backpack, which he brought out from Bulger.

It was also mixed up a few copies, and next, he wanted to find another alchemist to test it.

After that, he will act according to the plan, track down the hallucinogen dealers in Lyon, attract attention, and seize the hallucinogen from them by the way for testing.

I hope that the results of these tests can bring him a 'surprise'!
