Chapter 162
Donald looked at the quaint old scroll in his hand. The paper did look old, but it had nothing to do with whether it was a wizard scroll or not.
When Donald was in Preston City, Donald had seen a Rare Item forger who could even forge Rare Item, not to mention scrolls of this type. , the easiest way is to test it.
“The Burning Hand… the name sounds really difficult to deal with, where did you buy it?”
Looking at the content on the scroll, Shit doesn’t make sense, this so-called spell scroll actually just draws an array, and then writes some messy words on it. There is no description of the casting action, no description of the spirit strength requirements, and no description of the application and manipulation of spell.
Donald has a few spell scrolls in his hand. This kind of thing is just like what Jazz said at the time. It can only deceive these people who don’t know anything, and dare to take it out in front of the real wizard. , I am afraid to be educated.
This one is not just in name only, but also in reality. Donald can’t directly say that this spell scroll is fake at first glance, so he can only follow his words.
“Antique market, I just bought it last night. The seller said it was handed down from the ancestors. He couldn’t understand the content on it. Recently, his family was in trouble, so he had to sell it as a last resort.”
>
“Oh…”
This method is too old, aren’t you a professor? Can’t even see such a thing?
In fact, this kind of market routine is really useful to deal with this kind of people.
“Do you think it’s genuine?”
“Instead of asking me, who doesn’t know anything about this, why didn’t the professor do some testing on it? There are so many instruments in the lab , there is always something that can be used to detect the authenticity of this type of scroll, such as its paper material or when the writing on the scroll was written.”
Donald can only give advice, Cook Pretentiously, he picked up the scroll and went downstairs.
Wait for Donald to come downstairs and see Cook stuffing a hand-held hexagonal jar into the back of a strange machine that looks like a mechanical drill bit, except that the tip is not an iron bit, but It is a small round ball extending from a silver iron rod.
The reel was flattened on the test bench by him, and then the round ball was aligned with the part with the writing, and the button on the base of the machine was pressed. Donald found that the hexagonal body was inserted before the north A few small indicator lights next to where the jars were lit up green, and then the whole machine began to hum slightly.
“Fake..”
It didn’t take long to hear Professor Cook’s disappointment to himself. Donald walked to the side and bent down and glanced at the surface of the scroll. Part of the handwriting appeared on it. blurred.
“If the scroll is really old, the ink on it will never dissolve so quickly after a long period of air-drying and storage. There is only one possibility. These words were added by someone recently, that person. Lie to me!”
Cook put away the scroll and wanted to toss it directly into the trash can next to it.
“Professor, won’t you go and refund the money?”
“I don’t want to see that guy…and he said the goods were sold and not refundable .”
“Professor, on the premise that the goods are genuine, he took a fake and told you that it was true, and he breached the contract first. How much did you spend on buying this spell scroll?”
” p>
Goods are sold without return or exchange. The underground market in Preston also has this rule, but it depends on who the buyer is. Cook is a professor of Imperial Family DeLorean, and his social status is higher than that of selling fake goods. I don’t know how much higher, as long as you show your identity, I am afraid that the other party will return the money without the slightest hesitation.
“10 gold pounds, or else, Donald, you help me return it, how much can I get back, and you take half, how about it? If you can teach that bastard a lesson, you will take all the money It doesn’t matter if you walk.”
Professor Cook is obviously a rich man, and 10 gold pounds is not an unbearable loss for him. Quan should be lost on the road, but he cheated on that person. I am still a little angry about myself.
“Can you tell me in detail where the man is?”
Donald is still very interested in the 10 pounds.
I put aside the troublesome thing for now. Donald, who came out of the laboratory, went straight to the shared laboratory in the Academy, showed his teaching assistant’s certificate, and unexpectedly learned that the equipment here was being prepared in detail. Under the premise of registration, it is actually possible to borrow it, as long as it is guaranteed that it will not be lost or damaged when it is returned.
This is undoubtedly a great convenience for Donald. He followed some steps in the notes on the spot, took a considerable part of the equipment, and took the time to ask the administrator for such a set of equipment on the market. How much is it, the reply is that it is 8 gold pounds on the premise of not buying any substitutes, which are only the most basic tools.
Like the equipment in Professor Cook’s laboratory, if you take out any one, it costs upwards of 20 gold pounds.
Go back to your room, clear all the things on the desk beside the bed, put the utensils on it one by one, and then take out a small suitcase from under the bed, most of which are in it. It is a small jar that contains the materials needed to configure Moonlight Ink.
“Evening primrose powder, mix with water, the ratio is 1:3, cook until the water turns light brown, add the ground root powder…”
Moonlight ink Donald has already written down the process in a simplified way on his notes. Step by step, the process is very time-consuming, and the result is not satisfactory. Donald’s operations will always be slow due to unfamiliar techniques or wrong sequence, resulting in the final The finished product becomes a pile of black powder or transparent liquid.
But Donald was not frustrated by this. The first attempt, failure was allowed, and the Clock Meditation Method helped him to calm down and relax his emotions.
Take off your jacket, wear only a shirt, and unbutton a few buttons on the top to keep yourself in the most relaxed state.
Boil the evening primrose powder, the water is light brown, add the root grass powder, stir until dark brown, take it out and let it stand… The previous failures made Donald more and more grasp of the timing Mature, watching the color of the liquid in the beaker constantly change, and finally settled on a light gray viscous liquid, a thin layer of sweat floated on Donald’s forehead.
Put the beaker in front of you, and drop the last of the green grass juice into it. In an instant, the liquid in the entire beaker emits a silver white light, and then a small small beaker appears under Donald’s gaze. vortex.
Starting from the bottom of the vortex, the liquid gradually appeared with a white moon, and it continued to spread upward until all the liquid showed this state, and the vortex finally dissipated.
Moonlight ink, finished!
“Huh… I finally succeeded in part, otherwise this time will be a big loss.”
At this time, Donald looked at the iron pot next to him. It was only when the failed products were abandoned that he began to fear. He spent 10 gold pounds to buy back the materials of these moonlight inks. If they didn’t succeed once, the money was simply wasted, because the waste has no probability of being reused.
The first success, Donald hurriedly continued to make while his hands were hot, until there was a knock at the door, Donald put in the last portion of the green grass, and then suddenly woke up from the state of concentrated attention completely come over.
All 12 materials were consumed, and the final product was only 3 bottles. Later, the success rate of inscription production is estimated to be lower, and another round of consumption…
“Who?”
He asked towards the door, who would come to him at this time?
“We are the other teaching assistants living in this apartment. You are Professor Cook’s teaching assistant, right? Do you have time to get to know me?”
Today is Donald’s number one During the day at work, Cook specially introduced Donald in front of his students to facilitate the communication of future affairs, and other teaching assistants probably also heard from the students.
Donald got up from his chair and opened the door only to find that there were many people standing at the door, 3 women and 2 men, all youngsters.
“Hello…what’s the matter? ?”
After saying hello, Donald found that the expressions of several people were all a bit strange, so he couldn’t help asking.
The girls who knocked on the door before stared blankly at Donald standing by the door, and their strange eyes were naturally because of Donald’s current image.
The loose shirt, the small half of his chest and collarbone exposed, the state of concentration of his whole body made his face very serious at this time, and his eyes were also shining.
This state is combined with his handsome face and mysterious temperament as a wizard. The three girls in front of the door have invariably seen a deer jumping randomly, breathing faster, Hot face.
“Sorry, I was exercising in the room before, so I took off my coat, rude…what’s the matter with you?”
Donald noticed his situation , bowed his head and buttoned the button on his chest, the eyes of several girls were full of pity again.
“Do you want to go to dinner together?”
The girl in the lead is not tall, but she has a big heart, and her thoughts blurted out.
“en?”
Donald deliberately looked at the clock on the wall when he opened the door. It was 1:00 pm. Although lunch has not been eaten, it should be past. .
“No, no…I just wanted to ask if you would like to have dinner with you later, you are new here, there must be a lot of ignorance about the situation here, I I’ve been here for two years and can give you a lot of advice.”
“It’s us, we can help you get acquainted with life in the Tallinn district more quickly, in fact, we’re going to go shopping now, you Do you want to be together?”
The girl next to her immediately added when she heard that the topic was going to be taken to a separate dinner for the two of them.
The two young people behind them were a little dazed, what happened? Didn’t you say hello before and leave?
“I’m very sorry, I have to help Professor Cook to sort out the equipment in the laboratory later. It’s my first day of work, so I can’t slack off, so… I wish you all a good time Happy.”
Donald is going to do one thing for Professor Cook later, but instead of sorting out the equipment, he will teach the guy who sells fakes a lesson.
