Buzz!
Xu Sili felt Si Sheng’s trembling. Just as he wanted to speak to comfort Si Sheng again, he heard the sound of his communicator vibrating.
He had no choice but to give up temporarily and raise his wrist to read the message.
It turned out to be from Bazel!
Bazel: [Your Majesty, I finally lived up to your trust and developed the underwater breathing potion. I hope Your Majesty will take the time to visit the Elementalist Academy.]
Xu Sili’s eyes lit up when he saw the words ‘underwater breathing potion.’ He had been looking forward to this potion for a long time. Teacher Bazel finally developed it!
Sure enough, it was as Aina said. Not long after the success of the elemental cannon, the underwater breathing potion was also successfully launched.
“Brother Sheng, let’s go to the Elementalist Academy!”
Xu Sili looked at Si Sheng, who had suppressed his heartache and fear and regained his usual calmness.
These emotions could only be digested slowly by himself in the future. He shouldn’t allow himself to affect Ah Li.
“Okay, I’ll take you there,” he answered before summoning the shadow leopard.
The shadow leopard jumped out of the contract space. It seemed that his aura had become stronger than before. Perhaps after he digested thousands of interstellar beast cores, his strength could be further improved.
September transformed his two shadow wings and carried the two of them to the Elementalist Academy. Suddenly, he heard the little emperor say, “The underwater breathing potion has finally been successfully developed. If it can be produced on a large scale, the plan to enter the sea can be implemented! I only hope that Chamo’s merfolk friends can hold on for a while.”
September was slightly startled. He couldn’t help saying, “Your Majesty, are your words true?”
“What?”
“Roland will march into the sea to rescue the merfolk… is this true?”
Xu Sili smiled slightly. “Of course. Since I promised Chamo, I will definitely do it for him. Why don’t you tell him the good news?”
September was stunned again. Why should he inform this person? Didn’t humans use that communicator to notify others immediately?
He opened his mouth, glanced at his master secretly and finally agreed.
Yes, he was worried that his master would be upset, not because of anything else.
He flapped his wings again and took Xu Sili’s duo to the Elementalist Academy. He found Bazel, who had been waiting for a long time.
Speaking of Bazel, the ‘charitable money’ that Xu Sili entrusted him to donate to Roland through the Interstellar Alliance was still being transferred one after another.
Even the liaison officer Adrian was very surprised, but Bazel’s grandson handled it well and didn’t arouse suspicion.
Xu Sili had been buying and buying since receiving the ‘donations.’
He bought 10 large civilian spaceships, 20 medium-sized ones and 20 small-sized ones. They were slowly undergoing transformation in Xiao Wu’s military factory.
If every ship could have the combat power of the Starry Sky, Roland would have good air combat power. Perhaps the problem of flying interstellar beasts could be fundamentally solved.
Of course, the production of the elemental cannons couldn’t fall behind.
Even Xiao Wu showed a strong interest in alchemy products that combined elemental concepts with interstellar technology.
But Xu Sili didn’t care about it. Xiao Wu could do whatever he liked as long as it didn’t hurt others.
After meeting Teacher Bazel, they didn’t make any noise like when testing the elemental cannons. Instead, they quietly came to the back of the Elementalist Academy.
There was a natural lake there. The water was crystal clear and had no pollution. It was quite suitable for experiments.
Xu Sili used his Insight technique on it and knew that what Bazel took out was the real thing.
This elemental pharmacist who wasn’t from Roland had actually developed the underwater breathing potion according to his requirements.
But out of curiosity, he decided to try it himself.
Dean Justin and Teacher Huo, who was accompanying him, were obviously a bit worried. Even Bazel frowned.
He believed in the potion he made. He had already tested it and it was indeed effective. However, the emperor’s identity was different after all. It was normal for others to be worried when he wanted to test the potion himself.
However, Xu Sili waved his hand and said, “Teacher Bazel, I believe in you.”
Then he looked at the other two elders.
“Dean Justin, Teacher Huo, don’t be nervous. Please trust Teacher Bazel’s ability and my judgment.”
Then he took the bottle of potion.
The potion was slightly astringent in his mouth and gradually became sweeter. He couldn’t tell what it tasted like, but it felt a bit weird.
Xu Sili licked his lips. At the same time, Si Sheng thoughtfully handed him a small fruit.
He took it and bit it without thinking. His mouth was immediately replaced by a sweet, fruity taste.
On the status bar, a new sentence had been added: [Underwater breathing (29 minutes remaining).]
A bottle of underwater breathing potion could last for half an hour. It wasn’t too long or too short.
Xu Sili didn’t hesitate any longer. He flew into the air under the leadership of Si Sheng. Then they jumped into the lake together.
Waves of water hit him. He soon felt his body being submerged by the cold lake water.
Xu Sili knew how to swim. Before diving, he subconsciously held his breath. Now that he was completely submerged in the water, he slowly opened his eyes.
Si Sheng’s arms were always around his waist, giving him a sense of security.
He looked sideways and saw that Si Sheng had opened his eyes one step ahead of him and was looking around.
In the lake, the man’s light blond hair fluttered gently. From this angle, he was still as handsome as a god in the water.
Xu Sili’s lips curled up lightly. Then he released his breath-holding state.
This was actually very hard.
It was because under water, the human body instinctively held their breath and didn’t open their mouths until their oxygen was depleted.
But Bazel had reminded him not to open his mouth to the end, or he might drink a lot of water.
Finally, Xu Sili took a deep breath through his nose. He was surprised to find that he was indeed breathing oxygen in the water!
Moreover, the water flow didn’t wash into his nasal cavity. It was as if a thin film had been temporarily formed in his nose. This could isolate the water from the outside and allow oxygen to enter.
The experience was simply amazing!
Xu Sili quickly broke away from Si Sheng’s arms. Then he held Si Sheng’s hand and the two of them swam in the lake like fish.
There were a lot of fish swimming in the lake. They all ran away when seeing the duo. Then they hid in the water plants to secretly observe.
It wasn’t until the time was almost up that Xu Sili and Si Sheng surfaced in an unsatisfactory manner.
Several old people were waiting anxiously on the shore. They knew that nothing could happen to the emperor with Si Sheng there, but they couldn’t help feeling worried.
They sighed with relief when seeing the duo appeared.
After returning to the shore, Si Sheng controlled the water element. With just a wave of his hand, the clothes on the two of them were completely dry. Even their hair hanging down was dry. It was impossible to tell they had just been in the water.
The old people were impressed by this skill. Marshal Si Sheng was probably the only one in the world who could control the elements so accurately.
Xu Sili was very happy. He looked at Bazel and said, “Teacher Bazel, the experiment was a success.”
“It is amazing. This potion can last for half an hour. It allows us to breathe freely underwater and move completely unhindered!”
“Thank you for your hard work. I’m just wondering about the production of this potion.”
Bazel stroked his beard and replied, “The underwater breathing potion is already considered an intermediate formula. You need the level of an intermediate pharmacist to refine it but…”
His expression became strange.
“But what?” Xu Sili asked.
Bazel paused before continuing, “However, the talents of the brave are very good. A few days ago, around ten people have successfully advanced to an intermediate pharmacist.”
In fact, this talent could no longer be described as very good. It should be described as against the sky!
All of them had just been in contact with alchemy for a few months. They were all closed beta players. In just a few months, they had completed the stage from beginner to intermediate.
Of course, they also worked hard enough.
After Bazel learned that the Roland Empire had opened a pharmaceutical factory, he went to inspect it and selected a batch of good seedlings.
For these ten pharmacists, they received his inheritance and worked almost day and night to make medicines. They only rested for around three or four hours a day before making medicine as soon as they woke up.
It could be said that almost 20% of the health restoration medicines currently on the market were made by them.
In any case, Bazel told himself that he couldn’t work as hard as them. He occasionally asked them to rest and pay attention to the balance between work and rest.
However, these children seemed to be injected with chicken blood. They liked to call themselves life players and making medicine was their fun. Being able to produce high-quality potions gave them a sense of accomplishment.
Bazel was moved by their hard work.
Their ability to be promoted to intermediate pharmacists in such a short period of time was inseparable from their talent and hard work.
At this time, there was something in hand and Bazel didn’t panic at all when faced with Xu Sili’s inquiry.
He said, “If all the materials are available, there is no problem in producing 300 doses a day. Once we become proficient, we can probably increase it.”
On average, 30 bottles of medicine per person was about the same according to their output.
Xu Sili nodded.
300 doses equaled to 150 hours and could be used by six people for a day. This output was already very high. In any case, it was impossible for him to send out large-scale troops in the early stages.
It was still about small-scale testing. They needed to go to the sea elf tribe land first.
Therefore, Xu Sili gave Bazel full responsibility for the production of the underwater breathing potion. After it matured in the future, he would arrange for someone else to take over.
Before leaving, he said to the old man, “Teacher Bazel, the elimination of the interstellar beasts is currently in progress.”
“Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten what I promised you. I will always remember your contribution to Roland.”
Bazel wasn’t born in Roland. After he returned to Escher Star to serve, his only request was to build a city named after his homeland on the site of his homeland to commemorate the civilization and history of his homeland.
Hearing Xu Sili mention this, he wiped his eyes and nodded with a smile.
As the sky gradually darkened, Xu Sili and Si Sheng returned to the palace again.
Due to Xu Sili’s punishment, Si Sheng might feel a bit uncomfortable that night but he still consciously packed his things and went to the bedroom next door.
From this day on, he would sleep here for a week.
At night, Si Sheng was lying on the bed.
He stared up at the ceiling. It wasn’t known what he was thinking, but his brow furrowed deeply as he showed some pain and regret.
At this time, he suddenly heard something. He couldn’t help sitting up and looking at the entrance connected to the bedroom next door.
