Locke nodded, "Alright, but I can't wait a week. I have many magical paintings that need you to draw, at least 6 or more basic magical paintings, and I might also need you to create magical painting traps and magical painting maps."
"After that, depending on the situation, I might have even more requirents."
Locke hid his real needs among a bunch of optional requirents.
"If you can't co imdiately, I'll have to find soone else."
"There should be many other sketch artists here anyway."
Upon hearing this, Elagabalus imdiately panicked. He obviously didn't want to miss such a big project for him.
"Wait... wait..."
"I can put those other scattered paintings aside for now. Those people aren't that urgent anyway, so even if they wait a few more days, it shouldn't matter. Delaying drafts is quite common."
Elagabalus smiled, "Compared to that, I'd rather work on your project. I think it's more full of artistic atmosphere and artistic challenges."
Locke nodded with satisfaction. "Alright then."
"I'll give you the address. By the way... that magical painting you placed at the door, did it hypnotize the mont I entered?"
Locke had long noticed that his ntal fluctuations were sowhat abnormal. The mont Locke exposed it, he imdiately saw the true face of the entire gallery.
The entire gallery had no exquisite decoration at all, nor were there any luxurious red carpets hanging on the walls. There was only a rough gallery like an unfinished house.
Although Elagabalus before him was indeed wearing gold and silver, he wasn't wearing any expensive magical gemstones. Those were all just cheap stones.
Illusions cannot be exposed, because once exposed, the entire illusion collapses.
Just becoming aware of it automatically dispels the illusion.
Locke had learned this knowledge point in the dark elf Sasari's Universal Studies class. This was a universal solution for dealing with Illusion School magic.
The exposed Elagabalus smiled awkwardly and sighed, "Custor, life isn't easy."
"The rent in Chira Trading Market is really too expensive. I save wherever I can. But you know, for those of us in the arts, we still need to have sufficient appearance, otherwise people will doubt your abilities."
"So I could only place several magical paintings with collective hypnotic effects at the entrance, so that everyone entering my gallery sees not the real appearance, but a magnificently decorated gallery."
Elagabalus smiled sheepishly.
Locke didn't say anything, just said, "This is indeed a good money-saving thod. It can also show your custors your level as a sketch artist."
However, casually hypnotizing custors entering this gallery was a double-edged sword. So people were very taboo about such things.
Hearing Locke praise him, Elagabalus imdiately bead with joy, "Custor, you really understand ."
"Indeed it is..."
Elagabalus smiled at Locke, "Working with custors like you who respect art is truly delightful."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with him, Locke left the shop and headed ho, returning to his three-piece set.
In the evening, in the simple laboratory of his three-piece set.
Locke injected a drop of Fission Potion mixed with clear water into a white mouse. The white mouse exploded in blood and flesh in less than a second.
At the sa ti, Locke wrote the reaction ti into a potion reaction formula he had worked out over the past two weeks and perford calculations.
"After two weeks of careful calculations, the intensity of the Fission Potion is indeed very high. If I had taken it before, with my constitution at that ti, I would have been between safe and dangerous."
"But with my current constitution, according to my calculation formula, as long as I activate the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline in my body with mana during consumption, I'll be absolutely safe," Locke said. "After repeated calculations, my calculations should be correct, and the formula basically matches up."
"This way I can publish an article related to taking the Fission Potion."
"This formula for calculating body strength is my original research. Of course, eting the body strength conditions I calculated is indeed quite difficult. It probably can't be achieved through ordinary bloodline transformation thods."
Locke took out a bottle of Fission Potion and without hesitation, drank it down in one gulp. The orange-red potion entered his throat.
In just an instant, his eyes were filled with golden-red color.
He felt waves of mana appearing from the void out of nowhere, gathering toward him. His body was in extre high temperature, and in the mirror, his body was actually glowing slightly.
This mana appearing from nowhere was the Fission Potion causing elental fission within his body. So of the food he had eaten was continuously splitting into fire elental particles and light elental particles.
The energy produced by this elental fission was the source of his mana's sudden increase.
Essentially, this required using one's body as a reaction vessel for violent reactions.
If the body didn't have sufficient strength, even instant death was possible.
Under this extre pressure, Locke directly activated the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline within his body. A magical eye appeared on his forehead, and tiger stripes spread across his entire body.
His powerful constitution directly withstood the elental fission reaction. Even though his whole body was glowing and heating up, there were no major problems.
More than twenty minutes later, the elental fission reaction disappeared.
Locke deactivated his bloodline activation state and used the athyst matrix to test his mana, finding that his mana was 505.
Locke wiped the sweat from his forehead. His entire body was now covered in sweat, as if he had just climbed out of a swimming pool, and his clothes were completely soaked.
"Indeed, using this thod can quickly increase my mana, and the mana quality is actually quite high."
"The potion toxicity produced can be eliminated using Deep Purple Jade."
"Taking the potion once can increase my current mana by 5 points. Although this still causes so damage to the body, even now I can only take two doses per month. Subsequent doses should also have sowhat diminished effects, not necessarily increasing mana by 5 points each ti."
"But compared to not being able to take any before, this is much better."
Locke thought, "With my current constitution, I'm afraid I can take more than three Beholder Potions per month now."
"Even without participating in my teacher's operation to obtain Tartarus Cave Worm Spinal Fluid, I should be able to reach 600 ntal power in six months to a year."
"This speed far exceeds my previous estimate of four years under the condition of taking Beholder Potions and other resources at maximum capacity."
Locke said, "This is all thanks to using the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline to strengthen my constitution, thus gaining more drug resistance."
"But I still need to participate in the undercover assassination operation. If I can obtain large amounts of Tartarus Cave Worm Spinal Fluid, I can completely shorten the ti to reach the ntal power of 800 needed to attempt breakthrough to formal wizard."
"Moreover, this matter is very important to Teacher Sophia."
