"Then, you drank a potion that would cause blindness in your left eye. Because it was diluted hundreds of times, the effect was not obvious. Some mint was added to the potion to cover up the unique smell of the potion. It was a good idea."
The saint said with a smile.
The second potion did sound like a potion that she was practicing making. But the potion was diluted a hundred times and mint was deliberately added, which seemed to be a problem. Combined with the first potion, the first two potions seemed to be used to cover up what she really wanted Shade to drink... ...
"Oh, the third one is really an ancient potion. It appeared when I was still very young. I didn't expect it to still be circulated in the next century."
The saint smiled again:
"It has many names, but its main function is only one, to identify gender."
"Gender identification?"
Xia De asked hesitantly, and then thought of more things.
"Yes, male creatures will tremble after drinking it, but females will not have any effect. In very ancient times, well, in the Third Age, some terrible and weird things occupied the world. In order to distinguish them from humanoid intelligent creatures, people at that time invented a series of potions. This is just a very inconspicuous one among them... From the look of you, you seem to understand something."
"Yes... ... The conspicuous target conceals the real target... ... I see, so that's how it is. Speaking of which, the mission to receive the goods that time..."
Shad narrowed his eyes.
Miss Carina's task of receiving the goods seemed reasonable now, but it always felt strange. This strange feeling finally dawned on me at this moment. Perhaps the task that time was similar to this one. The point was probably not to bring the makeup box back, but to let Xia De try to open the makeup box.
He still remembered that when he handed the makeup box to the maid in the carriage, the latter asked him to try to open it once.
"Using a makeup kit to confirm that I'm not a woman, and using a potion to confirm that I'm a man... what is this for?"
He thought about it, raised his head and asked again:
"Sorry, I may be a little greedy, but I want to know if I am a male."
It was much easier to get the answer directly than to guess. He believed that both his soul and body were the same, but in the current situation, he had to confirm it before he could feel at ease.
The saint said happily:
"That's another interesting question, but I can answer it. Your body and your soul are purely male, I guarantee that myself."
Now Xia De felt much more relieved.
Xia De still had no idea what the big witch with red hair wanted to do. And now was not a good time to analyze the clues he had.
Time is running out.
"God, I am here to witness the final wish."
He calmed himself down and looked up. The young man wearing the funny clown hat clapped his hands, and the three children finally came out of the toy aisle again.
They recognized Shad and understood that he was there to fulfill their wishes, so they smiled sincerely.
Shade hoped that this smile could last, especially after the boy who wanted to grow up tasted the potion.
The potion was not brought to the past, and Shade had expected this. Although the situation was a little worse, at least he was not unprepared. Shade planned to prepare the potion himself. Even though he had never learned it, he had asked Father Augustus about the technique. It was not a complicated potion formula.
"Do you have the ingredients for a potion? I learned the formula for a potion that can make children grow."
He asked the saint, who nodded slightly:
"What do you need?"
"The stamen of the nine-leaf star flower."
"have."
The saint took out a whole flower from the drawer of the counter and placed it on the table. The boy, who was eager to grow up, held the toy wooden sword and looked at them expectantly. It seemed that the saint had given them blessings again, allowing them to understand the language of Shade.
"Two living star hoppers."
"have."
He took out two more live insects from the drawer.
“Juicing.”
"Can."
With a casual pinch, disgusting green juice seeped out from between his fingers and fell into a small bottle that had appeared on the table at some point.
The boy's face turned pale.
"Nine drops of genetic material from the Barefoot Fire Source."
"It's really horrible stuff."
But I still took out the small bottle from the drawer, and there was some white stuff in the transparent solution.
The boy turned completely pale:
"Wait sir, should the potion be taken orally or..."
"Orally, of course. Also, the feces and saliva of adult flame-tongue sheep."
“Interesting material.”
The bottles were placed on the counter in order, and just looking at them would make one want to vomit. The youngest boy and the oldest girl had already left the counter, and the boy holding the wooden sword moved his lips as if he wanted to say something.
"Earwax, eye wax, hair, and blood from ordinary people of three sexes and ages."
“I’m kind of looking forward to the finished product.”
More and more small bottles are appearing there.
"Gentlemen..."
The boy spoke in a low voice, but Shad was concentrating on recalling the recipe so he didn't hear it, and the Saint was cooperating with him.
"Finally, the green phlegm of a horse-donkey hybrid."
“Ugh~”
The girl made exaggerated retching sounds and hid in the middle of the shelf with the youngest boy. The latter was really scared, while the former looked like he was just watching the fun.
As for the boy holding the toy wooden sword, he looked like he was about to collapse.
God took out the materials, and Xia De looked at them with a serious expression, knowing that he would face a huge amount of work. There were seven minutes left, and he planned to try twice. If both failed, he would change his strategy and use rhetoric to meet the boy's growing needs.
"Gentlemen, I..."
Although the boy holding the toy knife is not very old, at this age, he already understands the "lethality" of these things on the counter.
"Oh, and the sour milk! I forgot about that!"
Xia De patted his head, and the saint smiled and took out the milk bottle from under the counter. It should not just be sour, Xia De saw a layer of brown and green horrible things floating on the surface of the milk.
"Gentlemen, I do not want to..."
“Are these the only materials?”
God confirmed this to the detective from the future, and Shade thought for a moment:
"You don't have to add honey. It's not a necessary ingredient. It's just for adjusting the taste."
"Okay, I'll help you prepare it."
The god smiled happily, and the god who claimed to have no power pointed at the things on the table. They merged together in the light and turned into a terrible potion in the teacup.
Not only did it taste terrible, but the color was also quite terrible. It was the same color that the Augustan priests had prepared, and God could not make mistakes.
Only at this point did Shad heave a sigh of relief. Although God had asked him to fulfill his wish, it did not seem that He was unwilling to help. It seemed that all He needed was for Shad to find a way.
"Yes, that's it. Potion - the price of growth."
As he said this, he turned from the counter and waved to the boy holding the toy knife, trying his best to show what he thought was a kind expression:
"Come and experience the growth you want. It will be unforgettable."
Because the smell was so bad, Xia De had to keep his voice down. When the boy saw Xia De looking at him, he stepped back with his eyes wide open, and subconsciously raised his toy wooden sword to block himself:
"No, I don't want to drink it. You're a liar. This is not the growth I want!"
