Chapter 64 New potion, new commission
Yesterday afternoon in the swamp forest, due to the young man's bravery, the man-eating "Giant Thorn Demon Tree" was finally eradicated, and the logging area that had to stop work in the evening also "returned to happiness."
Then this morning, the alchemist apprentice reported to the alchemy workshop in Kalkistan in the temple area with a newly collected batch of materials.
...In the dim underground alchemy room, eerie laughter echoed, "Oh hey hey, look at these green tendrils of the magic tree," he put it in his mouth and took a small bite, "and this fresh magic tree sap..." Put a little on it and put it in your mouth.
Witnessing Mr. Kalkstein’s passionate performance of Shen Nong Chang Baicao, Victor couldn’t do anything like applauding, but he wouldn’t step forward to make meaningless dissuasion.
After a while, the alchemist who calmed down said happily: "Wick, I am very satisfied with the results of your work. They can make many interesting potions. I will give you a jar of one of three.
The first one will make people drowsy, and they will lose the memory of a short period of time before going to bed when they wake up. The second one will make people energetic and temporarily increase their mental strength. Drinking the third one will make people "high-spirited". ”, the duration is affected by body type. "
Three choices entered his ears, and his heart suddenly beat faster. "I choose the second one." The young man suppressed his excitement and said in a steady tone.
"Why don't you choose the third option? Without magic power, what's the use of temporarily increasing your spiritual power? Do you want to use it to read a book? The third option is very good whether it is a gift or for personal use..."
But seeing his firm eyes, even though he felt that Victor was wasting his opportunity, the alchemist stopped trying to persuade him. "Well, since you'd rather choose such a boring potion, I don't have a problem with it."
After saying that, he began to adjust, and the young man also took advantage of the time and began to choose the books he wanted to borrow this time.
As for Kalkstein's good intentions, Victor understood it very well, and he knew the benefits of erectile pills diplomacy very well. Only a very small number of men can refuse to awaken their original power or make it more ferocious "when necessary."
The reason why I didn’t choose that kind of medicine was just because the young man was confident that he was truly outstanding in this field. That was the countless times when people shook hands cordially and said with tears: “Thank you, Master!”, “Little sir, you helped me.” Ah!", or "Thank you for saving my family!", so on, so on, the confidence gained through hard work.
I listened too much and my ears almost grew calluses, and I held my hands too often and my hands almost grew calluses.
…
The time for serious study is always short, and two hours suddenly passed. Victor closed the document he was about to borrow. He had not noticed this book before, which was written by the mage "Azulie" and described the basic concepts of mutation. The young man felt that he had a lot to learn today. reward.
When he raised his head from the book and prepared to say goodbye, Kalkstein's slightly atavistic face suddenly appeared in front of him. The distance between his face and face was quite close, which startled Victor.
"It's a pity that you don't have magic power," the alchemist said with a serious expression: "With your amazing focus and devotion to knowledge, if you have magic talent, you will definitely become a very good mage and alchemist."
Politely stood up and distanced himself, and the young man said: "Even if I don't have magic power, I still believe that I can become a qualified alchemist."
"It's a pity that many formulas need to be finely adjusted with magic to achieve the best effect." At this point, Kalkstein shook his head and sighed, "Without magic assistance, there are limitations after all. A pure alchemist will never be able to Reach the pinnacle.”
His performance was that he truly felt sorry for himself, and the young man was grateful for this kindness.
"It doesn't matter. I'm very satisfied to be able to walk on this road."
Kalkstein narrowed his eyes and glared at Victor meaningfully, "You are saying beautiful words that don't mean it again. At your ambitious age, you are said to never reach the top, but your expression remains unchanged. Don't care at all?
‘As long as you can keep improving, you’ll be satisfied? ’ There’s no point in showing off those clever words in front of me. We don’t spend much time together, but it’s enough, enough for me to see through your hiding.
Obviously, you are convinced that you have a way to bypass the limitation of magic power and make high-level potions. Although I don’t know what you are going to do, it is this ‘unknown’ that makes me look forward to your ‘future’ very much. "
"...Master, why do you always break the polite words? You will make me very embarrassed."
The understanding between people is mutual. The alchemist doesn't care about Victor being clever. After getting to know each other, the boy also doesn't care about being criticized by Kalkestein, because this is a way for him to express his goodwill.
Ignoring his complaints, the alchemist thrust a tube of light green potion into Victor's hand, "Take it. The 'spirit-enhancing potion' you want, drink it in one gulp, and the effect will last for about two hours."
"Can you give me its formula?" The young man asked happily after receiving the expected potion.
Responding to the alchemy apprentice's request, Kalkstein showed a sly smile: "I was just about to tell you that the formula is an extra reward for the next material transaction."
Not surprised by this answer, the young man gently shook the light green in the tube, "So...is there a special name for this potion?"
"I haven't given a name, but if I really want to name it, the essence extracted from air-dried green tendrils mixed with oil...call it '****'?"
Hearing the name, Victor coughed twice: "No... think about it carefully, in fact, the title of 'psycho-enhancing potion' is enough."
…
At noon, as usual, the chef of the regiment returned home with a large piece of chicken to cook and feed the hungry members, but after calling twice to serve the dishes, the house was still cold and quiet.
...Forgetting that the girl would start her personal activities today, the boy habitually prepared food for two people.
...
In the afternoon, after the bread distribution activity in the suburbs ended and the inspiring speech of the leader, "Rose Knight" Siegfried did not have time to rest.
The time for the White Rose to be reorganized into the Flame Rose is still too short. Many knights are still indulging in the false glory of the past, and the corruption and bad habits of the old times remain.
Therefore, as a middle-level cadre of the Knights, he has to go back to the headquarters to train newcomers and ensure that they are mentally and physically ready to bear the burden of the Eternal Fire.
Just when passing through a narrow alley, the scene he accidentally saw made him stop.
On a small road that can only accommodate one person──
"I never give way to fools," the knight wearing the lily emblem said loudly.
"And I'm just the opposite!" The boy opposite said, stepped back to make way, and smiled as he left with a proud look.
Given that the knight's attire belonged to the Royal Guard, Danso's Siegfried had no control over him, so naturally he had no obligation to remind him that the other side was calling him a fool in a roundabout way, especially when the boy was his friend.
Stopping Victor from the side with a smile, Siegfried said: "My friend, I didn't know that you were actually a linguist."
"Before I met the fool, I didn't know either." Victor spread his hands helplessly. "In fact, I was just about to find you about the commission you mentioned to give me last time..."
Thanks for every collection, every recommendation, and every word of encouragement. Thanks to book friend Jiang Yunxian for the reward and encouragement.
