Chapter 33: The Lake, the Dead Sea
West immediately said humbly: "Master, don't say that, it's my honor to serve you. If you have a recipe, I take care of all the ingredients. He wished that Lear had something to ask for him, he knew that the Truth Mage was poor in hands-on skills, but he was extremely knowledgeable.
Lear smiled and said, "I have the formula, I also have the materials, you just need to follow the steps I said to refine the medicine." If there is an accident and the material is scrapped, then I have to trouble you. ”
West hurriedly said: "It should be, it should be, if something goes wrong, I take full responsibility." ”
Lear said, "Okay, you open the magic bag, take the materials inside for preliminary alchemy, and then I'll tell you what to do next." "Since Potions is derived from alchemy, many terms still follow alchemical terminology.
Respectfully and tremblingly, West took the magic bag—something that even his teacher had never touched. He deliberately snubbed Lear before, because he wanted to elevate his status and even find a way to get a magic bag. It's a pity that before he could use his previous tricks to deceive people, he was beaten into a turtle by Lear.
Don't look at his honest appearance now, that's because he doesn't dare to be presumptuous in front of authority.
He usually treats others arrogantly, deceives if he can, and does not lack virtue. Before being accepted by Baron Humphrey as the family's potions master, he deceived many people in the name of a potions master - he stole his teacher's magic book and ran away, and there was nothing he didn't dare to do.
West's eyes were very poisonous, and when he opened the magic bag, he first took out the box, he guessed that it was the recipe inside, and instead of looking at it, he took the other ingredients out one by one. Every time he took a piece, he was surprised, and he carefully calculated, these materials were no less than 50,000 gold carats.
As a Pratt, he naturally couldn't get so many things, most of which were given to him by his rich and powerful cousin.
Finally, he took out the blue eyes of the blue-eyed snow fox, and his breathing suddenly accelerated. Although the Potions Master had a low status, he had been wandering for more than a decade and was well aware of some magic rumors. According to the rumors of the magicians, the wild blue-eyed snow fox has long been extinct, and the combined forces of the entire Starry Sky Continent that have the ability to raise blue-eyed snow foxes are less than ten.
He could see that it was a fresh blue eye, and immediately came to the conclusion that there was a huge force behind Lear.
He put different materials into different magic containers to ensure that the mana of the materials was not destroyed.
Under the guidance of Lear or Squire, West used his best efforts to carry out preliminary alchemy, and it took nearly two hours to complete the various materials either grinding, or powdering, or making paste, or dissolving, or extracting, or calcining, etc., etc.
Lear said, "You can rest first." ”
West happily took the notebook and was about to dictate the steps just now, but stopped, faced Lear, and cautiously asked with a smile: "Master, you don't mind if I record the steps just now, do you?"
Lear said without hesitation: "It's okay, it's okay, you can do it if you like." ”
West was ecstatic, carefully recording all the details just now. In the past, he had all relied on vague sentences and self-feelings in the magic book to figure out through experience again and again, but this time it was different.
Lear had just casually reported the incomparably accurate numbers, which made him fascinated, as if he had obtained the most precious treasure in the world.
As a result, the Hohenzollern family, which had accumulated nearly a thousand years of magical knowledge, entered West's magical notes.
The magic of this era is still in a semi-closed state, and magicians of the same force can communicate, and even those of different forces can communicate with each other, but the more those small mages who can't get on the table, the more they cherish themselves.
Even Netheri in the Wizarding Realm is not immune to this, and the various forces are clearly divided into magical barriers. If the talent is too poor to join those magic families, you can only do chores for those little magicians, and then climb up step by step.
This makes it impossible for ordinary magicians to come out in their lives unless they join the magic family.
West is a native of Netherry, he is not willing to be a lifelong magic apprentice, so he steals the teacher's magic books, and travels from the "magically rich area" of Netherry to the "magically barren area" of Horman, and only settled in Nessy Manor six years ago, which is considered to have fulfilled his long-cherished wish.
He originally thought that he would be a fake potions master for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect to meet a master.
He quickly memorized Lear's words and numbers, and had already decided in his mind that it would take only one year to digest this knowledge, and in two years at most, he would become a true potions master.
A mage is not the same as a swordsman. The golden age of a swordsman is from twenty to thirty-five years old, but the golden age of a mage is from thirty to fifty years old. If a precious potion is used, the mage can keep his mental power in its prime until it runs out.
When Westmer finishes writing, Lear excuses him to take a break, and then asks him to tell him about the current situation in the wizarding world.
Finally, when it comes to cultivating disciples, Lear suddenly wants to see if he can learn magic, so he asks West to take a test.
West didn't doubt or dare not doubt, and took the crystal ball that probed his spiritual power to test his spiritual power.
When the test results came out, West looked relieved, looked at Lear with a more respectful expression, and was fully convinced that Lear was the legendary Truth Wizard.
The foundation of a magician is spiritual power, and only spiritual power can attract magical power.
In the world of magic, everyone's mental power can be transformed into a lake image by a crystal ball.
In fact, the lake transformed by the spiritual power of ordinary people cannot be called a lake, but can only be called a puddle, the smallest is the size of a basin, and the largest is just a small pond, the water area is small, very shallow and calm.
The lake transformed by West's spiritual power was much larger than that of ordinary people, and it did look like a small lake rather than a pool, and there was a lot of wind and waves on the lake.
The area of the lake represents the maximum amount of spiritual power that can be mobilized at one time, and the depth of the lake represents the total amount of spiritual power, and the most important thing is the wind and waves on the surface of the lake, which determines the strength of spiritual power. The greater the wind and waves on the lake, the higher the strength of the mental power, and the better the talent.
The area and depth of the lake formed by spiritual power can be expanded, but the wind and waves on the surface of the lake are difficult to change, so the mage is a profession that relies on talent very much.
Lear's lakes are even more special, his lakes are 10,000 times larger than West's, bottomless, like the sea, but the most important thing is that there are no wind and waves at all, not even the slightest ripples, and the lake is like a mirror—it looks like a dead sea.
After reading the test results, Shi Jian was thinking: "I don't know if his spiritual power was originally like this, or if he became like this after devouring the soul of that unlucky guy." It's a pity that he can't practice magic, but the steady mental power is of great help to the way of the sword, and it is not very embarrassing to have such a master. Before she knew it, she was beginning to identify with this owner.
West sighed, "No wonder you disdain to practice magic, it turns out that you actually have inexhaustible spiritual power. It's a pity that your mental strength can only perform elementary magic, otherwise you will be the number one magician in the Starry Sky Continent throughout the ages. ”
Lil's silence.
