Chapter 41: The Wizard

It wasn't dawn yet, and Aven, who hadn't slept much at all last night, had already gotten up early, wiped his face casually, said hello to Gary, who didn't know when he would come back last night, and rushed out.

Now he can't care about the book, it may be the stolen goods that have been registered by the supply ship.

Jingle bells...

"Good morning, Mr. Kritoff!"

Walk into Gabrad's top three private pharmacies and say hello to Mr. Manager, who is already busy behind the counter.

"Good morning, Mr. Aven! Ah, you're already a captain, and it's an honor for the shop. It's great to start a day with such good news!"

The store manager, who looked elegant and had curly hair, noticed the change in Aiwen's epaulettes at first glance, and immediately smiled and congratulated, even with a slight aria-style exaggeration.

An increase in his customer status means that his purchasing power will inevitably increase, and Kridov's congratulations are sincere.

"Mr. Aven, you've just arrived. The last herb you asked me to buy last time has arrived, so I'll give it to you later. ”

Suddenly I remembered something.

Cridoff looked for a moment, took out a box from behind the counter, handed it to Aven, and introduced:

"Look, it's been growing for at least thirty years, and the roots have turned purple-black! This thing is really hard to find, if it weren't for my purchase channels, no one would know that there is such a remote medicinal material. ”

Opening the wooden box and seeing the contents inside, a look of surprise flashed in Aiwen's eyes. Originally, I just wanted to collect the raw materials for the "Developing Potion", but I didn't expect to get even the last auxiliary medicine prepared for the preparation of the "Black Sea Potion".

Moreover, the iron reef moss in the wooden box was of excellent color, much more than the most basic requirements of the Black Sea Potion, and Evan was very satisfied.

"Yes, that's exactly what I wanted, and it's really reassuring for Mr. Kridoff to do things. ”

After putting away the wooden box, Ai Wen handed him a list of raw materials: "I have to ask the store manager for these things." ”

"These are common medicines, and they are all available in the store now. Kridoff smiled and took the list, glanced at it, and quickly handed Aven all his needs into his hands.

After a few moments, Evan settled the balance with the store manager and walked out of the pharmacy with a cloth bag.

"Sure enough, I am poor and rich, and the ancients will not deceive me!"

Ai Wen flipped the bag in his hand, the raw materials of the "Developing Elixir" that were not very valuable plus all the auxiliary medicines of the "Black Sea Potion" actually cost Ai Wen a hundred golden lions, which was almost equivalent to the income of an ordinary sailor for ten years!

Although the gold coins saved in Aiwen's hand are not small now, he still feels a pain in his flesh.

Because this is just an ordinary material that does not involve the transcendental, thinking about the value of the transcendent main material, Evan can't help but pity his money bag that is destined to shrink greatly in the future.

He was going to wait for Gell to come back, so he would ask him about the source of the main materials for the "Black Sea Potion", and then start procuring.

No matter how much wealth he has, he has served his transcendent path, and he has not forgotten the main purpose of joining the navy, and he will not hesitate to use the money when it is time to use it.

Back in his small courtyard, Gary was still exercising at the beach, and Evan didn't join in, he now had more important work to do.

After putting away the iron reef moss, he couldn't wait to go to the independent small attic on the top floor, find out the full set of dispensing tools he had already purchased, and began to prepare the "developer potion".

Thanks to the fact that there are no extraordinary-related materials and Aven's solid foundation in pharmacy, the formulation process is smooth.

Half an hour later.

Staring closely at the notebook, which was rapidly changing after being immersed in a basin full of developing potion, Evan held his breath nervously.

In the sound of small insects squirming, the change begins.

First, the stained colorful dye is peeled off and dissolved in water, and then the original handwriting on the page gradually disappears, and new illustrated text slowly emerges.

Unsurprisingly, the new words are all "Carthana" with supernatural powers!

By the time the final changes were completed after two minutes, the entire book had been replaced by a "Carthana" written in dark green ink. And now the handwriting is compact, and the content is at least twice as much as before.

When it is taken out to dry, the special paper is not damaged by the water immersion in the slightest, but seems to have been renovated by a skilled craftsman and turned into a brand new book.

"Whew-"

Take a deep breath.

Subconsciously didn't want others to discover their secrets, it was estimated that Gary should not come back for a while, and Evan closed the door before gently turning the pages of the book.

The new text instantly immersed Aven and couldn't care about anything else.

Sand –

Sand –

This is the most of the day, even if Gary knocked on the door several times in the middle, he prevaricated, until the sun set in the west, Ai Wen breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed the book.

Holding his chin in his hands, watching the sunset outside the window and the sparkling waves on the sea in the distance, Aven was distracted for a long time.

"Sure enough, it's a big secret, but I don't know if it's good or bad for me. ”

This is the diary of a pharmacist named Leon about a hundred years ago, which contains both his daily life and his research results, but it is Leon's identity that makes Evan distracted the most...... A true wizard!

Not an indigenous witch doctor like Gagon on the ship "One-Eyed Becky", who is so evil and weird that it is unrecognizable. Rather, he was a sensible, nay, wise medical scientist, pharmacist, and a tireless seeker of truth.

To be honest, thanks to the memories of his past life, Evan has no prejudice against wizards themselves.

But it was the first time that I had come into such close contact with an orthodox wizard, or rather the traces of his existence.

After all, the transcendent path that occupies the mainstream in the civilized countries on the continent is the knight path, whether it is his father Furman, Grandpa Leo, or Viscount Andrea, the instructor after joining the army, Major Eugene, and Uncle Gehr, they are all extraordinary knights who have reached the official rank in the knightly path.

Even Aven himself has practiced since he was a child, and now he is standing in front of the threshold of a full-fledged knight.

But for the mysterious wizard, Aven can only understand the scales and half-claws from the legendary stories, combined with the settings in various fantasy works in his previous life, in order to form a very vague image in his mind.

Unfortunately, this image is not so rosy.

The horror stories that made children cry when they were young, the "witch hunt order" of the Holy See, the uncontrollable risks of non-knightly roads in the mouths of Grandpa Leo and Uncle Geer, and the indigenous witch doctors they saw with their own eyes.

All of this gave Aven a negative label to his image as a wizard.

Therefore, before today, even if he was very curious about the magical profession of wizard because of his previous life, Evan never dared to explore it too much.

It's not a good thing to be overly curious in the transcendent world, especially when you don't have a guide yourself, and the risk of daring to explore deep hidden things is too high for Evan to bear!

But now the diary of the pharmacist Leon has unveiled a corner of the mystery of the wizarding world for Aven, although it is difficult to see the whole picture, but it also allows Aven to understand what an orthodox wizard should look like.

"Explore the secrets of the human body like a surgeon, study the uses of each herb like a botanist, summarize with the mind of a statistician, and see the essence through the phenomenon!"

Evan clenched his fist slightly, as if he were holding the whole world.

Isn't this a scientist from another world?

It's just that the tools of research have been replaced by various modern instruments to convenient and magical witchcraft. Maybe some of their ideas make this still backward era a little resistant, but for Ai Wen, who has experience in his past life, he has a strong sense of identity.

The reason why humans are different from animals is that they have the wisdom to constantly learn, pass on, and apply knowledge from the natural world, and use knowledge to leverage strength, rather than waving their hands and claws to fight beasts.

And it is this path of equal strength and wisdom that fascinates Ai Wen!
