Chapter 60: The Necklace
Lilian is not an ordinary person who has no alchemy foundation at all, and it is important to know that the Royal Knight Academy of the Astra Empire teaches more than just how to become a good knight. There will be a lot of experience in magic, alchemy, magic, and miracles, although most of the time it may depend on whether you will take the initiative to learn and master them.
In more detail, it is like the vast majority of mid-level and above knights will use faith and prayer to obtain "magic skills" to help them defeat enemies on the battlefield, and at the same time assist, protect, and heal themselves and their teammates.
Alchemy is only a weak part-time job for most knights, and the depth of its study is entirely up to their own preference, and it is not surprising that they are not even exposed to it at all. Therefore, most of them will not be more skilled in alchemy than alchemy apprentices.
And magic, perhaps the profession of "magic knight" can only seem so vivid and powerful in the travelogue novels of the bard. At least Lilian hadn't heard of Piheim's Dragon Academy recruiting knights of faith as apprentices to magic.
However, there is also the rumored Urashiru, where the people are equally passionate about magic. I don't know if there are any magic knights, but it seems that that place has not intersected with the mortal realm for hundreds of years, and for ordinary people, there is not much difference between Ulashlu and the divine realm.
So, at least for most knights, they only learn how to deal with magic, against magicians, rather than trying to use magic to arm themselves themselves.
As an alchemist who grew up immersed in alchemy books, Yulia is still handy at guiding Lilian, an "alchemy apprentice", in potion blending. According to Lilian's experience and common sense, combined with the types and colors of those finished alchemy potions and mixtures, Yulia is at least an alchemist above the intermediate level.
It may be higher, but it is rare for someone of her age to reach the intermediate alchemist. For example, under the command of Lord Sutton Lil, those old alchemists may not do any better than Yuria.
For example, this bottle of gray-green "Stone Skin Mixture" that exudes a slight smell of pine oil, if it is only a low-level alchemist, the effect of the configuration may only be hardened skin, which has a certain defensive effect on the scratches and stabs of the blade, but at the same time, it will also make itself as stupid as a rusty joint.
The intermediate stone skin mixture not only increases the defense of the body surface, but also forms a certain stability and strengthening of the internal organs in the body. As a side effect, there is little more defense against the joints, which of course makes the person who drinks it less clumsy.
As for the high-grade stone skin mixture, or this kind of thing can no longer be called a stone skin mixture, it is almost the same to call it an "invincible mixture". Legend has it that as long as ordinary people drink a bottle of "invincible mixture", even a giant dragon will dare to kill you.
Of course, this kind of rumor is too exaggerated, because an ordinary person drinks a bottle of low-grade stone skin mixture, and I am afraid that before the enemy can come to cut him, he himself will die of petrification of internal organs. And it's still a painful death, it's not as pleasant as being hacked to death.
Therefore, it is common sense to say that what kind of "agent" is suitable for drinking, first of all, you have to consider whether your own body can withstand the side effects of the "agent". Of course, some special "agents" can be excluded.
A high-grade stone skin mixture, under normal circumstances, only royal super-grade alchemists are qualified to configure it. The reason is not only that its formula is precious, but also that the raw materials required are extremely rare. For example, where can I go up and find such a thing as "the spleen of the black dragon" now? It may be possible that the skilled alchemist can replace it with the spleens of other wurm creatures, but the original "black dragon spleen" may only be stored in the royal family.
Looking back, the targeted defensive mixture of the Intermediate Stone Skin Mixture can only be configured by the alchemists of the intermediate level and above, and the alchemists who can make this mixture only need to wait for the lords of various places to "recruit talents". Then the rest of the years, except for "alchemy", can completely live the life of a small nobleman.
After all, an intermediate alchemist is not a cabbage sold on the street, and to be honest, it is quite a thing for some mid-to-high-level alchemist apprentices to open an alchemy shop in a small place like Otingenan. Although there is "Devola's Alchemy House" in the countryside here, this kind of existence is indeed incredible.
Even Lilian couldn't help but suspect that the few mid-grade alchemy pills and mixtures she saw in "Rayel's Grocery Store" some time ago were from Yulia's hand.
……
After Yuria drank the potion prepared by Lilian, her condition seemed to improve, and her pale face became much more rosy. Of course, it is not excluded that this kind of medicine smells very spicy, and it has a more "taste" in the mouth. Seeing that Yulia seemed to be "spicy", Lilian hurriedly brought her a glass of water.
"Thank you, Lillian, I didn't expect you to take care of people."
"Why, I'm just ...... I'm just afraid that you will blame me for the problem with the potion I dispensed, although you said that I made it up, and it is also your own responsibility to drink the problem. ”
"Hehehe, little golden retriever, you're so funny. Then come here, I'll give you a good thing, promise not to lie to you! Julia smiled and beckoned to Lilian.
"What, I...... I don't need you to thank me, after all, it's Orlan who asked me to take care of you. ”
"Don't think about it, it's safer for you to go to the forest to pick up Orlan, and take it as my own thank you for it." I saw that she took out a small and delicate wooden box from somewhere at the head of the bed.
Lilian couldn't help but wonder what was in this delicate box, could it be a bottle of precious and rare high-grade alchemy concoction? Yulia slowly opened the wooden box, and then gently took out a simple silver necklace.
In fact, this silver necklace was not as beautiful as the extravagant, gem-encrusted gold and silver necklaces that Lillian had seen before. But this necklace itself is simple and unpretentious, but it is not a craft jewelry of the general modern era, because every part of its luster and texture seems to reveal the kind of precipitation over the years, and even full of mysterious simple charm.
"This necklace was acquired by accident in the first place, and it is not my personal alchemical object. But I can still feel the power that can fight against the 'darkness', and it is not as simple as a necklace. It's all my fault that I didn't have this necklace with me this time, otherwise I wouldn't have been so easily tricked, so now it's my gift to you. ”
