Chapter 259: Side Effects of Elixirs

Truth be told, studying the witchcraft of trolls isn't easy, but it's not too difficult either; At that time, the actions of the trolls had not yet fully retreated into the dense primeval jungle, and the alliance between humans and the High Elves was still in the honeymoon period, and from these allies who had been at war with the trolls for thousands of years, humans also obtained a lot of information about witchcraft.

Eventually, combining herbalism and witchcraft, a new, associated discipline of potions emerged in the realm of human mages, named Alchemy, and Anduin? The bottle of special potion made from the blood of trolls in Lothar's hand was the product of early alchemy.

However, in Anduin? In Lothar's narrative, the birth of alchemy caused a huge conflict between the emerging mage class and the ruling class of the Alaso Empire.

Most of the various potions and potions made by the mages through alchemy possess magical powers, which, unlike the arcane, can be easily mastered by mortals.

The rulers of the Arathas Empire saw this power as a threat to the monarch's rule, but the mages insisted that they had the freedom to study.

Eventually, the conflict between the two sides erupted after the death of Emperor Soladin the Great, and a large number of mages and scholars associated with them were arrested by order of the royal family of the Arathso Empire, and the mages used their power and influence to fight back.

Not to mention that during the arrest process, many mages successfully used their spells to escape, and even those who were arrested made those guards pay the price.

At the same time, many nobles who were connected to or even had close ties to the mage class also carried out their own rescue work. The ancestors of Lothar were one of them.

In the face of protests from a large number of nobles, the royal family was forced to release the arrested mages and scholars, and to return the confiscated materials and practical equipment, although destruction was inevitable.

After a small amount of bloodshed, the mages moved away from Rapids and established their own magical city-state of Dalaran on the shores of Lake Lordamere, independent of secular royal power; And Anduin? The ancestors of Lothar, too, because of this. Leaving Riptide City, he went from being a prince of the Araso Empire to becoming the founding father of the Kingdom of Azeroth.

The "Renaissance of Magic" begins with the victory of the combined forces of humans and the High Elves over the troll invaders, and ends with the establishment of the magical city of Dalaran. In the short and short decades that have passed, the civilization of magic has shone brightly. Although the mages began to distance themselves from the world because of the lessons of the riots, there are still many mages who miss that free and open era.

"This bottle of potion. It's a product of that era. Trolls are bloodthirsty and furious, and even after being injured, they possess far more healing abilities than humans, and these powers come from their unique blood. By ingesting this potion, the blood of the trolls will bring out the full potential of humanity, and even the weakest young children can become the most outstanding warriors. "Anduin? Lothar ended his tirade.

"So...... Teacher Lothar, you, Marcus, and Windsor have all taken this potion? Varian's hand clenched as he gripped the dark green flask. He asked.

Anduin? Lothar nodded, and Varian suddenly understood something - although I don't know if the efficacy of this potion is really comparable to the blessing of the Holy Light as Teacher Lothar said, but obviously this potion is the power that Marcus said before, which can make them compete with the paladin.

"So......" Varian said aloud with a sudden agitation, "why don't you equip all the soldiers of Stormwind with this potion?" If you have this power, maybe ...... Maybe Stormwind won't ...... either"

"That's impossible." Anduin? Lothar's tone of voice made Varian calm down a little. "The recipe for this potion was lost at the end of the 'Renaissance of Magic', and the master who made it was one of the few mages who died in that rebellion. Although the remaining potions were preserved by my ancestors in a unique way. But Cheng Dù, who is not wealthy enough to equip the entire army of Stormwind City...... What's more, this kind of thing still has some side effects......"

"Side effects?" Varian looked at his teacher in bewilderment, but secretly resolved in his heart that he would take this potion even if there were any side effects—he would be Lothar's attendant in the upcoming decisive battle. Guarding his side, if the strength is not enough, but Teacher Lothar is asked to take care of himself, it will be bad!

"Hmm...... According to the tradition of the Iron Horse Brotherhood, only the core members can take this potion, and after taking the potion, they will naturally be invincible on the battlefield, but they are ...... As the killings increase, the furious elements of the troll's blood will gradually merge with our bodies, becoming irritable, irritable, murderous, and frenzied...... The traits of these trolls will also appear in humans. "Anduin? There was an inexplicable sadness in Lothar's voice.

"This ...... These side effects are not so ......" Varian expressed his opinion in a heaval - in his imagination, he thought Anduin? The side effects that Lothar is talking about are the ones that cause great physical or mental trauma, or die directly after how many times you use them...... According to this saying, manic and irritable...... For a fighter, it doesn't seem to be much of a side effect!

"Really?" Anduin? Lothar shook his head slightly, and said, "Varian, before the outbreak of the war, after the outpost discovered the whereabouts of those orcs, your father originally set up a line for us to hold the front first, and after contacting the other human kingdoms and dwarven kingdoms, we would attack the orcs together, but I vetoed his mention because of my desire to kill; In the Swamp of Sorrow, the orcs were at the end of their rope, and I should have waited for the mages of Dalaran to dispel the fog and slaughter them all, but after learning of Medivan's betrayal, I was so angry that I broke away from the army and went to Karazan...... Only then did the orcs break through the defenses of the Cursed Lands and capture Stormwind City......"

"Teacher Lothar...... It's not yours...... Fault ...... "Varian didn't know how to comfort his teacher, the marshal of Stormwind had been living in self-blame and remorse since the fall of Stormwind.

"Varian, I'm not telling you this, I'm not talking about whose fault it is...... The past cannot be recovered, but the future can be chosen by ourselves. As the future king of Stormwind, after me, you are destined to become the president of the Iron Horse Brotherhood; Whether or not to take this potion should have been a decision you made at that time. But now, with the decisive battle looming, this choice must be made in advance, Varian, let me ask you, are you willing to join the Iron Horse Brotherhood as the future king of Stormwind, take a potion containing the blood of trolls, and fight for the peace of Stormwind for the rest of your life?
