After returning to the tower on the east side of the castle, Jiang Feng stopped by to Emily's room next door.

When he arrived, the door to the room was ajar, and the candlesticks on the table were flickering with a soft light.

Thinking that Emily was still awake, Jiang Feng knocked lightly on the door, then pushed the door and walked in.

However, when he went in, he found that the little one had fallen asleep.

The quilt was kicked to the ground at some point.

Her emerald green hair was scattered over the sheets, and her small body was curled up in a ball, hugging the pillow tightly, and her happy sleeping face resting on it. The moonlight outside the window crossed the small shoulders and mingled with the candlelight in the room, and the long eyelashes fluttered gently, casting a soft shadow.

Probably dreaming of something delicious, even when she was sleeping, Emily was not restless, her small mouth kept snorting, and the corners of her mouth were gently curved, and there was a crystal clear silver thread hanging from the corner of her mouth.

“…… Apple Pie ...... Hey...... What a big piece ......."

I was worried that this little guy was so frightened that he couldn't sleep in the quilt, but it seems that he was thinking too much.

With a sigh, Jiang Feng picked up the quilt from the ground and covered her body.

"So, I hate imps the most."

This is probably the reason why he has never been married.

After blowing out the fire of the candlestick, and looking back at Emily, who was curled up in a ball in the quilt like a squirrel, with a happy face, Jiang Feng turned around and walked outside the house.

……

Back in the room, Jiang Feng closed the door, lit the candles on the candlestick, and sat down at the wooden table on the windowsill.

He took out four dark green crystals from the spatial ring and threw them on the table, and by the flickering candlelight, Jiang Feng carefully studied the angular texture, scanning the internal structure of the crystals and the elemental model.

According to the recipe recorded in Monkyrie's alchemy notes, a thing called a potion of misery can be made using the ghoul brain crystal as a material. For wizard apprentices who mainly focus on the undead, curse, and chaos systems, this potion can be said to be a kind of existence similar to an "entrance test".

Whether it's hunting ghouls alone or drinking a potion of tribulation, it's no small challenge for a young wizard who has just become an apprentice.

Especially the latter, the Affliction Potion will not only increase the drinker's mental power and mana, but also completely liberate the drinker's negative emotions. If you can't harness this negative spiritual energy, and eventually be swallowed up by negative emotions and go completely crazy, it's not impossible.

"After drinking, it can permanently increase mental power and mana, but there are certain side effects, and it is only effective once...... It was simply made for me. ”

With the knowledge of a three-star wizard, the spiritual power of a one-star wizard, and half the mana of an apprentice-level wizard, the current Jiang Feng is at the level of a wizard, and the development of his strength can be said to be extremely uneven. In particular, if you can't find a suitable meditation method, you can only use the most primitive "fatigue exercise method" to exhaust your mental power every day before going to bed, so as to improve your mana and mental power attributes.

With the exception of the Ghoul Brain Crystal, the rest of the materials are in Captain Monkyrie's collection.

Taking out the alchemy tools of Monkiri from the space ring, Jiang Feng followed the steps in the notebook and added shadow seaweed, chimera mushroom powder, and silver-leaf butterfly wings to the crucible, lit the alcohol lamp, and boiled it for half an hour over low heat.

"After the liquid level changes from cloudy to pure gray, add the ghoul brain crystal...... Is it like this? ”

While recalling the steps in the note, Jiang Feng took out the largest dark green crystal and threw it into the crucible that exuded an ominous aura.

The moment the ghoul brain crystal touched the liquid surface, an astonishing scene occurred. I saw that the original cement gray liquid surface, like a chemical reaction, was flooded with large bubbles, and gradually turned dark green.

Everything that happened in the crucible was basically consistent with what was recorded in the notes, Jiang Feng waited until the upwelling bubbles began to even, then he used the crucible pliers to pick up the crucible and added the freshly prepared Suffering Potion to the glass test tube.

"Legend has it that such a small tube of tribulation potion can be exchanged for a low-level magic stone in the Wizarding Academy."

Looking at the potion in his hand, Jiang Feng hesitated.

After a scan of the brain, he could determine that it did not contain chemical toxicity. And with its own 3 immune activity, although it is not invulnerable, at least the general toxins can be easily immune.

Just as Jiang Feng was about to take a sip, there was a knock at the door.

Slightly stunned, he put the suffering potion and the alchemy props on the table into the space ring, Jiang Feng stepped forward and opened the door.

Appearing at the door was Leia, her pretty face still a little weak and pale.

Glancing at her with some surprise, Jiang Feng thought that she had already fallen asleep.

"It's so late, haven't you slept yet?"

Leia whispered, "I smelled something bad, so I came over to take a look." ”

"Nothing, just a little bit of experimentation." Jiang Feng smiled easily.

Glancing at Jiang Feng deeply, Leia didn't say much, just simply admonished.

"Stay safe."

"I will." Jiang Feng nodded, smiled, and said softly, "You also rest early, remember to drink medicine on time." ”

After saying goodnight and sending Leia away, Jiang Feng took out the bottle of suffering potion that he had configured earlier, and without hesitation, he raised his head and drank it.

In his opinion, there is no difference between witchcraft and those techniques he has mastered, although the starting point for understanding the world is different, but they are inseparable from the category of tools.

And the tool itself, there is no distinction between good and bad.

As for how to use it, it's all up to the person who uses the tool.

The spicy touch slid through his throat and wiped his mouth, Jiang Feng lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

Pain, sadness, anger, despair......

A huge amount of negative emotions swept over him like a tidal wave, washing over his brain.

However, the expression on Jiang Feng's face did not change in the slightest, as if nothing had happened.

An even more brutal test had already been experienced long before becoming the captain of the Star Ring Era.

I really miss it......

……

How he fell asleep in the end, Jiang Feng couldn't remember it clearly.

When he woke up the next day, the first thing he did after sitting up from the bed was to activate his brain and open the simplified attribute panel.

[ID: Jiang Feng.]

Base attributes

Power: 3.2

Dexterity: 3

Perception: 4

Mental Power: 2.2

Mana: 0.6

】

"The mana attribute has been increased to 0.6, which has almost doubled."

"However, the change in mental power is not very obvious, and it has only increased by 0.1."

"Is it really because my mana attribute base is too small?"

"It's a pity that the Affliction Potion only has the effect of boosting mental power when drunk for the first time, and taking it again can only be used as an aid to meditation at most, and it will not bring any permanent improvement."

Looking at the remaining three ghoul brain crystals in his hand, Jiang Feng planned to use these things to make some alchemy props. He had always been interested in the combination of technology and magic in primitive civilizations, especially after reading Monkyrie's alchemy notes.

Suddenly it occurred to him that the coachman named John had mentioned that Valland seemed to have a place called the Alchemist Guild, so Jiang Feng found Grad and asked him to arrange a carriage for himself, and after breakfast, he rushed to the Alchemist Guild located near the port area.
