Chapter 193: Potions

Three years?

Benjamin suddenly felt a little headache. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

They certainly weren't going to stay that long in Ikor territory. The queen looked like she was going to forcibly recruit him, don't think that the Master Guild is so polite to him now, what will happen in the future, it will become difficult to say. In addition, the situation of the whole Ikor is a bit weird, so he really doesn't want to stay in this place for long.

Things are getting a little tricky again......

"It's all about talking to me, it's Her Majesty and it's a ban, what do you want, you still have something to say. After thinking about it, he finally asked.

Hearing this, Hawke also smiled and said, "That's right, the current Ikor is a little difficult to get out. However, our president has the right to issue exit documents. Now that Her Majesty has not returned to the capital, there will be no obstacle in issuing documents for you, but if Her Majesty returns...... I don't need to say the rest, and Your Excellency should understand it. ”

Benjamin took a deep breath and said, "So, at the end of the day, your purpose is just to want me to make a trip to Regina. ”

Hawke smiled and nodded.

Soon, however, the meaningful smile on his face froze, for Benjamin smiled the same, and then, unusually firmly, shook his head.

"As far as I know, there is nothing high about the border between Ikor and the other two countries, but only a defensive line built by the army. We just need to pick a time and place that you can't think of, and fly over with flying skills, and you won't be able to stop us. ”

At that moment, the smile on Hawke's face froze a little.

"That's ...... Not good. ”

"What's wrong? We've even crossed the Crusade Gate, and you border lines, just fly over. Benjamin replied with a smile.

“......”

Seemingly choked by Benjamin's straightforward words, Hawke was silent for a long time, and did not come up with any better reason to convince Benjamin.

"Your Excellency...... You, you're like this, it's going to be very stiff with our side, ...... you It's not good for your future development, isn't it? ”

Benjamin's answer was indifferent:

"Oh. ”

As a result, Hawke was defeated and gave up his persuasion of Benjamin. In desperation, he could only turn around and leave the room in Benjamin's farewell.

And after Hawke left, Benjamin immediately gathered more than twenty mages and held a secret meeting. During the meeting, he told everyone about leaving Ikor and going to Fredon as soon as possible. Everyone's reaction was mixed, but there was no one who disagreed. Therefore, this matter can be regarded as a foregone conclusion.

By the way, he also stressed that everyone should be vigilant and not go out casually, as Ikor is likely to have an accident recently.

There was no way, he was afraid that the Mage's Guild would not be able to persuade him, so he would take extreme measures such as kidnapping a person and forcibly lure Benjamin to Regina - if this really happened, he really couldn't do anything about it.

After some tossing, it became a little late. He originally wanted to go to the old man and exchange the two books with Warcraft materials, but the old man's shop was closed. So, Benjamin had no choice but to go back to his room to rest, meditate for a while, and then fell asleep.

Early the next morning, he got up and went to the "Moore's Magic Shop", and from the old man's hand, he exchanged for two books, "Introduction to Potions" and "Probability of Magic".

When the book was changed, the old man's expression was still the same impatient, and he didn't comment on the meeting between Benjamin and the Mage Guild last night, as if he didn't know that there was such a thing. Therefore, Benjamin did not say anything more, and went back to the hotel with the book.

He sat on the bed, looked at the two books in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh that knowledge was really hard to come by.

After thinking about it, he first opened the book "Introduction to Potions".

In terms of magic, Benjamin knows a lot, and in exchange for the book "Introduction to Magic", he just wants to understand the level of foreign magic theory and see what can be learned and absorbed. Therefore, it is this new "Potions" that is more attractive in comparison.

So, he couldn't wait to take a look.

But what he didn't expect was that the first sentence in the book surprised him a little.

"Potions are higher than magic. ”

When he saw this sentence, Benjamin was a little disagreeable. In his opinion, potions are only a branch of the mage's skill, and there is an essential difference between magic and magic. Magic is the key to what makes a mage a mage, and potions, it's just potions.

Probably, this sentence is just the judgment of a certain potion mage who is not good at magic, and he is not angry.

Of course, even if he doesn't agree with this sentence, Benjamin still has to read on. In the following sections, the book also elaborates on this argument in more detail.

"Magic is not an innate ability that people have, but a skill that people gradually develop through imitation of Warcraft in the long struggle with Warcraft. The ultimate goal of magic is to allow humans to have the power that Warcraft has, but unfortunately, magic requires too much talent, and not everyone can have that incredible power. As a result, magic has very big limitations. ”

...... It turns out that this is how foreign mages define magic?

Although Benjamin prefers that magic is an instinct rather than imitation, the book says that it was many years ago. Maybe magic really originated from the imitation of Warcraft, after all, this kind of thing is really difficult to dig into.

In short, this theory still seems to be much better than what magic is the power of demons, or magic is the power left over from Cain.

However, it is clear that the last sentence of this passage is intended to set the stage for potions.

"But potions are different. Essentially, Potions is a more thorough replication and imitation of the power of Warcraft. We can extract the blood of the fire snake and refine it into a potion so that an ordinary person can have the ability not to be afraid of flames in a short period of time, which is impossible for magic to do. As a means for humans to possess the ability of Warcraft, the level of magic is too shallow, and it only stays at the stage of imitation. And the potion is made deeper, directly plundering the flesh and bones of the demonic beast, extracting power from it, and giving even every ordinary human being, this is the greatness of the potion. So, in that sense, potions are higher than magic. ”

Seeing this, Benjamin finally understood where the "bold statement" at the beginning of the book came from.

There is no way, the most original worldview is different, and the cognition derived from it will definitely become completely different. It would be understandable to draw such an extreme point of view from the perspective of the author of the book.

But......

Benjamin undoubtedly disagrees with this idea.

Potions are people's plundering of the power of Warcraft, and he can accept this notion. But in his opinion, magic is by no means a simple imitation of the power of Warcraft. Magic is a talent, a desire, and like eating and drinking, it is an instinct that people are born with.

People with magical talents, sometimes they don't even need to learn, they can feel the call of the elements on their own, and ignite a faint flame in their hands, which has something to do with Warcraft? The existence of Warcraft may promote the breeding and growth of magic, but it is a bit too narrow to use the power of Warcraft to define magic.

Thinking of this, Benjamin shook his head.

I don't know why, he was still interested in potions, but now he suddenly lost so much enthusiasm.

However, with the book in his hand, he was still patient and spent more than two hours reading the whole book. Later in the book, we talk about the basics of potions refining, list some simple potion recipes, and give a general explanation of the idea of configuring potions, encouraging people who study potions to continue to innovate and develop their own recipes......

The theoretical part is a little reluctant to agree with Benjamin because of the discord of concepts, but in the example part, some of the potions introduced in the book still make Benjamin feel very novel.

Like what kind of magic amplification potion, spirit recovery potion, agility enhancement potion...... It's some very conventional potions, and of course, there are also those that are all kinds of weird. For example, the book says that there is a potion that greatly strengthens sexual performance, and seven times a night or something is not a dream, which makes Benjamin think he is watching a late-night TV commercial.

In this way, after reading the whole book, Benjamin also has a more systematic understanding of the so-called "potions" - yes, a very useful thing, but there is no doubt that magic is the right way.

Because of this, he didn't plan to learn how to refine potions. First of all, most of the interest is lost, and it is difficult to persevere. Secondly, there is a conflict between the concepts of the roots, and it is also a white study after learning, and at most it can only stay at the surface level, and the research is not deep.

It's a pity, but his energy is limited, and the mystery of the space of consciousness is enough for him to spend his whole life, so how can he have time to study Potions under the guidance of another theory?

But......

He doesn't want to learn, he can let someone else learn!

After thinking about it, this morning, Benjamin called all the mages together again and held a secret meeting.
