Chapter 108: Absorbing Knowledge
"What is this? Ingest knowledge" Old man Rembrandt looked at the transparent liquid in the five test tubes, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face, but soon he thought of the wizarding notes that Leo had in hand, and his face couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and he said with some excitement: "Is this the wizarding potion you made according to the recipe on the wizard's notebook?"
Leo nodded and said: "I can't make too complicated potions yet, I can only make the simplest healing potions, the effect has been tried before, it can restore people's energy, and it is also very helpful for some dark injuries in the human body." ”
At this time, Vaschi also came up with a curious expression, picked up a potion, looked at it carefully, and said, "Is this the wizard's healing potion?
"Do you also have a wizard's healing potion on hand?" asked Leo, stunned.
The old man didn't speak, just pointed to the medicine bottle corresponding to the catheter on his body, and then he picked up a healing potion made by Leo, uncorked the bottle, put it under his nose and sniffed, maybe he didn't smell anything, his face showed a trace of doubt, and then he saw that he wanted to pour the medicine into his mouth.
"I'd better taste it first!" As a servant, Vaschi was very conscientious, even if she didn't think that Leo would harm the old man, she still instinctively stretched out her hand to stop it.
The old man shook his head, pushed Vaschi's hand away, and then 6 swallowed the potion in the bottle into his mouth without hesitation, and soon the potion worked, the old man's face became a lot more rosy, and the eyebrows on his face that were constricted by physical pain also stretched a little.
Then he seemed to have something stuffed in his throat, he couldn't help but tilt his head, stretch his neck, and cough a few times, only to see a mouthful of thick viscous phlegm with dark red blood clots spit out of his mouth, and then spit out a few more mouthfuls, and the expression on his face seemed to relax a lot with each mouthful of thick phlegm.
"It's so comfortable! I haven't been so comfortable in a long time!" After no more thick phlegm came out of his mouth, the old man took a deep breath, a rare soothing look on his face, and said with a smile like a relieved expression.
Vaschi cleaned up the dirt on the ground, picked up another potion, looked at it, and asked Leo very seriously, "Is this potion easy to make?"
"Do you want to learn?" said Leo, stunned for a moment.
Vasqi nodded.
Leo hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not very difficult to make a potion, only three common herbs are needed, but I'm not sure if the potion you made will have the same final effect as the one I made?"
"What does that mean?" Vasqui frowned, thinking that Leo was trying to perfunctory her, a little displeased.
As if testing Adeline, Leo raised his hand to release the psionic energy, forming a square, and said, "What is the shape of the thing in my hand?"
Vasqui was stunned, then looked at Leo's hand, and blinked her eyes, and suddenly there was a golden film on her eyeballs, making her eyes look like gold.
"Square. Vasqi was quick to give an answer.
Leo said, "Now you use your magic to make a square like me." ”
"Huh?" Vaschi was completely stunned, although her bloodline made her innate with powerful magic, but the magic power on her body was used to fight, and it was very simple to let her use magic to cast spells to kill someone or something, but it was a little difficult for her to control her magic and make such a magic square.
Knowing that Vaschi had already understood the difficulty of medicine, Leo dissipated the spiritual energy in his hand, and then said to the old man Rembrandt, who had watched the test process with relish, "I will help you make some more potions during the time you live here, but you need to provide the herbs yourself." ”
"Yes. The old man could feel the effect of this medicine, the pain in his body disappeared the moment the medicine took effect, and he spit out the thick phlegm that was blocked in his lungs, which made the suffocation that he often felt in his heart disappear, and the whole person was much more comfortable, such a powerful potion, he naturally wanted to have a few more bottles on his body.
It's just that the old man quickly changed his words, and said with a very formal expression: "However, this healing potion of yours can only be regarded as accommodation expenses, and the books in my study are all the most valuable knowledge in the world, and they cannot be exchanged for a few bottles of wizard potions." ”
"What if knowledge is exchanged for knowledge?" Leo had expected this, so he took out his hole cards and said, "What about the third root of the Gamorei language?"
The old man's eyes widened when he heard this, although he didn't have much contact with Leo, but he knew Leo very well, unless he had already seen the real thing, otherwise, his tone could not be so sure.
The old man asked urgently, "Have you seen the third root of the Gamorei language?"
Leo nodded, and told the old man how to find the survivor from the information that day, how he found the wasteland in the hunting ground, and what happened in the wasteland.
Except for a few things that were not said, such as the sacrifice of the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness, everything else was told to the old man, and as for the ten meters underground, the huge sphere that imprisoned the True Eye naturally did not hide it.
"The giant orb that imprisons the True Eye?" the old man was silent for a moment as if he remembered something, and then pushed his wheelchair to his desk and flipped the lever that controlled the bookcase, and then a bookcase sank quickly and moved to his side.
The old man pointed to a metal box at the top of the bookcase and said, "Open it and take Document 707." ”
Hearing this, Vaschi walked over and lifted the metal box down, opened it, pulled out an old-looking document bag from it, and handed it to the old man.
After the old man took the document bag, he couldn't wait to put it on the table, opened it, took out a book that looked like it was made of gold, spread it out on the table, opened it and flipped through it, and soon found one of the gold pages engraved with patterns and words, and read it carefully.
Leo also stepped forward and looked down at the contents of the pages on the table, and before he could read the text, he was fascinated by the pattern that took up half of the page.
In that pattern, he was engraved with the giant eyeball he had seen with his vision in the wasteland, and an old man dressed as a wizard manipulated a ball into it, which had some pattern-like patterns that closely resembled the three-dimensional roots that Leo had seen.
On the battlefield where the two fought, there were still a large number of strange-shaped creatures fighting each other, including the one-eyed monsters and cyclops that they saw that day, and so on, as for the creatures that fought with the one-eyed monsters, the appearance was not much better than those one-eyed monsters, and some of them were not even humanoid and were just floating jellyfish in the air.
"It records the deeds of the Noble Tower Wizard Ascender Guri Satsuma who led his army to besiege and destroy the True Eye Church and use the Forbidden God Orb to ban the True Eye of the evil god. The old man handed the book in his hand to Leo and said, "For a long time, the deeds of the Ascenders have only been legends, and no one has seen any of them with real evidence, so most people believe that the Ascenders do not exist at all, just like a lie made up by the ancient wizards of the Tower to show their mysterious power." ”
Leo hastily glanced at the Gamorei language underneath the pattern, and soon knew that the content written on it was a poem, mainly recording the deeds of the god ascender Gu Li.
He didn't read the whole poem carefully, but when he knew the general contents, he put it on the table, and asked, puzzledly, "Why?
The old man smiled contemptuously and said, "Because according to legend, the god ascender Guri Satsuma is the only mortal who killed seven gods and finally transformed into gods, such a thing will be regarded as a blasphemy by both the Orthodox Church and the Secret Church, and naturally they will try their best to overturn this legend, so as not to affect the majesty of the gods in front of mortals." ”
"Now do you think this is enough to exchange for the books in your study?" Leo asked again as he wasn't too interested in the Ascender's affairs, he was concerned with something else.
"Enough, of course enough!" Although he hadn't seen the stone ball with his own eyes, the old man wouldn't think that Leo was lying to him, after all, such a thing could be found with a little investigation. It's just that after agreeing to Leo's quid pro quo, he smiled bitterly and said, "But you have also caused me a lot of trouble." ”
As the old man said, this stone ball buried deep in the ground is indeed a big trouble.
If he wanted to study the three-dimensional root of the Gamorei language contained in the stone ball, he would definitely need to dig it out, and digging out a huge stone ball with a diameter of more than 100 meters would definitely attract the attention of all parties, and it would be impossible to hide it at all.
Others may not know what lies underneath that ground, but the Holy See and the Night's Watch must know that this has something to do with the True Eye, and even a slightly smarter person can guess the legend of the Ascender, and it would be almost delusional for him to have the mystery to himself.
There is also a bigger problem, that is, the True Eye, because of Leo's concealment, the old man does not know that the main consciousness or soul of the True Eye has been sacrificed by Leo to another higher Omega-level creature, and only its body is sealed in the underground stone ball.
Believing that the True Eye was still alive, he feared that if his excavation and research inadvertently unleashed the evil god True Eye, then the nearest city of Miria would likely become the first sacrifice of the evil god.
However, in order to satisfy his curiosity and thirst for knowledge, he could not do such a thing as putting millions of people in danger of life and death, so this thing he had dreamed of in the past was now a big trouble in his eyes.
At this moment, the old man seemed to lose interest in talking, and instructed Vaschi to prepare a guest room, and then taught Leo how to control the lifting of the bookcase in the study, and left in this way.
After the old man left, Leo was not polite, and directly according to the table of contents on the table, he dropped a bookcase related to the dark world, moved it to the front, and picked up a book and read it like this.
Although most of the books stored in the bookcase are written in other languages, and have been translated by the old man in ancient and modern French, there are still a large number of books that are not translated because the content of the book is distorted because of the translation into ancient and modern French, and only the end of the page indicates what the book is written in and what the approximate content is.
Leo wrote down the books that had not been translated, and according to the contents, they were classified as important as soon as possible, and minor ones that could be put on hold for the time being.
Because Leo's own purpose is to supplement the database, he did not read the content of the books in detail, but swallowed the entire page of each book into the auxiliary brain database, and then called it out and read it slowly when needed.
Leo's strange way of reading quickly and scanning his eyeballs naturally attracted Vaschi's attention, but she thought that Leo was not reading at all, but wasting books, so she sued the old man the next day.
When the old man Rembrandt found out, he did not draw conclusions about the matter so arbitrarily, but he felt that since Leo would come up with that kind of important secret in exchange for this opportunity to read, he was definitely not the kind of person who despised books.
To this end, he went to the study and asked Leo directly why he did it.
Leo didn't answer directly, but just asked the old man to pick a random book, and then he read the book in its entirety, demonstrating the power of his subbrain database in front of the old man.
Old man Rembrandt was astonished when he ascertained that Leo had written down every book he saw by such an incredibly fast reading method.
To this end, when Leo was about to finish reading all the books in the study, he asked people to bring a large number of books from his library in other cities to provide Leo with reading, and at the same time wanted to see the limit of Leo's fast reading memory.
During the time he lived in the old man's villa, Leo also took the time to make some healing potions for the old man, perhaps because practice makes perfect, he compressed the time for processing herbs to less than an hour, and at the same time controlled fifty sets of refining devices to refine the herbs, and finally used psionic energy to transform the refined potions into real wizard potions one by one.
However, Leo also suffered several production failures due to the large number of flasks processed at the same time, but overall, the number of successes still accounted for the vast majority.
In just five days, he made more than 200 healing potions for the old man, and he himself got fifty-three potions, for which the old man specially customized several potion packs and potion test tubes made of special glass for Leo and himself.
Having mastered the making of a wizard's potion isn't Leo's biggest takeaway these days. His biggest gain was that while making potions, he also trained the psionic control talent, which raised the level of psionic precision control to the third level.
When the psionic control talent reaches the third level, when Leo casts spiritism on animals, he can get more information from the animal's spirit, but it will still cause fatal damage to the animal, but because he has not tried to use it on people, I don't know if it will still wash away people's spirits like before, making people become idiots.
