Wooden fences, straw sheds, scarlet paint painted mountains and forests, birds, animals and other patterns.

Several bone pendants hang under the eaves, fluttering in the wind.

This small garden is incompatible with the atmosphere of the Holy Jewel Noble School, and there is a sense of ancient rituals.

"Who are you?"

The bamboo door creaked and rubbed, and a muscular dark-skinned teenager walked out, with a secret disgust and vigilance in his eyes.

Thor noticed a powdery object on the boy's clothes, and his hands were wet and appeared to have just been washed.

"I'm a second-year student, Saul Hayworms, and I'm here to ask about herbal medicine. Thor replied politely.

"You're not welcome here, get out. ”

The young man said coldly, turned around and left.

"Wait, I didn't mean it, I just wanted to..."

Before Thor could finish speaking, the boy jerked his head back and stared at Thor like a beast, his eyes fierce.

It's tricky, Thor's brows furrowed suddenly, he didn't expect these Hill descendants to be so disgusted with outsiders.

Moreover, he vaguely felt that there were still people in the thatched hut, who were secretly observing him.

"Curly Dan flower, virgin leaf, threaded chrysanthemum, I just want to know about these three herbs. ”

Thor exclaimed, "I can pay." ”

The young man's body arched, his palms slowly formed in the shape of claws, and his lips squirmed, revealing two canine teeth, as if he was about to pounce at any moment.

Thor hurriedly raised his hands and slowly stepped back.

"Wait a minute"

A voice rang out from the thatched hut, and a square-faced Hill boy stepped out.

The man whispered to appease the beastly boy, and then apologized to Thor: "I'm sorry, classmate, my friend has no ill intentions. ”

Thor recognized the square-faced student.

When the crowd insulted the Hill terrorist attackers yesterday, this man was able to contain his anger and suppress the anger of the others, which showed that he was sensible enough and had a high prestige.

"Classmate, do you know me?" asked the square-faced boy as he looked at Thor with a smile.

Perhaps because of the contact with magical powers, Thor's perception has become more sensitive.

He felt that the smile of the young man in front of him carried some kind of dangerous scrutiny.

Thor replied quietly, "We had classes together. ”

"Oh, so we're classmates, I said you know each other very well."

The square-faced young man suddenly realized, and then smiled: "We were practicing making herbs just now, and it's inconvenient to come out, sorry." ”

"I heard the herbs you asked, in fact, virgin leaves and threaded chrysanthemums are very common, that is, the curly pill flower is almost extinct in the Xinlan Principality. ”

"Luckily, my friends and I set up this herbary with the purpose of cultivating special herbs. ”

"So, there are all three herbs here. ”

The square-faced boy spoke with a kind smile all the time.

"Can you give me a copy, I can pay for it." Thor smiled kindly.

"No money, except that the pollen of the curly danhua has some special effects,"

Speaking of this, the square-faced young man paused, his eyes fixed on Thor's expression.

Seeing that Thor's face was still indifferent, the square-faced young man's tone changed and turned relaxed.

"Virgin leaves and threaded chrysanthemums can only be used to repel mosquitoes, and since Hayworms wants it, I'll get you one. ”

With that, the square-faced young man pulled the sturdy boy back to the thatched house, and soon, he came out alone with three medicinal herbs in his hand.

Thor took the herb with the mud beads on it and thanked him, "Thank you!"

"By the way, starting tomorrow, I will practice archery at the training ground over there, and you can come to me anytime if you need to. ”

When Thor left and the figure disappeared on the bluestone path, the bamboo door opened, and several teenagers walked out one after another, standing behind the square-faced boy.

One of them asked, "Aniah, how's it going?"

The square-faced young man Ania withdrew his gaze looking at Thor's back, frowned and thought about it, and said in a deep voice:

"He was pale and weak, and indeed he was ill, and he should have fallen asleep at that time, and his expression was not unusual when he spoke. ”

"It's better, but what is this person going to do with herbs?"

"Forget it, leave him alone for the time being, and continue to grind the Dan pollen. ”

With that, Ania led the group back to the thatched hut, and the bamboo door was closed, and they were once again cut off from the world.

"These people have secrets!"

At the gate of St. Jewel High School, Thor glanced back in the direction of the No. 3 Garden Building and said to himself.

"But it has nothing to do with me, the most important thing now is to prepare Bart's potion. ”

Thor stuffed the herbs into his backpack and beckoned to the coachman, "Uncle, take me to the shopping street first, and then go home." ”

A few hours later, Hayworms House, basement warehouse.

Thor sorted out a wooden table and laid out the things he had bought:

The test tube, the glass bottle, the crucible, the alcohol lamp, the grinder, and the three herbs were taken out, and a bottle of seawater.

Soon, it looked like a chemistry experiment from a previous life on the table.

In fact, the process of making Bart's potion is indeed very similar to a chemical experiment, except that there is one more step.

As a former college student, Saul had already memorized the steps by reading Mayne Corida's memories over and over again.

A series of steps such as setting up the alcohol lamp, grinding the herbs, extracting the crucible, and layering the test tubes, Thor has been stable and successfully completed.

Half an hour later, there was an extra tube of layered liquid on the table.

Then, the last and most important step, this one requires the use of mana.

Thor doesn't have magical powers, but he's lucky enough to have a demon that can only be summoned for a second, but it's enough.

"Frog ghost!"

The green frog crawled out from behind Thor and leaped onto the table.

The eardrum bulged, the scarlet tongue flung out, punctured a pimple on the body, and a drop of mucus fell from the wound and fell into the test tube.

In the next second, the frog ghost disappeared, and the liquid in the test tube boiled, making a crackling sound like a firecracker, and at the same time exploding in clouds of smoke.

This situation is really like the scene in a Western movie, where an evil witch boils poison to deal with a beautiful heroine.

Thor choked on the smoke and coughed, and even coughed up a disgusting viscous liquid, and hurriedly retreated.

Gradually, the smoke cleared and the crisp sound of firecrackers dissipated.

The liquid in the test tube has changed drastically, glowing with fluorescence, and it is as clear as well water reflecting the moonlight, which is fascinating.

"It worked!"

The tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and Thor wanted to shout excitedly, with irrepressible joy on his face.

Thor pressed the mood to take the potion immediately, and introduced the potion into a glass bottle as quickly as possible.

Then put away the equipment on the table and carefully put it into a box in the warehouse.

When he had finished cleaning up, he hurried back to his house, and told the maid not to prepare dinner for him, so he rushed up the stairs, entered the bedroom, and locked the door.

At this moment, Saul really looks like a young man, not the old man who is usually serious, calm and steady.

There was already a relief of a wolf's head next to the bed in the bedroom, an indigenous sculpture made of ghost dead wood, a prop that used to be in the theater of Saul's parents.

Thor sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, he didn't really need this posture, but Thor naturally posed this pose according to what he had seen and heard in his previous life.

Open the glass bottle of Bart's potion and carefully drop a drop into the ghost deadwood relief.

As soon as the relief was dipped in medicine, bursts of light smoke suddenly floated, and the smoke carried a cool breath.

Take a deep breath and let the smoke flow into your body and spread through your body.

Soon, Thor had the illusion that his body had also turned into light smoke and melted into this cool smoke.

The smoke swirled around Thor's body, condensing and not dissipating, and soon, the pores of Thor's whole body were opened, and the smoke was suffocating.

"Enough!"

Thor hurriedly calmed down, his consciousness sinking to the demon mark on his chest.

The human-faced double-headed snake manifests, communicates with the mysterious river of death in the underworld, and attracts a trace of mist that seeps into the body.

This time, the mist burrowed into the body, and there was no pain of drilling into the flesh.

Just as the body turned into smoke, this dark mist slowly wriggled in the smoke like a caterpillar.

I don't know how long it took, Thor felt his body getting heavier and heavier, the smoke was dissipating, and his body was returning to its original state.

Suddenly, Ling Chi's pain struck like a tidal wave.

"Ahh

At this time, a pit appeared in the relief of the wolf's head, as if it had been corroded by acid, and the smoke had disappeared.

The potion is ineffective.

The pain gradually disappeared, and Thor felt a sense of collapse, endured the discomfort, sank into his consciousness, and checked the results of his cultivation.

There was no discomfort in the body, but it was mysterious, and Thor felt the magic marks in his heart, extending a very, very small section of "thread" into his body, thinner than a hair.

The next moment, Thor whispered indignantly: "No, this is it, it's only 1 millimeter!"

According to Maine Corida's memory, his magic circuits ran through his body like blood vessels.

Thor's scar is innate, and there are no details yet, but even if it's short, it will have to pass through half of his body.

This time, it will be extended by 1 millimeter, and a complete magic circuit will be engraved to form a magic cycle, and it will be the year of the monkey.

Originally, Thor thought that it would take Mayne Corrida three years to form a magic cycle, and his qualifications must be average, but now it seems that he is a genius!
