Chapter 52: Re-entry into the Torch Forest
Drink it all.
Al then put the tube back in his backpack and sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for the effects to take effect.
He didn't make Al wait long, and after swallowing those milky white 'quality enhancement elixirs' into his stomach, they quickly had an effect.
I have to say that the potion made by the ancient wizards has a very good effect.
As soon as the effects of the medicine began to take effect, Al felt as if an invisible palm was caressing his body.
And when the effect of the drug is fully realized, these feelings become more and more intense.
Al vaguely felt that the muscles in his body seemed to be tearing and reshaping.
The bones kept making a soft clicking sound, and they were obviously also being strengthened.
Correspondingly, the feeling after taking the medicine has changed from the initial feeling of comfort to the current pain.
However, this is barely within Al's tolerance.
Take a deep breath, although this is not the time when the sun is rising, cultivating the Morning Dawn Breathing Method is half the effort.
But Al still kept adjusting his breathing rate, and began to practice the "Dawn Breathing Method" with the help of medicinal effects!
As the El began to breathe at a specific frequency, the potion energy in his body seemed to have found a breakthrough.
At an extremely fast speed, it spread out towards El's whole body, accelerating its strengthening.
It's just that as the speed of strengthening increases, the intensity increases.
The pain caused by strengthening the physical fitness in a short period of time has become correspondingly intense.
With his eyes closed tightly, Al's breathing gradually dispersed, and he finally suspended the cultivation of the breathing method.
His hands were tightly grasped on the floor, and before he knew it, he had scratched a few fingerprints on the floor.
Eventually, when Al clawed the floor apart, he was temporarily unconscious due to the constant pain.
When Al opened his eyes again, night had fallen, and the moon was shining, apparently at midnight.
Standing up slowly from the floor, Al suddenly felt as if he had been hungry for three or four days, and his body seemed to be empty.
Now he has only one thought in his heart, that is, to find food quickly and fill his bottomless pit.
The black bread and jerky in the backpack were quickly eaten by Al.
However, after being strengthened by the 'Quality Enhancement Elixir', El was in dire need of various foods to replenish his energy.
If it was in ancient times, there would naturally be 'energy potions' configured by wizards instead of food as energy supplements.
But this 'energy potion' was a big deal in ancient times, equivalent to something like compressed biscuits in El's previous life.
It is a substitute for food, which replenishes the energy needed by the human body in large quantities.
It is precisely because of this that the ancient wizard's laboratory did not store such a big thing.
This also makes Al now need to replenish a lot of food after taking the 'Quality Enhancement Elixir'.
Touching his still-hungry stomach, Al put on his cloak and opened the door and walked out.
The bar at midnight is not as popular as before, so the bar on the first floor is a little quieter.
However, there are some people who just like the quiet atmosphere and order a drink to enjoy quietly.
Before walking to the bar, Al looked at Vina and said, "I don't know what to eat here, prepare some for me." ”
Vina looked at Al, raised her pretty eyebrows, then nodded and said, "What do you want to eat?"
Al took a gold coin out of his pouch and placed it on the bar.
Then he said, "This gold coin is for you, give me more food." ”
Vina blinked, put away the coin, and turned and walked straight to the kitchen behind the bar.
Soon, the sound of Vina shouting at the chef could be heard inside, followed by various sounds of the chef cooking.
Listening to these voices, Al couldn't help but saliva from his mouth.
Fortunately, Vina and the chef moved quickly and didn't make Al wait long.
I saw Vina holding a plate in each hand, and one in each of her arms.
There were four large plates full of food, lined up in front of Al.
Looking at the food in front of him, Al didn't say much, just picked up the knife and fork on the plate and started moving.
I swallowed a half-palm-sized steak without a few bites.
As for the bread and eggs, Al basically stuffed it in his mouth and swallowed it.
Not to mention the noodles, basically the timing of stuffing in the mouth and swallowing it happens at the same time.
There are four large plates of food, each of which is enough for a burly man to burp.
But the four large plates of food under Al's hands were all quickly wiped out like a small refreshment.
When Al shoved the last piece of bread with the steak sauce in his mouth, he realized that the entire bar was watching him.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly under the hood of the cloak, and Al coughed lightly and looked at Vina.
"Excuse me...... If you don't have anything to eat, bring me two more plates. ”
As he spoke, Al placed a gold coin on the bar again and looked at Vina quietly.
Vina mechanically put the gold coins away, then looked at Al with a look of surprise on her face.
"You've been in your room for the past few days, so you haven't eaten anything. “
Hearing this, Al immediately subconsciously replied, "No, I ate my own food, it's just ......"
As soon as he said this, Al suddenly reacted that something was wrong.
Inside the room these days?
Why these days?
How many days have I been in my room?
A series of three questions quickly surfaced in Al's mind.
After thinking about it, Al pretended to be nonchalant and said to Vina, "By the way, I've been staying for a few days.
I've been sleeping in my room all this time, but I don't have any sense of time.
I don't know if the money I gave before is enough, if it's not enough, I'll add more. ”
As soon as she heard this, Vina immediately said suddenly: "If you don't say it, I really almost forgot."
You've been living for six days, and you've spent that gold coin, and if you still want to live, you'll need to pay for it. ”
As she spoke, Vina took the two plates that the chef had brought out of the kitchen and placed them in front of Al again.
Al knew that Vena had no need and could not deceive him.
So he knew that he had indeed been in a coma in his room for six days.
At this time, there are only five days left before the start of the wizards' assembly.
Thinking of this, Al nodded slightly and said, "I'll stay for a day, I think the money just now should be just enough." ”
"That's right, that gold coin just now is just enough for your next two plates of food and lodging. ”
Hearing Vina's assurance, Al nodded, and fought with the food again.
......
The next day, four days before the Wizards' Gathering.
Early in the morning, Al saluted, armed and left the bar.
And once again followed the flow of people, slowly walked out of the distant mountain city, and walked towards the torch forest.
The presence of transcendent beings in the Torch Forest is something that everyone around it knows.
So the people who dare to enter the Torch Forest basically do not exist.
What's more, there are no herbs or precious things to be found in the Torch Forest.
Therefore, this forest is shrouded in mystery, and few people come.
Today's El, after taking the 'Quality Enhancement Elixir', has been successfully promoted to the level of a high-ranking knight.
Not only has the physical fitness been greatly improved, but even the mental strength has been slightly improved.
Entering the Torch Forest, Al immediately took out a sleek white mask from his backpack and put it on his face.
The mask only has elongated holes of corresponding size in the two eyes, giving it an incomparably rational feel.
The mask was made by Al himself, and it took a little time to make it from a piece of wood after eating last night.
To do this, Al also spent a little money to paint the white mask.
After putting on the mask, it is covered by a wide cloak and hood.
Al is confident that it is impossible for ordinary people to see who he is.
As far as he can remember, Al walked through the woods, heading towards the place where he had last encountered the ape.
Sure enough, just as Al had expected, the ape was still in the same place as it had been before, waiting for the wizards' gathering to begin.
As for the ape, when he saw Al wearing a mask, he was slightly stunned, and then reflected it.
"Magician, you're finally here, I thought you weren't going to come. ”
The magician was the nickname Al had given himself before, so when he heard the ape's words, he immediately nodded in acknowledgment.
"Ape, people like us don't have a teacher to teach, so so much communication is necessary.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to become an official wizard for the rest of my life. ”
Al's words clearly struck the ape's heart.
I saw that the ape nodded heavily and said, "Yes, the Holy Sword Empire is indeed not a place where our wizards can survive.
I've heard that on the other side of the Western Continent, there is no Church of the Lord of Billions of Radiance.
Wizards are the top group of people there, and it is said that there are many wizarding organizations in those countries.
As for those wizarding organizations, there are countless powerful official wizards.
It's just a pity that it's basically impossible to go to those countries.
Civilians are not allowed to enter or leave the borders of the Holy Sword Empire, and under the blockade of the official and ecclesiastical authorities, we simply cannot pass through. ”
The news that the ape said was the first time Al had heard it, and Al couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.
Involuntarily, Al longed for the places where the ape spoke of a place where he could freely study and practice witchcraft.
As a result, a seed that wanted to leave the Holy Sword Empire was quietly planted in El's heart.
One day, at the right opportunity, when the seed sprouts, it will be time for Al to leave.
As for when that day will be, and when will the right opportunity come......
Perhaps, in the not-too-distant future.
