The road is a delicate thing. Specifically, it is a walkable area where the ground environment has been deliberately trimmed so that passers-by no longer have to waste energy tangling with bumps, mud and overgrown weeds. But since there is such a thing as a road, its meaning has been expanded, not to mention other aspects of derivation, just to say that the passage with the road as a synonym has a very wide range of references. And the scope of this reference is differentiated according to the passer-by of the referent channel.

For example, animal paths in the woods, and rivers where fish hunt for fixed predation, they can all be used as passages. So, when Cheese suggested that there was a safe passage here, the problem arose.

By what criteria should they find that possible passage? Can cultists be treated as ordinary humans? Perhaps the magic of the evil gods can't shelter them from the heat every time, but when the magic forms the way, the cultists can use it frequently and cheaply.

So, what form would this passage take? Is it a brick road that has been carved out and sheltered? Or something else? In the worst-case scenario, the passage is likely to exist in unexpected ways, which is even more difficult to find.

Therefore, after proposing to find a passage through this place, several people are at an impasse again. Fortunately, given the purpose and general direction, these casters are not at a loss.

The old man raised his hand slightly, "We can search for the answer from the sky first, if that path exists in a familiar form, then it is enough to find its approximate location." It's just that the terrain here fluctuates too often, and there is no good overlook from a high point, so it is not difficult to hide a road. And the sky will not have so many limitations, and the answer will soon be obtained when viewed from above the ground. Even if you can't find the channel then, you can filter out this error option. ”

The idea is good, but it is not easy to put it into practice. In fact, it is very beneficial for them to ascend to the sky, even if they can't find a safe passage, it is good to be able to determine the surrounding terrain and the approximate direction and distance. Naturally, there are a lot of risks involved, and even if the falconers on the grasslands are here, they probably shouldn't easily let their domesticated falcons hover above this sandbar.

Especially after that great shadow has passed, who knows what is still hidden in the mist. Blindly casting spells to gain terrain information is likely to be dangerous. If the sandbar itself was a great anomaly, the stakes would be even greater.

"Is your staff up to the task?" Most stick insects are flightless, they are vegetarians disguised as plant branches. However, structurally speaking, stick insects are very similar to praying mantises, and some praying mantis will also have similar mimicry abilities in order to confuse their prey. Conversely, there are also species of stick insects that are vegetarians and retain their ability to fly in order to avoid predators. If the old man's living staff could fly, it would be the best choice for scouting.

Sure enough, the pointed hat must have trembled a little, but its wearer quickly said, "Pino can indeed fly, and I can also influence its movements through the magic bond part." But as you can see, the environment around this is too harsh for a stick insect. Compared to other insects, its body is extremely fragile, and I am afraid it will be difficult for it to spread its wings and soar here. Unless, there is a way to protect it from damage with spells. ”

Scout, found. But how to protect the green scout is a problem. It is difficult for Wei Ya to ensure the temperature near the team to cast spells at the same time, and even if she doesn't move herself, it is not easy to get the spell to keep up with a flying and moving target.

As for the method of protecting the boots, sprinkling gravel on the stick insects, it was also quickly rejected. The reason for this was that the weight of the stone would disrupt its flight balance, and its slender body was destined to be unable to bear weight.

"There's not necessarily just one way to isolate heat. Yoni, bring the bag. The gray robe beckoned the apprentice to take the leather rucksack he was carrying, and assembled a simple table from the inside, and then took out several potion bottles from the inside of the robe and placed them on the table in turn.

One of the most eye-catching is the holy water in the mouths of the people in Rushing City. Apparently what Cheese has to do now is use these potions to achieve his goals.

"You also know about apothecary?" Spellcasters who are not familiar with the traditional magic system will always assume that the preparation of various potions is a compulsory course for a qualified wizard or mage. This is not the case.

Potions or special potions of all kinds are not strictly in the category of magic, and even ordinary people can make qualified potions when the materials are complete and the facilities are complete. The reason for this is that these potions do not rely on the caster to obtain their effectiveness, but rather from the interaction between the several ingredients that are configured. Because of this, people with knowledge of potions cannot be equated with casters, and not everyone wants to spend time studying this knowledge.

It's no surprise that the people present looked surprised when Cheese showed that he was going to make a potion. In their opinion, at Cheese's current age, the superb spell-casting ability and terrifying magical power displayed on the ship alone were enough to become a famous spellcaster.

It's not a matter of talent, but no matter how talented a person is, after all, he still has to undergo systematic training to quickly accumulate knowledge, and it is hard to imagine what kind of rigorous and shrewd planning this gray robe has undergone, so that he can master the exquisite spell-casting skills and understand the science of pharmacy at the same time. Especially for the mages of the City of Ten Thousand Laws, it may not be beneficial to touch the knowledge that is so different from the profession.

But aside from the difficulty of training and the prospects for development, they also have to admit that potions are indeed a good choice at this time. The reason is simple, potions are not magic, and a potion will no longer consume any mental energy when it is used, except for the wear and tear of the configuration.

The question was whether cheese could quickly integrate the most effective potion with the limited materials on hand. This is not an assessment, speed and quality are all conditions that must be met at the moment.

"Originally, I couldn't help it. No matter how well prepared we are, we can't expect the current situation, and it is completely unreasonable. Cheese said as he quickly laid out the contents of his robe and the contents of his backpack on the table, "But Ms. Via's spells have given me a little inspiration. That's what makes it possible. And the main raw materials we need this time are them. ”

The thing that Cheese pointed at was holy water and another ordinary-looking potion, which was indeed very common, because it was the scald medicine sold in the street market. Dwarves always work with high temperatures, so there is always a high demand for scald medicine in their settlements.

Cheese just saw that Hunter was happy, and took a bottle of traditional dwarven burn potion, wanting to study the difference between it and other scald medicine later. Only now, the difference is not to be studied, this potion will be used directly as a finished medicine, and it will assume a rather important function in the new potion he is about to make.

"You want to make an endothermic potion?" As a systematically educated mage, Wei Ya has little knowledge of potions, but she is not completely ignorant. Coupled with the fact that Cheese had already indicated the main ingredient of her mixture, she could more or less guess what effect the Grey Robe wanted to achieve with this medicine.

But then there is confusion, because endothermic agents can help protect against high temperatures, but they are not used in this way, "but if they are applied to the surface of living organisms, they will also absorb their body temperature." Stick insects are not resistant to heat, and they are also not cold tolerant, and if your potion can block the temperature here, I am afraid it will kill it sooner than the temperature. ”

"You're right. Therefore, I not only want to make a surface agent for endothermy, but also an adhesive that can neutralize its effect without invalidating it, and act as an intermediary. ”

Cheese had a happy look on his face, and he loved the feeling he had when he was tackling a problem, and it was still the same.
