Chapter Ninety-Eight: Awakening Elixir
Although the stone that the little girl took out was just an ordinary stone, it was a little different from an ordinary stone, and there seemed to be some kind of creature living inside the stone. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Mel's eyes froze, but he quickly smiled and said, "Sherlock, do you think this stone is any different from the one you took out earlier?"
"Of course it's different, it's a real treasure. Sherlock disgruntled.
Maier immediately replied, "So, you admit that what you showed me was just an ordinary stone?"
"I ......" Sherlock's tone suddenly froze, and after a while, he said unwillingly: "I used to count me wrong, but this stone is really different, it's really a treasure." ”
"I dug it out of the ground, and there were some young demon worms guarding there, but I took a lot of effort to get this stone out, and I'll show you the first one. ”
Maier wouldn't believe Sherlock's nonsense, if Sherlock really knew the value of this stone, I'm afraid that he wouldn't know about it for a nobleman, and he would still get his turn?
"Well, for your hard storytelling, two rye loaves of bread. ”
"Bread, are you insulting me, Myer, and you should give me only two loaves of bread when I have worked so hard to obtain a treasure. ”
Myer glanced at Sherlock and said, "How many do you want?"
"Ten, no, at least twenty!"
Mel shook his head and said, "Sherlock, don't be too greedy, twenty loaves of bread, that's a couple of silver coins, just such a broken stone, you are stupid to me?"
"Three pieces at most, no, you can take your stones with you. ”
"Eight pieces. ”
Mel ignored her, it was just an ordinary stone, it was just possible that some kind of magical creature lived in it, but whether it really had it or not could only be determined if it was opened.
And Maier didn't want to arouse Sherlock's suspicions, after all, Sherlock also knew that it was just an ordinary stone, and if the bid was high, Sherlock would definitely be aware of it.
Money is still a trivial matter, and if Sherlock tells the truth, it will not cause him to arouse the interest of some people, and it will do no harm to conceal his identity.
In the end, Sherlock chose to compromise, took three pieces of rye bread, and glared at Mel fiercely.
In fact, however, she was overjoyed that the stone had fallen from a carriage passing by her today, and the owner of the carriage had found it, but had not looked at it further.
This is enough to prove that the stone has little value.
And such a stone can be exchanged for three pieces of rye bread, which is already a very cost-effective thing, and three pieces of rye bread can be eaten for many days.
At the end of the day, nothing else was gained, and in the middle of the night, Mel entered the quarter plane with the stone.
Lily and the others are no longer in the magic tower, presumably after meditating for a day, at this time they returned to the mushroom forest to rest, and there were some food on the table on the first floor, which should be reserved for themselves.
After eating in two bites, Maier went to the top of the tower.
Taking out the stone, and taking out the sharp knife, Mel carefully cut the stone, the knife was very sharp, and in just two or three strokes, a large gap appeared in the stone.
The closer she got to the stone core, the more careful Mel became.
Until the touch suddenly changed, Maier quickly stopped the blade in his hand and blew the dust off the side so that he could see the whole inside of the stone.
A pale white cocoon lies quietly in the center of the stone.
Maier was pleasantly surprised.
This insect has a name, called the heart worm, which lives on minerals and lives in stones all year round, and its body is very rich in elemental power.
It can be regarded as a relatively valuable magic material.
This is especially true for Maier at this moment, because Maier can feel that in a few months, he will reach the peak of his apprenticeship as a high-level magician, and he is only one step away from facing a full-fledged magician.
And this kick needs the help of a magic potion called the Awakening Elixir.
The Stoneworm is one of the main ingredients for the Awakening Potion, and it is also the most difficult to find of them all, as many times, they will stay deep underground.
In addition, most people do not know this creature, nor do they know the stone where this creature lives, and it is easy to regard this creature as worthless, and when they see it, they are often killed at once.
Mel carefully removed the cocoon from the stone, then found a wooden box to hold it, kept it on a side cabinet, and wrapped it in a black cloth.
Strange to say, this insect gnaws at stones, as simple as a normal knife to cut bread, and can often create a long passage in a short time.
But in the face of wood products, this insect has an instinctive resistance.
No matter what state it is in, as long as it is trapped in a wooden box, this insect will not bite even a bite of the wood, even if it is in a hurry.
So this is also the only way that magicians use to preserve this bug.
Maier began to calculate in his mind that there were many magic materials needed to awaken the potion, and a large part of them had already been obtained by himself at the apprentice level, and there were three main materials, and he had already obtained one of them.
This means that as long as you are acquiring the next two, you can successfully manufacture the potion.
The venom of the domamba snake, a very venomous snake, only needs a drop of venom to poison an entire village of people, which is quite terrifying.
This snake is very rare and usually grows near the sea, and Maier decided to look for this material when he arrived in the Duchy of Constantine.
Houttuynia cordata, a magical material that is said to have been cultivated by dragons, was originally just ordinary Houttuynia cordata, but later it was contaminated with the breath of a dragon, and all of them have special abilities.
It smells great, but when the juice is extracted, it has a special aroma.
The amount of H'Orynia cordata is not small, but it has always been controlled by the nobles, because it is also a very high-grade ingredient, whether it is cooking or soup, plus some, it will be extremely delicious.
Maier felt that this kind of thing was somewhat similar to the poppy husk in his previous life.
This is relatively easy to obtain, befriending a chef from a noble family, you can exchange it for some money, but if you want to get enough of it, you have to run a few more stores.
Maier suddenly turned his gaze to another corner, it seemed that the initialization of the item equivalent exchange magic array was about to be completed, and it would probably be possible to try it out for the first time tonight.
A burst of purple light erupted from the magic array, and then, the light dissipated, and the stone tablet turned into a stone platform.
