Chapter 153: Regenerating Demon Plants? (1/3)
A seagull flutters its wings and follows the sea breeze as it passes over the harbor and heads straight northeast along the beach.
In the vicinity of the human settlement in the South Ridge, there must be a large number of seagulls inhabiting, because there are no natural predators who can hunt them except for the humans themselves.
And in the case of abundant food sources, humans will not always think of hunting them with flying meat and less meat, and occasionally try to domesticate them as a substitute for carrier pigeons.
According to the trajectory, the seagulls were supposed to cross the bustling street and reach the beach on the other side of the city.
But halfway through the flight, it suddenly quacked in horror, its tail feathers retracted, and then it accelerated and circled at 90 degrees.
The pharmacy is located in the middle of the avenue.
The Harrison Pharmacy was established when Port Harrison was established, and was set up by the Old Viscount to collect the medicinal materials collected by the herb collectors, and over the decades, this pharmacy has become the largest medicinal herb distribution center in South Ridge.
The dedicated acquisition point is not located at the main store on Central Boulevard.
There are acquisition divisions in XC, New Town and DC.
Only magic plants that are rare enough and even sublimated to the plant level will be sent to the main store for identification.
There are usually very few people in the main store, and the price of medicine here is two to three percent more expensive than other medical centers in the city, except that counterfeit drugs have never been sold for decades, and only people who don't care about spending more money will come here to seek medical advice.
But today, there are many people in the main store - a few apprentices behind the counter, a doctor who rarely comes out of the back hall, an elven mercenary who sells medicine, and a few helpers who usually work hard......
In particular, there are three guests gathered on the right, all wearing black robes to hide their faces, which looks very suspicious.
Of the three, one was a well-proportioned adult man, the other was a tall old man who was slightly hunched but not short, and among them was a young man.
At this moment, they all looked at a white-robed and white-haired young man standing at the door.
"Mr. Guide!"
After Ein gave in several times, but he couldn't give way to the two elders, he took the lead in entering the store.
As soon as he entered the store, he heard the respectful welcome of the apprentice at the pharmacy: "I've been waiting for a long time!" ”
In Terra, except for real acquaintances and relatives, they are generally not called by their first names, but instead use various code names instead.
In this world of sublimation skills, it is not difficult to change the appearance, the voice, and even the gender.
Only the real name represents, the real background cannot be replaced, and can only be disguised by a pseudonym......
But pseudonyms also have risks. Since they all had the same effect, abbreviated code names became such a common choice that they became a cultural practice over the centuries.
Most of those who go out or show up are named by their names.
Just as the head of the Harrison Port mercenaries, Lübeck, was called the 'Red Blade' by all the local mercenaries, and the wealthy merchant of Nauman City always acted in the name of the Silver Place.
Appraiser, naturally, is one such job, and Ian is known to many clients as a 'guide' – a guide who leads them to the path of wealth and truth.
"It's too much of a battle...... It's not the first time I've been here. ”
For the apprentices' hospitality, Ian accepted it calmly, but also felt a little helpless - Viscount Grant is really pompous, he is an old acquaintance here, who doesn't know him in the locals, and needs such a fanfare introduction?
Naturally, there are outsiders who need it.
However, he could also hear that these courteous praises were not perfunctory, but sincere.
Basically, most of all licensed appraisers are knowledgeable alchemists, who can use various tools and means to infer the true efficacy of unknown things, have extremely rich knowledge and experience, and most of them are middle-aged or elderly people with great local prestige, who can endorse their appraisal results.
And a small number of them are psionics with observational psionic abilities.
Ian is the latter, but he is working towards the former - he has observational psionic powers, he is also learning alchemy, and for the foreseeable future, he will become the most important figure in the city, the leader of the nearly 10,000 white people.
Coupled with his irreproachable resume in recent years, not to mention the pharmacy apprentice, even if he is a sitting doctor, he will be very polite to Ian.
At this moment, there were still a few real customers in the drugstore, and they couldn't help but look back in surprise when they heard this, and several of the locals quickly discovered Elder Pud and Mr. Silverfang behind Ian.
They immediately noticed that something big was going on here.
"So exciting early in the morning?"
"Hurry up, go and call Rona and the gang, there is a lot of excitement to watch!"
"Public appraisal? Did you dig up anything good this time? ”
It's human nature to watch the excitement, not to mention that there is a support inside.
Ian sensed something was going on and knew that more people would be coming to watch soon.
This scene is really a complete set from beginning to end, and the details are also readily available.
However, the public appraisal link of the pharmacy was originally a reserved program - they just wanted to tell everyone what the medicinal effects of those plants were, and what good things they had here, so that they could attract human beings, attract attention, and make a name for themselves.
And those who want to sell counterfeit drugs to take advantage of will also be exposed to the public eye, expelled from Port Harrison, or even hanged by the docks.
"Please follow me."
The process was also quite familiar, the apprentice emptied the place opposite the door of the pharmacy and brought the alchemy tools used for identification in the back hall, and at the same time, there were also apprentices and helpers who went to the door and began to publicize loudly.
The crowd slowly converged.
When the number of people was about the same, Mr. Silverfang whispered a few words to his guard, and the Iron People, who had been carrying a black box with a slight metallic sheen on his skin, opened it.
The box has a fluorite light source, warm and peaceful, almost the morning sun, and inside the box is a pot of light cyan plants shrouded in transparent crystal.
Carefully placing the pot of sublimation plants on the appraisal table, in front of Ian, Mr. Silverfang smiled and uncovered the crystal cover with his own hands.
As he landed, a gentle wave spilled out around the turquoise long-bearded grass.
The fluctuations involved a wide range, with a radius of more than 30 meters, and the entire pharmacy and the street entrance were shrouded in the crowd of onlookers who gathered together and watched the excitement through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
No matter who it is, they all feel a trace of coolness from the body, a kind of wound that seems to be healing, but they don't know where the wound is, only a nameless comfort.
"So powerful?"
"Is it a delusion? The cut on the fish in my hand has healed? ”
"This, this effect is too obvious, I have never seen it in so many years......
"It's a real magic plant!"
Whether it was passing by or waiting for a long time, the onlookers noticed this anomaly, and couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and even shocked.
In the past, when high-level magic plants appeared, it was not without similar situations.
However, most of them are strange fragrances that make everyone feel uncomfortable, or the body is cold and dizzy, or even the paralyzing feeling of being electrocuted, where is the comfort of the gentle healing feeling given by this demon plant?
Even in the store, the trio who had been quietly watching moved slightly, obviously shocked.
"A demon plant close to the second level."
The hunchbacked old man whispered, one of his eyes was a crystal prosthetic eye, and the other eye was also shining with azure light: "The essentia flow is very strange, I have never seen it before......"
"There's really something good in the country." The middle-aged man was a little surprised, but he didn't particularly care, he had seen too many magic plants with similar effects, and it was just a regeneration of magic plants, which was not worth paying attention to.
"Huh."
And the young figure was a little puzzled: "Does such an obvious demon plant also need to be identified?" Isn't this some kind of powerful healing demon plant, it should be a variant of some kind of regenerative demon plant in the book, right? ”
"Isn't that simple? The effect is clear at a glance. He was a little confused: "What is there to identify?" ”
"It's not that simple, Ethan." The hunchbacked old man narrowed his eyes, he looked at it seriously, and then shook his head and said: "Pharmacological alchemy is not so simple, the magic plant with the same effect has a very different principle. ”
"Is it by consuming the essence of the demon plant's own essence to heal the user, or by stimulating the user's life force to regenerate itself?"
"Is it simply the proliferation of flesh and blood that causes a near-distortion of healing, or is it a new limb for you based on the bloodline root information?"
"The demon plant that uses its own essentia regeneration cannot regenerate and sublimate the organs, catalyze your life force, but the one that consumes life span to regenerate can...... And some bloodline true form inheritance, it needs an effect that is almost distorted to achieve the sublimation of their own inheritance. ”
"Who knows the difference between these magic plants just by looking at the effect?"
Saying this, the alchemy master sighed with some emotion: "Demon plants are both medicine and poison, and if they are not used well, they can kill people - this seemingly mild magic plant is the most difficult to identify, and it is also the easiest to give birth to poison from life, and the appraisers in the imperial capital also need professional tools." ”
"If you draw conclusions at will, you just smile and prove that you are a layman appraiser in the countryside."
"It's so exquisite." A little ignorant, the young man vaguely understood the importance of appraisers.
But at this moment, he had another doubt that he had some expectation and some doubt.
"Since it's so difficult to identify."
He looked at the white-robed young man who was in the center of everyone's gaze with some curiosity, the Bai Zhimin appraiser who was about the same age as himself: "Even the appraisers of the imperial capital are difficult to distinguish. ”
"That'...... Can he really identify that many details? ”
