Chapter 175: The Alchemy of Recognizing People
In addition to the types and effects of potions, the Witcher Alchemy also has a very important feature, and it is because of this characteristic that Leo pays special attention to it. This feature is that except for a few potions that need to be made with a special witcher's magic seal, all the rest of the alchemy potions can be directly made by ordinary people without the assistance of any supernatural powers, which is different from the several healing potions and tranquility potions that Leo has now mastered.
"No, the witcher's potion is not allowed by ordinary people. When Leo said that he wanted to try the witcher's potions, Jiviel shook her head again and again, and said, "The reason why the witchers were able to take those potions is because after the grass trial, their bodies have extremely strong healing powers, and they can neutralize the damage caused by the potions. But even so, they can't take too many potions, otherwise they will still be poisoned like ordinary people. Moreover, the herbs of each world are different, and the herbs required for the recipe of alchemy do not necessarily exist in this world or in Leo yours. ”
"They?" Leo asked, noticing a small detail, "Aren't you a witcher yet?"
Ji Wei Elle frowned and said, "Of course I'm a witcher," and then pouted again, and said, "It's just that I haven't experienced the grass trial, but my body is special, and I can also use some witcher potions," he paused, and then added in a low voice, "It's just that the effect is not that strong." ”
"If you can use some witcher potions, so can I. Leo had no intention of giving up, and said, "Please believe me, my body is as special. ”
Seeing Leo's serious appearance, Jivielle hesitated slightly, seemed to be convinced, and said in a deep voice: "I only have some herbs on hand, and there is no finished potion, I need to refine it again." ”
"I have a complete alchemy apparatus here, and you can refine potions here. Leo stood up and walked with Giva Elle to the secret room of the herb study, and asked with a little expectation, "Excuse me, can I watch while you make medicine?"
"Yes. Jivielle didn't think much of it, and nodded in agreement.
The two soon came to the pharmaceutical secret room, and Ji Wei Elle couldn't help but be stunned after seeing the delicate pharmaceutical equipment in the secret room, even in the warlock's alchemy laboratory, she had never seen such exquisite equipment.
However, she quickly returned to normal, and after Leo explained the purpose and usage of the equipment, she quickly became proficient in the use of the equipment, and then took out several simple equipment such as flasks, grinders, and alcohol lamps directly from the equipment, and placed them on the table. Then, she took out some of the herbs she needed from the herbal bag around her waist, put them in turn according to her custom, and began to carefully grind these herbs into powders and liquids.
Leo didn't stand here dumbfounded, he took out a little of each of the herbs on the table under the gaze of Jiviel, and then put it in his mouth to taste.
At the same time as the entrance of the herbs, the paracerebral system cooperated with skills such as perfect control, mental network, and chaotic stomach pouch to completely analyze the medicinal properties and effects of these drugs, and knew what these medicinal materials were called in her world through Jivi El's narration. Finally, he compared these drugs with the drugs he knew about in the world of Velon, found the substitute drugs, and compiled them into a medicinal material file of the witcher's alchemy in the database.
Although the number of herbs that Jivielle carried with her was not very large, she was very complete, and there were as many as thirty-one according to a rough count, of which only one-third were the herbs used to refine potions.
According to Ji Wei Elle, these herbs are the most basic herbs, and the types have covered all the types of herbs required for the witcher's alchemy, and most of the other herbs are only enhanced versions of these ten herbs, and there is no difference in medicinal properties, but the medicinal effect has been enhanced a lot.
In addition to the herbs, the remaining two-thirds are some organ substances extracted from the monsters, including some kind of brain extract of a water ghost and a certain glands of insects, all of which are used to refine enchanted sword oil that specializes in dealing with special monsters.
Unlike those herbs, these monster organ extracts themselves contain extremely strong toxins, and even witchers would not dare to take these extracts without neutralizing these toxins.
So when Leo picked out the least toxic monster organ extract, pinched a small one with his fingers, and put it in his mouth to chew and eat, Jiviel was ready to concoct an antidote.
However, to Gviel's surprise, this little bit of monster organ extract, which was enough to make the witcher stunned instantly, only made Leo frown.
Leo then tasted the organ extracts of these monsters in order of their toxicity, until he tasted the last and most poisonous organ extract of the petrified chicken snake beast, his face showed a slight abnormal look, but it quickly returned to normal.
Seeing that Leo took all the herbs and monster organ extracts, Jivielle was sure that Leo was indeed not lying, his physique was very special, not to mention anything else, just for poison, his physique was not even comparable to the witcher, so he could naturally take the witcher's potion as well.
Although it is now certain that the poison of the witcher's potion will not cause any harm to Leo, Gvielle still finished the potion at hand, and the entire process of making the potion is completely recorded in the database of the auxiliary brain system.
According to the analysis of the paracerebral system, the method of refining the medicine is only the most common water-soluble medicine refining method, which extracts the medicinal juice separately through the amount of different drugs, and then mixes them together for secondary refining by heating.
This is also the main reason why Leo is interested in the alchemy of witchers, using ordinary medicines, ordinary techniques, but refining special potions, as long as you master this technique, it is possible to form mass production.
"This bottle of potion is called Swallow. Pouring the boiled potion into a small bottle with a little alcohol, Jivielle shook the bottle and mixed the potion, and said to Leo: "This bottle of potion is one of the most basic potions, and the effect is similar to the healing potion you gave me before, but the effect is not as good as your healing potion, and the effect of your healing potion may only be comparable to the high-grade swallow potion refined by the warlock." ”
When the liquid in the bottle turned into a milky white liquid with a little cyan, Jiviel stopped shaking the bottle, put it under her nose and sniffed, nodded with satisfaction, and then handed it to Leo and said, "Try the effect of this potion." ”
Leo took the medicine bottle, did not hesitate, and drank it directly, just like a healing potion, this bottle looked like a potion refined by ordinary methods After swallowing it into the abdomen, it was not completely converted into energy storage value by the chaotic stomach pouch, but a part of it became a strange energy integrated into the body, producing a similar healing effect.
While the drug is working, the parabrain system is also recording the data of various drugs.
As Givie Elle had said, the effects of this bottle of swallow potion were indeed not comparable to his wizard healing potion.
According to the analysis of the paracerebral system, the effect of this bottle of medicine can only treat some small injuries and remove some blood stasis, for the real big wounds, this bottle of medicine is difficult to have an effect, and the current effect is still the pure effect after the purification of the chaotic stomach pouch, if ordinary people take it, it will definitely not be as good as the effect when Leo takes it.
"If this bottle of potion is given to the witcher...... Leo put the bottle on the table and asked, "It's the official witcher, how effective is it?"
Listening to Leo's words, Jivielle couldn't help but purse her lips, obviously dissatisfied with Leo's words that she was not a real witcher, but she didn't say anything, but replied seriously: "The effect of their drinking swallow potion is much better than the effect of my drinking potion, as long as the general injury can be relieved or even cured." ”
Hearing this, Leo couldn't help but think about it in his heart, and said secretly: "Is this so? It seems that the body of the demon hunter should be able to have some effect with this potion, so that the effect of the potion can be increased several times." ”
After thinking for a moment, Leo looked at the remaining herbs on the table, pointed and said, "Can you let me try it?"
"You?" Jivi Elle was stunned, and quickly understood what Leo meant, and said, "Although the refining method of the swallow potion is simple, it is only ...... to read it once."
"I know how to make a medicine myself, and it's enough to read it once. Leo explained briefly, and then motioned for Giva Elle to get out of the way, took out a set of clean pharmaceutical utensils by himself, and then started making them according to the method that Giva Elle had just done.
Seeing this, Jiviel didn't say anything, but stood aside and watched carefully, ready to warn Leo if he made a mistake.
However, what shocked Gvielle was Leo's perfect movements, and the perfection here is not the perfection of the production technique, but the perfect replica of every movement she made when she made the medicine.
From the strength of grinding the herbs to the speed of stirring the herbs, it was all exactly the same as the process she had just made when she was making the medicine, and even the small movements she had practiced before were perfectly imitated, giving her the illusion that she was making the potion herself.
Although she had traveled to many worlds and met all kinds of people, who possessed all kinds of magical powers and abilities, it was the first time she had seen Leo copy all of a person's movements almost perfectly.
Just as Gviel was in her surprised gaze, Leo quickly finished a bottle of Swallow Elixir, but the moment the potion was completed, he had a feeling that his bottle of Swallow Elixir might have failed.
"You're such an amazing fellow!" Jivielle, who had just recovered from her surprise, let out a long exhalation and couldn't help but exclaim.
Leo ignored Givy El's exclamation, instead frowned, looked at the bottle in his hand that was exactly the same as the one before, and then tried to pour a little out of it and drank it.
"Sure enough, it failed!" said Leo with some disappointment after tasting the potion.
"Failed? impossible. Jiviel took the bottle of potion, shook it in her hand, and then dipped her fingers in a little potion, licked it, and then said with some puzzlement: "Didn't you fail? It's exactly the same as the potion I made." ”
"No failure?" Leo was also a little surprised, after tasting the potion just now, he felt that the potion had no special effect, so he decided to fail, but judging from Jiviel's reaction now, his previous judgment seemed to be wrong.
Leo hurriedly took the potion and tasted it again, finding that the potion that had no effect a moment ago had now become exactly the same as the swallow potion that Jiviel had refined before, as if his taste just now was just an illusion.
"No! I didn't go wrong. Leo just had a trace of doubt in his heart, and immediately returned to normal, and called up the record just now through the auxiliary brain system, and the content of the record proved that his judgment just now was indeed not wrong, after the initial potion was refined, the potion he tried was indeed a failure, it had no effect, and there were not even side effects.
"How so?" Leo looked at the potion in his hand, puzzled.
Jivielle on the side saw Leo's puzzled look, so she asked Leo about the situation. Leo didn't hide it either, and told the situation of the potion, and after hearing it, Jiviel subconsciously thought that Leo was either lying, or he was wrong just now, and didn't think that the same bottle of potion had no effect one moment, and the next moment it would become a potion.
"You, the reason should be on you. Leo quickly thought of a possibility, turned to look at Gvielle, and said.
"On me?" Ji Wei Elle was stunned, and then said very unhappily, "Do you think that I deliberately concealed some key steps when I demonstrated the refining of the swallow potion just now?"
"Of course not. Leo shook his head, not knowing how to explain it for a while, so he motioned to Jiviel to wait, then picked up some of the remaining herbs on the table, accurately and quickly re-refined a bottle of swallow potion, then dipped a little, tasted it, with a smile on his face, and then handed it to Jiviel, and said, "You take it and shake it." ”
Jivielle looked at Leo's inexplicable behavior with a blank face, even though she felt very puzzled in her heart, she didn't make any inquiries, but took the potion according to Leo's instructions, and shook it casually in her hand.
"That's it. After shaking it twice, Leo stretched out his hand to stop it, then took the potion, dipped it a little more and tasted it, a wry smile appeared on his face, and said, "Sure enough, this witcher potion can only be transformed into a real swallow potion through your hands." ”
"I'm a little confused!" Givy Elle still hadn't figured out what Leo meant by doing this, and his words were even more clueless.
Seeing Jiviel's puzzled look, Leo did not hide his discovery, and said it directly.
It turned out that through the experiment just now, Leo found that the swallow potion he refined was actually successful, and the reason why it had no effect was because the person refining this potion was an outsider who did not belong to the demon hunter world. It was only through Jiviel's hand, even if she just picked up the vial and shook it, that the swallow potion with no medicinal effect could be infused with some mysterious power to transform it into a potion.
