73. Tonics for the moon rabbit species
"Zizi... Feel free to sit down, Mr. Fisher."
Fisher followed Herdor to his downstairs magic workshop, and Sister Yinros went back to rest first, her stomach was not quite well, and it was quite difficult for her to run outside for a day today, and besides, magic was not her specialty.
Herdor's magic workshop was where he usually lived, and when Herdor opened the door and entered, a fairly neat and clean magic workshop appeared in front of Fisher's eyes.
On the left is a neat row of bookshelves, and in the center is a square wooden table with a complete set of magic engraving tools, among which there are several drill knives and slot engravings that Fisher did not use, indicating that Herdor in front of him is an experienced old magician.
There was no bed for resting in the room, and the rest of the space was a stack of stacked magical materials, which were used to engrave any type of material, and they were very valuable, as a magician of the Turan family, I don't think Heldor would be short of these.
"Zizi... Sorry, I don't need to eat or drink, so there is nothing in the room to entertain guests. Feel free to look through the contents of my room, and I want to give you something too."
Fisher found a chair to sit down, scanned the surroundings, and when Herdor went to the storage area next to him to look for something, he also happened to see several engraved magic rings on the table, and there was a notebook next to it, on which a spell that Fisher was quite familiar with, which was the one he had improvised on the island, but he didn't expect it to be recorded by Herdor.
But now Fisher suddenly thought of a question, the magic circuit exists in the soul, and the cardinal only copied Hodor's consciousness to the cardinal, why can Hodor continue to engrave magic?
Could it be that his soul was also put into the cardinal? But the cardinal has made it clear that he didn't do so...
Before this question could be answered, Herdor, who was in front of him, suddenly interrupted his thinking,
"Zizi... When I watched Mr. Fisher's engraving magic, I was so enthusiastic that I recorded this new barrier magic by the way, thinking that I could use it when I was looking for other sigils for Valentina in the future, and by the way, I also studied a little improvement, and Fisher could check it for me to see if it was appropriate."
Fisher smiled and took the notes on his desk, and found that Hardor had made a subtle alteration to the side ring, making the scope and degree of the barrier stronger, using the same nested structure that their northern magicians liked, so that other spells could be embedded within this barrier magic.
Emhardt couldn't read what the two magicians had written, so he flew to Hrdor's bookshelf with some boredom and scanned the books on it, but didn't seem to find anything he hadn't read.
"These changes are fully usable, and the design is very clever, the time was too short, and now looking back, the magic design still has a lot of loopholes, especially about the side ring, if you are unlucky, it will probably lead to the curse leaking..."
"Zizi... Not even Haytham could have created applied magic in such a short period of time, and he was lucky to have a student like you."
Herdor spewed steam under his mouth, and then returned to Fisher with a box of magical materials, his tone always with a mechanical dullness, very similar to the cardinal's feeling, but the humanity in his words was so obvious that it was easy to recognize that the object hidden in the machine in front of him was a person's consciousness.
It was not clear whether the Helldol in front of him was a real Heldor, but Fisher suddenly remembered something strange about him when Valentina gave the order to Hellor at the dinner table just now, and he keenly sensed that this might be an opportunity to deepen his understanding of Valentina and even the Turan family, so he inadvertently asked,
"Mr. Herdor, I don't know if I'm wrong... I always thought you weren't a little upset when Miss Valentina put the two of us in charge of magic just now?"
"Zizi..."
Hearing Fisher's question, Herdor's face full of parts paused slightly, but the action of opening the material box was not slow at all.
"Ah, I'm not upset, especially not for Valentina, I'm just... It's just a little frustrating."
"Frustrated?"
Herdor shook his head, and the light of the cardinal on the surface of his body was slightly revealed, taking his presence and mechanical form for a moment,
"Zizi... I shouldn't have told you so much, but since Valentina has put you and me working together, I'm going to have to talk to you about her intentions, because it might have buried your talent... I've mentioned to her what you are capable of, but she doesn't trust you enough at the moment, and I hope you can understand."
"As you can see, I don't look like a human at all, do I? This is because a few years ago, my body was so old that I had to leave the world... But Valentina was reluctant to let me go, and she made a deal between the family and a mysterious person, and put my soul in this copper skin and iron bones. To be honest, for a retainer like me, who bears the surname "Turan", this is a great favor."
Fisher knew a little about the Turan family before he came to the North, as mentioned before, the members of the Turan family all lived in a mysterious snowflake fortress and never came out, but after all, they still needed to manage this behemoth that stood in the North, so they selected the most loyal ones from their in-laws and retainers and gave them their own surnames, and Herdor was the retainer who was given the surname.
"Zizi... I thought I could use this mechanical body to serve Valentina again, but recently, I seem to have contracted another illness... Sometimes I would suddenly lose consciousness, sometimes I would suddenly be in a daze, dreaming of the past, Valentina thought I was overworked, so she always wanted me to stay on the ship, and she arranged for you and me to work together, and I am afraid that she did not want me to participate in the complicated work of finding the plane tree..."
Hardor's voice sounded a little muffled, maybe for someone like him who had already died once, letting him function to the fullest was what he wanted, but it was clear that Valentina had a deep affection for him, otherwise he would not have made a deal between the Turan family and the cardinal, creating a cardinal body specifically for a retainer.
And the Turan family's acceptance of Valentina's seemingly naïve request certainly had their own considerations, for example, why did the task of finding the Frost and Snow Sycamore Tree fall on Valentina's shoulders?
In just a few words, Fisher received a lot of information, but he didn't ask Herdor for more in-depth answers, because their relationship was not so close.
Heldor's willingness to tell Fisher this information was because he had been called by Valentina to the magical logistics to paddle, fearing that he would have an idea in his mind.
"Zizi... Don't mind, I've already died once, I don't care about that, and Valentina needs me in search of the Frost and Snow Sycamore Tree, she'll understand... Don't talk about that, Mr. Fisher, I didn't call you here to vent bitterness, please look at these things."
He pointed to the magic materials he had just brought over, and Fisher soon discovered that these materials could not only be used to engrave magic, but were also extremely useful medicinal materials, which were very effective in curing diseases and strengthening the body.
"Qatar dried yellow grass, ivy, cold fruit powder, hot sun powder... These aren't supposed to be engraved magic for me, are they?"
"Zizi... When I saw the rabbit nun before, I noticed that her body was very poor, and I boiled her with dried yellow grass, ivy powder and Korean fruit powder, which can quickly replenish nutrition and improve her physique. It's a home remedy I read in the Turan family's medical book, saying that it can quickly eliminate the pregnancy phase when applied to the lower abdomen of a pseudopregnant moon rabbit species, I don't know if it's useful, you can give it a try."
Emhart flew back with a shocked expression, and Fisher took the herbs and laughed a little.
"It's hard to imagine that the Turan family still has a medical book for subhuman treatments..."
"Zizi... This is the ancestral tradition of the Turan family
Their family's library has a lot of books that look quite surprising to outsiders, and this is just one of them, otherwise we wouldn't have found so many clues about the Six Phoenix Scroll Clan."
Emhardt sat on Fisher's shoulder with some emotion, looking at the other party expectantly, expecting Herdor to say a little more about the Turan family library, but unfortunately, he quickly held the engraving tool next to him with a spit, and invited Fisher,
"Zizi... Then the rest of the time is still long, and Mr. Fisher would not mind doing a few high-ring spells with me if he wasn't tired. After changing to a new body, my magic circuit seems to have shrunk a lot, and I no longer have the ability to engrave high-ring magic. Hehe, but the magic of the high ring is essential in the future operation, so it will also allow me to get a closer look at Mr. Fisher's excellent magic engraving ability..."
Fisher raised his eyes and glanced at the mechanical arm holding the carving knife in the other party, and he was also quite curious in his heart how Herdor engraved the magic with the consciousness of copying, could it be that the cardinal's memory was wrong, and he actually put Hodor's soul into the cardinal?
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
As the magic circuit on Fisher's body lit up little by little, Hrdor also lit up a little bit of light that was no different from the human magic circuit, but that light was filled with Fisher's rather familiar blue light, as if it was some kind of mottled clutter of soul and cardinal light.
"Buzz..."
Looking at the blue light, Fisher's brow furrowed slightly.
