Chapter 29: Potions

Tropos shook his head and said, "The function of this spatial barrier is to prevent people from relying on force to snatch treasures. To unlock this barrier, it is necessary to know where the spatial nodes laid out by the founders are. As long as you find that node, you can break down the barrier. But that node is hidden deeply, like a password. If the node is wrong, both the spatial barrier and the passage will disappear together. This node can be calculated by observing the magic fluctuations of the spatial barrier, but the time is longer. ”

"How long?"

"It depends on the ability of the founder. The stronger the ability, the faster the frequency of the magic fluctuation he sets, which is directly proportional to the magic perception. The faster the fluctuation, the deeper the node is hidden, and the harder it is to find. If it was set up by someone with a lower magical perception than me, then I was sure that it would be broken in a day. If it's the same as me, then it's estimated to be a month. If the barrier in front of me had been set up in Canduré, then I don't think it would have been possible to find the node in ten years. Tropos said bitterly. A character like her, who is also a genius, has hardly been stumped by magic since she was a child. Learning magic has always been easy. It would take ten years to crack a spell now, and that would be a brutal blow. It's just that reality has to make her admit that the field of magic is too vast, and now she sees only the tip of the iceberg.

"Ten years?" Ezreal froze. He had the impression that Tropos was simply a spirit born specifically for magic. As long as it's magic, there's nothing she can't learn. Now I was stumped by this inconspicuous space barrier in front of me.

"Is there any other way?" asked Ezreal tentatively. Ten years is too long, maybe he can give up a qiē to accompany Tropos. But Tropos wouldn't spend ten years on it.

"Maybe there's a way, but I haven't found it yet. Tropos said gloomily. She had been longing for this book of wishes for a long time, and if Ezreal hadn't come to find it, she would have found it herself. And it took a lot of time, and I almost died. The artifact is right in front of you, just one step away. It's really unwilling for her to give up like this.

There was silence between the two. Horn listened to the conversation, and when he saw Tropos's sad look, he couldn't help but feel a pang of distress. After thinking for a while, he said, "Is this spatial barrier so difficult to break?" Why don't you try this key? I guess if this key is the key to the magic tower in Candure, maybe it's also the key to the space barrier. So saying, he took out the round key and handed it to Tropos.

When the two of them heard it, they felt that it made sense. Tropos took the round key, observed and said, "Maybe this thing is the key to unlocking the spatial barrier, but how to use it?"

Tropos approached the spatial barrier with the round key, and suddenly felt that the frequency of the barrier's mana fluctuations had slowed down significantly, and the mana had lost somewhat.

Tropos couldn't help but rejoice. Keep that round key closer to the space barrier. The frequency of mana fluctuations slows down as the distance approaches, and eventually the fluctuations almost stop. Tropos observed carefully, and soon found the hidden spatial node. A little hand, a little magic point in the node. In an instant, the magic spread along the surface of the barrier. After the crisp sound of "pop", the space barrier shattered. The Book of Wishes also fell.

Tropos hurriedly picked up the Book of Wishes. It looks like a heavy book of wishes, but it seems to have no weight in your hand, and it is as light as a feather. Then I felt a powerful wave of magic flowing faintly. Through this book of wishes, the magic perception has reached a very strong acuity, and some vague places can now be seen clearly. Even the trajectory of the elemental particles, which make up the most basic form of magic, can be clearly seen. With such a book of wishes, it is like having endless magic.

"Tropos, Tropos ......"

Ezreal's anxious call woke Tropos to life. It turned out that the moment Tropos received the Book of Wishes, powerful magic fluctuations erupted. Ezreal thought something was wrong and hurriedly called.

"Nothing, just seeing something I hadn't seen clearly before. Tropos explained vaguely. In fact, I can't explain this feeling, so it's better not to say it.

looked at Horn next to him, handed him the round key, and said with a smile: "Thank you, if you hadn't reminded me just now, I wouldn't have been able to get the Book of Wishes." By the way, did you find that way?"

Horn took the round key, as if he could still feel the lingering fragrance left by the soft jade arm, and he was stunned. After a while, he said, "I can't read those magic books, and I don't know what to write." So I thought ......"

"You want me to help you find it, don't you? It's easy, I'll find it for you. Tropos said kindly. After getting the Book of Wishes, I was in a very good mood. And Horn played a big role, and his attitude towards Horn changed a lot, although he didn't like it or anything like it, but he also had a lot of good feelings.

Tropos picked up the magic book and flipped through it in a few pieces, basically a thick magic book only took a few seconds to turn over.

Horn couldn't help but say, "You haven't read it in detail, how do you know what is written in it." ”

Tropos did not reply, still flapping at great speed. Ezreal on the side chuckled and explained: "Tropos is born with the ability to remember, as long as she looks at it, she can immediately remember complex content. You see, she seems to be flipping through it inadvertently, but in fact, she has already read the whole book. ”

Horn was speechless, he knew that the two people in front of him were the pride of the sky. At the same age as himself, one was already a sixth-level high-level martial artist, and the other was a sixth-level high-level magician. In the past, he thought it was a gap in origin, and the difference between the guides was so big. Now I understand that the gap between myself and them is not only my background, but also my talent. Thinking of this, I felt that the distance from Tropos was simply unattainable. It's bitter beyond words.

"Found it," Tropos said excitedly. Holding a magic book, she said, this time she was not flipping through it quickly, but looking at it carefully. His face was uncertain. After a while, he exhaled and said, "This Candulei is really a genius that has not been encountered in a thousand years, and he can even think of this method." ”

Horn didn't seem happy to hear that he had found a way. Because his mind is still very low. He smiled reluctantly: "It's good to find it, now I can finally get rid of that damn contract." ”

Tropos didn't pay attention to the changes in Horn, and continued: "This method is called "rebirth and metamorphosis", and simply put, as soon as a person is born, talent is already decided. No matter how hard you try, there will hardly be any change in this talent. Even if you change, you won't make much progress. That's the difference between a genius and a mediocre. Of course, this is not absolute, and it can change the innate factor. Only those individuals with absolute powers, such as gods in heaven or powerful devils or demons in hell. But these tyrannical beings don't have the leisure to care about the crowds. That is equivalent to saying that the vast majority of people are born to determine the limits of their future development. That's how Candure started, since he was born to decide his talent, if his talent is not good, then can he do it all over again. It means like being born again. And when you start over, you have to make sure that your talent is better than the last time, otherwise there is no point. Candure invented a very peculiar potion, simply put, a potion that after drinking, it will start to fall into a coma, and then the brain will begin to degenerate, basically at a rate equal to a year. For example, if you are twenty years old now, and after drinking the potion, after twenty days, your brain will degenerate into a fetus in your mother's womb. This state is also a critical period for the gradual formation of the soul and brain, and as long as the soul and brain are perfectly developed during this period, then the birth of genius is about to be realized. ”

Horn and Ezreal couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when they heard this, and said in surprise: "According to this, as long as there is this kind of potion, then the world can have as many geniuses as it wants." ”

Tropos shook his head and smiled: "The imagination of this world is always beautiful, but the reality is always unsatisfactory. This potion is made from hundreds of ingredients, which are not very precious, but they are not all that common. To make a copy of this potion, it would cost three thousand gold coins at the current price. This cost is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford, even if an ordinary person can't make that much money in his lifetime. And Canduré did a lot of real yàn, here there are about a thousand records, and a thousand people were found to do the real yàn body. Some of these people are very talented, and some are idiots. The final result was very disappointing for Canduré. Although this is true, there is not a single example of death or failure. But the effect is not very good. Those who are gifted with outstanding talent hardly grow much after being reborn. On the contrary, he got an unexpected effect on the idiot, and he actually became a normal person, but his magic perception did not increase much. However, it is not a complete failure, out of a thousand people, one has reached the level of magic perception of a first-level magician, and there are a hundred normal people who have no magic perception at all can probably sense magic slightly. In the end, it was concluded that this potion worked, but the chance of drinking this potion to be called a magician was 1 in a thousand, and that this potion was completely useless against geniuses. In other words, Candure spent three million gold coins to create a first-class magician, and this magician could not be promoted again for life. ”

What is the idea of three million gold coins, the principality of Ezreal does not have that much income in a year. Three million gold coins in exchange for a first-level magician is too cost-effective.

Tropos looked at the two of them, and said with a mocking chuckle: "Do you think this potion is too chicken, three million gold coins! This Candure is definitely the super-rich among magicians." And it's the kind of loser. Of course, for his idea of creating a genius, it can be said that this invention is a complete failure. It can even be said to be a shame. That's why he kept the potion recipe on the shelf. ”
