Chapter 179 The formula of the mage potion
Today's Annuo's outfit is different again.
She wears a purple crystal hair crown on her head, with purple radiance scattered like stars, complementing the crystal headband on her forehead.
Under the full forehead, the clear eyes are deep and charming, but they seem to be hazy, making it difficult to capture her mood.
A brown cloak hangs behind him, and on the cloak, complex magic lines appear and disappear, making it even more mysterious and elegant.
Raven was not very surprised by Annuo's sudden visit.
Anno is not a person who can settle down. Although he has his own room in the castle, he still disappears frequently and then reappears without knowing when.
At first everyone in the castle was a little strange about this, but gradually they got used to it.
“Come in and talk.” Raven walked into the secret room, and Annuo followed.
Seeing the badge on Raven's chest, Annuo raised his eyebrows: "Second level?"
Although Raven was chosen in the end, there were actually six nobles that Annuo expected to invest in, and she also conducted detailed investigations on each of them.
It has only been ten months since Raven became a magician.
This kind of speed of promotion is really rare.
"It seems that your talent in the path of magic is not inferior to your talent as a noble."
"It's just a fluke." Raven smiled, not hiding his emotions. Deyi: "Sorry, wait a moment."
With that said, Raven turned around and placed the tray on the shelf on the table.
The tray is very deep, with about three inches of soil. The densely planted green peach seedlings in it have begun to take shape, one by one, breathing soft green fluorescence.
Leaven took out a wooden shovel and cut the soil.
The amazing thing is that when the clod of soil is cut open, the roots of the green peach will contract back like squid tentacles and huddle together without any damage.
This is almost a unique vitality state of wild magic plants. It is impossible to see it in an artificial cultivation environment. If the old guy in the Mage Guild who specializes in magic plants is present, he will definitely regard it as a treasure.
Annuo is neither an old guy nor a mage, but she is also aware of the preciousness of this magic plant. Taking out just one plant is enough to make many mages and alchemists break their heads, but Raven has more than a dozen trays here!
She watched Raven's movements quietly, and waited until Raven had almost finished handling them before speaking: "These magic plants of yours are very good, are you going to sell them to the Mage Guild?"
Raven shook his head: "It would be a pity to sell such good raw materials. I Decided to use it for myself."
Annuo frowned: "Do you know how to do alchemy?"
Originally, Raven meant to wait for these magic plants to mature and sell them to nobles and wealthy businessmen. , but according to Annuo's meaning, he misunderstood that Raven was going to use these magic plants to refine the magic potion.
The details were a bit troublesome to explain, and the ultimate goal was to exchange money, so Raven did not correct him, but continued along the topic: "I'm just getting started."
Annuo nodded slowly: "In that case , I just have a gift for you."
A blue light flashed between her slender fingers, and an ancient scroll appeared in her hand.
This scroll is about one foot long, and you can still see the defects eroded by time on the edges. It is not extraordinary at first glance.
With a flick of his fingers, the scroll fell on the table in front of Raven.
"What is this?" Raven stretched out his hand to get it.
"The formulas for the mage's awakening potion range from first level to third level." Annuo said.
Raven's movements suddenly froze. He retracted his palm and looked at Annuo: "Why?"
The Mage Awakening Potion is monopolized by the Mage Guild, and the inventory within the Church of Light is also from The Mages Guild is here.
This formula is as precious as a photolithography machine and cannot be overemphasized.
To be able to come up with such a thing, one can imagine how difficult it is for Annuo to ask for it.
"College." Annuo said.
“Isn’t the territory already planned?” Raven was a little confused.
The knight territory Annuo needs has been determined and divided, and it is located in a mountain valley northeast of Xuefeng Territory.
The land there is quite fertile, and dozens of families of serfs originally settled there. Now they have been moved out and completely sealed off. Even if Annuo is playing forbidden spells inside, the outside world will not notice.
"You will also need your help in the subsequent construction." An Nuo said: "My only requirement is that it must meet the standards of a college that can be passed down for thousands of years."
"Oh, so that's it..." Lei Wen suddenly realized.
Yes, building a college from scratch is even more difficult and cumbersome than the construction of Raven's New Castle.
Overall design, material selection, manpower management, project planning and actual construction, without a professional team, it is indeed difficult for Annuo to handle it alone.
And Annuo is obviously not the kind of person who will let himself be tired of mundane affairs.
This is treating Raven as a contractor.
The knight's collar covers an area of 3.7 square kilometers. Although Annuo's standard is simple, the simpler it is, the harder it is to achieve it. Dozens or millions of gold coins have been invested in it. It is also normal for the past few years or more than ten years.
But even so, this is still not equal.
Raven believed that if Anno gave it to any king, he could get himself a county.
“The value of this scroll is too high.” Raven rubbed his chin: “Why do you have to exchange it for it?”
Annuo's smile was meaningful: "Just take it as it is, this is fate."
The words were ambiguous and not a reliable reason, which reminded Raven of a sentence.
The gift given by fate has already been marked with a secret price.
After thinking again and again, Raven still held the scroll in his hand.
This is a big step to help him realize his ambition!
Obtaining the formula for the Mage Awakening Potion broke the monopoly of the Mage Guild, which meant that Raven could now bypass the Mage Guild and run his own group of magicians!
Even a first-level magician can use the mud, water mist or wind wall techniques to change the battlefield environment.
What's more, refining magic potions, carving magic circles, and making enchanted equipment and props are all tasks that only magicians can do!
Since the Mage Guild can create temperature-control arrays, magic lamps, magic elevators, and even platforms like Deep Blue, Raven can also lead a team of magicians to create his own magic products. !
Magic is the primary productive force in the world.
A new door has opened in front of Raven!
Seeing Raven accept the scroll, Annuo smiled: "Then, the construction of the college will be left to you."
"Don't worry, I will arrange it. Yes." Raven said.
Annuo nodded, turned and left, because she could see that Raven couldn't wait any longer. This is indeed the case.
As soon as Annuo left, Raven took a deep breath and opened the scroll. Immediately, dense elven writing appeared in front of him.
If he hadn't learned the basics of alchemy from Bucky, I'm afraid Raven wouldn't be able to understand it at all. Even if he learned it, there were still many terms that Raven couldn't understand.
This is normal. After all, this scroll is too old, and many of the terms on it already have other names, or simply no longer exist in the current alchemy system.
Raven had no intention of asking Bucky.
The fact that I have mastered the magician's awakening potion is a top secret. Just like the Eye of Truth, it cannot be known to anyone.
A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade.
Any time a little bit of information is revealed, you are making a joke with your own life.
So Raven decided to understand what he could understand first.
The official name of the Mage Awakening Potion is "Magic Casting Potion". Depending on the level, the materials used are also different. The most basic first-order potion requires five raw materials, the second-order potion requires seven, and the third-order potion requires five kinds of raw materials. There are even eleven levels.
And its principle of action is completely different from that of the god-given potion.
Although he did not master the formula of the God-given potion, Raven had observed the awakening process of Volaf and others. The God-given potion was forcibly poured into the human body and ignited the seeds of life in the body. It was a creative process from scratch.
But the magic potion itself does not contain much energy. Instead, it uses the power of the potion to squeeze the potential of the user, allowing them to awaken their inherent talents and abilities.
The two are like martial arts and immortality in immortality novels. Everyone can practice martial arts, but immortality must have spiritual roots.
"No wonder there are so few magicians on the mainland." Raven said to himself: "Talent cannot be obtained by just stacking resources."
With the formula, Raven's heart The idea of refining potions became a bit uncontrollable. He opened the dark blue platform and first bought a "Summary of Alchemy" for one thousand three hundred and twenty-seven gold coins.
According to the introduction, this book introduces in detail the process of alchemy from its birth to the present day, as well as explanations of the proper nouns at each stage.
Then Lei Wen thought for a moment and finally typed the term "Congyun Kumquat" in the search bar.
Congyun Kumquat is a third-level magic plant and the main raw material throughout the first to third levels of magic-casting potions. In addition, it can also be used to refine "purification potions" that restore magic power and improve meditation. The "golden suspension elixir" of efficiency.
As for other raw materials, Raven plans to slowly purchase them through other channels during this period, even if they are more expensive.
If you really buy them all on the Deep Blue Platform, it will be like telling the Mage Guild that Raven has mastered the formula for the magic potion.
Finally, Cong Yun Kumquat appeared on the dark blue interface. The moment he saw the number, Raven almost spit out a mouthful of blood on the screen!
“Robbery!?”
The usual price of third-level magic plants is between six hundred and one thousand three hundred gold coins, and the price of seeds is also similar.
Due to its own particularity, the fruits produced by Congyun Kumquat are divided into low-grade, medium-grade and high-grade fruits, corresponding to the first, second and third grades respectively.
The first-level fruit is worth 633 gold coins, the second-level fruit is worth 1,509 gold coins, and the third-level fruit is worth up to 3,869 gold coins.
And its seed alone costs 14,907 gold coins!
Not only that, there is a bracket at the end of this word, which says (2).
It’s still a limited sale!
You know, after all the big spending before, Raven only had more than 20,000 gold coins left in his hand. Counting the book, if he bought it, he would only have 7,000 left. Much more.
In this moment of hesitation, the number behind changed (1).
At this time, Deep Blue also "intimately" popped up a reminder:
"The production of Congyun kumquat seeds is not stable, so the replenishment time is difficult to determine."
This is simply forcing People hurry up and place orders.
“Profiteer!”
Raven gritted his teeth, and finally decided to buy with pain, and spent more than a hundred gold coins to buy an additional third-level magic core with void attribute. .
After closing the Deep Blue Platform, Raven began to transfer the magic plant seedlings he had cultivated: "Just wait, when I refine the magic potion, one day I will put this profiteer platform of yours out of business!"
Magic plants cannot be planted in ordinary farmland. Raven had already ordered someone to build a small courtyard next to the castle as a planting place for magic plants.
The land where magic plants can be grown is called "Magic Field", which is the abbreviation of "Magic Field", and it costs a lot to build.
First of all, to plant magic plants with different attributes, you need to crush the magic core of the corresponding attribute in the magic field to increase the corresponding element content.
Furthermore, planting cannot be started immediately after the magic core is crushed. You must wait for at least a week to allow the elements in the magic core to fully penetrate into the soil. Otherwise, too strong elements may cause the magic core to penetrate into the root system. Damage is commonly known as "root burning".
Secondly, after crushing the magic core, a magic circle called "Magiwater" must be arranged around the magic field to lock the elements in the magic field and make the magic power in the magic field more abundant.
After this, you can plant magic plants.
Now the field is divided into three parts, one big and two small. The big one is the magic field with the fire attribute, and the two smaller ones, one is the life attribute, and the other is the blood attribute, corresponding to each other. Two different branches of green peach.
When Raven transplanted the magic plant seedlings one by one, he did not encounter the troubles that other mages often encountered when planting magic plants - such as the magic plants shrinking and refusing to be buried in the ground, and the magic plants becoming entangled. In the hands of the mage, the magic plant died with a bang.
Maybe it’s because Raven had already extracted the rotten soul essence from the magic field beforehand.
After the planting was completed, Raven looked at the green plants in the yard and showed a satisfied smile, but it was not finished yet.
Next, there is the final step of planting the magic plants.
Leiwen took out his staff and chanted the incantation slightly.
As the voice sounded, traces of light blue magic flowed out of Raven's body and rose into the sky, like smoke and mist.
Slowly, the originally sunny sky turned cloudy, and a shadow enveloped the small courtyard.
The staff turned in Raven's hand, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be disturbed and turned into a funnel shape.
There was a sudden sound of wind.
Subsequently, the dense rain was squeezed out of the clouds and fell on the ground.
The rain was not dense, it only covered the courtyard and surrounding areas, falling on Raven and lightly moistening his clothes.
The smell of earth fills the air.
Outside the courtyard, the weeds on the ground suddenly began to grow crazily. They were originally only as high as the instep, but they grew visibly to the naked eye. In just a few minutes, they grew to waist-deep!
In contrast, the growth rate of the magic plants is not that significant, but they are getting stronger and stronger. Each plant has straight branches and lush leaves. Even a layman can tell at a glance that they are growing well.
Ten minutes later, the dark clouds that only shrouded the small courtyard dispersed, and Raven also breathed a sigh of relief: "This kind of second-level magic that is continuously guided is still a bit difficult to cast."
"It seems that we have to pay close attention to meditation and magic core absorption, and strive to advance to the third level as soon as possible."
As he said that, his eyes fell back to the magic field.
He has begun to look forward to seeing these magic plants turn into gold coins and return to his pocket.
