Chapter 217 Second Evolution
When the potion flowed into his mouth, Petty felt a burning sensation.
The dryness flowed down her throat into her stomach, spread from her stomach to her limbs, and then condensed inward from her limbs, rushing upwards and straight into her head!
She began to hear whispers. She couldn't tell what language they were in or what they meant. She just felt a splitting headache!
In front of Raven, she didn’t want to be rude, she just gritted her teeth and firmly suppressed the scream that was about to be exhaled from her mouth, but her body began to tremble uncontrollably, her hands were twisted together, and there were veins on the back of her hands. Violent.
Just when the pain reached its limit, she felt something explode in her mind, and then an inexplicable power was born in her body.
Petty slowly opened his eyes, feeling that the whole world had undergone subtle changes.
She could see that Raven's body was flashing with a faint blue light, she could see the energy flowing in the magic lamps on the ceiling, and she could also see tiny light spots floating in the air. .
When her breathing slowly subsided, Raven asked softly: "How do you feel?"
"It's...amazing!" Patty swallowed a gulp of saliva and put her own Telling everything about my feelings: "Lord Baron, what's wrong with me?"
Raven raised a smile on his lips: "This is a good thing."
In fact, there are not many personnel that Raven can choose. Except for those soldiers who have not yet become extraordinary, they are Petty, Old Gordon, and Feo. Na, and Denise who is currently far away in Meng City.
He was actually prepared that no one could become a magician, but he didn't expect that he succeeded with Petty!
Walking to Petty, Raven whispered: "You learn from me and take your time."
Petty nodded and began to imitate Raven's language, action.
She tried all four types: earth, water, fire, and wind. Raven also took her to try a variety of basic syllables that evoke elements, but no matter which one, there was no response.
Leaven sighed with some regret: "I'm afraid, you can only be an alchemist."
Magicians pay attention to talent, and being able to successfully awaken is undoubtedly lucky, and Petty She is precisely the most unlucky of all the lucky ones - her affinity for all elements is extremely bad, which can be said to be 0.
So although she has magic power, she cannot release even the most basic magic; although she can meditate, her efficiency in assimilating magic elements is not as good as 1% of that of a normal mage.
This is a common problem among all alchemists, and it is also the difference between alchemists and real magicians.
In fact, it is not impossible for alchemists to improve their ranks - they can use magic crystals to expand their magic pool, but this consumption is too great. From the first level to the second level, at least thousands of magic crystals are consumed. It costs tens of thousands of gold coins, and may not guarantee a successful breakthrough.
So, the vast majority of alchemists in history have only the first level.
"What do you mean...alchemy...master?" Petty was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily: "I am an alchemist!?"
With Lei The text is different. In Petty's opinion, alchemist is a very popular and mysterious profession, which is no worse than magician.
When she was a child, she heard that there once was an alchemist in Eagle Castle. Although he did not have a fief, he lived a wealthy and nourishing life, and had a high status. Even Baron Donald respected him. .
Unfortunately, with the decline of the Griffith family, the alchemist also left.
Looking at her happy look, Raven smiled slightly in his heart.
He judged others by himself, thinking that Petty would be disappointed, but now it seems that he has misunderstood.
After rejoicing, Petty looked a little uneasy. He pursed his lips and said, "Lord Baron..."
"What's wrong?" Raven asked.
"...If I become an alchemist, can I continue to serve you?"
Everything Petty has comes from Raven.
If it weren't for Raven, she might have been reduced to a member of the Crystal Palace, and she wouldn't even be able to enter the Crystal Palace.
Instead of being like now, as Raven's personal maid, you can get a salary of 9 gold coins every year.
It is good to be an alchemist, but if you leave Raven, the gains outweigh the losses.
Lord Baron is very considerate.
"This is a bit difficult..." Raven shook his head and saw that Petty's face was getting worse and worse, then he said: "I lied to you, of course you will do the job of the personal maid, and I will do the rest. I’m not used to it either.”
“No. But you have to take some time every day to learn the basics of alchemy. When the new castle is built, there will be an independent alchemy workshop. I will teach you in detail then."
Petty. Then he straightened his brows and was very excited.
Next, Raven's life returned to its previous state, insisting on meditating every day, using magic core to strengthen magic power, and practicing magic, but he would not overstress himself and would relax when it was time to relax.
If Raven has learned anything from this separation, it is to cherish the present and the people in front of you.
But this does not mean that Raven has given up or given up.
He continues to plan for his future, not only the improvement of personal strength, but also the construction of territory and army, as well as the driving force of all this-economic development.
In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed, and the time has come to the end of September.
The most unbearable heat has long passed, and the crops in the fields have been harvested. Seasonal vegetables with a shorter maturity period have been planted, and they are green and lovely.
Unlike ordinary crops, magic plants have their own growth rules.
With the transplantation of the 2,000 seeds that arrived in the last batch, the small courtyard where the magic plants were originally planted has also expanded in size.
Fortunately, Raven had left some margin at the beginning of the design, so the renovation was completed without much time.
Now this batch of 2,000 green peach plants has entered the mature picking stage. Based on market considerations, Lei Wen has all strengthened this batch of magic plants with life magic cores.
Each fruit has the quality of Beacon Treasure and exudes green light. From a distance, it looks like green clouds floating on the ground.
At this scale, Raven would probably break his back if he picked it by himself.
After much thought, I finally gave this task to the orphans in the orphanage.
He explained and demonstrated to them the key points of harvesting green peaches, and then let them disperse into the magic plant field.
The first 200 green peach trees planted were picked by Raven and Petty together.
This was Petty's first time practicing something related to magic in three months, so he seemed quite excited.
She put on a long coarse cloth dress suitable for activities in the fields, her hair was tied up, and her eyes were shining with excitement.
The slender arms are holding the basket, revealing the white wrists. As the steps move, the hem of the skirt touches the grass on the ground, like a swaying morning glory.
Petty was already beautiful. After taking the magic potion, although she failed to become a magician, it still gave her a unique temperament.
This attracted the attention of the young boys in the orphanage. They all looked for opportunities to come here and kept their eyes on her.
After all, in the orphanage, what they see every day is either a cold-faced nun or a little girl who has not yet grown up. A beauty like Patty who is transitioning from a young girl to a royal sister is really attractive.
Raven didn't care much about this. It was perfectly normal for a young child to like to look at his big sister.
However, when Raven appeared, especially when he was seen by Hoyaz, Banks, and Rhino Lennon, they immediately saluted, picked up the friends next to them and quickly dispersed.
Are you kidding me, are the Baron’s women also something they can see?
"Lord Baron, come and take a look!" Petty suddenly shouted.
Raven heard the words and leaned forward.
Beacon green peaches strengthened by Raven can bear the first batch of fruits about 3 months after planting. However, the yield of this batch is low, and only about 2-3 can be harvested from one plant. One fruit, that’s what the 2,000 trees are now.
In another year, it will mature again, and this time it will bear much more fruits. One plant can have as few as 5 or 6, and as many as 9-10, and its medicinal properties are also more Rich, just like the batch Raven is picking now.
This speed and output are not low.
Generally speaking, as a second-level magic plant, a green peach will mature for 4 or 5 years after its first fruiting.
I can become familiar with it so quickly now because of the help of the Eye of Truth. "Lord Baron, come and see!" Petty held up a green peach in his hand and looked a little panicked: "Did I do something wrong?"
"Indeed, I did. It's a bit strange." Raven clicked his tongue and took the fruit in his hand.
Regular green peach is about the size of a child's fist. It is green in color, covered with fluff, and soft to the touch. If you use too much force when picking, it will rot.
But this fruit, far from having any fuzz on its surface, is as smooth as a mirror and has a rather firm texture.
The most important thing is that its cut stem actually oozed red juice that looked like blood and smelled like blood.
However, after opening the Eyes of Truth, Raven discovered that the life force contained in this fruit was at least twice as high as that of ordinary fruits, and the quality was also higher!
"Interesting..." Lei smacked his lips: "Pay more attention, and I will work with you to put these special ones together."
"Okay!" Petty Nod in agreement.
There are a total of 200 green peach trees planted first, of which 100 are strengthened with life elements, and the other 100 are strengthened with blood elements. The fruits of both are also green and black.
After picking them this time, Raven discovered that about half of the fruits that had been strengthened with life elements had undergone strange changes, while those that had been strengthened with blood elements were still the same as before.
After picking, Raven returned to the secret room, took out a copy of "Middles' Encyclopedia of Magic Ingredients" and read through it carefully.
Even in the part about the Green Peach with Green Roots, I couldn’t find any relevant records at all. I kept reading backwards until I found something very similar to the third level part.
That is something called "essence of life", the source of which is unknown. It has an excellent therapeutic effect on trauma, and its effect is not inferior to third-level therapeutic potions.
Although the graphics are very similar to these mutated fruits, they are not classified as magic plants, but as magic minerals.
"Weird..." Raven thought for a while and gave Xikrete a few instructions.
The black cat gave Raven a blank look, jumped out of the door and disappeared.
Soon, William came to the secret room.
His arm has fully recovered.
"Master!" William saluted with his hand on his chest.
Raven smiled gently: "Be patient, don't complain about the pain."
"Huh?"
A few minutes later, William looked at the table with a sad face as he was chopped off at the wrist. Palm, want to cry but no tears.
Leaven picked up a mutated fruit and handed it to him: "No, eat it."
William swallowed it in one gulp.
The body structure of vampires is different from that of ordinary people, and many medicines that can treat injuries have no effect on them.
But when the fruit is eaten, the sweet and sour juice explodes in the mouth, and it immediately turns into surging life energy.
On his broken wrist, the bones grew bit by bit. They were first covered with a layer of fleshy membrane, and then blood vessels began to grow in it. Around the blood vessels, muscles began to grow.
In just five minutes, he had a brand new hand.
William rubbed his eyes red, still unable to believe the reality he saw.
The vitality of vampires is strong, and it is true that they can regenerate severed limbs, but this requires the consumption of blood energy.
Growing a new hand not only consumes the blood energy produced by sucking at least five ordinary people, but also takes at least half a month!
But under the influence of this fruit, not only is the blood energy not consumed, the remaining life energy is also slowly converted into blood energy!
"It's...incredible!" William looked at his newly grown palms repeatedly: "Master! This kind of life essence is a specialty of the elves. For ordinary people, even if the intestines leak out, it will still be... It can be cured quickly. I have only heard of it in legends. Where did you get it?"
Leaven nodded slowly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
With sufficient support of life elements, Beacon Green Peach can evolve into Beacon Treasure, and Beacon Treasure can evolve into Life Essence!
At this moment, the door to the secret room opened and Annuo walked in.
She was still wearing a brown cloak. She took off her cloak, revealing that holy and noble face that looked like a sculpture.
“Essence of life?” A hint of surprise appeared on Annuo’s face: “You are actually able to cultivate the green peach to this extent.”
“And we haven’t seen each other in such a short time. , you have been promoted to the third level, which is really amazing.”
When William saw Annuo, he was like a mouse meeting a cat. He immediately shrank respectfully to his side, fearing that Annuo would notice him.
That power is so terrifying!
Leaven asked: "Did you know that the Green Peach can evolve into the Essence of Life?"
"The first plant in the world is the World Tree, which is the ancestor of all plants. Annuo's voice was calm: "Not only is it the most sacred totem of the elves, but it has also given birth to countless The seeds have evolved all magic plants and plants."
"And the Green Peach is the most direct descendant of the World Tree. If cultivated properly, it can return to its ancestors and grow into a third-level life essence. The fifth-level Dettol Maple, and even the seventh-level Tree of Life.”
Raven was familiar with the Tree of Life, it was the raw material of his staff.
Tree roots and trunks are fifth-level materials, leaves are sixth-level materials, and tree cores are seventh-level materials.
Annuo continued: "Maybe you will be able to cultivate a tree of life in the future, or even a real world tree."
"Is this also a prophecy?" Raven asked.
“No, it’s just an expectation.” Annuo smiled: “I came to you this time because I heard that you have bred a batch of flying hippogryphs?”
< br>
"Yes." Raven nodded.
Now the batch of 272 hippogryphs has been basically strengthened by him. If it weren't for the fact that the personnel still need training and are not available at the moment, he would have already had an entire flying brigade.
Speaking of which, there are still 59 enhanced hippogryph eggs, and I don’t know when they will be hatched.
Annuo asked: "Can you give me a batch? It doesn't need to be too many, just 5."
Lei Wen said: "Can I ask, why?"
Annuo did not hide this either.
The construction progress of the college is visibly improving, and Annuo is also looking for his students all over the world during this time.
She herself is fine, but it’s a bit difficult to bring the person she likes back, and her magic pet Xiao Mo can’t fly.
That’s why I came to Raven to ask for a group of hippogryphs.
Of course Raven would not refuse this. There were only 5 hippogryphs, and their value was worthless compared to the formula of the magic potion.
With Raven's promise, Annuo left.
That night, Lei Wen sent someone to transport the picked pecans to the factory in Xuefeng Town.
Early the next morning, as the deliveryman came to report back, good news reached Raven's ears: the new factory had finally completely overcome the technical difficulties, and the quality and output had stabilized.
“It’s finally time.”
Raven sighed, and habitually took out the quill Lux gave him, then put it away and replaced it with an ordinary pen , took out a piece of parchment and started writing.
He is writing a letter.
The content of the letter is very simple - Raven Ota Griffith, willing to marry Miss Nancy of the Fox family.
