Chapter 181 181. The Vine of Dionysus, the Curse on the Barley
Estner cares about, and actually thinks of more things than Cloya - because the latter has been practicing magic since he used " Poems of Rainbow Colors".
This extra-standard meditation method makes him completely free from the dilemma of most mages. Upgrading is simply a matter of course for him.
But Estner is different. He did not worship the Archmage Celesti as his mentor from the beginning. He deeply knows how important it is to improve the efficiency of meditation and the perception of elements.
Even a small improvement is definitely enough for the mages to fight for it regardless of their status.
The higher you go, the harder it becomes.
Estner asked: "How much is the output of this magic potion? Do you plan to sell it?"
"I can help you promote it in the Mage Association."
"It is still a little difficult to produce this kind of magic potion."
Chloe spread his hands: "First of all, the materials. The moonlight required by the Moonlight Spirit Dew Grass is very special. I have no choice. Capture enough.
The second is Hailingzhi. The output of this kind of Hailingzhi is not high, and it is even more troublesome to make it into a potion.
The last thing is the production method. This is a very difficult production method. It can only be made by myself, so the output quantity will definitely not be large. "
"It is normal for this special potion to be produced in small quantities. "Estner has no doubts.
After all, it would be strange if this extremely special potion could be produced in large quantities.
But now that Croya has taken it out, then It must have been planned to be sold, otherwise why was it used to tease him?
As he expected, Croya said:
"I I will purchase some special magical beasts and magical plants. When the purchase price reaches a certain stage, I will give away some of these magic potions. "
"Are you buying magic beasts and magic plants and paying for this kind of magic potion? What could make you do this? "
Estner was shocked, and then he asked carefully: "Special, like what? ”
In his opinion, Croya may want to collect some rare magic plants or monsters with special effects.
Only in this way can you be worthy of such a magic potion.
But in the end, Croya waved his hand and said: "For example, the fish that wants to fly, the earth element that wants to go to the sea...this kind of special."
"Of course. I can only confirm it by seeing it with my own eyes."
Estner: "..."
Okay, it's your thing anyway, you want to collect it. He didn't have any problem with some weird magic plants and monsters, he just thought they were a bit weird.
But then again, as long as you are a mage, who doesn’t have some special quirks?
Estner didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only ask: "I saw it with my own eyes, so if someone comes to you to sell... you wouldn't want to rent a space in the Shengquan Chamber of Commerce. Right? "
He was not stupid, and immediately thought of what Croya wanted to do. Only the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce could do this kind of direct meeting across thousands of miles.
The Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce not only has products for meeting in the deep blue fantasy world, but also has options that allow people to meet in person in a certain space.
But the price is very exaggerated.
After all, the cost of creating an illusion and transporting people to a certain space are definitely not the same.
"Yes." Croya nodded: "If there is really a good one, I will open the space after the conversation."
For Croya, rare magical beasts and Magic plants are the ladder for him to advance, and it is still acceptable to spend some magic crystals.
Things without a price are the most expensive - the reason he did this was to make the mages feel that this was not something they could buy with money.
Another reason is that he wanted to try if he could attract the attention of the Orpheus family through this method. If he could attract their attention and tell them about the oak tree, he would be able to solve a big problem.
Of course, such a transaction must wait until he has a sufficient amount of magic crystal reserves and potion reserves before he can start it. Now he needs to talk to Estner first.
When the time comes, Estner will need help with this matter.
"Okay, I will help you then."
"Thank you very much, I will give you some more of this magic potion when you leave."
< br>Kloya extended his hand and invited: "Let's go, continue to look at my magic plant."
"Let's go, I'm also curious about what else you planted."
Estner had actually noticed the area where the magic aura gathered nearby, but for some reasons he did not consider it casually. near.
Now that Croya is inviting, of course there is no such scruple.
The two talked and laughed, and soon came to the area where Croya planted thick soil potatoes and soothing lily of the valley.
At this time, the Houtouya and Anshen Suzuli had also been reproduced, and were also coldly cast by Croya to cut off the magic power.
So all their nutrients and magic will be concentrated on the flowers and fruits.
Especially the Soothing Lily of the Valley, they grew extremely huge after being treated in this way. They used to be no more than the size of a fist, but now they are the size of a football.
Strings of football-sized wind chime-like pink flowers hang on the branches, with a planting area of four to five acres. This scene can be said to be quite spectacular.
“Dingling bell~”
As the cold wind blows, the sound they make seems to bring a chilly feeling.
"What kind of magic plant are you, how come I haven't seen it before?"
Estner asked curiously: "The sound they make is a bit drowsy, it should have a soothing effect."
As he spoke, he moved closer to a flower and sniffed it gently.
What I smelled was a quiet fragrance mixed with biting cold air. My body felt cold and my mind was a little drowsy.
Huh? Don’t you know what kind of magic plant this is?
Chloë was a little surprised.
He thought that second-level magic plants like Soothing Lily of the Valley should be very common, but now it seems... maybe it was sold to him by the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce.
“This is a second-level magic plant I bought from the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce, called Soothing Lily of the Valley.”
“I am using its flowers to refine essential oil to make incense and magic plants. Medicine, do you want to try it?”
“Okay.”
Essential oils and incense are commonly used items for mages. Even a male mage like him has a huge incense burner in his room.
Good essential oils and incense are in short supply in the market.
"Here, here you go." Croya took out a bottle of essential oil made from this modified Soothing Lily of the Valley.
It is packed in a crystal clear crystal bottle. One bottle is only 12 ml. It has a pink texture and looks very beautiful.
Estner opened the bottle and took a sniff.
A fragrance stronger than the flowers comes. This fragrance does not refer to the strong taste, but its effect.
Just smelling this aroma, he had the urge to find a warm and comfortable place to have a good sleep.
The calming essential oil that can work on level three mages is really good.
"If you sell it, you should be able to sell about ten bottles of one magic crystal, but it depends on how long it takes to take effect..."
As he said this, he suddenly felt When something was wrong, he looked at Croya, pretending to be angry and said: "Wait, you guys want to use me as a potion tester, right?"
"Yeah." Croya didn't hide his meaning, he chuckled and said: "After all, I don't stay in the Mage Association often, so I don't know the price of anything."
"Don't be angry, when the time comes I’ll give you some more.”
“That’s pretty much it.”
He wasn’t really angry, because he knew that Croya was asking him to help. The idea behind selling is that as long as the product is good, there will definitely be a lot of people buying it.
Even if he is not the producer of these potions, he will definitely be able to establish some interpersonal relationships with these potions. In fact, it is a big pie from the sky.
After watching Soothing Lily of the Valley, Estner noticed the magic field grapevines that blocked the wind and snow.
"This...is this the Magic Field Grape Vine?" He was a little unsure after observing it carefully.
“You know?”
Since Croya brought him to the Demon Field, he had no intention of hiding it from him. But he didn’t expect that he didn’t recognize Suzuran Anshen, but actually recognized the Demon Field. Field grape vines.
“Of course I know.”
Estner remembered a story his mentor once told and licked his lips.
"Do you still remember the narcissus my mentor gave you before?"
"Remember, what's the matter?" Croya was a little strange, could it be that there was something between the two? Is it also related?
"It is something from a civilization ruins. It is a thank you gift that my mentor received after doing a favor for the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce. It is said to be related to a man named Narcissus."
< br>"..."
Cloya squinted his eyes. He remembered that the name of the narcissus after the change was called "Narcissus in Search of Beauty."
"Then this grapevine... is also related to that civilization relic?" Estner nodded: "At that time, the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce also presented the mentor with a glass of wine. It is said that it was produced from some magic field grapevine. Made from grapes
This vine was first planted by a god related to wine called Dionysus.
I was lucky enough to drink it. One drop, the smell is real, like embracing the whole nature and singing in the sunshine."
There was an intoxicated look on his face.
"Dionysus..." Croya chewed on the name, his heart moved, and he said curiously: "I have also heard that there is a god named Phobos. Is he the same as him? ?”
“Then I don’t know, but I heard from my mentor that the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce is probably related to this lost civilization relic.”
Kloya nodded. He looked at the magic field grape vines and suddenly thought... maybe the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce was aware of his magic power.
How else could I be given this by chance?
But he didn’t think for too long, as if he knew some secrets. After thinking for a moment, he continued to ask: “So you mean these grapes can also make wine?”
He still knows how to make wine, which mainly involves fermentation, but these are grapes generated by pure magic. Can they also be fermented?
"It is said that a special kind of magic power is needed to assist fermentation. The glass of wine given to the mentor at that time was also left in the ruins."
"The mentor became drunk after drinking that glass of wine. He said something like...wine is sunlight condensed by water."
"So I guess it involves some kind of magic power."
After hearing this, Croya felt that the key point may not be water, but sunlight. In his original world, there was a saying that wine is fermented by sunlight.
In addition, Phoebus may have other connections with Dionysus...
He decided to give it a try after a while.
But for the time being, he didn't say anything. He just said that he would give it a try and continued to visit his magic field with Estner.
The two of them finished visiting Croya's Flame Magic Field in the afternoon. During this period, Estner made a lot of suggestions.
For example, what kind of magic plants with similar attributes can be planted together, some special flames can be made to mutate, and then the soil can be replaced with volcanic soil or desert soil...
What he did These are the more common methods of planting and mutating magic plants, and Croya knows them all.
But he was still very grateful to Estner because he said it in detail.
As time went on and night fell, the wind and snow became more violent.
The two felt that it was almost done, so they returned to the castle. Croya returned to his laboratory after hosting a banquet for Estner.
...
While he and Estner were visiting the fields, the Obsidian King had already brought in Poseidon barley and a few bunches of grapes that looked as clear as crystal.
Now it is properly placed on his experimental table.
“Let’s study you first.”
He studied Poseidon Barley first.
As I just thought, research on divine power is obviously unrealistic, but it should still be possible to experiment with the power of water rays.
He directly soaked the Poseidon barley in the spring water with the essence of water. These spring water are the most ordinary spring water without magic.
All the magic power inside has been stripped out by Croya.
When the Poseidon Barley was soaked inside, the originally calm wheat ears suddenly began to tremble, and there seemed to be some power on its surface resisting the power of the water.
“What’s going on?”
Croya was a little surprised. This resistance force was so powerful that even the power of water essence could not penetrate into it.
Is this really something an ordinary plant can do?
"Did you do this on purpose?"
He murmured to himself and directly used his power to help inject the essence of water into the barley through the ability of Qiyao Separation Technique. .
This process was much more difficult than he imagined, because the power of resistance gradually increased as his magic power increased.
Even the Qiyao Separation Technique, which has always been very handy at separating and merging various forces, is a bit inadequate in the face of this force.
But the more this happened, the more he felt that there was a big secret in it.
He quietly increased the supply of magic power. In the small container, the water flow almost formed a vortex, and the blue vortex drilled Poseidon Barley violently like a drill.
“Zizzizi!”
It even made the sound of an electric drill.
Time passed by, and the clock demon next to him kept ticking. After about an hour, the resistance on the surface of the barley finally slowed down.
Cloya seized this opportunity and directly increased the supply of magic power.
“Ding!”
With a crisp sound.
The power of Shui Yao can finally enter Poseidon Barley.
Every grain of wheat is filled with the clear blue color of the power of water. At the same time, in Croya's eyes, the astral body inside it begins to light up rapidly.
It was so fast that Croya just blinked his eyes and Poseidon Barley's astral body was completely constructed, but the consumption of water essence also increased dramatically.
The blue color in the clear spring water can be seen with the naked eye being absorbed by Poseidon Barley. You must know that there is the essence of ten water crystals in it!
At most, a first-level magic plant can absorb the power of ten water crystals.
This made Croya realize that the astral body of this thing was probably forcibly formed by infusion of water essence, and it would be difficult to last.
Fortunately, the astral body is now completely formed - in the darkness, a clear blue barley plant stands.
The name of Poseidon Barley also changed as the growth of the astral body was completed, and became...
"Shui Yao mutated Poseidon Barley, try making it?"
Croya read out the name and found that the astral body that made up Poseidon Barley was slowly fading over time. Just as he thought, he probably couldn't hold on for too long.
This change comes from the inherent characteristics of Poseidon Barley, which not only repels magic power, but to be precise, it repels all power.
It forms complex magic patterns on the surface of Poseidon Barley, like layers of mountain peaks and the earth, and there is a vaguely huge power inside.
Chloe is very familiar with the nature and fluctuation of this kind of power. If he sees it every day and still doesn’t know about it, then it’s really a ghost.
That is...
"The divine power of the Mother Goddess of the Earth." Croya sighed softly: "Why is there the divine power of the Mother Goddess of the Earth on this?"
< br>Even he was a little confused. This was food. The Mother Earth would actually curse a food crop. If this was spread, it would definitely cause an uproar.
His temple and priests have been preaching the kindness of the Mother Goddess, and their greatest wish is to make everyone in the world eat.
Putting a curse on the food crops...
He had no time to think about it. Now he had to find a way to stabilize this mutation immediately and turn it from a temporary magic plant into a real magic plant.
After thinking for a short time, he thought of a way.
It was obviously impossible to remove these magic patterns. He could only find a way to bypass these magic patterns so that Poseidon Damai could absorb the magic power from the outside world.
For example, insert a straw.
He began to carefully carve the weak points of this magic pattern. The magic of the carving was called "Magic Channel", and it used the power of water.
This is actually a method that can only be used when engraving a magic circle. A separate channel can be established to allow magic power to flow inside more easily without affecting the original magic pattern.
Theoretically, it can coexist with most magic patterns.
Cloya doesn’t know if the Earth Mother’s magic patterns are included in this, but you can give it a try.
If it really doesn't work, he will consider using eternal magic power to sharpen his kung fu and slowly remove these magic lines.
You won’t suffer any loss anyway.
Fortunately, luck always favored him, and the engraving was successfully completed.
[Engraving completed, Poseidon Barley·Curse of the Earth Mother (Magic Energy Channel)]
[When this magic plant absorbs the power of water obsidian, it can bypass the Earth Mother through the magic energy channel God's curse, but this seal will gradually disappear over time. 】
【After the Earth Mother Goddess awakens, the seal at this moment will be completely ineffective. This situation can be avoided by changing the magic power of the seal. 】
【The current estimated remaining time is: 30 days. 】
【When possessing the seal of this moment, Poseidon Barley can only absorb the power of water rays. 】
