Chapter 49: Ring-raising Potion
“What are these pages?”
Gothe picked up the small stack of yellowed pages placed under the potion formula, While thinking.
His interest became extremely high because of the huge harvest.
The spell formulas and potion prescriptions are all here.
He really couldn't think of any other pages that were worthy of being placed so solemnly in the magic wooden box with a secret magic lock by Master Seda.
Gaode flipped through a few pages at random, glanced at them briefly, and couldn't help but be stunned.
It turned out to be a stack of letters.
Most of them are letters from the city of Bremen.
There was also a letter written by Master Seda. It should be a letter he had written and prepared to send somewhere, but he died in Gothe's hands before he could send it.
In Gaode's understanding, Master Seda was an evil mage with no relatives and a withdrawn personality. It was precisely because of this that he dared to take over the medicine garden with confidence.
How could such a person exchange so many letters?
Who is the letter addressed to?
Some worries arose in his heart.
I don’t know if Master Seda has any other mage friends, right?
If this is the case, maybe this person found out that Master Seda suddenly stopped exchanging letters, felt something strange, and came to visit him.
He has no confidence that he can kill another senior mage apprentice.
Gaode felt a little uneasy, and at the same time he was very curious, and he quickly browsed this small stack of letter paper in detail.
After reading it, Gao De breathed a sigh of relief.
This is not a letter to a close friend, but should be called a letter home.
"Taken together, you are not alone."
Gaode couldn't help but sigh.
This small stack of letters turned out to be letters sent from Master Seda’s wife who was far away in Bremen.
Master Seda’s wife has been sending a letter every six months or so since ten years ago.
It lasted ten years and contained twenty letters.
From the contents of these twenty letters, Gothe roughly pieced together Master Seda's past.
It turns out that Master Seda was born in a family of mages in the city of Bremen, and could barely be regarded as a second-generation magician.
His family was once prosperous.
When it was most powerful, there was one second-level mage and nearly ten first-level mage members in the family, which was considered a considerable mage force in the city of Bremen.
After many generations of inheritance, his family began to decline. Until the last four generations, there has never been a first-level mage, so it gradually declined.
By the time of Master Seda's generation, he was the only male left in the once-large family.
And his mage talent is actually average.
Relying on some of the wealth left by the family and taking a lot of magic potions, he was only able to reach the level of third-class apprentice at the age of thirty-five, making him almost a hopeless first-level mage.
Master Seda originally accepted his fate.
Although he has no talent for cultivation, he has unexpectedly made some achievements in the field of potions. He successfully mastered the potion prescriptions obtained when his family was prosperous.
Relying on this livelihood, although the life is not as good as when the family was prosperous, it is still decent. At least in the city of Bremen, you can have enough food and drink.
However, somehow, a rumor spread in a small area, saying that Master Seda's ancestors had passed down several precious extraordinary items from generation to generation.
An ordinary man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade.
Mage Seda noticed that some inexplicable snoops began to appear near his house, and he also heard this rumor.
Although he has poor qualifications, he can be considered a master at this age, and he is keenly aware that there must be a black hand behind this matter.
As a last resort, Master Seda had no choice but to take the risk and try to "level up" without any confidence and lack of preparation.
What is "Rising Ring"?
It is the process of a mage apprentice being promoted to a first-level mage.
A more understandable translation is "building the foundation".
Only by being promoted to a first-level mage can it be possible to scare away these well-meaning snoops and deter the black hands behind them.
As a result, the promotion failed as expected.
Mage Seda also suffered a severe loss of vitality due to his failure in promotion, and his lifespan was drastically reduced, showing signs of premature aging. Those snoopers were already ready to take action, but he failed to get promoted and became extremely weak. Didn't he only embolden the villains who secretly coveted his family's property?
Master Seda also understands this truth.
With no choice but to explain everything to his wife, he left his hometown, fled, and quietly came to Hogan City to live in seclusion.
However, when he was absconding, in order to avoid being discovered by others and cover up others' eyes and ears, Master Seda had to leave his wife and children in the city of Bremen and abscond alone.
And in order to ensure that his traces would not be traced, Master Seda had no contact with his wife for three years.
It was not until three years had passed that the black hands hiding in the dark had lost their patience and must have concluded that he had fled with his family property and abandoned his wife and children, and would no longer pay too much attention to his wife. Reconnect with your wife according to the method agreed upon with her when we separated.
Mage Seda was forced to live in seclusion in Hogan City and was separated from his wife and children. He was full of grievances.
Not to mention that his failure to be promoted to a first-level mage also caused his life span to decrease and the vitality in his body to decline.
In order to be reunited with his family and return to the city of Bremen in an honest manner, and also to increase his lifespan and avoid premature death from aging, Master Seda must try to "level up" again and be promoted to a first-level mage.
But how difficult is it for the mediocre Mage Seda to be promoted to a first-level mage?
Especially since he has already failed once and injured his origin, it is even more difficult to advance to a higher level.
Unless you drink the ring-raising potion, there may be a chance.
What is the magic potion for raising the ring?
If "Rising Ring" is "foundation building", then "Rising Ring Magic Potion" is actually equivalent to "Foundation Building Pill".
The problem is:
The "Enhancing Magic Potion" is as valuable as the "Foundation Building Pill".
The magic potion used in the Principality of Xien to increase the spirit is called "Water of Spirit Ascension".
As for the "Water of Ascension", because the output of one of its main materials is very small, the entire country produces very little "Water of Ascension" in a year.
The "Water of Ascension" produced every year must first undergo a round of internal digestion before a small amount flows out to the market. It is not something that Master Seda can buy at all.
Fortunately, his ancestors also left behind a incomplete recipe for psychic potion.
It is said that this is an ancient potion from the ancient Misr Dynasty.
This gave Master Seda hope.
As long as he completes the psychic potion formula and successfully prepares the psychic potion, he can exchange the psychic potion formula for the "Water of Ascension",
No matter how precious and rare the "Water of Ascension" is, it is definitely not as good as a prescription for a level 1 magic potion.
After drinking the "Water of Ascension", try to "Ascend the Level" again. If he can successfully advance to the first level mage, the problem of lifespan will be solved, and he can return to the city of Bremen in an honorable manner. Reunion with family.
Adhering to this thought, Master Seda began to devote himself to completing the "psychic potion" prescription without hesitation, almost becoming obsessed with it.
Since reconnecting with his wife, Master Seda will entrust a caravan to send a letter to his wife in Bremen every year to inform him of the year's situation.
Although Master Seda still had some properties in Bremen, he could not take them with him when he left, so he left them with his wife.
By renting out these properties, the wife collects rent that is enough for daily life.
But as a husband and father, Master Seda is always worried about whether his wife and children will have enough food and clothing to keep warm. When he sends a letter every year, he will also enclose 50 gold coins with the letter.
This is also the origin of the 50 Sean gold coins that Gaode seized from the wooden box.
“Dear Misu, I know it’s not easy for you to run the house alone these years and raise Sel. Your tenacity and wisdom have always been my greatest pride.”
“Please continue. Manage the property according to our plan and arrange the home properly. ”
"As in previous years, I have arranged for 50 Sian gold coins to arrive with this letter. I hope it will be enough to support my family and make up for my debt a little."
"I have been living in seclusion so far, and the psychic potion The deployment is finally infinitely close to success.”
“If it goes well, maybe I can go home and reunite with you this year, return to your warm embrace, and we will never be separated again;
< br>When I left, Serge was just over a month old and could not call me father. Now he is thirteen years old and has become a little adult. He must have inherited your beauty and my wisdom.
< br>I heard you say in your letter that Serge’s talent for magic is far better than mine, which makes me extremely happy. After I return home, we will send Serge to study at the Magic Academy, and everything will get better.”< br>
"In these days of separation, although we cannot see each other, our hearts are closely connected, just like the two wisterias in front of our window, their roots are always intertwined."
"Eternal love."< br>
"Seda."
