Chapter 114 Strangeness and Departure
"Strength?" Carly murmured softly, but then because she was a little too immersed in thinking, her head accidentally hit a pillar.
Lucian turned his head slightly, not noticing Carly's current embarrassment.
The scene in Blackstone City can only be regarded as average, and can even be said to be a bit shabby, but the interior of Earl Blackstone's family castle is gorgeously decorated and full of noble luxury.
Not to mention, in order to entertain such a "big man" as Lucian, Earl Yassen of Blackstone tried his best.
Fragrant fruit wine floats in the silver wine glass engraved with the family crest. There are many kinds of exquisite food on the dining table. There is a rigorously trained and good-looking maid behind her, ready for orders and greetings at any time. .
Carly held the silver knife and fork, looking a little dazed.
The last time she was tested for wizard talent, she and several other new bloods were also hosted here by Count Yassen of Blackstone. She followed the third-level person who was testing children's qualifications in Blackstone City in a daze. The wizard apprentice left Blackstone City.
But now, I have followed Teacher Lucian back to Black Rock City, and I am still sitting in this banquet hall, and my strength is already stronger than that of the third-level wizard apprentice who came to recruit new blood.
It's just that Earl Blackstone, who had smiled and encouraged him and others to work hard on the path of wizards, didn't recognize his former manor servant.
Thinking of this, Carly couldn't help but look at the pot-bellied middle-aged noble who was talking to Lucian with a flattering expression.
The latter noticed Carly's gaze, turned his head, and nodded towards Carly slightly flatteringly.
But when Yassen noticed Carly's face, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then he became a little stunned and a little unbelievable.
"Ka...Ms. Kali?" Count Yassen looked at Kali in disbelief, but soon the smile on his face became brighter and more attentive.
…
"Teacher Lucian, let's go back to the academy quickly." The next morning, Carly found Lucian.
After passing through the initial nostalgic filter, Carly suddenly felt that everything in Black Rock City had become a little strange.
The previously aloof city lord now became a bit flattering and attentive in front of him. Some of the maids of the same age who he could talk to before were now cautious. Some of the people who had previously reprimanded or thought they had offended him were even more so. Trembling...
Even Grandpa Simon, who gave her preserved fruits at the beginning, now had a strange and cautious tone when chatting with her after learning about her identity as a third-level wizard apprentice. When she was in Blackstone City before, no matter whether it was a good memory or a bad memory, she would never be able to go back.
These changes made Carly feel a little hesitant, more like they were constantly urging her to escape quickly.
Lucian didn't say anything, just rubbed Carly's little head.
"Are you okay?" On the carriage, Lucian looked at Carly, who was rubbing a black stone pendant, and asked softly.
"I have no problem, Teacher Lucian!" Carly raised her little head, but she suddenly removed her witchcraft disguise. Her original human appearance changed rapidly, and her long silver hair fluttered slightly in the wind.
But after saying this, Carly still couldn't hold it back and quietly looked back at Black Rock City, which was already some distance away.
Under the sun, the dark walls of Black Rock City seemed to be dyed with a layer of golden light.
"Goodbye, Blackstone Ridge." Carly muttered silently in her heart. Then she sat upright, took out her notebook, and continued to invest in the research on the formula of improved physical strength potion.
Lucian looked at Carly who was attentive at this time. He didn't know why, but he just felt that Carly seemed to have changed in some way compared to before.
In the blink of an eye, it was three days later.
At night, stay in the temporary campsite.
Carly took out a fermented blood fruit from the clay pot that was slightly soft.
After fermentation, the color of the poisonous areas of the Blood Qi Fruit became much lighter, and the fruit even had a faint aroma of wine.
"After fermentation, the skin of the blood energy fruit changes from hard to soft, so it is not suitable to use the excision method for detoxification. However, the blending method can be used to regulate the toxins that have become less toxic after fermentation..."
Carly quickly cut the softened blood fruit into small pieces. At this time, the pulp, which was originally as hard as stone, became a little soft after a special fermentation catalyzed by witchcraft, and it looked like semi-dehydrated when processed. cheese.
And soon, these fruit pieces that seemed to be able to squeeze out the juice when squeezed hard were thrown into the inside of the bubbling crucible by Carly. While the glass rod was stirring, the mental power also penetrated into the liquid along the glass rod. , and began to make more refined adjustments.
As the color of the potion continued to change, a subtle sweetness also appeared in the heat coming out of the crucible.
Carly sniffed lightly.
She had a hunch that her attempt might be successful. [Your student Carly has successfully improved the physical potion and is integrating the system solution...]
[The recipe for {Stamina Potion·Large} has been updated. Congratulations to your student Carly for getting 5 pharmacy talent points, and congratulations to you for getting 1 pharmacy talent point.]
When Lucian saw this system message, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
But soon, he received the updated stamina potion formula in his mind, and at the same time, he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
This feeling is difficult to describe, but when Lucian understood the formula of the potion, he felt that his understanding ability seemed to be slightly improved than before.
"It seems...Carly has come up with something amazing." Lucian opened his eyes and looked at Carly, who had just moved the crucible away from the alchemy witch formation. The route developed by Carly herself seems to be different from the route after the system upgrade, but it is equally excellent.
On the other side, after Carly put the finished potion into a test tube and carefully preserved it, her body shook slightly. She blinked in confusion, and then looked down at the proud creation she had just prepared.
Various pharmacy knowledge and some magic plant information emerged in Carly's mind unconsciously, and there seemed to be a flash of light in her mind.
The new potion you researched seems to have flaws?
A sudden thought came to Carly's mind.
However, she still suppressed this thought in her mind, and then tested the effect of the new potion.
"The energy concentration is 132% of the original stamina potion, and the configuration cost has increased by 8%. After a comprehensive balance, the overall effect of the potion has been significantly improved."
Carly smiled, and then the smile turned into a burst of uncontrollable cheers.
"Teacher Lucian, I made it!"
"Did it?!" Hearing Carly's cheers, Gagarin couldn't help but opened his eyes in shock, and temporarily turned his attention away from the exercise book in front of him.
Although these days he also noticed that Carly would try very diligently to complete the "homework" assigned to her by Lucian every night when she was camping and resting, but Gagarin really did not expect that Carly could actually succeed.
He looked at Carly who was cheering for joy at this time, and couldn't help but look at the thick exercise book he placed in front of him.
"Knowledge is quantity..." Gagarin murmured a famous saying he heard from Carly, feeling that his whole body was filled with a mysterious power.
Swish, brush, brush...
He quickly calculated the formulas one by one on the scratch paper, feeling that these boring knowledge suddenly became fascinating.
Through training on these topics, even if I can't match Carly's progress, my basic knowledge will be more solid, and my strength should also improve significantly, right? Gagarin injected himself with chicken blood and felt that his energy suddenly came up.
"Very good, really good." Lucian looked at Carly, who had a confident smile on her face, but this time he did not hesitate to praise her.
"I didn't even think about fermentation. My previous idea was to crush the original blood fruit directly, and use the ashes of Ketlan waterweed and Milan flower dew to neutralize the toxins... But judging from the results, it is still Your ideas are simpler and more creative."
Carly was so embarrassed by Lucian's praise that she put her hands behind her back slightly and tilted her head slightly to one side, as if there was something in the distance that attracted her attention. But when she heard Lucian's explanation, her eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Teacher Lucian, I feel that the two of us can combine our ideas to make the potion more effective!" Carly raised her head and looked at Lucian, her eyes bright.
Lucian was frustrated, feeling that what he just wanted to say seemed to be cut off by Carly, which made him blink.
And Carly seemed to realize this, covering her mouth and giggling.
"You..." Lucian pointed at Carly, but in the end he slowly took his hand back helplessly. Then Lucian thought about it and directly told Carly about the improved [Stamina Potion·Large] formula.
Carly was still smiling at first, but after hearing such a very complete and clear formula from Lucian's mouth, the smile on her face slowly faded and turned into a look of admiration.
"Teacher Lucian... I feel that I may be a little clever in the path of medicine, but your talent in this area is definitely much better than mine." Carly looked at Lucian with an extremely serious tone.
After all, Lucian just said that he had not thought of fermenting the blood fruit, but in the blink of an eye, Lucian was able to completely integrate his own ideas into his. For Carly herself, she felt that she wouldn't be able to do this in a short time, and at least she would need to try for a while.
Lucian could only smile, and then offered words of encouragement. "You will be even better at medicine in the future."
Carly didn't respond, but her eyes became extremely determined. "I will definitely work harder, Master Lucian."
Lucian looked at Carly, who seemed to be completely aroused at this time, and always felt that this little guy seemed to have some wonderful misunderstandings about him.
The second chapter is a little later. Today it involves the big plot of returning to the academy. I want to finish writing it today. Therefore, the second update will be sent out together with the additional update.
emm, this is probably the author’s initiative to add updates.jpg
