Chapter 41 The Wizard
Before dawn, Alvin, who hadn't fallen asleep last night, got up early, wiped his face casually, said hello to Gary, who didn't know when he would have returned last night, and rushed out.
Now he no longer cared about that book, it might be the stolen goods that had been registered by the supply ship.
Dingling ring
"Good morning, Mr. Kridoff!"
Walking into Gabrad's top three private pharmacy stores, hello to the store manager who was already busy behind the counter.
"Good morning Mr. Alvin! Ah, you are already a captain, what an honor for the shop. It's great to start a good day with such good news!"
The store manager with elegant appearance and curly hair noticed the changes in Alvin's echo at first sight, and immediately smiled and congratulated him, even with a slightly aria-like exaggeration.
The rise in customer status means that purchasing power will inevitably increase accordingly. Kridorf's congratulations are very sincere.
"Mr. Alvin, you are here just in time. The last herb you asked me to help buy has arrived. I'll give it to you later."
Suddenly I thought of something.
Kridorf looked for a while, took out a box from behind the counter, handed it to Alvin, and introduced:
"Please see, the iron reef moss that has grown for at least 30 years has turned purple-black at the roots! This thing is really hard to find. If I hadn't had few channels for purchase, no one would have known that there were such non-partner medicinal materials."
When I opened the wooden box and saw what was inside, a look of surprise flashed in Alvin's eyes. I originally wanted to collect the raw materials for the "development agent", but I didn't expect that I even got the last auxiliary medicine prepared for the preparation of the "Black Sea Potion".
Moreover, the iron reef moss in the wooden box is of excellent quality, which is much more basic than the Black Sea Potion. Alvin is very satisfied.
"Yes, it's exactly what I want. Manager Kredov is really reassuring to do things."
After putting away the wooden box, Alvin handed him another list of ingredients: "I have to ask the store manager for these things."
"These are all common medicines, and they are available in the store now." Kredov smiled and took the list, glanced at it, and soon handed it to him.
After a while, Alvin paid the final payment with the store manager and walked out of the pharmacy store with a cloth bag.
"It turns out that he is poor, civil and military. The ancients did not deceive me!"
Alvin was confused about the bag in his hand. The less valuable "development agent" raw materials plus all the auxiliary drugs of "Black Sea Potion", which actually cost Alvin a hundred golden lions, which is almost equivalent to the income of an ordinary sailor in ten years!
Although Alvin has saved up quite a few gold coins now, he still feels a lot of pain.
Because this just doesn't involve extraordinary ordinary materials. Thinking about the value of extraordinary main materials, Alvin couldn't help but pity his own money bag that was destined to shrink greatly afterwards.
He was about to wait for Geer to come back, and then ask him the source channel of the main materials of "Black Sea Potion" and then start purchasing.
No matter how much wealth he has, he serves his extraordinary path. He has not forgotten his main purpose of joining the navy. He will not be stingy when it is time to use money.
Back in his yard, Gary was still exercising by the beach, and Alvin did not join in. He now has more important work to do.
After packing up the moss of the iron reef, he couldn't wait to go to the independent small attic on the top floor, find out the complete set of dispensing tools he had already purchased, and start preparing "developing agents".
Thanks to the fact that the extraordinary materials and Ivan's solid pharmacological foundation did not involve, the preparation process was very smooth.
Half an hour later.
Staring at the notebook that changed rapidly after being immersed in the basin of developing agent, Alvin held his breath nervously.
In the rustling sound of a little bug, the change began.
First, the colorful dyes stained are peeled off first and dissolved into water. Then the original handwriting on the page gradually disappears, and new illustrations and texts slowly emerge.
As expected, the newly appeared words are all "Cathy" with extraordinary power!
After two minutes, the final change was completed, and all the handwriting on the entire book was replaced by the "Cathy language" written in dark green ink. Moreover, the handwriting is compact now, and the content is at least twice as much as before.
Take it out and dry it. The special paper is not damaged by the soaking water at all. Instead, it seems to have been renovated by a skilled craftsman and turned into a brand new book.
"call"
Take a deep breath.
He subconsciously didn't want others to discover his secrets. I guess Gary wouldn't come back for a while. After Aven closed the door, he gently opened the pages.
The brand new text instantly immersed Evan and could no longer care about anything else.

It took most of the day to see it. Even though Gary knocked on the door several times in the middle, he was evaded. It was not until the setting sun that Alvin breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed the book.
With his hands lifted his chin and stared at the sunset outside the window and the sparkling waves on the sea in the distance, Alvin was fascinated for a long time.
"It turns out that there is a big secret hidden, but I don't know whether it's good or bad for me."
This is the diary of a pharmacist named Leon about a hundred years ago. It contains both his daily life and his research results. But what makes Alvin lose his mind the most is Leon's identity as a real wizard!
It is not an indigenous witch doctor who is evil and weird like Gagong on the "One-Eyed Becky" ship. It is a rational, no, wise medical scientist, pharmacist, and tireless explorer of truth.
To be honest, thanks to memories of previous lives, Alvin has no prejudice against the wizard himself.
But it was the first time that an orthodox wizard, or his traces of existence, had been in such close contact.
After all, the extraordinary path that is mainstream in the civilized countries on the mainland is the knight path. Whether it is the father Ferman who lived with him day and night when he was a child, Grandpa Leo, or later Viscount Andrea, the instructor Eugene and Uncle Geer after joining the army, they are all extraordinary knights who have reached the official rank of the knight path.
Even Alvin himself has practiced since childhood and is now standing before the threshold of a formal knight.
But for the mysterious wizard, Alvin can only understand a little bit from the legendary story, and combine it with the settings in various fantasy works in his previous life to form a very vague image in his mind.
Unfortunately, this image is not that beautiful.
The horror stories that made children stop crying when they were young, the "Witch Hunting Order" of the Holy See, the risk of the uncontrolled road of the African Knights mentioned by Grandpa Leo and Uncle Geer, and the indigenous witch doctors who have seen with their own eyes.
All of this put a negative label on the image of a wizard in Alvin's mind.
Therefore, before today, even though I was very curious about the magical profession of wizards because of my previous life, Alvin never dared to over-exploration.
It is not a good thing to be too curious about the extraordinary world, especially when you have no guide, you will rashly explore the profound secrets, which is so high that Alvin is unbearable!
But now the diary of the pharmacist Leon has unveiled a mysterious veil for Alvin. Although it is difficult to get the whole picture, it also allows Alvin to understand what an orthodox wizard should look like.
"Learn the secrets of the human body like a surgeon, study the uses of each herb like a botanist, summarize it with the statistician's mind, and see the essence through phenomena!"
Alvin gently clenched his fist, as if he had grasped the whole world.
Isn’t this a scientist from another world?
It’s just that the research tools have changed from various modern instruments to convenient and magical witchcraft. Perhaps some of their ideas have made this seemingly backward era a bit resistant, but it is very identifiable to Alvin, who has experience in his previous life.
The reason why humans are different from animals is that they have wisdom and can constantly learn, inherit, apply knowledge from the natural world, and use knowledge to leverage power, rather than fighting with beasts with their claws.
