After a moment, Elise suddenly stood up and said, "Here we come." Then she opened an inscribed box on the bookshelf behind her and took out a small, shiny bottle with a narrow mouth.
After handing the bottle to Sha Duo, Elise did not let go, but reminded her, "Negative energy erosion is very stubborn. Use all of this bottle of purification potion and don't think about saving it for next time!"
"yes."
Xia Duo responded, then felt the lightness of the bottle in his hand. He put the bottle away, expressed his gratitude again, and then left.
…
After leaving Elise's study, Shado avoided the pity and probing eyes of other mission team members and went straight back to "McCard"'s room in the base.
"call--"
Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed, thinking that he finally got through it. Of course, he knew very well that Elise might not believe him.
But no matter what, this first step was finally passed smoothly.
The next moment, Xia Duo "sit" up from the bed, took out the bottle of purifying potion that Elise gave him and looked at it carefully. The bottle was just an ordinary glass bottle, but the potion inside was extraordinary in appearance.
At first glance, it looks like a glowing translucent liquid. When shaken a little, it has a colloid-like viscosity. However, under the magical vision, a large part of the light of this purification potion comes from the tiny runes looming in the liquid.
Of course, it is somewhat inappropriate to say runes. In fact, it is the energy release phenomenon displayed by certain combinations of the strings of the magic network mapped into the potion matrix.
Chateau also tried making magic potions at the Tower of Time, but he found that preserving magic through a liquid matrix was more unstable than scrolls. Apart from lowering the threshold for use, there were no more benefits.
Therefore, he simply gave up researching the production of magic potions.
Now that he saw this bottle of purification potion, Xia Duo was really touched. As for the magic contained in this bottle, he couldn't see it yet and couldn't study it.
The potion is too unstable, and a little more careful observation may cause it to deteriorate. In addition, this bottle of purifying potion has a lot of positive energy incorporated into it, which is also a major reason for its glow.
Ignoring the magic contained in it, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bottle of highly concentrated holy water.
As for how to use the purification potion, Shado has already obtained it from Elise. It is very simple, just drink it.
Of course, ordinary potions cannot be drunk directly. The liquid matrix used to preserve magic often contains toxic substances. Just shaking it vigorously can activate the magic. If you drink it, you may die directly.
The base of this bottle of purifying potion does not contain toxic ingredients and can be drank directly. This is also to make full use of its holy water properties.
Xia Duo uncorked the bottle, brought the mouth of the bottle to the tip of his nose, and sniffed lightly. Perhaps the manufacturer wanted to make it easier for the user to drink it directly. This purification potion did not have the pungent smell of ordinary magic potions, but instead gave off a smell of plants.
It's so refreshing that people can't help but want to take a sip.
And that's exactly what he did!
The bottle was not big, about two hundred milliliters. Xia Duo picked up the bottle and poured it into his mouth. Before he could even feel the taste of the gelatinous purifying potion, the side of his body that had been eroded by negative energy suddenly erupted with a burst of energy.
Severe stinging pain.
"ah--"
Xia Duo gritted his teeth, trying not to let out a cry, but the painful moans still squeezed out from between his teeth. The next moment, there was a pop, and the empty bottle in his hand had been crushed by him.
The blood instantly stained his palms red, but Xia Duo could no longer care about the minor injury. He grabbed the sheets on the bed, bit them in his mouth, and let out a muffled groan.
The half of the body that originally had no feeling now has feelings, but the feeling is not wonderful. Instead, it feels like being in purgatory, being bitten by countless evil ghosts.
…
I don't know how much time passed, but Xia Duo suddenly felt no pain. The contrast in this moment almost made him ascend to heaven. He was breathing heavily, and his sweat had penetrated through his clothes and soaked a large area of the sheets underneath him.
.
"Haha, I really suffered!"
Although the feeling in various parts of the body has returned, Xia Duo does not want to move at all now, and continues to lie like this for an unknown amount of time until his stomach begins to protest.
He struggled to sit up from the bed, but the next moment, he hissed and took a breath of cold air.
When I raised my hand, I saw that the hand that crushed the bottle had completely healed, but the problem was that there were still some glass shards healed in the skin.
Whenever I move, it hurts terribly.
Fortunately, after just going through the pain of purifying negative energy erosion, Xia Duo was now a little numb to this small pain. He calmly took out an adamantine knife and opened the healed epidermis.
In the bloody mess, he fumbled to pick out the glass residue one by one, and then directed positive energy to gather at the wound, and did not stop until the wound stopped bleeding.
Although his own healing ability is not enough to cure "terminal diseases" such as negative energy erosion, if it is just a few minor wounds, it will not be a problem for him.
…
In this way, Xia Duo had been recuperating in the branch base for three days before he basically recovered. During these three days, in addition to exchanging some information with another task team, he stayed in the room and became familiar with "McCard".
Method of casting spells.
The high-level mages from the [Revenge Trial Division] don't have many spells, but they all have their own characteristics, and almost all of them are related to tasks.
It's either running away, communicating, or killing efficiently, nothing else.
Most of what the Headquarters Base Academy teaches is the principles of spells. As for specific spells, they teach very little, but you can exchange mission points for any spell you want.
Of course, the Revenge Trial Division does not restrict communication between members, but few people will share it for free, requiring fewer points than redeemed from the Revenge Trial Division, or a commitment to assist in missions.
"McCard" is considered a newcomer, he has only done a few missions, and he is the only one left in the task team. "McCard" does not have many spells, and it is relatively easy for Xia Duo to imitate.
Even the word imitation is not accurate.
In the process of development, the arcane empire of the projection plane was greatly influenced by several mysterious great sages who were suspected to be visitors from the main plane. Their mainstream spellcasting methods and styles were almost the same as those of Netheril.
What Shado needs to be familiar with is only the spells mastered by a few "McCard", so as not to reveal his secret later when he goes on missions with others.
With all the memories of "McCard", three days is enough for a senior arcanist with fairly good spell-casting skills to become familiar with this level.
In fact, if necessary, he could even imitate some of McCard's habitual mistakes in casting spells.
Of course, you don’t have to imitate these things. After all, people will make progress and mistakes can be eliminated.
