"The herbal ingredients in the aphrodisiac decoction have many effects of activating qi and blood. This is probably what he is interested in..."
After several transactions, Carlin was very satisfied with Aaron's confidentiality and credibility, but had no other needs.
Aaron, on the other hand, remained calm as he checked out the amount of medicinal materials that Carlin needed.
After all, how much time and how much medicinal materials are consumed cannot be hidden from him.
"But there is no guarantee that the other party will not have other sources of herbal medicine... In addition, as long as he is not a fool, he will definitely leave a few core materials behind and search for them secretly without giving outsiders the slightest chance."
He casually glanced at the attribute column:
[Name: Aaron (Zorro)]
[Talent: Immortality]
【Age: 30】
[Skills: Reading and Writing (Proficient), Herbalism (Beginner), Swordsmanship (Proficient)]
…
When attention is focused on herbalism, a sub-column suddenly emerges:
Aphrodisiac decoction (master), hemostatic agent (master), energy decoction (beginner)...
Under the row of items, there is another one that glows with gray light.
Effect: Long-term use can gradually enhance physical fitness and agility. Due to the lack of main ingredients, it is currently ineffective. In addition... it may lead to toxin accumulation.
Aaron's face was expressionless, and he came to the wooden table on the side and continued to compare.
After a long period of exploration, he was probably able to determine the amounts of other medicinal materials, and he was sure that this decoction only lacked the last ingredient!
Then, based on Karin’s whereabouts, try them one by one!
'As a retainer, he has very few channels...'
'I have tried the materials that are easier to find in the places he often goes to...'
On one side, there are a large number of dark and smelly potions, which are the result of Aaron's failure.
Until today, he had a flash of inspiration: "Maybe... I am the only material supplier in Carlin."
"Then... the last material is probably something he can easily obtain, such as..."
Aaron opened a bag next to it and added the cow's blood inside.
Gululu!
The stove continued to steam, and finally boiled out a ball of unpleasant-smelling liquid.
Aaron twisted it a little, feeling the effect of this decoction on the skin after the temperature faded: "It's not quite right..."
He grabbed a rabbit next to him and poured the decoction directly into it.
It didn't take long for the rabbit in the cage to become manic, biting the bars crazily.
Finally...it died!
"Failed again..."
"However, this failure gave me a lot of inspiration... Failure also has the value of failure. Compared with the previous times, it is undoubtedly closer to success."
Aaron packed his things and fell asleep.
The next day.
A village near Yanan Town.
Aaron has arrived here with a wooden stick in his hand.
"Master, who are you?"
A farmer saw Aaron's relatively clean clothes and immediately took off his hat to show respect.
After all, this person looks like a city dweller.
Many village girls even secretly winked at Aaron.
Their biggest wish is to marry in the city and no longer have to farm and live in the farmland.
"I'm the tombkeeper of Yanan Town, and I'm here to buy some chickens."
Aaron randomly found an excuse and entered the village.
After passing by a cowshed, he showed a thoughtful expression on his face: "The cowherd here is Old Jotun, right?"
"Yes, he has a good son who is now working as a servant in the castle and comes back to see him every month."
The farmer who led the way started talking about the introduction, and finally added: "My chickens are the best..."
Aaron smiled and did not stop.
Not long after, he left the village, carrying a few native chickens in his hand.
He probably guessed something, but the details still need to be verified.
As for buying materials in the village?
That would definitely make Carlin wary, so Aaron wouldn't do it at all.
After returning to the cemetery, Aaron continued to fish every day as if nothing had happened...
Half a month later.
Finally, he found an opportunity and got what he wanted.
…
night.
Outside the cemetery, the cold wind howled.
No one wants to come to the cemetery at night, except tomb robbers!
Therefore, Aaron lived a very leisurely life.
It's also a good time to use night as the time to experiment with potions.
On the wooden table, herbs are divided strictly according to their portions. A flame is burning under the stove next to it, and the water inside is already boiling.
"Long leaf root, 150 grams..."
Longleaf roots are the roots of a vine and are very common.
The venom grass is completely black and highly poisonous, so Aaron was very careful when handling it.
The last datura petals are very beautiful. They only grow beside the cemetery and often represent ominous meanings in folklore.
Except for the gravekeepers, no one dared to touch them.
After putting various materials into the furnace in a certain proportion, a layer of indigo suddenly bloomed.
At the same time, a strange herbal aroma gradually spread.
And when this period of time passes, the decoction will be useless again.
Aaron stared at the fire and uncorked another bottle.
What's in the bottle is cow spinal fluid!
One drop, two drops...
After adding six drops of the cow's spinal fluid, Aaron stopped.
Based on his experience, no matter how much, it may cause the medicinal properties to be out of balance!
After the flames in the stove gradually extinguished, a decoction appeared in front of Aaron.
Just taking a brief breath of that smell, Aaron couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
This is his body, craving for this potion!
"However, we still need to test it."
He caught another new rabbit next to him and started the experiment...
The next day, early morning.
Aaron looked at the attribute column, with a slight smile on his lips.
[Witcher's decoction (unnamed): Long-term use can increase physical fitness and agility to the limit of the human body. 】
“Name it—Manniu Potion!”
The next moment, the name of the demon hunter's decoction was changed to the brand new 'Man Cow Potion'.
Aaron looked at the potion and pondered: "Is there any limit to the human body?"
A strong person who has reached the limits of his human body is still a mortal!
If you want to gain extraordinary power, you can only break this restriction!
"It seems... this is just the most basic potion in the assassin school. The real core of inducing mutation, the potion that breaks through the extraordinary. It will never be faked by anyone, but must be searched for bit by bit by oneself..."
Aaron touched his chin, but he didn't care.
What he was interested in was not this awesome potion that could make progress slowly.
But in the process of exploring the formula, the formula revealed the philosophy of this school of medicine!
This is the most important thing!
In other words, Aaron has already laid the foundation. If he obtains another incomplete potion formula of this school, his progress will be accelerated a lot!
Moreover, he also understood the core concept of that extraordinary assassin, who was probably a demon hunter, and the school of thought.
"By plundering the genes of foreign objects, integrating them with the human body to form unique abilities, or inducing mutations?"
"It seems that a core decoction requires at least one extraordinary material."
Aaron touched his chin: "I'm here...do you want me to fry that ghoul? No..."
He got along quite happily with him.
After all, you can't ask for more from a worker who helps you guard the night and fend off tomb robbers for free.
…
The effect of Manniu potion is pretty good.
Aaron was delighted to feel that his strength had grown again.
The most important thing is that based on his actual combat experience, once the body reaches the limit of a mortal, even if it kills several extraordinary creatures, it may not be impossible.
This day.
Aaron came to Evie's house.
Little Thor can already waddle on the ground.
He teased the other person's fleshy little hand and looked at Ivey: "What's wrong? You look worried?"
"Something big is going to happen in the territory."
Ivey replied with a sad face: "Did you know? Miss Catherine's birthday is coming soon... A banquet is going to be held for her in the castle, and after her birthday, Miss Catherine will be fourteen years old!"
Well, in this ignorant Middle Ages, it was generally believed that a girl was considered an adult at the age of fourteen and could already be an excellent mother.
In fact, in rural areas, girls generally get married earlier than this age.
"Is there going to be a showdown?"
Aaron's expression was solemn, but he was thinking about when Carlin would explode?
"Yes, either Lilith and his wife return their power or knock down Catherine, otherwise they will have no other way to go..."
Ivey's face was full of sadness: "Miss Catherine is the heir designated by the old baron after all. I once followed others and witnessed this scene...but..."
He glanced at Thor and immediately stopped talking.
After all, this man still cares about his family.
Aaron comforted him: "It really has nothing to do with us. We just need to wait patiently for the outcome of the matter and then accept it..."
"I'm just...a little emotional." Ivey smiled reluctantly.
And Aaron knew what kind of storm Catherine's coming of age would bring to the originally peaceful Lancaster territory!
…
Tavern.
"Boss Winnie... bring me a beer!"
Aaron pushed open the wooden door of the tavern and saw a woman with a barrel waist carrying a wooden barrel to fill the wine. He couldn't help but smile.
At the same time, I also felt a little emotional inside.
Winnie, the former tavern waitress, changed her body shape very quickly after she got married and had children.
Moreover, completing the gorgeous transformation from bartender to tavern owner can be considered a small counterattack.
As far as he knows, the women in the tavern now aim to become the second Winnie...
Well, in order to maintain his character, of course Aaron had to come to the pub for a drink after visiting Evie.
In addition to having drinks and meat here, as well as decent-looking waitresses, the place is well-informed and is one of the best in the barony.
At this time, there were already several guests in the tavern, chatting in low voices while drinking, and terms such as Catherine came into their ears from time to time.
It was obvious that the entire territory knew what was going to happen.
The more this happens, the less Lilith and his wife dare to take action easily.
‘What if it was Catherine’s side who deliberately released this news? Then there are really experts...’
Aaron took a sip of beer and thought casually.
"Hey! Did you guys hear that?"
At this moment, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and a man who looked like a businessman walked in, shouting: "Wolf told me... he saw a monster in the orchard!"
This kind of thing is something that everyone can say casually, so the businessman speaks loudly.
Everyone's attention was quickly attracted to him: "There's a monster in Wolf's orchard?!"
The citizens are a little scared, those legendary monsters can eat people!
And they have actually never had close contact with monsters in their entire lives.
The only one who was involved was the water ghost that Roland once led, but not many people saw it, and he was killed by a passing demon hunter.
"Yes, Winnie, bring me a glass of mead and a plate of roast meat."
The businessman sat down and sighed: "I also heard what Wolf said... When he went to inspect the orchard last night, he saw a monster with antlers!"
"Wolf's eyesight has always been bad, so he might just be a deer that stole it!"
A drunkard laughed loudly: "I don't think we should find a witcher. We can solve this problem by finding a hunter, and we can also get a piece of venison!"
Aaron also laughed kindly like the others.
"How can it be the same?"
The businessman was enraged: "Have you ever seen a deer standing upright? Wolf swears on his mother's honor that he really encountered a monster with antlers!"
Aaron's heart moved.
He also knew Wolf, and knew that although he was rude, he loved his mother very much.
If you swear in the name of the other party, it is very likely to be true!
'So...after waiting for so many years, has something finally happened to the barony?'
He said to himself: 'Well... my expectations don't seem to be very good...'
However, Aaron's heart was already lifted.
He somewhat expected this legend to be true.
Whether there is a passing demon hunter taking action, or whether Carlin can't help but take action after hearing this, this is a good opportunity!
After all, according to the prescription, if Karin wants to truly become a demon hunter, he still lacks the materials for an extraordinary level.
Judging from the fact that the other party is still buying medicinal materials from him, Karin has not taken this step yet!
If you are already extraordinary, Manniu potion will have no effect.
"The next step...is what I'm best at: waiting..."
…
Lancaster Castle.
Thick rocks formed the outer walls of the castle, the interior windows were small, and long candles were lit in the corridors.
Karin was dressed as a knight's squire, with a long sword on his waist, guarding outside Miss Catherine's room, with a solemn expression!
Because he once caught the assassin who targeted Miss Catherine.
But the other party easily committed suicide in prison!
This allowed Carlin to quickly identify the real culprit behind the scenes, but he was helpless.
The defensive power of that couple is also extremely powerful. Unless...he becomes a person like his teacher, there is hope of solving the problem!
