In the witch's magic notebook, there are more than a dozen magic potions recorded, each of which has wonderful effects, such as the "brown owl" that restores mental power, etc., and the three most precious ones can help those who are difficult to fully understand the structure of the spell.
The "Magic Gate" potion that forcibly upgrades magic apprentices, the "Silver Moon" potion that cooperates with magic apprentices' normal promotion to magicians, and the "Crying Soul" potion that allows adults with normal physiques to directly stimulate the power of blood.
The one that currently excites Lucien the most is the "Crying Soul" magic potion.
Not only do the materials needed for "Magic Gate" and "Silver Moon" be very precious and difficult to find in a short period of time, but the prerequisite for use is that the mental power and soul are close to those of a formal magician. Only the "Crying Soul" potion can be used by normal adults.
It can be used after a certain amount of exercise.
It is a product developed by ancient magicians in order to meet the need to quickly cultivate low-level servants under certain circumstances. It stimulates bloodline power at the expense of overdrafting the body's potential, so it has a strong negative effect. Once "Crying Soul" is used to promote
Knights will no longer be able to improve their bloodline strength through training, and their strength will be worse than that of normal knights.
But for Lucien, who has little hope of becoming a knight and has chosen the path of magic, this is not a big problem. It is a way to quickly improve his strength in a short period of time.
The problem is that the materials required for this magic potion are either very expensive or very weird. It is also difficult for a trainee magic apprentice like Lucien to collect them all. Moreover, if his own physique does not meet the standards of a normal adult, then drinking it
After using magic potion, there is not only a high chance of failure, but also life-threatening. Adults with normal physique have a certain chance of failure. The better the physique, the easier it is to succeed.
The "Crying Soul" magic potion is an outstanding achievement of necromancy magic. The simple magic equation is:
Black corpse mushroom + water ghost brain tissue + resentment dust + moonlight rose powder == "Crying Soul"
Here, the black corpse mushroom is a strange mushroom that grows on rotting corpses. Before it matures, it is milky white. After it matures, it all turns black within a day and can last for a month without withering. The smell is slightly hallucinogenic and directly
If you eat it, you will be poisoned by the rotting corpse. The darker the black corpse mushroom is, the better the effect of the "crying soul" will be.
The brain tissue of the water ghost is the brain tissue of the undead creature water ghost. The stronger the water ghost, the better the effect of the "crying soul" finally refined. The same is true for the resentful spirit dust.
According to the records of witches, the moonlight rose is a rare plant that emits a silvery, moonlight-like color at night. It has an auxiliary effect when high-level knights and attendants stimulate the power of their blood. Therefore, it is very expensive and can be used by many formal magicians.
The materials are still expensive, one gram costs one gold thaler, which is one hundred silver nars, and when used, on the premise of success once, it takes at least ten grams to refine the magic potion, and the high-level knight attendants stimulate the bloodline
The entire process of power, according to one's own ability, ranges from burning five grams to fifty grams.
The witch once thought of refining the "Crying Soul" magic potion to quickly increase her strength so that she can later find the "Ice Plantagenet". After all, the strength of the first-order knights is considered strong in the entire Principality of Violet.
He is a true nobleman. From what he has seen and heard these days, Lucien knows that the total number of knights canonized by the principality is only more than 400. Of course, in Alto, there are many powerful people whose power exceeds that of ordinary knights.
It's a pity that the witch can't afford Moonlight Rose for the time being. For the other three materials, she learned that the Beren River has been haunted by water ghosts at night recently, and that the resentful dust can be used with the apprentice-level magic of "Summoning Low-Level Undead Creatures" in conjunction with "Evil Creatures".
"Blood" to be completed, but had to be put on hold.
In this regard, Lucien could only continue his magic studies, focusing on meditation, spellcasting training and magic experiments, and then secretly search for information about these materials.
…………
Close to the "Fire Moon" (July), the sky becomes bright very early, and the clouds as beautiful as orange and ruby slowly change.
Lucien got up earlier, and had already experimented once with using mental vibration frequencies instead of spells to cast spells.
The magic experiment was very successful. It was indeed possible to activate the "Out of Control Circle" magic by controlling mental power to vibrate in advance instead of using incantations. However, the result was not good, because Lucien discovered that in this way, due to the high requirements for control,
It consumes a lot of my mental energy.
"If you use incantations to cast spells, it will take three 'Out of Control Circles' to exhaust your mental power. You can use your mental power to pre-vibrate the spell. One 'Out of Control Circle' will dry up my spirit. Unless there are special circumstances, it is of little use.
." Lucien commented with disappointment.
After a meditation exercise, Lucien recovered his spirit, packed up the messy cabin caused by the "Lost Control Ring" magic, and went out to Aunt Alisa's house.
"Good morning, Brother Lucien, let's have breakfast together!" Alvin opened the wooden door for Lucien. He has been helping Aunt Alisa at the Alto Textile Guild recently and looks much more stable.
Lucien smiled: "Of course, I came here at a good time, how could I miss breakfast."
"Haha, little Evans, you are getting more and more humorous. It seems that this week's study has made you more confident. Do you want to worship together tomorrow morning?" Joel drank wild vegetable soup with soft black bread.
, very satisfied with Lucien’s visible maturity and confidence.
Every Sunday morning, believers of the Cult of Truth will go to the church to worship together. Most of them who have time and conditions will go. Only Lucien, ever since he time traveled, has been worried about being discovered and has always shied away.
Aunt Alisa took a wooden spoon and scooped a bowl of this wild vegetable soup to Lucien: "Little Evans, sit down and eat slowly, and talk while eating."
Lucien had spent a lot of energy meditating and casting spells from last night to today, so he took a sip of soup with satisfaction and chewed the black bread without being polite.
Although Aunt Alisa's black bread is also very rough, unpalatable, and contains impurities such as bran, it is much better than Lucien's low-quality black bread, which tastes like sawdust.
I couldn't help but curse the profiteers secretly.
"Uncle Joel, I'm not free tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't be able to worship with you." How could Lucien go to church? Not to mention the danger, that time alone would be enough for him to learn a lot more.
Aunt Alisa became curious: "Little Evans, what do you want to do tomorrow? Have you found a job that doesn't require you to go to the market area?"
Seeing Joel, Alvin looked over in confusion. Lucien took out the old and simple wallet and handed it to Joel. He smiled in a good mood: "Uncle Joel, I am Mr. Victor now.
I have become a formal student, and Mr. Victor is very kind and exempted me from tuition fees. I will return these eight silver coins to you."
"Ahem, cough, have you become Mr. Victor's official student?!" Joel almost choked on the black bread, coughing non-stop, his face turned red, and he looked at Lucien with shock in his eyes.
sky?!
Aunt Alisa was surprised by another point: "Free tuition?! You can study without paying any money?!"
Ivan still didn't know the meaning of Lucien's words, so he glanced at the money bag secretly: "Wow, it's really Yinnar, the lovely Yinnar with beautiful light! Brother Lucien, how can you do that?
of?"
Lucien honestly told the story of that day. Anyway, there was nothing to hide. He finally concluded: "Well, that's it. Mr. Victor asked me to learn Chinese characters and music with him and waived the tuition fee. Tomorrow morning
I’m going to go to Mr. Victor and borrow some simple books on common language and introductory books on music from him.”
In fact, this afternoon, Lucien is going to Victor's house to catch up on the last hour of study that he did not finish yesterday, but to be honest, there is no reason to skip church, and Lucien is indeed planning to go to Victor's house tomorrow morning. Since
If you choose to use the identity of a musician or a musician to cover up your identity as a magician, you must add basic music knowledge, introductory knowledge, music scores, etc. to the library as soon as possible to make yourself like a poor person who grew up in Alto and was influenced by music.
Children, not alien travelers.
In the "liar" business, Lucien is still very dedicated.
"Mr. Victor is really a good man with a kind heart." Because Lucien tried his best to conceal his role, Alisa praised Mr. Victor loudly, "Little Evans, you have to thank the Lord. After experiencing so much suffering,
You can finally start a new, better life."
Joel stared at Lucien with complicated eyes for a long time, and finally said with relief and emotion: "I didn't expect that little Evans, you really embarked on the path of music. Your intelligence, wit and hard work surpass mine."
With imagination, and with the blessing of the Lord, I met such a kind-hearted musician as Mr. Victor. I hope you will seize the opportunity and remain diligent and hardworking when studying music in the future. If, if you have a concert in the Psalm Hall
On that day, I must invite your Uncle Joel to listen to it. That way, I will have no regrets about music in my life."
Alvin nodded: "It would be great if I could introduce to my companions that my brother Lucien is a famous musician who can hold concerts in the Psalm Hall! Well, it's just as great as my brother becoming a knight.
!”
"Uncle Joel, I will work hard." Lucien nodded seriously, but sighed in his heart: "I'm sorry, Uncle Joel, I'm afraid my investment in music will be very little, because, after last night's
Learning, the vast and magical world of magic, has deeply attracted me. Music is just my job to hide my identity and earn the money needed to learn magic. I can't be as pious and passionate about music as you are.
.”
As an ordinary person who doesn't know much about music, Lucien only knows that the church has not suppressed Alto's music much in the past three hundred years when it relies on divine magic. Most of the music that can be heard in the city
It is not old-fashioned, in fact many of it is very excellent and very beautiful. It is not inferior to some famous classical music that Lucien once listened to when he was on Earth. It also feels very similar and the trend is very consistent.
Joel put away the money bag: "Little Evans, when you choose the instrument you need to learn, feel free to borrow money, haha, don't be shy."
"Okay, Uncle Joel, Aunt Alisa, I'm going to find a job that has nothing to do with the market area. Well, with the status of Mr. Victor's student, it should be a lot easier." Lucien finished his breakfast and stood.
Get up and say goodbye.
After reading the magic notes, Lucien already understood that magic is very expensive!
