Chapter 32 The Origin of Magic

In the Azure Continent, no magical item could escape the words ‘origin of magic’, especially the magical materials used to refine magic potions. Apothecaries refined magic potions, and mages refined magical items. These things required magic elements. Some magic materials had magic elements in them to begin with, so the mages just needed to refine them. However, there were still some materials that did not have enough magic elements, or needed to fuse with other magic elements.

Many high-level magic potions or magic items required the fusion of multiple magic elements. This allowed them to exert maximum power. Low-level mages didn’t have enough element affinity, and some high-level mages had difficulty operating several magic elements, which led to low success rates for high-level magic potions and magic items.

If a rich mage failed in his refinement, he could always start over. However, most alchemists were not rich because magical materials were expensive. Moreover, when they encountered some peerless treasures, mages did not dare to try them. However, the box left behind by the Thor race could easily allow the magic materials to fuse with other magic elements. When Edith had finished explaining things to Celia, she said, “These days, the formulas for the various magic elemental prescriptions left behind by the Thor people are giving the mages majoring in therapies a headache.”

Not even the family of apothecaries that emerged, the Karensi Clan, could do anything about them. Edith, who was nurtured by the Karensi family, naturally knew how important this humble box was.

“The potion formulas are a top-notch treasure, but I don’t know how to use them. Now that I have this, those potion formulas will come in handy.”

The sour expression on Edith’s face changed, and the corners of her mouth turned up involuntarily. She’d forgotten that she’d doubted the young, great mage’s strength in the beginning. Her large, shining eyes sparkled. Mo Fan was being watched by these eyes. He was like being stared at by a beast.

Seeing this, he coughed calmly and said, “So there’s such a use!”

It turned out that in the game, he relied on magic to fight the Boss and carry out missions. He didn’t have much to do with potions, so he didn’t know much. The thought of being able to replicate the ancient potion formula excited Edith. She would definitely be the first healing mage in the Azure Continent. She was sure that in the near future, she would be crowned with the title, ‘Legendary Apothecary’.

Princess Celia said excitedly, “Then Teacher will definitely be able to recover! With the magical materials and this box, you will definitely be able to concoct the magic potion.”

Irigore had been invisible a moment ago. Now he finally remembered what he hadn’t finished. He quickly listened to the princess, Celia, and braced himself. “Your Highness, there are only four materials here.

There’s one more important magical material we haven’t got!”

When Irigore finished, he glanced at the princess with a little shiver. He blamed himself for being so excited that he didn’t say the complete information but just picked the important parts. When the princess, Celia, heard his words, it was as if she had fallen from heaven to hell in an instant. In just a few breaths, her mood had gone several rounds from heaven to hell.

Celia’s spirits plummeted at those words, but she looked at Mo Fan hopefully. He met her hopeful gaze and could only shake his head.

“There are only four of the five ingredients for conjuring the Magic Potion. There’s still one Dragon’s Breath left. This—I don’t know if the Magical Beast Forest here has it.”

Mo Fan looked at Edith as he spoke. “Since you have the name of the potion formula, it shouldn’t be difficult getting the ingredients.”

Edith nodded quickly at that. “Yes, yes. There is a magical beast in the Magical Beast Forest called a Scandimoss dragon. But this demon dragon is very highly ranked.

They live deep in the forest of magical beasts. It’s a complicated place. Not many mages can go deep into the forest. When there’s a magical beast tide, the Scandimoss dragons fly out of their pack and come to the edge of the forest.

This scale on the tail of this demon dragon contains huge fire elemental magic. One year, such a scale was circulated in the Guild of Magic after the magical beast tide.”

Celia had heard of the scale. She frowned. “Teacher told me that Weiss, the Great Archmage of the Temple of Light, crafted a magic shield that could withstand an attack from a fire mage below the seventh-level.

And now this shield is still placed in the Temple of Light.”

“But,” Celia said miserably, “Teacher can’t wait for the next beast tide!”

The timing of each magical beast tide was not very accurate. Even if there were signs before each magical beast tide, Skadi would still lose many citizens because of the magical beast tide riots. Therefore, even if the magical beast tide erupted now, it was unlikely that they would definitely be able to obtain the scale of the magic dragon. That was a Scandimoss dragon!

The fact that the Temple of Light had returned with that piece of dragon’s scale had caused an uproar across the entire Azure Continent. It wasn’t just because of the preciousness of the scale. It was also because the four Great Archmages the Temple had sent and a dozen or so Holy Warriors had stayed in the Forest of Magical Beasts.

The fact that four Great Archmages and a dozen holy warriors almost died in the Magical Beast Forest showed how dangerous the Scandimoss dragons were. Their Skadi magicians did not have the same level of power as the dragons. If they rashly went to the Magical Beast Forest, they would only be taking the path of no return.

Celia’s beautiful eyes narrowed at the thought, and she looked as if she was about to cry. She had the formula for the magic-generating potion and four magical materials. She just needed one more material. She was really just one step away, but this step was like a chasm. One still had to take the step.

It was only then that Irigore understood. With Skadi’s current strength, getting the Dragon’s Breath would be even more difficult. His happy face slowly turned to dismay. “I didn’t expect to make the princess happy for nothing,” he said dejectedly. With some difficulty, Irigore said, “I thought there was only one magical material left. I thought it wouldn’t be difficult. Something that could restore the Royal Preceptor’s magic -“

His voice died away, and the atmosphere in the room became somber. Celia stared at Klent who lay unconscious on the bed. Her eyes were filled with concern.
