Ethan and Ishandra came to Akara’s tent together, Ethan helped Akara make potions as previously stated.
The work he is responsible for is not difficult. It is mainly cumbersome and requires enough patience to consume a considerable amount of time to deal with herbs.
Wait until he processes these herbs properly before Akara can use these semi-finished products to make finished medicines.
In this process, Ethan was able to combine the knowledge he saw last night with the actual operation, further understand and absorb, and then continue to observe the whole process of Akara making potions, and thoroughly understand the entire method and process of making magic potions.
"In general, this is how magic potions are made."
Akara pointed to the raw materials in front of him, and then pointed to the finished medicine—the red liquid in the small transparent bottle.
"Choose suitable raw materials, first perform simple treatments, such as cleaning, removing useless parts, or using magic to remove the unsuitable energy; then drying or drying with direct spells. In this process, you must use the corresponding spells. Ensure that the required properties of the raw materials are not destroyed. Of course, some herbs can also omit this step, such as the healing grass you collected this time."
"Then is the extraction and refining. Extract the essence of the herbs, mix some auxiliary materials to make the medicine you want." For example, the medicine made by Akara, the auxiliary material is water, and the function is convenient and applicable... Yes, it is made into a potion. The reason is that it is easy to use.
Actually, there is nothing special about the previous steps. The most important part of making a magic potion is the last part. How do you extract the ‘effect’ you want and make it into a potion?
In this regard, Akara’s teaching is not very detailed, and even what he said is a bit mysterious. After listening for a long time, Ethan can only understand it as: This thing is purely based on personal savvy, if you can study and understand, then you really understand, don’t understand it. There is no way to learn.
"This is too..."
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't find a suitable word to describe it. There is no way, a lot of knowledge on the mysterious side is so eloquent, which is why the threshold of this profession is so high, you really can’t make any big achievements if you don’t have enough IQ.
"First, you need to have good physical fitness, and now you need to have a high level of IQ. It's no wonder that in some works, the masters are just plug-ins. Based on the requirements of this innate condition, if the training is a trash, who is still a master."
No way, let's practice!
Fortunately, the making of magic potions has almost no magic requirements. Although there are some spells that need to be used, they can be completed with a magic circle that can use external forces.
The working principle of this magic circle has also become one of the goals of Ethan’s learning. After all, in the absence of sufficient mental power to breed by himself, or draw magic power from other places for his own use, this kind of ability can be derived from the current environment or some implications. The ability to extract magic power from items and display effects can solve many problems in Ethan.
He also considered changing the magic circle so that he could cast a few small spells on his own, and the energy supply problem of the magic circle could also be solved—he thought of the inferior magic stones in the calm sea, and those magic stones contained The energy is enough to cast some small magic.
Thinking of this, Ethan’s enthusiasm rose a bit, and he became more motivated to learn. Not only did he listen carefully, but he kept asking all kinds of strange questions. Akara asked many questions but didn’t know how to answer—Past Life Life In the world of the information explosion, what Ethan lacks most is his brain.
Fortunately, Akara still has a lot of other herbs in his hand, so I gave these herbs to Ethan to practice potion making and magic circle use.
In the next few days, Ethan helped Akara handle the herbs in the morning, and then when Akara made the red potion in the afternoon, he practiced with some poor-quality herbs nearby.
Akara will also take the time to give pointers, tell him what is wrong, which aspects are good, and will also answer some of Ethan's insights about the use of magic circles.
Compared to the previous pure brainstorming, after using the magic circle for a few days, and having a clearer understanding of the principle of using the magic circle, some of the ideas put forward again were recognized and praised by Akara.
"If you can find a stable source of magic power, then the magic arrays you just mentioned are feasible, but the construction of the magic array needs to be redesigned, which requires you to clearly understand what kind of spell you want to use. ."
How does Ethan know this? According to his previous ideas, he wanted to design a magic circle that could cast fireballs. The power didn't even need to be too great, just a fist-sized fireball.
As for the temperature of the flame, the degree of concentration, and the power of the explosion, he didn't have too high demands. Even a simple fire was enough for him at present.
Even if it is such a simple request, it cannot be done casually. This requires you to have a very clear understanding of the fireball spell. At the very least, you must understand its principle, otherwise how to construct a magic circle?
The current situation is that Ethan understands the principles of energy supply and solves the source of energy, but he doesn't know anything about the link of construction and final release.
Akara is a priest, not a mage, after all. She is proficient in healing magic rather than elemental attack magic, so Ethan needs to formally and systematically learn related magic knowledge to complete his envisioned magic circle.
If it was before, he wouldn't know who to look for even if he wanted to learn, but right now there is exactly one suitable candidate: Isandra, an excellent witch from the wizard group, who is good at the three elemental energies of fire, frost, and lightning. Powerful mage applied.
"Do you want to learn magic with me?"
Ishandrola has lived in the camp during this time, and will make a big circle around the camp every day. While investigating the dark power, he helps the camp to clean up some dark creatures around it by the way.
With the help of a powerful wizard like Ishandra, the Rogs in the camp are under a lot less pressure, so Ishandra’s prestige in the camp is also rising day by day.
The advantage of is that it becomes very easy for Ethan to find Ishanjola, and he can know where ‘the mighty lord Ishanjola’ is doing and what he is doing almost at random.
"To put it simply, I want to learn the principles of some spells."
Ethan shared his thoughts and plans to make a few pieces of equipment engraved with specific magic circles.
After listening to the detailed explanation, Ishandra just frowned: "Such magic equipment is not difficult to make, but it is not very valuable."
Ethan wants to make the simplest props, and there is no material requirement. It is just an ordinary equipment that is engraved with a magic circle, and then the spells preset in the magic circle are displayed through the trigger of mental power. Similar equipment is not uncommon in this world, but no one would use such inferior materials to engrave such basic magic at the same time.
This kind of thing can even be called ‘rough and crude! His Excellency Ishandrola, the orthodox master, obviously doesn't like this.
"Thinking about these is not good for your mage path. You should still practice well and improve your mental power. In fact, as long as your spiritual power is improved, you can officially start learning spells. At that time, these You can cast these simple magics with your bare hands."
Ethan shook his head helplessly: "But now I have no power to protect myself. I may die in the hands of dark creatures at any time. If I die, how can I practice spiritual power or even learn magic?"
"Um..." Ishandrola couldn't refute it. This is indeed a very realistic question: "Well, I can tell you some basic magic principles."
These basic magic are not secrets that cannot be taught. Once you start to learn magic officially, a mage will know these things.
Isandra originally wanted to teach a few simple attack magic and defense magic, but soon changed his mind and took out a book from his luggage.
"This is a basic magic principle. I have given it to you. There are records in the spells you need." Ishandrola looked at Ithan, who was full of information, and finally added: "But I still have to remind You, UU reading , forget the simple basic spells. If you want to build more advanced magic on objects, you can't succeed with ordinary materials."
Ethan nodded. He still knows this. Akara mentioned to him before: "In fact, even if it is a few magic circles for beginners, I am planning to make a weakened version."
Even entry-level magic, if it is constructed with maximum power, it is not just to find something and engrave it on it. The conductivity of magic power and whether it can accommodate the impact of greater energy will directly affect whether the magic array can be successfully deployed.
It has excellent conductivity and can withstand a large amount of energy shocks, which are extremely rare magic materials, which are impossible to obtain in Ethan's current state.
Therefore, even if he got a whole book of entry-level magic principles from Isandra, his plan has not changed, and it is still a weakened version of small magic.
Just when he was about to go back and read this basic magic theory carefully and choose the right little magic to make a few pieces of equipment, Ishandrola suddenly stopped Ethan who was about to leave.
"I have been exploring outside during this period of time, and finally I discovered that the darkest energy-rich place in this area is an underground cave called the Evil Cave. After discussing with Akara, I thought it might belong to all the dark creatures nearby. Gathering point."
"So?" Ethan didn't think that Ishandrola came to find him to team up to fight the evil cave, and he didn't have that fighting power.
"I need you to do me a favor." Ishandrola handed over a letter: "Before I came here, I met a priest of the Rasma cult. He was also exploring the cause of the skyrocketing dark power, so I hope you will send him a letter for me, and let him come here to destroy those dark creatures with me."
