'A dark wizard is a person who steals power from nature. He must remain humble and cautious at all times...'
He turned around and thought about that sentence again, but still didn't see any clue, so he could only leave it alone for now.
[When the crow sees you drink the potion, it takes off again and flaps its wings to signal you to follow. 】
After passing the first level, the crow began to lead the way again.
Just as Mu You was about to follow, he suddenly remembered something and controlled the character to pick up the remaining bottle of potion on the altar.
This poisonous spring water is also a good thing. It can be used to deal with werewolves when brought back. Even if it is not good, it can poison some wild monsters that he cannot defeat.
[You secretly picked up the bottle of 'Death Spring Water' and hid it in your backpack. The crow glanced back at you but didn't say anything. 】
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the crow acquiesced to his behavior.
[You followed the crow, turning left and right in the forest, and finally came to an ugly-looking 'Crazy Pharmacist' whose body was covered with pimples and thick sores. 】
[The Crazy Pharmacist was originally a kind doctor who lived near the Black Forest, but after studying potions for a period of time with the Calamity Witch, he became paranoid and weird. Ordinary potions could no longer satisfy his pursuit, so he began to experiment with various weird formulas and look for various possible combinations. However, due to the lack of experimental subjects, the effect was difficult to guarantee. He was not allowed to use himself as an experimental subject and taste various potions. In the end, He made himself look like a human being and a ghost...]
[Seeing your arrival, the crazy pharmacist was extremely excited. He looked at you like a guinea pig. He placed three potions, red, blue, and purple, in front of you, letting you choose one bottle to drink. If you are still alive, even if Trial passed! 】
[You glance at the ground around you. There are fewer bones here than at the altar just now, but there are still thousands. Obviously, these people have been eliminated at this level. When you look at these bones, you seem to see your next fate. 】
[Three bottles of potion, you choose to drink...]
Three options, red, blue, purple.
Mu You curled his lips, it was actually another option to gamble on luck.
Looking at the descriptions of the bones around them, it doesn't take much to think that there must be poison in these three bottles.
There's nothing much to say about this. Let's try each of the three bottles of potion first.
[You took the red potion, oh, this familiar taste, isn't it the 'Death Spring Water' you just drank? You actually picked it up again without learning a lesson! 】
[Your legs weaken and fall to the ground again, bleeding from all your orifices. In a daze, you once again hear someone whispering in your ear: If you accidentally lose control, the way to salvation is to face it head-on, rather than turning into another monster. ...]
Sure enough, there was poison, and a new reminder was given.
Mu You hurriedly scanned it, wrote down this reminder, and hurriedly retraced the time.
[You take the blue potion, and nothing changes. It turns out that it is just a bottle of water with blue dye added. 】
"Backtracking."
[You take the purple potion, this is a bottle of super powerful potion! Your power begins to grow crazily, increasing by a thousand points in the blink of an eye! 】
"What?"
Mu You looked at the new prompt in the game in shock, almost thinking that he had read it wrong.
A bottle of potion gave him a thousand points of strength?
He quickly cut out the panel and took a look.
Sure enough, the strength value in the attribute had become 1004 points. Because the value was too high, he simply ignored the value after the decimal point.
This result was too scary. Mu You quickly pressed down his pocket watch and turned back to calm down his shock.
Three bottles of potion, in terms of results alone, there is no doubt that the purple potion is the best.
However, the problem is that it is too good and scary. 1000 points of power makes him feel extremely unreal.
At this moment, an idea flashed in Mu You's mind, and he suddenly remembered the reminder from the first trial: Dark wizards are those who steal power, so do not pursue power that you cannot control...
Isn't that what you're talking about?
The combination of these two factors made Mu You not choose the purple potion in the end.
[You chose the blue potion, and nothing happened after drinking it. 】
[You passed the level, but the crazy pharmacist looked at you with a bad expression: What a pity, you didn’t choose my strength potion! That is my favorite work. After drinking it, you can increase your strength by a thousand points! Although the price is that you will 'lose control' later and become a baboon with well-developed limbs and a simple mind...]
Mu You's eyes twitched when he saw it. There was something wrong with the medicine. After drinking it, he turned into a baboon...
But from this point of view, the hint given in the first trial is true, that is to say, for each trial, there will be tips for passing the next trial.
However, this hint for passing the level is hidden in the poison. After drinking the poison, the person will die immediately. How can he pass the level like this?
Mu You really doesn't know how to complain. What kind of endless loop paradox is this? Fortunately, he has a time watch, so he can ignore these things.
[You passed the second trial. Now, you can ask the crazy pharmacist a question. You choose...]
[Ask about 'out of control'. 】
[Ask about the 'witch'. 】
[Ask about 'reward'. 】
After the trial ended, this level was not skipped immediately, but three more options popped up.
Mu You clicked 'Out of Control' first.
['Out of control' is a term used in black magic. Black magic is a very delicate magic, and any bit of its energy must be used carefully. Once there is a slight deviation, no matter it is too much or too little, it will immediately cause the user to 'lose control'. The specific manifestation is: the user will lose their mind. The flesh and blood all over the body mutates into some kind of monster, such as spiders, monkeys, mice, frogs, various plants, etc. The specific mutation is completely random. In short, a dark wizard who loses control will never be able to regain his human form. 】
"So this is the price of black magic!"
Mu You finally understood the risks involved in learning black magic. Turning into a monster at the slightest disagreement is permanent. This is indeed a bit difficult to deal with, but it is not impossible.
According to this person, as long as the energy is controlled 'finely' enough, 'loss of control' can be avoided.
After reading the text, Mu You went back to the stall and asked the 'witch' again.
[Teacher Vivian is not a good person, but when it comes to her understanding of potions, she considers herself second, and no one dares to admit that she is first. She is the most talented potion master in history! If you get the chance, be sure to learn Potions from her. 】
It seems that this witch is not only powerful, but also an expert in potions!
Mu You was even more satisfied. This was indeed a perfect student.
Go back and click on the third item.
[You asked about the reward for passing the trial. The pharmacist reluctantly took out a crucible from behind. This is the crucible that the Disaster Witch used when she was a child. The witch told him that if anyone passes this trial, the crucible will be given as a reward. 】
[You got the witch's cauldron! 】
[Witch's Crucible: A necessary pot for making magic potions. It can prepare all kinds of medicines in the world and slightly increase the success rate of medicines. 】
