Many people in Mela still regard what Lu Yu said when he was teaching in Sligo as a joke, and some secretly speculate that Lu Yu will enter the school mode next. The so-called will continue to publish books, but it is just for himself. It's just a school of thought, but they never thought that Lu Yu would fulfill his promise much faster than expected, causing the wind blown by these people to stop suddenly before it could drift far away.
The huge wave caused by the "Summoning Introductory Manual" has not yet subsided. The "Summoning Introductory Manual 2" circulated from Port Demorris and Broken Gold City was resold by merchants, and private printing flow spread to the entire Mela.
At the beginning of the Summoning Introductory Manual 2, the familiar smell makes those who bought the genuine book for the first time say it smells right, just like the glutton in Manual 1 talks about elemental magic before talking about summoning. The latest volume opens with more than 20 pages. All they talked about was the combination of potions, and the key point repeatedly emphasized was still - Gou!
If someone else made such a suggestion, readers would just sneer and despise "not eating minced meat". After all, not everyone can afford the cost of drug-taking battles. This is something that only magicians with ample resources can prepare with ease.
However, the more than ten potion formulas listed by Gluttony include common effects such as acceleration, elemental affinity, magic recovery, healing, physical recovery, etc. The difficulty of obtaining the materials is relatively simple, and the difficulty of preparation is low. It may be possible to observe carefully while hunting in the wild. Something can be gained.
For the rest, you only need to spend some processing fees and find a pharmacist with basic medicine refining skills. Even if the pharmacist's skills are poor, it is easy to fail the refining and waste the effectiveness. After all, the cost is relatively compared to most asking prices. It is expensive, and the potions that start with gold coins are heartwarming. Many new magicians who are exploring magic for the first time can rely on some small gains to accumulate one or two bottles and carry them with them.
Can such a cheap medicine really be effective?
As if he had read the thoughts of many people who were flipping through the manual, after introducing the pages of potions, Gluttony quoted the words of Lulu, the chief potion master of the Dawn Territory, as his answer.
"Unlike most high-level magicians, the battle between low-level magicians is difficult to determine the outcome, and details can often lead to the defeat of one party. The formulas I provide are indeed not as effective as the common potion formulas in the world, but they are cheap, and they are cheap. enough."
"For a long time, the potion masters in Mela and even the surrounding continents have been improving and improving on the original potion formula. They default that potions are for use by magicians, or people who are about to become magicians. Most herbalists and pharmacists are also I hope that I can be called a 'magician' and no longer study those medicinal materials that can be seen everywhere and can provide good news to people invisible to magicians."
"Magicians have their own potions. Now, ordinary people should have theirs too."
At first glance, the potion master named Lulu sounded very arrogant. In his words, he looked down on the potion master who had been tinkering with fixed formulas. He was the genius who was constantly studying.
Many people sneered, but their desire for knowledge still made them continue to read - there is no need to abandon the masterpiece of a glutton just because there is a self-important idiot next to him.
"Template, template again!"
Many people with a spirit of sharing came directly to the tavern to share with others after buying the genuine version. At this moment, they saw another summoning template being announced by Gluttony, and the situation exploded for a while.
[Mimetic Plant] has not yet been fully understood by many magicians who are also good at summoning. Now there is [Mimetic Monster]. Not only that, Gluttony also revealed between the lines that if there is another volume, a suitable one suitable for advanced summoning will be announced. The template used by the teacher.
Written along with the mimic monsters in the second volume is the "blessing" that varies from person to person. This is a strange power that a summoner will obtain when he skillfully uses a template. Someone will be highly excited when the summoned creature appears. Some people can get the effect of hiding the magic aura by being affinity to an element with a certain attribute. There are many types, which vary from person to person.
Gluttony said frankly that there were too few samples from the Dawn Territory to observe more "blessings", and it was impossible to determine the nodes and specific standards for triggering blessings. This is why he shared his knowledge with everyone. He believed As more and more people join the ranks of exploration, some obscure knowledge will gradually become clear as the number of samples increases.
The people of Mela can no longer remember the last time such a detailed and careful book, which is completely geared towards new magicians, appeared. Maybe it has existed before, but over time, the collapse and chaos caused by the waves of magic have already occurred. Obliterated in the long river of history.
Even in the old era when the towers of schools have collapsed, the knowledge of a large number of schools is still spread only within the circle by people leading people. It is difficult to get started and there is no hope of advancement. In the new era, a large number of ordinary people have awakened, but they can only learn in magic. Wandering outside the teacher's gate, sighing.
This is not an introductory manual, but a manual that can be regarded as an introductory guide for magicians. It is said to introduce how to get started with summoning, but it teaches the knowledge of elemental schools, allowing the closed door to reveal a gap big enough for a prowler to pass through. First For the first time, I knew how to enter a new magic school.
The people of Mela still have mixed feelings about Glutton. Many people think that such a book should not be written by someone like Glutton. At least it should be written by a person with no stain and a noble character, preferably Laurende.
It's always a bit awkward to think of the savage and bloodthirsty side of gluttons and to have them feel grateful.
"No matter what, he gave us the knowledge that those superior magicians don't need at all and only want to keep it in their arms."
"I'm afraid you don't know. The last sorcerer who was so generous was called Sarah, the leader of the Black Corpse Society and an evil necromancer. The no-man's land she left behind in Mera was wider than the frozen soil in Codezonn. , do you think she is a good person?"
"You have an unshaven beard. You deserve to be a silver adventurer at this age. You can only make a living from low-level monsters. You can only distinguish between good and bad people. The sky is only black and white. You should be so naive to survive until now." Be grateful for the good luck God has bestowed upon you.”
"You can't just say it's a personal attack!"
"Just stating the facts. You are indeed a silver-rated adventurer. Moreover, does it not conflict with Sarah being an evil mage and her willingness to kill the school's mage and distribute knowledge? She may have obtained benefits from this that we can't imagine? "
"I agree. Although Sarah sends knowledge, we can't use that knowledge. It's obscure and difficult to understand. It's too awkward for us to run and fight before we even learn to walk. Knowledge that exceeds the limits of our cognition is just one article It’s not worth it… Oh, you can also pad the table or wipe your butt.”
The "nice" argument quickly turned into a debate about who was louder and who was right. The owner of the tavern happily waited for the drunkards to make a move to demand a large sum of compensation from the Sheriff, so he happily asked the bartender to risk the money for those present. The guests were all given wine, hoping they would get drunker.
Some adventurers were curious: "Shouldn't we be discussing the glutton's release of knowledge for free? How come the conversation is getting further and further away?"
"Free? It's not free. You have to pay for the manual!"
"But you, like us, are watching a replica."
"..."
In some places, such a sentence kills the discussion, and in other places it continues enthusiastically in another way.
"But he still took the money, didn't he? Why do you always think that the glutton gives out knowledge out of pure kindness? Maybe he has evil intentions like Sarah?"
"The price of "Summoning Introductory Manual 1" is sixty silver coins, and the price of "Summoning Introductory Manual" is only two hundred silver coins. The mela currency exchange is disordered, don’t you think gluttons should earn this little money?”
In the drunken environment, someone curiously took over the "Pharmacist's Introductory Manual" that was sold as a package. Because it was sold in a bundle, and the public was buying books for gluttons, the replica of the "Pharmacist's Introductory Manual" was It's not very careless, the text is blurry and missing, and most of the illustrations drawn by Lulu herself have not been retained.
The quality of the garbage reproduction caused many people to take a look at it out of curiosity and then throw it aside and ignore it.
"Hey, Yuna, what are you staring at?"
In the noisy environment, an adventurer had just been quarreling so much that he was red-faced and defeated, and slowly retreated to his companions.
"This manual..."
"Oh, I forgot. Yuna, you used to be a pharmacist. Why, you don't think those formulas are useful, do you?"
"With the summoning manual, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
"That's not easy to say. Gluttony can guarantee the quality of his manual, but he doesn't understand potions. How can he ensure that this is called..." The man stared at it with blurred eyes for a while, "Lulu...haha, kid With the same name, are you sure this person is a master who can guide others to become a pharmacist?"
He took a big sip, burped, and said to the onlookers in front of him: "Swear, start swearing."
Yuna looked around and no longer simply discussed Glutton and his contribution to publishing books, but simply divided the people who were pouring out their emotions. She said goodbye to her companions, held the manual and purchased the materials needed for the [Cheap Magic Restoration Potion] according to the formula.
The shop steward looked at Yuna with a strange look. He glanced from her light blond hair to her dusty boots, and finally waved her hand with a look of disdain for the medicine.
"Isn't this the right quantity?" Yuna nodded at the medicinal materials she purchased and asked in confusion.
"What's wrong? We don't sell junk here. Everything you want is here."
Yuna suddenly realized that some of the ingredients in the formula given by the potion master named Lulu were not even worth the effort to collect and sell, because there were too few people buying them, and big merchants rarely replenished them.
After traveling half the town, she collected a lot of weeds and wild flowers from some bulk merchants.
Yuna used to be a pharmacist and was quite famous near her village. She could stop bleeding and treat minor illnesses just by using the properties of herbs.
But that was all. Even if she mastered magic, it was difficult to purchase a formula that had been thoroughly studied by pharmacists and limited the potency in stages. After hitting the wall many times, she chose to give up after mastering magic - no Formulas and refining potions can only rely on trial and error, and trial and error is costly for all new pharmacists.
This is an endless cycle that lies on the road of pharmacists.
"There is no need for professional refining of medicinal utensils, just two small iron pots and an earthen urn..."
"If you are a beginner, you don't need to be too precise in controlling the heat. This is an advanced topic. After the water boils, pour in the first-stage reaction medicinal materials and make sure that all these medicinal materials have been mashed into mud."
Yuna started to try based on the notes next to the formula. Maybe the potion master named Lulu was a friend of the glutton, or someone closer. Their teaching methods were exactly the same, and there were a lot of notes on each step. The repeated instructions made Yuna seem to be able to see a straight face all the time, fearing that she would make a wrong step outside the book, wasting effort and money.
The liquid medicine in the iron pot rolled over the bonfire, and light green foam overflowed. This somewhat strange scene made her swallow her saliva.
"Is it really possible?"
Judging from the raw materials, nearly 70% of these medicinal materials are ordinary plants without magic power. Can the medicinal liquid refined with this formula...can it really be called a magic medicine?
"It is normal for it to roll and flutter out of the pot. The darker the color, the better the reaction effect. If the color is dark black, please pour it out immediately. After confirming the above details, chop the second-stage material and pour it directly into the second pot, and cook Drain the juice and remove the first pot from the fire. When the liquid in the second pot seeps out, mix the liquid immediately and pour it into an idle container."
Yuna was in a hurry, following the steps. She looked at this rough method of refining medicinal materials, and always felt very strange... This was different from the magic potion refining she imagined.
"Pour the three-stage materials into the ready-made solution and stir evenly." Lulu warned, "If there are obvious white particles suspended in the mixing at this stage, it is best not to drink it. It is not that drinking will cause big problems... think of the good. , you can get a magic recovery potion, and it is also a powerful laxative. As for why it becomes a laxative, I can only answer that the magic potion is so magical."
Yuna quickly lowered her head to observe and confirmed that she had not created a big surprise. She breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't wait for it to cool completely, so she poured out a small bowl and took a few sips.
It's a bit unpleasant to drink, but... not enough to make you spit it out.
It must be the bad taste caused by the cheap potion ingredients. After all, they are all worthless stuff.
After waiting for a long time, Yuna did not feel the acceleration of magic recovery at all. Yuna sighed self-deprecatingly, looking at the materials she had spent a small amount of money to purchase, and was about to give up...
Strange magic began to surge, although it was weak, it did flow through the body.
"No way... actually, it's really useful?" (End of Chapter)
