Chapter 12 Potion of Wisdom
Ace took the diary back and read it with relish. Gradually, his expression became serious. The book reads:
The rain on October 20th in the 20th year of the city calendar
We defeated the barbarians again, but this time we suffered heavy losses. The noble army lost a total of five people, all of whom were strong fighters who had inspired their blood. The civilian heavy armor army even lost dozens of people. It was a very traumatic experience.
All this is because of the hateful shaman of the barbarians. He can make a few barbarian warriors suddenly become as powerful as a bull and as fast as a leopard. He can even trigger a trap from a distance. People who understand the barbarian language say this is called shaman witchcraft. , They must have sold their souls and gained the power of demons.
I groped the body of this evil shaman, and found a scroll of parchment, which seemed to record something.
Ace flipped through the pages, and after about three months in the diary, the parchment was mentioned again.
January 28, the 21st year of the Jiancheng calendar, snow
The weather is so cold this time, blessed by the God of Frost, a few barbarians were forced to go out to find food because of the heavy snow, and they happened to be caught by us. I need a slave to learn the language and writing of the barbarians, and understand the parchment. the meaning of.
It was sunny on March 8th in the 22nd year of the Jiancheng calendar.
After a year of work, I finally figured out what the parchment meant. There are too few people in the barbarian tribe who know how to write, which wasted a lot of my time.
It actually says the formula of wisdom potion. After consuming it, if you survive the test of nature, you may become a shaman.
The main ingredients are the tubers of the canopy of the willow tree and the crystals in the skull of the panicked crow. The ratio is three to one, and the rest are some soothing herbs. The taste is slightly sweet until a crystal green paste remains in the crock.
What are these? Why I can't help but want to give it a try, the devil must be tempting me!
It was cloudy on October 1, the twenty-second year of the Jiancheng calendar.
Damn it, I actually got all the ingredients together to cook a crock pot of green paste and drink it.
Why do I feel dizzy and hot all over. Maybe I've fallen for the tricks of the barbarians, it's a poison!
If anyone sees my diary, give it to my mom and tell her I love her.
On October 8th, the twenty-second year of the Jiancheng calendar, it was sunny.
After seven days and seven nights, the high fever finally subsided, and the captain said that he was planning to roll me back to the city with a mat.
These heartless people don't want to think about who is doing their best to treat them when they are sick. It seems that next time we need to bleed the captain more.
Fortunately, I came back to life and have not found any abnormalities for the time being. It feels so good to be healthy. Maybe this potion is only effective if taken by barbarians? Anyway, it's good to be alive!
It rained on October 20th in the 22nd year of the Jiancheng calendar.
My eyes seem to see things much more clearly, my memory has also become stronger, and my reaction has also become faster. Could it be the effect of the wisdom potion? Is this the power of the barbarian shaman?
The torrential rain on February 2nd in the 23rd year of the Jiancheng calendar
I seem to have acquired the same ability as that shaman. I can lift stones and twist firewood with my imagination. Maybe I should look for more secret lore about barbarian shamans, like how to make them as big as a bull.
I'm not the same as a shaman, I have to think of a new name. The barbarians call shamans witchcraft, so I'll call myself a wizard.
The diary ends here, followed by a piece of black blood, soaking through the booklet, making it unrecognizable.
Ace held the diary, stood up gently, walked aside, and secretly hid the diary on his body. Although he was calm on the outside, his trembling hands and lips had already betrayed him.
He was extremely excited. If the things recorded in the diary were true, then there was a way for ordinary people to obtain extraordinary power, especially the ability similar to the power of thought recorded in the diary, which was extremely attractive to Ace. He wished to get a small jar immediately. Try the potion of wisdom.
He took a few deep breaths and tried to continue to classify his pile of books, but felt dull. Although there are still many doubts, and the authenticity of the diary is also open to question, his excitement is still difficult to calm down immediately.
Even if the diary is true, there are still many problems that bother him, such as what supplementary medicine to accompany, how much dosage, there is no record in the diary, and the medicine seems to be harmful to a certain extent, how to avoid it, and other issues that he has not yet figured out .
In the following week, Ace calmly continued his life of sorting books during the day and compiling dictionaries at night. He quietly checked the registration records and asked Romon about the person who sold the diary. It happened that Romon knew them. They had similar life experiences and lost their citizenship rights. It's just that the man was even more devastated, a widower who only drank to get by.
After confirming that there was no problem with the source, Ace copied the important contents of the diary, threw the diary to the worthless waste books, and watched it burn to ashes. Another week later, he consulted the Low Level Monster Illustrated Book and found descriptions of Whomping Willow and Panic Crow.
Whomping Willow, pictures, low-level plant monsters, branches will actively attack creatures close to it, once it unfortunately falls into its attack range, only by hitting the tubers on its crown hard can the violent Whomping Willow be quieted down. Some people think it may be the brain of the Whomping Willow, and that hitting the tuber hard will make it dizzy.
Panic crows, pictures, low-level bird monsters, this is a very smart and cunning monster. It does not have the special abilities of other monsters, but its intelligence may be its special feature. Once it appears in groups, it will be extremely dangerous.
These two materials seem to be related to the brains of monsters. Maybe this method can stimulate people's spirit, so that the spirit can break through the limits of mortals? Ace thought uncertainly, it seems that some experiments are needed.
It was a rest day, and Ace came to the third block in the west of the city. This is where the demon hunters gather. He wandered casually. Many demon hunters sell materials from low-level monsters here. He saw a few panicked crows tied up for sale, his eyes lit up slightly, and he walked slowly.
These crows look very interesting, brother, how do you sell them?
The young demon hunter looked down and saw that he was half-grown. This is a low-level monster, a dark crow. It has special abilities and can make people blind for a short time! It has been trained. You can buy it back as a pet. It is very cute in front of your friends. I have a face.
Brother, don't look at me as a child, just joke with me. This is obviously a panic crow without any special abilities. But I like it very much. Can you tell me a reliable price? I don't have much money.
Seeing that the young man couldn't be fooled, he also took advantage of the situation and said, I'm just teasing you. This crow is very smart, just like you. The price is fifty silver thalers.
Of course Ace refused, after some bargaining, he finally bought two crows, one big and one small, for twenty silver thalers. Both of them felt that they had made money, and everyone was happy.
Ace, strapped to the Panic Crow, continued to wander for a while, seeing whips made of Whomping Willow branches, but not Whomping Willow tubers. He thought about it, and decided to go back. Today, the crow is already a windfall.
As for the tuber of the Whomping Willow, Ace is going to ask his father to find out. Romon had beheaded many barbarians and killed monsters when he was young. He has many comrades in arms and a wide range of paths, so it is suitable for him to do this.
As for persuading him, it was easier. Since Ace was commended by the Department of Culture and Education, he was completely convinced of Ace, and he said that he had a good son.
As long as you tell him that it is necessary to study medicine, and you have the confidence of Jintale in your hand, Romon will definitely agree.
(If you think it's not bad, hope to collect this book, and vote for a few recommended votes!)
