Ethan and Ishandra come to Akara's tent together, and Ethan helped Akara make potions as he said before. 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. After he has processed these herbs properly, Akara can use these semifinished products to make finished medicines.
In this process, Ethan was able to combine the knowledge he saw last night with practical operations, further understand and absorb, and then continue to observe the whole process of Akara making potions, and thoroughly understand the entire magic potion production Methods and processes.
"Generally speaking, the production of magic potions is like this."
Akara pointed to the raw materials in front of him and then pointed to the finished potion red in the small transparent bottle liquid.
"Choose suitable raw materials, first carry out simple treatments, such as cleaning, removing useless parts, or using a spell to remove the inapplicable energy; then drying or using a direct spell to dry, this process Corresponding spell must be used to 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 it is extraction and refining. Extract the essence of medicinal herb and mix some auxiliary materials to make the medicine you want."
For example, in the medicine made by Akara, the auxiliary material is water, which is convenient and applicable... Yes, the reason for making the medicine is because 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 extract the effect you want and make it into a potion? In this regard, Akara's teachings are not very detailed, and even what she said is a bit mysterious. After listening for a long time, Ethan can only understand it as: this thing is purely a personal perception if you can study it and understand it is really clear If you don't understand, you can't learn if you tried.
"This is too..."
After thinking for a long time, he 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 career is so high, you really can't make any big achievements if you don't have enough IQ.
"First, you must have good physical fitness, and now you need to have a high IQ perception. No wonder that in some works, the masters are all plug-ins. Based on the requirements of this innate condition, if the training is garbage, Who is still a mage?"
No way, practice!
Fortunately, the making of magic potions has almost no magic requirements. Although some spells need to be used, they can be done with a magic array that can use external forces. The working principle of this magic array has also become one of the goals of Ethan's learning. After all, when he lacks enough spiritual strength to breed potions himself, or draw magic power from other places for his own use, this kind of ability, The ability to extract from the current environment or some items that contain magical powers and display effects can solve many of Ethan's problems.
He also considered changing this magic array so that he can cast a few small spells on his own, and the problem of the energy supply of the magic array can also be solved, he thought of those in the calm sea Inferior magic stones, the energy contained in those magic stones is enough to perform some small magic.
Thinking of this, Ethan's enthusiasm increased a bit, and he became more motivated to learn. Not only did he listen carefully, but he also kept asking various strange questions. Many questions were asked by Akara. Knowing how to answer, living in the world of the information explosion in his previous life, Ethan's most indispensable thing is his brain.
Fortunately, Akara still has a lot of medicinal herbs of other natures in his hand. She gave these medicinal herbs to Ethan to practice potion making and magic array usage. In the next few days, Ethan helped Akara deal with medicinal herb in the morning, and then when Akara made the red potion in the afternoon, he practiced with some poor quality medicinal herb nearby.
Akara will also take the time to give some advice, tell him what is wrong, which aspect is good, and will also answer some of Ethan's insights about the magic array. Compared with the previous pure brainstorming, after using the magic array for a few days, and having a clearer understanding of the principle of the use of the magic array, some of the ideas proposed 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 you What kind of spell is used."
How can Ethan know this? According to his previous thoughts, he wanted to design a magic array that could cast Fireball Technique. The formidable power didn't even need to be too large, just a fist-sized Fireball.
As for the temperature of the flame, the degree of concentration, and the explosive formidable power contained in it, he has no high requirements. Even a simple fire is enough for him.
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 Technique spell, at least you must understand its principles, otherwise, How can you build a magic array?
The current situation is that Ethan understands the principles of energy supply and solves the source of energy, but has no idea about the construction and final release. Akara is a churchman, not a mage, after all. She is proficient in the divine technique of healing rather than elemental attack magic, so Ethan wants to complete the magic array he envisioned, which requires formal and system-related learning Knowledge of magic.
If it was before, even if he wanted to learn, he didn't know who to look for, but at the moment there happened to be a suitable candidate: Ishandra, an excellent witch from the wizard group, who was good at fire magic, A powerful wizard who uses the three elemental energies of Frost and Thunder.
"Do you want to learn magic with me?"
Ishandra has lived in the camp during this period. Every day all will make a big circle around the camp. While investigating Power of Darkness, by the way, help clean up some dark creatures around the camp.
With the help of a powerful wizard-like Ishandra, the Rogues in the camp are much less stressed, so Ishandra's prestige in the camp is also rising day by day.
The advantage brought is that Ethan wants to find Ishanjola very easily, almost at random to know where the powerful Lord Ishanjola is doing.
"To put it simply, I want to learn some of the principles of a spell."
Ethan puts his own ideas and prepares to make a few pieces of equipment engraved with specific magic arrays. After listening to the detailed explanation, Ishandrola just frowned: "Such magic equipment is not difficult to make, but it is not very valuable."
What Ethan wants to make, They are all the simplest props, and there is no material requirement, just a piece of common equipment is engraved with a magic array, and then the spell preset in the magic array is displayed through the trigger of spiritual strength. Similar equipment is not uncommon in this World, but no one will use such inferior materials to engrave such basic magic at the same time.
This thing can even be called rough and simple! The Master of Orthodox Inheritance, Ishandra, obviously doesn't like this.
"Think about the benefits of these, not at all to your mage path, you should still cultivation properly and improve your spirit strength-in fact, as long as your spiritual strength is improved, you can officially start learning the spell. At that time, you can cast these simple magics with your bare hands."
Ethan shook his head helplessly: "But now I don't have any power to protect myself. I may die at any time. In the hands of a dark creature, how can I cultivate spirit strength or even learn magic if I die?"
"Eh..." Ishandra could not refute it. This is indeed a very realistic question: "Okay, I can tell you some basic magic principles."
These basic magics are not secrets that cannot be taught. Once you start to learn magic officially, a mage will know these things. Ishandra originally wanted to teach a few simple attack magic and defense magic, but soon changed her mind and took out a book from her luggage.
"This is a book of basic magic principles. I have given it to you. All the spells you need are recorded in it." Ishandrola looked at Ethan with a face full of information and finally added: "But I still want to remind you that the simple basic spell is fine. If you want to build more profound magic on the item, you can't succeed with ordinary materials."
Ethan nodded, He still knows the point. Akara mentioned to him before: "In fact, even if it is a few magic arrays of entry magic, I am going to make a weakened version."
Even if it is entry-level If you build it according to the most huge might, you can't just find something and just carve it up. 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. The materials that have excellent conductivity and can withstand a large amount of energy impact are extremely rare magic materials, which cannot be obtained in Ethan's current state.
So, even if he got a whole book of entry-level spell principles from Ishandra, 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 spell principle 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, and finally I discovered that the darkest energy in this area is an underground cave called the Evil Cave. After discussing with Akara, I thought it might be there. It's the gathering point for all dark creatures around here."
"So?" Ethan didn't think Ishandrola came to team up with him to fight the evil cave. He didn't have the battle strength.
"I need you to do me a favor." Ishandra handed over a letter: "Before I came here, I met a Rasma priest who was also investigating The reason for the soaring Power of Darkness, so I hope you will send him a letter for me, and let him come here to destroy those dark creatures with me."
