Chapter 61: Curse of the Demon
Chapter 61: Curse of the Demon
The first attempt to refine the medicine ended in failure. The reason was very simple: the lime pomegranate fruit was not cleaned up.
"The lime pomegranate grows more than ten meters deep in the swamp mud. The smell of the swamp penetrates into every inch of the fruit flesh, and it is really not easy to peel it off completely." Ivan summed up the gains and losses and found the problem.
When a wizard makes medicine, he needs to remove the impure smell from the medicinal materials more carefully. He didn't have this problem when making medicine before. It was probably because the lime pomegranate fruit grew in an area with high concentration of particles, and the growth process was accompanied by particles and force fields.
Undeterred, he continued to work on the plaster pomegranate, more carefully than the first time.
The second refining failed. The beast blood jelly reacted too violently, stirring all the medicine liquid into a mess and losing control.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the attempt to refine the medicine failed again and again, and the number of failures had reached as high as fourteen times.
"call--"
Ivan let out a long sigh. With experience in refining the azure potion, he did not feel too much pressure about the current failure.
The panel of the top student appeared in the field of vision, and his experience value increased by more than thirty points unknowingly. His eyes were on the light of wisdom, one level 1, one level 2, and two level 3.
That level 1 light of wisdom is activated.
After 2 minutes of deep thinking and summarizing, a different kind of light burst out in his eyes.
"With so many minor omissions, it's no wonder that things always go wrong in unexpected places."
If given time, he will definitely be able to discover these small problems and correct them slowly. For now, it will only consume a bit of his wisdom.
Ivan used meditation instead of rest, and when his mental strength recovered, he started to refine the medicine for the fifteenth time.
Half an hour later, he had an extra potion in his hand.
In the small glass bottle, bright yellow particles are floating in the medicine liquid. Each particle is plump and distinct, and each particle has a red seed inside, like the seeds of the particles.
"It's done."
Compared with the nutritional potion which is also a mountain monster potion, this potion is obviously more exquisite and vivid, and can be used as a decoration when placed on the table.
Strike while the iron is hot, succeed the sixteenth time, succeed the seventeenth time.
He simply refined three batches at a time, and all of them were successful.
"The value of the nutrient potion is not as good as the azure potion, and the difficulty is not greater than the latter."
Ivan was not happy about this. He noticed that he had turned on the lights in the room without knowing when. It turned out that it was already evening and the sky had darkened without him knowing when.
Outside the laboratory, the little green-winged snake stood bored on the eaves, taking in the entire castle.
"Failed." A figure came out of the laboratory. The little green-winged snake looked excited and quickly came to the figure.
"This is a nutritional potion." Ivan spread out his hands, with three small glass bottles standing on his palms.
The little green-winged snake flapped its white wings, and one of the potions fell into its mouth. With a click, the bottle and the potion went down its stomach whole.
Ivan was stunned by this operation. It was the first time he saw such a barbaric way of drinking potion.
The little green-winged snake said with a straight face, "It still has a bit of earthy taste, and the texture is a bit worse. It doesn't have that bursting feeling when you bite it, and it's not even one percent of the taste of the one made by Toins the wizard."
"I'll try to correct it."
Ivan agreed readily. If he hadn't just drunk a cigarette and experienced the feeling of the particles being squeezed and bursting, he would have believed what Lal said.
The little green-winged snake said, "Remember the password for these three days: 'Laer's feathers are the softest.'"
A big question mark popped up in Ivan's head and he looked at it puzzledly. Toins would definitely not set such an outrageous slogan. He would not be trying to cheat.
The little green-winged snake ignored him and flapped its wings a few times before flying away ten meters away.
"Laal has the smoothest feathers."
Ivan looked around, returned to the door of the laboratory and whispered something. A protective film emerged and ripples appeared, and he passed through smoothly with the copper order.
The little green-winged snake really didn't fool him. He guessed that Toins didn't need a password to enter or exit, so he let Lal do whatever he wanted.
As Toins's pet, Lar is equivalent to the castle's chief steward, with a high position and power. Lar takes care of things that Toins is unwilling to take care of, which is why he doesn't want to offend Lar. He is a second-class apprentice and can actually contract a pet.
A magical pet is equivalent to a wizard's second life. If a magical pet dies, there will be backlash. Ivan does not understand how to make a contract or what the backlash will be like, so he will not act rashly.
Ivan walked to the bookcase and flipped through the issues that concerned him most.
'The Curse of the Demon'
Four words caught my eye.
'The World of Danara', 'Another World', 'Evolution of Curse Power', 'Body Alienation', 'Withering of Life' and so on.
Various key words flashed through his eyes, and as he read deeper, his expression became increasingly gloomy.
The curse they were under was called the 'Demon's Curse', an extremely difficult curse. They were in the 'Danaira World', but the source of the Demon's Curse was another world outside of the Danara World.
For an apprentice like him who had just embarked on the path of a wizard, this kind of thing that spanned two worlds was like an ant looking at the sky.
It must be a very tricky thing for a formal wizard. No wonder Toins took so much effort to train apprentices and then use the apprentices' power to gradually dissipate the power of the curse.
There is a large amount of information in the bookcase, which should be Toins' research information.
He definitely couldn’t finish it today, so Ivan decided to slow down and calm down before continuing.
……
a new day
After waking up, Ivan checked the data on the light film first.
[Pharmacy: lv3 (77/300)]
[Energy Particle Science: Lv1 (49/100)]
After a whole day of refining medicine yesterday, my alchemy skills increased by 71 points and my energy particle skills increased by 8 points, which indirectly shows that the value of nutritional potions is not low.
"I almost forgot. I drank a nutritional potion last night. Now I don't feel hungry at all." He stopped thinking about going to the cafeteria. Compared with the mountain monster potion he had taken before, the nutritional potion now was undoubtedly better.
On the attribute panel, his physical fitness increased by 0.2 for no reason, which made him frown.
After some inspection, there was indeed a discovery.
In just one night, his fingernails and toenails grew four or five millimeters. This was a very bad sign, meaning that the curse power in the body was out of control. It must be the influence of the second curse power bestowed by Toins.
The curse of the demon is really a fatal problem.
Ivan felt a chill on his scalp when he thought that Toins was still troubled by the curse of the evil spirit, not to mention that Toins could continue to transfer the power of the curse to them.
"Evan, come out."
As he was thinking, the voice of the little green-winged snake sounded again.
Ivan opened the door and saw a small green-winged snake floating outside.
"Morning, Lal."
"It's a good thing. Take all your things and come with me."
Ivan looked at him in confusion: "What?"
The little green-winged snake said his intention in a careless manner: "I will give you a bigger house and an attendant. This is the treatment only available to Ekz."
move place?
After listening to Penny's words, Ivan always felt a little uncomfortable living in his current house, so of course he was happy to change his dormitory.
He said hello to Jiushi who came out after hearing the noise. Under her reluctant gaze, Ivan followed the little green-winged snake from the left to the right. The new residence was a neighbor of Ekz, and there was a distance between the houses.
This is surveillance.
Ivan knew that nothing good would happen, and he probably didn't want to have much contact with other apprentices to avoid leaking secrets.
