Chapter 72: Spring Buds
Chapter 72: Spring Buds
Flying Fish Harbor Pier.
The dock is under martial law today. It turns out that Earl Hobson has arrived with a group of officials. It's quite a big scene. These nobles keep looking at the sea, as if they are waiting for a ship to arrive.
"coming."
Someone muttered.
On the sea level, a black dot gradually grew larger, and a large ship that was different from the style of the Principality of Xiangmai came into view, approaching the Flying Fish Harbor at an extraordinary speed.
The giant whale-carrying ship is clearly a wizard ship.
At this time, there were two wizards standing on the bow of the ship, looking at the remote island in front of them.
"Wizard Bernardson, Toins from your academy has seriously disrupted the order this time and caused considerable losses to everyone. He must be given an explanation." Ang said. He came to ask for an explanation on behalf of the North Moon Alliance. He had to make this clear in advance to avoid greater conflicts later.
"Let's investigate the matter first." Bernardson was reluctant to say more.
In fact, Toins also caused a lot of trouble to the college, and he also wanted to settle a score with Toins on behalf of the college.
The wizard ship rode the wind and waves, and soon reached the east bank of the pier, stirring up waves.
The giant whale lurked underwater, and its huge silhouette made many nobles silently step back, not daring to get too close to the beast.
Seeing the two wizards jumping onto the dock, Earl Hobson hurried to greet them: "Lord Ang, you are finally here." His attitude was very respectful, and seeing this, the other nobles hurriedly saluted and greeted them.
Ange said: "This is the wizard Bernardson from the Mona Ant Farm Hut. He will come forward to persuade the wizard Toins."
"Mr. Bernardson, welcome to Flying Fish Harbor. I am Colin Hobson, the mayor of this small town."
Earl Hobson knew very well how terrifying a wizard was, so he did not dare to neglect him in any way and his attitude was more respectful than that towards Wizard Ange.
The two wizards didn't like the red tape of the nobles very much. They asked some questions about Toins in a swift and decisive manner. After a while, they left by boat and headed towards the Laer Island occupied by Toins.
……
Above the vast ocean, a black ship with patterns all over it was sailing slowly.
"These are leeches, what are you doing with these little bugs?"
In the hall in front, Penny, who was doing nothing, found bubbles floating in front of Ivan. Inside the bubbles were bugs. She curiously came over to take a look, but didn't see anything special.
Ivan said casually: "Bubble leeches, a kind of medicinal material."
He originally had a jar of bubble leeches, but he only carried a dozen of them with him, leaving the rest in the laboratory in the castle.
"Don't answer if you don't want to."
Of course, Penny didn't believe it. She turned and left the conversation room, and went to the bow to align the direction to prevent the giant iron-edged turtle from pulling the boat around.
Ivan ignored her and continued to sum up the gains and losses.
There are now nine major subjects on the Xueba panel:
[Pharmacy: lv4 (19/1000)]
[Knight's Breathing Skills: lv3 (183/300)]
[Energy Particle Science: Lv1 (79/100)]
[Meditation: Lv1 (31/100)]
[Runes: Lv2 (98/200)]
[Linguistics: lv1 (22/100)]
[Curse: lv1 (16/100)]
[Biology: lv0 (3/10)]
[Plane Science: lv0 (4/10)]
When comprehending the rune ritual array, a [Plane Studies] was inexplicably added, and its function is unknown.
After comprehending the runes, rune learning increased by about 190 experience points and was upgraded to level 2; curse learning increased by 20 points and was upgraded to a level 1 subject.
At that time, he used a level 3 light of wisdom and a level 4 light of great wisdom, especially the latter, which was particularly effective. With the collision of various knowledge, he suddenly deduced two things: Spring Buds and Ginger Summer Water.
The Bud of Spring is a pseudo-life seed that he deduced by combining the energy of life, sacrificial runes, and secret seals, with reference to the Spring Mantra and the Seed of Life. He named it "Bud of Spring".
The Water of Jiang Xia is a new potion he derived based on the Water of Jiang Nai and physical strength potion, combining it with the method of removing the curse power using sacrificial array runes and the Curse of Summer.
When he was comprehending the rune ritual array in the cave, he was thinking about how to resolve the curse of the demon, trying to find a way out of it, so the objects of application of Spring Buds and Ginger Summer Water were all insects, which was a continuation of the "insect-turned-curse" method that Toins abandoned.
Fortunately, he finally got some results, which was worth his risk.
"The issue of the demon curse cannot be delayed any longer. If we delay any further, there may be serious problems." Ivan still thinks so now. After the previous tossing, the curse pattern on his arm has expanded a little, and his eyes have become darker. He estimates that it can be comparable to three times the curse power that Toins gave to the apprentice. The problem is very serious.
"There are so many sea beasts in the sea that no one can sleep tonight."
"no problem."
As night fell, Penny suggested not sleeping at night, and Ivan agreed.
Penny guarded the bow and Ivan guarded the stern.
After looking after the child for a while, Ivan called Jiushi and asked her to help him watch the child for a while and call him if there was anything.
Ivan came to the small dormitory where he lived.
According to the deduced 'Spring Bud' method, he absorbed a wisp of life energy from his body, condensed it into the size of a rice grain, and then used his mental power to engrave runes on it. There were only three simple and strange runes.
Understanding is one thing, implementation is another.
After trying dozens of times, I became more and more proficient in the operation, but I failed every time. I always felt that something was missing.
He wondered if he had missed something or just hadn't grasped it fully.
Thinking carefully about the whole process, he slapped his head suddenly, and almost forgot that this was the power of a knight. He shouldn't do this from a wizard's perspective. Even the knight-level fighting spirit cannot leave the body, let alone the inferior life energy.
He stretched out his palm, condensed a rice-sized seed of life energy under the skin of his palm, and engraved runes on it.
First.
the second.
The rice grains trembled continuously and collapsed in an instant.
He suppressed it with his fighting spirit in time and did not cause any trouble in his body.
"Sure enough."
After trying several more times, Ivan finally condensed a complete "Spring Bud".
The Buds of Spring were inspired by the Curse of Spring in Curse of the Demon's Grudge. In fact, it has nothing to do with the Curse of the Demon's Grudge itself. It has two functions: one is to bring seeds of strength to insects, and the other is to establish a deep connection between him and the insects, just like Toins passed on the 'Ode to Spring Wood' meditation method to his apprentices.
The water of Jiangxia is the means to transfer the power of the curse. It is more delicate than Toins' method of directly bestowing the curse, and is more suitable for insects.
He summoned a bubble leech and planted the Spring Bud, which he had spent a lot of effort on, into the leech's body. No change is the best change, so he placed the leech alone in a glass bottle.
Ivan stretched himself. It was already late outside, almost midnight.
It was Jiushi who kept watch until dawn, and the night went surprisingly smoothly.
There are mysterious runes engraved around the ship, which can reduce the intrusion of sea beasts on the ship. This result is also expected.
"Ivan, come here quickly."
Just as he was feeling thankful that nothing unexpected had happened, Penny's anxious voice rang out.
He came to the bow, and Penny frowned and said, "The direction seems wrong."
"you sure?"
"It shouldn't be wrong."
Ivan suddenly felt that something was wrong. He came to the bow and shouted to the sea below: "Joe, is this the route to Flying Fish Harbor?"
Hearing his shout, the giant iron-edged turtle shook its head up and down and pulled the boat harder.
The giant turtle thought he was well disguised, but his big round, rolling eyes told it all.
