Chapter 136 Knight's Secret
Chapter 136 Knight's Secret
The next day.
Ivan came back to his senses from meditation and could see a faint grey aura mixed in with his mental power. It wasn't much but it was extremely stubborn. According to his estimation, it would take about ten days to clear it out.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door.
Cam was standing outside the door, looking at Ivan inside with a smile on his face.
"Good morning, Ivan."
"Good morning, please come in."
"I have accomplished my mission. This is what you asked me to find." Came explained his purpose as soon as he entered the house.
A parchment roll and several boxes.
The Ten Feathers Secret Medicine is a knight-level universal breathing method secret medicine recipe, and its effect focuses on agility, which just meets Ivan's needs.
The box contained medicinal materials for refining the "Ten Feathers Secret Medicine", just enough to make ten portions.
It was only the second day, and Ivan couldn't help but admire the other party's efficiency.
"Kamei, the things are exactly what I wanted. I won't say much about my thanks. The herbs are considered magic stones."
"As long as you are satisfied, forget about the magic stones. You know I don't need them. It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't refuse it."
The two of them pushed and quibbled for a while. Since the medicinal herbs were indeed not worth that many magic stones, Came kept emphasizing that Ivan no longer dwelled on this point.
After a few seconds, Kamei hesitated and said, "I heard from my sister that your spiritual power has been polluted. It takes time to clean it up, right?"
Ivan nodded: "Yes, it will take another ten days. During this period, it is not advisable to use spiritual power."
It's just that he shouldn't use it on a large scale, as it would affect the removal of the polluted aura. It's not that he can't use it. The last time he came out of the Kanda Magic Stone Mine, he reduced his use of it. Heidi and others knew this.
"Evan, would you like to come to my reading room during this free time?"
"Reading room?"
"Yes, it is my sister's and my reading room. It is also a small private library. There are many books and enchantment notes given by elders. If you are willing to come and read, you will definitely gain something."
"Heidi doesn't mind?" Ivan asked in surprise.
"She said she didn't mind at all."
Camille was sure her sister wouldn't mind as she was the one who suggested the solution.
In the wizarding world, knowledge is valuable, and it is impossible for Camille and her brother not to realize this. This is where Ivan hesitated. One should not push for more.
Came continued, "You are a third-class apprentice after all. If you want to come, come. If you don't want to come, forget it. Don't be so fussy."
It sounded strange that these words came out of Cam's mouth. Ivan looked at him blankly.
"That's what my sister said."
"This is a good thing. If you don't mind, why should I mind?"
Ivan was speechless, then agreed.
The two agreed to visit the private reading room of the Came siblings tomorrow.
After seeing Cam off, Ivan began to think about what gift to bring. He couldn't go to the door empty-handed, as that was not in his habit.
His eyes stopped on the prescription that Came had just brought, and an idea came to his mind.
"As a knight's potion, it shouldn't be difficult to refine."
The Ten Feathers Secret Medicine is a potion used by knights. There are not many methods of alchemy involved for apprentices, and it does not require much mental effort. He is in the right condition to make it.
[Pharmacy experience +1]
[Pharmacy: lv4 (927/1000)]
With his current attainments in alchemy, refining the Ten Feathers Secret Medicine would be a piece of cake.
The experience points brought by the Ten Feathers Secret Medicine are not much, but it is better than nothing.
A new day. Ivan arrived at Lydia Castle as promised. Due to the barriers of the academy, the castle was even more magical.
He didn't find it strange that there was a large castle in the academy. Lydia's family was powerful, so it was not impossible for them to have a manor. The difference lay in whether the people in Lydia's family were willing to do so.
Came was already waiting at the door.
Ivan didn't look around for long. After entering the castle, he followed Came all the way to the so-called "reading room", which was a small semi-open hall next to a courtyard full of exotic flowers and plants.
"My sister is not here."
"I'm not familiar with her."
"I know. I hope you can forgive her previous behavior. My sister is sometimes a little too willful."
Came said as she looked around and deliberately lowered her voice.
Seeing his serious look, Ivan couldn't help but nodded.
"Oh, this is a gift."
"Can you open it?"
"casual."
Ivan handed him a box.
Came opened the box, revealing four rows of four groups of potions. He took out one of them, opened the lid and sniffed it.
"This is Ginger Water. It's of top quality and has a peculiar scent. It seems to be a bit better than the ordinary top-grade Ginger Water. You wouldn't have optimized it, right?" Came was born into a wizard family and had extraordinary knowledge. He could see the uniqueness of the potion at a glance.
"That's insightful. The other one is the Ten Feathers Secret Medicine." Ivan affirmed. He must not come empty-handed. He thought about it and finally thought of the only thing he could think of was the potion.
Previously, he derived Jiang Xia Water based on Jiang Nai Water. His control and understanding of Jiang Nai Water itself can be described as "perfection". On the original basis, he slightly optimized Jiang Nai Water, and the effect was enhanced by about 20%.
Don't underestimate these 20%. It is equivalent to getting 120 points out of a 100-point test.
What a gift requires is its uniqueness. Fortunately, he had a lot of Jiang Nai Water left over from what he had refined some time ago.
Seeing his thoughtfulness from the gift, Came gladly accepted it and began to introduce her own collection of books to him.
"Over here are enchantment notes and books on runes and elemental particles. Over there are some miscellaneous books, including various languages, books on knights, records of the evolution of the Moonclamp Peninsula, academy chronicles, wizard travel notes, astrological observations, etc."
"Casual look."
Ivan naturally wouldn't be polite.
The library did not have books related to enchantment notes and runes, nor was the collection as comprehensive and in-depth as here. He estimated that there should be a lot of useful information in it. He first picked up a book about the origin of knights to read.
"Does the human breathing method really originate from the Centaurs?"
"That's right. Knights are called 'knights' not because of their mounts, but because they are called centaurs. Centaurs are a race with the upper body of humans and the lower body of horses. The warriors among them are called 'knights'. Unfortunately, the centaurs like to migrate, and no one knows where they migrated to a long time ago."
"Do you think it's possible to develop a method for insects to breathe?"
"Well - I haven't thought about it, maybe it's possible, we can try combining it with anatomy. Are you interested in the way of chivalry?"
"Yes, maybe I can become a legendary knight."
The atmosphere in the reading room was good, and the two of them chatted while reading.
Hearing his words, Came's heart moved.
When Ivan came to the reading room again the next day, he found that there were many more books about knights. They were not about breathing techniques, but records of wizards and apprentices' research on breathing techniques. Between the lines, it could be seen that the experiments were filled with blood.
Ivan felt a little uncomfortable watching such content.
But Cam didn't think it was strange, or maybe she was used to it.
This is the difference in cognition between the two. Ivan knows very well that Cam's thinking is the authentic wizard thinking, which is also what he lacks.
