Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 41: The wizard
It's still dark. Ivan, who didn't fall asleep at all last night, got up early, wiped his face casually, and greeted Gary, who didn't know when he was back last night, and rushed out.
Now he can no longer take care of that booklet. It may be the stolen goods registered by the supply ship.
Jingling bell...
"Mr. Kridov, good morning!"
walked into the top three private pharmacies in Gabride, and greeted Mr. Mr., who was already busy behind the counter.
"Good morning, Mr. Irwin! Ah, you are already a captain. It is an honor for the shop. It is great to start a beautiful day with such good news!"
The shop manager with elegant looks and curly hair noticed the change of Irvine's epaulettes at first sight, smiled congratulations immediately, even slightly exaggerated in aria style.
The rise of own customer status means that purchasing power will inevitably increase accordingly. Kridov’s congratulations are very sincere.
"Mr. Irwin, you came right in time. The last herb you asked me to buy has arrived. I’ll give it to you later."
suddenly seemed to remember something.
Kridov looked for a while, took out a box from behind the counter, handed it to Aiwen, and introduced:
"Look, the iron reef moss that has grown for at least 30 years has its roots turned into purple and black! This thing is really hard to find, if it weren’t for my purchase channels, no one knew that there was such a side door. Of medicinal materials."
Opening the wooden box and seeing the contents inside, Ivan’s eyes flashed with surprise. Originally, I just wanted to collect the raw materials for the "developer potion", but I didn't expect to even get the last adjuvant prepared for the preparation of the "Black Sea Potions".
And the iron reef moss in the wooden box has excellent color, which is much more than the basic requirements of the Black Sea Potions. Ivan is very satisfied.
"That's right, exactly what I wanted, the manager of Kridov really makes people feel relieved."
After putting away the wooden box, Aiwen handed him a list of ingredients: "I have to ask the store manager for these things."
"These are some common medicines, and they are now available in the store." Kridov smiled and took the list, glanced at it, and quickly matched Irvine's needs and handed it to his hand.
After a while, Aiwen settled the balance with the manager and walked out of the pharmacy with a cloth bag.
"Sure enough, I am a poor man and a rich man. The ancients don't deceive me!"
Aiwen overturned the bag in his hand, the not-so-valuable "developer" raw materials plus all the adjuvants of "Black Sea Potions", it actually cost Aiwen a hundred golden lions, which is almost equivalent to The income of an ordinary sailor for ten years!
Although Ivan’s gold coins saved in his hands are not small, he still feels a pain.
Because this is just ordinary materials that don’t involve transcendental materials, thinking about the value of transcendental master materials, Ivan couldn’t help but pity for the money bag that he was destined to shrink greatly in the future.
He was going to wait for Gehr to come back, and then asked him the source of the main material of the "Black Sea Potions", and then proceeded to purchase.
No matter how much wealth he has, he serves his extraordinary way. He has not forgotten his main purpose of joining the navy. When it comes time to spend the money, he will not be stingy at all.
went back to his small courtyard. Gary was still exercising by the sea. Ivan didn't join in. He now has more important work to do.
Collected the iron reef moss, he eagerly went to the independent small attic on the top floor, found a full set of dispensing tools that he had bought long ago, and began to prepare the "developing potion".
Thanks to the fact that it does not involve extraordinary materials and Ivan’s solid pharmacy foundation, the preparation process is very smooth.
half an hour later.
staring at the rapidly changing notebook after being immersed in a basin full of developer agents, Ivan held his breath nervously.
Amidst the rustling sound of a small worm, the change began.
First, the stained colorful dyes are stripped first and dissolved in the water. Then the original writing on the paper gradually disappears, and new illustrations and text slowly emerge.
Unsurprisingly, all the new texts are "Cartha language" with extraordinary power!
After two minutes, the final change was completed. The handwriting in the entire book has been replaced by "Cartha" written in dark green ink. And now the handwriting is compact, and the content is at least twice as large as before.
Take it out and let it dry. The special paper is not damaged by the immersion. Instead, it seems to have been refurbished by skilled craftsmen and turned into a brand new book.
"Hoo——"
took a deep breath.
subconsciously, I don’t want others to discover my secrets. I guess Gary won’t be back for a while. After closing the door, Ivan gently turned the pages of the book.
The brand-new text instantly immersed Aiwen in it, and he couldn't care about anything else.
沙——
沙——
I saw it for most of the day. Even though Gary knocked on the door several times in the middle, he was prevaricated by him. It was not until sunset that Ivan let out a sigh of relief and slowly closed the booklet.
Putting his chin in both hands, Ivan stared at the sunset outside the window and the sparkling waves in the distant sea for a long time.
"Sure enough, there is a big secret hidden. It's just that I don't know if it is good or bad."
This is the diary of a pharmacist named Leon about a hundred years ago. It contains both his daily life and the results of his research, but it is Leon’s identity that most frustrates Ivan... ...A real wizard!
is not an unrecognizable indigenous witch doctor who is as evil and strange as the Ga Gong on the "One-eyed Becky" ship. But a sensible, no, a wise medical scientist, pharmacist, and a tireless truth seeker.
To be honest, thanks to the memory of his previous life, Ivan has no prejudice against the wizard himself.
But it was the first time to come into contact with an orthodox wizard, or the traces of his existence, so close.
After all, the extraordinary road that dominates the mainstream of civilized countries on the mainland is the knight’s path, whether it is the father Furman, Grandpa Leo, or the later Viscount Andrea, the instructor after joining the army, Major Eugene, and Gehr. Uncle, they are all extraordinary knights who have reached official ranks in the road of knights.
Even Ivan himself has practiced since childhood, and now he is standing before the threshold of a formal knight.
can be a mysterious wizard to the gods, but Ivan can only learn half of his claws from the legendary stories, combined with the settings of various fantasy works in the previous life~IndoMTL.com~, can form a very vague image in his mind.
Unfortunately, this image is not so beautiful.
The horror stories that made children stop crying when they were young, the Holy See's "witch hunt", the risk of out-of-control of the African knights' roads in the words of Grandpa Leo and Uncle Ge, and the indigenous witch doctors who saw them with their own eyes.
All this puts a negative label on the image of the wizard in Aiwen's mind.
So, before today, even if he was very curious about the magical profession of wizarding because of his previous life, Ivan never dared to explore too much.
It's not a good thing to be too curious about the supernatural world, especially if you don't have a guide, you risk exploring deep and hidden things, and the risk is so high that Ivan can't bear it!
But now the diary of Apothecary Leon has revealed a mysterious corner of the wizarding world for Alvin. Although it is difficult to get a complete picture, it also allows Alvin to understand what an orthodox wizard is like.
"Explore the secrets of the human body like a surgeon, study the use of each herb like a botanist, summarize and summarize with the thinking of a statistician, and see the essence through the phenomenon!"
Ivan gently squeezed his fist, as if holding the whole world.
Isn't this a scientist in another world?
is just a research tool changed from various modern instruments to convenient and magical witchcraft. Maybe some of their ideas make this era which is still backward, but they have a great sense of identification with Aiwen, who has previous life experience.
The reason why people are different from animals is that they have wisdom, they can continuously learn, inherit, and apply knowledge from the natural world, and use knowledge to pry power instead of wielding paws to fight against beasts.
And it is this kind of power and wisdom that makes Aiwen deeply fascinated!
