The summer nights in Endres are always extremely short, and the morning not only comes earlier, but also is noisier than in other seasons. The sky has just turned misty blue, and the chirping of birds has already begun. .
After finishing his meditation and putting the magic book in his hand into the space ring, Li Yan stood up and pushed open the slightly heavy oak window. The sudden increase in bird song was accompanied by a blast of fresh air, and a bird with a red crown and blue feathers and a tail feathers nearly half a meter long was frightened and passed by in front of the eyes.
It¡¯s not that the bird flew low, but that Li Yan stood high. The place he is standing now is inside an oak tree dozens of meters high. This oak tree is the magic branch of Mordo Town and the town of Mordo. The most peculiar building, the Oak House.
More than twenty years ago, it was originally just an oak tree that grew normally like other big trees. The only difference was that it was bigger. At that time, it took ten townspeople to work hand in hand to hug it, because It was so big that the townspeople were discussing ways to cut it down. Later, a first-level magician who was over mid-year-old came to the town of Mordo. He was attracted by the scenery here and decided to settle here, and he took a fancy to this huge oak tree at a glance. It took a full three years to transform it into a tree house. Later, after continuous renovation and expansion, it finally became what it is now.
There are four floors in total from bottom to top. The bottom floor is now nearly 40 square meters, and the top floor is also 30 square meters. Each floor is nearly 6 meters high. There is a specially carved spiral staircase connecting the two floors, because the lower half is almost dug out. In order to ensure the stability of the tree house, the upper part of the oak tree was neatly flattened.
This building is deeply loved by the little girl Ilea. Before entering Mordo Town yesterday morning, she talked about it for most of her chirping words along the way. However, when Li Yan saw this building in person, he still liked it. Amazed by its strangeness.
Looking down, the entire town of Mordo was in full view. At this time, the town was still in a peaceful sleep.
Wearing a mage's robe, Li Yan walked down the stairs gently. As soon as he reached the second floor, he found a busy figure sitting in front of a wooden experimental table. It was Dean, the only magician in the magic branch of Mordo Town. ¡¤ Bell.
Yesterday, when Dean met Li Yan for the first time and learned that he was a level 3 magician from the Mages Association of Pompeii, he was very happy when he came here to transport a batch of magic items. You must know that he is an absolute master in Mordo Town. It is rare to meet a mage companion, not to mention that this companion also carries precious gifts. And when Dean learned about Li Yan's rescue of the two sisters from Ilea's chirping mouth, he felt a huge fondness for him. He was frightened and thanked him repeatedly! The two girls are now like his granddaughters.
At this time, seeing Dean busy with something, Li Yan didn't speak, just waited quietly.
After a while, it seemed that the work was completed. Dean let out a breath and rubbed his wrist at the same time.
"Mr. Dean, good morning." A soft greeting came over.
"Ha, good morning, Mr. Li Yan." When he turned around and found that it was Li Yan, Dean, who had already stood up, smiled and said quickly, "How was your rest last night?"
After a slight pause, as if recalling the feeling of resting last night, Li Yan replied with a smile: "It's a very strange tree house, but it feels great."
"Haha." Dean laughed heartily as he was very satisfied with Li Yan's praise.
"Mr. Dean, if I may take the liberty, were you making a potion just now?" Li Yan asked cautiously after the laughter subsided.
"Ha, you don't have to be so polite, you can come over and take a look." Dean spread his right hand and left hand and waved generously.
"Making magic potion is not easy. What I just made is just ordinary herbal medicine." Gently picking up a small dark green glass bottle on the table, Dean said, "This is an antipyretic potion. If someone is fainted by the sun, In the past, just carrying him to a cool place and feeding him this would wake him up quickly.¡±
Passing the small bottle to Li Yan's hand, he pointed to an ordinary short green plant remaining on the test bench and said to him: "The main herb is this, water chestnut."
"It's so exquisite." Li Yan picked up the grass and looked at it. Li Yan knew that this should be the "Chinese medicine culture" of the Endres continent. He gently put down the potion and herbs and asked: "Can you make magic potions?" "
"Of course!" When talking about potions, Dean looked confident and proud. "Although my magic skills have not improved over the years, I think I am pretty good at making potions. Follow me."
Before he finished speaking, he took Li Yan's hand and walked quickly towards the stairs. The third floor was Dean's bedroom. Dean opened the wooden door of the bedroom and quickly squatted in front of a small cabinet half a person's height against the wall. Opened the cabinet door. Suddenly, small transparent crystal bottles containing potions appeared in Li Yan's eyes.Red, light yellow, light green, dark green, sky blue, etc. put together are simply colorful. There are some small boxes on the right that cannot be seen inside.
"Let's take a look at these." I don't know if it's because no one has been able to appreciate it. Now that he met his close friend Li Yan, Dean showed off like a child.
Squatting gently beside him, Li Yan sighed softly: "It's so beautiful. Are these all magic potions?"
"Yes." Dean smiled and nodded, carefully picked up a bottle of pink potion and said, "This is the primary healing potion." He put it down again and picked up the light yellow potion and said, "This is the weak lion potion. The power of the king." "This is applied with the primary perception potion."
He changed several bottles of potions in succession and simply pointed at them one by one: "Light green is the weak wind speed potion, dark green is the weak life potion, dark red is the blood of the primary troll, brown is the viper's strike, The golden color is the power of the secondary cave demon."
"You are so amazing!" Looking at the dazzling array of potions in front of him, Li Yan expressed his sincere admiration.
Potions is a branch of magic study, its status is the same as scroll making, and the two are equally difficult to make. If you want to successfully make a magic potion, you need to absolutely grasp the proportion of herbs, strictly implement the timing of adding different herbs, and the temperature. What is more important and the most difficult to do is the control of the magic elements by mental power!
Because it is a magic potion, specific magic elements need to be incorporated into the production process of the potion to stimulate or even change the medicinal properties of the medicinal herbs, so that the generated potion can eventually exhibit magical magical effects, such as the third-level magic potion "Devil's Fire" "It is a direct offensive magic potion that can generate "big fireballs".
That¡¯s why Li Yan spoke highly of Dean¡¯s works. If these potions were taken out, almost none of them would cost less than 100 gold coins, because they are universal, that is, any professional can use them!
"It's a pity that I haven't been able to break through the bottleneck of level 2 magicians all these years, and can only make level 1 potions." After hearing Li Yan's compliments, Dean shook his head regretfully, then turned around and said: " Do you want to learn potions?"
Nodding, Li Yan looked into the old man's eyes: "Yes, I am curious about potions, but if I want to fully learn how to make potions here, I may not be able to do it. After all, I will go back to Pompeii to submit a report to the teacher soon. ."
"It's okay." Dean said with a smile, then opened a hidden small drawer under the cabinet and took out a book, "This is "Introduction to Potions". You can read it and maybe try to refine it. A bottle of magic potion, if you have any questions, you can ask me."
"Thank you." Without refusing, Li Yan carefully took the nearly one-inch-thick book.
Just when he was about to look through the pages, there was a knock on the door downstairs. The two squatting on the ground realized that it was already bright, and a ray of golden sunlight shone on Dean's bed through the cracked window. The two stood up quickly.
"Oh, has so much time passed?" Dean patted his head and said with an apologetic smile.
"Ha, we all forgot the time." Li Yan also said with a smile.
"It must be Froya knocking on the door downstairs. I'm so sorry, I even forgot to prepare breakfast for you."
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Dean, what you just gained is much greater than breakfast."
The door opened, and a crisp and soft voice came in at the same time. Outside the door, Froya and Ilea bowed to Dean together.
"Ha, good morning, kids."
"Ah!" Froya, who raised her head, suddenly saw Li Yan standing next to Dean and exclaimed softly. She quickly bowed again, "Good morning, Mr. Li Yan."
Ilea on the other side was not far behind, "Good morning, big brother."
"Froya and Ilea, good morning to you." Li Yan returned the greeting with a smile.
Seeing Li Yan bending down slightly and remembering the mage salute to him yesterday, Froya's face turned slightly red. She is the only child with magical talent in Mordo Town. She was accepted as a magic apprentice by Dean. The mage ceremony was given to her by Professor Dean. However, since there were almost no other official wizards in Mordo Town, the girl faced Dean. Also from using the mage ritual, Dean accidentally forgot to tell her: the mage ritual is a ritual that only formal mages can use.
That¡¯s why she made a hasty mage salute to Li Yan yesterday morning. When Li Yan met Dean and Froya saluted again, Dean suddenly realized and gave her additional guidance.
Until now, the girl was still a little shy in front of Li Yan.
After letting the two little girls sit down in the house, Dean immediately asked Froya with concern: "YesterdayHow about meditation on ??? "
Biting her lip lightly, Froya shook her head in frustration: "It still didn't work. My sister said that I only woke up after meditating for fifteen minutes."
"Oh, don't worry, it's better than before. You will definitely succeed after hard work." Dean patted Froya's shoulder kindly, and Dean comforted softly.
Li Yan on the side thought for a while and asked: "Can you feel the magic elements around you when you meditate?"
"Yes." Froya nodded.
¡°Then can magic elements be absorbed into the body?¡±
"No, I wake up quickly every time I try to absorb elements."
Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, Li Yan showed a smile: "Maybe, I can help you solve this problem."
