The golden text records the formula of the Magic String Potion in great detail. There are a total of seventy-two basic materials, each with detailed properties of the material marked at the back. wwW, QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO, coMAt the end of the recipe, the author left a sentence that made Salin a little wary.
"The magic string potion can transform the body of the magic apprentice to form a special magic string. However, this method that goes against nature will make the magic apprentice pay an unpredictable price. I would like to remind those who read this text that what you have paid, It will be more than you get.”
What you give will exceed what you get!
Unpredictable costs…
Salin hesitated. He sincerely admired the author of this book, and he could not turn a blind eye to the warning left by the author.
What price will you pay
die? impossible.
If any magic potion causes danger to the user, the inventor of the formula will make detailed notes later. For example, the elderly cannot take it, low-level mages cannot take it, or people with heart injuries cannot take it, and so on. Or what side effects magic potion can cause, there will also be a final note.
If not the threat of death, what is it? The author reminded in a very cautious tone that Salin could not figure out, besides death, what other price could be so serious that it could match the formation of a magic string.
Salin thought hard and couldn't figure out what the author was implying. He closed the book, silently recited the names of the seventy-two materials, and estimated the approximate prices.
The cheapest material is only one silver coin, and the most expensive material is only two hundred gold coins. It takes roughly one thousand gold coins to assemble the materials for a magic string potion. The gold coins currently in Saleen's hand are not enough to make three potions. The formula does not mention the success rate of the magic string potion. According to ordinary rules, the success rate of this potion will be very low, with a maximum of less than 10%.
The success rate of configuring magic potion has nothing to do with luck, the most important thing is experience and mental strength. Salin has enough mental strength but very little experience. He has only learned about magic potions for three months, and the success rate of magic potions that are easy to create is only about half.
It was just material worth one gold coin, and Salin could accept it whether it was successful or not. The magic string potion is different. If it fails, you will lose a thousand gold coins.
Since Salin discovered this recipe, he has never thought of giving up. He could not forget the days of poverty, let alone the incident in which he was imprisoned and almost died. If Jason hadn't arrived, he would have died in prison. Jason won't show up every time. If you want to live well, you must have your own power.
Becoming a true magician is the only method Salin knows. But he couldn't waste it without limit. Jason didn't give him pocket money. If he wanted to get the materials for the magic potion, he had to find a way to make money. Where to make money
Gang of thieves, Dika!
Salin's eyes lit up, it was him. If a thief wants to commit a crime, various medicines are essential. Regular equipment stores will not sell dangerous potions. If you want to obtain the magic potions needed by thieves, you must have a magician familiar to the thieves who is willing to help. Salin smiled. It seemed that knowing a thief was not a bad thing.
A week later, when Salin entered the city, he left a message with the owner of the equipment store, asking for a man named Dika. Half a month later, he contacted the young thief.
This time Dika didn't ask anything, just waiting for Salin to tell his intention. You can't joke with a magician. Last time, Salin's message was forwarded to the leader of the thieves, who immediately gave up his plan to win over Salin.
"I have magic potions for sale." Salin did not beat around the bush.
"Okay, I'll take it." Dika agreed happily.
"I don't believe your leader. Is there any way to kill him?" Salin's second sentence frightened Dika.
"Salin, absolutely not, there are more than twenty of them." Dika was anxious.
"Last time you talked about the secret room, I went back and checked the book. This is an old industry habit. I think you all have to gather together on the last day of every week. I have a poison that will definitely kill you if you touch it. , I will give you a week to think about it, if you are willing to do it, you will be the leader of thieves in Ceylon City from now on."
Salin took his huge skin and left with a smile.
Can Dika refuse his own suggestion? If he refused, he would have to report Salin's words to the group leader. In that case, he might face the wrath of the magician.
As expected, Dika did not dare to reject Salin's suggestion. A month later, soldiers from the City Health Department discovered the body of the thief in the secret room. A total of twenty-four people died from the poison.
This was the first time Salin killed someone, not by himself, but by his poison.
The fake magic string potion formula is really easy to use, and anyone who succeeds will be killed instantly. Salin was also secretly frightened. He would have to beware of this kind of tactics in the future, otherwise his life would be in jeopardy if he was negligent.
After dealing with the foreign thieves, Dika quickly organized the local young thieves. Salin's magic potions had a stable market, and the gold coins increased day by day. In one year, Salin earned a total of three thousand gold coins.
There is not such a big local market in Ceylon City. Dika is very smart. Salin's potions are customized by him to meet the needs of thieves. Except for the part used by oneself, most of them are sold to other places. It only took him half a year to form a stable sales market. The nearby thieves' gangs knew that Ceylon City sold special medicines, and Dika also made some money from it.
After accumulating more than 5,000 gold coins, Salin's potion making skills also improved by leaps and bounds. His level has finally reached level 3 magic apprentice. He can cast 5 level 0 magics continuously, and has mastered 7 level 0 magics at the same time - reading, poison detection, acid splashing, flame burning, elemental fusion, Magic Alert, Magic Detection.
After recuperation, Salin's body has become much stronger. Although he still looks a little thin, in fact, he can already walk as fast as he can while carrying a skin bag weighing hundreds of kilograms. Every week, he would go into town to do some shopping, and Jason always kept that huge skin bag filled to the brim.
The plan is gradually approaching the final stage. Salin has gathered the materials for three magic string potions. Due to his shrewd businessman heritage, Salin did not spend all the gold coins. What if he succeeded in the first few times
In the first week of June, the weather is sultry and people's skin is always sweaty. When Salin turned fifteen, he decided to start making magic string potions. Salin was a little uneasy and even wanted to kneel down to pray, but unfortunately he had no faith.
Although the priests of the Holy See always say that temporary divine favor will not be biased, Salin does not believe this in his heart. It is easier for the Skochinians to become believers than to make the Qinyin people give up their pride.
Salin pulled his suitcase from under the bed and dug out the family crest. Most of the things his father left behind were sold, and only this was left with him.
The black metal badge is shield-shaped, palm-sized, and very thick. The dark green magic pattern represents that this family is unique. There was once a great magician who designed the emblem for this family. Anyone who imitates this kind of badge is tantamount to challenging the dignity of a magician.
Salin only understood this meaning after following Jason.
The badge is as thick as a thumb, and in the center is a deep lightning-shaped mark. This deep mark destroyed the integrity of the magic pattern, making it impossible for Salin to deduce who the magician was who originally designed the badge.
There once was a great magician who served the Metatrin family. What an honor it was!
"Father, please bless me to become a powerful magician." Salin stroked the badge and felt the uneven secret patterns on it. It was another set of magic patterns, which were also covered by the deep lightning-shaped pattern in the center of the badge. The traces were destroyed.
babble
Salin suddenly discovered that there was a flash of blue light in the lightning-shaped deep mark. He rubbed his eyes, but the blue color disappeared.
What is this? Could it be a magic mark? His family has declined so much that even if there was a magic mark in the first place, it would probably have disappeared long ago.
Salin felt a little worried. The more books he read, the more he understood how broad and profound the world of magic was. Similarly, this is also a world full of dangers. If you are not careful, you will be shattered and your body will be destroyed.
Saleen subconsciously cast a magic detection on the badge.
The hazy light covered the badge in Salin's hand, and time seemed to stop for an instant. Salin was horrified to find that his magic detection skills were suddenly interrupted, just like a man falling off a cliff. When he was halfway down, Suddenly it hovered there.
This pause probably didn't even last a frame. If Salin hadn't begun to master the instantaneous principle of magic and had a meticulous mental power, he wouldn't have been able to detect this pause.
Then the magical light that shrouded the badge was absorbed into the badge in a shorter period of time, and the power of the elements rushed toward the lightning-shaped deep mark in the center of the badge crazily. The elemental power mobilized by a level 0 magic was simply not enough to be absorbed in this way. Saleen felt that the hand holding the badge was as cold as snow, and the elemental power, mental power, and blood in his body were all drained away at this moment.
The building was empty, and Salin's body turned into an empty shell. His eyes lost their sparkle, the life was extinguished, and his heart stopped beating.
Salin felt like he was plunged into darkness, surrounded by nothingness, no color, no sound, no taste, nothing. All memories from birth to the age of fifteen seemed to have disappeared.
Is this death? The only thought left in Salin was the purest reaction of life when facing death.
Salin's body fell backwards and fell to the floor. In the center of the badge in his hand, in the lightning-shaped deep mark, blue light appeared again, and an undetectable electric light penetrated Salin's body and went straight to Salin's heart.
Salin's heart had stopped beating, but at this moment it was stimulated by the electric current and stimulated violent stimulation, and the blood was squeezed to the whole body by the violent compression force.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Salin's body came to life, his senses recovered at the same time, and the nothingness around him disappeared. Salin's body bounced violently from the floor, almost hitting the ceiling, and then fell heavily.
This fall caused blood to flow from his mouth and nose. The blood was purple and contained lumps.
Salin was in indescribable pain. When his body regained consciousness, all negative states befell his body. Weakness, pain, cold, burning…
These terrible feelings were repeated over and over again. Except for the initial bounce, Salin no longer had the strength to struggle. He couldn't even lift his fingers, his eyelids were tightly closed, and his spirit almost collapsed.
