Three months later, after Dumb's unremitting efforts, he finally memorized all the labels and the names of all the fruits in the fruit forest. Although he memorizes slowly, once he fully remembers something, it is hard to forget. No matter which label name Corlis said, he could find the corresponding drawer immediately.
"Okay, starting today, you will officially become my apprentice and assist me in my experiments." Corris said lightly.
"Yes, teacher." In the past three months, Corris's attitude towards Ah-Dai has always been lukewarm. All the housework is done by Ah-Dai. Apart from meditating at night, Corris spends all his time in the laboratory. in the room.
Corris stared at the small tripod in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "A small piece of saltpeter, one or two silver ingots, and three coins for Tianfeng, hurry up."
"Yes, teacher." Duan quickly handed him the things Corris needed. Corliss put these items into the small tripod, and then said: "One tael of red cotton, one pot of clear water, hurry up."
After taking the things from Ah-Dai and putting them all into the cauldron, Corris glanced at Ah-Dai and said, "Use your flame technique to warm up under the tripod. You can't stop without my order."
"Yes, teacher, the fire element that fills the world! Please grant me the power to burn. In my name and with your power, let me appear, a scorching flame." With a puff, a red and slightly blue flame Appearing in Dumb's hand, he carefully stretched his hand under the tripod, concentrating on controlling the size of the flame.
Seeing the blue eyes of fire, Corris couldn't help being taken aback. The flames released by Dumb had already reached the level of a junior magician, and it was only three months. He never thought that this stupid kid would have magical power. It grew so fast.
What's more, Corris was still behind in surprise. Originally, he thought that it would be good if Duan could last for ten minutes. But after twenty minutes passed, the water in the cauldron was almost boiled dry, and only fine sweat oozes from Ah-Dai's forehead. Corris did not expect him to support him for so long. Murderous intent flashed in Corris' eyes again. He thought to himself, if he really taught this kid well, maybe within ten years, he would be able to reach or even surpass himself. What is the current level
"Okay, you put out the flame, go and fetch some more water, and then a couple of crystal powders."
"Yes, teacher." Only then did Ah-Dai heave a sigh of relief. Using the flame technique for a long time made him feel dizzy. Of course, he didn't understand that this was the reason for the excessive consumption of mana. Persisting for twenty minutes is already his current limit. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he hurriedly brought what Corlis wanted to his side.
The black flame in Corris' hand has replaced Duan's flame spell just now, and several items in the cauldron have completely melted into a paste, which is light green in color. Corris grabbed a handful of crystal powder from the container in Ah-Dai's hand, and evenly sprinkled it on the small cauldron in front of him. With a chirping sound, a green flame shot up into the sky, and the flame was extinguished in a flash, and a faint fragrance wafted away. in the air.
Having been with Corris for three months, Dumb would no longer be surprised by these abnormal sights, and just watched from the sidelines honestly. The cauldron condensed into a ball of green solid, Corlis frowned, and sighed: "It still doesn't work, it seems that there is no way to make it without the saffron."
The lavender grass dumb knows that there is such a drawer on the cabinet, but the light blue grass in it has been exhausted.
Corris covered the small cauldron, turned his head and said to Dumb: "Dumb, I may have to leave for a while and come back to find some lavender. The lavender is only available in the Huasheng Empire. It's really troublesome. During the time I'm away, you Take a good look at the house here, understand?"
Hearing that Corris was leaving, Duan suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, and asked, "Teacher, how long are you going?"
Corris said: "If it is fast, it will be more than a month, if it is slow, it may take two months. When you are hungry, eat the fruits in the forest, and when you are thirsty, drink the mountain spring water behind the house. Remember, you must not go into the hallucinations." The forest is too deep, otherwise, if you get lost, you will starve to death inside, understand?"
Dumb nodded, and said, "Teacher, come back quickly."
Corris's heart warmed up. In the past three months, no matter how he treated Dumb, he was happy, and he would do any errands immediately. Later, sometimes he would know what he wanted as long as he stretched out his hand. Where can I find a well-behaved apprentice! However, for the final experiment, he had to... Corris shook his head vigorously, shaking his kind thoughts out of his body, and said coldly: "Okay, go and meditate, I will leave early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, teacher." The continuous use of the flame technique for a long time just now really made Ah-Dai feel very tired, so he walked back to the room to meditate alone.
Early the next morning, Corlis packed his simple luggage and was ready to set off.
"Dai, don't forget what I told you yesterday, by the way, this is for you." Corris took out a book that wasn't too thick and handed it to Dumb.
Duan was taken aback, and said, "Teacher, what is this?"
Corris looked at him with complicated eyes, and said: "This is my experiment notebook, which is divided into three parts, namely the method of refining medicine, the method of distinguishing poison, and the method of refining weapons. When you are bored, You can see that the words above are basically the names of the tags, and you can understand most of the related simple words. However, you have to remember that reading is reading, and you must never go to the laboratory to experiment , Do you understand? How much you can understand depends on your own good fortune."
Duan held the book made of leather, his eye circles turned red, he never thought that he would be able to read a book one day, and said sincerely: "Thank you, teacher, you must go and come back quickly, Dumb will Miss you."
Corris was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and said in a cold voice, "I don't need you to think about what you want or not. You should memorize your studies well. I'm going to test you when I come back. Do you know?" After finishing speaking, he left without looking back. .
Dumb hugged the book tightly in his arms, tears streaming down his cheeks, and in his heart, there was another person who was more important than Mantou.
After Corris left, in order not to disappoint his teacher, Dumb memorized the contents of his notes every day except for meditation and eating. The words used by Corris in the notes are very easy to understand, coupled with such a long time of getting along, Dui can basically understand the meaning of what is said in it, the more he reads, the more he is attracted by the magic in it. However, he was a very obedient child, no matter how curious he was, he never went into the laboratory to try.
One day, he got up early in the morning and briefly read the notes. Corris had been away for more than a month, and Duan's unremitting efforts for more than a month finally paid off. Keep it in your mind. When he read to the end, he found that the last page of the note seemed to be torn off. He didn't think much about it, thinking that Corlis tore it up because he was afraid that the content was too profound for him to understand.
Re-memorizing the content of the notes, Dumb walked into the fruit forest, ready to pick his three meals for the day. As soon as he entered the fruit forest, he suddenly smelled an unusually strong aroma, and discerning the direction of the aroma, he left involuntarily. In the past, he was very familiar with this fruit forest, even with his eyes closed, he could walk out.
The aroma came from the depths of the fruit forest, and the strong smell constantly stimulated Dumb's sense of smell. smell good! I don't know what it is.
Finally, through constant exploration, Ah-Dai finally found the source of the aroma. It was a small fiery red tree. This small tree did not exist before, and it seemed to have grown overnight. The small tree has no leaves, and the fiery red trunk is crystal clear. At the top of it, there is a milky white fruit. Under the fruit's skin, there seems to be light shining continuously. The bursts of aroma came out from the fruit. Dumb squatted down, looked at the fruit in front of him carefully, and recalled the plants in the refining medicine chapter in the notes, but until he completely recalled the whole refining medicine chapter Again, but still haven't found a definite answer.
What kind of fruit is this? It smells so good! Dumb carefully touched the fruit with his fingers, and the milky white fruit suddenly fell off the small tree under his touch. Dumb was startled, and subconsciously took the fruit in his hand. A warm feeling came out from the fruit, and the fresh smell became more intense. After the fruit fell off, the small red tree withered gradually. In just a few seconds, the small red tree had completely shrunk into the ground.
Although he didn't know what it was, the hunger in the early morning made Duan eat a lot. He held the fruit in front of him and looked at it carefully. Such a fragrant fruit can never be poisonous. Thinking of this, Ah-Dai couldn't bear the hunger in his belly anymore, and bit the fruit, a stream of cool juice immediately flowed into his mouth. The juice had no taste, and Ah-Dai swallowed it subconsciously. The cold feeling goes straight to the heart, so comfortable! Three bites and two bites, a white fruit has been killed by him.
Duan just wanted to get up and return to the wooden house, when suddenly, a cold current surged from his lower abdomen, and the cold current expanded rapidly, filling his meridians in an instant. Cold, so cold, Ah-Dai was trembling constantly, the cold current generated from his body made him unable to stand up anymore, and he fell to the ground with a plop. The cold current continuously stimulated Ah-Dai's nerves as if freezing into the bone marrow. Dumb thought to himself, it's over, it's over, for the sake of a momentary appetite, it seems that he will be frozen to death.
A layer of frost gradually formed on Ah-Dai's skin, and everything in front of him gradually became blurred. Suddenly, in the blur, he seemed to find a red light shining continuously in the place where the small red tree withered just now. He was trembling all over, and grabbed a soft red fruit unintentionally, and the hot feeling spread from the fruit to Dumb's palm, and Dumb's frozen palm suddenly became more flexible. Regardless of whether the fruit is non-toxic, he stuffed the red fruit into his mouth while his body was still moving.
The scalding heat flowed down his throat, rushing into the lungs of his body in an instant, and the previous coldness was relieved a lot.
Dumb breathed a sigh of relief just now, when suddenly there was a severe colic in his abdomen, and the two streams of air, one cold and one hot, suddenly divided into two factions with clear barriers, constantly entangled and attacked in his internal organs, as if to tear everything apart.
"Ah—" Dumb rolled on the ground in pain, moaning in pain. However, in this endless psychedelic forest, who will come to rescue him? Cold sweat was pouring down, Dumb's face turned red and turned white, and his body convulsed continuously under the ravages of hot and cold air currents. In fact, what he didn't know was that if he hadn't had the Jiuzhuan Yisui Pill that Corlis hadn't given him back then, with his dilapidated body, he would have been killed by this powerful energy breaking through his meridians.
Even if Corris saw the two fruits that Dumb ate, he would not be able to recognize them. With Corris' prudence, he would never eat an unfamiliar fruit casually. These two fruits were conceived by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and it will take tens of thousands of years to mature. They are called the fruits of rebirth. This kind of fruit must be eaten together, red and white, to exert its maximum effect, but its medicinal power is also very overbearing. Once the medicinal power contained in it is completely absorbed, the vitality of the person who eats them will continue to expand , vitality will become endless, and it is a treasure in the eyes of the priests of the Holy See. The biggest advantage of the rebirth fruit is that it can make the body produce a kind of life energy, which can weaken the damage caused by any dark energy.
In the long-term entanglement of the two energies, fine blood beads gradually ooze from Ah-Dai's skin, and he has suffered severe pain for a long time, so that Ah-Dai can't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, which sprays on the plants beside him. One side withered in an instant, while the other was covered with frost.
Until the night filled the air, the two energies in Ah-Dai's body finally merged into one, turning into a warm air flow and starting to run continuously.
Ah-Dai let out a long breath, the clothes on his body had already been completely soaked in sweat, but the feeling of being extremely calm made his whole body go limp, and he was surprised to find that his skin was emitting a faint white light. There is a warm and comfortable feeling in the place where the warm air passes. He was lying on the ground looking up at the sky, his mind was unusually clear, and the notes he had recited before kept flashing by. Dumb thought to himself, it's finally over, am I not dead yet? I will never eat anything indiscriminately again.
