The Divine Hunter Chapter 17: Spell Book
The witcher carefully bypassed the patrolling guards near Foltest Castle and successfully sneaked into the villa of royal advisor Azar Javid.
The owner of the villa has died in his own hands, so there is no need to worry about destroying the magic mechanism and triggering the alarm.
In addition, according to Kalkstein's description, this mage from Zerikan, who graduated from Ban Ader, has never joined the Warlock Association, is alienated from the Northern Warlock Organization, and has no close magician friends. There will be no worries about your inheritance.
The witcher ran wild and ransacked, not only the laboratory, but also all the rooms in the villa.
Occasionally, he discovered a pile of fragmented human bones under the floor of a certain bedroom, about the size of a dozen people.
The surface of the bones is covered with traces of being corroded by strange chemicals. You can imagine how much pain the owner of the bones endured when he was alive.
Roy silently collected all the remains and prepared to take them outside the city to be laid to rest.
"I didn't expect that at this point in time, Azar Javed would have started human experiments. He is really a cruel guy."
In fact, although the warlocks have powerful power and long lives, they have to abide by certain iron laws. This is the fundamental principle for the northern warlocks to settle down in the human kingdom - they must not coerce ordinary people to carry out Horrible human experiments (mostly black magic experiments).
Unless the experiment is disclosed within the organization, the process is safe, and the experimenter is voluntary.
Any violation found will be punished fairly and equally—often by being locked away in Demogold shackles for centuries.
Obviously, this Zerikan warlock did not follow the Romans and abide by the iron laws of warlocks, but he was so concealed that no one was aware of it.
According to the original history, he could live for more than ten years, until he became the backbone of the Salamander Gang, crazily using living people to conduct witcher mutation experiments.
"Killing this guy early will save the lives of hundreds of innocent people."
The fundamental reason why Aza Javed will die is that Roy's words to Yada caused the princess of Vizima to contact the Lady of the Lake, and then a series of events that deviated from history occurred.
The situation in Vizima has also undergone tremendous changes due to his intervention.
"Aza is dead, will the Salamander Gang appear in the future? Without the Salamander Gang, wouldn't I have indirectly done Kaer Morhen a favor?"
"So, do the Wolf School and Geralt owe me a favor?"
The outcome of this search was somewhat beyond the demon hunter's expectation. In his opinion, most warlocks can accumulate considerable wealth by virtue of their longevity and alchemical magic, which allows them to enjoy a luxurious life on the one hand. On the other hand, it allows them to afford expensive experiments and spellcasting materials.
Aza's current identity is still Foltest's royal advisor, with a generous salary.
Logically speaking, he has to save a huge amount of money, right?
However, no matter how deep Roy dug, he could only find a small bag of coins and sapphires, with a total value of less than two hundred crowns.
"Miscalculation, Aza must have put valuables into the portable space equipment, and now the body has been taken back by the White Rose Knight."
After suffering a secret loss, the demon hunter became so heartbroken that he simply packed away the rhinoceros head specimens in the laboratory and some of the strange-shaped organs in the glass bottles.
Some he could identify: the White Widow, and the mutated protein of the Andraeger male, a rare spellcasting material.
There is also a crab spider mutation inducer, which is equivalent to the ordinary level and meets the mutations required to improve the profession (2/10).
In terms of information, in addition to Aza's research notes from the past few decades, the demon hunter also found an old cowhide manuscript in the secret room with profound ancient language written on the cover.
"Gulu..." The little boy who was sleeping soundly on his shoulder called softly and stretched out his finger webs towards the book.
"Can you understand, Gorfen?"
"Gu...lu...lu..." It stuffed its pink fingers into its mouth.
"This is not food. Please bear with it for now and I will get you some dried fish when we go out. Remember that you are a proud griffin, and deformation is not a reason for you to act coquettishly!"
"Then become a dog, will you..."
The witcher caressed the fish head and opened the book page, "gwenalzurray... Azulie's Thunder." The first half of the book records in detail the legendary spells Aza used on Black Tern Island in ancient languages. The other half describes another spell of the same level—Azulie's Double Cross.
Roy knew little about magic, but he could figure out the general content with his good ancient language. This is a terrifying summoning magic that can create huge magical creatures when fully released.
This spell also comes from the famous mage and one of the co-creators of the Witcher, Azuri.
There is such a history behind the spell: Azulie used double crosses to summon a huge centipede. This terrifying beast quickly destroyed half of Maribo, and there are still ruins and ruins there.
The power of the forbidden spell can be imagined, but part of the manuscript is missing. Fortunately, otherwise Aza would use more than just lightning and thunder to attack them.
The witcher put the spell book away in a precious place, and after thinking about it, he decided to share it with Kalkstein. Who knows if this guy is monitoring him and may cooperate with him in the future.
"Witcher, I'm surprised that you didn't steal the spell book..." The alchemist grinned and subconsciously stroked his neck, until he found a piece of air and not a single bit of his goatee was left. "You Your honesty has won my trust!"
The alchemist shook hands with the witcher and suddenly straightened his back, "I feel rejuvenated, so I decided to teach you something extra."
"There are three alchemy formulas, which are considered as rewards for your honesty."
This was an unexpected surprise, Roy asked again,
"Master Alchemist, those materials...can you give me a copy first?"
"Why would a witcher be interested in these magic research materials if he cannot master magic? Please give your reasons. Ordinary information aside, this spell book..." The alchemist's face was rarely serious, "If it spreads, it will Leading to disaster."
"Don't worry, I'm going to give the spell book to a warlock friend of mine," the demon hunter's eyes softened, which was considered an investment, "A member of the warlock brotherhood will not abuse his power."
Kalkestan stared at him hard for a few times, handed over the copy, and began to teach the witcher the three potion formulas step by step in his laboratory.
Kalkistan's laboratory is more spacious and brighter than Aza's laboratory, with more strange things. There are also many dried herbs, ground saltpeter and sulfur. This is the alchemist's old laboratory. This bank.
Gulfen, who was still in the form of a fish-man, was placed on the table to enjoy a feast of fresh fish. A black cat accompanied him, named Sandro, who was Kalkistan's pet.
Cats in this world are very sensitive to magical energy and usually get close to warlocks who possess magical powers, so many warlocks like them
Get one.
"Witcher, we have become friends. I will call you Roy from now on, and you will call me Carl."
"Hmm..." Roy imitated the alchemist and put on his leather gloves. He couldn't help but glance to the side. The black cat Sandro was raising his head proudly like a king. With his beard trembling, he put on a black cat. The lacquered fleshy claws pressed against the slimy head of the Gorphin, but the Gorphin ignored it and continued to immerse himself in fighting with the small fish.
"You said that you have mastered five alchemical formulas: calendula potion, paralysis poison, swallow, Patri's potion, and thunder. You can be considered to have a certain foundation in pharmacy. But I still need to check your truth. Level. You can choose any recipe you have mastered and use ready-made materials and equipment to prepare it."
The alchemist had a straight face and had the demeanor of a strict master.
"Now?"
"Any questions?"
Roy chose the most conventional calendula medicine, which can stop bleeding and prevent infection. ”
For quite some time, he focused on honing his combat skills and neglected to practice in potion configuration.
But as soon as his hands touched the medicinal materials and equipment on the test bench, countless pictures suddenly emerged in his mind. Those were the steps he used to prepare medicines. They were as clear as a projector, showing all the details frame by frame.
"Marigolds and nettles, take a portion each and crush it..."
"Add a quarter of the distilled water, pour in one ounce of treated nettles, two ounces of marigolds, and mix well."
"Heat for five minutes, the color will change until... there is no obvious pungent smell."
The witcher's fingers are nimble, his wrist is steady, he can twist the herbs, control the heat, and calculate the heating time just right. ~IndoMTL.com~ It seems as if it has been practiced countless times, every movement is deeply rooted in the bone marrow and engraved into the instinct.
This is a side effect of the template. As long as he masters it and solidifies it into a skill, it will not degrade even after tens or hundreds of years.
Two hours later, with a slight sweat on his forehead, the demon hunter handed a test tube containing two-thirds of the medicinal solution to the alchemist. Kalkstein opened the cork and took a sniff. "The smell, color, and weight are not just qualified products, they are already considered high-quality products."
The alchemist praised, "Roy, I have to say that you have a certain talent in alchemy, the only difference is your experience."
The Witcher's scalpel-like precise, efficient and smooth movements left a deep impression on him.
"My teacher Leisuo teaches well."
"If you hadn't become a demon hunter a few years ago, I would consider accepting you as a student..." The alchemist shook his head and said, "That's it for now."
"Next, I plan to teach you a potion formula every two to three days. Today is a meditation potion." The alchemist said, "Between ordinary potions and magic potions, meditation for witchers and mages. It has a certain supplementary effect...it can probably increase efficiency by 20%."
"Meow——"
A strange meow interrupted the conversation, and the two looked away.
I don’t know when Sandro was lying on his hands and knees on the table, and Gorfin was lying on Sandro’s nose like an octopus, pulling the beard around Sandro’s mouth, his dark and bright eyes unblinking. The ground stared at it, motionless.
"Gulu..."
"Meow...meow..."
Two animals, one big and one small, seem to be having some kind of secret communication.
"Sandru smelled the magical energy of the half-murlocs and expressed his closeness. Ignore them and continue the alchemy class."
