Chapter 61: Three essential skills for a mage to survive in the wild
"It has been too long since Bremen has had no earth veins, so everyone has lost their vigilance, developed a psychological blind spot, and did not think about it at all," Pierre lamented.
"It takes a while for the formation of earth veins, and the enrichment of magic power and the increase of earth vein creatures are one of the precursors of the formation of earth veins."
"Of course, perhaps as most people think now, these abnormalities are only caused by high-level magic plants attracting earth vein creatures, and everything is just me. Sensitive and suspicious."
Pierre said seriously: "It's just that at my age, I don't dare to gamble. It will be too late to leave after the earth veins are completely formed."
· "In addition, if the strange disappearance of people in the city is not solved, no one knows that something strange will happen to them one day."
"It's nothing to be worried about every day."
There is no way to guard against a thief for a thousand days.
Gothe's mind was racing, and he nodded at the same time: "I will."
"Let's not talk about it for now, why did you come to me today?" Pierre waved his hand and asked.
Gothe tightened the package on his back and said honestly: "Originally, I wanted to send you another batch of potions, but looking at your current situation, it is not suitable."
Obviously, Pierre was busy clearing out the goods and there was no reason to restock.
"Haha, you've only shipped goods here, why not take a look at the goods in my store today," Pierre said with a smile: "The prices of items in the store are basically cost prices or even sold at a loss. It's a good deal."
After Gaode glanced at the goods in the store, Shaking his head and apologizing, "I don't need anything for the moment." Pierre thought for a moment, then suddenly approached Gothe and asked in a low voice:
"What about the spell formula?"
"Huh?!" Gothe was surprised.
Pierre had already Shiran and sat down on the chair behind the counter, and said slowly: "I wonder if you have heard of the "Three Essential Methods for a Mage to Survive in the Wild". "
"Three essential methods for survival in the wild? What are these?"
Obviously, Gaode has not heard of it.
If you have not received a systematic mage education, you are short-sighted.
"Refers to the three magic tricks of [Making Water], [Directing North] and [Purifying Food]."
"When I was young and still struggling, these three spells were hard to come by." Speaking of this, the little old man showed a nostalgic look, remembering the time when he was young.
"You hunted earth-line creatures when you were young?!" Gothe was surprised, unable to see that the lazy old man in front of him was so "hot-blooded" when he was young.
It is no wonder that Pierre, as an ordinary grocery store owner, knows so many things.
It turns out that I was a "hero" when I was young.
"Of course, any aspiring mage, unless he comes from a noble family, is not allowed to risk his life to make money?" Pierre said matter-of-factly.
"You should know how much money is consumed by mage practice."
"Only by hunting earth-line creatures and picking magic plants can we earn enough resources for practice. The money earned through ordinary methods is simply not enough for practice."
Gao De nodded with deep sympathy.
Disregarding the "BOSS" of Master Seda, his start is already better than many others - starting with a medicine garden.
With such a stable industry as the medicine garden, he is only a first-class apprentice.
Even so, he often sighed "It's not easy to live" in front of the resources needed for practice.
It is easy to imagine what a luxurious "profession" a mage is.
"At that time, in order to make some money, I often drilled into the virgin forest for more than half a month."
"It is impossible to survive in the primeval forest for such a long time without the help of magic."
As he spoke, Pierre looked outside the store several times to make sure there was no one there before opening the drawer on the counter.
There are three booklets inside.
It is exactly three spell recipes.
Obviously, Pierre had been prepared and was waiting for Gauthe to come.
"You should take a look at it first, and we will talk about the rest later."
Gothe quickly took the three spell recipes and browsed them:
【Water Creation Technique】(conjuration system, level 0):
This spell will create two gallons (can be increased with the level of the mage) of hygienic drinking water, just like clean rainwater.
You can create water into an area of a suitable size that can hold the liquid, or an area three times that size - the water may fall like rain, or fill many smaller containers.
If the water is not consumed, it will disappear after 1 day.
NOTE: Each gallon (approximately 4.8 liters) of water weighs approximately 8 pounds. One cubic foot holds 8 gallons of water and weighs approximately 60 pounds.
【North Pointing Spell】(Prophecy, Level 0):
When you cast this spell, you will immediately know which direction is north from your location.
This spell only allows you to know the position of north at the moment you cast it. If you do not use a reference object to maintain a certain direction, you may lose your way again.
【Purified Food】(change system, 0 ring):
This spell can purify 1 cubic foot (can be increased as the wizard levels up) of spoiled, rancid, plagued, poisonous, or otherwise contaminated food and water into an edible and drinkable state.
This spell does not prevent subsequent natural decay or deterioration.
Evil water and similar foods and drinks become ineffective when treated with purifying food, but this spell has no effect on any type of creature or magical potion.
Putting down the spell formula, Gaode finally understood why these three spells were called "three essential skills for a mage to survive in the wild."
Survival is nothing more than four points.
Food, drink, housing and transportation.
These three spells correspond to three of them: eating, drinking, and walking.
[Water Making Technique] ensures drinking water, [North Pointing Technique] ensures that he will not get lost in the primitive forest with complex environment, and [Purifying Food] ensures food to a certain extent.
"How to sell it?" Gothe grabbed the spell formula in his hand and asked.
With three such practical spells in front of you, how can you not be tempted?
"Did I tell you that privately trading spell formulas is officially prohibited, but I don't do anything prohibited."
Pierre's answer was beyond Goude's expectation.
In his opinion, Pierre's inquiry was meant to sell him the magic formula.
After all, the reason why Pierre refused to trade spell formulas privately with him was because his shop was opened here.
If he is reported for trading spell formulas, his shop will have to be sealed. Compared with the benefits that can be obtained, this risk is too great.
But now, Pierre's Grocery Store is preparing to close down, so he should no longer have such scruples.
What's more, they have already taken out the spell formula, obviously waiting for him, so why not sell it?
You can’t be playing tricks on him, right?
Before Gothe could figure it out, Pierre was already laughing:
"So, I will give these three spell recipes to you directly!"
