Chapter 548 Magic Element Map and Magic Element Reaction
Healing potion is one of the magic potions with the greatest demand among civilians.
As a city, Camond City is not yet known its specific size.
But even in a small city like Hogan City, the demand for healing potions can reach more than three hundred bottles a day.
90% of these three hundred bottles are in the hands of the potion shop at the head, and the remaining 10% is circulated among scattered small pharmacies.
Leni's weak healing potion can drastically reduce the income of the three major potion stores by 50%, which means that the potions she sells every day must fill at least the 150 bottles originally belonging to the three major pharmacies.
Including the fragmented market that she has captured, the actual daily sales volume is probably close to two hundred bottles.
The problem is that preparing magic potions requires a lot of energy, time and mental energy.
The mental strength of a second-class mage apprentice is already weak.
Every time you prepare a bottle of magic potion, you need to concentrate on enchanting the materials, and you also need to observe the changes in the properties of the medicine during the preparation process. Otherwise, the slightest carelessness will lead to failure in preparing the magic potion.
Just an experienced first-level mage, with all his efforts in a day, the output cannot be compared to one-tenth of Leni Thorn's.
How can she, a second-class apprentice, achieve such output?
This is not common sense at all.
Leni finally understood what Gothe wanted to ask.
But for a moment she didn't know how to answer. She subconsciously tightened her clothes, her light brown eyes full of confusion.
She wanted to find a reason to fool her, but she couldn't find a suitable and justifiable reason for a while.
Tell the truth?
She was a little worried again.
· Gothe's [Perception Emotion+] was turned on throughout the whole process, so he immediately felt Leni's nervousness, hesitation, and
· embarrassment.
Perhaps my tone is too serious?
Gaode lowered his voice and spoke in an extremely soft tone: "I know, this must be a secret for you. It is very important. It is the knowledge and means to suppress the bottom of the box.
But don’t worry, Phoenix attaches great importance to intellectual property rights. We will reward you accordingly based on the value of the knowledge you provide and will not use your achievements in vain. "
Although Leni has never heard of the term "intellectual property rights", it is not a problem to roughly infer its meaning based on the semantics.
She waved her hands quickly, her face flushed slightly, and she explained with a bit of urgency in her voice: "Your Highness, I didn't mean that, because... Because my method is regarded as heresy by other potion masters, it insults the science of potion, and it cannot be put on the table. "This is also true. Except for civilians, mages don't look down on the potion I prepare at all. I'm afraid of you::::::
“Heresy? Can’t stand on the stage?” There was obvious surprise in Gothe’s tone, and he even raised his voice slightly, staring at Leni closely, as if he heard something incredible:
"It allows a second-class apprentice to achieve a magic potion output that even a first-level mage cannot achieve. If such an amazing method cannot be put on the stage, what else can be put on the stage?" "
Leni was a little embarrassed by the two people talking about her, and her heart began to relax, and the worries in her heart were disappearing.
She took a deep breath, as if she had finally made up her mind, turned around and walked quickly to the bed, lifted up the blanket at the end of the bed, and pulled out a parchment book tied with a thick hemp rope from under the quilt.
The cover of the book is yellowed and the corners are severely worn. It has obviously been read countless times.
She held the book and walked back to the stone table, handing it to Gothe with slightly trembling hands.
"This is my method...:"
Gothe looked at the parchment book in front of him.
The material of the parchment looks very rough. It is not a refined magic parchment, but is made of the most ordinary animal skin. There are still small traces of fluff on the surface.
The edges were frayed from years of reading, and there were even a few holes. They were simply mended with linen thread, and the stitches were crooked.
It's not like a "Burning Jue", it's more like an ancient book forgotten in the corner of the attic.
Gaode untied the thick hemp rope with some loose fiber on the book and opened the book... It can't be called a book, but a note or a draft would be more appropriate.
The handwriting on it is scattered and irregular. Some are written with charcoal pens, with thick and scrawled lines, like inspiration jotted down in a hurry; There were symbols similar to the "proportioning formula" painted on them, but they had been scrawled over and over again. Some of the lines were densely scratched, and eventually turned into a blur of black stains:
Several of the writings had long since faded, leaving only faint marks. It took a closer look to identify them, and then one could barely make out the names of magic plants such as "Silver Leaf Grass" and "Concentrating Flower".
In addition to words and symbols, there are also several simple drawings scattered on the paper.
The paintings are of various magic plants. Some only outline the general shape of the leaves, while others draw the roots and flowers in detail. The brushwork is immature but extremely serious. It is obvious that the artist specially painted it to remember the characteristics of the magic plants.
What is even more special is that Gaode quickly flipped through a few pages and found that many lines of text were marked with notes that were completely different from the original text font.
These notes are written in different shades of ink and have different font styles. They are obviously not written by the same person.
"There are at least three masters." Gothe quickly made a judgment.
The first term's handwriting is thick and sloppy; the second term's handwriting is thin and neat; the third term's handwriting is round and soft.
Gothe's eyes quickly swept over the notes. Although he was just looking at them casually, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.
When I turned to the last few pages, the style of the paper suddenly changed.
The font has become unified, and there are no more comments or comments from others.
This shows that the contents of these last few pages were all written by the last owner, that is, the current owner.
Or, to be more precise, it should be the work of Leni Jingteng.
Just these few pages of text made Gothe's breathing slow down instantly, and even his eyes became solemn.
He stopped turning the pages, gently pressed his fingertips on the paper, and read carefully word by word.
The above content is like the final summary and summary of the entire notebook:
[Under absolutely the same conditions, the same demonized materials are always fused in exactly the same way. 】
【Traditional potion science emphasizes the personal control of the potion master and believes that every potion preparation is a unique art. However, do the ripple changes in the properties of the medicine that seem to require the personal mental power of the potion master to adjust follow some underlying law that has not yet been discovered? Objective, repeatable, and verifiable underlying laws? 】
Each potion material has a variety of medicinal properties. The first step in formulating a potion is to magicize the material. The magicizing process seems to activate one or more of the required medicinal properties, but other properties contained in the material itself have not disappeared, but have been suppressed and interfered with the final potency to a certain extent. This has also led to the emergence of irreproducibility: that is, the same potion prepared by the same potion master at different times and in different moods with the same batch of materials has slight but detectable effects. 】
【Considering a potion material as a whole, can the various medicinal properties it exhibits be understood as the elements that make up this whole? 】
【Let’s call this imaginary element that makes up the potion material magic element. 】
All potion materials in the world are composed of limited types of basic magic elements, combined in different proportions and methods. 】
【For example, Snake Tooth Grass is a whole composed of seven kinds of magic elements, including poison magic element, life magic element, and earth magic element, according to a specific structure. Demonization is to use external forces to temporarily change the structure of the whole, so that the poison magic element becomes active and dominant. 】
【The preparation process of magic potion is a process in which magic elements come into contact and combine to form a new whole through human control. 】
【This means that as long as the specified magic elements are brought into contact in a precise proportion and sequence, the result will inevitably be the generation of the target magic potion, and the personal intervention process of magicization and preparation can be eliminated and replaced by a more stable and batch-operable process. 】
【This ratio and sequence are temporarily called the magic element reaction formula. 】
【And if we want to verify this theory, the most difficult and critical thing is how to verify and quantify it and establish a magic map? 】
A large number of theorems, corollaries and formulas are written neatly and densely on these pages of parchment, even the margins of the pages are filled.
At the end of the note, there is a complete formula:
Silverleaf Grass: [Life: 20/Water: 15]
Ningshenhua: [Net: 10/Liter Life: 5]
Pure water: [Water: 99]
Catalyst: [Moon Moss Extract]
【Silver Leaf Grass Powder: Healing 20/Water 15】+【Ningshen Flower Juice: Net 10/Health 5】+【Pure Water: Water 99】--(Moonlight Moss Extract Shake and Mix at Room Temperature for 10 Seconds)-->[Weak Potion of Healing: Compound Healing-Jing 30/ Carrier water 114】+【Residue: Raw 5】
What magic map, magic reaction formula? Don’t think I wouldn’t recognize you if you changed your name. Isn’t this the potion version of the periodic table of elements and chemical equations?
With Gothic's scientific literacy, he can tell at a glance that this last formula is the method used by Leni to prepare weak healing potions.
In the whole book, there is only one formula in the end.
This shows that although Leni's summary has a "systematic" idea, transforming vague "experience" into clear "values" and "steps", the "foundation" of this system is far from being firmly established.
This leads to the fact that even this weak healing potion is more like the product of a large amount of practical experience and luck, rather than a mature knowledge system that is truly replicable and promoteable.
But even so, it is already an amazing product that can be called "too awesome", and Gothe's heart can't help but beat wildly.
It has given a broad framework and ideas, and the weak healing potion proves the feasibility and correctness of this theory.
The rest just requires more time, more data, more manpower and methods to improve and make this rudimentary theory into a complete system.
Gaode Gaode suppressed the excitement in his heart, and handed the notebook to Sunaifa who was also curious next to him. He stared at Leni with wide eyes, her head lowered, as if waiting for some trial, "Those things on the last few pages are yours." Written? ! ”
“Yes...No...” Leni was startled by his sudden question. She nodded subconsciously, then shook her head quickly as if she remembered something, her light brown eyes full of panic.
"I just added a little bit of my own understanding based on the experience of Erwin-senpai and Leo-sensei, and then compiled and summarized it..."
"Senior Erwin is the original owner of the notebook, and Teacher Leo is the second one. They left a lot of scattered records, and I just connected them together."
"Senior Erwin, Leo, plus you, Leni Jingteng, there are exactly three kinds of handwriting on the notebook." Gothe reacted instantly.
The previous judgment of the "three masters" was confirmed, and his eyes became more intense, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.
"Where are the Erwin-senpai and Mr. Leo you mentioned now? Is there any way you can contact them? If possible, I would like to extend an invitation to them."
"They...:...they are long gone." Hearing this, Leni's head lowered even lower, with a bit of timidity in her voice, and a hint of imperceptible loss, and she shook her head slightly.
"No more?" Gao De's voice suddenly paused, and there was a bit of surprise and regret in his eyes.
"Senior Erwin is the first owner of this notebook, but even Teacher Leo doesn't know when he was born or where he came from.:."
"Teacher Leo found this notebook among a pile of ancient books that had been laid aside for a long time in the library at home. It is estimated that it has been there for at least several decades and has not been touched, and only Erwin's name is left on it. "Teacher Leo said that he tried to search for the origin of this Erwin, but found nothing."
"It is very likely that this senior Erwin is just like him, just an ordinary person with no name, no prominent family background, no strong strength, and even very few traces to prove his existence."
"This volume of notes may be the only legacy he left in this world."
Gothe was silent for a while. After Sunaifa also quickly read through the book, with the same shock and solemn expression in his eyes, he calmed down. He slowly said: "Leni, can you tell me about this notebook, Leo, and you?"
Perhaps these things have been hidden in Leni's heart for a long time, and she has long wanted to talk to others, or maybe Gothe finally pointed out the talents of intimacy and labor.
This time, under Gothe's questioning, although Leni was still timid, she finally no longer remained silent.
Hence, this volume of notes and the stories of its three owners, which had most likely been silently submerged in the waves of time, were finally presented to the world in full for the first but by no means the last time.
The first people who were lucky enough to know their stories were Gothe and Sunaifa.
The first owner of the notebook was Erwin.
It is a pity that apart from his name and a few pages of some scrawled and crazy conjectures, he left no other story about himself.
笔记的最前面两页，是埃尔文如日记一般的提问，有的字写得特别用力，纸都被划破了：
「没有法师天赋，成不了强大的法师，但就成不了Are you a great potion master? "
h "Really??"
h "One of the three principles of a mage: spells are omnipotent."
h "And magic is a kind of magic created by people."
"Is there a technique that can allow a weak mage to become a great potion master and discover the secrets of potions?"
"I want to find that "skill""! "
6"
"This kind of magic shouldn't exist, maybe it's just my wishful thinking..."
"No, it must exist, Erwin, you can't give up!"
Lines of text are like Erwin's cry across time and space, with unwillingness, anger, and doubts about "orthodox potion science".
From these few words, it is not difficult to outline his image: a man with mediocre mage talent but a passion for potions and a stubborn man.
After two pages of diary, I don’t know what happened to Erwin. Suddenly the third page is no longer a "diary", but formal research and recording begins.:::::
