Chapter 10 Good health can be a mage
Although Ethan did not understand Isandra's words, he worked hard for a long time, and the sky was getting darker and his vision began to be affected. He was preparing to return to the camp.
So even though the two did not communicate smoothly, Ethan still brought Ethan Ra to Roger Camp.
The wooden walls and Roger, who was scattered in various key patrols and guards, told Esan Ra that this was not the town she wanted to look for. However, through the contact just now, she realized that she and Esan couldn't communicate smoothly, so she also resisted the questions in her heart and followed quietly.
"I'm glad to see you return safely."
Roger, who was standing guard at the door, greeted Ethan after seeing Ethan, then stopped Ethan Ra and asked about his purpose.
"I am a mage from the East and have been traveling around recently. During this period, I have noticed that the dark power in this area is getting stronger and stronger, so I came to investigate."
"Hello, dear Master, welcome to Roger Camp. I think Lord Kasha can give you a satisfactory answer to your questions."
Then he said hello to his colleague who was standing guard, and took Isandra to find Kasha.
Ethan did not go with him. He went straight to Akara with the collected herbs. He was not very interested in the next conversation between the "protagonist" of this world and Kasha, not to mention that he couldn't understand it.
Now he wants to hand over the herbs to Akara in exchange for his own reward, he wants to see if he can learn the skills of Akara making potions.
Don’t ask to learn it immediately, as long as you can write down the knowledge and practice it slowly.
He didn't expect this, and when he was collecting herbs and fighting zombies, he realized that in that world full of oceans, he could not guarantee that he would not get sick or even be injured. It was necessary to properly learn some unexpected methods without a partner.
After counting the herbs, Akara handed over the prepared food, water and some of the gold coins to Ethan, and nodded when she learned that Ethan wanted to help make magic potion.
"The erosion of dark power is getting worse and worse, and these herbs inevitably contain increasingly stronger and stronger dark energy. These energy must be eliminated before making herbs, which requires a lot of my energy to waste." Akara also seemed helpless about the increasingly bad situation: "So, I do need someone to help. Unfortunately, the nuns of the blind eye are very busy and cannot send people to do these trivial tasks at all."
"If you are willing to help me with those trivial matters, I can teach you the knowledge of magic potion production..." Akara thought for a while: "As for healing spells, you may not be able to learn this."
Ethan simply asked and realized that the mainstream spells used in the blind eye are based on pious beliefs. Compared to the spells that many mages use various energy to achieve their own goals, the healing techniques they use are closer to the magic technique that borrows power from gods.
"So that's how it is."
Fortunately, Ethan was not a greedy person at all, and he was already very happy to learn the knowledge of making magic potions. The pain is that before learning to make potions, he needed to memorize a whole large-scale introductory book on basic herbal medicine.
According to Akara, he must first learn to distinguish the types of herbs and the different medicinal properties contained in it before he can start to learn how to reasonably use these herbs to make magic potions with various effects.
With the introductory book given by Akara, Ethan returned to his tent depressedly. He really didn't know what kind of book was useful to him?
"Can the Dark World herbs still spread across all planes?"
The only thing he is looking forward to now is that the herbs recorded in this book are more ‘versatile’ and can be found in more places. Otherwise, if he memorizes them himself, it will be useless after leaving this world.
“Huh?”
When he opened the book, he realized that he was wrong.
This book is about herbal medicine learned from Akara. The herbal identification and classification methods recorded above are not the kind you think - fixed herb shape, fixed color and even fixed medicinal properties.
It is an introductory book about how to directly use mental power to distinguish the "energy characteristics" contained in the herb itself. His way of classifying herbs is also based on the energy properties contained in the herbs. From the beginning, what he taught was how to use mental power to distinguish what kind of role a herb can play and what kind of medicine is suitable for making.
There is no fixed introduction to appearance and color. According to the classification method in the book, as long as it contains hemostasis, stimulating wound recovery and other effects, it can be used as the main medicine for making red medicine. Even two herbs with very different appearances, but because the same characteristics can be extracted and made into the same medicine, they are all divided into the same category in this book.
"So that's how it is!"
This book is actually an introduction to herbal medicine that is only suitable for mages. It directly points to the essence of potion - extracting traits from plants to amplify their effects and accelerate their time of action. Therefore, it does not exist after leaving the dark world, this book becomes completely useless.
It can even be said that the ability to make magic potions is much more important than Ethan thought.
After realizing the great value of this book, Ethan changed his state of not being able to raise any interest before and kept judging the book all night. When he came to his senses, Akara sent a nun to call him to help. Only then did he realize that the sky was already bright.
"I don't feel tired at all!"
Apart from sitting all night, his body was a little stiff and uncomfortable, Ethan felt that his spirit was not at all depressed, which was simply unimaginable in his previous life. Even when he was in the best condition, he worked hard for a day and then all night, and he would be so tired.
"Is this the reason for the improvement of mental power?"
Mental power comes from both the body and the soul, and the strength of both levels is indispensable.
Ethan's body is still developing at a high speed, and there is no hidden worries. Although it is not strong, it is also above the passing line.
Mental power was originally considered ordinary, but because of the time and space pointer, he practiced control of his own mental power for several years and had a very good basic training.
In addition to the possession and traveling through time, in addition to the mental power carried by his own soul, there are also spiritual remnants of the original owner in this body. Originally, these mental powers would slowly dissipate with the passage of time, but Ethan obtained a method to exercise his mental power in time. After practicing for a period of time, he began to automatically absorb all the energy in his body that can improve his mental power, so he naturally entered a period of rapid improvement.
The improvement of mental power will in turn stimulate the improvement of physical fitness - this improvement is actually very small, and it can only be simply understood as powerful mental power will stimulate the body cells to become more active, making Ethan's development faster and better recovery. This change was originally not eye-catching, and if you want earth-shaking changes in a short period of time, you need more profound and powerful magic.
However, Ethan himself is in a stage of rapid development, and he suddenly absorbed a lot of mental remnants, which made him have undergone a relatively obvious change.
"That's how the mage looks, it's not crispy!"
Think about it, all the mages in the Marvel World are melee madmen, and they can play with pancakes at one hand.
The white-bearded old man with a long sword and a magical staff in the world of the Rings is the benchmark for melee mages.
It is said that even the famous magician in King Arthur's legend is actually a melee madman, and he prefers to use holy swords to chop people over with his own sacred swords than to use magic.
But Ethan has played and watched many games and novels before, and always describes the mage as very weak, as if the body is their biggest shortcoming, but in fact, it is impossible to think about it carefully.
In many adventure stories, the mages follow their teammates for a long distance, crossing mountains and rivers like walking on flat ground. You let a weak person walk for a month to see? What's more, the mages will enter a state of combat at any time and fight against the enemy.
I can't walk for a day. After finally seeing the enemy, the mage was so tired that he couldn't get up, right? I really couldn't look at that scene.
Even if this is not mentioned, the mages often stay in their labs for a long time, just to conduct various experiments. If they are not in good health, they will die suddenly - at least Ethan has never seen a mage who died suddenly in a story. At most, they did an uncontrollable accident and killed themselves.
"So, an excellent mage must have a body like steel and iron? Or is a good body the foundation for becoming a mage?"
Ethan walked out of the tent and was doing simple activities while thinking about it. When she turned her head and moved her neck, she saw an acquaintance walking out of the tent not far away. It was the female mage Isandra whom I met yesterday. It seemed that she had received the approval of Kasha and also lived in the camp.
Isandra also saw him and walked over with a staff.
"Hello Ethan, thank you for giving me the way yesterday."
No longer using language that Ethan couldn't understand to talk, Ethan Ra used mental power to communicate with Ethan - and in order to show respect for Ethan, Ethan Ra also used mental power to "knock the door" first, and then linked it after getting Ethan's permission.
"You're welcome, even if you haven't met me, you'll be able to see Roger Camp soon."
"By the way, where are you from?"
There are generally only a few mage groups in this world, and even a special mage council has been formed. No matter which group they came from, it is impossible to have language barriers, so Isandra is very curious about Ethan.
"Dongfang, my teacher is not very famous."
"Eastern?" Isan Rara didn't believe it. Currently, most mage groups are in the East. She didn't believe that mages from the East could not communicate.
Ethan noticed Isandra's suspicion, so he added: "To be more distant, I accidentally dropped here using a teleportation scroll, so I don't know how far it is."
"Oh...a more distant place?" Isandra half-believing and half-doubted: "By the way, I'm going to find Akara. Kasha said yesterday that she might need my help. Do you know where to find her?"
