Chapter 12 The Elixir of Wisdom
Ace went back with this diary and read it with relish. Gradually, his expression became serious, and the book said:
"The rain on October 20th, the 20th year of Jiancheng Di
We defeated the barbarians again, but this time we suffered heavy losses. Five of the nobles died, all of them were strong soldiers who inspired their bloodlines, and dozens of people died in the Citizens' Heavy Armor Army. This was a very painful experience for our brigade.
All of this is because of the abominable shaman of the barbarians. He can make several barbarian warriors suddenly become as powerful as cows and as fast as leopards. He can even trigger traps from a distance. People who know the language of the barbarians say this is called shamanism, and they must have betrayed their souls and gained the power of the demons.
I fumbled through the body of the evil shaman and found a roll of parchment, which seemed to be recorded on it."
Ace flipped back and said that about three months later, he mentioned the parchment again.
"The snow on January 28, 21st year of Jiancheng Diary
The weather was so cold that it was so cold that it was protected by the God of Frost. Several barbarians were forced to go out to find food because of the heavy snow. They happened to be caught by us. I had to ask for a slave to learn the language and words of the barbarians and understand the meaning on parchment."
"The sun is sunny on March 8, 22nd year of Jiancheng Di
It took a year to finally understand the meaning of parchment. There are too few people in the barbarian tribe who understand words and waste a lot of my time.
There is actually a recipe for wisdom potion written on it. If you survive the natural test after eating it, you may become a shaman.
The main ingredient is the tubers that beat the willow crown, the crystals in the skull of the panic crow, the ratio is three to one, and the others are herbs that calm the mind and wake up the mind. Put them in the clay pot and cook them over low heat, and add water continuously until there is a crystal green paste left in the clay pot, which tastes slightly sweet.
What is this? Why can’t I help but want to give it a try? It must be the devil tempting me!"
"October 1st of October 22nd year of Jiancheng Di Li
Damn it, I actually got all the ingredients and cooked a can of green and drank it.
Why do I feel dizzy and hot all over? Maybe I am trapped in the barbarian trick, this is a poison!
If anyone sees my diary, give it to my mom and tell her that I love her."
"October 8, 22nd year of Jiancheng Di, sunny
After seven days and seven nights, the high fever finally subsided. The captain said that he had already planned to use a roll of mat to pull me back to the city.
These unscrupulous people don’t think about who is doing their best to treat them when they are sick. It seems that they have to give the captain more blood next time.
Fortunately, I came alive and didn’t find anything abnormal at the moment. I felt so healthy. Maybe this kind of medicine is effective only if taken by the barbarians? No matter what, it’s so good to live!"
"The rain on October 20, 22nd year of Jiancheng Di
My eyes seemed to see things much clearer, my memory became stronger, and my reaction became very fast. Could it be the effect of the magic potion? Is this the power of the barbarian shaman?"
"Thursday rain on February 2, 23rd year of Jiancheng Di
I seemed to have the same ability as that shaman. I could lift stones and twist firewood by relying on my imagination. Maybe I should find more secret knowledge about barbarian shamans, such as the way to make them powerful.
I am different from a shaman, so I have to think of a new name. The barbarians say that the shamans use witchcraft, so what should I call myself?
Maybe the new shaman is good?”
The diary ended here, and then there was a piece of black blood, soaked in the booklet, unrecognizable.
Ace took the diary, stood up gently, walked aside, and hid the diary secretly on his body. Although he was calm on his face, his trembling hands and lips had betrayed him.
He was extremely excited. If the things recorded in the diary were true, then there would be ways for mortals to obtain extraordinary power, especially the ability similar to the mind power recorded in the diary, which attracted Ace extremely. He wanted to get a small jar of wisdom potion immediately to try it.
He took a few deep breaths and tried to continue to classify his pile of books, but he felt bored. Although there were still many questions, the authenticity of the diary was still questionable, and his excitement still could not calm down immediately.
Even if the diary is real, there are still many problems that bother him, such as what auxiliary medicine should be given, how much dosage should be given, which is not recorded in the diary. For example, this drug seems to be harmful, how to avoid it, etc. He has not yet thought about the problem.
The next week, Ace calmly continued to compile dictionaries during the day and evening. He quietly checked the registration records and asked Romon about the person who sold the diary. Romon happened to know them. They had similar life experiences and had lost their citizenship. However, that person was even more depressed. He was a widower and could only drink alcohol every day.
After Ace confirmed that the source was fine, he copied the important contents of the diary, threw the diary to the valueless waste book, and watched it burn to ashes. Another week later, he checked the "Low-level Monster Illustrations" and found a description of the beating willow and the panic crow.
When hitting the willow, pictures, low-level plant monsters, branches will actively attack creatures close to it. Once unfortunately fall into its attack range, only by hitting the tuber on its canopy can the violent hitting the willow be quieted down. Some people think that this may be hitting the willow's brain, and hitting the tuber will make it dizzy.
Panic crow, pictures, low-level bird monsters, this is a very clever and cunning monster. It does not have the special abilities of other monsters, but wisdom may be its special feature. Once it appears in groups, it is extremely dangerous.
Both of these materials seem to be related to the monster's brain. Perhaps this method can stimulate the human spirit and make the spirit break through the limits of mortals? Ace thought uncertainly, it seems that some experiments need to be done.
It was the holiday day, Ace came to the third block in the west of the city, which was where the witch hunters gathered. He was walking around casually, and many witch hunters sold materials from low-level monsters here. He saw a few panic crows tied up for sale, his eyes lit up slightly, and he walked slowly.
"These crows look quite fun. Brother, how do you sell them?"
The young witch hunter looked down and saw that he was a half-baby, "This is a low-level monster, a dark crow, with special abilities, and can make people blind for a short time! He has been trained, and you can buy it back as a pet, and you are very good at facing your friends."
"Brother, don't just joke with me when I'm young. This is obviously a panic crow and has no special abilities. But I like it very much. Can you tell me a reliable price? I don't have much money."
When the young man saw that he could not fool him, he also said, "I will just tease you. This crow is so smart. Just like you, you can get a price of fifty silver tales."
Of course Ace refused and bargained, and in the end, twenty silver tale bought two crows, one big and one small. Both of them felt that they had made money and were very happy.
Ace tied up the panic crow and continued to stroll for a while. He saw a whip made of branches of the willow, but he didn't see the tubers of the willow. He thought about it and decided to go back. Today, the crow had already gained unexpectedly.
As for the tubers that beat the willow, Ace was going to ask his father to inquire. When Romon was young, he had chopped off many barbarian heads and killed monsters. He had many comrades in this regard and had a wide range of ways, so it was just right to do this.
As for persuading him, it is easier. Since Ace received commendation from the Cultural and Educational Department, he has been completely convinced by Ace and told everyone that he has a good son.
