Above the mage!
Chapter 49: Level Up Potion
Chapter 49: Level Up Potion
“What are these pages?”
Godard thought as he picked up the small stack of yellowed pages placed under the potion formula.
His interest became extremely high because of the huge harvest.
Spell recipes and potion prescriptions are all here.
He really couldn’t think of any other piece of paper that was worthy of being placed so solemnly in a magical wooden box with a secret lock by Master Seda.
Gao De casually flipped through a few pages, glanced at them briefly, and was stunned.
It turned out to be a stack of letters.
Most of them are letters from the city of Bremen.
There was also a letter written by Master Seda. It should be a letter he had written and was preparing to send somewhere, but he died in Gaode’s hands before he could send it out.
In Gaode’s opinion, Master Seda was an evil wizard with no relatives and a lonely personality. That was why he dared to take over the medicine garden with confidence.
How could such a person have so many correspondences?
Who is the letter addressed to?
He began to feel a little worried.
Could it be that Master Seda has any mage friends?
If this is true, this person might have noticed that Master Seda had suddenly stopped writing letters to him, and thought it was unusual, so he came to visit him.
He didn’t have the confidence that he could kill another senior mage apprentice.
Gao De felt a little nervous, but at the same time, he was very curious, so he quickly looked through the small stack of letters in detail.
After reading it, Gao De first breathed a sigh of relief.
It is not a letter to a good friend, but should be called a family letter.
“I guess you are not alone.”
Gao De couldn’t help but sigh.
This small stack of stationery was actually all letters sent by Master Seda’s wife who was far away in Bremen.
For the past ten years, Master Seda’s wife has sent him a letter every six months or so.
It lasted for ten years and there were twenty letters in total.
From the contents of these twenty letters, Gao De roughly pieced together Master Seda’s past.
It turns out that Master Seda was born into a wizard family in Bremen, and could barely be considered a second-generation wizard.
His family was once prosperous.
At its most powerful, the family had a second-ring wizard and nearly ten first-ring wizards, which was considered a considerable wizard force in Bremen.
However, after many generations of inheritance, his family began to lack successors, and until the last four generations, there had not been a first-level wizard, and thus it gradually declined.
By the time of Master Seda’s generation, he was the only male left in the once huge family.
And his talent as a mage is just average.
Relying on some of the wealth left by his family and taking a lot of magic potions, he only reached the level of a third-class apprentice at the age of thirty-five, and had almost no hope of becoming a first-ring wizard.
Originally, Master Seda was very resigned to his fate.
Although he had no talent for cultivation, he unexpectedly made some achievements in the field of alchemy, and successfully mastered the potion recipes that his family had obtained when it was prosperous.
Although their livelihood was not as good as when their family was prosperous, they could still get by. At least they had no worries about food and drink in Bremen.
However, somehow, a rumor inexplicably spread in a small area, saying that Master Seda’s ancestors had passed down several precious and extraordinary items from generation to generation.
Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.
Master Seda noticed that some mysterious peepers began to appear near his home, and he also heard this rumor.
Although he was not very talented, he was still a smart man at this age, and he keenly realized that there must be a dark hand behind this.
As a last resort, Master Seda had to take the risk and attempt to “upgrade the ring” without any confidence and insufficient preparation.
What is “Ring Up”?
It is the process of a mage apprentice being promoted to a first-level mage.
A more understandable translation is “laying the foundation”.
Only by being promoted to a first-ring mage can one scare off these ill-intentioned peepers and deter the dark forces behind them.
The result was that the promotion unexpectedly failed.
Master Seda was also seriously injured by the failure of promotion, his life span was shortened, and he showed signs of premature aging. Those snoopers were already ready to make a move, and his failure of promotion and extreme weakness would only embolden those villains who secretly coveted his family’s property.
Master Seda also understood this principle.
In desperation, he had to explain everything to his wife, then left his hometown, fled, and quietly came to Hogan City to live in seclusion.
However, when he was on the run, in order to avoid being discovered by others and to conceal his whereabouts, Master Seda had no choice but to leave his wife and children in Bremen and escape alone.
In order to ensure that he could not be traced, Master Seda had no contact with his wife for three years.
It was not until three years had passed that the dark hand hiding in the dark should have lost patience and must have concluded that he had fled with his family property, abandoning his wife and children and would no longer pay too much attention to his wife. Only then did Master Seda recontact his wife in the way they had agreed upon when they separated.
Master Seda was forced to live in seclusion in Hogan City, separated from his wife and children, and was already feeling very aggrieved.
Not to mention that his failure to be promoted to a first-ring mage also caused his lifespan to shorten and the vitality in his body to decline.
In order to be reunited with his family, return to Bremen with integrity, and also to increase his lifespan and avoid premature death, Master Seda must try to “upgrade his rings” again and become a first-ring wizard.
But how difficult is it for a Sedar mage with mediocre qualifications to be promoted to a first-ring mage?
Especially since he had already failed once and damaged his essence, it would be even more difficult for him to upgrade his ring.
Unless you drink the level-up potion, there might still be a chance.
What is a level-up potion?
If “Ring Promotion” means “Foundation Building”, then “Ring Promotion Potion” is actually equivalent to “Foundation Building Pill”.
The problem is that:
The preciousness of “Ring-Up Magic Potion” is as great as that of “Foundation-Building Pill”.
The commonly used level-up potion in the Principality of Sean is called “Water of Leveling”.
As the production of one of the main ingredients of “Spiritual Water” is extremely small, the annual output of “Spiritual Water” in the entire country is also very small.
The “Spiritual Water” produced every year must first go through a round of internal digestion before a small amount will flow into the market. It is not something that Master Seda can buy at all.
Fortunately, his ancestors left behind an incomplete recipe for a spiritual potion.
It is said to be an ancient magic potion from the ancient Misrid dynasty.
This gave Master Seda hope.
As long as he completes the formula of the spiritual potion and successfully mixes it, he can use the spiritual potion formula to exchange for the “Spiritual Water”.
No matter how precious and rare the “Spiritual Water” is, it is definitely not as good as the recipe for a level 1 magic potion.
After drinking the “Water of Ascension”, he tried to “upgrade” again. If he could successfully be promoted to a first-ring wizard, the problem of lifespan would be solved, and he could return to Bremen openly and reunite with his family.
With this thought in mind, Master Seda began to devote himself to completing the recipe of the “Psychic Potion” without any hesitation, almost becoming obsessed.
Since reconnecting with his wife, every year, Master Seda would entrust the caravan to send a letter to his wife in Bremen to inform her of his situation that year.
Although Master Seda still had some properties in Bremen, he could not take them with him when he left, so he left them to his wife.
My wife rents out these properties and the rent she earns is enough for her daily life.
But as a husband and father, Master Seda was always worried that his wife and children were not well fed and clothed. Every year when he sent a letter, he would enclose 50 gold coins with it.
This is also the origin of the 50 Sean gold coins that Gode seized from the wooden box.
“My dearest Misu, I know it has not been easy for you to raise Sel and run the household all these years. Your tenacity and wisdom have always been my greatest pride.”
“Please continue to manage the property according to our plan and make appropriate household arrangements.”
“As in previous years, I have arranged for 50 Sean gold coins to arrive with this letter. I hope it will be enough to support my family and make up for my debt.”
“I have been in seclusion for a long time, and the preparation of the spiritual potion is finally infinitely close to success.”
“If all goes well, maybe this year I can go home, reunite with you, return to your warm embrace, and we will never be separated again;
When I left, Sel was just over a month old and couldn’t call me dad yet. Now he is thirteen years old and has become a little adult. He must have inherited your beauty and my wisdom.
I heard from your letter that Searle’s magic talent is far better than mine, which makes me extremely happy. When I return home, we will send Searle to the magic academy to study, and everything will be fine. “
“In these days of separation, although we cannot see each other, our hearts are closely connected, just like the two wisterias in front of our window, whose roots are forever intertwined.”
“Eternal love.”
“Seda.”
