Chapter 38 Potions Knowledge Tree
The definition of Potions is the use of materials with extraordinary properties, in specific ratios, through special techniques to continuously fuse and collide, to ultimately form the required extraordinary potions.
As a unique and mature auxiliary profession of the wizard profession, potions science involves a huge amount of knowledge.
After long years of research and evolution, modern wizards have divided potions into five branches: materials science, pharmacology, compatibility, alchemy, and toxicology.
Among them, materials science mainly studies the characteristics, classification, formation methods, collection and storage methods of various extraordinary materials.
Pharmacology is about understanding the effects of different potions on users, as well as their sequelae, etc. It is somewhat similar to conducting clinical trial research.
Compatibility science is relatively complex. It mainly studies the interactions between different potions and the reasonable combination of formulas when making potions.
Alchemy explores how to refine and prepare pure extraordinary properties, eliminating those parts that easily cause pollution and distortion.
At first, Wayne was confused as to why Alchemy was placed under the Potions branch.
But after reading the contents of "Introduction to Potions - Basic Theory of Potions", he realized that this alchemy is only a very small branch of alchemy.
In general, alchemy is more demanding and requires a wider range of knowledge than potions.
As for the last one, toxicology... it is just the opposite of the research direction of pharmacology. It is mainly about how to use the pollution characteristics of extraordinary materials to create poisons that accelerate pollution or distortion.
Seeing this, Wei En had a basic understanding of potions.
The categories are divided very carefully, and the corresponding study and research will also consume more time.
However, these were still acceptable. When he saw the equipment and equipment that might be involved in making potions, he became depressed.
Precision balances, crucibles, isolation arrays, protective clothing...
each item costs more than 1 gold pound, especially the isolation array, which costs 5 gold pounds to purchase.
Wei En opened the "Magic Potion Formula (Apprentice Edition)" unbelievingly and looked at the three potions listed above, the enlightenment potion, the healing potion and the mental defense potion.
Not to mention the extraordinary materials required, the necessary equipment for making these potions includes crucibles, precise balances, protective gloves and material mixers... Together,
these things require about 7 gold pounds.
Then, he opened "Material Science (Apprentice Edition)" and compared the contents of the formula to find those extraordinary materials.
The results are very gratifying -
for example, the enlightenment potion requires the source of the wraith, the brain flower seeds of the black toad and an octopus leg produced in the Cordo Sea. Each material costs 15 shillings.
The sales price of the finished product is divided into low, medium and high grades according to the quality of the potion. A low-grade enlightenment potion is priced at 18 shillings, plus labor costs, which equals no loss or profit.
Wei En couldn't help but cursed, "Where's the money grab?"
Not to mention 5 gold pounds, all the money he had together was only enough to buy the base of the isolation circle...
However,
he also knew these things in his heart It’s impossible not to buy it.
If nothing else, let’s take the most expensive isolation array.
When processing those extraordinary materials, some pollution properties will be released. Without the protection of the isolation circle, you can only rely on your own strength to resist.
It was okay to encounter the parchment of "Gonzalez Language", and his mental power was enough to suppress it.
But if they encounter pollution like the source of despair, most apprentices will die completely.
"It seems that I don't want to try making potions today..."
Wei En sighed helplessly, and then read the rest of the knowledge related to potions.
With his current spiritual level, it is not difficult to remember these contents.
But if he had a choice, he would rather not remember it.
Especially when looking at knowledge related to compatibility and alchemy, the price of each piece of research equipment required for the experimental environment is astronomical... "No wonder
potions are so expensive, not counting the losses during production. The initial investment alone is not something that ordinary people can afford."
Wei En is now extremely envious of the wizard apprentices who have been selected to study within the school, and envies that they can use the magic medicine laboratory within the school.
[You have successfully completed the study of the basic knowledge of Potions and opened the Potions knowledge tree. Comment: Poverty limits your development, poor stranger. Special rewards: +3 survival points, +1 toughness level. ]
[Note: Potion science is an epoch-making invention. Its emergence has changed the direction of destiny to a certain extent, but it has also brought misfortune in some aspects. 】
At this time, the panel prompts that the potions knowledge tree has been opened.
Wei En glanced at it, didn't bother to look at it anymore, and put away the several rolls of parchment.
There is no recipe in the knowledge tree, and I can’t even add points. Why did you read it?
After packing up the things on the desktop, Wayne started the "typewriter" and started today's intelligence uploading work.
I believe that with the information on the missing case in the slums that was completed today, we can exchange for some more money.
Now he felt like he was in a daze. After survival point anxiety, he suffered from golden pound anxiety syndrome.
Especially after seeing the consumption of potions knowledge, his desire for money became even stronger.
"August 10, 1578 in the New Calendar. The weather was sunny." "
Today, I took a great risk and went deep into the Laos neighborhood of Castor City State to investigate the reasons for the disappearance of people. I was extremely unlucky to witness the city-state secret investigation. Division and the Thousand-Faced Claire of the Eternal Life Society..."
Out of caution, Wei En did not tell anyone about his joining the Secret Adjustment Division, but instead reported the entire intelligence collection work from a third perspective.
Just as he didn't tell Lacey and others the fact that he was a wizard's apprentice, he kept everything in reserve.
"...Finally, against all odds, the 326 missing people were found deep in Laos. It can be determined that these people were sacrificed by the Despair Sect and have turned into mummies." "
In addition,"
wrote Wei En After thinking for a moment, he did not choose to report the information about the forbidden object 034's resurrected coffin.
Firstly, the news about the forbidden object is too important, and secondly, the progress of encountering the resurrected coffin has reached 20%. If it is spread through the school, the progress may reach 40%.
Moreover, he was worried that after reporting the matter, the liaison officer would directly assign him the task of investigating forbidden objects.
If you can't even hide, but you still have to take the initiative to get closer, isn't that a fool's errand?
"There is no clue yet about the Holy Beloved of the Church of Dawn. I will do my best to investigate, but with the power of the Church of Dawn in the city of Custer, I am afraid that..." "On the road of pursuing knowledge, death is not the end
- —Yours sincerely, Wayne Loft, Intelligence Officer of Custer City State."
Wayne described in detail the tyranny of the Church of Dawn and explained the difficulty of the task of investigating the Holy Beloved.
Trying to infect the liaison officer with such words, I hope she can give him a few more days of grace.
It should be possible...
