  Chapter 67 Red Cortex

  Collins was excited, very excited.

  To be precise, when he just stepped into Leon's study and saw the mages from the Thorn Territory gathered together, Collins felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

  Why did he come to Thorn Territory?

  The reason is simple, just to explore the path of magic.

  In a sense, Collins is really a very pure person.

  He was born into a merchant family.

  When Collins was a teenager, he followed his father around as a businessman. By chance, he was spotted by a mage and got the opportunity to become a mage's apprentice.

  And he cherished this opportunity very much.

  In just five years, Collins went from being an ordinary mage apprentice to successfully passing the mage certification and becoming a genuine mage.

  At that time, I don’t know how many people were amazed by such miraculous speed.

  However, just as Collins confidently charged towards the Archmage's goal, he got stuck.

  For more than twenty years, Collins's ideal of becoming an archmage has never dissipated, but his magical path, like others, encountered an insurmountable barrier.

  Knowing that he met Leon who came for mage certification.

  In the magic that Leon practiced, Collins saw another possibility and the hope of making him an archmage.

  It was precisely because of this that Collins gave up everything he owned in the city of Parma and came to Antolia, the southernmost land of the Andal Kingdom, without hesitation.

  Here, for the first time, he witnessed the sturdy folk customs of Antoria, and for the first time he felt the customs that were completely different from those in the mainland of the kingdom.

  But Collins also understood that as a new outsider, even if he was a mage, Leon, as a lord, could not teach him the completely different magic path.

  Fortunately, he really only came here to learn magic.

  During this period, he personally experienced night attacks by the Sami tribe, and also followed Leon's instructions to help build the bridge on the White Blade River.

  But now, Leon mentioned the potion openly and honestly in front of him.

  This shows what?
  This shows the heavy trust that the lord has in himself!
  If someone else had said the word potion, Collins would probably just smile and say nothing.

  But when Leon said it, it was completely different.

  Especially after witnessing the curtain of light hanging over the city, Collins had long been strongly curious about the magic mastered by Leon.

  However, Leon didn't know what Collins was thinking.

  The reason why he did not shy away from raising the consideration of developing potion in front of everyone today was because even if he had the help of the ancient archives and the information recording the potion formula, he would not be able to start for a while.

  Materials such as lavender rhizomes, Maine flower pollen, and verbena sap are all plants that are native to the Kingdom of Andal or neighboring kingdoms and principalities.

  But things like those unicorn horns, piranha seeds, fluorescent sea urchin gonads, etc., let alone seeing them, Leon had never even heard of them.

  In this case, most of the mages in the territory have no problem with their loyalty anyway.

  Even Collins, who came from Parma City, basically passed the inspection in Leon during this period, so he simply took out the required materials openly and expressed his intention to engage in potion research and development in advance.

  After brainstorming, I am not sure what unexpected gains I will get.

  Obviously, Kerman, the priest of the Navaco tribe, seems to know something. Otherwise, his face should look like the others, showing a kind of blank ignorance.

  "Kerman."

  Therefore, Leon immediately asked by name: "It seems that you know something about potions?"

  With the introduction of potions, Kerman was already convinced of Leon's identity, and with the addition of Na The Wako tribe had just become the subject of the Jimena family, so Kerman was naturally eager to show off.

  So, he immediately replied clearly:
  "Reporting to Lord Viscount, the Navaco tribe's past vellums have recorded information about potions. However, due to the lapse of a long time, the Navaco tribe has no idea about the potions. I don’t know exactly what it is used for, so I never take it seriously.”

  “It wasn’t until today, when the Viscount mentioned the magic potion, that I thought about it.”

  Kerman blinked slightly awkwardly and said with some embarrassment. .

  After all, it can be heard from Leon's words that the young lord has great expectations for the use of potions, but the Navaco tribe has always put the records about potions in the corner to eat. Hui, it’s really a waste of natural resources.

  And after hearing Kerman's words, Fast couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

  As descendants of their ancestors, the Nahuaco tribe still preserves the kraft paper from a long time ago. No matter how worn it is, it is still in written form. On the other hand, the Lapluk people's own history was only passed down orally by successive generations of priests.

  But Leon obviously didn't have the heart to think about this, and quickly asked:

  "News about the potion? What news?"

  "Recipe? Key points for making it? Or is it a taboo or something like that?"

  "Uh... It seems like it's something that may happen when mixing potions. The medicinal materials that will be used..."

  Kerman replied with some uncertainty.

  "Horbid cordyceps? Hundred-cup flowers? Foebole caterpillars? Or something else?"

  Leon listed several potion materials that he particularly wanted to know about.

  Kerman quickly said:
  "Horbid cordata!"

  What a coincidence, he was particularly impressed by this medicinal material.

  Because this blood-red weed has a really pungent smell, and the stench emitted by its juice can be easily smelled dozens of miles away.

  "Where can I find it?"

  Leon asked impatiently.

  You know, before convening the meeting of the mages of Antolia, Leon had already done enough homework from the collection of ancient archives, and specifically marked that the hit was relatively simple to make, and it was very important to today's Antolia. A powerful potion.

  For example...

  a magic potion that uses the juice of the red cordyceps as the main ingredient, supplemented by some relatively common plant roots.

  The specific name of the potion is a bit long, and Leon can't remember it clearly.

  But according to the records in the ancient archives, this is a medicine that ordinary people can also take. Its main function is to restore physical strength and energy in a very short time. It was a common preparation for ancestors thousands of years ago when they went out to hunt. Potion.

  only……

  Facing Leon's question, Kerman hesitated for a while, as if he recalled something terrible.

   I'm stuck, I need to go through the outline carefully...
