Serious Witch's Travel Book

The boiled pot must be very hot, is that okay?

Gnicia stared at the puzzling behavior of the water demon in dumbfounded.

She could roughly see the situation in the pot through the not-so-thick water film—the wine didn't seem to be fully boiled, but the pot had already begun to be filled with a slightly colored mist, and the dense gas was accompanied by the water demon. Contact seems to be gradually absorbed by it.

Correspondingly, the water demon's body began to take on color, and it swelled slightly. As time passed, it was dyed a very light amber yellow, which actually looked a little nice.

The water demon asked Gnicia to add some firewood from time to time, and its color became darker and darker with time. The two waited for a long time, but fortunately no one came to disturb her, otherwise Gnicia really didn't know what to do. how to explain.

Finally, the firewood gradually extinguished, and according to the water demon's instructions, Gnicia found a larger basin, and it didn't reach Gnicia again, but fell into the basin with a squeak.

There was still some wine left in the pottery pot, but the color was much lighter, and it looked different from before; while the water monster was lying in the pot like a dead fish, and ordered Gnicia arrogantly: [Screw me. 】

"screw?"

[Yeah, just like twisting a rag, you can use more force! 】

"..."

Gnicia, who didn't know what it was thinking, grabbed it, clenched both ends and began to wriggle.

[Oooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh-hands Of A Beautiful Girl!Beautiful girl's hands are squeezing me! 】

"..."

If it didn't sound like a female, Gnicia would have thought it was harassing her.

However, the unexpected surprise was that with her twisting, some still yellowish but clearer wine was squeezed out of the water demon's body.

The amount is not much... After she squeezed out all the liquid that the water demon could squeeze out, the new liquid was only a small half of the bowl.

【Clang clang clang!know what this is 】

"do not know."

Gnicia shook her head obediently.

These new ales are full-bodied and, while still warm, smell quite different from the older ales.

[This is spirits. Although the local method may not be particularly successful, it should not be a big problem! 】

------

Tips.1: Sense of ghost—that is, the ability of the caster to perceive the surrounding world.This ability increases with the use of spells, and also rewards the caster in the sense and control of the magic element.

Tips.2: The spirit of atonement—the angels of the state religion will put the souls of sinful and capable people into stone statues to redeem their sins in the mortal world. These stone statues are also the guardians of the state religion.

In the previous article, Numeria appeared at the age of 24, slightly older than the heroine.There are some mistakes in the previous article, which have been corrected.

Chapter 56 039. Alchemy, the wind of ether and magic element

The strong smell of wine came from the small basin, even though Gnicia didn't like the slightly pungent smell, she was still curious.

"Why is that?"

Does the smell change that much after the wine is boiled?

[Use the different temperature of each substance mixed together to turn into gas to separate them, a very simple substance change!Although the method is very rustic, but try to avoid methanol, it should be no problem...it should be! 】

"Well."

Completely, I don't quite understand.

[Don't you want to try it?It should be a very rare spirit! 】

"It smells so weird, can this kind of thing really be used as medicine?"

[No problem, spirits are a good solvent. Even after 3000 years, someone will drink scorpions and centipedes with wine.Try it? 】

Is this really drinkable?

Gnicia was skeptical.

However, she sticks her lips a little bit with the idea of ​​not getting pregnant after taking a sip.

First, the warmth of the wine touching the lips, which has not yet faded, followed by the heat of the sensitive mucous membrane being irritated.Gnicia subconsciously pursed her lips twice, and half-swallowed and half-spit out the wine, but when she got used to the slight pain, as if she had eaten peppercorns, she felt a sense of coolness. Suddenly mixed into it.

Gnicia wiped off the liquid running down her lips, she didn't like the overly irritating touch.

And... it's not very good to drink.

The small amount of spirits she swallowed made her tongue tingle slightly, and the bitterness of the ale became stronger after the so-called "separation"... In short, it was... not very tasty, and it was slightly burnt The smell of clay may have something to do with the container she used.

"Bah bah bah."

She spit out a few more mouthfuls, and the hot feeling made her unable to resist sticking out her tongue, trying to drive away the smell of alcohol sticking to her tongue.

"Not good at all."

【Uh, this is also a matter of course, the wine that has just been distilled probably won't taste good...】

"Then what should I do next, soak the mint leaves in it?"

【No, it's not that simple. The fire hasn't gone out yet. You go and pour out the rest of the wine and re-boil a pot of clean river water.Remember to find something to cover this bowl first. 】

"it is good."

So Gnicia began to do the next step according to the arrangement of the water demon.

She filled another pot of water, picked some clean and vigorous mint leaves again, and according to the instructions of the water demon, she found a few fire feather flowers in the medicine field, which is a kind of light mint shaped like a bird's tail. Red flowers, the petals grow upright, the color is darker at the bottom and lighter at the top, but the edge of the upper petals is particularly bright as if it is on fire.

------------

Fire Feather Flower, worth 2.36

Magic element contained: thin

------------

Perhaps it was because of the cold weather that the flowers she found were a little wilted, but they were indeed things that "look warm", and although they were not as valuable as laurel, they contained more magic essence than the dried ones found here. The laurel is even higher.

"Is this okay?"

[No problem, the simplest decoction does not require specified ingredients, we just need to extract enough ether that meets the formula standard. 】

"What is ether?"

What is not in the library of the sages is Gnicia's intellectual blindness.

[Ether is the basis of matter, of course, it is analyzed from the perspective of mysticism.Have you heard of the wind of magic element? 】

"Heard... it's... 'Breath of the Planets and the Universe'?"

[That’s right, it’s everywhere, invisible and qualityless, but it shapes all things——chaos is dualistic, and order contains changes. This is the wind of magic essence. 】

【Light and shadow, life and death, heat and cold, metal and nature.These are all the 'elements' of the magic element. The magic element is a simple thing. They have no purpose to shape everything in the world, but everything is born because of it. Why?How does it do it? 】

"Who knows what you said..."

[...Don't talk about the name—forget it, let's put it this way—the balance exists among all things, and almost nothing can exclude one of the elements, or exist in an abnormal extreme. 】

[If you don’t consider the theories of other disciplines, at least from the perspective of alchemy: when the original absolute balance of magic elements is broken, they will begin to show specific properties, deposit, and transform into another tangible The state of existence continues to exist, and this is the ether—everything we are familiar with is composed of ether, and the ether follows the exquisite proportion of the eight elements to shape all things, and the ethers that are compatible with each other will combine with each other to form everything we are familiar with. 】

The water demon suddenly climbed onto Gnicia's hand, and it turned into a transparent and soft water film that wrapped the girl's hand and controlled her movements.

[See that, mint. 】

It controlled Gnicia's hand, allowing her to pinch a fresh mint leaf.

[A plant that is widely used in entry-level potions, even in profound potions, it has a place as a blending agent. 】

"Is this 'Potions' or 'Alchemy'?"

Gnicia couldn't tell.

[All are.We use "alchemy" to refer to all the knowledge that "causes the transformation of material properties", but according to the material, the transformation method will be more detailed.It is both alchemy and potions, and the two do not conflict. 】

[Continue to read this.The most basic mint is composed of 27 kinds of ethers with different spectrums. This is a very stable state. It is almost harmless, good-looking, and...]

Gnicia's controlled right hand suddenly lifted up, and she sent the cleaned mint leaves to Gnicia's lips.

[It can be eaten directly. 】

"It's a bit bitter."

[But it has no magic essence, or in other words, it is difficult to store magic essence. The too stable ether balance makes it difficult to absorb foreign magic essence. Even if it is placed in a place where magic essence is extremely rich, the amount of magic essence it can hold It is very limited, and it is actually not very qualified for making potions. 】

[Of course, we have many ways to forcibly infuse it with magic essence, and even transform it into a natural magic essence plant.But for a youngster like you, it seems to be too difficult anyway, so we use other methods. 】

"what should I do?"

[You should ask the nun who talked to you about potions before, she has the intention of protecting you, maybe she wants to prevent you from becoming an evil witch by letting you join the monastery... Find her, you Ask her this way: be polite, ask her for 'Maria's nectar', and remember, be confident when you ask, and pretend you know it.If she questions you, just tell her that the medicines in the garden are substandard, and I think she will understand. 】

After finishing speaking, the water demon left Gnicia's body. It climbed onto the wall of the church and formed a hemisphere, and said: "I can't follow you in, maybe something will notice me... go , bring back what I want. 】

Gnicia had no doubts about it.

She entered the church alone, and found Numeria sitting in a corner with her eyes closed and meditating in the hall, but she did not see Sister Marianne.Numeria heard her footsteps, and before Gnicia could speak, she made a silent gesture, and then brought Gnicia back to the back room of the church.

In the corridor, Gnicia asked her what the nixie had told her.

"Why? What do you want that for?"

Sister Numeria was obviously very surprised by her request.

"The herbs in the yard are not suitable, they are all ordinary plants." Gnicia told the lie that she had thought about two or three times: "If I want the medicine to have a normal effect, I need a little... ..."

Sister Noumelia stared at her for a while, because she lied, Gnicia was a little timid. She was already much shorter than the nun, and she seemed to be submissive at the moment.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the nun's face gradually changed from gentle to serious, and she began to wonder if the water demon was playing tricks on her, did she ask for something extremely precious?

In the end, Sister Numeria let go.

"You wait here for a while, if you have something to knock on the door, don't speak loudly, Marianne is resting."

"Follow your orders."

Gnicia imitated what Phaedra had done, slightly lifted the nun's skirt with her right hand, and bowed her head to Numeria.

After agreeing, Numeria quickly went up to the second floor, and Gnicia heard her lock herself in a certain room.

She waited downstairs for a long time before she saw the nun come down and handed her a small clay bottle, the kind used to hold medicine before.

There was some clean and beautiful white juice in the bottle, Gnicia sniffed it subconsciously, it was not warm - it seemed to be the kind she ate with bread yesterday morning.

milk?

"Are these enough?"

Sister Noumelia raised her head, and Gnicia felt that her attitude towards her seemed to be a little stricter. She didn't dare to meet the nun's eyes, but when she saw the nun's chest, she found that the nun There was a slight bulge under the clothes—this made Gnicia's cheeks unbearably hot, so she finally lowered her head and said to the nun in a muffled voice: "That's enough, thank you generous."

The nun went back into the hall without saying anything.

When Gnicia went out the back door, the water demon hanging on the wall basking in the sun slipped back into her clothes.

"What is this, milk?"

Gnicia looked at the contents of the vial in wonder.

【Just treat it as milk.A little less...but enough. 】

[Go to light the fire, and then go to cut the mint. 】

Under the instigation of the invited foreign consultant, Gnicia started the fire again—the wood she had burned before had turned into charcoal, and there were still some unburned embers left. The flame was lit again.Then she tried to put the half-filled pot on it, but the water demon stopped her:

[Mint wine does not need so much water, we only need a little water to decoct the medicine, pour most of it out, and be quicker. 】

Even the water demon, who has always spoken and acted frivolously, is much harsher.

So she poured out most of the water again, and the pot was heavy, much to the dismay of Gnicia, who had done so much futile work.

[Before the water boils, go ahead and cut the mint you picked, and cut the stems and leaves to about the same size as the smallest leaves. No roots, no crushing, but you have to ensure that each part is There are two or three cuts. 】

Gnicia hurriedly ran to the chopping board again, trying to chop up the washed mint, but in a panic, she picked up a beautiful Fire Feather Flower, and when she realized it, She has cut off half of the flowers.

【Fool! 】

The water demon climbed up to her waist along the back, propped up her clothes, and slapped her buttocks.

There was almost no strength, but Gnicia still shivered in embarrassment. She straightened up reflexively, and whispered: "Sorry——"

[A rookie can't make such a low-level mistake, pick out all the petals, remove the mint, the warm juice will destroy the cooling effect. 】

"Yes Yes Yes……"
