Chapter 43 Nutritional Medicine

Diers disagreed with the emotion expressed by Moses in front of him.

As a spellcaster, Diers maintains the pride of a magician and his contempt for the knights.

Those are a group of guys who only know how to use brute force, how can they understand the depth of magic and the magnificence of elemental power.

Although there are no knights in the Underdark, Diers also knows that on the surface or in the entire wizarding world, the number of knights has always far exceeded that of magicians of the same level.

The reason for this situation is that on the one hand, the threshold for knights is indeed lower than that of magicians, and on the other hand, it is also related to the wider recruitment scope of knight attendants that Mosheduo just mentioned.

In this world, after all, there are fewer nobles, and civilians occupy the mainstream of the population.

Although knights who master powerful fighting spirit and physical strength will eventually move towards the path of nobility.

But at any rate, this also provides a path to the nobility for the hundreds of millions of human civilians in the wizarding world, instead of being civilians for generations.

Of course, the large number of knights and the low threshold also caused another fact.

That is, among knights and magicians of the same level, magicians often have a higher status than knights.

And on the premise that there is sufficient magic shield to provide defense in advance, the performance of magicians is much better than that of knights.

The power of magic elements, whether in terms of strike distance or strike range, is stronger than the power of fighting spirit mastered by the knights.

In addition, the knights who are not engaged in production and only know how to fight with brute force, whether in the field of alchemical equipment or magic potions, need to rely on magicians too much.

It is the simplest energy-gathering magic circle that can speed up the practice. Even the knights of the five majors and three majors are blinded when they see it, and they can only turn to magicians who have erudite knowledge and elemental power for help.

It is precisely because of these various reasons that despite the appearance, major holy towers and knight halls have declared on more than one occasion that knights and magicians have equal status.

But in reality, magicians are still more popular, and they are the ones that knights of the same level need to please.

Hostility towards the Holy Tower and Knights' Hall on the surface, as well as complaints about the environment in which black magicians generally live.

Let Moses and Diers, two official black magicians, talk a lot today.

In the laboratory, Thain was unaware of these circumstances.

With the help of his senior brother Zorro, he once again began to try to enchant the Green-jawed Feather Claw.

…

Half a month later, three green jaw feather claws equipped with "sharpness" were Thain's biggest gain in this period of time.

Of course, in addition to this, Thane also learned how to make the "dark cuisine" of nutritional potions from his senior sister Feier.

It was called "dark cuisine" because during the learning process, Thain finally knew what his senior sister Fei'er added to it.

There were just some black bugs that Thain couldn't name yet. He even saw his senior sister Fei'er taking a piece of viscous yellow liquid.

When Thain asked what it was specifically, senior sister Fei'er calmly replied: "The saliva of many packhorses under the ground."

Thain's ugly face at that time symbolized the rich emotions in his heart.

Senior sister Fei'er naturally guessed what Thain was thinking. Senior sister, who had always been lively and cheerful towards Thain, had a straight face to reprimand Thain for the first time.

"What do you know? The inside of the black scabies' carapace is rich in energy and is one of the main ingredients in my nutritional potion."

"The saliva of the underground multi-legged workhorse has very good dissolving properties. Its addition can accelerate the fusion of various materials in the potion and extend the shelf life." Senior Sister Fei'er taught me a lesson.

Senior sister Fei'er's lesson made Thain straighten up immediately.

Indeed, whether it is the dark and seeping bugs or the disgusting saliva of the packhorse, they are just appearances.

As a magician, Thane should not be fooled by appearances. He should see through the appearances and get straight to the essence of things.

Just like when handling specimens, what appeared in front of Thain at that time was no longer a corpse, but a treasure trove containing knowledge in fields related to life and blood.

Only with this mentality can Thain truly be called a truth seeker and go further in the future.

Senior sister Fei'er's lessons have influenced Thain for a long time since then.

Even many years later, when Thain recalled this sentence, he still felt that it was indeed a wise saying for the group of spellcasters in the wizarding world.

…

"I think the carapace of the black scabies can be replaced by the rhizome of the thorngrass. Their properties are similar and they both have high energy."

"As for the saliva of the many-legged packhorses in the ground, I think the juice of green plums, or the water of Aylan I prepared can be used instead."

"Of course, this is just my preliminary idea. Whether it can be done depends on actual testing."

"The instructor said that a slight change in the formula materials, or even a change in dosage or adjustment of the heat, may cause significant deviations in the final reagent." Meili timidly said to Thane in Fat Boss's shop.

At this time, Thain's mandatory mission deadline for the next academy is getting closer and closer. Thain came to Fat Boss today to purchase some low-level materials, and he happened to meet Mei Li who was also here.

After chatting with Meili about the current situation, Thain casually mentioned nutritional potions.

After all, Meili is the real pharmacy apprentice, and his senior sister Fei'er is just a halfway monk. In terms of professionalism, it can't be said that she is not as good as Meili, who is just a low-level apprentice.

Sure enough, after a few words of conversation, Thain got this answer that shocked him.

Thain stared blankly in slight astonishment, making Meili's face turn red.

Before Thain said anything, Meili took the initiative and said, "When the few potion experiments I assisted my mentor during this period are over, I will help you see how to improve the formula."

Meili's answer finally brought Thain back to his senses.

Thain waved his hand and said, "No, no, as long as this nutritional medicine can be used, its taste and specific formula are only secondary."

"Meili, you should also spend some time on practicing. I remember your mental power value. It's only 17 points now, right?" Thain asked.

Meili helped Thane a lot, and the two potions last time almost saved his life.

Because of this, Thain has also given back a lot to the other party during this period.

In addition to tutoring Meili on the fire element in her spare time during experiments and studies, Thain also lent her his crystal ball several times.

Meili's initial mental power was as high as 13 points, but after several years, it only increased by four points.

This cultivation speed is relatively slow in the Black Magic Academy.

Fortunately, Meili's foundation was extremely high. Some of the apprentices were in their twenties and still had more than ten mental points, so there was almost no possibility of impacting the intermediate apprentices.

As for Meili, who is fifteen years old this year, 17 points of mental power is enough to give her a 70% chance of being promoted to an intermediate apprentice.

On the other hand, Fatty Boss didn't have much talent or was very diligent. Whether he could be promoted to an intermediate apprentice before the age of 30 was a big question.
