Chapter 37 I am a mediocre person "Are you really a genius?" ...
The sun slowly sets, and the rich orange light shines on the earth, bringing a touch of warmth to the bleak autumn.
Vifia was sitting on a bench in the garden, reading quietly. From time to time, one or two students passed by, recognized her as the daughter of the Marquis of Caseley, looked at her hesitantly for a few more times, and finally did not go forward to disturb her.
Even in this season, Luo Jinchun is growing luxuriantly.
Gradually, there were no more students coming and going in the garden, and it became completely quiet. There was no wind, no rain, but there was the sunset and a few floating clouds, Luo Jinchun, and the sound of Vifiya turning the pages of a book.
It had been several days since the hunting competition ended. Nothing special had happened during these days, and their intrusion into the Vatican had not been discovered.
There was a huge commotion that day, but the Vatican suppressed it forcefully, and even the royal family did not add insult to injury.
There was no change on Vifiya's face as she turned the pages of the book as usual.
This was something that had never happened before. It was not ruled out that many of the changes this time were due to her, but the actions of the Holy See and the royal family made her keenly smell something unusual.
She knew the relationship between the Holy See and the royal family better than anyone else. On the surface, everything seemed calm and there was mutual respect, but in reality, both sides wanted to hold the other's power in their own hands.
The headquarters of the Lehomy Church, the representative of God, was attacked in an unprecedented and open manner. For the royal family, this was a great opportunity to infiltrate the Vatican. However, the royal family did not take any action and even cooperated with the Vatican.
Vifiya gently stroked the side of the page with her fingers. Unless it was their common enemy and their common interests were infringed, if these were not the case, then it was the royal family that was wary.
If it's the latter, that would be much more interesting.
She subconsciously wondered whether she could use this organization to contain it.
Suddenly, an autumn breeze blew by, and the coldness penetrated her skin. She suddenly came to her senses, smiled slightly, and was not in a hurry.
There were footsteps not far away, slowly approaching, and finally sitting down at the other end of the bench where Vifiya was sitting.
Vifiya didn't respond. He looked curiously at the book in her hand - "How to Become a Master of Pharmacy in Nine Days".
Kaharun, who had been preparing to attend the appointment seriously, felt a lump in his throat, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He asked in disbelief, "You're still watching this?"
The dark history buried deep in his memory kicked him hard, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy with Vifiya.
When he was a child, he found a book in an unknown corner - "Written by the Great Magician: Teaches You How to Become the Strongest in the Magic World". He read it all night long and regarded it as his only treasure, feeling proud of this only treasure of his.
Later, he really studied under the great magician. He went to her and tactfully mentioned the contents of the book, but was questioned by Salis who was confused.
It was at that moment that he realized he had been deceived, that Salis had never written anything like this.
Before Salis found out, before anyone else found out, he burned the book that night and kept the matter to himself from then on. No one would find out that he treated a fake book as a treasure. It was a secret that he kept to himself.
Vifiya turned her head and looked over. She could tell that what Kaharun wanted to say was, "Do you still believe in this kind of thing?" But she could easily see a complex mix of emotions on his face, including relief, sympathy, and "I understand you."
For a moment, she didn't want to know what he was thinking.
She returned her gaze to the book, gently turning the pages, and went straight to the point: "Mrs. Cárdenas and her son may have met with an accident, or perhaps they have already met with an accident."
She understood Lei Luode, otherwise she would not have been able to successfully poison him in her previous life and leave a way out for herself.
Since he told her so confidently that Mrs. Cárdenas and her son were dead, whether it was true or not, whether what he said was entirely true or not, he had already taken action against them.
Upon hearing this, Kaharun's pupils condensed, his face changed slightly, and slowly sank.
Vifiya continued: "I'm not sure what their current situation is."
He retracted his fingers and resisted the urge to use magic here to ensure the safety of Mrs. Cardenas and her child.
The head of the Cardenas family was not a good person, so he had cast a small spell on them to regularly confirm their safety. He had clearly confirmed that they were fine before coming to Lachigo.
He couldn't help but move his fingertips slightly, casting an illusion magic around him, and then quickly activated the magic circle to shrink it as much as possible.
This kind of magic circle, which is supposed to have a fixed size, needs to consume double the magic power to reduce its range.
Soon after he was sure that their lives were not in danger, he felt relieved and immediately withdrew all the magic. However, this magic circle still had some drawbacks and could only determine whether the other party was alive.
Kaharun was not worried that Vifiya would lie to him, as it was easy to find out whether such things were true or not.
Vifiya could still see the light from his fingertips in her peripheral vision, but she didn't pay any attention to it.
"As for why I know this, just assume that as the Marquis's daughter, I have my own source of information," Vifia said, answering the explanation he wanted in front of the Pope's scriptorium.
This isn't an explanation; it's an evasion.
Of course, she couldn't explain why she knew this. Was it because she had lived many lives? Because she had met him in a past life? Had they briefly crossed paths, and then, from his answers in this life, she had guessed how important that lady was to him?
This is a closed loop. After one why, there will be more whys, and it will never be finished.
Vifiya didn't know Kaharun's past, but she knew that a magician who needed to hide his identity all the time would be willing to show up and help out of a favor, which was enough to show how important that person was.
The only explanation for why he helped Reilly in his previous life was that Reilly discovered this favor from somewhere and took over the identity of Mrs. Cardenas' son. Reilly was totally capable of doing it.
She didn't even have to gamble whether Kaharun would believe her.
She turned to look at Kaharun at the other end of the bench: "Also, I think you should know this news."
As soon as he finished speaking, he calmed down completely and raised his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking about. After a while, he stared at her thoughtfully.
Without hesitation, he inquired, "Have we met before?"
When their eyes met, Vifiya's expression did not change at all. She still looked at him quietly, but her breathing paused briefly and her heart trembled.
She had not expected Kaharun to ask this question. He was much more perceptive than she had imagined. He was able to piece together the conclusion from her few words and guess that she had met him before.
This is the first time in the past sixteen lifetimes.
She didn't answer. She looked away calmly, closed the book, and stood up. "You can focus on investigating a man named Reilly Cardenas."
She bent down and picked up the small bamboo basket that had been lying beside the bench for a long time while saying, "I'll keep an eye on the rest."
After saying that, he took a step towards him and handed the bamboo basket to him.
Kaharun looked up at her, took the bamboo basket, and lifted the checkered cloth on it. Inside were potions of various colors and several pages of paper with his, Isidore's and Salis's names written on them.
Vifiya said, "These potions are all gifts of thanks that I made myself. Your names are written on them, and the paper also has an explanation of the potion's effects. Just take them as you see fit."
She had received a lot of help from them, and she also took Isidore's earrings. After thinking about it, she realized that they might not need the gems and gold coins, so if she was going to give them something, she should give them something they could use.
He was startled when he heard this. Seeing that Vifiya looked very serious, his eyes fell on the book in her arms and he asked hesitantly, "Are you sure?"
She followed his gaze to the book. She had come across it by chance, and some of the concepts in it were similar to those of the bard who taught her alchemy, so she bought it.
She probably knew what he was thinking, and it seemed that she was indeed not very reliable.
She reached out and brushed aside the plaid cloth, took out a bottle of potion with Kaharun's name on it, and raised her voice slightly: "Try it?"
Kaharun looked up at her again and saw that she was not joking. He asked, "Have you ever learned this before?"
Vifiya nodded, stared at the potion and said, "Drop it on your hand."
She watched him put the bamboo basket aside and drip the potion on her hands. After finishing her studies with the bard, she had not made many potions except for studying this kind of magic-related potion. Except for the experiment on rats to poison Raylord in her previous life, she would use the others herself first after making them.
She had made sure that the medicine in the bamboo basket would not cause any harm to the human body.
“Is it working?” she asked.
Kaharun shook his head, but didn't blame her for giving them an ineffective potion. He smiled and said, "Your skills are not very good."
After saying that, he wiped the potion off his palm. In just a moment, he stood up, his smile froze, and after confirming it several times, he looked up at Vifiya in shock.
She caught his reaction in her eyes and knew it was working.
Kaharun felt that the magic power he had consumed not long ago was recovering faster than usual.
Although I can feel that the recovery speed is not astonishingly fast, it is indeed faster.
This is a magic recovery potion. According to the records of the magic recovery potion fragments in ancient potion books, the prototype of this research had already been formed before the war four hundred years ago, but all the research records were destroyed after the war.
His heart was beating fast. He knew that Vifiya had no magic power, but she had made a magic recovery potion.
"Do you know what this is?" he asked, trying to remain calm.
Her face was calm: "I probably know."
Kaharun looked at her expression. She seemed unaware of the significance of what she had refined.
The sky was already dark, and his gaze fell on Vifiya's book again. Her appearance was already gorgeous, and now it was repeatedly coated with a layer of light in his eyes. He couldn't help but stand up and ask: "Are you really a master?"
Vifiya didn't know how to explain it for a moment, and this matter was quite complicated. She was not proficient in alchemy, and the potion-making process she learned was different from all the known systems.
Kaharun opened the potion again and dropped a drop onto his palm, spreading it. This time, he felt nothing. The mana in his body was still recovering at the same speed as the previous drop. He asked, "Do you have time?"
Vifiya: "Now?"
Seeing his determined look, Vifiya lowered her eyes and thought. Although she still had other things to review, she already had a new plan in her mind, so she nodded.
Even after receiving her affirmation, Kaharun still asked, "Can I ask Lady Salis and Isidore to come over?"
She still nodded. She had made the potion and given it to them without intending to hide it. However, it seemed that the appearance of this potion might have a greater impact than she had imagined.
The bard had only told her that the potion's effects were related to magic. Since he would tease her, she had specifically asked if it was good, and received a positive answer.
Before contacting Salis and Isidore, Kaharun exclaimed, "You seem like a genius?"
Vifia raised her eyes. When the bard first evaluated her talent in alchemy, he said, "You are mediocre."
Because she knew why she wanted to study pharmacy and was also aware of her talent in this area, she never denied it. She said, "No, I am mediocre."
