Chapter 785 'God's Potion'
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has been half a month since Gervis returned to St. Ann's City.
Since there has been no war in the past half month, Gervis has been teaching the slave soldiers magic and practicing magic himself.
As the slave soldiers' fireball skills gradually matured, Gervis taught them the magic type that they were most compatible with.
What Gervis requires of these slave soldiers now is that they should be based on the faction with the strongest affinity, supplemented by fireball magic.
In addition to the slave soldiers, the girls in the medical team also cultivated their mental powers and became apprentice magicians during this period.
I don’t know if it’s because they are girls, but most of the medical team members’ magic is wood, water or even wind, but there are very few instructors of offensive magic like fire.
But this is exactly what Gevis wants. Anyway, he has never thought of letting these girls really go into the battlefield to kill the enemy. It is enough for them to save lives and heal the wounded.
After the girls became apprentice wizards, Caroline, a half-baked magician, was obviously no longer able to teach the girls.
Finally, Gervis found Weldon and asked him to teach the girls to practice magic.
After all, Welton's specialty is wood magic, so it's most appropriate for him to teach the girls in the medical team.
Welton is still a wizard. Even if some girls are water, wind, or even fire-type wizards, the knowledge of an apprentice wizard is just kindergarten knowledge to Welton. There is no factional barrier.
In addition to the slave soldiers and medical teams, Gervis's direct guards were not left behind.
Because he was eager to strengthen his men, Gervis spent another 500 energy points to configure strengthening potions, half of which were given to the direct guards in St. Ann City.
The rest is usually prepared by Gervis for the new recruits that will be recruited next.
Gervis is preparing to recruit another 2,000 members of his direct guards. The order has been passed down, and his father Gandalf will go to Eurasia in person to select them.
As for the training of this direct guard, Gervis plans to leave it to Laurie and Olde.
These two guard captains had followed Ike to Storm Territory, but now they had been idle in Storm Territory for too long, so Gervis was ready to activate them.
Moreover, the loyalty of the two is unquestionable, and it is much more convenient and reliable for Bigvis to train a few new people.
That was all there was to see in Saint Ann's City. During this time, Gervis had the rare opportunity to savor and enjoy the leisure time he had after becoming a lord.
Of course, Gervis is free here, but I heard that some holy city forces in the Holy Alliance are not idle.
I learned from a letter sent by Edward the day before yesterday that several areas occupied by humans in the west have been frequently harassed by orcs in recent days, and even several occupied small towns have been captured by orcs.
Regarding such things, the Holy Alliance of course united to question the Orcs, whether they wanted to provoke the Humans at this critical juncture and start a war between the Orcs and Humans.
The response we got was that the beastmen still had immense resentment.
I don’t know which despicable human holy city force sent out wizards to destroy a small town occupied by the orcs, and even slaughtered the 3,000 elite orcs inside.
Therefore, not only did the orcs have no intention of compromising, they also threatened the Holy Alliance, demanding that the Holy Alliance hand over the murderer who attacked the small town, otherwise they would not give up.
However, Edward and other city lords of the Holy City were very confused after hearing this. The city lords of the Holy Alliance immediately held a meeting to discuss which family had caused trouble at this critical juncture.
But naturally no one admitted it in the end, so Edward had no choice but to continue to speak out and say that this matter might be a conspiracy of the natives or the New Temple, so as to prevent the orcs from falling into the trap.
After all, although magicians are really exclusive to humans, the problem is that there are also many scrolls of forbidden spells. Who knows if the magic scrolls have fallen into the hands of some people with ulterior motives and deliberately provoked a war between the two races.
After repeated mediation, both sides finally agreed to restrain themselves temporarily and wait until the indigenous people in the Land of the Fallen Gods were dealt with before deciding anything else.
However, since this friction occurred, the originally peaceful relationship between the human race and the beastman race has become tense.
Several holy city forces adjacent to the Beastmen have stepped up their vigilance, and the Beastmen have also sent a large number of troops to guard against the human race.
After learning the news, Gervis had a strange expression on his face.
Because wasn't this exactly what he did? He didn't expect that in the end other Holy City forces would be blamed.
Of course, it would be a pity for me to die even if my friend dies. Gervis would naturally not stand up and admit such a thing, and he would even pretend that nothing had happened.
He immediately issued a gag order to Ik and several other people who knew the news. Although many people knew that he had left St. Ann a few days ago, only Ik and Caroline knew that he was heading to the western orc territory.
Gervis wasn't worried about their loyalty, but was worried that they would accidentally reveal it, which would be bad.
…
"Teacher! Why are you here?"
In a spacious mansion in St. Ann's City, Weldon was teaching the girls of the medical team to practice magic. When he saw Gervis coming, he immediately stood up respectfully and greeted Gervis.
"I just came to see Master Weldon. Sorry to bother you during this time!"
Gervis can now accept the control of Weldon, who is old enough to be his grandfather but is still respectful to him, because even if he is not used to it, Weldon will not change this attitude.
However, after following him out of the City of Hope, Welton did help him a lot.
First, he treated the wounded, then trained the medical team to identify the magic potions of the Holy Continent, and some time ago he helped prepare various recovery potions day and night for use as armaments, and now he is here to teach magic to the female rescue team members.
It can be said that Gervis, the nominal "mentor", never taught Welton anything, but Welton really did what an apprentice should do and worked hard without complaint.
"Teacher, please don't say that. Since I recognize you as my mentor, and the relationship between you and me as a master and disciple can be testified by everyone in the Holy Alliance, I have to do everything you arrange unconditionally! It's not a problem at all! You don't have to say anything polite to me!"
Weldon immediately retorted Gervais's polite words of thanks.
"well!"
When Gervis saw Weldon like this, he sighed in his heart. It seemed that he had to accept this apprentice whether he wanted to or not.
But he really didn't have anything to teach him. Gervis looked at Welton and thought for a moment before speaking.
"Welton, come with me!"
After saying that, Gervis came to the empty living room.
"Teacher, what can I do for you?"
Welton followed Gervais to the living room and asked Gervais with some surprise.
"Do you want to learn my potion-making skills by becoming my disciple?"
Gervais looked at Weldon and asked without hesitation.
"Yes! Mentor!"
Weldon did not deny it. The biggest reason why he recognized Gervis as his mentor was his skill in preparing top-grade potions, so he admitted it frankly!
"Well! Actually, my configuration method is not difficult to learn!"
"However... the requirements for learners are extremely high! There are probably only one or two people in the entire Holy Continent who meet the requirements!"
Gervis was not surprised that Weldon admitted it so directly, and he continued to speak immediately! "What is the request? Mentor!"
Weldon, who had felt a glimmer of anticipation before, suddenly became nervous.
When Gervis talked to him about these things, he had actually guessed that Gervis would most likely talk about teaching configuration techniques.
But now he has stated high requirements for learning, which frightens him and makes him worry whether he does not have the talent for it.
"Magic and martial arts dual cultivation!"
Gervis said slowly! "Practicing both magic and martial arts... this..."
Sure enough, the next moment Weldon's face turned pale. It was obvious that this requirement was indeed very high and was beyond his ability to achieve.
And perhaps, in this sacred continent, only his mentor can do it.
Seeing Weldon's disappointed look, Gervis was not trying to hit him, so he continued, "Weldon, do you know why I can practice fighting spirit and magic at the same time?"
"Teacher, isn't it natural for you to master both magic and martial arts?"
Weldon was puzzled! "Of course not!"
After hearing this, Weldon was shocked and his expression instantly became interesting.
"Let me tell you right now! In fact, I became a magician and martial artist because of a divine potion! A potion sent by the gods!"
Gervais said to Weldon with a very serious expression.
Weldon did not interrupt and continued to listen to Gervais.
"I got this divine potion by chance once in a teleportation channel. Besides that, I also got the formulas of those magical potions!"
"This... Teacher, did you really see the god? And it also gave you the formula of the god's potion and the magic potion?"
Although Weldon asked a question, he already believed it 80% in his heart.
When Gervis mentioned the divine potion earlier, Weldon hadn't reacted yet, but Gervis added a few magical potions.
As the person who knows the most about magic potions, he certainly knows how difficult it is to invent and prepare those magical potions, otherwise such potions would not have appeared for tens of thousands of years.
So, other than the most reasonable explanation that this potion was divinely bestowed, what other explanation could there be?
"Yes! Although I don't know which god that is, my achievements in potions are all due to his gift!"
Gervais nodded seriously.
"I see!"
Weldon felt that he had figured out a lot of things in an instant.
"The reason I'm telling you this is because I made a decision today!"
Gervais's eyes fell on Weldon, who stood respectfully.
When Weldon heard what Gervis said, his Adam's apple moved involuntarily, and hope appeared in his eyes.
"Although that god warned me not to teach the formula of the magic potion to anyone, the divine potion he gave me, which is the potion that can make people become both magic and martial arts practitioners, has never restricted it."
"There are two bottles of this divine potion. I took one myself, and I gave the other one to Caroline. Now there is only a little left!"
"As your mentor, I have decided to give you this last bit of God's Potion!"
As he spoke, Gervis took out half a tube of golden potion under Weldon's gaze, which had grown as wide as a snail.
This golden potion is actually a magical strengthening potion. Gervest deliberately added a lot of golden kiwi fruit.
This would just strengthen Welton's body and allow him to cultivate his fighting spirit, but he would only ever be able to reach the Silver Knight stage.
This can be regarded as a reward from Gervis for Welton's hard work during this period of time. It also serves as a formal recognition of Welton joining his team, whether as Master Welton or as a magic apprentice.
Gulp! Gulp! Looking at the golden potion in Gervis's hand, Weldon knew that Gervis would never make fun of him.
Although there was no spiritual light coming out of the golden potion, its beauty was countless times more beautiful and transparent than the magic potion, and he believed that this was the potion of God.
At this moment, Welton was so excited that he couldn't even utter the words of thanks. His whole body was shaking and he could only swallow his saliva continuously.
"Here, Welton! Drink it now!"
"Thank...thank you, instructor!"
Welton's eyes turned slightly red, and he uttered words of thanks with difficulty, then took the golden potion with trembling hands.
"Hey! Drink it now! Just return the bottle to me after you finish it!"
Seeing how excited Welton was, Gervis couldn't help but wonder if his lie was too big.
But he had no other choice. If he didn't blame the matter on the illusory gods, he would be in endless trouble if the news got out.
Dual cultivation of magic and martial arts! This is something that has never existed before in the Holy Continent. If people knew that it could be achieved through potions, it would definitely drive people crazy.
"Yes! Mentor!"
Weldon saluted respectfully, then opened the bottle cap of the potion, put it to his mouth and drank it.
Gulp!
As the potion entered his mouth, Weldon immediately discovered that it was different from other magical potions.
He also drank a potion that increased mental strength. Although the taste of that potion was also very good, it was far inferior to this 'God's potion'.
"Alright! Weldon, go back and rest now! I'll ask Ike to send you a manual on practicing Dou Qi later! When you have cultivated Dou Qi, I'll teach you how to make it!"
"Yes! Mentor!"
Weldon respectfully handed the empty bottle of potion to Gervis and agreed.
"Oh, by the way! Don't tell anyone about what happened today!"
Just as Weldon turned around, Gervais gave another instruction.
"Yes, Master! I will not reveal this to anyone. If you break your promise, you will be punished by the gods!"
Welton immediately agreed solemnly! After that, seeing Gervis nod, Welton left the mansion with a red face.
Thanks to "小生男乛" for the reward!!!
