Chapter 115 113 Promoted to second grade, herbalist
Chapter 115 113. Promoted to second grade, herbalist
Black Amber suddenly fell silent.
After a while, she said:
"Anyway, I have never heard that the Demon King is sealed in the academy. But even if I am a professor, it is impossible for me to know all the secrets of the academy. I will start from this aspect and launch an investigation, including consulting the principal."
After a brief silence, Black Amber brought the topic back:
"Child, you have provided very crucial information, and I will reward you."
"Okay, okay, reward!" The split soul that looked like a wind chime jumped up.
"Wait a moment," Black Amber noticed something was wrong and asked one more question just to be on the safe side, "Are you representing Russell now, or are you representing Russell's contracted spirit - Wind Chime yourself?"
"Myself." The wind chime-like spirit was gone, but because it had just left the ground, it was suspended in the air.
Black Amber was speechless for a moment and explained:
"I said that to Russell just now. I mean, I will give Russell a reward."
The wind chimes angrily waved their fists in protest:
"What do you mean, you don't give me a reward? I was put in danger and risked my life to eavesdrop on the cultists' conversations! Do you know how thrilling and dangerous the scene was? If I were discovered, I would be dead. !”
"Uh..." Professor Black Amber tilted his head. He wanted to say that you were dead, but he still didn't say it.
"Okay, Wind Chime, what reward do you want?"
Feng Chime thought hard for a while before replying:
"I want to scare others and draw strength from other people's fearful emotions. Oh, by the way, at Russell's suggestion, I am now trying to make a horror short film. But the response is not as good as I expected. This one involves real female ghosts It's a ghost movie, isn't it scary enough..."
Black Amber patted the desk patiently, listened to the wind chime complaining, and then slowly said:
"So, Feng Chime, you mean...the school needs to help you shoot a horror film?"
…
Russell himself arrived at Professor Black Amber's private office.
"Russell, you should know why I called you here today, right?"
"Of course I know." Russell nodded vigorously, with a faint smile on his lips, looking calm and confident.
"Are you here to discuss with me the school's future plan to assist me and Feng Chime in filming a horror film?"
"Uh, uh, uh, no..." Professor Black Amber was a little surprised, "Actually, what I want to say is that I helped you get the knowledge scroll for the second grade in advance. You can be promoted to the second grade and learn 'Herbology' .”
"Of course, we can also discuss the shooting of horror movies, but let's talk about it later." Professor Black Amber added out of rigor.
As he spoke, Black Cat patted the bell on his neck.
Amidst the jingling of bells, the desk drawer opened on its own, and an emerald-green, slightly glowing scroll floated in the air toward Russell.
——Of course, from the perspective of spiritual vision turned on by Russell's mind, this scene is not so magical. It was just a ghost with a crooked neck who opened the drawer and handed the scroll to Russell.
"Thanks."
After receiving the scroll that exuded a faint emerald light, Russell did not rush to absorb the power of the scroll. Instead, he took out 30 college gold coins from his dimensional pocket and handed it to Professor Black Amber.
"This is the tuition and textbook fees for the second grade."
As a result, Russell only had about 2 college gold coins left on hand, and he became poor again.
In order to get closer to Russell, the son of prophecy, Black Amber joked with a smile:
"You seem to have become poor again now? Are you heartbroken? My child."
Children from ordinary families like this, who worked so hard to collect tuition fees and teaching material fees, and then all was empty overnight, must be quite emotional in their hearts...
"I don't feel bad, I made a profit." Russell looked calm.
"Why?" Black Amber asked doubtfully.
Russell briefly explained the logic:
"According to my simple knowledge of economics and what I have learned in the past few months, the actual market price of the second-year knowledge scroll is definitely not only 30 college gold coins, but between 30 and 60 college gold coins.
"The college is willing to sell the second-year scrolls to us at a cheap price, mainly because if you want to be promoted to the second grade, teaching fees and teaching material fees are not enough. Other conditions are also required. For example, at least 30 bonus credits must be collected.
“In order to collect enough reward credits, students’ classroom performance alone is far from enough. They must help the college with tasks and work for free.
"In other words, the price of part of the second-year scroll is actually paid when I do the tasks and collect the credits. If I fail to be promoted to the second grade in the end, or the reward credits accumulated far exceed the requirements for promotion to the grade, these credits Just wasted.
“But now that I have successfully advanced, I have no losses and even made a profit.
“In a sense, students who never advance to the second grade but accumulate bonus credits, or who accumulate bonus credits far beyond what is needed for promotion, are unknowingly and absolutely compliant. , paid part of the cost of this scroll on my behalf. Of course, most of these hidden benefits were earned by the academy, but judging from the dialectic, I did not enjoy it at all.
"It's like, when I see an elevator advertisement in a hotel elevator, I think that those people who made impulse purchases because they saw the advertisement have actually paid for part of my hotel stay..."
"Stop it, stop it." Black Amber stopped Russell from rambling.
Even after being in contact with Russell for so long, she still couldn't get used to Russell's brain circuitry.
Russell unhurriedly unfolded the "Herbology" scroll and read it carefully.
He seemed to have gone back to more than five months ago, when he saw the scroll of spiritualism in his first psychic class. But now the boy is much better than he was half a year ago.
As Russell read, the mysterious and obscure symbols and words on the scroll broke away from the scroll and floated in the air. They poured into Russell's eyes one after another and implanted themselves in his soul and heart.
Russell closed his eyes, a slight drop of sweat appeared on his forehead, his body and mind seemed to be immersed in a storm, trying hard to accept the knowledge and magic rolling in his brain.
The level of power and knowledge contained in the second-grade scrolls is much greater than that of the first-grade scrolls.
If he hadn't been half a second grade spiritual master, this wave of spirituality would have washed him away!
real world.
The original emerald-green scroll became empty because all the knowledge on it ran away. The color also changed to monotonous pure white and became waste paper.
Russell sat on a wooden chair with his eyes half-closed. He rested for almost half an hour before he basically digested the knowledge and power contained in the scroll and opened his eyes again.
Now he probably has just finished reading dozens of books, and his mind is filled with complicated pharmacological knowledge. To master this knowledge and apply it skillfully, it takes a long time of practice.
Much of the knowledge in the second-grade scrolls is based on the knowledge of first-grade psychics. If Russell had not mastered first-grade psychics before, he would have learned many basic occult knowledge and witchcraft principles. Such vast and majestic new knowledge will probably cause him a lot of mental problems.
It turns out that the knowledge in the scrolls of each grade is based on the previous grade, which means that you cannot skip a grade and absorb higher-level knowledge scrolls... Russell has a better understanding of the academy's specialty, the knowledge scroll.
In addition to the supernatural knowledge itself, the magic power contained in the scroll also promoted Russell's spiritual cultivation level from the half-step second-year level to the early second-year level!
Russell is now a second-year powerhouse, and can be called an elite transcendent in the junior college.
He rubbed his sore temples and roughly sorted out the knowledge contained in the herbalism scroll.
Slightly different from what Russell initially guessed, the pharmacological knowledge of herbalism is not limited to "herbal medicine" in the general sense, but a set of pharmacological operation logic based on the principles of witchcraft.
Minerals, plants, animals, and even man-made objects can be used as medicine.
Its core logic is "complementing form with form", emphasizing the symbolic meaning of medicinal materials at the conceptual level rather than their chemical properties.
For example, carrots are used in preparing night vision potion - this may be related to the effect of carrots in treating night blindness and the fact that carrot slices resemble eyes. Russell also suspected that this was related to the setting of the game "Minecraft".
Similarly, the juice of bloodroot is red, so it can be used to treat blood diseases; saxifrage can crush the surrounding rocks during its growth, so it can improve kidney stones; the seeds of comfrey are shaped like poisonous snakes and can be used to treat blood diseases. It can be used to cure snake venom and can be used to prepare poison.
In addition to treating conventional diseases, Russell also knows how to prepare a variety of secret medicines, which requires the use of different supernatural and ordinary materials, and the material cost is not low. During the preparation process, you also need to inject your own spiritual energy to make these extraordinary potions truly effective.
Typical secret potions include invisibility potion, night vision potion, flying potion, poison potion, healing potion, etc.
In addition, this pharmacological knowledge can not only be used to prepare secret medicines, but can also be used to perform evil magic.
For example, Professor Black Amber mentioned the "Method of Transferring Misfortune" before. After drinking the potion and pouring out the dregs, diseases, misfortunes, toxins and curses can be transferred to enemies who step on the dregs.
For example, using human bones, toads, pufferfish, and poisonous plants, you can create a poison that transforms the user into a voodoo zombie that consumes itself. Similar to the methods of Haitian wizards. Russell suspected that this was the precursor to the genuine ability of the undead and life systems to control the dead.
For example, a charm that can make one person fall in love with another person. The subject needs to take medicated powder mixed with another person's nails and eyelashes to make the subject fall in love with that person.
They are all quite evil!
Of course, what Russell now possesses is only the basic knowledge of performing such evil spells. If he wants to be truly proficient in these spells, he will need to practice for a long time.
In addition, Russell's psychic vision has also been enhanced. In addition to being able to see ghosts and some normally invisible spirits, when concentrating on observing a person, he can also observe the general physiological state of the human body and know whether the target is sick and where the disease is. location.
This seems to mean that there is a correlation and a unique internal logic between the entire necromancy and life major courses.
Because of the improvement in spiritual cultivation level, Russell's original psychic skills have also been strengthened, and he can also have a second contract spirit.
Seeing that Russell had basically digested the knowledge, Professor Black Amber said:
"Russell, you should have noticed that the knowledge of herbalism contains a lot of evil-looking elements. These skills are denounced as evil magic and regarded as taboo in many cultures."
