Arcane Lord

After a moment, Elise stood up suddenly, said "here", then opened an inscribed box on the bookshelf behind her, and took out a small, shiny bottle with a narrow mouth.

After handing the bottle to Sha Duo, Elise did not let go, but reminded, "Negative energy erosion is very stubborn. Use all of this bottle of purification potion and don't think about saving it for next time!"

"yes."

Xia Duo responded, and then he felt the lightness of the bottle in his hand. He put the bottle away, expressed his gratitude again, and then left.

…

After leaving Elise's study, Shado avoided the pity and probing eyes of other mission team members and went straight back to "Mecard"'s room in the base.

"call--"

Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed, thinking that he finally got through it. Of course, he knew very well that Elise might not believe him.

But no matter what, this first step was finally passed smoothly.

The next moment, Xia Duo "sit" up from the bed, took out the bottle of purifying potion that Elise gave him and looked at it carefully. The bottle was just an ordinary glass bottle, but the potion inside was extraordinary in appearance.

At first glance, it looks like a glowing translucent liquid. When shaken a little, it has a colloid-like viscosity. However, under the magical vision, a large part of the light of this purification potion comes from the tiny runes looming in the liquid.

Of course, it is somewhat inappropriate to say runes. In fact, it is the energy release phenomenon displayed by certain combinations of the magic network strings mapped into the potion matrix.

Shado also tried making magic potions at the Tower of Time, but he found that preserving magic through a liquid matrix was more unstable than a scroll. Apart from a lower threshold for use, there were no more benefits.

Therefore, he simply gave up researching the production of magic potions.

Now that he saw this bottle of purification potion, Xia Duo was really touched. As for the magic contained in this bottle, he couldn't see it yet and couldn't study it.

The potion is too unstable, and a little more careful observation may cause it to deteriorate. In addition, this bottle of purifying potion also has a lot of positive energy incorporated into it, which is also a major reason for its glow.

Ignoring the magic contained in it, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bottle of highly concentrated holy water.

As for how to use the purification potion, Sha Duo has already obtained it from Elise. It's very simple, just drink it.

Of course, ordinary potions cannot be drunk directly. The liquid matrix used to preserve magic often contains toxic substances. Just shaking it vigorously can activate the magic. If you drink it, you may die directly.

The base of this bottle of purifying potion does not contain toxic ingredients and can be drank directly. This is also to make full use of its holy water properties.

Xia Duo uncorked the bottle, brought the mouth of the bottle to the tip of his nose, and sniffed lightly. Perhaps the manufacturer wanted to make it easier for the user to drink it directly. This purifying potion did not have the pungent smell of ordinary magic potions. Instead, it smelled like a plant. The freshness makes people want to take a sip.

And that's exactly what he did!

The bottle was not big, about two hundred milliliters. Xia Duo picked up the bottle and poured it into his mouth. Before he could even feel the taste of the gelatinous purifying potion, the side of his body that had been eroded by negative energy suddenly burst out with a burst of energy. Severe stinging pain.

"ah--"

Xia Duo gritted his teeth and tried not to let out a cry, but the painful moans still squeezed out from between his teeth. The next moment, there was a pop and the empty bottle in his hand had been crushed by him.

The blood instantly stained his palms red, but Xia Duo could no longer care about the minor injury. He grabbed the sheets on the bed, bit them in his mouth, and let out a muffled groan.

The half of the body that had no feeling before now has feelings, but the feeling is not wonderful. Instead, it feels like being in purgatory, being bitten by countless evil ghosts.

…

I don’t know how much time passed, but Xia Duo suddenly felt no pain. The contrast in this moment almost made him ascend to heaven. He was breathing heavily, and his sweat had soaked a large area of ​​the sheets under him through his clothes. .

"Haha, I really suffered!"

Although the feeling in various parts of the body has returned, Xia Duo does not want to move at all now, and continues to lie like this for an unknown amount of time until his stomach begins to protest.

He struggled to sit up from the bed, but the next moment, he hissed and took a breath of cold air.

When I raised my hand, I saw that the hand that crushed the bottle had completely healed, but the problem was that there were still some glass shards healed in the skin.

Whenever I move, it hurts terribly.

Fortunately, after just going through the pain of purifying negative energy erosion, Xia Duo was now a little numb to this small pain. He calmly took out an adamantine knife and opened the healed epidermis.

In the bloody mess, he fumbled to pick out the glass residue one by one, and then directed positive energy to gather at the wound, and did not stop until the wound stopped bleeding.

Although his own healing ability is not enough to cure "terminal diseases" such as negative energy erosion, if it is just a few minor wounds, it will not be a problem for him.

…

In this way, Xia Duo had been recuperating in the branch base for three days before he basically recovered. During these three days, in addition to exchanging some information with another task team, he stayed in the room and became familiar with "McCard". Method of casting spells.

The high-level mages from the [Revenge Trial Department] don't have many spells, but they all have their own characteristics, and almost all of them are related to tasks.

Either running away, communicating, or killing efficiently, nothing else.

The headquarters base academy teaches mostly the principles of spells. As for specific spells, very few are taught, but any spells you want can be exchanged with mission points.

Of course, the Vengeance Judgment Department does not restrict the communication between members, but few people will share for free, and it requires fewer points than exchanging from the Vengeance Judgment Department, or a promise to assist in the mission.

"Mekkad" is a newcomer. He has only been on a few missions, and he is the only one left in the mission team. "Mekkad" does not master many spells, which is easier for Shado to imitate.

Even the word "imitation" is not accurate.

The Arcane Empire of the projection plane has been greatly influenced by several mysterious great sages who are suspected to be visitors from the main plane during its development. Its mainstream spellcasting methods and styles are almost the same as those of Netheril.

Shado only needs to be familiar with a few spells mastered by "Mekkad" to avoid being exposed when doing missions with others later.

With all of "Meccad's" memories, this level of familiarity would take three days for a senior arcanist with fairly good spellcasting skills.

If necessary, he could even imitate some of Meccad's habitual mistakes in casting spells.

Of course, these can also be ignored, after all, people will improve and mistakes can be eliminated.
