"There are many ways to classify poisons, such as the most common one, which is based on the source and purpose."
Siebel took a piece of unknown branch, cut it with scissors, squeezed out the juice inside and continued.
"Natural ones include plant toxins, such as poisonous mushrooms, cassava, bitter almonds, ginkgo, etc..."
"Animal toxins, puffer fish, poisonous snakes, spiders, etc."
"There are also poisons extracted and condensed after birth, the most common of which are the pesticides used by farmers to weed and kill insects."
This is a laboratory in Adolf's manor, which is now used as a guest hall for pharmacy lectures.
Karl held a quill pen in his hand, nodded and took notes, and helped to deal with the medicinal materials from time to time.
"You have a good habit of taking notes."
Siebel picked up a glass bottle, gently shook the liquid inside, and praised:
"The mentor once said, never put down the pen and ink, they are better than your brain."
A good memory is not as good as a bad pen.
There are similar proverbs here.
"In addition to the classification just now, I prefer another one."
Siebel continued:
"Classification based on toxic effects."
"It can be roughly divided into blood poison, nerve poison, corrosive poison, enzyme poison..., so that the antidote can be more targeted."
As she said this, she handed over the test tube with half of the potion.
"Try it."
"This is the paralysis toxin I prepared. It can make a knight's squire stiff and lose the ability to resist in a short period of time."
??
Karl's face turned pale: "Really want me to try it?"
"Of course." Siebel took it for granted: "Learning the principles and combinations of potions, there is no better way than to try it yourself, and more attempts can also increase the body's resistance to poisons."
"It will be easier to learn the witchcraft 'toxin immunity' in the future."
"Okay." Karl sighed helplessly, forced down his uneasiness, took the poison and drank it.
He has tasted several potions in the past few days.
According to Siebel, this immersive experience has the highest learning efficiency, and it is also the style she learned from her mentor Adolf.
In just a few breaths, Karl felt his breathing was rapid and his body began to become stiff.
"How is it?"
Siebel smiled: "Do you feel it?"
Karl's face flushed, and he nodded with difficulty. At the same time, he staggered to the test bench and began to mix the potion.
Not long after, he drank the potion he mixed, and then his body softened and collapsed on the chair, panting wildly.
"Not bad!"
Siebel tapped his hands lightly.
"It seems that you have fully mastered the knowledge taught in class yesterday, and there was no mistake in mixing the potion under paralysis. I was going to help you get rid of the poison."
Karl was exhausted and unable to respond.
After a period of contact, he also had some understanding of Siebel's personality.
In essence, Siebel is a girl who is full of curiosity about the world, but because of her education, she is very cautious about the outside world.
So she is often very ignorant.
When you first meet her, you will feel that she is cold and keeps people at a distance, but it will be easy to get close to her when you get familiar with her.
After all, she is just a girl in her teens, how deep can her thoughts be?
"Dinglingling..."
The bell for the end of class rang.
Siebel stopped and smiled as he held out his hand:
"Today I have three classes in total, and two potion formulas, a total of twelve gold coins."
"Twelve?" Karl's face turned pale again. He was speechless for a long time, not knowing whether it was because the toxins in his body had not yet been cleared, or because he was frightened by this number.
Knowledge has a price.
After entering the world of wizards, he had the most profound feeling about this.
Even if he needed to attend classes, he had to pay for the potion formulas, and the prices of different formulas were different.
Moreover, even the materials consumed in class had to be paid for by himself.
In short, money was required everywhere.
Even if he brought back a lot of things from the other world, the gold coins he exchanged for were already consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He could only sigh.
"I'll bring it in two days."
"That's fine."
Thanks to his good reputation before, Siebel didn't care about his debts.
"Siebel."
The door of the classroom opened, and a beautiful woman walked in: "Your tutor has written to you, mentioning something very important, come and take a look."
Karl stood up and saluted: "Madam."
Catherine is Adolf's wife. In the semantics of the Gondor Kingdom, this name symbolizes purity.
Unlike the old Adolf, Catherine is not yet thirty, which is the best age for women, and she is extremely beautiful.
Among the many women Karl has seen, when it comes to beauty, he's afraid that only Lady Anne, who is popular among thousands of men, can compare with her.
"Karl."
Catherine nodded at him and said with a smile.
"Do you want to stay for dinner today?"
"No." Karl shook his head: "It will be too late to go back by then, and it will be unsafe on the road."
"You can stay." Catherine smiled: "There are many empty houses in the manor."
"No need to trouble." Karl still shook his head and refused.
"Okay then."
Catherine shrugged.
She was quite satisfied with Adolf's new disciple. He has always respected her.
Unlike Tim.
He looks very gentlemanly on the surface, but his eyes are very evil. He often secretly looks at her, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
…
Back at the residence, Jenny has already prepared the meal.
Her cooking skills were getting better and better.
Karl was not polite. His rent included food and laundry, which was normal in the Kingdom of Gondor.
In his Bedroom.
Karl packed up all the collected supplies, and then walked to the fragment of the Divine Domain.
"Finally..."
"I got the potion formula!"
These days, he followed Siebel to learn potions, one to master the knowledge, and the other for the formula.
The potion formula that uses dead spirit dust as the main raw material can increase the spiritual power of wizard apprentices.
Light of Wisdom!
This is the name of the formula.
The preparation of potions requires extremely strict requirements on the order, time, and proportion of materials.
The slightest mistake will cause the potion to fail at best, or explode or turn from a tonic into a poison at worst.
And precision is precisely Karl's specialty.
In the fragment of the Divine Domain, he can control his power exactly to ensure that there are no mistakes when preparing.
Moreover, if the preparation is in the fragment of the Divine Domain, the impact of the external environment can be minimized.
"Dilute 20% honey, mash purple lotus, and crystal fragments of top purity and weight of seven grams..."
Glassware, test tubes, oil lamps...
Various laboratory instruments were neatly arranged one by one.
"Puff!"
A cloud of black smoke came out, announcing the failure of the experiment, but Karl's face was unmoved.
Even if he had precise control over his own power, he was not familiar with the proportions of the potion.
It was very unlikely that the first preparation would succeed in one go.
Failure was inevitable.
He picked up a quill and recorded the experimental data on the side.
"Attempt two, increase the weight of the crystal fragments, delay the time of adding the dead spirit dust, and record the data."
"Puff!"
"Attempt three, process the purple lotus rhizome..."
"Bang!"
A ball of flame exploded, causing some utensils to break. Fortunately, Karl was prepared and bought spare parts in advance.
"Attempt thirty-seven, honey coagulation degree two, dead spirit dust quantity seven..."
"Da!"
As a few drops of liquid flowed into the test tube, Karl also understood why this potion was called the light of wisdom.
After the ground crystal was dissolved, it flickered with a faint light.
Gently shaking the test tube, it seemed to be shining with colorful lights, so beautiful that people could not help but indulge in it.
"Hmm..."
"It should be the effect of the dead dust. The light of the potion has a certain charm."
Putting down the test tube, Karl continued to do the experiment.
Soon.
"One part of dead dust can be used to prepare two parts of wisdom light. The other materials cost six gold pounds."
"Next..."
"Try the effect!"
