Swamp Tide Spider was a special kind of magical insect. It was only a level-2 monster, but it was still highly sought after by many wizards.
Wizards who were good at manipulating insects liked Swamp Tide Spiders because of their venom, which was extremely sticky and difficult to neutralize.
Other wizards liked Swamp Tide Spiders because of the magical plant they grew with, called Bewildering Vine.
The reason why Bewildering Vines were loved by Adepts wasn't because they were magical plants, but because the sap of Bewildering Vines could be used as a hormone inducer, and the concentration was not low either.
Salomone was a pleasant pheromone released by the brain, which could improve one's mood. In short, a salomone inducer was a special ingredient that could induce the brain to release salomone.
There were three natural salomone inducers in the wizarding world: Mana Algae Powder, Black Charm Tea, and Bewildering Vine Juice.
Due to their natural properties, these three types of salomone inducers had fewer side effects compared to the perfumes or other salomone drugs that were made later on.
This was why Bewildering Vine was so popular among wizards.
However, Bewildering Vine was much rarer than Mana Algae Powder and Black Charm Tea. If one could find a Swamp Tide Spider, he or she would definitely find a Bewildering Vine. Hence, in ancient times, large numbers of Magi had gone out of their way to hunt down Swamp Tide Spiders. After so many years, even if they had restrained themselves, the number of Swamp Tide Spiders had dwindled. Hence, the production of Bewildering Vines had declined.
"I didn't expect to see a Swamp Tide Spider here. I remember when I left Fey Continent a few years ago, there was hardly any news about Swamp Tide Spiders. Every time someone found one, he or she would earn a lot of money." Eureka sighed. She had been in Grue Town for several years now, and she didn't expect to see a Swamp Tide Spider so close to her.
"If you like the Swamp Tide Spider, I can catch one for you later." Thewis turned to Eureka and said.
Eureka shook her head in disgust. "Nah, I don't like them. But I can always sell them."
While they were talking, Angor was thinking about Thewis' words.
Thewis was trying to say that Leon was poisoned by a Swamp Tide Spider. It was equivalent to having a bomb buried in his body. Once the poison exploded, with his mortal body, he would die almost instantly.
The Bewildering Vine Juice was the reason why the poison didn't go off yet. Bewildering Vine was a magical plant associated with Swamp Tide Spider. To some extent, Bewildering Vine Juice could suppress the poison, but it couldn't detoxify it.
Because the Marsh Tide Spider loved to eat live food, its food reserves maintained this strange balance between the poison of the Tide Spider and the Bewildering Vine Sap. First, it prevented the prey from dying from its poison, and second, the Bewildering Vine Sap prevented the prey from waking up.
If he did that, he would break the balance between the Tide Spider's poison and the Bewildering Vine juice, which would trigger the poison inside Leon's body.
Therefore, he had to get rid of the poison in Leon's body as soon as possible before getting rid of the Bewildering Vine.
He tried to cast an antidote spell, but before he could, Thewis warned him, "The Tide Spider's venom is very sticky. If you can't get rid of it completely, it'll activate the venom."
Angor quickly stopped and looked at Thewis.
Thewis continued, "The Tide Spider's poison is difficult to expel, and it also has the property of nothingness. If you're not careful, it can easily cause it to erupt. With Lyon's physique, as long as there is a trace of poison left, there is no chance of survival. "
"How do I do that?" Angor frowned. He did not know much about bugs, and even less about poisons.
"To dispel the Tide Spider's poison, we need a specific medicine." Theus paused for a moment. "At the moment, the Night Spider Antidote is the most suitable. Although this antidote isn't too precious, it's rarely used. You'll need to find a specialist to make it."
A helpless expression appeared on Thewis' face.
The Tide Spider's poison had no effect on official Magi. It was impossible for them to have the antidote on them.
Angor's expression froze for a second when he heard "Tide Spider Antidote". He seemed to have thought of something.
Eureka clicked her tongue. "Even if the Bewildering Vine can suppress the Tide Spider's poison, it won't last long. If you don't find the antidote within two days, the poison will erupt even with the Bewildering Vine."
Eureka looked at Thewis. "How about you open a plane passageway to the Fey Continent and see if there's anyone selling the antidote?"
Eureka knew that Thewis liked Lyon a lot, which was why he suggested this. However, she also knew that the cost of opening a plane passageway was extremely high. No matter how much Thewis liked Lyon, he would never go out of his way to open a plane passageway just for Lyon.
What Eureka didn't know was that Thewis would never open a plane passageway for Lyon if it was just for Lyon. But now, Angor was Lyon's backer, which was something worth considering.
If Angor owed him a favor, it would definitely cost more than the materials required to open a plane passageway.
Thewis's hesitation surprised Eureka, who came up with the idea. Judging from Thewis' attitude, was he really going to open a plane passageway? Did he really care about Lyon that much?
Thewis suddenly spoke to Angor, "If you don't have any other ideas, I can help you go to Floating Mech City."
Eureka was confused. Why was Thewis talking to Angor like he was trying to negotiate with him?
An official Adept was using a negotiating tone with an Apprentice Adept?
What happened between Thewis and Angor?
Eureka already found it strange that Thewis came back together with Angor, and he sounded so familiar with Angor. There must be something going on between them.
Even Thewis' puppet didn't know who Angor was.
Eureka studied Angor from head to toe and couldn't help but feel puzzled. A space bracelet, a luxurious airship, a large amount of potions, and a Demeter.
The more she looked at Angor, the more curious she became.
Eureka decided to ask Thewis about Angor through Voice Transmission. Judging from Thewis' attitude, Eureka believed that Thewis knew something about Angor.
Before Eureka could ask, Angor spoke first. "Thank you, Mister Thewis, but not for now. If it's just an antidote, I can give it a try. "
While speaking, Angor took out a scroll with a green cover and began reading it.
You can give it a try? Eureka wondered. Eureka turned to Thewis and asked with an emotionless face. Was he trying to make the antidote for the Tidal Spider?
Thewis didn't notice the change in Eureka's expression. Instead, he nodded with a hint of regret. "That would be great."
Thewis thought that Angor might not be an expert in Apothecary because he only knew Tooling. But now, it seemed that Angor knew a thing or two about Apothecary as well. It seemed that saving Leon and earning a favor from Angor was no longer an option.
Eureka had been paying attention to Thewis's expression the whole time. She noticed a hint of regret on Thewis's face, which confused her even more.
Angor knew alchemy? Why did Thewis admit that Angor knew how to do it?
Eureka looked at Angor again and saw a familiar name on the cover of the scroll in Angor's hand.
"Mithra's … Alchemy Handbook?" Eureka's voice trembled when she read the name.
Thewis also noticed the name of the book in Angor's hand and looked surprised. "I didn't know Angor was friends with a Master Apothecary. He even gave his book to him. Maybe I can ask him for help when I need to learn alchemy."
Thewis muttered the last sentence under his breath. Angor was too focused on the notebook to hear it, but Eureka did.
Eureka knew that Thewis knew a thing or two about Apothecary, but not much about it. Back then, she had told Ashen Time's commander that if she didn't have any potions, she could trade them for materials because she wanted Thewis to help her refine some low-rank potions.
But now, Thewis was asking for help!
"Maybe I can ask Angor for help when I need to learn alchemy?"
Eureka didn't know what to say. Did Thewis just admit that Angor was better at alchemy than him?
"You're saying he's better than you?" Eureka used Voice Transmission to ask Thewis, "You're saying he's better than you?"
"You didn't know Angor knows alchemy?" Thewis looked at Eureka with a confused look. "Angor told me he went back to Padt Manor half a year ago. I thought you already knew about him. Angor knows alchemy, but I don't know how good he is at Apothecary. However, his achievements in the field of metallurgy and metallurgy are frighteningly high. "
Seeing that Angor was still reading the scroll, Thewis decided to tell Eureka more about Angor.
"Rumor has it that Angor almost created a Mystery item. But Lady Isabelle of Dark Castle intercepted half of his Mystery Spirit, which prevented him from becoming a Mystery Alchemist." Thewis sighed. "I didn't believe it at first. But Lady Isabelle didn't deny it, and the alchemy community also confirmed it. So the rumor is true. "
"Because of this, many people called Angor 'Half-Mystic' due to jealousy, pity, or envy."
