After a while, Adil stood in the training grounds in silence and waited for Elder to stop. He then quietly walked out of the training grounds.
Elder looked at Adil's back and hurriedly followed him to a small room at the side.
"Is there anything wrong with my body?"
Adil asked Elder as he sat on the wooden table.
He was recording some experimental data and checking for problems.
Although the A.I. Chip's detailed simulations of the improved Tyr Breathing Technique meant that there should be no problems in theory, it was normal for there to be some deviations in practice.
Once a problem arose, Adil would have to adjust the breathing technique to a certain extent and remove the parts that were not suitable.
"Looks like there shouldn't be any problems with the acolyte part."
Sitting on the chair and looking at the data recorded in his hands, Adil thought to himself, 'With Elder's current rate of improvement, he should be able to advance to a Knight in another half a year. At that time, I can experiment with the Knight part that the A.I. Chip deduced.'
The original Knights Breathing Technique only had the part for acolytes. After an acolyte broke through to a Knight, the effects of the Knights Breathing Technique would basically be over. If they wanted to improve after that, they could only train day and night and temper themselves in high-intensity battles.
The Tyr Breathing Technique that Adil deduced could, in theory, train Knights as well. However, the actual effects could only be seen through experiments.
"What a pity. It would be great if I could get a few Knight corpses. If I could use them to experiment, the Knights Breathing Technique would be perfected much faster."
Sitting where he was, Adil rubbed his head in distress.
After a while, he stood up and walked to the hall at the side.
There, Bagro was dressed in solemn traditional attire, waiting in Silence.
After hearing Adil's footsteps, he turned around and said respectfully to Adil, "My Lord, you've come."
Hearing his words, Adil nodded and looked at the wooden table in front of him.
On the wooden table in front of him, there were many kinds of fruits scattered on the table. There was only one of each kind, and they were placed on the table in Silence.
"My Lord, we've sent people to purchase these during this period of time. There are more than two hundred of them in total."
Looking at the fruits on the wooden table, Baglu explained, "We've sent out many batches of people. Some of them have gone to further places to purchase the fruits. It will take them two or three days to rush back."
"Next time, don't just collect the fruits, but also the stems, leaves, roots, and branches of those fruit trees."
Looking at Baglu, Adil instructed, "I remember that not long ago, our orchard recruited some experts in this field. You can ask the purchasing team to bring them along."
After listening to Adil's words, Baglu was somewhat puzzled. However, he still nodded in the end.
After a while, Adil gestured for him to leave, leaving him alone.
Looking at the fruits on the wooden table, he reached out and picked up a red dried fruit that looked like a tangerine. He placed it in his mouth and took a light bite.
An intense bitterness spread from the corner of his mouth. The strong taste made Adil have the urge to throw the fruit in his hand away.
[Flesh of wild Red Reservoir Fruit. Consumption can cause diarrhea and vomiting. Eating it again after steaming can produce a partial bactericidal effect …] The A.I. Chip's mechanical voice continuously sounded in his mind.
Listening to the A.I. Chip's prompt, Adil put down the red fruit in his hand without changing his expression. Then, he used a small knife to cut open the flesh, revealing the black fruit core inside.
[Flesh of wild Red Reservoir Fruit, mixed with Nilai Grass and cooked. Consumption can produce a weak awakening effect.]
After tossing the black fruit core into his mouth and chewing, the A.I. Chip's mechanical voice sounded in his mind once again.
Listening to the A.I. Chip's prompt, Adil's expression did not change. He continued to pick up the next material from the wooden table.
An hour later, after Adil had tried all the materials in front of him, he stood up.
"A.I. Chip, store the information of the materials I just tested into the database. Try to compare them with the formulas of a few potions."
Standing on the spot, he ordered the A.I. Chip in his mind.
The scene in front of him had been happening every day for the past few days.
In order to enrich the A.I. Chip's database and provide it with more basic information for its analysis, Adil had to try out all kinds of materials every day, allowing the A.I. Chip to analyse the rough properties of these materials.
After a few months, he had reaped some rewards. Not only had he found some common materials that could replace high-grade medicinal ingredients, he had also successfully deduced the formula for a Cold Resistance Potion through a large amount of analysis.
According to the grade of Magus potions, this Cold Resistance Potion was only a basic potion. However, most of the materials needed were common materials that mortals could use. The few materials that required Magi to cultivate were also common medicinal ingredients that could be bought with a few gold coins. The cost was very low.
The effect of this potion was simple. Just drinking one portion would increase the body's resistance to cold for a long period of time. It was just right for an environment like the Kingdom of Komodo.
Adil tried to sell this potion in his own potion shop. Although it was only a diluted version, it was still very popular with many nobles in the city.
"Looking at the time, the gathering that Mokra mentioned should be in a few days."
Standing on the spot, Adil suddenly thought.
In these three months, Adil had maintained a certain amount of contact with Alder. They often exchanged information through letters.
A while ago, Alder had invited Adil to participate in the gathering of local apprentices. It was almost time.
"I hope I can get something when the time comes," Adil thought to himself as he looked outside.
Three days later.
In the early morning, Adil walked out of the manor with Elder and a few other guards.
This time, he did not sit in a carriage. Instead, he rode at the front of the group.
After more than three months, the Kingdom of Komodo had entered winter.
The winter here was much colder than in other places. Many places outside had already frozen over, and the cold air was constantly rising.
Despite this, Adil was still dressed the same as before. He only had a long black robe draped over his body. In this environment, it did not seem to be of much use against the cold.
However, his complexion was normal. There were no signs of cold on his face.
This was not a rare sight in the city of Ancient Armor.
After Adil developed the cold-resistant potion, many nobles simply wore summer clothes during winter hunts in order to make it easier for them to hunt. Compared to these people, Adil's behavior was still normal.
After walking for a while, Adil and the others arrived outside the city.
Not long after, they arrived at a manor outside. There were already a few people waiting there.
Inside the manor, familiar waves of magic came from it, allowing Adil to confirm his location.
He released the magic waves on his body and walked in with the others.
"Adil, you're early."
Sensing the magic waves, a person wearing a thick black robe walked out from the manor. It was Mokra.
Beside Mokra stood an old man with a long white beard. He wore a red robe and also gave off obvious magic waves.
"Let me introduce you." Looking at Adil, Mokra pointed at the white-bearded man and said, "This is Sillar, a level 2 apprentice."
After introducing the white-bearded man, he turned to Adil and said, "This is Adil, also a level 2 apprentice."
After introducing each other, they walked into the manor and conversed in a warm room.
"The other two have some matters to attend to and may come later."
After entering the room, Mokra looked at Adil and said.
Just as he spoke, a wave of magic waves suddenly appeared outside, seemingly approaching.
"Oh, looks like they're already here," the white-bearded Sillar said loudly.
They did not have to wait for long. Very soon, footsteps could be heard from outside, and two apprentices walked in.
One was a female apprentice who was about 30 years old and wore a white robe, while the other was a somewhat skinny, middle-aged apprentice.
After introducing each other, Adil quickly found out their names. The female apprentice who was about 30 years old was called Aishael, while the skinny, middle-aged apprentice was called Sid.
"Alright, since everyone is here and the introductions are almost complete, let's begin."
Looking at Adil and the others, the white-bearded Sillar spoke, his loud voice deafening.
Hearing this, the other acolytes nodded in agreement.
"Since I'm the one who called this meeting, I'll go first."
Sitting in front of a large wooden table, Mokra put on a metal mask and spoke first.
He took out a blooming black flower from his pocket. It looked a bit flirtatious and seemed to have a mystical charm, causing people to involuntarily look at the flower.
"This is … Flower of Undead Souls?"
Adil was taken aback when he saw the black flower, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Eh, you recognize it?" Hearing Adil's words, Mokra looked at him in surprise, "Flower of Undead Souls is very difficult to nurture, even I can only nurture one after many years. I didn't expect you to recognize it."
"I just happen to recognize it." A smile appeared on Adil's face. Then, he took a deep look at Mokra with an inexplicable look.
Flower of Undead Souls was an extremely rare material. If used directly, it could directly increase one's spiritual force. It was a very precious material for Wizards.
This material also had another use, which was to be one of the raw materials for the Undead Potion. Although it was not the main material, it was still an important supplementary material.
However, what left the deepest impression on Adil was the method of nurturing this material.
According to the records, the nurturing of Flower of Undead Souls required the watering of human blood that was filled with hatred and pain. In order to fulfill this requirement, a living person had to be continuously tortured using extremely cruel methods for tens of days, and in the end, only a bit of pure hatred and pain could be obtained. It would take at least a year for a Flower of Undead Souls to bloom.
