The Eternal In The Magic World

Chapter 17: The Dark Blue Potion

Rias came to invite Harold, and after that, they made small talk before leaving.

Instead, Harold looked at his back as he left, then turned around and left with HermaN.

Nothing should happen during the hunt.

However, even if something were to happen, he was confident that he could solve it.

“Harold, it's hunting. That must be very interesting!” Said Herman excited after he left.

Hunting was actually a small matter, but sneaking into the Count's family banquet would definitely make his father think about it a lot, which was the reason why he was so excited.

“Herman, our teacher taught that no matter what happens we must remain calm.” Seeing Herman's somewhat red face, Harold reminded him.

The nobles, especially the lower status ones like the Herman family, would always yearn to rise higher. Even if it was just a small chance, it was extremely valuable to them.

‘Power and reputation?’

Harold Sighed inwardly.

In his eyes, fame, wealth, and power were nothing more than an attic built from the clouds in the sky. With the wind of time, they would all simply vanish, and there was no point in chasing after them.

However, it was clear Herman was unwilling to listen to her, so he could only wait for her to return to normal.

“Sorry, I'm a little too happy now.” After some time, Herman realized that his behavior was inappropriate and apologized.

“No problem!” Harold shook his head, and the two of them continued forward. They split up in the corridor and went to work.

…

On the first floor of the library, forgetting about the hunting matter, Harold put on his work uniform and organized his books while thinking of other things that were more important.

For example, he can meditate on his spiritual power, study spells, and perform extraordinary experiments.

Three years had changed a lot in Harold.

His spiritual strength had already reached 6.0, while his physical fitness was at 1.3.

Compared to three years ago, his spiritual power increased by 1.5, an average of 0.5 per year. Whereas, three years ago, the average increase of 0.05 per month for a few months was supposed to be 0.6 per year, but in reality it was only 0.5.

It was not that Harold was not working hard, it was just that the total amount of his spiritual power was increasing, the growth speed of his Spiritual Strength was decreasing. Otherwise, his spiritual power should be around 6.3 by now.

The improvement in physical fitness has nothing to do with meditation. It was just that he had been training for the past three years, so his physical fitness had improved naturally.

“My spiritual strength growth is still too slow.” Although he did not care much about time, this was a dangerous world, and it was better to be as strong as possible.

Saleen's notes have actually noted several things related to increased mental strength.

There are two main ways. One was meditating, which was the normal way, and the other was through magic herbs.

There is no need to detail meditation, while magic medicine refers to drugs that can stimulate an increase in mental strength. Saleen's notes have a mental strength drug formula.

The potion was called a dark blue potion. It's a potion for interns. It was extremely effective for Level-1 and above apprenticeships. It could greatly increase the speed of the witch meditation.

The effect was very tempting for Harold. He had prepared to make it some time ago, and everything was ready.

The only problem was that Harold was unable to find the material at all.

The ingredients are specialties from elsewhere. In the city of Junlin, Harold had only met a few of them. He had only found some unimportant ingredients.

“Maybe I have to find some ingredients to replace that precious one?”

Harold hesitated a little. Although he was envious of the effects of the complete potion, he was in Jun Lin City, and there were many things he could not find. If he could replace some materials, it seemed like a good choice.

Even if the new potion only had a portion of the effect of the original potion, it was enough to accelerate Harold's growth of spiritual power.

Of course, this is only one aspect. In fact, increasing one's strength does not necessarily require an increase in mental strength. Weapons are also an aspect. If Harold could make a magician weapon, he could also increase some of his strength. However, similar to the previous situation, he could not find a suitable material.

“As expected, being poor is an important condition that limits strength growth.”

Harold did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, after thinking for a moment, he had already thought about what materials he wanted to use to replace them. He just needed to buy the ingredients and then conduct an experiment.

And this step requires more money.

After all is said and done, it is still a matter of money.

Although the salary of a librarian is not low, it is still difficult to meet all the needs of a Mage. His salary was basically spent on Mage experiments, and now he only had a few dozen silver tar left.

“I want to know if it is enough?”

Harold pursed his lips and decided to go and take a look after work.

It was already noon when he was done with all his work. He packed up and left.

After passing through several streets, Harold arrived at the market and walked into a shop selling herbs.

…

“If you want all this, it should be about three gold tarl.”

“What? so expensive?”

After a simple negotiation, Harold learned the approximate price to buy the materials he was looking for, which was far from his current ability.

“Master, I must remind you that some plants here are very rare. It is very difficult to buy it without an acquaintance.” The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man.

“Is that so?”

He didn't realize it, but it seemed like he wouldn't be able to buy the materials he wanted this time around.

Money is one aspect, but the channel is another.

He couldn't do anything about money for now, but he might have a way to deal with the channel, which was to find Roland.

As mentioned earlier, Roland had taken over his father's Chamber of Commerce, and coincidentally, this Chamber of Commerce was engaged in the perfume business as well as several herbal medicine businesses.

If Harold didn't have a channel, Roland would have had one.

“I can only wait until I have enough money and then go to Roland.”

Three gold tarls would be enough to keep Harold afloat for many years. It seems that the potion making will be delayed again.

However, since he was in the herbalist shop, there was no reason for him not to buy anything. Therefore, Harold bought some of the ingredients he needed for the experiment before leaving.

He returned home with the materials.

Entering the underground laboratory, he arranged the materials and began a new day of experimentation.

Throughout the afternoon, Harold spent it on an experiment.

This was also Harold's daily life.

The main thing for a magician is to study, do experiments, work, and then have fun. Eventually, he would learn what Clement wanted him to learn.

Scholar Clement thought that he would spend a lot of time studying the relevant aspects on a daily basis. In fact, he would only see it when he thought about it. Even so, he had already surpassed Clement in terms of mastery of the relevant aspects.

One could only say that this was the power of a witch.

In some aspects, the Witch was like a god, of course, this was compared to ordinary people and Knights.

Soon, seven days had passed.

Harold is invited to Moore Manor to participate in the hunt.

Moore Manor is a large Manor in the Western city of Jun Lin, and belongs to the Gimori family. It was mainly used for feasting, hunting, and planting some valuable crops. It was a gift from the king to the Gimori family.

And today is the day of the banquet held by the Gimori family.

Harold and Herman boarded a charter train and headed straight for the manor.

The train was fast, and they soon arrived at their destination.

As soon as they got out of the car, Herman looked towards the manor and exclaimed.

Harold also got off the carriage and looked towards the manor.

The first thing that is seen is a castle-like building built with black bricks. On both sides were two smaller attics, and on top of them were dark green vines.

The road in front of him was also paved with bricks. It was flat and clean, giving him a good feeling.

On the other hand, Harold was relatively calm. After all, he had seen magnificent buildings that were hundreds of meters tall in his previous life, as well as all kinds of buildings. Although the castle in front of him was not bad, it was not enough to make him react big.

Herman who was standing at the side glanced at Harold and saw his calm reaction. He sighed in his heart and thought, ‘Harold is just an ordinary person, but he is very calm.’ he instantly felt embarrassed.

He was actually inferior to ordinary people.

“Harold!”

Suddenly, a scream came from not far away.

They both saw Rias walking not far from there.

She was wearing a light purple dress and thin makeup, but with her beautiful face and figure, as well as her purple eyes, she looked like a purple flower that had just bloomed.

Harold's eyes sparkled. He likes beautiful things.

Herman's mouth was wide open as if he had not expected Rias to be that beautiful.

“Rias, you are beautiful today!” As Rias walked over, Herman was not stingy with her praise.

“Thank you!” Rias nodded, but she was still staring at Harold.

“Rias, you are much prettier today than before,” Harold said.

“Am I not beautiful before?” Rias revealed a sly smile and looked at Harold.

“eh, of course not. It's just that you're even prettier today.” Harold smiled in response.

“hehe, I'll stop teasing you. Lefs go. Banquet will start soon.” Rias smiled and led the two of them towards the castle.

“Conjuration? Aren't we hunting?” Harold asked directly, hesitating.

Seeing Harold's confused expression, Rias smiled and said, “hunting will be done after the banquet. After all, everyone needs to rest first. ”

Harold nodded and said nothing more.

This was his first time attending Noble's banquet, and Herman wasn't as fervent as usual following Harold.

Rias led them to the castle and to the banquet hall.

As soon as he entered, a loud voice entered his ears.

There's a lot of people here. Most of them were wearing pretty clothes with a noble emblem on their chests. They gathered in pairs and threes and seemed to be members of the noble family.

At a glance, Harold had already memorized everything. More precisely, he memorized everyone's emblem. The Alina family, the Sovia family, and the Alexander family were all famous families in the Empire.

Of course, there were also some minor nobles and some civilians, but overall, this was the banquet of the nobles.

Many people turned to look at her when Rias entered.

They were shocked to see Rias bringing two civilians in. Since Herman's family was young, many people did not know him and treated him as a civilian.

In a corner of the banquet hall, two men and one woman looked up and frowned.

The three of them stood together and chatted. They were all wearing pretty clothes and appeared to be of high status. Not many people dared to approach them.

And that's the truth.

Alex is from the family of Marquis Alina.

Alice is descended from the Sovia family.

Klein comes from the Alexander family, a hereditary count.

When Klein saw Harold, he raised an eyebrow. “Ordinary person? Rias actually took the initiative to invite ordinary people. Do any of you know him?”

“I don't.” The other two also shook their heads. They don't know him.

“Um, but I remember him joining the library. Maybe they met at the library. Maybe he was a student of the same teacher? Alice seemed to remember something and said.

“Is that so?” Alex nodded. He had the highest status among the three of them.

“I think so, but Rias actually invited a commoner without telling us. I wouldn't have come if I knew.” Klein frowned and said unhappily.

Klein did not look old, about twenty years old, and he looked at Harold with disdain.

Not all nobles could accept an ordinary person sharing a room.

“Come go and see.” Alex, on the other hand, doesn't seem to react too much. She did not pay attention to Klein's words, and she walked towards Rias.

“Alright, brother Alex.” Alice laughing.

Klein was a little displeased, but he did not say anything and followed.

“Rias, you are getting beautiful!” Alex said loudly as he stepped closer.

“Sister Alex, long time no see.” Rias smiled when she saw the man.

Meanwhile, Harold followed behind him, looking at the others calmly.

From the emblem they wore, Harold knew which family they came from, but the only thing that caught his attention was the two men. The one in the middle, called Alex, was probably an advanced Knight, and the one beside him, who had an unhappy expression, was an intermediate Knight.

“let me introduce you. This was a student of the library scholar Clement, Harold. He is very experienced in emblems and history. This is Herman, also a student of scholar Clement.” They made small talk, and then as if remembering something, he turned around and introduced Harold and Herman to the three of them.

“Bachelor Clement?” Upon hearing the introduction, Alex looked at Harold with interest.

He knew the scholar Clement because his family had consulted him many times. His father even knew him. He is a very low-ranking but highly ranked Bachelor in the Library.

“Oh, so you're a student of scholar Clement. I have long admired that scholar!” Alex smiled at Harold and Herman.

Herman was flattered and immediately thanked him.

“Thank you!” On the other hand, Harold was relatively calm while nodding.

He knew that Alex's kindness was not directed at him but at his teacher.

“So you're a learner?” Alice nearby also understood.

Although the people in the library were also ordinary people, they were still in a higher grade than ordinary people.

“He is only a student of a scholar.” Klein still did not care, and he did not look straight at Harold.

“This is Alex, Alice, and Klein.” Leah then introduced the three to Harold.

After the meeting, they separated again.

“I'm sorry for Klein,” After they left, Rias apologizes to Harold. He could see that Klein did not like Harold.

“nothing. After all, not everyone is as friendly as you, Rias.” Harold said with a smile.

Klein wasn't infuriating enough to do anything to her, and a noble who couldn't even hide his emotions was probably just an ordinary person.

“You are very fluent.” Rias closed her mouth and laughed, then went back to normal and said, “You can go for a walk first. I still have some things to deal with.”

“Alright,” Harold nodded.

Then, he left and started leading the party. This was a skill that a noble lady should possess.

As for Harold, of course, he would taste his food.
