Chapter 116: Kuli Cliff
The 1st-circle spell formula was obviously much longer than the 0-circle spell formula.
So the whole parchment booklet was also much thicker than the previous one.
This was mainly because the nodes of the spell model had increased, the entire spell model structure had become more complex, and naturally, more exploded views and explanatory notes were needed.
And when Gao De flipped the spell formula to the end, what came into view was a corresponding magic potion formula.
This was something that the 0-circle spell formula did not have.
So even though Gao De already had the ready-made magic potion, he still looked at it carefully with great interest.
【Obtain Familiar】 Spell Magic Potion (1st-rank magic potion): Prerequisite magic potion for learning the spell 【Obtain Familiar】.
Main ingredients: 2 drops of Bewitching Thorn juice, one-quarter ounce of Deepwater Octopus brain fluid. Auxiliary ingredients: 2 ounces of rootless pure water, 5 Silver Bell Grass magic leaves, 1 pair of blue butterfly wings. Gao De's gaze was still scanning downward, but he suddenly discovered that this magic potion formula stopped abruptly here.
What about the preparation steps??? A complete magic potion formula should at least include three basic items: "Magic Potion Effect," "Main and Auxiliary Materials," and "Preparation Steps."
Some formulas would also have additional items such as "Usage Instructions" and "Precautions."
But the spell magic potion formula in front of him actually only had two items: "Magic Potion Effect" and "Main and Auxiliary Materials."
Logically speaking, this should be an incomplete magic potion formula.
Was the spell formula given by Magic User Laer incomplete?
Not necessarily; he was, after all, a high-level academy official, so doing so would be too degrading, and there was really no reason for him to do so.
Excluding the possibility that the formula itself had problems, then it should be that the spell magic potion itself had particularities and existed differences from the preparation methods of other types of magic potions.
The knowledge I lack is still too much... No, it cannot be called knowledge; for magic users from magic user families, this should be common sense. Gao De said silently.
Fortunately, he had now joined the Sairisi Magic Academy, and soon, he would be able to master all this common sense.
Rushing to Shengxi Encheng through all sorts of hardships was indeed the most correct decision. Gao De sighed again.
Gao De only stayed in Building No. 30 for a moment, tidied up his things a little, and then left Building No. 30.
Just like every new student enrolling, the two things they care about most must be "dormitory" and "canteen."
After seeing the "dormitory," Gao De's next target was the "canteen."
It was currently mealtime, so when he arrived at the restaurant, the restaurant was already exceptionally lively.
The food provided by the restaurant was also rich in variety, and the frugality was up to the individual, ranging from "rye bread + pea soup" for 2 copper to "honey roasted chicken + Hairalu mushroom soup" for 2 gold coins.
And at the entrance of the restaurant, there was a conspicuous water sign, on which was written: Today's special delicacy: "Charcoal-grilled Bird Spider," 10 silver/serving.
Hiss—Bird spider, it should be a type of spider. Eating spiders, are magic users also so heavy-tasting... And it's so expensive, 10 silver a serving. With this money, what's wrong with eating something else? Why eat a broken spider? Gao De curled his lips and complained in his heart with some disgust.
Five minutes later.
"Sir, your charcoal-grilled bird spider, please enjoy!" The service staff brought a large plate of charcoal-grilled bird spider to Gao De's dining table.
Gao De, whose rationality had been temporarily suppressed by curiosity, observed this special delicacy.
A bird spider was several sizes larger than his palm, and he didn't know what it ate to grow that big.
The roasting technique was very delicate, only roasting the surface, making its shell crispy, and retaining the form of the bird spider, presenting it in front of him in a complete "corpse" state.
It didn't make Gao De feel his scalp tighten.
Next to the charcoal-grilled bird spider, there were also unique utensils for enjoying this delicacy.
Toothpick—a toothpick made by removing the spider's teeth.
A real toothpick.
"The money has already been spent..." In the end, the 10 silver coins overwhelmingly defeated Gao De's rationality. He tore off a crispy roasted spider leg. Then, just like eating a crab, he used the toothpick to pick out the bird spider leg meat hidden under the shell.
Unlike its ferocious appearance, the bird spider meat presented a slightly golden luster, which was very tempting.
When Gao De bit the bullet and stuffed the bird spider leg meat into his mouth, chewing carefully, unexpectedly, the texture was not as "dark" as he had imagined.
On the contrary, it could even be said to be exceptionally delicious.
The meat was delicate and elastic, with a faint smoky fragrance and a trace of imperceptible sweetness, as if it were the product of the perfect fusion of nature and fire.
Gao De's eyes lit up, and his hand and mouth movements accelerated at the same time.
The bird spider leg meat was firm and elastic, while the abdomen meat was soft and juicy, bringing him two completely different experiences.
When the last bird spider leg was also torn off and the leg meat picked out and eaten, Gao De even felt his body heating up slightly.
This was the special effect of the ingredient itself, which could replenish Qi and blood.
This made Gao De finally not feel the pain of the "huge sum" of 10 silver coins spent.
The dish was unique, the taste was good, and it could replenish Qi and blood. With these three characteristics, even if it were placed in the previous life where the catering industry was extremely developed, five hundred yuan a serving would not be particularly exaggerated.
The next day.
4th day of the Dark Night Month.
Gao De had breakfast early, and half an hour before eight o'clock, he carried all the tools issued by the academy and groped his way to the reporting point explained by Commissioner Rachel, Kuli Cliff.
Kuli Cliff, located on the west side of the Sairisi Magic Academy, was a steep cliff reaching a hundred meters high.
Below the cliff was the Great River, the river with the widest flow basin in the entire Shengxi Encheng realm, the Najia River.
And on one side of Kuli Cliff, a winding and twisting cliff path with a forty-five-degree angle was built by magic users using magic, connecting the bottom of the cliff to the top of the cliff.
Clearly having arrived half an hour early, even so, Gao De was not the first to arrive.
The first to arrive was a middle-aged man with a strong body like an iron tower, naked from the waist up, with chest muscles bulging into a large piece.
He didn't look like a magic user, but more like a brainless martial artist.
Of course, the profession of martial artist did not exist in this world; clearly, the other party was a magic user.
The strong man had his hands behind his back, and seeing Gao De, he just said expressionlessly: "Arrived quite early."
Seeing that the other party had no intention of speaking again, Gao De did not take the initiative to speak and stood on the side waiting.
It wasn't until only five minutes remained before eight o'clock that the other five new students arrived one after another.
The five new students were three men and two women, and one of the two women was Gao De's "old acquaintance" Jielika.
She was the last to arrive, arriving almost exactly on time.
Today's Jielika was no longer dressed as a noble lady of the past, but chose a tight-fitting top and skirt-trousers, looking extremely clean and neat.
This outfit looked much more harmonious with the back basket on her back and the tools in the back basket.
Unlike the other girl, who seemed not to have realized the nature of the enrollment task when seeing the tools, and came to report in an exquisite and expensive silk long dress.
This outfit, paired with the tools she brought, had a sense of incongruity like a rich young lady going to the countryside to experience life. Jielika, who arrived late, opened her mouth wide subconsciously the moment she saw Gao De.
After being stunned for a second, she came back to her senses, realizing that this action was not very "ladylike."
She quickly controlled her emotions, returned to a normal state, and walked into the new student team.
It was just that her peripheral vision would glance at Gao De from time to time, indicating that Jielika's inner heart had not returned to calm like her expression.
