Chapter 370: [Comfortable Slumber] and New Spells

Coming out of the art hall cultivation room, Gao De returned to Haiyin Ronggu Yuan.

The orphanage lacked clothes and food, but it didn't lack rooms.

Coupled with the fact that during this period of time, one was the association registration matter, and the other was the crew recruitment and fleet formation matter, Gao De also felt that running between two places was troublesome, so he simply chose to stay in the orphanage.

Just back, Aisha and Doctor Danika knocked on the door and entered.

"I have already drafted the apprentice contract here, you take a look." Aisha handed over a parchment first.

If you want to do a full set of acting, association registration, and after the charter is set, the design of the contract text is also necessary.

However, Gao De didn't worry about this matter anymore, and handed it over to Doctor Danika and Aisha to handle.

It was also considered to see Aisha's ability.

Although he knew that she had received royal education since she was a child, was proficient in knowledge of governance, and was extremely good at these official twists and turns, including document specification formats, knowing is knowing, but it still had to be witnessed with his own eyes to count.

"... Party A (Chaoyuzhe Children's Relief Association) promises to provide crop planting skills training for Party B (Haiyin Ronggu Yuan orphans), and Party B needs to serve Party A's overseas plantations for 10 years, during which they enjoy food, housing, basic medical care, and a subsidy of 1 silver dragon coin per week..."

Sweeping through, everything was covered, and it was impossible to see that it was just a fake contract used to deal with Lagos official review; it was more like a formal contract that was indeed true.

"Thank you for your hard work." Gao De thanked her.

"It's just a small matter." Aisha said truthfully. Such a document, as long as she knew the general requirements and specifications, she could draft it in a few minutes.

"How is the crew recruitment going?" Putting down the document, Gao De asked again.

"According to your requirements, we must try our best to recruit loyal and confidential crew members, especially for the captain. So we chose the recruitment scope in Kangwoer Village and Bulidi Village. These two fishing villages are relatively isolated from the outside world, so the fishermen there are also easier to establish loyalty."

"Finally, we found an experienced old captain. More importantly, he was once a believer of the Chaoyuzhe Sect, but later the caravan he served went bankrupt and didn't do it anymore. He lost his job and no longer believed in this sect." Doctor Danika reported one by one.

Good guy... really have a few ancestral styles, the so-called belief, believe if you can use it, don't believe if you can't use it...

Gao De complained in his heart.

"Does he agree to sign a long-term employment contract?" Gao De confirmed.

In his view, if you want to recruit loyal and confidential crew members, the choice of target population is solid, but what really has binding force is the long-term contract, agreeing on high liquidated damages, and using economic means to constrain loyalty.

And it's not that everyone is like him, a lone person, barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, and can just leave if he doesn't want to do it after signing the contract.

"We gave him a five-year employment contract, and he even didn't mention any extra requirements and agreed in one gulp," Doctor Danika explained: "After the Spirit Marrow Fever, many people lost their jobs, so..."

So there is no choice, always have to support the family.

"The captain is from Kangwoer Village, so we recruited the first mate and second mate from Bulidi Village," Aisha said again: "Then, let the three of them recommend other crew members through their personal relationship networks."

"Because the salary we offered is not low, coupled with the depressed economic situation in Lagos City now, in fact, long-term contracts are also a guarantee for them, so it went very smoothly."

"By now, the manpower has been recruited seven or eight out of ten. Just wait for everyone to get familiar with it, make preparations, and then after the materials you want to purchase are in place, you can set sail."

Gao De nodded slightly.

This is the benefit of picking the right person. In the whole process, apart from paying money, most of the miscellaneous things behind were handled by Aisha, Doctor Danika, and Harland, without him needing to worry too much.

He thought for a moment, looked up at Doctor Danika, and changed the subject, "Doctor Danika, can the 【Healing】 you mastered be taught to others? If so, I hope to buy its spell formula from you."

This was not a sudden idea.

When he discovered Doctor Danika casting 【Healing】 in the Ma Ke Ke district, Gao De had already developed thoughts about the spell formula of 【Healing】.

Throwing away the title of a so-called rare spell, 【Healing】, as one of the few healing spells in low-circle plastic energy spells, has too wide applicability, which is what made Gao De desire the spell formula of 【Healing】 very much.

Going out, who dares to guarantee that they won't encounter anything?

After joining the Hai Shao Bing, injuries are even more unavoidable. Mastering such a spell is really necessary.

Not to mention, he now has a "BOSS" to fight.

Aldrich is a second-circle mage. Even if Gao De occupies all the heaven, earth, and people, wanting to say that he will win steadily is not something he is sure of.

Before such a battle, if he can master 【Healing】, it is also an extra trump card.

It's just that at that time, he and Doctor Danika were still complete strangers.

In this situation, proposing to buy a spell formula is a very presumptuous thing. If he meets a mage with a bad temper, he will even become an enemy because of this.

But now they can be considered to have some intersection, so Gao De asked directly.

Doctor Danika thought for a while, "【Healing】 is actually a family spell. By rights, it is not allowed to be passed on to outsiders."

"However..." She said very openly: "Now even the Xidian Principality no longer exists, let alone my family. These decrees naturally don't need to be adhered to."

"Please wait a moment."

After saying that, Doctor Danika retreated.

A quarter of an hour later, she took a booklet that was already yellowed and somewhat old and walked in solemnly.

"When I escaped from the family, I hadn't mastered this spell yet, so I just brought the spell formula with me when I left."

"Fortunately, otherwise, after so long, I could write out the spell model, but the formula for the spell magic medicine would definitely not be remembered." Doctor Danika mocked herself while handing the booklet to Gao De.

After the spell model is successfully built, it exists in the spell star sea, and naturally, it can be easily replicated.

But the paired spell magic medicine, if it is not intentional, after a long time, wanting to remember it is really not an easy thing.

And like Doctor Danika, a mage who was once a noble, the spell magic medicine should be ready-made, without needing her to collect raw materials to prepare it herself. Wanting to say the magic medicine formula is even more impossible.

Gao De took the booklet while taking money from his bosom.

A first-circle spell formula is worth about 25 gold, and 【Healing】 is particularly precious, so selling it for 40 gold is not excessive.

It's just that Danika stopped Gao De's movement, "Mr. Officer, compared to a spell formula, a kind heart is the most precious. You are willing to help the children, which has already made me not know how to thank you. It's just a spell formula that I don't need anymore..."

Gao De looked at Doctor Danika.

The latter gave a sincere smile in return.

"Many thanks." He didn't insist anymore.

"5 leaves of elder wood, 1 teaspoon of dried marigold petal powder, 5 crystals of rotten sea salt..."

Although he had just returned, in order to master 【Healing】 before "fighting the BOSS," Gao De immediately left the orphanage without stopping and went straight to the city center.

The largest magic material shops in Lagos City are all opened here. Wanting to gather the main and auxiliary materials needed for 【Healing】 spell magic medicine should not be a big problem.

The fact is also so. In the first shop, the two main materials needed for 【Healing】 spell magic medicine were all bought, and four of the five auxiliary materials were gathered, only missing the last one, tumbleweed dew, which was out of stock.

However, tumbleweed dew is not a rare thing, so in the second magic material shop, Gao De also bought it smoothly.

Total cost: 39 gold coins.

—Rare spells are rare because of the spells themselves, so the spell formula will have a premium compared to ordinary spells, but the main and auxiliary materials needed for spell magic medicine are still very conventional and will not have a premium.

Loaded with a full return, all the materials were "cooked" in one pot, and a small bottle of emerald green magic medicine was freshly released.

On the eve of leaving Doen City, Gao De obtained three new spell formulas in total: 【Disguise】, 【Comfortable Slumber】, and 【Rapid Excavation】.

After coming out for nearly two weeks, the spell models for 【Disguise】 and 【Comfortable Slumber】 have been successfully built one after another.

【Rapid Excavation】 is still a bit short.

Now, Gao De simply came to a "halfway through," temporarily giving up 【Rapid Excavation】, which he hadn't mastered yet, and turned to 【Healing】.

However, it is worth mentioning that 【Comfortable Slumber】, which was only regarded by Gao De as a strong non-side-effect sleeping pill, brought him a small surprise after the point addition of Wind Spirit Moon Shadow:

【Comfortable Slumber+】 (Necromancy School, 1st Circle):

You can cast this spell when you are about to rest. When affected by this spell, the recipient will enjoy a comfortable sleep on a quiet night...

Extra: When the recipient is in a state of comfortable sleep, the recovery speed of mental power will also be significantly improved. For every hour of comfortable sleep, the recipient can obtain a mental power recovery effect equivalent to 1.5 hours of sleep under non-spell conditions.

Directly upgraded, from an ordinary first-circle spell to a small divine skill.

Except for a few rare magic medicines that can help mages recover mental power, in most cases, mages can only recover mental power through rest.

And mages in a state of excessive consumption of mental power are often depressed and need several days of good rest to recover.

How practical the extra effect brought by 【Comfortable Slumber+】 is, goes without saying.

Especially, sleep is a long-term thing. No matter how small the improvement is, it is already very exaggerated in accumulation, not to mention that the 1.5-fold improvement itself is not small.

Sizzle!

In the furnace, sparks cracked and scattered like fireworks, drawing bright trajectories in the hot air, and finally fell to the bottom of the furnace, turning into dark red dots.

A middle-aged blacksmith with a burly figure and a full face of sideburns looked at the burning furnace in front of him with full attention.

In the furnace, orange-red flames rolled wantonly, and a piece of glowing copper was gradually becoming red.

The young apprentice on the side was trying his best to pull the bellows.

The powerful airflow sprayed by the bellows made the flames in the furnace jump higher, and the temperature rose sharply.

The air was filled with a pungent, scorching breath.

Under high temperature, the glowing copper softened at a slow speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, and its surface, besides the increasingly rich red, also flowed with a strange light yellow light.

The temperature in the whole courtyard was shockingly high. Even in the Ice-sealing Month with extremely low temperature, sweat beads as big as beans rolled down from the foreheads of the apprentice pulling the bellows and the blacksmith holding the hammer in the courtyard.

Sweat beads rolled down their cheeks and evaporated instantly on the ground, leaving only faint water stains.

However, Gao De, who was watching from the side, felt good.

Because he had already added 【Endure Environment】 to himself long ago.

After a long time, seeing that the heat was almost there, the blacksmith carefully used a pair of special tongs to take the softened glowing copper out of the furnace and placed it on a huge iron anvil.

The surface of the iron anvil was pitted, which was the trace left by countless hammerings.

Subsequently, he raised the hammer in his hand high, and runes were also engraved on the hammer, and the runes were slightly glowing at this moment.

The middle-aged blacksmith took a deep breath, his arm muscles tense, his blood vessels protruding, and with a whistling sound, the hammer hit the glowing copper heavily.

Every strike made a dull and powerful sound, echoing in the courtyard.

His sweat also fell on the edge of the furnace, turning into white steam and rising.

Every time the hammer fell, the glowing copper would undergo subtle deformation.

Under this constant hammering, some impurities were shaken out of the glowing copper, falling down like black powder.

At the same time, the organization of the glowing copper itself became denser, and the composition gradually became uniform.

After hammering about thirty times, the originally soft glowing copper had already cooled down somewhat, and the luster on the surface had also become dim, no longer as easy to shape as at the beginning.

And the burly blacksmith quickly put it back into the furnace, his movements in one go.

Then, he straightened up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Gao De: "Guest, the glowing copper itself has a hard texture and cools down quickly. According to your requirements, to ensure that the glowing copper is as uniform as possible, and there is almost no difference in the amount of impurities in each part, it must be forged and heated at least five times like this."

Gao De nodded slightly, not surprised.

This was the requirement he put forward.

Glowing copper must be refined, constantly forged, until the last forging and weighing, the weight does not decrease at all, only then is it considered qualified.

—This state indicates that 99% of the impurities in the glowing copper have been removed.

The reason why the requirement is so high is not that Gao De has obsessive-compulsive disorder, but that it must be so to manufacture rune constructs.

The most important and core part of a rune construct is undoubtedly the rune, the magic array.

But this does not mean that other aspects are not important, and on the contrary, the requirements of rune constructs for raw materials are far higher than other supernatural equipment.

In the old rune study system, there is a well-known theory: when manufacturing rune constructs, if the raw materials themselves are not forged enough and the quality is not high enough, it is very difficult to successfully manufacture rune constructs.

As for why this situation occurs, there has been no recognized unified conclusion.

But in the new rune study system founded by He Xi, the answer to this question is obvious.

If the forging times are not enough, it will lead to different amounts of impurities in different parts of the same material, which will lead to differences in magic resistance.

A miss is as good as a mile; it is this little difference that will lead to the failure of the rune magic array.

The apprentice, who had just rested for a while, under the blacksmith's signal, vigorously moved the bellows again.

The bellows made a creaking sound.

The flames burned fiercely.

But glowing copper, as a magic-conducting material, has a different texture from ordinary copper and iron, and it takes at least a quarter of an hour to enter the forgeable stage again.

This is just the
