Chapter 231: Lagrange's Jump

~7 min read 1,364 words

It was already eight o'clock when he returned to Saint Deran Square with the cat. Because Miya had returned home, it walked around in high spirits. It liked this place just like Xia De.

Xia De didn't rest either, but took out the learning materials for the miracle 【Lagrange's Jump】 obtained last week and placed them on the desk in the study together with the bundle of Wind Vane Blue Grass brought back from Coldwater Port City. There were twelve roots in this bundle in total.

Although Wind Vane Blue Grass was also a herbaceous plant, it looked more like a fern. For Xia De's miracle, the part that could be used only accounted for about one-fifth of the plant.

He simply processed two of the roots with scissors, cut off the useful parts, and engraved a long string of ancient incantations meaning to guide the direction on the surface of the plant by piercing with a fine needle.

This process was very eye-damaging. The light quality of the gas lamp was far worse than the light in his hometown.

After finally finishing processing the plant itself like embroidery, he walked to the window and looked at the rainy night sky. After confirming that there were no special star signs tonight, he drew the curtains, locked the cat outside the door, then extinguished the gas lamp on the side wall of the study, and only turned on the gas desk lamp on the table.

According to the miracle learning method given by Professor Garcia, he first ground the obsidian into stone chips and mixed them with the bone powder of the Haas hound's leg bones. After grinding finely, he used a mixture of his own blood and water to soak the powder.

After waiting for the color of the powder to change from black to white, he placed the powder in a metal container and heated it from below with a match until the moisture evaporated completely.

After finishing these troublesome steps, he ground the warm powder mixture again, and after it cooled to room temperature, he carefully covered them on the surface of the processed Wind Vane Blue Grass.

The key was to cover the letters pierced by the needle.

Xia De took a deep breath and closed his eyes to stabilize his mind. He placed the tray with these things on the corner of the table, first chanted the incantation just pierced, and then blew fiercely. As the powder dispersed in the closed study, the remains of the corroded blue grass were revealed.

He bit the bullet and ate the blue grass with the powder. Before the dust in the air fell completely, Xia De took out another blue grass. The miracle casting required casting materials, which was the diluent of the extract of Wind Vane Blue Grass.

He didn't have the tools to make the extract, so he could only get some juice by pinching, and then point it on the tip of his tongue.

To be honest, Xia De found it hard to compare which of the powder and the plant juice just now had a more strange taste, but it was definitely better than the taste of frog materials.

Looking at the slightly empty study, he raised his foot and took a step with excitement, then his figure disappeared beside the desk and appeared in front of the closed door.

The distance of the miracle was 10 feet (about 3.14 meters), but Xia De could feel that his limit was definitely more than that. The influence of the "Divinity Radiance" state on this miracle was to increase the limit distance of space movement. The increased multiple was about two times, so Xia De's limit movement range should be about 10 meters.

But more accurate experiments needed to wait for an hour. Professor Garcia warned that this miracle could be used at most once an hour, otherwise it was very easy to attract strange things.

Of course, this was just the professor's warning. If Xia De didn't care about safety issues and had enough spirit, he could completely use 【Lagrange's Jump】 as walking. But the one-hour interval was indeed too long. If he could find a way to ensure the safety of space movement, he wouldn't have to worry, but if that kind of thing really existed, Xia De definitely couldn't afford it.

"But this miracle is simpler than I thought."

Turning to look behind him, the whole process just now was no different from ordinary walking.

It was just that at the moment the body appeared abruptly, there was a wonderful feeling of imbalance. But this feeling wouldn't affect the battle, and it would be fine after adapting a few more times.

【What difficulties did you think you would encounter?】

She asked softly in his ear.

"For example... because of lack of proficiency, only part of the body achieved space jumping, thus causing the separation of the body?"

Xia De guessed jokingly.

【If this miracle were so dangerous, the professors at Saint Byrons wouldn't have recommended you choose it.】

The casting material for the miracle 【Lagrange's Jump】 was the diluent of the extract of Wind Vane Blue Grass, but it wasn't that materials were needed when using it, but that after pointing some standard concentration diluent on the tip of the tongue, the miracle could be used at any time within twenty minutes.

This kind of diluent couldn't be made by just adding water. It required a Ringed Shushi specializing in configuring potions to make it, otherwise, many materials would be wasted.

So Xia De only tried a few times tonight and planned to find Priest Ao Gu Si to help process these grasses tomorrow.

By the way, he could also let the priest identify other messy things brought back from Coldwater Port. As for the origin of these things, he could just say that he met a Ringed Shushi who wanted to leave Tobesk recently in the black market, so he bought a pile of things he didn't know what they were at a low price.

"Coldwater Port City is worthy of being the most important trade hub between the New Continent and the Old Continent, even such precious materials can be found."

Opening the door and letting the cat that kept scratching the door quiet down, Xia De sighed sincerely in his heart. However, he wouldn't go to Coldwater Port again in the near future. Although he didn't leave too many traces at the scene of Jason Delar's death, he still had to avoid the limelight.

"The most important thing is to break into the ruins three days later."

He looked at the night view outside the window:

"To prevent the worst situation from happening, I must make multiple preparations. Divinity should be saved if possible, and the gold pounds in my hand should be enough to buy some good things."

Time was very tight, so after waking up on Tuesday morning, the first thing was to eat, and the second thing was to wash the clothes from yesterday to ensure that he could have clean clothes to wear when going out.

Then he went out, took a carriage to the Tobesk Post Office, sent an express letter to Miss Jia Jia Lin Na, asking if he could visit in the afternoon, and then visited Priest Ao Gu Si to hand over those Wind Vane Blue Grasses for processing.

"Where did you get these plants? The price of Wind Vane Blue Grass in the local black market is 10 pounds per root, at least 10 pounds, and it's very normal for there to be no news for several months after hanging out the shipping list."

Because making plant extracts wasn't troublesome, the priest took Xia De directly to his underground studio rented out. The plants themselves were expensive, but after dilution, each root could obtain at least 100 drops of liquid.

These liquids were enough to support Xia De's usage for a whole year, not because he estimated that Xia De would use the miracle frequently, but because the diluent and the plant itself would slowly deteriorate, which was also a helpless thing. ===== CHAPTER 232 =====
