Chapter 74: Learning
If the fire was just too big, there would be no problem at all.
The problem was that it was directed towards Anna. Explore stories on NovelBin.Côm
With such a close distance, there was no time for her to dodge.
Even if the fire wasn’t hot enough to hurt her, it would probably burn her clothes to ashes.
Aldric became very panicked, not expecting him to make a mistake like this.
However, he suddenly saw Anna’s eyes emit a red light similar to fire.
Whoosh!
The flames coming out of the horn were as if blown away by the wind, extinguished instantly.
Aldric let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Anna had the skill to deal with the fire.
It seemed that her specialty was using the power of fire.
"I’m sorry, Lady Anna," Aldric said before the woman showed any particular expression.
"No problem, this happens often," she replied, quite calmly with a slight smile.
"Try again until you can really control the fire that appears," she added.
Aldric nodded, trying again but this time he pointed the horn in another direction.
When the fire reappeared on the horn, it was in a small form, unlike the previous one that became large suddenly.
Slowly, Aldric began to control the fire, making it big and then making it small again.
"Good, you learned well," Anna said.
After that, she took one of the cauldrons. It was the one with the smallest size.
"We’ll start the exercise. First, put ten liters of Honey of Life into this cauldron. This will be the lowest-grade Vitalis Pill," she continued, placing the cauldron in front of him.
Although it was small, the cauldron’s legs were long enough that Aldric could stand in front of it without having to lower his body.
He followed Anna’s instructions, putting ten liters of Honey of Life into it.
Now that he had too much Honey of Life, wasting a few liters was no problem at all.
"As I have said, making Vitalis Pills is not difficult. The only difficult thing is to find the Honey of Life which is the main ingredient. If that exists, then the rest is quite easy. As for the other ingredients..."
Anna began to explain and then took out something like a pill that was transparent in color.
It looked as if it was made of glass with an empty inside.
"The first other ingredient is the capsule. It can be used for different types of pills, it has no flavor and no effect, it’s basically the same as the capsules on earth." The woman continued.
"Then we need the Essence Crystals."
As she said that, she took out very small crystals, consisting of various colors.
"You might want to know about Essence Crystals. They can be found inside caves that are not exposed to sunlight at all. Their basic function is to absorb the aura essence of alchemy ingredients like Honey of Life. Basically, all the Magician needs from the Honey of Life is its aura essence. As long as we take it, then the Honey of Life is just ordinary honey with a delicious flavor."
After explaining that, Anna threw the Essence Crystals in her hand into the cauldron.
Aldric estimated that there were ten Essence Crystals that she had thrown, the same number as the number of liters of Honey of Life that he had put into the cauldron.
"And finally, we need some Monster Cores. We need the energy from the Monster Cores to fulfill the cauldron’s energy so that it activates and we can control it," Anna continued.
She took out some of her personal Monster Cores, three Level 7 Monster Cores and one Level 8 Monster Core. She put them all into the cauldron.
"There is no exact number of Monster Cores needed. You just need to estimate that the energy is more than needed. The rest will waste away on its own."
The last thing Anna threw into the cauldron was the small capsule.
"One of the reasons why the Vitalis Pill is so easy to make is because it doesn’t require many ingredients and all the ingredients can be put in from the start, unlike some other pills where you have to put in each ingredient at a different time. Now, start by putting the fire under the cauldron."
The woman’s hand invited him to move immediately, so he did as she instructed.
He aimed the horn at the bottom of the cauldron.
Buzz!
The flame appeared again at the tip of the horn, in a small size.
"Enlarge the flame until it reaches this limit, but there’s no need to increase the temperature, just the temperature that the fire naturally produces." Anna instructed again while placing her hand about 10 cm above the cauldron.
Aldric did so immediately. This time, he was already pretty good at controlling the fire, so when he enlarged it, it didn’t cross the limit Anna said. It reached exactly 10 cm above the cauldron.
"Good!" Anna praised.
Aldric’s eyes looked into the cauldron.
He saw the Honey of Life and the Essence Crystals begin to boil while the Monster’s Essence radiated energy, enveloping the cauldron and the ingredients inside before being absorbed by the cauldron.
"With your own fire, try to connect with the cauldron. You can control the ingredients inside the cauldron if you connect with it. This is the most important part because you won’t be able to make potions if you’re not connected to the cauldron." Anna spoke again.
From the beginning, Aldric wondered how he could control the ingredients in the cauldron. After all, it was like cooking, the ingredients needed to be stirred and organized, yet he wasn’t cooking, so he couldn’t use cooking utensils.
Fortunately, Anna told him although it was a bit late.
His eyes became more focused as he tried to connect with the cauldron.
Perhaps due to the uniqueness of his body, this was not difficult.
The cauldron seemed to welcome him, connecting itself to him.
Immediately afterwards he was able to control all the things inside the cauldron.
"You’re talented..." Anna smiled slightly at her actions.
"Now, you just need to collect the aura essence from the Honey of Life absorbed by the Essence Crystals, remove the Honey of Life that no longer has aura essence and send the aura essence into the capsule."
