Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 11 Swallow Potion and Mutation Level

"Swallows are a symbol of spring and recovery. The swallow potion made by our demon hunters can speed up the recovery of physical injuries."

"If you are facing a protracted battle, drinking a bottle of swallow potion in advance can help you quickly recover from most common injuries."

"Even if you are unfortunately seriously injured, it can help you stabilize the injury and prevent the injury from getting worse."

While explaining the function of the swallow medicine to Wayne, Geralt took out a handful of white petals, weighed out a certain amount with a weighing tool, put it into a container, and crushed it into a white and transparent juice.

Then he used a spoon to scrape off a layer of sour-smelling body fluid from a water ghost brain, and threw it into the container.

Finally, he took out a bottle of dwarf spirits from his waist, poured half a bottle into the container, put it on the support of the fire, and continued to say to Wayne while stirring:

"The formula of the Swallow Potion is relatively simple. It only needs the petals of the white currant flower and a part of the water ghost brain. The weight ratio is two to one. Add spirits and boil for an hour, and it will be enough."

"It is one of the most commonly used medicines for our demon hunters. It is suitable for most battles. It has no side effects. It can also effectively offset the side effects of several medicines such as Thunder, Maribor Forest, Triple Crown, and Stanmoreford's elixir."

"Tastes like rotten oranges with lard on them."

"Of course, just like our other demon hunter potions, the swallow potion also contains certain toxicity, and only we demon hunters can use it."

"Ordinary people can also have a certain recovery effect after drinking it, but before that, they will be poisoned to death."

Wayne took notes while listening, watching the mixed liquid in the container slowly turn from white to light yellow under the high temperature of the flame, and an unpleasant smell permeated the air.

The Swallow Potion is indeed the most famous of the witcher potions, and it often appears in novels and games. Even in The Witcher III game, Geralt relied on the Swallow Potion to save a seriously injured ordinary woman.

The two sat by the cold lake and waited for an hour. During this period, Geralt taught Wayne how to brew potions, how to use these medicine tools, and some other potion recipes, and let Wayne handle the petals of cedenidium and water ghost brains by himself.

In the end, after consuming six water ghost brains, a small bag of white chrysanthemum flower petals, and three bottles of spirits, they refined a total of twelve bottles of swallow potion.

Geralt took four bottles, stuffed them in his fanny pack, and motioned for Wayne to take the remaining eight.

Wayne was also polite, and filled up the rest of the swallow potion. He took out one of the bottles, looked at the light yellow transparent liquid medicine inside, and asked curiously:

"Geralt, how long can this potion be stored?"

"I read in the book that different potions have different poisons, and it is impossible for us demon hunters to take these poisons without limit."

"The average demon hunter will reach the limit after taking two to three bottles of potions at the same time."

"Is there any specific standard for this?"

Hearing this, the white wolf looked up at the time, then got up and began to pack up the alchemy tools on the ground, saying:

"Indeed, although the witcher potion is powerful, if you drink too much at the same time, not only will it not be beneficial, but it will also cause serious damage to our body."

"As for how many potions you can drink at the same time, it depends on how much toxicity the mutant organs in your body can withstand."

"It's like drinking alcohol."

"The stronger the body and the better the physique, the higher the toxicity that a demon hunter who takes various potions can withstand."

"However, because our medicines are all made with spirits and are not easy to deteriorate, they can be stored for a long time."

"It can be stored for about half a year."

Wayne nodded. This is more in line with his understanding. Since the degree to which each demon hunter suffers from the toxicity of the potion is related to their mutant organs, can it be considered that taking these highly toxic potions can exercise their poison resistance to a certain extent?

Looking at the swallow potion in his hand, Wayne suddenly thought of the mutation level in his skill bar.

In the past year and a half, he has tried many methods, but the mutation level still has not gained any proficiency.

Perhaps, the witcher potion in hand is the way to exercise the mutation level.

Wayne thought for a few seconds, then turned to Geralt and said:

"I haven't taken the witcher potion yet, I want to try the effect of the swallow potion."

Geralt shrugged indifferently, not surprised by the young man's curiosity.

However, he still reminded:
"Our potions are all brewed with spirits. If you don't drink well enough, it's best not to drink too much."

Wayne nodded nonchalantly when he heard the words. In his previous life, he was a strong man who drank a few catties of high-grade liquor with a plate of peanuts. How could he be afraid of ancient spirits?
He first cut a shallow wound on his wrist with a clean knife, then picked up the swallow potion, suppressed the sour smell, and gulped it down.

As the light yellow liquid entered his body from his throat, a scorching heat, mixed with a bit of tearing pain, began to burn in his internal organs.

But soon, this pain and burning sensation began to spread to the whole body, and slowly disappeared, a warm feeling enveloped his whole body, and his body was no longer as uncomfortable as before.

Later, when that warm feeling flowed to his arm, Wayne could clearly feel that the shallow wound on his arm no longer hurt, but instead had a kind of itching when the wound was healing.

At the same time, the system's notification sound sounded as he expected.

Mutation proficiency +1, current progress: 1.

Mutation LV1: Mana recovery speed +10%, poison resistance +1.

After hearing this prompt, Wayne was overjoyed. Compared with the level of swordsmanship, which took several hours to improve a little proficiency, the mutation level was the same as the French seal level. He only needed to drink medicine every day to improve quickly.

And the bonus brought by the mutation level is very helpful for his strength improvement.

The faster the mana recovers, the more seals can be cast, and the faster the seal level can be raised.

And the higher the poison resistance, the more demon hunter potions he can drink, and the faster his mutation level will increase, which is simply a virtuous circle.

It seems that in the future, drinking potions will also become one of his daily activities.

Thinking of this, Wayne paid more attention to the alchemy taught by Geralt.

I just don't know if his culinary skills can be used to boil potions and make these unpalatable potions delicious.

If that's the case, he doesn't mind helping other witchers from the wolf school to brew the potion.
