Six Ring Wizard

Chapter 54 The Heart of the Stone Giant
  The stone giant's heart is a necessary potion material for second-class wizard apprentices to advance to third-class wizard apprentices. This stuff is generally not available to buy.

Because making the potion must keep the stone giant's heart active, it needs to be soaked in the potion to maintain its activity for two months.

If a second-class wizard apprentice wants to be promoted, he must take magic potion within two months and then become a third-class wizard apprentice.

Therefore, the heart of the stone giant is usually that after the second-class wizard apprentice reaches the limit, he will then search for the stone giant, and then complete the series of processes of hunting, making potions, and promotion.

The processing of the Stone Giant's heart was a case study in the course "Introduction to the Basics of Potion Science". Herrag had done several experiments with models in the experimental class, and he was already familiar with the process.

He is also the only wizard apprentice in this batch of courses who successfully completed the stone giant's heart experiment, and the others failed.

"A first-class wizard apprentice can handle the stone giant's heart. Do you need to participate in the battle?" Herage sent a message to the task issuer.

The person who issued the task was called Bessie, and she seemed to be a woman.

"First class wizard apprentice? Are you sure you can handle the stone giant's heart?" Bessie asked.

"I have attended Mr. Larry's potions course and am familiar with the processing of the stone giant's heart." Herrag replied.

"Well... you come to the Lion Cafe in town and have a chat in person." Bessie decided to meet him.

The Lion Cafe is located in the center of the town, where many wizards choose to talk, communicate or have fun.

When Herage arrived outside the Lion Cafe, he smelled the aroma of coffee wafting in the air.

He opened the door and saw a familiar person, the tall woman who bought herself three bottles of Bai Xian healing potion.

"Hrag?" Bessie asked.

Herage smiled and said, "I didn't expect such a coincidence."

Bessie was also surprised and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to be you. If you really made those white fresh healing potions, then I don't have to doubt your potion skills."

Herage smiled and said: "I don't dare to lie about this kind of thing. After all, after leaving the Moonlight Grove, I am just a weak first-class wizard apprentice, so I don't dare to lie."

His meaning was obvious, he would not be protected after leaving the Moonlight Grove. If they dare to lie to others, they can deal with them in minutes.

"You can rest assured on this. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't follow the rules. Otherwise, no one will dare to cooperate with me in the future. Sit down first, and the other people will arrive later." Bessie explained.

Herage nodded and sat down at the table. He had to take risks by taking on this task. Outside the Moonlight Grove, everything depends on his own adaptability.

"But there is no task without taking risks. You can encounter so many things when digging mushrooms." Herage sighed inwardly.

After the two sat down, they chatted about some potions-related things intentionally or unintentionally.

Herage knew these things very well. There was a lot of information stored in Deep Blue's database. He could immediately answer every question Bessie asked and could extend it to many topics.

"Mr. Herrag is so knowledgeable!" Bessie really didn't expect that a first-class wizard apprentice could be so knowledgeable, which really surprised her.

After a while, the other two people Bessie had made an appointment with also arrived.

A man named Locke Dean, a third-class wizard apprentice, wearing a pair of thick spectacle frames, looked at Herrag with a critical look when he came in.

There was also Emma Marcy, a woman with many freckles on her face. She seemed to have a good relationship with Bessie, and they hugged each other when they met.

After several people sat down and introduced themselves to each other, Bessie said: "Everyone is here, let's talk about the plan first. The departure time is two days later. I will prepare the things that need to be prepared by then, and Herage will be responsible for handling the stone. The heart of a giant, he does not participate in the battle..."

After Bessie finished speaking, Locke said: "I have a question, why did you bring a first-class wizard apprentice to deal with the stone giant's heart?" "Although Herague is only a first-class wizard apprentice, he is good at potions. He has very high attainments, I can rest assured about this." Bessie explained.

Locke took a sip of coffee and said, "Since you think it's okay, then that's it."

Locke was paid to do things anyway, and he was responsible for killing the stone giant. As for whether the heart treatment was successful or not, it had nothing to do with him.

The stone giant usually requires a third-class wizard apprentice to deal with. Bessie hired two third-class wizard apprentices this time, which can be said to be a sure thing.

Herage is too weak to participate directly in the battle, lest he be affected by the battle.

If Herague was injured or even died due to the battle, only Bessie and the other two would have to deal with the stone giant's heart. They were not proficient in potions.

Potions requires a lot of financial resources, and it is difficult for ordinary wizard apprentices to gain rich experience without sufficient accumulation.

After the few people agreed on the specific matters, they left the cafe. When Herage returned home, he first began to prepare the potion needed to soak the stone giant's heart.

"Flobber caterpillar slime, Hoklap juice, lionfish spines..."

After inventorying the required potion materials, Herage began to refine the potion. This potion is called Broad Spectrum Potion.

He put the Flobber caterpillar mucus into the beaker, then lit the lionfish's spines, put it into the beaker, then input a magic power and chanted a few syllables.

Thick white mist rose from the beaker, seemingly endless, and the room was quickly filled with white mist.

Herage wore a pair of goggles and ignored the white mist everywhere in the room, but stared closely at the beaker.

"Countdown to completion of reaction is 9 seconds." Deep Blue gave a countdown of reaction time.

After Herage's waiting time was up, he immediately poured some pink powder into the beaker, which was obtained by grinding a fruit called scale grass.

two hours later.

"It's done."

A round-bellied crystal bottle in front of Herage contained a purple solution. Occasionally, bubbles emerged from the surface of the solution, making a popping sound.

He sealed the mouth of the bottle with a cork made of oak, and a broad-spectrum potion was ready.

At night, Herage's mind already had the basic shape of the sixth star, and he expected to complete meditation within two months to meet the promotion requirements for a second-class wizard apprentice.

"Fortunately, the materials for the Dawn Potion can be purchased in the forest, so you don't have to take huge risks to hunt to obtain the materials."

Herage was already preparing materials related to the Dawn Potion. He still had one major Devil's Flower rhizome that he couldn't afford. After completing this task, he would be able to collect just the materials for the Dawn Potion.

……

Two days later, Herage and others gathered at the inn in the northern forest area.

The route they wanted to take this time was not to the Moonlight Forest, but to the east.

After arriving here, Herage found that the atmosphere of the inn was different from the past. A formal wizard and several third-class wizard apprentices were stationed at the inn to strengthen the security force.

"Is it because of what happened that day..." Herage thought of Rune who was killed by Shivara.
