Chapter 47: I Want to Become Stronger!
Billy scratched the spot where he had just been attacked by Vetter with his tail, his originally bewildered face now full of innocence!
This was none of his business!
Bocco also didn't expect that Vetter would come up with such a whole mess!
He shook his head in tears and laughter.
“It's been said that the power of this magic, is related to the level of proficiency, your first time using it successfully not to mention, that finger was already quite fragile from practicing the magic before.
At this time, you go and attack the hardest place on the Crystal Dragon's entire body.
Vetter, I want to know what you think?”
Vetter sniffed back and lowered his head in embarrassment, his tail behind him whipping out stumps!
“Hahaha, I want to know what you think too!”
Compared to the other dragons, Isha was obviously much more reckless, not only laughing out loud, but even uttering words of mockery!
Vetter turned his head and glared hatefully at the other party before he looked up at Bocco and asked shyly, “It seems like it's really broken this time, what should we do?”
Bocco shook his head helplessly, before an extra crystal tube appeared on his paw!
Of course, that was for Bocco!
For Vetter, it was totally a big crystal jar, the kind that could fit him in completely!
“Here, break your claw fingers straight first!”
At that, Vetter hurriedly did as he was told!
After Vetter had broken his claw finger straight, Bocco opened the crystal tube and poured out a uh ...... small drop of the liquid inside, and then used his spiritual power to manipulate that small drop of liquid and wrapped Vetter's broken claw finger.
“It might be a bit itchy, you must endure it, if you move around, it's not my business if the claw finger is connected crookedly!”
Hearing this, Vetter hurriedly nodded.
Then he curiously looked at the claw finger that was wrapped up by the liquid.
The liquid as a whole was pale green and viscous, emitting a faint fragrance, moreover, Vetter was able to feel that it contained a unique breath of life.
This kind of life breath could sometimes be felt from Dinnet's body.
Just as Vetter thought of this, an itchy sensation literally appeared on his clawed fingers, causing the dragon to resist the urge to scratch!
Luckily, Bocco had warned him ahead of time, so Vetter was able to hold back.
In order to divert his attention, Vetter opened his mouth and asked, “Bocco, is this what you said, the potion used to treat injuries?”
Bocco nodded, then looked at the other dragons.
“Stretch out those claw fingers you've been practicing magic with, this potion will allow you to recover as quickly as possible without breaking your own claw fingers like Vetter did!”
With that said, Bocco maneuvered the potion and wrapped the claw fingers that the dragons had extended before continuing, “Potions are divided into three main categories, recovery, enhancement as well as healing!
Recovery class potions are those used to restore physical strength and magic power.
Enhancement potions are potions that are used to permanently enhance one's own strength, this type of potion.
Healing potions, such as the one I'm using now, can quickly restore the body's injuries, of course, can let the broken limbs of the potion, also belongs to this category.
And this kind of potion in my claws is called an intermediate level healing potion.
Since there's intermediate, then naturally there's primary, advanced, and special grade!
Whenever you are able to individually concoct a primary healing potion, then it means that you are already qualified to be called a pharmacist apprentice!
And so on, intermediate level healing potions correspond to primary level apothecaries, advanced level healing potions correspond to intermediate level apothecaries, and so on!
Isn't it strange why the rank of apothecary is one rank lower than the healing potion that needs to be refined?”
Seeing Vetter and the others nodding, Bocco smiled and said, “That's because, healing potions are the easiest to refine out of all the potions of the same level.
Alright, that should be about right, how do you guys feel?”
Vetter glanced down at his claw finger and moved it slightly before saying in surprise, “I can't believe it's already healed!”
Vetter, whose claw fingers were broken, was already healed, not to mention the other dragons.
The miraculous effect of the intermediate level healing potion had made Vetter and the others, raise their interest in the potion not a little.
Bocco wasn't surprised by this, as it was supposed to be a part of the lesson!
“Since you guys have gotten better, it's time for us to start learning further!
Successfully using the magic 'Sharpness' is just the beginning, as I said at the beginning, making potions is a meticulous job that doesn't allow for a single mistake.
This also includes the fine manipulation of magic!”
With that said, something else appeared on Bocco's clawed fingers, and then evenly distributed it in front of Vetter and the others.
Vetter looked at the stone and wooden boards in front of him in confusion, not understanding what these things were used for.
However, he understood that they were definitely not for eating!
Therefore, Vetter snatched down the wooden plank that was already about to be put into Billy's mouth.
The other dragons were already surprised by this.
They just threw Vetter a look that it was all up to you.
Billy scratched his head in hindsight and smiled in embarrassment, but this was really a subconscious maneuver!
“Alright, your task today is to pad the stone slabs underneath the planks, and then, without hurting the slabs underneath, evenly divide the planks into two pieces of exactly the same shape and size using claws imbued with 'Sharpness' magic!
Alright, let's begin!”
After saying that, Bocco closed his eyes and rested.
Seeing this, the dragons all began to get busy.
Vetter stared at his fingers and recited an incantation, and his fingers became slender at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The first step, enchanting magic, was complete!
Vetter then followed Bocco's request, placing the board on the stone slab and then carefully extending his claws over it.
However, when he actually got his hands on it, Vetter realized how difficult Bocco's request was!
As soon as the claws touched the wooden board, it was like a hot knife cutting through butter uh ...... to that world was the phrase used to describe this current situation!
His claws, with extreme ease, didn't go into the wooden boards, and the stone boards underneath were no exception!
“Due to the limited materials, you guys will practice with the first plank first, and when you can manage to cut through the plank without hurting the stone slab below, or if both the plank and the stone slab in your hands are no longer usable, I'll distribute the second one to you!
Alright, carry on!”
Obviously, Bocco had anticipated this situation.
Vetter and the others could only continue to bury their heads in the sand ......
“Too hard ...... too light ...... still not working ...... crooked ...... ”
Vetter mumbled with his mouth as he left a scratch on the wooden board in front of him, his dazzling golden pupils filled with seriousness.
At this moment, a large pile of ragged wooden slats and stones had been piled up in front of him.
In fact, it wasn't just Vetter, but the other dragons as well.
Just like Bocco said, shaping magic was easy to learn, but easy to learn and hard to master, especially in terms of manipulation.
However, in the course of practicing, Vetter noticed that unlike elemental magic, shaping magic was quite good when it came to persistence.
As long as one could ensure that there was enough elemental power within the elemental nodes, this magic could be maintained all the time.
This allowed Vetter to see another path for magic.
Before he was able to unleash elemental magic, shaping magic would allow him to enjoy the power that magic brought.
Of course, the prerequisite was that he was able to learn all three Shaping Magic and use them skillfully.
“Vetter, you're lost in thought!”
Bocco's voice pulled Vetter's thoughts back.
Looking down, the stone and wooden boards had already been split in half by him, and even the stone table underneath the boards had left a shallow white mark.
Seeing this, Vetter scratched his head in embarrassment.
“Sorry ...... hiss ......”
Vetter covered his head, feeling the stinging pain coming from it, and couldn't help but take a deep breath of cool air.
He had forgotten that his claws were enchanted with “Sharpness”!
When he scratched his head, his sharp claws, by coincidence, embedded themselves in the gaps of the scales and injured the skin underneath!
Of course, the dragon's skin, like its scales, possessed a remarkable defense, so it was only a scratch that hurt, not a scratch that broke.
Looking at Vetter rubbing his head with an embarrassed look, Bocco laughed helplessly.
“Be careful, don't be gross, that will hurt you!”
At this moment, Vetter heard another poof from behind him!
Turning his head to glare at Isha, who was smiling unusually brightly, Vetter was about to continue practicing when he heard Bocco continue, “Alright, today's lesson is over!”
Vetter froze for a moment before noticing that it was already dark outside.
Looking at the wooden board in front of him, Vetter couldn't help but sigh.
“No progress at all!”
Hearing Vetter's words, the other dragons were equally bitter as they did the same.
Seeing this, Bocco let out a light laugh.
“It's naturally difficult to control a sudden increase in power, other than that, counting the time, you guys have been studying elemental magic for a year now!
Letting you guys cast a magic is definitely no problem, but if you were to maintain that magic, how long would you be able to maintain it for at the longest?”
