Chapter 160: Plunder

Dragon language magic is notoriously difficult for wizards like Helag to master.

The spell models for dragon language magic are incredibly complex, requiring a lot of time and effort to master.

However, Helag no longer needs to build spell models to master dragon language magic.

With the dragon bloodline power he possesses, he can awaken the inherited dragon language magic by continuing to absorb dragon bloodline power, automatically gaining the ability to cast dragon language magic.

Helag glanced at his data panel, realizing it no longer fully represented his capabilities. “Deep Blue, adjust my data panel to include a talent section.”

“Adjustment complete.”

Name: Helag Merlin

Strength: 22.8

Agility: 22.6

Constitution: 24.1

Spirit: 46

Mana: 100%

Talents: Great Dark Heaven, Bloodline Perception, Advanced Fire Resistance, Dragon Language Mastery.

These are his current stats. The dragon bloodline power directly enhanced his stats, unlike the Primordial Thunder God’s bloodline, which required activation to boost his stats.

After a year of meditation and absorbing dragon blood, Helag’s stats reached over twenty points each. With various enhancements, he estimated they could exceed forty points.

After absorbing the dragon blood, Helag intended to collect some of Shatia’s blood for experiments, but Brack arrived with a serious expression.

“Mr. Brack, what’s happened?” Helag asked.

Brack replied, “We’ve just received news that a batch of finished potions from the Gem Peak Potion Garden was stolen. We need you to urgently help remake them.”

“No problem,” Helag agreed immediately, then asked, “Stolen? By whom?”

Brack shook his head. “We’re not sure yet. The wizard apprentices and knights transporting the potions were all killed. The attackers were clearly prepared, erasing all traces. The family is holding a meeting to discuss this.”

“The potions were contracted with Augustus Academy and must be delivered on time. We need you to make fifty of the hundred Hammer Potions in fifteen days.”

The contract meant that failing to deliver on time would breach the agreement, leading to consequences.

Helag didn’t know the exact repercussions, but Brack’s expression indicated they were severe.

If it were an ordinary wizard family, they might negotiate, but the Terchy family had a contract with Augustus Academy, backed by the powerful wizard organization in the Land of Dawn, far stronger than the Terchy family.

Hammer Potion is a high-level potion that enhances strength, agility, and constitution, typically used by knights and grand knights.

Wizards generally don’t rely on physical combat, so these potions are for their knights.

With a hundred potions needed, Helag had to make fifty in fifteen days, averaging three to four per day.

This wasn’t difficult for Helag, but it would take up some of his experiment time, delaying Shatia’s bloodline research by half a month.

“Alright, I’ll start preparing to make the Hammer Potions,” Helag nodded.

Brack said, “The task is heavy, and I hope you understand. The family has no choice.”

In his view, making fifty potions in fifteen days was a daunting task, putting pressure on Helag, and he felt a bit guilty.

Helag smiled nonchalantly, “It’s fine. I took the money, so I should do the work. When the Terchy family is in trouble, I naturally need to help more to get through it.”

Brack patted Helag’s shoulder without saying anything.

The materials for the Hammer Potions were quickly prepared, all available in Blackrock Valley.

In the lab, Helag waved his hand, and a batch of potion materials appeared on the floor, just a portion of the materials, with more in his space ring.

He picked up a white root from the materials, which looked ordinary.

This was a potion material called Mist Root, notable for its growth process.

Mist Root is hard to find in nature and is usually cultivated by wizards.

Its cultivation involves suspending seeds in the air, watering them with magic. After about half a month, the seeds, enveloped in magic, sink into the soil below.

Once in the soil, the seeds develop into these white roots.

In nature, Mist Root only grows in areas with extremely dense energy particles, allowing it to germinate and grow in the soil.

Processing Mist Root is also unique. Helag needs to infuse it with magic, compressing it into gas with high-quality magic.

This must be done in a special round-bellied sealed glass bottle, where magic penetrates the bottle, compressing the Mist Root into white gas, forming a mist.

The mist must be enveloped in magic to maintain its properties.

While maintaining the mist’s stability with magic, Helag began processing other potion materials.

“Having an assistant would make things much easier,” Helag thought, continuing his work.

Making high-level potions is complex and requires multitasking, which only formal wizards with strong mental power can handle.

But it’s still tiring, and having help would be beneficial.

Larry’s household sprite used to be his potion assistant, but it’s now too old to help.

Helag wanted an assistant, but they needed to be trustworthy and skilled.

Trustworthy assistants are hard to find, and skilled ones aren’t cheap. Helag couldn’t afford such an assistant, especially after buying Shatia, leaving him with only three hundred magic stones.

With Shatia bound by a master-servant contract, Helag had a perfect assistant.

Shatia, as his servant, was completely obedient, eliminating trust issues.

More importantly, Shatia was a royal elf with high magical affinity, capable of being a potion assistant. All she needed was to learn potion-related knowledge.

Elves have high affinity with plants, aiding the potion-making process. Their natural control over plants aligns perfectly with potion-making requirements.
