Kobold Wizard's Journal

Chapter 473 Harvest and Pleasure

Ruger straightened his robe, which was old but more comfortable. After becoming a special fur herder, he was no longer afraid of fur sticking to it. He used to collect the fur that fell off and stuck to his robe regularly. Of course, this improved after he used the Spirit Fur Nourishment Technique. Later, when the Blood Curse Doll was born, the fur that occasionally fell off was treated as snacks and integrated into its body.

Although the experimental corner was somewhat rudimentary, it still had everything it needed, most of which were secondhand items discarded by His Excellency Kurt.

Ruger hummed a song haphazardly as he walked to an experimental table in the corner and began to modify the table's layout and magic array according to his own understanding.

This is an experimental platform designed for easy modification. For example, once the surface of a magic circle is inscribed, and a secret mark is left, it can be erased starting from one corner. Before the platform is completely destroyed, it can be modified at will. What Luger is doing now is to conduct a preliminary material selection process in order to cultivate spirit hair. The cultivation of fire-resistant spirit hair and these material selection steps are all derived from the complete knowledge sublimated by the hair shepherd.

However, it is not only used for cultivating spirit hair. This method of prior screening and finding alternative materials is a common practice among many wizards.

This also shows that the wizard who wrote the original text of The Shepherd's Ascension was a meticulous and gentle person who wrote down a lot of basic knowledge in detail.

Of course, it could also be an attempt to get more people to accept this somewhat bizarre ritual of spiritual elevation.

A peculiar field dedicated to cultivating one's own fur.

Therefore, many people have mastered this method of material selection, such as Kurt and Mahama. What is valuable is the set of reference materials included in the sublimation knowledge of the herder. For each material, following the steps in the knowledge, what kind of reaction is obtained, and after specific observation, whether it can correspond to the reaction and to what extent it can be considered for use.

In short, the unseen author of the Ascension Writings wanted everyone who achieved Ascension to be able to independently cultivate Fire-resistant Spirit Hair at least once.

Greatness and sincerity.

As Ruger worked, he sighed inwardly.

He hummed a little tune as his hands moved with increasing efficiency. According to his deduction, the wizard who left this knowledge in the ascension ceremony was not simply asking the ascendant to complete a simple spiritual hair cultivation, but rather to open up their thinking. He didn't even directly write down the fixed names of the materials, but gave a method and general standards for selecting materials. This was to tell the ascendant that the cultivation of spiritual hair also required exploration, was not bound by any particular method, and required everyone to think outside the box.

There's probably also the idea of ​​cultivating spiritual hair and having a bright future, a way of wanting people to acknowledge the significance of this ascension ritual.

As Ruger worked, he pondered the identity of this wizard, whose name he did not yet know and whose existence he was uncertain.

It's even unknown whether that so-called "Furry Lovers Association" still exists.

After all, he obtained this sublimation ritual when he first peered into that door through the black book; it was not taught to him by anyone, and he had no idea when it had existed.

Regarding the so-called world of knowledge beyond that door, there is a theory that, just as people's dreams can influence the nightmare world in a special way, there is a similar theory about the world of knowledge. It is said that the world contains all the knowledge that people have mastered throughout history, and the secret knowledge that is not passed on to outsiders will also roam in that world. And similar to some of the wonders in the nightmare world, the knowledge in the world of knowledge will also give birth to knowledge that people did not know before through collision.

It has been said that mastering the world of knowledge is not just about mastering knowledge itself, but also about mastering many of the world's secrets.

Ruger hummed a song as he finished setting everything up, eagerly beginning the first round of selection.

A well-placed lighting technique, and then an essential writing technique.

A simple, albeit somewhat rudimentary, experimental environment was thus prepared. Naturally, the first step was to start with some materials that he had collected around him on a daily basis, materials that he believed were likely to meet the requirements. These included scales that he, Aiskin, and Da Shaheng occasionally shed for various reasons, as well as some shells that Zhizhi had shed.

Of course, there's also dragon blood, soil soaked in dragon blood, and some unused spoils of war, as well as local specialties collected casually in the Nightmare World and Fairy Kingdom—flowers, plants, strange stones, oddly shaped bones, and even ingredients—all of which become part of Luger's exploration.

Time slips away unnoticed.

He picked up his notebook, which contained notes detailing the performance of each material in the tests. For some special materials, he also recorded the stepwise changes in their responses.

He usually felt that he didn't have much, and he was always one of the poorer wizard apprentices. After becoming a wizard, he became an even poorer full-fledged wizard. After all, he didn't stay at each stage for long. Most of the wizard apprentices accumulated wealth at the fifth level limit. When they could no longer make great strides, they had more time and energy.

But after a busy day, he realized that he had quite a lot of junk in his hands. Some of it he would have forgotten when he collected it into his bedroom space if he hadn't seen it again. However, apart from some things that were inconvenient to touch, the two kobolds would usually help him organize and put them on the shelves.

Of course, he's in a great mood right now.

The greatest achievement is that he has completely mastered this method, which is an undeniable gain. The so-called interconnectedness of knowledge means that by trying to cultivate spiritual hair, he should be able to explore and learn more in subsequent attempts, and then apply what he has learned to other fields.

Everything we do is actually preparing for greater gains in the future. We keep exploring and moving forward, and even if we don't see the end, every step we take is a wonderful harvest.

Gulu!
Ruger stopped what he was doing. Things weren't accomplished in a day; he was now the Wizard Ruger.

Thinking this, he suppressed his inexplicable eagerness and decided to enjoy a delicious meal, hoping that the ingredients the rabbit had brought would surprise him.

He strode toward the holy site where the chefs fought.

The few furry guys have already become good friends over there, just as Ruger predicted.

Despite their different experiences and personalities, they share a common trait in Ruger's eyes.

Friends are something like that.

Ruger looked at them with a smile.

Although he would usually buy and store kitchen utensils that were not in the space, it was clear that those things were not enough at the moment.

An old table from the old Lunser's apothecary was already piled high with various cut-up ingredients, and the newly acquired oven was already running at full speed. This oven also came from that old man, and it was the biggest gain besides the fireball spellbook and notes. It also showed that the old man loved to eat roasted meat during his journey.

Aiskin was initially pleased to see Ruger, but her face quickly fell.

Ruger smiled. He knew he must have missed something delicious. Sometimes good food can't be preserved; it loses its flavor when it gets cold.
