Wizard: I can predict the future

Nord understood instantly upon hearing Evan's description.

The other party must have used mystical magic to obtain the relevant information from Evan.

Evan's condition is a side effect.

He didn't ask any more questions, because even if he had, Evan certainly wouldn't have known.

"It seems I shouldn't leave the academy unless absolutely necessary!"

Nord made a decision in his heart.

The dinner party ended.

Just as Nord was about to leave, Iria's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Nord, wait a minute."

Upon hearing this, Nord turned to look at Iria.

"Iria, is there anything else?"

Iria took out three magic stones from her bosom and handed them to Nord.

"for you."

Nord didn't take it, looking at Iria with a serious expression.

"What are you doing?"

Iria looked up at Nord, her face full of worry.

"I think you risked going to the Trial Forest because you were worried about Wizard Lilia's loan agreement."

"But don't worry, we'll save together, we should be able to pay it back."

Upon hearing this, Nord felt a warmth in his heart, but still did not accept the magic stone.

"Iria, you can keep these magic stones for yourself."

"Right now, since you haven't built your mental power model yet, you can buy a potion to speed up your learning progress."

"Only by becoming a wizard apprentice as soon as possible can you better help me."

He understood what Iria was thinking.

If you refuse outright, she'll probably just keep it secretly.

After leaving the tavern, Nord went straight to the mission hall.

Not long after, he arrived at the mission hall.

Unlike accepting a quest, submitting a quest takes place on the other side, where several wizard apprentices are responsible for verification and registration.

Nord submitted the materials.

After a brief inspection, the other party nodded.

"Confirmed."

"Twenty points."

The identity badge glowed slightly, indicating the mission was complete and the points were credited to the account.

Nord turned and left.

As soon as I stepped out of the mission hall, I saw Irene and Ryan walking quickly towards me from outside.

They clearly knew he had arrived at the mission hall and rushed over.

Without saying a word, Irene took out a cloth bag and handed it to Nord.

"A total of eighty-five magic stones were sold from the spoils of this Trial Forest. Here are your thirty-five."

"And the academy points, you take thirty, and Ryan and I will each take ten."

Nord took the bag without refusing.

"Can."

After saying that, the two went to the mission hall and found a crystal ball to trade for points.

In fact, a high-level crystal ball can be bound to the user's soul and magic, and then the two parties can directly trade using nameplates.

However, Nord's crystal ball is only the most basic type and does not have this function.

Points transactions can only be completed using public crystal balls within the academy.

After saying goodbye to Irene and the other person.

Nord then went to Back Alley and bought a beginner potions set and ten Moongrass.

Back at his lodgings, he took out his tools one by one and placed them on the table.

Although it's only a basic kit, it contains quite a few tools.

The set includes a mithril graduated crucible, a mithril deconstruction knife, a guide stirring rod, a magic constant temperature lamp, a magic rotator, a micro-titer bottle, a simple structure observation mirror, and three mithril containers.

The mithril graduated crucible is the core of the entire tool set.

It can not only withstand the extraction reaction of most low-level magical plants, but it is also an indispensable basic tool for mixing potions.

As for the simple structure observation mirror, it is similar to the microscope of the previous generation.

But it can not only observe the internal structure of materials, but also the energy flow of plants.

Nord stood in front of the table and watched quietly for a while.

Then he reached out and picked up a moonflower.

He did not take action directly.

Instead, he focused his attention and slowly enveloped the moongrass with his mental energy.

Soon, he seemed to hear a faint throbbing sound.

That is the flow of energy from the moonflower.

Then, he placed the moonflower in front of the observation mirror and slowly infused it with magic.

The next moment, the internal structure of the Moonlight Grass suddenly appeared in the scene, and then rapidly magnified.

Nord saw a silvery-white light flowing continuously, but the image in the mirror kept the flowing light locked in place.

I observed it carefully for a moment.

He set up the mithril container and then took out the deconstruction knife.

The movement was steady, accurately hitting the constantly flowing energy.

The next instant, a tiny drop of shimmering liquid slowly seeped out.

However, the moment it dripped, that tiny glimmer of light dimmed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the liquid dripped into the mithril container, the energy it contained had already dissipated completely.

Only a small puddle of almost transparent liquid remained.

Nord frowned, his gaze fixed on the container, lingering for a long time.

"How could this happen?"

He muttered to himself, his mind filled with doubt.

He followed all the steps in the book exactly, without missing anything.

Logically speaking, this kind of problem shouldn't occur.

"Could there be something wrong with this mithril deconstruction knife?"

His first thought was of the mithril deconstruction knife.

But he quickly dismissed this guess.

The beginner kits sold near the academy may vary in quality, but they are unlikely to be completely counterfeit.

Moreover, the Moonlight Grass's energy was extracted the instant he made his cut.

Nord didn't rush to continue the operation, but instead picked up the moonflower that had already been cut and placed it under the observation lens.

As magic was infused, the enlarged structure reappeared before our eyes.

After looking at it for a long time, he still couldn't see anything wrong.

There was silence for a moment.

He took out the moonflower again.

This time, he did not suppress his mental power.

Instead, he enveloped the Moonlight Grass with his immense spiritual power.

If Gray were in the dormitory right now, he would definitely have noticed this enormous mental power.

He struck again.

Everything was exactly the same as before, with energy dissipating.

His mental energy quickly enveloped the drop of liquid, attempting to slow its dissipation, but ultimately he failed.

This time, however, he clearly sensed the problem.

The instant the juice flowed out.

The silver energy that was originally flowing slowly along the veins of the leaf dissipated rapidly after leaving the main body, as if it had lost some kind of support.

It wasn't that it was scattered by the outside world; rather, it's more like it was never able to exist independently in the first place.

Nord picked up the cut moongrass and a whole moongrass again.

He used his mental energy to carefully sense the changes in both.

He quickly discovered the problem.

After the energy dissipated, something seemed to slowly disappear from the stems and leaves of the Moon Grass that he had cut.

He put down the cut moonflower and devoted himself entirely to studying the whole moonflower.

After a moment, he finally made a discovery.

The energy inside the moon grass is not all stored in the circulating part.

Instead, a portion of it forms an extremely weak cycle between the leaves, the main vein, and the rhizome.

This cycle is very weak and is almost imperceptible under the constant flow of energy interference.

Then he recalled the relevant records in the book.

One must accurately perceive the energy channels, guide and intercept them, in order to fully extract a valuable essence.

At the time, he thought that the energy channels were just the apparent energy flow.

Looking back now, it probably refers to this deeper level of circulation and cycle.

To extract it completely, it is necessary to follow the energy pathways and guide most of it into external energy to avoid evaporation.
