Chapter 37 Magical Flame

While Locke was resisting the human charm spell that the tree demon passively emitted, he used a knife to cut its wrist and took out the blood from its body.

“Human, you will definitely be torn to pieces by our Dryad tribe.”

“I’m going to use your heart to hatch a new dryad!”

The tree demon struggled violently, trying to break free, but the next moment, the mandrake vine, which had remained invisible, grabbed its throat and squeezed its neck, making it unable to move or speak.

The combat power of a normal tree demon is at least equal to that of a first-class wizard apprentice.

But all the iron cages in this breeding room are enchanted with the magic of the Enchanting School, which has the effect of restraining and suppressing, so Locke only needs to use a vine hand to suppress this violent tree demon.

But if he opened the cage, it would be different.

I’m afraid that this tree demon will open the iron cages of all the magical creatures in the breeding room in the shortest possible time, and then create a large-scale rebellion-like escape.

The tree demon was hanging in the air in the iron cage. It looked in front of it in confusion. Because the mandrake vines kept it invisible, the tree demon couldn’t even see clearly what attacked it.

“What’s this……”

“Damn… wizard… apprentice…”

“Wait until I get out…”

After Locke took 500ml of the tree demon’s blood, he put away the knife. He saw that the rough old tree skin of the tree demon healed quickly, leaving only a scar similar to bark.

Locke looked at the tree demon’s blood in his hand. The blood was green, but within the green, there was a color like glass.

It’s like green glass.

“For wizards, creatures like tree demons are treasures from head to toe.” Locke thought, “But just capturing and imprisoning them is fraught with danger.”

“Unless you are a first-class wizard apprentice, I’m afraid you can’t try to capture a magical creature of this level.”

Locke covered the iron cage with black cloth to prevent the tree demon from using human charm to influence other magical creatures and cause unnecessary risks.

He had read in a miscellaneous book before that there was once a wizard apprentice who imprisoned a tree demon and a dog-headed man together. As a result, the tree demon charmed the dog-headed man and escaped from the laboratory with the help of the dog-headed man.

Human charm can be effective on humanoid creatures with a certain level of intelligence.

Locke left the cultivation room and came to the wooden house where Teacher Sophia made potions, which was also her potion room.

In the potion room, various shelves were filled with bottles and jars, which contained specimens of many strange creatures. Many of them even had danger signs on them, warning others not to touch them easily.

Locke used the centrifugal extraction method to combine the dryad blood with the blood-directed extraction potion crafted by Witch Sophia, separating the necessary dryad blood essence. He then handed it to Witch Sophia. “Teacher, this is the dryad blood essence, two portions in total.”

Witch Sophia nodded, “Well, put it over there first.”

“Locke, since you are now a second-class wizard apprentice, you should learn something more useful.”

“From now on, you will be responsible for the magical flames I use to brew potions.”

Locke asked in confusion: “Teacher, what is magic flame?”

Witch Sophia waved her hand, and suddenly the entire wooden house of the potion room was lit up, and colorful flames burned in the crucibles.

There are red, blue, green, purple, and even mixed colors.

Witch Sophia raised her right hand, and a cyan flame descended upon it. “Generally speaking, a proper wizard’s Potions Assistant must be at least a second-class wizard apprentice, and sometimes even a first-class wizard apprentice.”

“That’s because the Potions Assistant needs to help his teacher control the temperature and type of magical flames.”

“Among all the miscellaneous studies, Potions, Alchemy, and Enchanting are the most complicated.”

Witch Sophia said, “An independent breeder only needs the rank of a first-class wizard apprentice.”

“But an independent potion master must have the magic level of a first-ring wizard.”

Witch Sophia said, “During the potion-making process, the requirements for flames are extremely high. The temperature and characteristics of the flames will be key factors affecting the potion’s refining.”

“For example, the wood elemental magic flame in my hand is the most gentle and close to nature. Its temperature is approximately 1,400 degrees Celsius, making it one of the more commonly used magical flames.”

“Different colored flames have different temperatures and properties.” Witch Sophia suddenly clenched her palms, extinguishing the cyan flame. Then she opened her palms, and a red flame rose from the center. “This is the elemental flame of fire, with a temperature of one thousand degrees Celsius and explosive properties. This magical flame is used when refining potions with stronger medicinal properties.”

Witch Sophia explained, “So far, you have been exposed to the mana centrifugal extraction method. Now I will teach you the more advanced magic flame technique.”

“But these are just the fringe knowledge of potions. If you want to become a true potion master, what these assistants know is far from enough.”

“Locke, the path of magic is very vast, you will have a long way to go in the future.”

“But for now, learning these things well will at least make you a good assistant.”

Locke was fascinated by what he heard.

This is the benefit of being the only student of a formal wizard.

If this knowledge were given to other formal wizards, it would not be their turn to learn it.

Other formal wizards would not allow a wizard who had just become a second-class wizard apprentice to become his assistant in potions.

Witch Sophia said to Locke, “I’ll give you the spell model of the magic flame. The specific technique is to use this spell model to summon flames and inject elemental particles according to different proportions.”

“This way you can create flames with different properties.”

“But this is just the beginning. Different potions require different magical flames. Sometimes, when refining a single potion, you need to switch between several or even dozens of magical flames.”

“Okay, start now and try to summon a flame of wood elemental particles in this crucible of mine.”

Locke was stunned for a moment, took the spell model scroll handed to him by Witch Sophia, and began to learn from the beginning.

But at this time, Wesley Durant, who had remained silent, finally couldn’t help but speak. “Sophia, I have no objection to you letting your students practice magic fire.”

“But by the time he learns it, I’m afraid I’ll have been turned into a mess by the Thousand Wounds Curse.”

“Find someone else to practice with him.”

Witch Sophia glanced at him and said, “Wesley, you know fear now.”

“But it’s not a big problem.”

“Your first-ring permanent defense field [Full Metal Digester] is a very powerful permanent defense magic. You won’t actually die for at least a week.”

“Locke has a good talent for mana stability. The spell model of Magic Flame is very simple. The key is to have stable mana. He is very talented in this area, so you don’t have to worry.”

Under Wesley Durant’s slightly panicked gaze, Witch Sophia found a stool and sat down, and actually began to flip through the books and started reading.
