Chapter 3 Departure and Beginning
A pharmacist, or to be more precise, an unlicensed potion master. Mu Hua was reborn in this world and was born with a companion object similar to a medicine cauldron.
Is there a golden finger that is essential for time travel? The medicine cauldron, it should look very high-end no matter how you look at it.
That thing seemed like a dream or reality, and no one else could see it except Mu Hua.
This made Mu Hua firmly believe that the thing was his golden finger, and he tried to activate the golden finger many times.
Unfortunately, the golden finger seemed to be unable to start.
Based on the view that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, Mu Hua, who yearns for mystery, has been self-taught about potions and magic materials since he was a child, trying to lay a solid foundation for his soaring! ! !
But he gave up his normal studies and became a weirdo in the eyes of his peers. Until Mu Hua forced himself to become a "black market pharmacist" who could rub inferior potions by hand, the damn "golden finger" did not show any signs of activation.
All the limited time was spent on learning potion knowledge.
But let's not talk about Mu Hua's lack of clairvoyance and his low adaptability to magic. In the Lanton Empire, it is illegal to prepare anything without going to the army to pay respects.
After all, potions are magic potions, and preparing magic potions naturally requires magic materials.
And magic materials are all under control in Lanton, which is why Mu Hua is averse to the blond youth saying that the potions he prepared are useful.
Speaking of which, if you are caught sneaking into the "courtyard", at most you will be confiscated, fined, or detained.
As for privately making contraband, the situation can be big or small, depending on the mood of those officials.
If you meet someone who doesn't care, you will be forced to be a military member, give you a smile, and then you can be tied to your side as free labor. Well, you still need to be grateful, after all, Mu Hua's talent is low enough.
He has learned a lot of illegal knowledge, and can't do normal work. The income from the black market also makes Mu Hua look down on the two wages of screwing screws.
As a result, when the "golden finger" that Mu Hua had been thinking about exploded inexplicably, he naturally became a poaching teenager in the black market.
Well, it exploded, dissipated completely, without any reaction, as if the existence of that thing for many years was an illusion, and there was no place for reason.
After all, no one except him had ever seen that thing.
Life collapsed, and Mu Hua's bloody life made his mentality explode in various ways.
Unwilling to join the Royal Knights as cannon fodder, Mu Hua became a black market scoundrel at present, living a life of speculation and profiteering with some "outlaws".
At present, this twisted plain belongs to a relatively safe courtyard.
Although there may be a Goblin King here, compared with those courtyards where some demons emerge from time to time, the specifications of the monsters here are relatively uniform, and it can really be regarded as a world suitable for human survival.
Mu Hua is very weak, including the scarred face as the leader.
After all, the improvement of strength is closely related to talent, time, resources, weapons, and equipment. They are unwilling to accept the control of the empire and have very limited ways to obtain resources.
There are strange rules in the courtyard. After the projection monsters are killed, they will turn into dust, which is clean and environmentally friendly. The dust can also fertilize the land.
In addition to dust and magic stones, there is a chance that the projection monsters will drop some items after death.
Just like killing monsters and dropping treasures in the game, but these drops are sacrificial items when the monster projection descends.
It can be understood as spending money to buy life, so that they will not really die when they are killed in the courtyard. After the projection dies, their bodies will be reshaped in hell.
Biological flesh and blood tissue, finished weapons, armor, gems, magic ores, money, magic books, magic scrolls, natural treasures that enhance physical fitness, and even they can give humans experience to upgrade. The courtyard is like an alternative game space.
Because they know that the monsters in the courtyard are all from hell, some people speculate that everything in the courtyard is a conspiracy of demons.
But the power and wealth within it tempt humans to continue to venture into the courtyard and explore, making the courtyard closely connected with human society.
Of course, concepts such as hell, demons, and conspiracies are too far away from Mu Hua. They just hope to get some valuable props in the courtyard.
It would be best if they could improve their own strength. Even if they can't, even some materials scattered after the death of low-level monsters can be sold at a good price in the human world, at least compared with the salary of screwing screws.
Of course, in Lanton, transactions of people like them often have to be carried out in the black market.
Because, in order to prevent ordinary citizens with impaired minds from entering the courtyard and being threatened with life, even the loincloth of the dwarf orcs can only be traded by the empire and companies recognized by the empire.
Illegal border crossing, illegal hunting, illegal gathering, illegal trading. In short, Mu Hua's group of people are illegal from the inside out.
When Mu Hua saw the leather scroll handed to him by Scarface, his originally calm expression turned into a helpless bitter smile.
"Arrow of Extinction?" The complicated magic pattern made people want to vomit. Mu Hua felt like he had received a hot potato and threw the leather scroll with the magic circle on it back to Scarface.
"Do you really know it? Forbidden spell?" Scarface took the leather scroll back, twitched his mouth, and his eyes were also full of disgust.
"Advanced magic, just look at the picture. Did the dwarf orcs drop it?" When Mu Hua asked, Scarface nodded to confirm.
"Damn! What bad luck." Mu Hua cursed.
Arrow of Extinction, with the destructive power of a tactical missile, advanced fire magic, this is a magic book that teaches advanced fire magic.
Genuine, top-quality.
But, the premise is that the result of your attempt to learn it is not mental collapse and turning into an idiot.
Humans have indeed evolved magic adaptability, but most people only have magic adaptability comparable to that of low-level magic beasts.
And magic is still a high-end existence in this world.
The premise of safe learning and casting of magic at all levels is related to personal intelligence attributes and magic adaptability.
As for advanced magic, haha. . .
Although Mu Hua's understanding of hell is still relatively poor, it is a fact that many projected monsters in the courtyard can come again after death.
The items dropped by these monsters after their death are either what they brought when they descended, or the necessary sacrifices when they projected, and these drops are sometimes very strange.
Or some "miracles" appear in the courtyard from time to time.
For example, ordinary people can stab the dwarf orcs to death if they are brave enough. If they encounter projections, they will sometimes drop gems and strange items that the ladies love.
Mu Hua couldn't figure out whether these things were the temptations of the devil, or some monsters didn't want to descend in person, so they cheated and robbed the sacrifices.
But among these "miracles", the most annoying ones are definitely the drops of this kind of "super magic tutorial".
Reason?
No other reason, too many drops, and not so many people can learn. The attributes of the self are too poor, and activating the interpretation may kill people. When you look at the pictures too much, you will vomit, and it is a bit annoying as a collection.
Moreover, the magic fluctuations emitted by items of this grade will attract the flying scouts of the Knights in a minute.
When the scouts came to the door, it was easy to imagine what Mu Hua and his group of poachers would face.
"Retreat." Mu Hua said to Scarface.
"Look, I don't care."
"Anyway, there is nothing to gain from this trip. If you are called by the scouts, you will only be detained for a few days. However, the guide fee is not refundable." Scarface spread his hands and said to Mu Hua.
"Damn it." Mu Hua cursed. Not only did he pay the guide fee for the team, he also paid a set of inferior magic potion.
"Let's go. I will never mess around with you again. See you again if we are lucky."
The sound of the shuttle could be heard faintly in the sky in the distance. Regardless of Scarface, Mu Hua turned around and ran towards the woods and ran towards the teleportation point from when he came. There was a guide holding the courtyard key.
"Oh? If we are lucky? Where are you going?" Scarface shouted unexpectedly.
"Loren Star, Magic Empire!" Mu Hua replied angrily. This ghost empire is heartbreaking.
"Oh? Smuggling? We have a way here, it's safe!" Scarface's eyes lit up and he recommended himself loudly.
"Smuggling? Sponsored by a rich woman, riding a starship, the kind with complete procedures." Mu Hua's voice gradually faded.
"Oh, starship? Next time you start a group with some corrosive poison, I'll give you a 20% commission!" Scarface chuckled, with disdain in his eyes.
Obviously, he regarded Mu Hua's words as bragging.
In this world full of swords and magic, humans also have the ability to travel between stars.
The three major empires are located on three planets respectively, but for most ordinary people in the Lanton Empire, it is probably difficult to buy a ticket to board a starship with their life savings.
Not to mention those remote areas far away from the prosperity, the people in some city-states on Lanton Star don't even have a specific concept of interstellar travel.
Empires, principalities, city-states and courtyards in different dimensions, under the same supervision of the magic network, seem to have endless living space, which to a certain extent has also created a huge deviation in the cognition and information of some people.
