Chapter 296: Blessing
A few days later, Deep Sea Kiss, the beach by the sea.
Hua!
Hua!
Hua!
The seawater washed up on the beach again and again, and then slowly retreated, staining the beach with gray wet spots.
Heath stood by the beach, holding a conch in his hand and gently blowing it. The air current passed through the conch and made a low and strange sound, somewhat like the low cry of a whale in the sea.
A shallow ripple appeared on the surface of the sea in the distance, and then the ripple became more and more intense. It was vaguely visible that a figure seemed to have risen from the bottom of the sea.
Splash! A clear sound of flowing water was heard.
A beautiful blonde girl jumped out of the sea. The big fish tail behind her revealed the identity of the other party, the legendary Mermaid.
The girl lay on a reef above the sea and said to Heath on the shore, “Who taught you the song?”
Heath said, “I heard from my Apprentice. I heard that I can make you appear as long as I play ‘My Lover’ on the sea.”
The Mermaid that appeared on the sea was none other than Nami, whom Heath had met on the day he came to Deep Sea Kiss.
Nami said, “Oh! It seems that I should learn how to keep a secret, but what should I do? Mermaids can’t stand secrets, and they all confide in the conches, and these conches will eventually fall into the hands of the Apprentices.”
She pulled her hair in distress.
“Forget it, you’ll know when you know. There’s nothing to hide anyway.”
Her furrowed brows relaxed, then she shook her hair and turned her head around. Her face was full of her usual bright smile. “Then, strange Wizard, why did you summon Nami?”
Heath said, “I want you to bless me.”
There was another ingredient needed to concoct Sublimation Water, which was the blessing of a high-level demonized creature. This was the effect of the auxiliary additive of Sublimation Water, which would affect the success rate of the concoction of Sublimation Water.
The first thing that Heath thought of was this Mermaid that lived in the inland sea.
Although there were many high-level demonized creatures, there were not many who could give blessings. The Mermaid of the Seafolk Race was just one of them.
Nami’s eyes lit up, she said in surprise, “Your soul and spirit make me unable to feel the traces of the passage of time. It’s really unexpected. You can become an intermediate Wizard at such a young age. Are you a legendary magic genius?”
Heath shrugged. “I’m just lucky.”
Nami shook her head. “Luck is also a part of strength.”
After a pause, she hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, “It’s not impossible for me to give you my blessing… But according to the principle of equal exchange of Wizards, what price Is Mr. Wizard prepared to pay for this?”
Heath raised his eyebrows. “What does Miss Nami want?”
Nami did not hesitate. “A pair of legs. Human legs.”
Heath asked, “So, you really want to stick to the legend?”
When Nami first went to the sea to sing to attract sailors, she was not experienced enough to pull the sailors into the sea. Instead, she was caught in the fishing net and was almost killed.
However, the sailor who caught her did not hurt her. Instead, he cut open the fishing net and let her go back to the sea.
Although Mermaids were a cruel race, they were also grateful. Nami was going to give the young sailor a treasure in the sea, but before she could say it… The sailor had already left her and returned to land.
So Nami decided to go to land to find the sailor. She deliberately came to Deep Sea Kiss to find a pair of human legs from the Wizards here.
Heath said, “Forgive me for being blunt, but I’m afraid this is not a good idea. The Wizards are not willing to operate on you because you can’t pay enough Magic Stones.”
A high-level demonized creature who wanted a transformation spell like Nami would not be permanent. To have legs, one could only use body modification. It was not easy to modify the body of a high-level demonized creature… Even Heath’s current strength was not fully assured to do it…
Nami said affirmatively, “No matter how big the risk is, I’m willing to take it.”
Heath was a little hesitant.
Nami said, “Don’t Wizards always accept equal exchange? Is it because my blessing is not enough to pay the price?”
Heath’s eyebrows relaxed. “I’ll help you with the surgery after I return from the Deep Sea Feast. Before that, you should prepare the materials.”
Nami let out a long sigh of joy. “Ah ha, I finally don’t have to collect those disgusting and troublesome aquatic plants anymore. I finally don’t have to do those strange experiments for the Wizards anymore. Let the Magic Stones go to h*ll!”
…
After agreeing to the agreement of Deep Sea Kiss, Heath had successfully obtained a Purple Coral from Orinoco. Now, with Nami’s blessing, all the materials to prepare the Sublimation Water were ready.
Heath did not delay any further and immediately began to prepare the Sublimation Water.
Actually, according to the classification, Sublimation Water was already a Rank 2 magic potion. With Heath’s current strength as a beginner rank Wizard, it was still quite difficult. According to his original plan, he planned to wait for a period of time. Only after reaching the peak of the beginner rank would he prepare it. This way, he would have more confidence.
However, the plan could not keep up with the rapid changes. In order to give Heath more confidence in the Deep Sea Feast, Orinoco also agreed to help Heath concoct the Sublimation Water.
According to the rules set by the Golden Islands, the Wizards participating in the Deep Sea Feast could only be at the beginner rank. However, if the Wizards were to advance to the intermediate rank during the Deep Sea Feast, this was also in accordance with the rules.
Heath’s current strength was already at the late stage of the beginner rank, and he was not far from reaching the peak. If he brought Sublimation Water into the Deep Sea Feast and advanced… There was no doubt that he had a good chance of winning during the Deep Sea Feast.
Because of this, Orinoco also participated in Heath’s potion preparation. With the help of this advanced-level Wizard, Heath naturally did not need to wait any longer.
Deep Sea Kiss, Orinoco’s Potion Lab.
Bang!
A ball of colorful flames rose from the large black pot. Orinoco casually threw a ball of Starry Grass into the black pot, then picked up the short wand next to him, and started stirring.
“Adding some Starry Grass is better. During the process of sublimation, sometimes we will lose our way, and the Starry Grass can light up our souls, allowing us to find the place we should go when we are lost.”
“It’s best to stir the potion clockwise. The properties of Sublimation Water belong to the positive energy element. If it’s counter-clockwise, it will inevitably cause the elements to react in the opposite direction…”
It was probably because Heath’s addition had indeed helped Orinoco a lot, or perhaps it was because of Orinoco’s personality. In short, he did not guard against knowledge like other Wizards. On the contrary, he generously taught Heath some experience while concocting the potion.
Heath stood at the side, holding a notebook in his hand. He recorded every single thing Orinoco said in detail so that he could digest it in the future.
At this moment, Orinoco picked up a potion bottle. Inside the bottle was a substance that was as shiny as starlight. This was none other than the blessing of the Mermaid, Nami.
Looking at the starlight, Orinoco said in surprise, “The smell of a Mermaid. Did you get this from the little Mermaid in the gray sea?”
Heath nodded and said, “Miss Nami is very generous.”
Orinoco suddenly asked, “Why? Did you promise her? Give her a pair of legs?”
