Chapter 1224: Section 1225 Star Frost
On the way back from outside the city, Angel still occasionally lowered his head to look at the item in his hands.
A magic power waist pouch with a diagonal strap.
The strap was a deep purple, with mysterious and profound patterns, and it looked quite exquisite. This counted as a spatial artifact, though it was basically a style favored by witches.
As for spatial artifacts, Angel could refine them himself, so he did not care much for them, especially since this one was fashioned more for women. However, the items contained within this spatial artifact were of great interest to him.
A while later, Angel returned to the stone chamber above the prayer chapel.
In the room, Angel took out an item from the magic power waist pouch. Or rather, there was only this one item inside the magic power waist pouch.
A few vials wrapped in leather paper.
Angel unwrapped the leather paper, and the potions inside were revealed: three life-type potions, namely “Deep Blue Water,” “Regeneration Potion,” and “Song Without Rhyme,” all three of which were intermediate potions; besides those, there was also one very precious high-level potion: “Blura’s Peach Red Potion.”
Deep Blue Water was an upgraded version of Shallow Blue Water. Shallow Blue Water could extend life by 5-15 years, while Deep Blue Water could add 30-50 years to one’s lifespan. Like the Shallow Blue Water, it could be used up to five times, but it had no restrictions on using other lifespan-extending potions.
Regeneration Potion, as the name implies, was capable of regenerating limbs.
Song Without Rhyme was a potion from the Reformist School, somewhat similar in effect to “Lawless Rhyme,” able to restore mental trauma, but the effect of Song Without Rhyme was at least a hundred times stronger than Lawless Rhyme.
All three were quite useful intermediate potions, but it was the sole high-level potion, Blura’s Peach Red Potion, that was not very useful to Angel.
Because “Blura’s Peach Red Potion” was actually just an enhanced and improved version of a regular “Peach Red Potion,” whose effect was to refine one’s bloodline to a hundred percent purity.
This was useful for Bloodline Wizards who frequently integrated bloodlines. It wasn’t of much use to Angel, but, being a high-level potion, it had a value unmatched by other potions. If it wasn’t useful to him, he could sell it.
Angel was quite satisfied with the harvest of these few potions, but what really caught his attention wasn’t the potions themselves.
Angel casually put the potions into his bracelet and instead picked up the piece of leather paper that had wrapped the potions with great care.
This was a piece of Chaos Drum Beast leather paper.
The paper looked as if it came with a sanding effect; a light rub would produce a misting effect.
It was a type of leather paper capable of bearing a mana array. To bear an array didn’t mean to use Chaos Drum Beast leather paper to make mana array scrolls. Instead, it meant one could use this paper to practice drawing mana arrays without the risk of explosion.
Because its arcane nullification effect was incredibly strong.
Thus, this piece of leather paper didn’t have any energy fluctuations of its own.
Angel took notice of this leather paper because when he first took the magic power waist pouch, he had sent his spiritual power into the space and saw at a glance the large characters on the paper.
——Star Frost.
Speaking of Star Frost, one might think of many things such as Star Frost potions, Star Frost demonic materials, and so on. But Wodell had said that this magic power waist pouch belonged to “Sin City Walker” Pusio who disappeared here a hundred years ago.
Pusio was a True Knowledge Wizard from Frostmoon, and regarding “Star Frost” associated with the Frostmoon Alliance, the first thing that would come to mind was surely the “Star Frost Meditation Method.”
This was a famous special guiding method with a base compatibility level of around 9!
Don’t be fooled by the seemingly low base value, but it’s worth noting that in the Barbarian Cave, the core guiding method with the highest base compatibility, “Montos Eight-Faced Guiding Method,” had a base value of only 13.
Therefore, the Star Frost Meditation Method was already considered an upper-medium level among special guiding methods, not to be learned by anyone outside the core members in any large Witcher Organization.
When Angel saw “Star Frost” on the leather paper, he immediately thought of the Star Frost Meditation Method. He didn’t lack guiding methods, but he could give it to his brother, Lyon!
So, he didn’t refuse and directly accepted the magic power waist pouch at that time.
However, to determine whether it was indeed the “Star Frost Meditation Method” or not, Angel needed further confirmation.
He spread out the Chaos Drum Beast leather paper on the stone bed, and the next moment, a look of disappointment flashed in Angel’s eyes; the entire paper only had the words “Star Frost,” nothing else.
“It seems I was overthinking it,” Angel murmured with a sigh.
Indeed, the Star Frost Meditation Method accounted for one of Frostmoon’s core guiding methods; how could it be so easily obtained. Moreover, for Pusio to trade this guiding method with non-humans was somewhat impossible.
Despite his disappointment, Angel reasoned that the few potions he acquired weren’t a loss.
He picked up the leather paper, intending to put it into his bracelet. But just as his fingers touched the paper, a unique tactile sensation of ridges made him pause.
Angel seemed to realize something, laid the paper back down flat, and started to gently trace it with his fingertips.
At first, he thought that the ridges on the paper might be hidden text.
But upon closer examination, he discovered
Clutching the newly rekindled hope, Angel put away the parchment.
In the time that followed, Angel had planned to continue testing his right eye, but by yesterday his power of Nightmare Illusion had been completely exhausted, and a period of accumulation was needed. Moreover, when he returned just a moment ago, Greerwu told him that yesterday a terrifying oppressive force had burst from his room, nearly spreading to half of Wei City and nearly causing many undead to dissipate.
Only then did Angel realize the consequences of his actions the day before.
To avoid trouble, Angel decided to postpone testing his right eye. Although he could activate his right eye with magic power to test the “mask”‘s special effects, no one could guarantee what might happen; after all, his right eye came from that terrifying being.
Even though he couldn’t test his right eye, Angel had gained a basic understanding of it from the feedback of the previous day.
Using the power of Nightmare Illusion to activate the right eye seemed to release an oppressive sensation similar to an aura of majesty, even affecting Greerwu, a little demon comparable to an Official Wizard. This, indeed, was a useful skill.
Angel stood up, initially planning to add a bit of oil to the wall lamp.
However, as his feet touched the ground, a slight depression appeared on the smooth floor.
Angel silently looked at the footprint on the floor, his gaze shifting slightly to survey the entire room, where there were, in fact, more than this single footprint. Moreover, they extended all the way to the door.
After a long while, a murmur came from the dim room, “It seems there’s work to be done.”
