Chapter 39: Sleeping Potion (Thanks to Gunda Alliance Leader)
"Do you have any potions that can help restore your mental strength? Lend them to me first."
It was definitely unrealistic to meditate on the spot at this moment, so Ronan asked the people around him if they had the corresponding potion.
Old Wells and others shook their heads, and the middle-aged wizard Barry said that he could help Ronan ask those wizards who were dependent on him.
Barry walked into the crowd and Ronan watched him ask people one by one.
The responses were mostly shakes of head.
There were also faint complaints.
"Didn't we agree to pay you after we get to the town? Why are you asking for benefits now?"
Finally, when Wizard Barry came back with a helpless look on his face, he naturally got nothing.
Ronan didn't feel disappointed, as he was just trying his luck.
The price of mental power recovery potions is almost the same as that of concentration potions. How could the lower-class wizards living in the tree house area possibly have them?
Even if he had it, he might not be willing to give it up, even though Ronan specifically told Barry that he bought it with his own money, not letting others give it away for free.
"Forget it, let's go."
Ronan originally thought of giving up and asked everyone to continue on their way.
Unexpectedly, just as I was about to leave, a weak voice sounded in my ears.
"Is it okay as long as it's a potion that can help restore your mental strength?"
Ronan was startled and quickly looked in the direction of the voice, only to find that the person who spoke was Barry's son, the young second-level apprentice wizard who was standing in front of him and dared not breathe heavily.
"Do you have it? Take it out and let me see."
Ronan spoke quickly. He remembered that Barry had introduced his son before, and his son's name was Sean.
"He has a fart!"
Before Sean could say anything, Barry got anxious and stared at Sean and shouted, "Have you ever seen a recovery potion? Do you know how many magic stones are in a potion? How dare you say such a thing?!"
"I definitely don't have a recovery potion, but I made my own! It's almost as effective."
Sean retorted unconvincedly and directly took out four or five bottles of medicine from his waist bag.
Ronan was quite surprised. He looked at Sean and asked, "You are actually a pharmacist?"
Sean smiled embarrassedly, but Barry was helpless, "What kind of pharmacist is he? He just tinkers with the potion book he bought from the street stall. I've never seen him take meditation so seriously... Alas."
Ronan didn't respond to Barry's words. He picked up the potion Sean handed over and looked at it in front of him.
The low-quality crystal bottle was filled with gray potion, and the obvious black sediment in it made Ronan hesitate.
"Are you sure it has the effect of restoring mental strength?"
Ronan looked at Sean.
Sean patted his chest and assured, "Of course, I've drunk it myself, more than once.
Just one bottle can fully restore my mental strength
."
Sean hesitated at the end of his words, "There are some minor side effects."
It would be unreasonable if there were no side effects.
Ronan was not surprised and asked Sean what the side effects were.
"I feel sleepy. I feel sleepy immediately after drinking it..."
Feeling sleepy?
Ronan frowned, "How long do you usually sleep after taking the medicine?"
"Half an hour."
Sean answered without thinking, and then Barry beside him slapped his head hard, "Drink a potion and sleep for half an hour, what kind of mental power recovery potion is this? It's a knockout potion!"
Sean covered his head and yelled, "So I named it the Sleepiness Potion!"
"."
Everyone present was speechless, but Ronan was looking at the potion in his hand and fell into deep thought.
"Every nap lasts half an hour?"
"Not necessarily. Sometimes it only lasts twenty minutes."
"Have you ever drunk it alone?"
"Yes, yes."
As Sean spoke, he glanced at Barry beside him with a guilty look.
After Ronan asked Sean a few questions, he thought for a while, unscrewed the bottle, poured a little into his mouth, tasted it, and then drank the whole bottle in one breath.
The people around him were shocked. It was too late to stop him. They could only stare at Ronan's reaction with wide eyes.
The effect of the medicine comes quickly.
Just as Sean said, Ronan soon began to feel sleepy.
A strong sense of sleepiness surged up like a tide, he yawned one after another, and his eyelids kept drooping.
One, two, three times.
"Shua——"
Ronan woke up suddenly, as if he had taken a short nap in class on a summer afternoon, and he felt indescribably clear-headed.
"How long have I slept?"
Ronan asked the people around him. Old Wells took out a brass pocket watch and looked at it. He hesitated and said, "Half a minute? Maybe less than that."
"Tsk."
Ronan's eyes lit up and a look of delight appeared on his face.
Just as he guessed, the side effect of the sleeping potion, which makes people feel sleepy, varies from person to person.
The skinny young man Sean only sleeps for half an hour, but he is strong and only takes a half-minute nap after taking a bottle.
As for the recovery of mental power, the effect is indeed very good. Ronan's mental power, which was originally only half left, is now almost full.
"Very good, this potion is very useful to me!"
Ronan patted Sean's shoulder with satisfaction, and casually took out two low-level magic stones from his waist bag, as if to buy all the bottles of sleeping potion that Sean took out.
In fact, Sean's "sleeping potion" is not as magical as others think. To put it bluntly, it uses drugs to make people enter a state similar to deep sleep, thereby helping to quickly replenish energy.
There is absolutely no comparison with the recovery potion that can help recover while casting spells in battle.
But in the current situation, used on Ronan who has a strong physique, it seems surprisingly appropriate.
Ronan gave Sean a few words of encouragement and then told everyone to keep going.
The two magic stones he gave were forcibly returned by Barry, and Sean himself didn't care.
In comparison, being able to help Ronan and making people around him look at him with new eyes already made him very happy and excited.
There was obviously more light in Sean's eyes, and he became more confident. Even Barry's attitude towards his own son improved a lot.
The group headed towards the town in a mighty procession, and the journey was unexpectedly smooth.
Except for occasionally encountering a few short-sighted robber wizards, who would immediately turn pale and run away after taking one look at the large number of them, there were basically no setbacks.
Seeing that they were only ten minutes away from getting out of the forest, the team began to get agitated.
Many people gathered together and whispered as they walked,
glancing at Ronan from the corner of their eyes from time to time. Some even walked further and further away, sneakily, as if they would leave the team in the next second and go into the small woods nearby. Ronan looked at them coldly, with no expression on his face.
He had expected this to happen.
When life safety is guaranteed and fear subsides, someone will definitely start to feel bad about the protection fee of the four magic stones.
He didn't do anything, so why did he ask us for four magic stones?
If I had known that I would be so lucky and not encounter any danger, I shouldn't have agreed to pay any protection money!
Ronan knew exactly what these guys were thinking at the moment, but he was too lazy to care about it, and he couldn't care less.
However, the wizard Barry looked very anxious and seemed to be hesitant to speak to Ronan several times.
After walking a little further, some people finally couldn't hold back and deliberately slowed down their pace or sneaked towards the bushes on the side.
It seemed that this temporary escape team was about to fall apart in the next second, and at this moment,
"Roar!"
An unusual roar of a wild beast suddenly sounded from the front, shocking the entire team.
Thank you, Gunda leader, thank you~
