Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 152 Taking Medicine
The vast city was engulfed in flames, littered with corpses, and filled with the cries of anguish.

Those who were still alive, whether they were once noble nobles or ragged commoners, all looked up at the sky in fear and numbness.

Rumble!
Various attacks rained down from the sky: heat waves, freezing temperatures, and the wails of the undead... These might just be casually unleashed by those above, but for the ants on the ground, they were utterly devastating.

The city has a towering building painted in green and blue, perfectly matching the theme of a jungle home and serving as a landmark of Band City.

At this moment, the tall building completely collapsed, even affecting the surrounding houses and crushing countless people.

In the sky, more and more owl wizards dressed in dark black robes appeared, and several wizards in crimson robes gradually became outmatched and began to retreat while fighting.

……

"Add 35 grams of salt to one liter of water. My bathtub holds 300 liters, so I need 10 kilograms of salt..."

Yaro is preparing the prerequisites for drinking 'Song of the Sea'.

Using this method, the resulting water will be closer to seawater.

Of course, using ordinary water isn't impossible, but the closer to seawater, the better the final result. If you're even bolder and use seawater directly, you're more likely to gain the attention of the 'Sea God' and receive a harpoon from him from time to time.

After washing himself clean, Yaro placed the 'Siren's Song' and 'Purification Potion' next to the bathtub, took a deep breath, and immersed himself in the bathtub.

Don't drink it right away, just let it soak in it.

As time passed, Yaro's skin lost its former plumpness, appearing exceptionally pale and dry.

After pinching his fingers to make sure the feel was right, Yaro nodded, then picked up the blue-looking 'Siren's Song,' which was still bubbling like soda, and drank it all in one gulp without wasting a single drop.

It tastes a bit like concentrated mint. Even though it's at normal temperature, it has a pungent, refreshing coolness after you drink it.

In just a moment, the skin, which had turned pale from being soaked, gradually regained its plumpness. At this time, however, the skin had taken on a strange deep blue hue, and the arrector pili muscles outside the water surface all bulged up, forming a large patch of uncomfortable goosebumps.

cold!
It’s so cold!

The sun was shining brightly outside.

The bathtub was clearly filled with room temperature water.

But Yaro felt an unusual chill in the outside world, while the water in the bathtub felt incredibly comforting.

Unable to bear the cold, yet needing to do so, Yaro gradually immersed his entire body in the salt water.

……

black.

Endless darkness.

Upon reaching the deepest part of the ocean, the surrounding liquid was unusually viscous and completely devoid of light.

silence.

open.

One day, two days?
One year, two years?
Here, time has lost its meaning.

In a state between dreaming and waking, Yaro inexplicably heard a voice.

The sound was deep and resonant, its lingering notes echoing and touching the heartstrings.

It's like listening to the sound of a conch shell, but countless times more beautiful.

This is a sound, and this is also a song.

As the voice rang out, Yaro's consciousness grew heavier yet more comfortable, and he unknowingly entered a meditative state. Only then did Yaro realize that the scattered magic in his sea of ​​consciousness seemed to have also heard the song, and like iron filings drawn by a magnet, it gradually gathered together and shifted in one direction.

"effective!"

Yaro cannot be allowed to act freely, as that would only waste the potion's effects.

Thus, he activated the three core principles of meditation.

Red, blue, and yellow rays of light bloomed in the sea of ​​consciousness, fixing their own position while also creating a opposing pull on the scattered magical energy around them.

As Yaro relaxed slightly, the scattered magic power shifted outwards. By strengthening the core, the scattered magic power was drawn back together.

In this back and forth, the scattered magic power, like fine powder, was gradually kneaded into a ball.

As this process was repeated, the scattered magic power became increasingly concentrated, while the effects of the medicine gradually dissipated. The sound echoing in his consciousness became more and more piercing, and a hideous white phantom appeared and disappeared at the edge of Yaro's sea of ​​consciousness.

"almost!"

With a slight shift in consciousness, Yaro quickly broke free from his meditative state and opened his eyes, only to discover that the blue marks on his body's surface had turned into large patches of fish scales.

Without thinking, I quickly pulled my arm out of the water. The blue marks on my arm twitched rapidly, as if my entire arm had been pierced by countless tiny knives.

"hiss!"

Human will has its limits, but even the most intense pain is unlikely to break a person's will in a short time.

Because of the limited information that can be transmitted per unit of time in the neural structure, even if the information is fully utilized, the information that passes through in a short moment cannot destroy a normal person's belief.

Therefore, there is an old saying: a short pain is worse than a long one!
He gritted his teeth, grabbed the 'purification potion' next to him, and drank it down in one gulp!
Goo, goo, goo!

Like ice meeting fire, the blue patterns on his body rapidly receded, starting from his limbs. The cold and pain melted away instantly, and a feeling of comfort returned. The dopamine released to suppress the pain surged up, and the dramatic difference in sensation almost made Yaro groan aloud.

When the feeling of being pulled away finally reached his head, a terrible scream suddenly exploded in Yaro's consciousness, startling him so much that he couldn't help but shudder.

Then wisps of blue mist drifted out, and a faint fish-man face appeared, wailing in pain, before gradually dissipating in mid-air.

Only after that did the chilling sensation throughout my body completely subside.

"Is this the wizard's path of climbing venomous snake vines?"

Feeling the foundation already built in his mind, Yaro's understanding of this sentence became even deeper.

He was panting heavily, and even with the recovery ability enhanced by the Knight's Breathing Technique, it still took him quite a while to regain the strength to get up.

After rinsing his body again and gradually regaining his strength, Yaro entered the laboratory and meditated again in the quiet room that had been cleaned in advance.

Now that the magic has solidified, we should strike while the iron is hot. Otherwise, without a core, the solidified magic will gradually dissipate, and all the hard work that cost us forty-five magic stones will be for nothing.

If we were to describe the meditation method of a novice wizard apprentice, it would be to construct three core elements.

The key to becoming an intermediate wizard apprentice lies in using the structure of magic to repair and adjust these core elements.

Generally speaking, most intermediate wizarding apprentices add gathering-type tricks to their meditation core.

For example, the core fire element – ​​Spark.

The core of the water system – water intake techniques.

Earth-based core skill - Trip-in.

These tricks enhance the core by converging magical energy and improve the ability to manipulate these elements.
