The Miracle Lord, the God Of War - Chapter 16

The other members of the team were exhausted, so they had no choice but to rest there for the time being.

Of course, another key factor in this was that everyone’s attributes had become weaker due to the interference of the dark energy. If the team had had a priest or someone with a similar profession, then that problem could be easily solved. However, it was a pity that when Drouin went to visit some priests, no one was willing to come after they heard that they would be heading to the Starfall Forest. Even when they had offered a higher salary, the priests had still refused.

However, Sean came prepared. He had expected the situation to occur a long time ago. Therefore, he had prepared something in the bag he had brought along with him in case of an emergency.

The cup of sweet-smelling water that was being shared among the people right now was exactly what Sean had prepared.

“Is this the Magic Awakening Spring?” Drouin had been born in a kingdom of magic, so he knew about almost everything related to it. There was just a slight difference in the details. “Where did you get this from?”

A look of eagerness could be seen flowing out from him.

The Magic Awakening Spring was a very precious magic potion. It was able to quickly restore the magic of all spellcasters. It could also maintain the stability of their spirit. After all, all spellcasters consumed a lot of magic and energy after casting a spell, and they would inevitably become tired. Their ability to cast spells would decline slightly as well. However, after taking the Magic Awakening Spring, not only could their magical powers be quickly restored, their mental state would be restored as well. A stable state of concentration could also be maintained without having any negative effects.

Therefore, the Magic Awakening Spring was extremely rare and precious. Even the Portoroa Kingdom, which was famous for its knowledge about magic, could not guarantee that a spellcaster would be able to purchase the Magic Awakening Spring whenever they wanted. Occasionally, a bottle could appear on the market; however, it would be snatched away instantly by someone who would offer a sky-high price in exchange for it.

Naturally, Sean knew how valuable the Magic Awakening Spring was. It was just a pity that his secondary class was not an alchemist. “One does become a lot more awake after drinking the Magic Awakening Spring; however, it will not be able to restore any magical powers. It will indeed be able to help maintain your mental stability, though. The amount in this small cup is enough to maintain your state for a day. After drinking it, you will be able to sleep with ease, and you won’t need to worry about not being able to wake up after you fall asleep.”

Hearing Sean’s words, everyone started to drink the small cup of clear liquid.

The effect was almost immediate. In an instant, everyone’s spirits were a lot better. Even their eyes had become a little bit different as they looked at Sean. Among them, Drouin’s and Halle’s eyes were the most eager. In reality, they all wanted to know why after Sean had gone out and circled them once, he was able to come back with that potion on him. After all, the potion was a genuine alchemy product. Even if someone had alchemy skills, it would still be impossible for them to make it if they did not possess the corresponding equipment.

Halle thought about it on a deeper level. If spellcasters were to take the potion before heading into a battle, then it could be possible to increase their speed at casting spells, as well as their accuracy. Because of that, the value of such a potion would naturally be very high. Also, spellcasters had never been the type of people to be short of money. If Sean was able to continue supplying the potion in stable amounts, then his position in the merchant house was bound to be more secure.

When Halle told Sean about such thoughts, Sean immediately came to his senses.

Back when he was inside the game, the potion had instantly become one of the regular potions that almost all players would prepare after a player with alchemy as a secondary profession unintentionally invented the potion. This was because the biggest difference between players and NPCs was their spirit for adventure. However, back in the game, there were many places like the Land of Black Earth, which were able to interfere or even erode the spirit and will of players. Also, not every single place could be purified by the divine skills of a cleric. Therefore, that type of potion was very popular in the market. Almost everyone knew how to make it.

However, the world he was in now was not inside the game, but rather the real world!

In this world, other than Sean, there wasn’t another person who knew how to mix the potion. It could be said that Sean had complete control of the right to create the potion! And the most important point was that no alchemy tools were required at all to mix the potion. Any relevant knowledge was not even required. All it required was melting the Dead Black Liquid Flower in a high-purity neutralizing elixir and then shaking it well. That was all. It was really pretty simple.

Also, the two materials were relatively easy to obtain. The Dead Black Liquid Flower could only be collected in places where a large number of dead forces and black energies congregated, but the high-purity neutralizing elixir could be easily obtained at a normal potion store. It only cost one silver coin per bottle. Therefore, this kind of alchemy potion, which could keep a person awake and focused, and even stop the dark energy from corrupting their spirit, could be prepared in large amounts by Sean as long as he wanted to.

Sean had a couple of reasons for coming to the Starfall Forest. Apart from looking for a large number of experience points, Sean had also come to collect materials.

Apart from the few accidents with the Wind Striped Black Wolves before, all the other developments during the journey had been pretty similar to what Sean had expected would happen. Therefore, while he was talking to Halle, he instantly became interested. After all, no one would refuse to gain another method to make money, particularly in the case of a bottle of the alchemy elixir, which could easily be split into five bottles to sell. As a profiteer, Halle naturally would not price things too low. Therefore, Sean and Halle reached an agreement very quickly.

However, Seam only gave Halle two bottles for the time being, as a large amount of the alchemy potion would still be needed for this trip. If they were separated carefully, those two bottles could be divided and sold as 10 bottles. Since there were very few bottles for the first load, Halle had no intention of directly giving them a marked price and selling them. He was going to go negotiate with the merchant house after the journey first to see if it could be auctioned at the Arctic Silver’s annual auction. The selling price could be even higher there.

While Halle was settling things with Sean, Drouin had finished arranging the personnel who would stay and guard. Just like before, people would take turns throughout the night to guard. Each shift would have three people. That was the strategy to avoid being attacked by the undead spirits in the Land of Black Earth. The first shift was given to Halle, Sean, and a guard. Drouin, the archer, and another guard would be in charge of the second shift, while Drouin, Cecilia, and the last guard would be responsible for the final shift.

There was nothing else Sean wanted to talk about with Halle at the moment, so he walked over to the guard.

Seeing Sean walking over, the guard nodded at him and smiled politely. In the past few days, Sean had proven his strength and value with his actions. He might not have been the strongest of the members of the group, but without his leadership, they may not have been able to survive as long as they did. To people like the guard and Old Pete, who were very dangerous and cruel, Sean was the one who felt deserved respect.

“I heard that before you became a guard, you were once a very strong warrior,” Sean cut straight to the point and asked as soon as he sat down.

If an individual wanted to become a warrior, the best way to do that was to go to the House of Brothers and start the profession there. That was where all the mercenaries across the Miracle Continent gathered. Pretty much all people who chose the rank-one mercenary as their career would find a sense of identity there. The only exception was the players. But at the moment, they were in the Starfall Forest. There were no branches of the House of Brothers there. If Sean did not start a new profession there, then he would not be able to gain any experience. That was the reason why Sean had walked up to the guard to ask questions.

He was gaining a new profession through other people who once had [Warrior] as their profession. It was a method of taking up a new profession in the original game “Miracle.” However, because of these people’s past experiences, they would usually end up talking about some of the things they had learned, so taking up a new profession would only be a little bit more difficult than doing it through normal methods.

For example, reaching level 10 for the profession [Mercenary] was enough to start learning [Warrior] as a new profession at the House of Brothers. However, if the conditions for learning a new profession were triggered through the dictation of the guards, then it was very likely that the personal attributes just had to also reach a certain standard.

Sean’s personal attributes were almost at the limit of his growth right now. Therefore, he did not care about that. The only thing he needed to care about was whether or not the guard had advanced through the [Warrior] class at the beginning.

“Warrior…” Hearing what Sean had said, even though the guard did not know why Sean had said it to him, it made him remember things from the past. “That was a long time ago. I was just as young as you at that time…”

Listening to the guard narrate his past with a nostalgic and emotional expression, Sean raised the corners of his mouth gently. His heart was more excited than the time when he had received [Narrow Escape]. He knew that he had made the correct bet. It would not be long before he became a [Warrior] at rank two. Everything that had developed so far was the same as what he had thought it would be.

[A check showed that you have triggered learning the new profession ‘Warrior’. The requirements for this new profession were met. Would you like to learn this new profession?]

Almost as soon as the guard had spoken, an emotionless electronic sound suddenly appeared in Sean’s mind. If not for the fact that his existence there had already gone against common sense, then he might have been frightened by the sound. However, when he was in the game “Miracle,” he had heard the electronic sound a lot. Suddenly coming to this world and losing all the things that belonged in the original world had made Sean feel a little bit lonely, and he was unaccustomed to the feeling of the world without the gaming aspect. When Sean heard the electronic sound, Sean’s heart fluctuated and became emotional.

However, there was no need to even think about the question asked by this electronic sound.

Sean silently said to himself, “Yes.”

[A check showed that ‘Warrior’ is an advanced ‘Mercenary’ profession. The new profession will overwrite this profession. Afterward, the level of the new profession will be one. Would you like to overwrite ‘Mercenary’?]

Yes.

As soon as Sean finished speaking, the blood in his body surged as if it was vibrating. It was just like ripples created from a drop of water that had fallen into a lake. It was just that the ripples were Sean’s blood. The surge of a large amount of blood made Sean’s heart beat more violently. It was as if endless power was emerging nonstop from his body. His entire person suddenly became more spirited. This was even better than the results from drinking that special potion!

However, the feeling came and left very quickly. It took almost just a blink of an eye to be completed. The feeling of the blood and the power surge had completely disappeared. Only his mind, which was still highly spirited, was telling him that what had just happened was not an illusion or hallucination.

At that moment!

He had finally become a [Warrior]!
