Chapter 379: Influence II
Seeing Rod on the field, the man seemed to realize something, put away the vouchers he had obtained, came to the position where he was before he played, and began to observe Rode's every move.
Although the process of refining potions by the man shocked a considerable number of mages, there were also some mages who were originally observing it, who seemed to have been stimulated by the man and began to refine potions.
Although the refining methods of these mages are not as superb as those of men, and they can directly eliminate the step of crude refining and directly create refined potions, they are also much better than the mages who came first.
Due to the man's series of steps, an invisible pressure was exerted on the other mages participating in the potions competition, and in the refining of potions, these mages in the field also began to standardize the refining of potions, and did not simply make crude things, but refined the crude potions, and then handed them in.
However, although these mages who came to the scene after they worked extremely hard to refine potions, they still did not show any bright spots, on the contrary, their actions only highlighted the superb skills of the man before in refining potions.
Although the man had already finished refining, it was clear that the influence he had caused had not disappeared.
If none of the last mages to come on the field could outperform the man in refining methods, then his influence in the Potions Contest would continue and spread throughout his journey in the Potions Competition.
This is what the Spirit Club wants to see. In this way, the Necromancer's influence is subtly increased, and whenever the Mage discusses what happened in the Potions Competition, he is helping the Necromancer expand his influence.
Of course, so far, the mages don't know that the man's true identity is a necromancer, but they just think of him as a mage who is extremely good at potions, which is the benefit of concealing his identity.
The first hand to play, in addition to exposing part of his strength in advance, can achieve a large part of the advantage, with this man as a precedent, even if someone uses this method to refine potions later, the effect is extremely average.
Among the mages watching the game around, those who don't understand potion refining actually account for the majority.
As Bracada chose to develop Potions, in the eyes of ordinary mages, Potions is an extremely mysterious discipline if one does not have a certain understanding of Potions knowledge.
Most of the mages who came here guessed the direction of Bracada's next research on the discipline, and knew that Potions would develop vigorously after the academy event, so they wanted to have some understanding of Potions by watching the game.
In this case, most of the mages watching the tournament noticed the man's operation.
For the mages watching the game, they may not know the knowledge of potion recipes, or even how to refine them, how to make a potion that works well, but from this man's body, they can see the use of magic in potions.
In the process of refining potions, the fire thaumaturgy used to control the flames and the water thaumaturgy to control the juice can be said to be very familiar to the surrounding mages, even if they are mage apprentices, they can master these two spells.
From this man, the surrounding mages saw how to intersperse the use of these basic spells in the process of refining potions.
In fact, for the refining of any potion, these most basic spells need to be used, but in the process of refining by other mages, this point cannot be well reflected, except for the vaguely felt magic fluctuations, the mages watching the game around really can't see where these basic spells are used.
In the process of refining potions, the man has an intuitive display of the use of spells, even if he has only learned magic and knows nothing about potions, he can feel this.
After that, even if any mage chose the same refining method as the man, the mages watching the game would not pay much attention to it, and the object of their discussion was still the man who first refined the potion.
What is certain is that after this initial test, because the man has seized the opportunity to refine potions, the influence he can cause will continue to spread like this, and no mage can stop this.
There may be mages who can surpass this man in the level of potion refining, and can show a more impressive refining process, refining potions with more powerful effects, but they will not reveal themselves easily.
The current potions competition is only the level of the first test, and in the initial test stage, as long as you can refine the potions of the past, even if it is crude, you can smoothly enter the next round of the competition.
In this case, for those powerful mages, there is no need to expose their strength too much, like this man, it is actually rare to see himself in the process of the first test.
What's more, if you want to refine a potion with a strong effect, you need to consume high-quality raw materials, and even for powerful mages, it will cost a certain price to collect these raw materials. If you can save some raw materials, you won't waste it.
The man chose such a good time, which was destined that his previous efforts would not be in vain and could have a greater impact.
Perhaps the only way to stop this influence from continuing is for a mage to come on the scene as soon as the man finishes refining the potion, using more subtle means than the man to complete the refining of the potion, so that the influence caused by the man will be transferred to the new mage.
At this time, the man was worried about such a problem.
When he noticed that Rod was on the field, the man locked his eyes firmly on Rode.
The demeanor shown by Rod earlier has undoubtedly shown that Rod has enough strength to refine potions.
In this case, because he also belonged to the organization of the Spirit Society, the man was very worried about Rhodes, who did not know the details.
Once Rhodes showed his powerful potion refining skills here, the man's previous actions seemed to be meaningless. A series of influences caused by men before will be passed on to Rod.
Just as the man looked at him with some concern, Rhodes came to the venue and began to refine the potion.
