Water Mage in the Flame Realm

Chapter 164: A Smiling Mask and Two Products


Through the "Heart Net," the other party seemed to reply to Jimmy with one sentence.

Jimmy hummed in response, and suddenly a hint of malice flickered in his eyes as he said, "If you really don't want that kid to reach Warmfire City smoothly tomorrow, actually I can—"

The other party replied with something again.

Jimmy nodded, restraining the malice in his eyes, and said, "Alright, as you wish."

The other party stopped responding.

Jimmy meticulously sent out the intelligence related to Andrew.

However, even Jimmy didn't know that: right now, information regarding Andrew was not being disseminated by him alone.

Elsewhere, in the Warm Fire Temple, Linda was also carefully reporting to her teacher, who was the leader of the Warm Fire Temple.

Not only in the "Shield of Flowing Fire" within the city, but outside, there was also a tall figure quietly sitting on a stone pillar in the wilderness, listening intently to something, then nodding and saying, "Alright, I understand. So, the person has already reached the city, right? That's enough."

Unlike Jimmy and Linda, this figure, though exuding a flame aura, didn't have the generally warm and gentle feeling of a Warm Fire Professional. Instead, it was filled with a kind of wild and untamed intensity that seemed like it could scorch the entire surrounding space.

This person wore a dark red, nearly black, Combat Class attire, with a mask on their face.

The mask, with just a few strokes, portrayed a face with a gentle smile.

As a Flame Warrior, this person gave a more oppressive feeling than the mountain sea sensation Andrew had encountered before, with a thick and rough aura that seemed to press down on one's breath.

But unlike typical Flame Warriors, this person faintly exuded an agility and warmth that Flame Warriors shouldn't possess.

"What? Anything else you need to do? Not for now." This person communicated with some intelligence source through a communication device, "If you must ask, don't contact me again for a while. Didn't you say last time that you seemed to be suspected and watched? Then don't do anything further to arouse suspicion for the time being. Okay, that's it."

After severing the connection, the person stood up, and then leapt down from the fifty-meter-tall stone pillar.

But her landing was strange, her knees didn't bend to absorb the force of impact; instead, like a chisel, her whole body plunged into the ground.

With a bang, the point of landing directly caved in into a large pit.

Along with this, the stone pillar lost its balance and collapsed with a loud crash.

In the cloud of dust, the masked person dragged a long weapon that looked like an axe spear, leaving deep footprints with each step as she walked forward.

The place where the ground met the starlit sky ahead was exactly where Andrew was at the moment, in the "Shield of Flowing Fire".

...

...

It was already the latter half of the night by this time.

In the city.

In a clean and spacious room on the second floor of the mansion.

"Hmm?" Andrew suddenly felt a palpitation, a sense of unease washed over him.

Instinctively, he expanded his "Water Spirit Sensing," but felt no source of danger causing him unease, except for the persistently haunting female observer.

"What's going on? Am I just too tired and should get some rest?" Andrew frowned.

Not sleeping in the room, Ivan was also awake just outside.

At this moment, in front of Andrew were two items he had just crafted using the "Enchanting Finger".

The Enchanting Finger, originally derived from the Enchanting Dance Andrew performed against Rose while facing the Desolate Beast horde.

Essentially, it's about sharing the efficacy of his Water Magic with other people or objects.

The "Enchanting Finger" is not traditional Water Magic but a type of Lord Magic that Andrew, following the path of Water Magic Lord, currently concentrates on.

By utilizing the "Enchanting Finger," Andrew can easily share vast and diverse water magical effects by infusing them into an item.

This principle is somewhat similar to the Flame Realm's existing magic artifact crafting.

However, in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, the amount of magic that can be added, production speed, and difficulty level, it's on a completely different scale.

Andrew is well aware: His "Enchanting Finger" is far superior to this Flame Realm's magic artifact crafting technique!

"Probably indeed too tired."

Andrew paused for a moment, no longer feeling that anxious restlessness, and decided to disregard it for now.

He lowered his head, focusing on one of the two products he had just made—

It was a milky white pill about the size of a thumb.

The raw materials weren't complex or precious, just some nourishing and blood-stopping medicinal substances native to the Flame Realm, mixed with the flesh of the "Deep Sea Giant Cactus" unique to the Inner Sea Desert.

The Deep Sea Giant Cactus, originally a product of the Inner Sea Desert, can't be taken out of the desert; once removed, it quickly loses its magical effectiveness for alleviating lung burn symptoms.

"Fortunately, with me, the Water Magic Lord, personally carrying it, the flesh of this Deep Sea Giant Cactus can be taken out of the desert."

Andrew smiled faintly, "Although the efficacy will still be somewhat weakened, it won't be reduced too much. Especially after my 'enchantment,' the efficacy of the giant cactus is firmly locked inside this pill, and the dissipation rate can be completely ignored."

In short, the ingredients of this pill are not complicated.

The key point one is the addition of the "Deep Sea Giant Cactus" as an auxiliary material.

The key point two is the various water magic, including "Water Soul Constitution," "Flowing Water Spirit," and "Water Spirit Technique," which Andrew has just infused with his magic power and energy.

The purpose of all enchantments is just one.

That is to replenish physical ability.

On the way back from the Warm Fire Temple to the residence, Andrew told Linda he wanted to make a potion to help the wounded replenish their strength.

Now a sample has already been made!

Not only does it replenish the physical ability of the wounded, but it is also effective for ordinary people and professionals.

Moreover, under Andrew's special design, for injured personnel, the pill's effectiveness in replenishing physical ability can be tripled!

Andrew even added a small trap in it, making it effective only for Warm Fire Professionals. For the Earth Fire Professionals of the Magic Guild, instead of having a positive effect, it releases a stench like feces upon entry to prevent them from seizing the pill for use.

"Phew."

Andrew let out a soft breath, feeling quite satisfied with this product, "The issue of poor physical ability common among people observed in this Flame Realm on the way here, and the problem of many wounded needing treatment from the recent Twin Fire Battle, will be addressed with this pill!"

Originally, Andrew planned to spend the entire second half of the night making this pill, and by dawn, make a sample of another product before heading to Warm Fire City.

Unexpectedly, the production process was smoother than anticipated.

"I feel like my 'Enchanting Finger' is a top-notch tool in product manufacturing!" Andrew thought with delight.

After leaving the Wildfire Territory, he hadn't used the 'Enchanting Finger' much.

Now, through practice, it's more evident: the efficacy of the Lord Magic I'm focusing on seems to be beyond what I initially expected.

"Hmm, what name should I give it?"

Andrew looked at the pill.

Originally, he thought to name it "Water Soul Pill" because the most important water magic in this pill is actually the Water Soul Constitution, sharing his physical characteristics with others. The healing magic in the "Water Priestess Series" is secondary.

But this would expose his identity, so it won't do.

Maybe "Soldier Pill" could work? After all, its ability to replenish the wounded can be tripled.

But then again, it seems a bit biased, as this pill is also effective for the broader general populace.

Andrew didn't want people hearing the name of the pill to immediately associate it with warfare.

Thinking further, the pill actually has the effect of nourishing yin and boosting yang. After hearing so many complaints from the women of the Flame Realm about their men's lack of stamina, one might even be tempted to call it the Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill... well, ahem.

Ultimately, Andrew felt that none of the three names were good enough, and when no satisfactory conclusion came to mind, he decided not to rush to make a quick decision.

Gently placing the pill into a small box — there were two more inside, three in total — Andrew arranged the three pills properly, sealed the box with its lid, then stored it within the "Gate of Enlightenment" in his dantian.

Then he turned his gaze to another product he had just created.

Warm Fire Temple's needs for the wounded are, of course, needs.

But the numerous non-war-time, more general market demands noted down in transit, especially those of ordinary people, are also very important needs.

This second product is aimed at these.

Andrew clearly remembered that on the way here, the second most frequent thing he heard was women's complaints about men's stamina.

The most frequent thing, however, was about the real problems people had: women and men both, concerning dry skin, chapped lips, itchy skin, dry eyes...

These certainly are not the most significant problems in the Flame Realm, but the truly major issues—like the frequent outbreak of fires—require significant power to drive solutions, not suitable topics for initial trade discussions.

So Andrew intentionally targeted a small yet common problem for a specific attempt to resolve.

Thus came this second product in front of him.

Like the pill, this product is also milky white.

However, its form is a thin mask.

The mask has four holes for ventilation, corresponding to the eyes, nose, and mouth.

The entire mask is very moist, just by looking at it, it gives a warm and slightly cool feeling!

Seeing this product sample, Andrew couldn't help but smile, thinking even if he traveled back to the modern world, this product would definitely be the top-selling hit.

This is a facial mask.

A mask infused with a large amount of water magic, with magic power even flowing inside the product... a magic facial mask.
