Wizard: I crush legends with martial arts.

Chapter 91 Medio's Magic

That morning, after Alphonse finished practicing the Yi Jin Jing and Du Jing with Mia and Tessie, he sent them back to their respective training grounds.

Mia had hope of becoming stronger and was unwilling to waste a single moment.

Although she had only been cultivating for a few days, she could clearly feel the changes in her true energy.

The noticeable effects can be incredibly motivating.

Just like in a game, you can see an experience bar.

Taixi, on the other hand, became addicted to practicing the Blood Demon Art. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't spend some time cultivating it every day.

His activity range was limited to the area around Coldwind Territory; there weren't many places he could go.

Besides cooking, cultivation was the only thing that truly interested him.

Alphonse wasn't idle either; he dragged Midio over.

The little guy's injuries have improved a lot. Although he is not completely healed, he is now able to move around freely and run around.

He had an exceptionally sweet tongue and was very polite to everyone, especially Mrs. Mary.

Out of sympathy, Mrs. Mary took extra care of him, and he was exceptionally affectionate towards Mrs. Mary, calling her "Auntie" repeatedly, which made Mrs. Mary treat him as if he were her own nephew.

Alphonse brought him here, certainly not out of jealousy.

It's actually quite nice to have someone keep your mother company.

Although he acknowledged her as his mother, Alphonse couldn't bring himself to be too affectionate with Lady Mary.

However, Midio had promised to serve me, and as the only magician in the lord's manor, I should naturally be put to use.

We should at least see what effects his magic can produce and how powerful it is.

Alphonse led Midio to the vegetable garden in the courtyard and pointed to the lettuce seedlings on the garden.

"You should be able to cast spells now, right? Try using your plant growth spell on this seedling."

If it can lead to a significant increase in vegetable and grain production, that would be a good thing.

Midio obediently raised his wand, pointed it at the seedling, and began to chant a spell as his lips moved.

In an instant, the seedling shimmered with a faint green light, and its leaves visibly began to grow larger.

In the blink of an eye, new buds sprouted, and the leaves gradually became lush and their color became even more emerald green.

But it had only grown a little, and had not yet reached full maturity, before the magic power was gone.

"That's it?" Alphonse asked in astonishment.

"That's how first-tier magic works," Midio laughed awkwardly. "I'll be good to go after one more try."

"No need." Alphonse shook his head, sighing inwardly, "Can't you use plant growth magic on a large scale?"

"How could I possibly do that? I can only use first-tier magic. Big brother, please don't make things difficult for me," Midio said helplessly, spreading his hands.

Then it's useless.

Alphonse was also thinking that if his plant growth magic was to be effective enough, he might try grafting fruit to accelerate the growth of wheat.

"Show us your other magic."

Having promised Alphonse that he would serve him, Midio had no choice but to demonstrate each spell, casting fireballs, fire rings, wind blades, whirlwinds, and other magics.

During this time, he also meditated several times to restore his magic power.

His magic power is really not that strong.

But Alphonse discovered something: the magic that Midio could cast wasn't very powerful, but his control over it was quite strong. He could basically hit exactly where he wanted to hit and control the magic within a designated area.

However, the distance cannot be too far.

It seems that the most useful thing is freezing water into ice, which can be used to make cold drinks and ice cream.

However, with winter approaching, it's not the season for ice cream.

This isn't modern Northeast China, where every household has central heating. In that place, eating ice cream in winter is a luxury.

This is not the case here.

After thinking it over carefully, an idea suddenly popped into Alphonse's mind.

"Could you use your shaping magic to create a tin kettle?"

"A tin kettle?" Midio's little face was full of doubt.

Alphonse had just seen Midio use magic to change the branches of trees, twisting them in another direction, but not by much.

According to him, it also works on various inanimate objects.

He gestured with his hand, giving a general description: "It needs a lid that can be closed tightly, and it also needs a long spout."

Midio shook his head violently. "I can't do it. My shaping magic is only at the first level."

"Then we'll have to let the blacksmith try to forge it." Alphonse's castle has vases made of gold and silver, decorated with exquisite patterns and other decorative elements.

The technology of this era may be able to meet the requirements.

"Big brother, what do you want to do?" Midio asked curiously.

I can't tell you right now.

Alphonse kept everyone in suspense.

Actually, what I wanted to make was white sugar.

Having traveled through time, I should try something new and interesting.

Maple syrup always has a woody taste, honey is too strong, and the sugar cubes contain impurities and have a slightly burnt smell.

White sugar with a refreshing taste and a better appearance is a different story.

It's not about the money; Coldwind Territory is already flush with cash.

Suddenly, an idea struck me: Midio's whirlwind technique could be put to use.

Although Mia is also a wind-type, the wind she creates is too violent. While it is powerful and destructive, she cannot achieve precise control over it.

Midio's magic is different; he can control his whirlwind spell within a narrow space.

Alphonse still vaguely remembered the sugar-making process.

It was also because of that yellow mud water sugar rinsing method that I found more related content on Bilibili.

Of course, the method of pouring sugar with yellow mud water always failed. The only successful one was that after pouring the yellow mud water, the scene changed and there was some white sugar on it.

The comments section was full of complaints, clearly just something thrown on there.

There are quite a few sugar-making methods found through searches, and in today's information-saturated society, these are not secrets.

There are all sorts of traditional methods for making white sugar, such as extracting white sugar from white sugarcane roots, and hardcore methods for making white sugar from sugarcane, etc.

Sugar is not cheap in this other world; even sugar blocks containing impurities cost 8 gold coins per pound.

It is said that some nobles even made wills specifying that sugar cubes and honey should be buried with them.

If we could produce white sugar, it would definitely become a luxury item.

In the future, when I go on a trip, I might visit the Duke of Wensalf, and then I can use white sugar as a gift.

To extract white sugar, you first need activated carbon for filtration and decolorization.

On Bilibili, there are folk methods for making activated carbon.

Alphonse couldn't invent anything new; he could only copy the methods he had seen in videos.

This tin kettle is designed so that all the steam can be blown onto the charcoal, turning it into activated charcoal.

At least, the uploader actually succeeded in testing this method.
