Scenes flashed quickly through his mind, and Herag felt his blood surging.
He closed his eyes and re-entered a state of meditation, while gradually stabilizing his emotions.
About ten minutes later, Herag was completely calm again.
"Compared to many magic potions, such side effects are nothing at all; it just takes a bit more time to meditate."
Overall, Herag was quite satisfied with the effects of the Starry Sky Potion.
Meditation in itself has the effect of calming oneself and stabilizing emotions. By spending more time meditating, he could suppress the unrest in his heart.
Of course, there were other solutions too.
But since Herag needed to meditate every day, it wasn’t feasible to solve problems that way each time.
It was too time-consuming, and he didn’t want to waste two or three hours a day on such things.
Herag also wanted to be quicker, but unfortunately, his ability didn’t allow it.
Meditation was still more time-efficient, as ten minutes could stabilize his emotions.
There were still 9 milliliters left of the Starry Sky Potion in the test tube; one batch could produce 10 milliliters, enough for ten days’ use.
After the successful experiment in enhancing the speed of meditation with the Starry Sky Potion, Herag tidied up the lab, restoring it to its clean, orderly state.
After leaving the lab, he went downstairs and locked the door, then prepared to return to the building where he lived. This content belongs to novelFirｅ.net
At this moment, Ed and Judy entered with laughter, standing very close.
When these two saw Herag, they appeared somewhat panicked and quickly moved apart.
Herag smiled and suddenly remembered when he saw the slave mark on Ed’s face: "Ed, come over here."
Judy looked at Ed worriedly, while Ed followed nervously.
Herag patted his shoulder: "Don’t overthink it. If you like Judy, then pursue her boldly. As long as you handle things well, I won’t interfere."
"N-no, sir." Ed felt a bit embarrassed when Herag directly pointed it out.
Upon hearing Herag’s words, the fear he felt was immediately relieved.
In many households, the owners forbid their servants from dating. If discovered, the owners could beat them to death without anyone saying a word.
Clearly, Herag wouldn’t do that. Besides, Herag wouldn’t stay here long, and Ed would eventually need to have his own life.
"I called you over primarily to deal with the slave mark on your face." Herag observed the large mark on Ed’s face and pondered.
"Can it really be dealt with?" Ed was a bit excited.
During the time he was newly branded with the slave mark, Ed felt like dying, never daring to lift his head to talk to others.
Now, though he seemed accustomed to others pointing at his slave mark, he didn’t show much sensitivity, but deep down, it still mattered a lot to him.
It’s common knowledge that slave marks are hard to remove.
This mark was made with a special potion that penetrated the flesh, making it difficult to eradicate.
Ed had even tried scraping the flesh on his face with a knife, leaving him bloodied and eventually giving up.
He had lost hope, but Herag’s words rekindled it.
In his eyes, Herag was synonymous with mystery and power.
Since Herag was willing to take a look, there was hope of removing the slave mark.
"Shenlan, examine this slave mark and provide a removal method that won’t cause much harm to the body." Herag issued an order.
"Detected the mark was made with a solution of Cabbage Grass. The following potion formula will remove the mark: 10 grams of Rootless Vine, 40 grams of Pig’s Belly Grass, 80 grams of Yangju Stone..."
Herag looked at the formula, noting they were all basic herbs, not even one magic potion material.
Since he didn’t have many of these items, he wrote a list for Ed to buy.
Upon learning these items were to remove his slave mark, Ed felt immense gratitude towards Herag and ran off quickly.
In less than half an hour, Ed returned with the items.
With the herbs in hand, Herag began the concoction directly.
This process was much simpler than magic potion refining; it required neither magic power input nor constant attention.
The tolerance for error in magic potion refining was low; one wrong move and the effort was wasted. Besides wasting valuable magic potion materials, one would have to start over, sometimes encountering danger.
An hour later, Herag held a large beaker containing a pale yellow solution.
He called Ed over and used a brush to apply the solution to his face.
"Do this every day, once a day, understand? In about half a month, the mark will disappear completely." After finishing, Herag poured the remaining solution into a glass bottle and handed it to Ed.
After application, this solution would penetrate Ed’s flesh, reacting with the components of the mark and dissolving them.
Once dissolved, the pigments would gradually vanish, and the mark would fade away.
This process required time, at least half a month.
Ed held the glass bottle in both hands as if it were a treasure, kneeling on the spot and kowtowing to Herag.
Herag waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, go back."
He couldn’t stand a grown man whining in front of him and gave Ed a kick.
Ed didn’t feel upset even after the kick. Instead, he laughed happily.
Back in his room, Herag first checked every corner, finding nothing unusual.
"Shenlan, constantly monitor the surroundings. If anyone or any animal approaches, alert me immediately."
"Task is now being executed."
Herag took a deep breath and took out the stone slab inscribed with ancient magic from the space ring.
He just glanced at it and quickly looked away. The content on the stone slab hadn’t changed.
"Shenlan, can you interpret the content on the stone slab?" Herag asked.
"Shenlan, what does the slab roughly contain?" Herag, while suspecting it was a Level 1 Spell, was still uncertain.
"Based on currently known information, the stone slab contains a spell model equivalent to a Level 1 Spell." Shenlan responded.
"As expected." Herag continued, "Shenlan, if using 30% of magic power daily, how many days until the stone slab’s contents can be fully interpreted?"
Ten minutes later, Shenlan replied, "Based on calculations, it’s estimated that interpretation will take 187 days."
"Over half a year, quite some time, but it doesn’t really affect me for now. Even if it’s interpreted, I would need at least the spiritual power of a Third Class Wizard Apprentice to possibly read the contents."
