Magic Potions

Sunny day, feeling a little lonely~

Toys, just leave them aside.

Rienta hummed softly, looking at the sky that had finally cleared up.

Hey~ Speaking of the weather clearing up.

He then remembered two other songs that were somewhat related to the weather.

One is:

'The sky hasn't cleared up in ages~'

'I still remember your smile~'

I cried, but I couldn't bury my guilt.

I forgot the details in the middle, but the climax was:

'How could this be? How could this be?'

You actually forgave me~

'I can only read the dialogue forever~'

'...'

The other one is:

'...'

'The Little Yellow Flower of the Story~'

'I've been floating around since the year I was born~'

'Childhood memories of swinging on a swing~'

'I've been voting for this book ever since I was a child~'

'...'

On this windy day, I tried holding your hand.

But then... the rain gradually got heavier until I couldn't see you anymore.

How much longer until I can be by your side?

'...'

When I have time in the future, I might become a bard... Singer seems like a good option too.

A thought suddenly popped into Rienta's mind.

Like Frieren, he also has a near-infinite lifespan.

In the long journey of life, we always need to find things to do to pass the time.

For Demons, most Demons will spend their entire lives studying a particular type of magic.

Very few will learn other types of magic like Macht and Solitär.

For example, elves.

Rienta has only encountered three spirits so far.

Frieren and Serie are in similar situations.

Both of them were very interested in magic, but the world of magic is as vast as the sea, and some spells can take hundreds of years just to learn the basics.

This is quite a good way to kill time.

Then there's the Monk Kraft.

It's actually quite strange.

Frieren must be over a thousand years old, yet she still looks like a young girl.

Serie has lived from the Mythical Era until now, and he simply can't calculate exactly how old she is.

However, in terms of appearance, Serie and Frieren are actually quite similar, both looking like young girls.

But Kraft must have been at least a young man approaching middle age.

How long has this guy lived...?

Rienta's thoughts drifted away without her realizing it.

Just then, Stark suddenly pointed to the sky and said:

"... Look at the sky, isn't that a dragon?"

Rienta, the other two were all taken aback and looked up at the sky in the direction Stark was pointing.

A dragon with very clear outlines is flying in the sky.

However, none of the three of them detected the dragon's approach using their [Detection Magic].

In other words, either the dragon's Mana Suppression cultivation was completely beyond their comprehension.

Alternatively, the dragon is outside the range of [Detection Magic].

Fern was somewhat shocked. "Lady Frieren, that is..."

Frieren nodded and said, "I understand, it's outside the range of [Detection Magic]."

"That dragon can fly incredibly high."

Upon hearing this, Stark looked thoughtfully at the clearly outlined dragon in the sky.

"So, that dragon was super huge?"

At this time.

Frieren and Fern have already used [Flight Magic] to chase after the dragon.

Rienta grabbed Stark's shoulder and, Telekinesis, carried the two of them into the sky.

"That's rare, Stark, you've been so clever this time."

Stark, somewhat unconvinced, retorted, "Hey, I've always been smart, okay?"

After exchanging a few more playful banter, the two caught up with Frieren and Fern, who had gone ahead.

As time went on...

After flying for a long time, Rienta and the others finally caught up with the enormous dragon.

Looking around, this dragon could practically be described as a mobile floating island.

Its back was covered with all sorts of vegetation.

There's even a lake right in the center.

As usual, Frieren explained to everyone:

"[Sky Vein Dragon]."

"A legendary dragon with a lifespan approaching eternity."

"We're lucky; this guy rarely descends below the limits of [Flight Magic]."

"It has a gentle nature and dislikes fighting, which is very rare among dragons."

"The Sky Vein Dragon spends its entire life in the sky; when it descends to the ground, that is when it dies."

"Having been isolated from the outside world for tens of thousands of years, the plants on the [Sky Vein Dragon's ] back have a completely different ecosystem from those on the ground."

"It's a place every herbalist dreams of."

"Let's find some seeds and fruits to take back with us."

Frieren spoke at length, giving Rienta and the others no chance to interject.

Then, leading everyone, they landed on the back of the [Sky Vein Dragon].

Rienta and the others split up and began collecting tree fruits and seeds.

According to Rienta's understanding of Frieren, generally speaking, if this situation occurs, it must be because this place contains some kind of past memory of Frieren.

And it is highly likely related to Himmel.

[Flight Magic] is a product of the last few decades.

This was not the case when Frieren and Himmel fought the Demon King together.

Based on the above conditions, we can roughly deduce the truth of the matter.

"Sky Vein Dragon."

"I heard its back is as big as an island."

I'd really like to go up there sometime.

Himmel looked up at the extremely rare [Sky Vein Dragon] in the sky and sighed.

Upon hearing Himmel's words, Frieren was browsing through Grimoire, said without hesitation:

"It's just a legend. As long as humans can't fly, there's no way to confirm it."

Himmel turned to look at Frieren and replied with a smile:

"Frieren."

"If it were you, perhaps one day you could actually reach the back of the [Sky Vein Dragon]."

After collecting enough tree fruits and seeds.

Rienta and the others left the [Sky Vein Dragon] and flew towards the village in the Viesen Mountains.

The herbalist's home.

Rienta took out a bamboo basket of tree fruit and a bamboo basket of seeds and placed them on the table.

Of course, he still had quite a bit left in his [Personal Space].

After listening to Frieren's account, the herbalist pondered for a moment and said:

"Thank you very much, adventurers."

"We finally know the truth."

"I will study the medicinal properties of these plants carefully and use them to help more people."

After saying this, the herbalist took out three magic potion recipes that he had prepared beforehand and handed them to everyone.

After a brief farewell.

Rienta and the others also left the village and continued their journey along the Viesen Mountains towards the Imperial Territory.

On the road.

Rienta took out the three magic potion recipes.

He handed one to each of Frieren and Fern.

He opened a recipe himself, but it was only after the name of the recipe came into view that he realized what was happening.

Rienta's gaze sharpened, and she silently placed the formula into her [Personal Space].

[Clothes-Dissolving Potion].

Hmm, this recipe is good.

From a medical perspective, it has great value.

For example, if someone accidentally suffers a serious external injury, this medicine can easily remove clothing, providing better conditions for treatment.

Besides, this medicine can be used in many other situations.

Such a powerful potion! Rienta declared that she absolutely had to learn how to use it!

At this moment, Frieren and Fern also finished looking at the recipe in their hands and returned it to Rienta.

Rienta glanced at the items: [Stamina Recovery Potion], [Blood-Replenishing Potion].

His assessment of this was:

Generally, it's not as good as one [Magic That Heals Everything].
