Chapter 1142: Swallowing the Magic Potion

"Huh?" Bancro asked puzzledly, "A round thing?"

"That's right. It's in my right pocket."

Bancro followed Jacob's instructions and touched Jacob's right pocket.

Sure enough, as Jacob said, there was a round object in his right pocket.

After taking out the round object, Bancro raised his eyebrows.

——This thing... looks so familiar...

Bancro said this to himself while trying to remember whether he had seen this round object tightly wrapped in cloth somewhere before.

Fragments of memories flashed through Bancro's mind.

Soon, Bancro recalled where he had seen this round object.

——I remembered...

——Before, Jacob showed me what was inside this round thing wrapped in cloth...

——I remember...it was something with a strong medicinal smell...

"Bancro." Seeing Bancro take the object out of his pocket, Jacob continued, "Can you untie the cloth and hand over the contents to me?"

…

…

"What the hell is this..."

Bancro frowned and stared at the round, small black ball in the palm of his hand.

The strong medicinal smell emitted by this black sphere made Bancro, who was not used to the smell, unable to help but hold his breath.

"Haha..." Jacob chuckled a few times while taking the unknown object from Bancro's hand, "With such a strong medicinal smell, it shouldn't be difficult to guess what it is, right?"

"...Jacob. What does this medicine cure?"

"...This medicine does not cure the disease."

"Huh? If it doesn't cure the disease? What kind of medicine is this?"

"Yes,

That's why I told you before - strictly speaking, this thing is not considered medicine. "

Jacob carefully rubbed the black pill in his palm.

Looking at the pill in his palm, memories involuntarily emerged in Jacob's mind...

"...This medicine was given to me by a girl with light blond hair and light blue eyes when I was still very young." Jacob murmured in a tone that seemed to be talking to himself. .

"Girl?" Bancro asked in confusion.

"Yes, a strange girl. But that girl is not an ordinary person."

"She showed me magic that should have been lost long ago."

"...Jacob, are you delirious from overwork?"

"I'm not kidding, Bancro. Magic has been lost for a long time - this matter is just spread by word of mouth, and due to its wide spread, people gradually have the illusion that this is the truth."

"Who can guarantee that all magic has really been lost? Has anyone investigated everyone in the world one by one to see if they can still use magic?"

"That weird girl gave me this magic potion as a gift after she showed me magic and proved that she indeed knew magic."

"After giving me the potion, the girl yelled, 'I want to continue studying ancient dragons,' and left. Since then, I have never seen this girl again."

"Potion?!" Bancroo exclaimed.

Although Bancro was not interested in things like magic, he had read several books introducing magic.

One of these books that introduces magic introduces magic potion - a special medicine that contains magical power and can only be refined by those who are familiar with the relevant magic.

"According to that person, the effect of this magic potion is to return a person's body functions to the peak of their life."

"Haha..." Jacob smiled bitterly again, "This potion is really suitable for me now..."

After saying that, Jacob picked up the magic potion in his palm and moved it towards his mouth.

"etc!"

Just when the magic potion was only two fingers away from Jacob's mouth, Bancroo hurriedly dissuaded Jacob and continued:

"Returning people's body functions to their peak? Let's not talk about whether this medicine has such an ability! Even if it does have such an ability, there should be some price, right?!"

Thanks to the book that introduced some details about potions, Bancro had a certain basic understanding of potions.

As far as he knew - potions with magical effects generally had side effects, big and small.

The more powerful the drug, the greater the side effects.

If the magic potion in Jacob's hand really has the ability to return people's body functions to their peak, as he just said, one can imagine the side effects of such an exaggerated potion.

After hearing Bancro's question, Jacob was stunned for a moment.

After showing a calm smile to Bancro——

"Hmm." Jacob threw the pill into his mouth as quickly as possible.

After chewing twice casually, he swallowed the chewed potion.

"Hey! Jacob!"

Jacob's move made Bancroe furious.

"What are you doing? Are you taking this kind of thing?! Tell me! What are the side effects of this potion?!"

"…Bancro."

Jacob still did not answer Bancro's question, but said in a calm tone.

"Do you still remember Gozevin's legacy?"

Bancro looked puzzled, wondering why Jacob suddenly mentioned this.

Although he was confused about this, Bancro nodded slightly.

"……of course I remember."

"That guy Gozevin has experienced the darkest period of the Britannia Empire."

"So after he ascended the throne, despite his mediocre qualifications, he has been working hard to revitalize the Britannia Empire."

"Aside from being sincere and daring to delegate power to his subordinates, Ge Zewen has no other abilities."

"But it is precisely because he is sincere in his treatment of others that I like him so much, respect him so much, and am willing to follow him."

"You must be like me, Bancro, right? You were moved by Gozevin's sincerity in treating others, so you have been following Gozevin to the death."

"Now Gozevin is gone. But his ambition to continue to be prosperous and powerful in the Britannia Empire is still there."

"I will carry out Gozevin's ambition until the last moment."

"This country...is everything to me..."

At this point, Jacob's face suddenly started to turn red, and his face... no, it should be said that a lot of sweat started to break out on his body.

From Jacob's expression at this time, it is not difficult to see that he is in considerable pain now.

But even in such pain, Jacob still gritted his teeth and squeezed out words full of determination from between his teeth.

"For this country...I am willing to do whatever it takes..."

After saying that, Jacob lay prone on the door panel beneath him, his facial features tightly knitted together in pain.

"Jacob! Jacob!"

Bancro knelt down beside Jacob with an anxious face, wanting to do something for Jacob, but he really didn’t know what else he could do under such circumstances, so he could only kneel down beside Jacob. Beside him, he was at a loss, letting anxious sweat cover his entire face.
