Alicia held out her tears at the recording of the newly born twins. She cherished every moment of it and tried her best to engrave it into her heart.
"They growing too fast. Before I can get used to them, they grow bigger yet again. I really wished I can remember what they looked like when they are younger…" Alicia inattentively mumbled her thoughts.
When Ebraham heard her inadvertent remark, he finally understood her worries.
Human are forgetful by nature. But unlike a normal person, Ebraham did not possessed an ability to forget things that had been registered in his mind due to the nature of his special ability. This also includes the tragic memories and the emotions concurrent to those memories.
To cope with this problem, Ebraham had taken the concept of memory for granted.
So, such problem as forgetting something had never crossed his mind.
Seeing how unsettled Alicia was when thinking about it, Ebraham knew how valuable memories are to other people. They did not want to put away their happy memories. They did not want to forget the face of their loved ones. They were afraid to forget the valuable lesson life had taught them.
All of these were the desire of a forgetful person.
Ebraham fell into a deep thought while thinking about that topic.
Suddenly, Ebraham said something,
"Say, I haven't given you a formal meeting gift yet, right? I'll go and make it for a bit"
"Ah, you shouldn't have. You have done many things for us and the feast last night is enough for a meeting gift" Alicia did not expect to receive any more grace than this, she was already grateful to what Ebraham had done.
"No, I must. You will be benefited from this gift. Even I will be benefited from it" Ebraham insisted. He had something in mind that would help eased Alicia's worries and at the same time, assist him in understanding Alicia's character.
So, he left the room to complete his agenda.
When Ebraham went down to the ground floor and passing through the centre of the indoor park, he saw the fairies that were playing and swimming in the magical liquid pond.
"Ebraham! Where are you going?" Star and other fairies greeted Ebraham as they saw him passing through.
They went out of the pond and flocked around him.
"To the workshop to create a gift" Ebraham did not mind the fairies flocking around him and concisely answered them.
"Gift! Can I watch? I will not disturb you. I promise" Star instantly became interested by the word gift. He also loved watching Ebraham creating something. It was a magical sight.
"Me too!" "Me too!" Other fairies were also as curious as Star and eager to observe Ebraham.
"Sure" Ebraham helplessly smiled at their enthusiasms. These fairies were very curious creatures. If they were interested in something, they would eagerly try to learn and increase their understanding about it.
So, Ebraham went to the workshop with the fairies in tow.
The workshop he was referring to was a workplace he built adjacent to the storage hall. Variety of complex equipment and work-tools could be found in this workshop.
Although Ebraham could create something without using necessary tools as his Telekinesis could recreate the functions of such tools, he still faced some setbacks in the creation process. After all, being capable does not means it was easy to do so.
In his previous life, Ebraham only used his Telekinesis as a supplement to enhance his work process, not as the mean itself.
So, now, even after his evolution, he preferred to use corresponding tools in his work.
Furthermore, Ebraham enjoyed creating these tools and found a simple pleasure when he completed a set of tools. During his time in this world, Ebraham had completed multiple arrays of work-tools and placed them in the workshop.
"What are you creating?" asked Star as Ebraham was choosing a suitable cauldron from the shelf.
Star and other fairies sat on a high shelf as not to hinder Ebraham's work while having a complete view of the work process.
"A potion and a magic device" Ebraham answered after choosing a small cauldron.
Casually, while still arranging the necessary equipment of the table, Ebraham said,
"Lightspeed"
And variety of magic herbs appeared in front of him.
Sapphire Leaves, Cliff Roots, Thunder Basil and Azeorise
These magic herbs were the necessary ingredients for the potion Ebraham was making and all of these magic herbs also existed in Ebraham's world.
Since spring arrived, Ebraham began to study some of the ancient plants in this world. While he had only uncovered a part of it, he had found almost every magic herb that he had known in his previous world.
The magic herbs he found were the same species of the magic herbs in his previous world.
In other words, Ebraham could create every potion that he knew except for the one with missing ingredient, as he already had every ingredient he needed. He could use the original recipe of the potion without the need of alteration, saving a portion of his effort.
Nevertheless, as precaution, Ebraham collected some samples and tested the magical and chemical properties of the magic herbs.
The one doing the experiments were his three other vessels. They had nothing to do ever since he rescued the fairies after all. Other than going along with the antics of the fairies, those three vessels practically had no definite function at all.
So, its better for them to do the physical works of testing the samples of magic herbs.
To his surprise, the magic herbs in this world had very similar if not better magical properties than the magic herbs in his previous world. It had to be said the samples that he collected was magic herbs with the standard maturity age, not the decades or centuries old magic herbs.
From his experiments, he found that the magic herbs with the standard maturity age in this world had the same potency as a centuries old magic herbs in his previous world.
This would increase the efficiency of all potions he created from now on for several folds.
After the magic herbs were processed, mixed and synthesised; a vial of potion was completed.
Ebraham let out a sight while looking at the few drops of green liquid in the vial.
Yesterday's Memory Potion
This is the name of the potion Ebraham had just created.
'Though the trees were frozen, I remembered the blossoms just like yesterday'
The potion was named by the verse in the poem as the potion would enable its consumer to recall all of his memories just like yesterday. The memories that were recalled were everything that were stored in its consumer's brain. And it was frighteningly vivid.
However, the origin of this potion was not a pleasant one.
Ebraham still need to create the magic device for this potion to truly fulfilled its function, which is Mind Projection Screen.
The function of Mind Projection Screen was to show the image of one's mind when the device was connected to that person's brain.
Yesterday's Memory Potion and Mind Projection Screen were two of many evil tools created by the dark side of technological advancement.
By connecting Mind Projection Screen to someone's brain and forcing that person to consume Yesterday's Memory Potion, the Empire could examine that person's memories while copying the memories in the form of data.
The potion and the device were mainly used to extract information from the captured enemies since the captured Jinlan soldiers were usually fanatics that did not afraid of torture.
But the Empire also secretly tried to extract distinctive knowledge from captured experts of Jinlan Empire. Unfortunately, Yesterday's Memory Potion only recalled one's memories and not one's comprehension of knowledge, so the extracted data was little to no use when uncovering the secret of those experts.
And now, here was Ebraham planning to use Yesterday's Memory Potion and Mind Projection Screen on Alicia.
In Ebraham opinion, though these potion and device came from dubious origin, they were epitomes of technological advancement especially the Mind Projection Screen.
Mind Projection was a magic technique that was easily executed by the experts at the Masters Level. They could project their mind for others to see.
However, by utilizing the Mind Projection Screen, anyone from any level, even the Elementary Level student could achieve the same feat as those Masters. What's more, the Mind Projection could be stored as a data. This achievement was more valuable than being able to recall all memories.
Additionally, as an expert in transferring one's consciousness, Ebraham had a solution to the shortcoming of the device that needs to physically connect to the brain. By utilizing his knowledge in Automata to improve the Mind Projection Screen, the device could easily be used just by magic connection.
By giving Alicia the potion and device, she could permanently store her memories in the form of data. This would tremendously help her facing the adversity in this world.
But of course, Ebraham would first clearly explain the functions of Yesterday's Memory Potion and Mind Projection Screen to Alicia, and obtain her consent of using the tools, before using them on her.
