Episode 99
“It is not an easy story. … … It seems that you have already received the money.”
The market price of Haeju medicine is not cheap.
In case of cancellation, the deposit must be refunded. because that’s the way
“You can give it.”
“Do I have any money!”
“Wow… … . There is no solution, this man.”
The store will have to be disposed of.
“I’ll tell you, but I’m not doing this because I hate the store.”
know.
The reason why he is trying to complete the request somehow is because of why the teacher accepted the request at the time.
At least I know that it was to get the funds that will serve as the base for the student to study at Philos Academy.
“So, what about that request? It seemed that the work was not going well.”
“… … Chit, I was going to be able to do something with a little thought.”
obviously pretentious
It’s not that I can’t do it because I don’t have enough skills.
“Is the recipe the problem?”
“… … really not cute Yes, it takes time to check ingredients that even I don’t know about.”
Loss of recipe.
“I know the key ingredients, but I don’t know a few things that I need to finish.”
“Isn’t that what your master left behind?”
“Little boy, there are things you can’t help with living this damn life.”
Something with affectionate eyes and closed mouth.
what’s the matter
“… … I spilled some soup the year before last and I couldn’t recognize some of them.”
“That is self-inflicted.”
This sister just ate it.
So, using the recipe book left by Master as a pot stand?
“Anyway, I’m going to be busy, so find out somewhere else. … … Well, maybe I won’t see you again next time.”
“That’s it.”
You must be prepared for the failure of the request.
To find out elsewhere is to talk about the entire future transaction.
That is why I dare to propose.
“Then I will do something about it. No, I’ll finish it right away.”
“what?”
“That recipe. Actually, I know.”
“… … uh? really?”
It’s a trivial quest that I’ve already gone through.
If you can use it to erase your debt, you should generously release your knowledge.
《A sub-quest will occur.》
《Fire of Alchemy》
《Goal: Help Carrot complete his quest.》
From the beginning, I came here for the purpose of trembling.
* * *
“Is that it! I just remembered!”
As soon as he hears the recipe, Mr. Carrot seems to start working right away as if he has already calculated what to do.
When I said I would help, he contemplated for a while before allowing it.
“Kid, I won’t entrust you with the task of extracting basic materials. Is that your specialty?”
“Simple, but what about Mr. Carrot?”
“In the meantime, prepare in earnest.”
Processing operations other than extraction. As an alchemist, she takes on tasks that require higher level skills.
“Come to think of it, there’s a saying that alchemists usually have the most reliable of their apprentices perform extractions.”
“… … When is it ever boring? There is just no time.”
Mr. Carrot muttered as if to stop talking nonsense and went upstairs.
Emily asked as if curious about the meaning of the previous conversation.
“What does that mean?”
“Extraction is good for messing with materials.”
In the old alchemist’s workshop, it was common for rivals and apprentices to play tricks to disparage each other.
Of course, it’s a thing of the past, and as Mr. Carrot said, it may be an old custom.
It’s not something that should be handed over to someone else.
“Anyway, let’s get to work. As Mr. Carrot said, you’d better hurry.”
I shrug my shoulders and start extracting and refining the materials specified by Mr. Carrot.
The trick is to extract and classify only substances that contain the essential effects of the material, just like when preparing a potion.
“It’s easy.”
When I finished, I took them upstairs.
I wanted to yell at you for being late.
“It is quiet.”
surprisingly quiet
It was so quiet that even the sound of footsteps could not be accidentally made.
Mr. Carrot seems to be preparing to work on alchemy.
I close my eyes for a moment as if I am reminiscing about my work process.
“… … what, are you done already? Then leave it there.”
“Is it okay if I take a look?”
“Do whatever you feel like. It’s not a very interesting sight, and it’ll be over soon.”
To say that it doesn’t matter if the artisan sees the work means to what extent do you trust me?
There was no need to express myself.
I quietly wait for the work to begin.
“I see, little boy? Have you taken the alchemy class?”
“I’ve only heard about basic alchemy.”
“… … Then it must be the first time I see this.”
“An alchemy furnace?”
alchemy furnace.
It is the most complex of the alchemy equipment and is the key to accomplishing the work that can be called alchemy in earnest.
What I have used so far is nothing more than a basic task of simply extracting the ingredients, liquefying them, and mixing them well.
When I can handle full-scale equipment, I will use that alchemy furnace.
“If you’re going to watch, stay away for a bit.”
Mr. Carrot set fire to the alchemy furnace.
Although it is called fire, it is not really firewood.
own mana.
The mana is ignited within the equipment to create a special flame.
Roaring!
A transparent flame rises.
(… Oh my? What about those flames?)
Seeing the flames, Emily, in her spiritual form, muttered something familiar.
(I think I saw something similar somewhere.)
‘Which demon are you talking about?’
(Aha~.)
I admire you as if you understand.
(Humans could never have reproduced that.)
It is said that there is some devil.
Demon King… … . No, a demon with more power than that.
(The demon king is said to be wearing a strange flame.)
It’s not just a burning fire.
The fire melts everything.
But if it simply melted away like that, no one would call the fire strange.
(It is said that what melts in the fire changes again.)
It is said that the elements melted in fire become intertwined and eventually change into something new that has never been seen before.
Strange embers that disrupt the composition of all substances in the world and sometimes create new ones.
‘The fire of metamorphosis.’
(Whoops… you’re very knowledgeable. Xi’an’s knowledge is also bizarre.)
‘Because it’s like the legend of an alchemist.’
That transparent flame is what alchemists call ‘fire of alchemy’.
It is said that the alchemist who caused the first fire left these words.
‘They stole the ember that had all the possibilities in the world from a strange devil.’
(Really~.)
It was the ember that he created and imitated from the demon king.
Its efficacy cannot be compared to that of the demon king, but the first alchemist created it, and human technology has changed greatly.
(It’s a deteriorating ember, but I know how to handle that…. It’s not an easy skill, right?)
‘Among the alchemy professors at the academy, there are only three people who can handle it properly.’
Mr. Carrot said it as if it was nothing.
The third-rate alchemists everywhere were at best mixing crude potions.
Real alchemy is only possible for real pros.
(I see…. This is the reason Xian kept an eye on you.)
‘… … It’s like that to some extent.’
Watching the work, I moved my gaze slightly.
《Fire of Alchemy》
《Would you like to learn that skill?》
《You have failed.》
《You did not meet the learning conditions for the skill.》
《Purchase the wisdom of the alchemy class even more.》
‘I can’t do that either.’
It’s still a long way off.
The higher the skill level, the more difficult it was to reach it simply by working on points or skills.
‘Well, it will happen soon.’
For the day that arrives as soon as possible, look at and learn the skills of pioneers.
The fire of alchemy swallows and melts the materials.
What has melted without a shape is mixed to become a new liquid, and transparent flames knead it like dough to form a new composition.
The drug, the requested product, will be completed soon.
“… … ah! A vial to contain.”
Can’t you see the disease? However, Mr. Carrot nodded as if it was nothing, and tapped one of the chests at his feet with his toe.
Then, the fire of alchemy overflowing from the furnace engulfs the ark.
Part of the ark melted and a glass bottle was born.
From noble mtl dot com
“Indeed, it is a convenient device. If you become skilled, will you be able to do that?”
“… … You just need to practice.”
He spoke in a slightly evasive tone, but I pretended not to hear.
“Don’t admire it, come and hold on to the bottle.”
“yes. yes. It would be a waste to spill it.”
“Say… … .”
As I hold the glass bottle and wait, the medicine is naturally contained in it.
《Blue Healing Medicine》
《Grade : A》
《It is a medicine that can cure various diseases and curses.》
It’s really complete.
“It mixes easier than I thought. After all, your extraction technique is useful.”
“One compliment is too much.”
“If you want to learn, come into my studio.”
“You want to eat cheaply?”
“hahahaha, I’ll treat you well.”
I politely declined.
“If an accident happens at the academy, then I will look for a job here.”
“… … Say something nice.”
Anyway, the medicine was completed without difficulty.
Now just deliver this and you’ll complete the quest!
‘… … There’s no way.’
A quest is a way not to go back to eating raw.
No, it will start now.
* * *
The requested product was manufactured safely.
All that remains is to deliver and finish.
Mr. Carrot got ready to go out, as if he was going to bring the requested item to the count’s family, and I followed as if it were natural.
“Do I need to follow you?”
“What~ I’m bored. Let’s call it a moderately social field trip.”
“Don’t make unnecessary accidents.”
Mr. Carrot also can’t refuse coldly.
First of all, it is true that my knowledge played a big part in completing this.
“Now, let’s hurry up and buy Carrot for dinner tonight?”
“hahahaha! You are laughing.”
Anyway, with light steps, we headed to our destination.
“By the way, since I’m a noble, don’t I need to make an appointment in advance?”
“doesn’t care. Because the one I have to meet anyway is that hateful old man.”
“The butler… … . Indeed, indeed. I guess so.”
“ok? Little boy, what are you talking about?”
No, no big deal. I shook my head.
As Mr. Carrot said, as soon as we arrived at the count’s house and delivered the business, he let us in right away.
As soon as we were shown to the room for receiving merchants and insignificant guests, the butler we saw earlier appeared.
The butler of Count Helic’s family.
“You came sooner than expected. What’s the matter?”
“I brought some things. Now, let’s hurry up and finish the contract. I won’t hear anything else.”
Mr. Carrot talking harshly.
In the meantime, that butler must have said something that scratched his pride.
I watched silently for a moment.
The butler looks at us with the same glare as last time.
I was sure Maybe that gaze.
“What a pity. I thought you wouldn’t be visiting.”
“… … what?”
are mocking
It’s not that they laugh outright, but it feels like they’re belittling us right in front of them.
It was not the attitude he would show to the person who requested the necessary items.
“What are you going to do?”
Of course, Mr. Carrot also noticed the sense of incongruity.
I barely suppressed my irritation and asked, but the butler’s mood didn’t change.
“I’m sorry. Alchemist Carrot. We will not accept the medicine you brought.”
“ok? what do you mean?”
“It is literally.”
The butler says to Mr. Carrot, who asks in a low voice, suppressing embarrassment and irritation.
“We no longer need this.”
“… … What nonsense.”
“I was just about to tell you, but I never thought you’d find me first.”
It is sophistry.
Of course, there was no way he would just nod his head, and Mr. Carrot must have suppressed the feeling of wanting to hit the butler right in front of him.
It is not that there are no rude clients.
“Because there is no reason to need this medicine.”
The butler speaks calmly and arrogantly.
No need for medicine.
“I don’t know what, but that worked out. So what if you don’t want to take the medicine? Will it be canceled?”
“I guess so. However, the only drug we have ever ordered is one dose. The money for the remaining one must be returned.”
“Do you think that bullsh*t will work?”
Quadduk. Mr. Carrot clenches his fists, barely suppressing his anger.
would have noticed
I do not intend to take medication. And that this is not just a whim.
