Chapter 8.2 (2/2)

The director of the research inst.i.tute was someone greedy and the possibility that he would take all the credits was high.

The achievements was originally due to the adventurer, and thanks to that he had hesitations.

In the first place, how did the adventurer know about Elixirs?

A quest to search for such materials — There was nothing like that.

There was no need for a client to hide the collecting of materials for the Elixirs or the highest level potions.

But if it was kept a secret, why would an adventurer talk about the existence of an Elixir potion?

(TL: Idk how to translate this properly. Izrael is thinking about the reasons why Chaos revealed the secrets about Elixirs, but the logic kind of looks ridiculous to me anyway.)

He had learned the existence of the Elixir potions through the deciphering of past relics and artifacts — That possibility is also low.

Then it was probably the adventurer wondering if he had the right information.

In order to check his accuracy, he talked to that boy running the store to confirm the accuracy. And he also taught him where to search for the materials.

But if that was the case how did the adventurer know about the Elixir potion?

The adventurers would not have bothered to teach a young boy running a store.

Then it was for the sake of showing off that the new medicine was comparable to the research everyone was doing and they had insufficient knowledge.

Was the adventurer a foolish man that did not know the value of what he had — Or a sage with unthinkable knowledge?

He had thought about this compounding craft to come from another country, but as long as they had such advanced techniques, he would have at least heard rumors about it.

This would ultimately mean an individual possessed this knowledge.

Why would that sage teach what the materials of an Elixir potion were and where to get them?

It was not strange for the Sage not to know how to manufacture it.

Just why did that adventurer do that?

Indeed, the information was lacking — First he should ask his student to talk to his son and introduce the adventurer to him — No, Izrael thought he should ask the adventurer himself.

He should not lose a chance to meet the sage and look for him personally.

He really wanted to meet him. Just how much did the sage knew if he did not know how much value the potion was?

He wanted to know him. To touch that abyss of knowledge.

Then he must inform him of his achievements.

The Elixir was a tremendous achievement in both military and craft.

With the increasing threats from the monsters and the menacing orcs from the the north, the army was considering to dispatch troops.

If they were equipped with the Elixir potions.

The mana and health potions did not have to be carried separately and the common sense of logistics would change completely.

It was not good to talk to the director — Then it would be someone ranked higher — The highest authority in the kingdom, the king himself.

If His Majesty knew about the value of this sage, he would silence the greedy politicians, and invite the sage to the research center.

Even if it was one person there was a need to have talented people.

That nameless Sage, Chaos.

Who exactly are you— Izrael thought of the unknown sage he had not seen.
