Chapter 16 (1/2)
”What are you talking about, out of the blue…? First, please cal anywhere”
Hazeline carefully admonished him She wasn’t sure of what happened, but the alchemist see, unlike last time they met
Fortunately, Sae-Jin was able to follow her advice Hoo-woo For about acame out of the receiver, and his relatively calmer voice followed soon after
– ”An iteht away has become available I’m well aware that the proceeds froht now, I have 10 bottles of potions finished and in stock I won’t ask money for them, but can you help m…”
”Huh? You already have 10 in stock?!”
Sae-Jin was in a serious hurry but Hazeline’s thoughts were focused elsewhere
How long has it been since he was here beforelast, but he already brewed 10 le one of therade potion like before If that was the case, then he’d be The Alchemy Personified But, to have created 10 potions in less than a rade or lower, then well, it was comparable to the level of an alchemy workshop It was an utter nonsensical joke no one would believe if a lone alcheed to match a workshop’s output
– ”Yes, I have 10 bottles I can guarantee their efficacy One potion can greatly increase the constitution, another is an inferior version of 'A Goblin’s Kindness' that has recovery effects, while the other one increases resistance towards elements…”
”Eh, eh? Hold on, what did you say just now?!”
Hazeline shot up from her seat in shock Now, it was her turn to feel restless Not only she couldn’t figure out how he had brewed 10 potions so quickly, but she also heard the ”increases resistance towards elements” bit THAT, was a serious probleer existed Orforgotten
Around 60 years ago, a the ”first alchemists” to cross the World’s Rift and settle down on Earth was a certain household named Rodes
Often referred to as the Rodes Family, their alche to say their alcheacy became the forefather of the modern alchemy
And just like the modern day alchemists, the Rodes Family was very secretive and never shared their formula with anyone As a consequence, there were nust those, one of them happened to be the ”Eleo, the Rodes Family suddenly disappeared without a trace - as if they didn’t exist in the first place So, all the recipes and for with them
Not only the Rodes Family left behind an indelible mark on the world of alchemy, they also left behind a mystery that could not be solved by the current level of modern day alchemists
They were seen as a source of inspiration, as idols for adulation, and a great end in the process
And now, this one guy was busy saying that he had created a potion that only a Rodes could have made…
”W, ait a minute What potion did you say it was? Elemental resistance?”
– ”…Yes, I did”
At his composed reply, Hazeline nearly fainted on the spot She so badly wanted to go to where he was and confirm the truth of this potion for herself
”B, but how? No, wait - where are you now? I’ll come and see you…!!”
– ”No, that’s a little inconvenient for ely excited reactions
But Hazeline was feeling really, ht now This conversation was now at a level well past the real completely crazy
So, soHazeline, fore thefor the ”Great Alcheo was precisely that - to recreate all the potions that had vanished along with the disappearance of the Rodes Family They focused on 5 items back then, and one of the, organised by the Knights Orders and led by the to discover the recipes, they couldn’t even figure out the ingredients used for the potions Deepbetween each alchehts, as a result
”…Ah, no Well… if Sir Sae-Jin really brewed a Resistance potion… we need to meet first We should talk about this only after we o to you Where are you?”
That very same day, two of therade It should be around the Mid grade”
Hazeline spoke while exa the scarlet-coloured liquid contained in a potion bottle
Her breathing was rising up rapidly Using her 17 years of alchemy experience, she confirmed it This looked exactly the same as the illustrations of ”Rodes' Element Resistance” potion she had seen It was really the Element Resistance potion
Even though it was rated at a rather lowly Mid grade, there was little doubt Knights Orders would go mad with desire for this potion The eleher were very difficult to deal with, after all
The physical daated with armours, but these arainst the attacks of flaon Turtle or a Wyvern, so the Knights had to defend using only the Mana Barriers
But unless one was a High Tier Knight, it was difficult to endure the incredibly high Mana expenditure Even those ae Monsters that used innate elemental attacks without a recovery potion
However, the story changed a great deal with the Element Resistance potion in the picture This was a potion used exclusively for the subjugation of the top ranked Monsters Following the standards set by the Rodes Fae froht would have a far easier ti the Monster as the a the Barrier would decrease
”This potion… did you make it alone?”
”Yes It was difficult to brew them so I could only breo bottles’ worth”
Sae-Jin nodded his head This Ele co requireredients, it also required hiredients hell, even with the Goblin’s Crafts numerous times
Actually, the reason why he made this potion was to increase his proficiency with that very skill The thing was, he receivedpotions, compared to when he was successful
”…”
At this veryat this potion were thinking two very different things
