Chapter 435: Ash’s capability as an Alchemist part 2 (1/2)
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
At this moment, inside a small Alchemist Laboratory, a handsome Elf with red-colored hair and wearing a yellow-colored robe was mixing some ingredients together while at the same time also writing his discovery on a piece of paper by his side.
After finishing mixing the ingredients, the man moved towards a cage by his side, which has an Alchemist Rat inside. He opened the cage and took out the Alchemist Rat before making it drink the potion.
Whoooosh!
Slowly, the body of the Alchemist Rat started disappearing into nothing. The body didn't really disappear, but rather it turned invisible.
The invisibility started from the foot of the Alchemist Rat as it slowly made its way towards its head.
”Here it comes!” The man said as excitement was evident in his voice.
Unfortunately, the invisibility only covered half of the Alchemist Rat's body before it started returning back to normal.
Seeing this, the man could only feel disappointed. He carefully put back the Alchemist Rat inside its cage as he grabbed a pen and put a large word 'Failure!' on the paper.
”What else do I lack to complete this recipe?” The man asked himself as he stared at the word 'Failure!' on the paper.
”I've already added some Aura Concealing Fruit, Invisible Plant, the blood of Night Crawlers, and a vial of Crystal Waters. All of these ingredients have the property of invisibility and are also compatible with each other, yet it still lacks something to complete it.”
The man began walking back and forth while thinking of what else does he lack to complete his newest recipe, an Invisibility Potion.
This man's name is Eugine, an Elite Alchemist. Though that's not really his actual level, because if he really wants to, he could actually become the 2nd Lord Alchemist of the Emerald Tree Kingdom. The only reason why he didn't choose to become one was because of the heavy workload that a Lord Alchemist receives every single day, which honestly speaking, would shorten his time for Alchemy. Unlike his current level right now, which basically allowed him to spend all of his time in studying more about Alchemy.
”I feel like I only lack one thing to complete this recipe,” Eugine said to himself, ”Once I find this missing ingredient, then I would be the first Alchemist in the entire Celestial World to ever successfully make an Invisibility Potion.”
Throughout all the Alchemist Association of the entire Celestial World, no one has ever concocted an Invisibility Potion.
Some say that it's impossible, while others say that maybe they are thinking it the wrong way, that instead of making an Invisibility Potion, they should instead make a Cloaking Potion, a potion that would reduce one's presence to almost nothing, which if one thinks deeply about it, could actually still be called invisibility. After all, if no one can feel a person's presence, then no one would be able to notice that they exist or that they are nearby.
However, Eugine never believes such a thing. For him, Invisibility Potion is very possible, because nothing is impossible for Alchemy. It's just that, those that had wanted to create an Invisibility Potion lacked an ingredient to successfully make one.
Because of that, Alchemists began giving up such research and focused on the Cloaking Potion instead.
While Eugine was deep in thought, the door of his small Alchemist Laboratory was opened loudly.
Bang!
”Ellen?” Eugine soon saw Ellen in front of the door, catching her breath after running so quickly from the Alchemist test room to this Alchemist Laboratory.
”I'm really sorry for disturbing you, sir Eugine, but you are the only Elite Alchemist I could find after looking so hard.” Ellen explained while bowing her head a bit to apologize. As a receptionist of the Alchemist Association, she long already knew that Eugine is only second to the Lord Alchemist, despite his level of an Elite Alchemist. So, she needs to be respectful in front of him, especially with her small status.
”Well, almost everyone is participating in the Emerald Event.” Eugine nodded his head in understanding, ”Anyways, why are you looking for me?”
”It's like this; someone came to our Alchemist Association to register as an Alchemist.”
”Okay, but shouldn't this be your responsibility? It is still part of your responsibility to test those people that wanted to register as an Alchemist, right?” Eugine said.
”Yes, I know, sir Eugine. But the thing is, the person that took the test concocted a large vial of Sleeping Potion. I wasn't able to stop her in time because, just like what you always said to everyone, it's a big taboo to disturb an Alchemist once they start making something.” Ellen said.
”Indeed, which honestly speaking, is what you've just done,” Eugine said with a roll of his eyes, ”If only you weren't the daughter of my brother and that I was the one who pulled the string to assign you at the front desk, then I would have definitely kicked you out of the Alchemist Association for disrupting me.”
”I also know about that, sir Eugine. And I deeply apologize.” Ellen said as she bowed her head ninety degrees.
”So, what's the important thing that made you disrupt me?” Eugine said as he crossed his arms in front.
”You really understand me, uncle Eugine!” Ellen quickly changed the tone of her voice as she raised her head and smiled in relief. If she had disrupted other Alchemists, then they would definitely not forgive her. Fortunately, it was her uncle Eugine that she had disrupted and not someone else.
