Chapter 95 - New Events and Migratory Bird Policy Meeting (1/2)

Toby came back to the desert two days after we resumed logging in on TB.

In the meantime, we spent our time as we wished, with no particular goal in mind.

Yumir and I did some preliminary research on the cultivation of farmland.

Riizu is buying materials and studying to make items.

Selene went about her business as usual, blacksmithing.

“So, why is Yumir down, that he is?”

“I hope you can guess by looking at the bottle lying in that guy’s hand.”

“…?”

Yumir is lying face down on the floor of one of the rooms in the guild home, with the remains of the potion bottles lying around her.

And ignoring this, Riizu mixes the herbs at her own pace using a mortar at the table.

“I don’t know. I don’t know,” Yumir said suddenly, “What does a recovery potion taste like? I don’t know.”

“Ah, ah. I know what you mean. You mean you drank?”

“Correct. I heard the regular portions were good.”

She was in a good mood and drank one after another, and this was the result.

She was just watching me and Liz dispense the medicine, so I can understand why you were bored. ……

“Well, first, …….”

“Oh, I’m up, that I am.”

“The first potion tasted like a nutritional drink. But this antidote …… ugh …….”

“Don’t throw up, okay? I don’t know if you can throw up in games, but don’t ever throw up!”

“I’m fine.”

He rubs her back and gives Yumir some water, which is precious in the desert.

Push the bitterness down your throat with this.

She’s drunk on camels, she’s drunk on drugs, what the hell, really.

“No one would ever guess that this is the winner of the tournament. ……”

“It’s an utter abomination. ……”

“It’s stupid. No doubt about it.”

“What the hell– ugh!”

“Don’t scream. And before that, don’t try to force yourself to speak until you calm down.”

The antidote was bitter and smelled like a strong herbal medicine.

By the way, the effects of recovery medicines are the same whether you drink them or pour them over your body.

Volunteers have already verified this, so this is simply due to Yumir’s curiosity.

“But you’ve bought an awful lot of materials, that you have.”

Tired from the long trip, Tobi slumped down in his chair and looked at the herbs on the table.

As well as medicinal herbs, there was a large collection of mixing tools.

This room is also a kind of workshop, different from the forge. I wonder if I should call it the apothecary?

In addition to mixing, it can be processed in various ways, including grinding, drying, and heating.

“Well, I’ve got plenty of money on me at the moment. I just need to make a few things and get some experience.”

“It’s cheaper to just make them from the materials on the trading board than it is to buy them from the NPC store. I’ve only just started, though, so the added effects are nowhere near as good.”

“Oh, I see. Then what is this unfamiliar purple liquid bottle over here? It doesn’t look like a potion. ……”

“It’s poison.”

When Tobi heard the word “poison,” he retracted his outstretched hand.

Basically, most potions are clear blue or green, but this potion is a murky purple.

“Oh …… Yumir, be careful not to drink this one by mistake, that you will.”

“…… Even I wouldn’t eat something as dangerous as that.”

Yumir replies, breathing slightly raggedly, as if he has recovered a little.

If you get poisoned, the condition itself can be cured with “Recover”, but I don’t even want to imagine what your throat will look like if you drink it.

By the way, Riizu seems to be better at refining poisons than I am.

If anything, she is struggling more with the recovery medicine.
