Chapter 296
“Let’s go! To show off my skills!”
The alchemist said with a determined face.
Lee Han asked, a little taken aback.
“hmm. I want to meet Yoner of the Meikin family…”
“Ah. Well done. The person to evaluate today is Mr. Yoner of the Meikin family. All you have to do is follow me.”
Lee Han was delighted with the alchemist’s words.
The people of the Meikin family were so hectic that I was sorry to stop work and call them, but listening to the alchemist’s words, it seems that if I just go on like this, I will be able to meet Yoner.
Ratford tilted his head.
“Mrs. Wardanaz. What I don’t understand… isn’t Meikin a freshman like us? I know you’re good at alchemy, but can you even evaluate a newly created potion?”
“Certainly it is. Couldn’t other people in the family beside me giving advice?”
In aristocratic families, achievements were often sacrificed for the fame of their descendants.
It wouldn’t be surprising if the family alchemists next to him would give advice and evaluate in Yoner’s name.
“indeed. Noble families are very interesting.”
“yes? Learning all these things will come in handy later. Ratford.”
“Thank you… Huh?”
Ratford was puzzled.
Where is it useful?
‘Are you telling me to steal?’
* * *
“Basic ingredients on the left, additional ingredients on the front, if you want special ingredients, leave a note on the right, and let me know if you have any alchemy tools you need! If you cause a big accident inside, I can make you responsible, so if you’re worried, call a supervisor!”
The Maikin family servant shouted as if pouring out.
The urgency to finish this work quickly and go to the next work flashed on his face.
“for a moment. Aren’t you noble? Why are you here?”
It was only then that the servant noticed Lee Han and Ratford’s clothes and was embarrassed.
If you were from an aristocratic family, you didn’t have to wait like the people in line in front of the mansion.
Wouldn’t it be enough to send someone in the name of the family, make an appointment, and meet separately?
Then the alchemist spoke sternly instead.
“Even nobles have to wait if they regret it.”
“What is that…? no i get it Call me if you need anything!”
The servant decided to let it go, rather than intervene in his business and be rude.
If you always stay still, the middle is the way to go.
“ruler. Shall we begin then?”
The alchemist grinned at Lee Han.
Until just now, they were colleagues who had come for the same purpose, but now they are like competitors.
“When is the Meiken family coming?”
“Won’t you come when I finish making the potion?”
Lee Han pondered for a moment.
Things are getting complicated, but I wondered if I should just go out and grab a servant and explain the situation by saying, “There seems to be a misunderstanding.”
‘hmm. I feel sorry for nothing.’
But if it did, it could get into a difficult situation, starting with the gatekeeper and the servant who showed the way.
It was quite a big mistake to not properly greet guests from other noble families, and someone had to take responsibility to save each other’s face.
“Ratford. I guess I should have just revealed my identity at the front door earlier.”
“……”
Ratford looked at Lee Han as if he was dumbfounded.
no…!
“Is that right? No, something was wrong! You’re from the Wardanaj family…”
“I mean. Everyone said they would line up, so I naturally lined up.”
“If you had revealed it when you came in earlier…”
“I missed the opportunity because that alchemist shouted first. Well, even if it was revealed at the time, there would have been a commotion.”
Han Lee made a decision after scratching his cheek.
“Let’s make a potion and call Yoner. If you meet Yoner, things will be settled quietly.”
“All right.”
“Whoops. I guess you’ve made up your mind now. What potion did you decide to make?”
“Lesser health recovery potion.”
“I’m going to make a minor health recovery potion.”
“?!”
Alchemist Caljunin was taken aback by their words.
It was a valuable opportunity to be evaluated by the Meikin family.
Of course, it’s not enough to make an extraordinary potion developed by yourself at 120%, right?
“Is that okay?”
Ratford looked at Lee Han as if he was wondering how to answer.
However, this situation was as easy as breathing for Lee Han, who had been severely trained in Ein Lorgard.
“Sometimes the most basic is the greatest.”
“Is the most basic the greatest?”
“If there is an alchemist who has made one potion a thousand times and an alchemist who has made a thousand potions once, which alchemist is better?”
“…!”
Caljunin was shocked as if lightning had passed through Lee Han’s words.
It was certainly plausible.
‘is it? Was I being too greedy?’
Caljunin was struggling to show more than his skills.
But come to think of it, that was overkill.
There is no way that the Meikin family’s outstanding alchemists would not be able to recognize such bravado.
“indeed…!”
Caljunin came to a deep realization and nodded.
It might be better to make a potion that you are most confident in and show it to me rather than making a potion that you are not confident about.
Ratford whispered, impressed.
“The story you just told me was touching.”
“okay? But I threw it roughly, so don’t listen too much.”
“……”
The three alchemists started making potions while moving busily.
Crush the ingredients with a cheerful sound, put them in a stone mortar, heat the bottom of the pot to boil water, and swing your staff to recite a spell…
“The color seems a little muddy? Boil another minute or so.”
“All right.”
After answering that, Ratford suddenly felt strange and asked.
“But isn’t this a test?”
“It’s good if you do what you already do well. Aren’t you giving it to others after studying?”
“That’s right.”
Ratford shivered as he sensed the gentle madness of the senior.
I wanted to become the top of my grade only when I enjoyed studying like that.
* * *
Joanen Maykin meticulously cleaned the amethyst glasses and put them back on.
Then he asked the servant.
“To the west wing now?”
“yes. There are three of us.”
“How was it?”
“I dare to evaluate it carefully. ah. The two of you seemed to be from aristocratic background.”
“Ehh?”
Joanen ran a hand through his red hair and asked again.
“Where are you from?”
“Looks like he came from a noble family…”
“Then why are you waiting at the west building?”
“…I don’t know that either.”
Embarrassed by the servant, Joanen asked no more.
Well, what would the servant say if the other party just waited?
“Did you want to be evaluated based on your skills rather than your family name?”
“ah! Maybe something like that.”
“That’s a good attitude. let’s go.”
“Are you okay? I think you should get some more sleep…”
“A person needs only one hour of sleep a day.”
“……”
The servant chased after Joanen with the mind that he wanted to be like this.
After opening the door of the West Building, Joanen headed for the guest workshop.
Upon entering the workshop, the alchemists inside stood up to greet them. Joanen held out his hand as if he was okay and checked the potion.
“Why did you make this olivine potion instead of making a new potion? Wouldn’t that be such a difficult potion?”
Caljunin replied with a nervous face.
“Originally, I was going to make and submit my own potion. But when I thought about it, I felt it was better to show you the potion I could make the best than to force myself to show you the potion I couldn’t make perfectly.”
“indeed. It’s good that there are no useless bluffs. Good idea.”
“thank you!”
“Next…”
Joanen, who saw the next potion, was a bit bewildered.
“No matter how well a potion can be made, isn’t this a bit too easy?”
“That’s…”
Before Lee Han could say anything, Joanen opened the lid of the vial and checked the potion.
And then I was surprised.
‘This?’
< Lesser Stamina Recovery Potion > was a famous potion with dozens of recipes.
Even people who have not learned alchemy try to make it with the rumors and knowledge they have heard.
But of course, just because there are many manufacturing methods, the quality is not the same. The quality was as varied as it was diverse.
And this < Lesser Stamina Recovery Potion > was really excellent.
A well-refined recipe, an excellent alchemist’s skill, and…
‘How much magic did you put into it?’
Alchemy did not end with simply putting the ingredients correctly. The higher the difficulty of the recipe, the wizard’s magic was also included.
A good alchemist must be a good wizard.
However, this potion was several times stronger than other potions.
It was clear that the magician had over-injected magic to the limit without disturbing the balance of the potion.
The ability to control mana close to art.
“There is no need to worry about this. pass. what do you want?”
Joanen looked away from the potion and turned his head.
Then, I saw two young students looking at Joanen with slightly puzzled eyes.
“Please call me Yoner.”
“…??!”
* * *
No matter how you look at it, when someone like Yoner’s older sister came in, Lee Han asked Caljunin.
“I heard Yoner of the Meikin family evaluates you?”
“Ah… I’m sorry. It seems I was nervous and misunderstood. It was Joanen.”
“……”
If it was Einrogard, he would have punched right away, but unfortunately, it was outside the school.
Lee Han waited for Yoanen to evaluate the potion.
“…you don’t have to worry about this. pass. what do you want?”
“Please call me Yoner.”
Joanen was startled, but belatedly came to his senses.
“Are you Yoner’s friend? Ein Rogard students?”
“yes.”
“You’re from a noble family, right?”
“you’re right.”
“But you still want to get a proper evaluation?”
Joanen looked at Lee Han with a very admirable look.
Lee Han replied firmly.
“no.”
“no?”
Lee Han briefly explained what had happened from the front gate of the mansion.
Joanen replied with an apologetic expression.
“I’m so sorry. No matter how busy the mansion is, to treat your brother’s friend so neglectfully.”
“no. I made a mistake.”
“Thank you for being considerate of the servants. They are all people I care about.”
Joanen was deeply impressed by Lee Han’s caring attitude.
It was unusual for someone from an aristocratic family to show such consideration for servants from other families.
“Which family are you from?”
“really. It seems to be a particularly busy day today.”
Lee Han quietly turned around.
When the name of the Wodanaz family was mentioned, people’s reactions were usually divided.
One is a reaction of respect as the foremost master of magic in the empire.
The other is a fearful reaction as a mad master of magic in the empire.
I haven’t even met Yoner yet, so I didn’t want to bet on half-and-half odds.
“Today? no. There are relatively few guests today.”
“yes? People in front of the mansion…”
“When there are a lot of guests, you may have to wait a day or so to come in.”
Lee Han was amazed.
The Meikin family must have been richer than Lee Han thought.
“It’s a family rule. You don’t know what kind of talent the person who came to you is, so you have to do your best to treat them. Didn’t such outstanding people actually come here?”
“no.”
Joanen was more satisfied with Lee Han’s expression of humility.
It seemed that the younger brother made good friends.
Still, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to make decent friends while taking care of the stupid royal family member.
“really. So, which family are you from? I haven’t heard the answer.”
“…from the Wardanaz family.”
“Where are you?”
“This is the Wardanaz family.”
“……”
