Episode 5. I took the potion recipe and the first summon
nickel life heal and immediately returned to the academy.
As soon as I arrived, I left my suitcase in the room and ran without even wiping my sweat.
I managed to arrive in time by pulling the body screaming that I couldn’t do it with my mental strength.
chin!
“hmm?”
“Forgive me for being late. Heck heck.”
on time… …It was about 10 minutes late to say, but the professor didn’t care and resumed class, as if my efforts were false.
The door was opened roughly, so my eyes focused a little, but I ignored it and sat in the empty seat.
And, as expected, the gaze that fell on me faded in less than five seconds.
‘It’s good because it’s so good.’
I almost got dust in my eyes for a moment, but let’s just get over it.
“…As you know, Moheim leaves have an excellent nutritional and tonic effect, but if the intake exceeds a certain threshold, it becomes a chronic poison. This poison causes a headache along with hallucinations, but rather uses it… ….”
Professor Burban’s Intermediate Herbology.
The relationship between wizards and herbs is inseparable.
In dealing with numerous reagents and magic tools, herbs are the basic experimental materials and medium.
Of course, not only herbs, but all kinds of ingredients, such as by-products of monsters, were cheap compared to other ingredients.
Of course, rare herbs are eye-wateringly expensive, but let’s leave that out of the question.
In the game, even if I wasn’t a wizard, I memorized the names and combinations of herbs for doping and recovery potions.
“Typically, if you mix this Morheim leaf with three additional ingredients, an excellent potion to increase your physical strength is completed.”
While listening to the professor quietly, I realized something was strange.
‘Three ingredients? Aren’t there six?’
Obviously, in the game, the stamina boost potion was synthesized by mixing seven ingredients, including Morhaime leaves.
The only three additions were temporary nourishing tonics that were more degraded than that.
It was also a poor quality item that had side effects after the buff ended.
No one seemed to object, so I eventually stepped out.
I can’t stand the question
“That professor!”
“hmm? what?”
“Are those three things the Zahas fruit, the todol tree sap, and the Mel fruit?”
“okay. That’s right.”
“Aren’t there things like horn fish extract or matarata root bark?”
“her. Why do you go in like that? If you want to decide, you can do it yourself.”
When the professor made a sarcastic remark, the students laughed.
I was embarrassed for a moment, but I said thank you without showing it on the outside and sat down.
‘Why is it different from the game?’
If nothing else… ….
Could it be that the recipe hasn’t been discovered yet?
When I thought about it, goose bumps ran through my body.
‘Once class is over, I’ll go to the library.’
He wanted to immediately check the book containing the types of potions and reagents.
If there was a book for his major, he could have checked it, but Adrias, who was a slob, had never bought a book.
Finally, after class, I was about to head straight to the library when someone stopped me.
“Seniors.”
At first, I came out thinking that he was not calling me, but I stopped walking when I heard the voice again.
“Senior Adrias Cromwell.”
I turned my attention to the clear pronunciation of the voice, even calling my last name.
There, a mysterious girl was looking at me.
A gust of wind blew and scattered the pinkish-white bobbed hair like cherry blossoms.
Knowing the girl’s true identity, I managed to clear my face.
‘Lucia Everlast.’
A sleepy-eyed girl with a mysterious aura soon approached me.
“I have a question for you.”
“What.”
I don’t know why she called me up, but I was nervous without knowing it.
Lucia tilted her head as if she was slightly puzzled, as if my appearance was awkward, but she didn’t pay attention and asked a question.
“Why did you ask that question a moment ago?”
I hope you are taking the same class.
It was still early in the semester, and it hadn’t been long since I became Adrias, so I didn’t know the details of the situation around me.
Come to think of it, she had enough reasons to study herbal medicine.
If it hadn’t been for the first year, I would have been taking Advanced Herbology.
“No, just. I want to get along well.”
“Are you hornfish? To be honest, I can understand Matarata to some extent, but why did Horn Fish appear out of nowhere?”
That recipe was the product of my hard work.
This unfriendly game had nothing to tell us except for the basic recipe.
One day, I set up a day and mixed all kinds of japtem for a week.
Fortunately, there is a correction in the game, so if you mix the items, even if you fail, a hint came out.
What I completed based on that hint were the combinations in my head right now.
“I came up with that because of the Morhaime fruit.”
“Why are the Mohaiim fruits suddenly appearing?”
“As you know, the Morhaime fruit is much more effective than its leaves, but has more side effects. And one of the side effects is like an addictive drug substance.”
“What?”
“To neutralize this, we need the Matarata root bark you just mentioned. However, it cannot be completely erased, so I just thought that horn fish would be perfect for neutralizing it properly.”
“So, senior, did you think that you could make a potion to increase your stamina with fruits?”
“well.”
I can’t say any more.
Maybe it’s a story that could be my money line.
Of course, there are dozens and hundreds of combinations besides this one.
I can’t remember everything, but I should write down the things that come to my mind somewhere.
“Honpishi….”
Seeing her suddenly lost in thought, I wondered if I had just told her.
It’s a sudden idea, but it was amazing to see a character that I used to see in gutter-like graphics in real life.
It was crushed like that in the game, but in reality, it’s to the point of slapping a celebrity.
Along with such crazy thoughts, vague memories came to mind.
‘ha. It was very difficult for you too.’
She was the third, or last, character I raised among wizards.
Overall, the ninth character.
The difficulty was the cancer itself.
His talent was so outstanding that it would be appropriate to say that he was crazy.
Even with a little training, if you look at the rapidly rising mana and skill proficiency, the blocked speed is cleared.
In terms of talent alone, she’s probably better than Diene, whom I met the other day.
But why was the difficulty level a lump… ….
“hmm? Are you still here? You can go now. My business is over.”
“okay. Good job.”
Aren’t all geniuses that cheap?
Still, I didn’t want to look bad, so I smiled and left.
He’s going to die in a few years anyway, so you don’t have to worry too much about it.
The reason for her high difficulty level. It was because of an incurable disease.
‘It was the character I retweet the most. No, it’s not even Lit after all. Because he should have started a new game, not a save load.’
I think I counted up to the twentieth to start over, but I gave up counting after that.
The difficulty of her treatment was so high, but even as I am now… ….
‘for a moment….’
After thinking about it for a bit, I saw a possibility.
‘I think I can save it, but?’
Because you already have clear experience.
She was the one who got me on the edge and making hundreds of recipes.
It was difficult to find a recipe for her cure, but it was something that could be solved with enough ingredients.
‘Of course, the materials are not easy.’
It is true that if you know the recipe, you can save it.
The problem was what would happen if he saved her.
‘When I played, I definitely killed Adrias.’
If the disease is not cured, he will die before he can defeat Adrias.
However, it was she who picked up Adrias’ throat soon after curing the disease.
While I was lost in my thoughts, I arrived at the library before I knew it.
“Where can I find a book listing a potion or reagent type?”
“Ah, that just happened to be returned. Here you go.”
It looks like someone took it to herbalism class.
Did you return it right after the lecture?
I wanted to check the book right away, but before that I had something to do.
‘I’m going to see my self-proclaimed teacher.’
Hurry up, hand over the body, and do my thing.
* * *
Charon’s lecture was still in progress when I visited.
Thanks to that, I had a little time left, so I was able to eat and come back with a coupon I had paid in advance.
“Adrias.”
“yes. professor.”
“It smells.”
“yes?”
“It smells like food. Disgusting.”
“…sorry.”
Why do you fight this crazy guy as soon as you see him?
I only eat dew and buy it.
Karon just said what he had to say and didn’t take his eyes off the book, then glanced sideways at the suitcase I had brought.
“I thought you said you would give it two days, but did you bring it already?”
“yes.”
Because it was two days, I thought yesterday and today were two days, but looking at the nuance, it seems that was not the case.
Well, I didn’t have too much free time.
Charon closed the book without saying anything and stood up.
“Follow me.”
Like the day before, I walked through the barrier and entered the lab.
Upon entering, Charon immediately ordered the body to be taken out.
The inside of the carrier enchanted with space expansion magic was dark, so nothing could be seen.
I reached out and took out the larger of the two corpses.
“Grunt.”
It was certainly the corpse of a young knight, so it was sturdy and heavy.
As I struggled to get the body out, Karon stood there silently, stroking his chin, looking thoughtful.
While he was silent, I looked at Angela just in case.
-Koul… ….
Very good to sell.
I’m glad I didn’t go wrong though.
If she’s wrong, she’ll probably become a test subject right away because of Charon’s anger, even if there’s no proof that I did it.
“It is in better condition than I thought. I will turn this into a chimera undead.”
At the word chimera, my body reacted with an automatic reflex.
Of course, it’s not because I’m upset, it’s just because I have a lot of work to do.
Fortunately, it was not done right away, but it took a period of time to apply all sorts of reagents and ripen as if seasoning the body of a knight who had been brought.
Of course, I had to do most of this work myself.
“The time is already like this.”
While working for a while, Charon, who was touching the reagent next to me, said.
Then, without saying anything, he left the lab.
“When you’re done, put it on top of the magic circle I made and activate it.”
The lab closed after a voice that sounded vaguely as if speaking from the office connected to the lab.
“ha. this bastard.”
It doesn’t give you a single penny, but it’s dirty to order to eat.
“Oh money!”
Come to think of it, I forgot the price of the train ticket.
Next time I’ll be sure to talk it out and tear it off.
After meticulously finishing the work and activating the magic circle, he stretched while watching the ominous energy radiate as before.
I endured my body, which was getting tired from overdoing it for the past two days, with mental strength.
“ah.”
Now, just as I was about to read a book on black magic, I remembered our nickel left in my carrier.
‘Should I make it now?’
Once created, storage was a problem.
I’ve never raised a necromancer, so I don’t know exactly, but when I look at the guys I’ve dealt with, I often see them storing them in subspaces and then summoning them… ….
‘Do I want to have a subspace?’
In the first place, space magic could only be used by high-level wizards.
After thinking about it for a bit, I decided to just keep it in my carrier if it didn’t work.
Even though it’s a corpse, I’m going to keep it in the carrier anyway, so I guess it doesn’t matter.
There’s nothing for Karon to check.
When Nickel’s body was taken out, a courteous old man came out.
Looking at the body, I had some doubts.
‘Are you really an Aura Master?’
I wondered if I was mistaken.
If I’m mistaken, I’ve used a huge dump.
‘no. Easter eggs can’t be fake.’
Trust me and trust the game.
…Thinking like this makes me feel a little weak because neither of them is reliable.
I felt a little disappointed when I tried to use the necromancer.
If my level of necromantic skill was high, I would have summoned Dullahans or Dark Warriors as ghouls rather than ordinary skeletons.
That’s why most necromancers do not use their excellent corpses and keep them.
‘Now is not the time for me to cover hot rice with cold rice.’
Besides, I chose the characteristics with this situation in mind in the first place.
If it’s evolution, I’ll solve it somehow.
Still, with the mindset that I would do as much as I could, I added Charon’s reagents and some ingredients little by little so as not to be seen.
[Basic Necromancer: Summon Skeleton.]
[A corpse is detected.]
[Ingredients helpful for Necromancer are detected. Additional effects are applied.]
‘Ugh.’
Mana runs out.
No, how many are missing just to raise one?
The more mana went in, the more the body of the nickel lying on the ground corroded.
Soon after, Nickel rose from his seat with nothing but pure white bones remaining.
[Basic Necromancer: Summon Skeleton Successfully]
[Summoned a skeleton (legendary).]
[Basic Necromancer: Skeleton Summon Level rises from 1→3.]
[The level of the raised corpse is excellent. A stat bonus is added.]
[The level of the raised corpse is far superior. Tiers go up. Become a Skeleton Soldier.]
[The level of the raised corpse is close to Transcendence. Receive a little bit of the self from when you were alive.]
