After having a guild card made at the Alchemist Guild, Hayato hurriedly drove the carriage away as he had some urgent business to attend to.
''Ah, that's right! Mr. Ikki! You can use this if you want!'
Saying that, he handed me a small bag.
I took a peek inside, but it looks like there's nothing in it.
It's a magic bag. The size of the bag is small, but it also has a storage function, so I think it's useful.
....
I heard it was hard to get a magic bag, so I went out of my way to get the spatial magic by using high points.
"Also, there are ores and herbs inside that could be used in alchemy, so please use them as you please.
'Well why are you doing this to me?
It's a good thing that they've been so kind to me, I'm concerned about what's behind the scenes.
I'm not sure if I would hand over a magic bag to someone I just met today, even though it's small in size, that would bring in a lot of money if I sold it.
Of course we have a plan. It seems that Itsuki-san doesn't want to work, but I want to ask her to raise her alchemy level quickly, and there's also the fact that we have a surplus of magic bags.
'No, no, no, but still.
''No.... Actually, I'm grateful. That's why I'm thanking you. If you don't mind selling the bag and its contents, you can sell it.
Hmmm...
I don't remember doing anything that would be appreciated.........
I take what I can get, but still, hmmm.........
'Just take it already! I mean, we're in a hurry, so if you don't use it, you can just bring it back the next time you see me! Use what's inside for alchemy practice! That's how you can repay me for helping you.'
Miss Letty screams irritably from the gosholder's table.
Oh yes. I was in a hurry.
You will find that both Miss Mi and Chris are staring at you with a jitot in their eyes, and they seem to be getting impatient with this exchange.
''.........it's the appearance of a rival.......right? How could you do that!' "Uh, that man is a man, right?
I feel like I'm saying something else, but I'm sure it's just my imagination.
'Well then, Itsuki-san! Please come again! I mean, I'll come back to check on you once in the near future!'
"Oh, oh.
Huh? You're looking a little flushed. No, you're not, are you? You didn't flag it or anything, did you?
'Well, then! Ikki!
'Oh, oh. I'll practice my alchemy for now. Take care of yourselves, little girls.
''Yes,'' she said. Who are you talking to?'
Tsundere. You don't have to be a tsundere for me, you know.
That's how I got the magic bag that's currently sitting on my right hip.
Wow. I got it in my hand!
Well, well, there's still a chance that the transference could be hidden if I raise the level of spatial magic!
But it's easier to bag this one, so my skill level isn't going to go up!
"So, without further ado, why don't you show me some basic alchemy techniques, old lady?
Call me beautiful Reinrich!
'There, beautiful Rainrich. Please teach me how to smelt.
You're so honest you can't take no time to restate it.
I'd rather make my life depend on other people. That's important. Old people's wisdom is important. Let me know what you think, and let me know which ones have the highest conversion rates.
Old people have a lot of time to live.
I don't know if he's thick or thin, but if he's still the head of the Alchemist Guild, then there's no doubt about his alchemy.
''Isn't he quite unfortunate........ I wonder what that monk liked about this guy?''
I agree. It's a shame, I'm not going to deny it. But I'm going to take care of myself. I'm going to take care of it.
You've got to be kidding me! Now, get on with it and get out the ingredients the monk gave you!
As I put my hand into the bag as I was told, some words appeared in my head.
"Medicinal herbs.
medicinal plants
poisonous plant
moonflower (Ipomoea alba)
iron ore
red copper
bluestone
silver ore
magical ore
Jade
Oooh. This is useful, but you don't get a number of them.
Also, there are many names I don't know. I don't know any of them except for iron ore and jade.
In other worlds, it's impossible to know the characteristics of ores from scratch, isn't it?
My science isn't even in middle school. Even though I learned it in junior high school, I can't even remember half of it right now.
It's only a swee-heavy bag. There's no way I'm going to know any of his properties!
After all this time, why did I take the alchemy course?
I carefully arrange the contents on my desk while thinking about it.
There were many more than I expected, especially leaves that looked like medicinal herbs, and I found a lot of them.
But then I also found a lot of stones.
Whoa! Isn't that a lot?
There is a pile of grass and stones on my desk in the blink of an eye.
I don't even know which one is which.
I'll just use herbs and iron ore. The others are a hindrance, so get rid of them quickly.
You're the beauty, Leinrich. You can't tell the difference between a leaf and a pebble from a pebble that can be seen all together.
I'll give you a big compliment for not calling me old lady. I mean, you'd have been a good judge of character.
Oh, yeah, I had taken the appraisal skill.
I'll use it right away.
It's a herb used to make a HP potion. The result depends on your skill level and skill.
A herb used to make an MP potion. The quality of the herbs depends on your skill level and skill.
A herb used to make a detoxification potion. The quality of the herb depends on your skill level and skill.
Moonlight Grass. A grass bathed in moonlight.
"Iron Ore: Smelting Makes Iron.
"Red copper stone. Smelting makes red copper.
"Bluestone: Smelting Makes Steel.
Silver ore Iron ore with a small amount of silver. It is not easy to extract only silver even if it is smelted.
MAGIC ORE When smelted, it produces a magical stone.
Jadeite: A gemstone of good fortune, containing traces of magic. Very beautiful.
Whose subjective view is very beautiful?
Still, it's useful, appraisal.
Is it because I'm an alchemist or is it because I'm an alchemist that it says about alchemy, or is it because it has no other use?
'There wasn't much in it, was there?
I see. No, it's just that I can't see a future where I can't handle anything too expensive, so this is good.
Hmm? Well, you're a pity, you know, that's a strange thing to say. Wouldn't you rather have something golden in there?
No, no. I'm a reasonable man. I want to have fun and not work, but I don't want to have the luxury of it. In fact, I think that environment is the greatest luxury of all.
It's a shame that you're not in your element but you're young enough to be more adventurous.
As she said this, the beautiful Rainrich took out a mortar and dropped the medicinal herbs into it and scraped them out.
Once the herbs are milled, the liquid is added to the mortar and mixed in, squeezing out more extract.
Then the liquid glistened and a light green liquid was completed.
When it was put into a test tube, it was completed with a lid.
How about it? This is the foundation of alchemy, the 'potion'.
'How ... primitive ... I thought you had the skills to do it in an instant.
'Of course you can. But it takes up a lot of MP and if you don't understand how to dispense the medication, your performance will suffer or fail.
I see. Come to think of it, alchemy was an active skill.
'If you do it enough times, you should be able to do something with the same efficacy with the skill.
That said, the one handed to me was a small recovery potion.
'So it's a (small) beautiful Rainrich, too?'
You can call me old lady if you don't want to. It's not easy to do. You should try it for yourself.
The next thing he took out was an iron ore.
This one I put on the table and held up my hand.
'Alchemy.'
The iron ore is quickly transformed into chunks of iron and the remnants of stone as Rainrich chants, "There are three basic principles of smelting: decomposition, synthesis, and reconstruction.
The three basics of smelting are 'decomposition', 'synthesis' and 'reconstruction'. The rest is application.
Well this one is going to fly by, isn't it?
Yeah. Well, as far as decomposition is concerned, I think it can be done regardless of the accuracy. But if you're a low level person, you won't be able to decompose silver ore. You can start by breaking down the iron ore and separating it into iron and stone.
Hmmm.
If you can decompose silver ore, you'll be able to get silver?
I don't have an image of silver being that expensive, but I wonder how it would be in this world.
Well, this looks useful though. It wouldn't hurt to practice it.
I'm willing to do the hard work to make it easier. There should be.
But not you.
It's a good idea to start off with this, but it's also a good idea to learn how to make your own medicine and alchemy. You can even make your own accessories with the help of the 'workmanship'.
'Oh. That's a lot of challenge.
I know. Even at my age, I'm still going through a lot of trial and error.
"By the way, I want to show you how the old lady did it--
No. Knowledge is an asset, you know. Well, if I'm dying, I'm willing to disclose the information.
Latch. You've been rejected in a snarky way.
Even though it's a guild, you're going to let him do things his own way from a certain amount of information.
Anyway. You have to use the methods I taught you to prepare medicines and alchemy to raise your level. You'll be able to decompose blue steel and silver ore when you're at a higher level.
Okay. Let's just try it.
I like the fact that there's so much to explore and do.
When I buy a house someday, I might build my own workshop and devote a whole day to it.
I was filled with a sense of elation, just like when I played Dismountable.
You must make a reservation for the alchemy room at the reception desk if you want to do the alchemy. We are not allowed to do it in an ordinary house. By the way, it's 5,000 knolls a time. You can stay for as many hours as you want until it comes out. And I can lend you a mortar, but you have to pay for the bottles of potions. You can pay later because you're new here.
And it takes a lot.
Half of the allowance you get in a day is gone. I might as well take all the necessary precautions before I go for this one.
Or rather, if I pay it, I have zero possessions.
It's a good thing I got the materials from Hayato.....
Now we can earn some money, somehow.
And of course the cost of the bottle of potion will cost money, right?
But thank you so much for paying for it later!
We really don't have any money!
How much for this recovery potion, by the way?
If it's (small), it's 1000 knolls. By the way, it's about 300 to 500 knolls for (minor) and (minor).
I'll have to pour my energy and MP into this one and force myself to stay longer.
