71 Episode 71: Lost Herbs and Great Loss

When we got back, we were asking the sailor on the Goodluther to look into the herbs that Mr. Carm and the others had just collected.

People from seaside countries along the way asked me to sell the airship as a trade item, but I politely refused because I wasn't an empty island technology.

"Phew, there are quite a few herbs to sell, but they're still weak for eyeballs"

"Nooo, is that right..."

In the end none of the herbs I brought were decisive, and Mr. Carm and the others drooled to regret it.

If the country's upper echelons are not convinced, the trade itself may be suspended.

"This came..."

"Hmm, the trade with airships is fascinating..."

This is why I don't want anything, which subtly makes the air of negotiation heavier.

Hmm, all the herbs I've picked are the same as Mr. Carm's herbs...

Oh, but there was a herb that I didn't get to look into just one type.

But this isn't even such a rare herb.

Well, let's hear it for once.

And that was then.

"Captain Carm. Huh!

Several knights descend from the sky in a hurry.

"What is it!?"

Mr. Carm scolds his men for intruding on important negotiating venues.

"Also, sorry! And yet my men!

"Calm down! What happened to your men?"

Mr. Carm drinks a panicking knight and makes him explain what happened.

"Yes! While exploring Morijima, my men were attacked by demons and ripped off their arms!

"Hey, what is it!?"

Everyone on the spot fades into a sudden shocking report.

If you look, one knight accompanied by his companion was on his knees groaning.

Show me the wound.

Soon the sailor sees the knight's arm.

"The demon who ripped his arm off ran away, and we didn't have all sorts of drugs. We can only tie the wound and stop the blood..."

"This is not good. If you don't heal him soon, he'll bleed to death."

"Huh, can you fix your arm?!?"

The sailor shakes his neck to the side in the words of a knight worrying his companion.

"I don't think so. A potion that grows arms is like a legendary elixir. If I could at least get my arm back, I could have connected it in the finest potion, but which one of these herbs is here..."

"Oh, no..."

"Let's at least disinfect the wound and stop the blood with healing magic. That way only life will be saved."

"Come on, please"

To the words of the sailor, Mr. Carm asks for his remorse.

"Okay, let's do whatever we can..."

"Um..."

Yeah, I think it would be one shot if we used healing magic that would heal flesh defects better than sole.

I speak to the sailor, sorry to break into some strangely serious air. [M]

"What? Now it's a matter of fighting for a moment!?"

"Excuse me, I need a missing area... no, how about using this herb more than that?

That's when the idea behind my brain flashed.

Instead of fixing it with restorative magic, I was wondering if it would be a good trade eyeball if the injury was fully treated with a potion using medicinal herbs.

I take the medicinal herbs from the magic bag that have not yet been appraised and show them to the sailor.

"Mm? What the hell is this? It's a plant I've never seen, but is it a herb?

That? You don't know, Mr. Sailor?

"This is the Tecan grass that we often use to make high potions."

"... Tekan grass!? Is that about that Tekan grass that was lost in the great loss of herbs?!?"

Huh? Tecan grass lost herb?

I mean, you lost a lot of herbs. What!?

"Uh, what's with the massive loss of herbs?

"Don't you know the great loss!?"

I don't know.

"The massive loss of herbs is the sudden outbreak of an epidemic hundreds of years ago in which many plants withered. Some of the plants that died in the incident included rare herbs, which were named the Great Loss."

Heh, there was such a case.

"I have also been told that it has prevented many medicines from being formulated in the past and that many human lives and drug recipes have been lost"

Wow, it was a crack and a heavy case.

"Did Mr. Liliera know?

"Yeah, for once. When I was an adventurer in Hekiji, my senior herbalist taught me. You can sell drugs and herbs that have fallen dramatically due to a huge loss, so if you find them, they'll tell you to take them home."

Heh, yeah.

Because of what happened hundreds of years ago, or did Mr. Liliera seem to have no idea at first, and is it a level of fame among researchers?

"But it was normal in Morishima, wasn't it?

"Hey, what!?"

I'm surprised the sailor rounded his eyes.

"Oh well. Morishima is far above the ground, so you didn't suffer from the epidemic disease of great loss!

As far as it goes, if you ask me, maybe so.

There were ball rabbits on the empty island that we didn't see on the ground, and it's not strange to have plants that have survived all along on Morijima.

"Doctor..."

"Ha!? How about that?"

He was an excited sailor, but Mr. Carm called me back.

"Uh, no, um. Anyway, I said high potion, but can you make a high potion out of Tecan grass? Sure, it'll heal your health and lost blood, so it'll be great for treatment, but it'll take you a long time to make hyppotions that are more difficult to combine, right?

Huh? It was such a major high potion recipe in my last life, you really don't know?

And the hypothesis is more difficult to mix? That's funny.

I think a little grown up pharmacist's apprentice will be able to make it soon enough.

... Oh well. Did you lose a lot of recipes with the herbs in the big loss?

Then it wouldn't be strange if the recipe with Tecan grass was gone.

Hmm, the Warcraft Forest and the Inner Ocean are made, the sky continent is gone, or even the great loss of plants?

Oh, and there was something like Lost Magic and Lost Items, and there were all kinds of events going on while I was a little dead.

But I'm also concerned that there are cases in those cases where demons were involved.

Either way, now I have to explain how to make hyppotions.

"Well, if you mix this herb with the extracted air grass, you can make a hypoposition."

"Is that all you need to make it!? Meeg grass, ahad grass and baggy grass would be all you need to formulate your hyppotion? Or is Aer grass a cheap herb that you usually get?!?"

"Yeah, you can even make that recipe, but it's cheaper and faster with Tecan and Aer grass, right?

Oh, now that we're dealing with lost medicinal herbs, doesn't that mean it's cheap?

I don't have time for this, and I think I should actually make it work.

"Now I'm going to actually make it up to you, so check out what you've done. Mr. Carm, may I have a bunch of air grass there?

I am pointing to the Aer grass that Mr. Carm and the others brought as a product of the trade.

"Yeah, yeah, I don't mind. Go ahead."

I received the air grass from Mr. Carm, and I will remove the table for preparation from the magic bag and the two containers for the extraction of the medicine.

And put Tecan grass and Aer grass in it, respectively.

"Originally I would formulate each ingredient after steaming, but this time it takes time, so it's magical and easy to make."

"Ma, magically!?"

I activate the magic of drug extraction when I lay my hands on each herb in the container for extraction.

"Component Separate!

Then the medicinal herbs shrivel as they appear, and the medicinal solution stains out of the incision when collected and fills the container.

"Hey, what's this magic?!?"

The sailor is surprised for some reason, even though it's just a drug effect extraction magic.

"It's just medicine extraction magic."

"Magic to take out the drug effect!? I've never seen such magic!?"

That? That can't be right.

I think it's magic that's normally taught if you apprentice to a pharmacist.

"This is a magic developed to extract medicinal ingredients of herbs that require delicate handling without breaking them. If you're a very capable pharmacist, I think you normally know magic, don't you?

"Oh, did such magic exist...? But where the hell did you do that magic...?

Hmm, maybe the sailor didn't learn the magic of drug effect extraction from his master?

But I wonder if that's happening?

I think drug effect extraction magic is a must have magic if you're a medical professional?

Me? I learned it from my master in previous generations.

If you're going to be a sage, you've been taught to be able to make the highest potion.

"And, we have also finished extracting the ingredients, so we will do the conditioning"

That said, if it's about high potion, it's enough to adjust the amount and mix the ingredients.

When I pour the liquid into the measuring cup, I gently mix the liquid with a crystal bar for stirring.

Then the colors of the two medicinal solutions mixed slightly, replacing them with beautiful green.

"High potion complete."

I show everyone the hypothesis I can make.

"Ha, the high potion is so easy..."

The sailor groans with his mouth wide open.

What the hell kind of trouble was the sailor making for this?

Yeah, but right. The sailor makes medicine in a rocking ship, so maybe it's hard for him to do that.

On board off land, and given the long journey, you'll need to make it with only preserved herbs, so I guess it's more difficult for that matter.

So for being specialized in sailor's formulation techniques, on the contrary, are you oblivious to the normal way of making medicines?

Um, I'm gonna learn.

"Come on, let the knight drink."

"Oh, oh."

Mr. Carm, who received the hyppotion from me, drugged the knight who lost his arm.

"Ugh..."

Then the drugged knight groans and begins to suffer.

"Oh, hey!? Are you okay?!?"

The knights around me stuck me wondering if I was really glad they drank it.

"It's okay. Look closely at your people."

"" "" "" What?... What!? Yes!? "" ""

Surprisingly round your eyes, not only to the knights, but also to Mr. Carm and Mr. Byrne.

"Ugh, there's an arm growing that I should have lost...?

All right, well, that's a success.

"Ko, is this... the hell!?"

The sailor asks me, trembling with a crocodile.

"It's a high potion."

"Ha, high potion!? Ko, this, my arm, that the medicine my arm grows on is high potion!?"

Is that it? I don't think it's weird.

"Look, even normal wounds, where you get hurt, the meat will flourish and heal, right? High quality hypothesis works so strongly on natural healing that it regenerates the missing areas. Well, the point is, he grows his arms by the same procedure as his nails grow and his hair grow."

"" "" "The keta to be compared is too different!?" ""

Is that it? Why is everyone so surprised?

"I didn't know there was enough potion raw material to regenerate the lost flesh..."

"Oh well! Not because it's a high potion, but because it's a high potion of Tecan grass, you've got this kind of drug effect!

Huh?

"This is... this is a great high potion! It doesn't translate to the high potions currently available in the market! It's no exaggeration to say that this medicine, which can cure flesh defects, is a new potion beyond hypothesis already!

No, no, that's an exaggeration, no matter how much, right?

"So this herb...?

"Yeah, you could literally call it an eye-catching commodity in this trade!

"" "" Ooops!! ""

A voice of admiration rises from almost every human being on the spot.

"Good, now we have goods to trade..."

"Thanks! Thanks! Thanks to you, my people didn't have to lose their arms!

"Thank you very much from me too!

Mr. Carm and the others say thank you to me from the two joys of making a trade product and healing his fellow wounds completely.

By the way.

Only the sailor spoke to me with a serious face, delighted that everyone had found a product that would be the highlight of the trade.

"What is it?

"Um, this is a very important favor..."

What the hell do you want from me?

Could it still be something wrong?

"Teach me the extraction magic just now!!"

What!? Magic, not herbs!?

"That magic is wonderful! With that magic, we can definitely extract more herbs in a short time! If you do, you will be able to make more medicines without wasting herbs due to extraction errors! Please! I want you to teach me that magic!

Um, it doesn't look like you're joking, and I was wondering if you're serious?

Plus, well, it's magic to extract the drug effect, and I guess it's okay because it can't be used for evil.

"Okay. Let me tell you something."

"Oh, thank you, master!

"Why Master!?"

We've had the same pattern before, right?!?

"Thanks to your master, there will be a revolution in the potion industry!

What happened to the potion industry?

In the end, the collapse made me master of the sailors, teaching them the magic of drug extraction until the departure of the Good Luther.
