Chapter 208:Welcome to the Abyssal Alchemy Workshop (1)

According to Charlotte's suggestion, Nora arranged for Jacob and Carl to stay at the small inn on Baka Street, 3rd Lane, where the daily accommodation fee was only 10 copper coins, cheaper and cleaner than the inn they stayed at last night.

She reminded little Carl to behave well and stay in the room to take care of his father. After coming out of the inn, she still felt somewhat incredulous.

As a half-elf, she had experienced a lot of discrimination since she was young. Her mother brought her to Calva, but the situation in Calva was not much better. After her mother passed away from illness, she almost starved to death because she couldn't find a job.

Over the years, she could only hear a little praise and recognition from Carl and Jacob, which gradually made her retreat and hide at home, unwilling to go out, only wanting to take care of their little family.

Although Jacob didn't earn much, he always protected her well. Their life was hard but also had some small happiness.

But this time, Jacob was seriously injured and could only rest in bed. They were still uncertain whether he could find a new job.

So when Charlotte extended an olive branch to her, she chose to step forward and make an effort to seize the opportunity.

If Jacob couldn't find a job for the time being, she would have to support this family, just as Jacob had done for her in the past decade.

She returned to the door of the clinic, took a deep breath, and knocked.

Kasha opened the door and smiled at Nora standing at the door, "You must be Miss Nora, right?"

Nora nodded and said somewhat timidly, "I'm looking for Dr. Charlotte."

"I'm Kasha. Come in. The master has gone out, but he told me that you were coming and asked you to wait in the clinic for a while." Kasha smiled and said, leading Nora into the clinic.

"Have a seat here for a while. The master will come back soon." Kasha poured her a glass of water and asked her to sit in a chair on the side.

"Thank you." Nora took the warm water and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Looking at the tall and elegant Kasha, a trace of envy flashed in Nora's eyes. Such a vibrant young girl was truly admirable, while her own life seemed to be spent in being despised.

Vivian came downstairs holding Anna and saw Nora sitting there holding a water cup. Her eyes lit up, "Is this Nora? The boss said that you are good at embroidery and can stitch little elves."

"Doctor, hello." Nora instinctively tightened her grip on the water cup. She knew that this petite orc girl, who also worked as a doctor in the clinic, had extraordinary medical skills, and she couldn't help feeling inferior.

"Hello Nora, sorry to keep you waiting." Charlotte put the package in his hands on the counter and smiled at her. "It seems like you're getting along well. This is your task for today at noon, consider it a small entrance test."

"What's this?" Nora looked puzzled at the package.

Charlotte opened the package, revealing a stack of paper, four stamps, a box of ink, a paper cutter, and a tub of glue.

"There are two hundred bottles of potions here. I need you to paste the appropriate labels on each bottle using this paper, cut them into equal-sized strips, stamp them with these four seals, and finally glue them onto the corresponding bottles." Charlotte looked at Nora and said, "Do you understand?"

Nora glanced at the four boxes of potions nearby, then looked at the various items in the package, nodding slightly, "I understand, but could you please let me know what each of these four boxes contains so that I don't paste the wrong labels?"

"This is a basic hemostatic potion, this is a basic cleansing potion..." Charlotte wrote down the names of the potions on a wooden box.

"Don't worry, Nora, we'll help you," Vivian said with a smile.

"Yeah." Kasha nodded as well.

But Nora gently but firmly shook her head and said, "No, thank you for your kindness, but this is my job and test. I need to do it myself."

After speaking, Nora picked up the package on the counter and dragged a box of potions to a nearby small table. She took out a bottle, picked up a piece of paper, and began to measure the appropriate width, length, and folding times to quickly cut it.

Charlotte looked at Nora with great admiration. This woman, who appeared gentle and weak, was surprisingly alert and independent. And judging by her appearance, she seemed to be quite skilled at work.

"Don't disturb her work, I'll go out for a while and come back later." Charlotte and Vivian instructed, and then he went upstairs to get something and left again.

On his previous trip, he handed over the construction drawings to the construction team he had previously contacted, discussed some details that were not shown on the drawings with the dwarf foreman, and paid an advance payment of 100,000 coins, allowing the construction team to start work today.

Because Charlotte's requirements were too complex, the foreman estimated that the budget might increase to 30 gold coins, and it might not be easy to afford.

Charlotte had to bring Diana out as a guarantor to reassure the foreman. As long as the work was done well, money was not a problem. He just had to gather 30 gold coins within these six days.

With today's business income and the previous advance payment of 1 gold coin, he had 205,623 copper coins in his hands, so the cost of the factory building was not a big issue.

But now he had to go out again to find Guy to custom-make the alchemy furnace and roller skates, which would be another significant expenditure.
