106 104 Eugene

We were on the third floor of the Adventurers Guild when we received the price for the material.

When you ask me to introduce you to an alchemist at the reception, what a dedicated alchemist there is for the Barbora Adventurer Guild. He said he was pretty good at it, and I just wanted to see him.

Concon

Elf's sister (50), the guide, knocks on one door. Sounds like a lot of production facilities around here. At the door is "Eugene Laboratory".

"Go ahead -"

"Excuse me."

Inside was a magnificent man with long, all-backed, gray-haired hair stretched all the way to his back, wearing a loose robe. Round glasses that give a soft smile, intelligent image. I'm thin, but are you tall there?

You're just a little changed in your eyes. The white eye area is black and the black eye area is green. And then there's something growing around the hairline. Tactile?

"Dr. Eugene. This girl wants to talk to you."

"Heh? Sounds a lot cute lady, but are you an adventurer?

"Mm. Fran the Rank D Adventurer"

"Rank D? Oh, wow."

A half-worm man. I think it's a worm version of the Beast Man. Besides, half. I guess the eyes and tactile sensations are a trait as a species. But if this is in the half, does a normal bug man look more like a bug? You're a little intrigued.

Besides, it seems true to say you're handsome. It's alchemy. Practicing is like the best skill in alchemy. The title also shows that he is a famous alchemist. And then you're personable.

"Again. I'm Eugene. I'm a dedicated alchemist for the Adventurer Alliance."

"You're not in the Alchemy Guild?

"Ha. Yes, it is. I used to belong to you, but take responsibility for your apprentice's scandal. That's where the Adventurers Guild picked me up."

"But Dr. Eugene wasn't bad at all, was he? The difficulty of being responsible for the scandal of an already independent apprentice is a good place."

"Still, I'm pretty sure he worked evil and used the technology I taught him."

"Still, I think deportation is too much"

"Doesn't a teacher get into an Adventurer's Guild and get along poorly with an Alchemy Guild?

Fran's questions are good too. If the person you turned into exile was picked up lightly by another organization, you wouldn't feel good.

"I did, didn't I? Until the Alliance Master of Alchemy replaced him, he was routinely harassed."

"Isn't that until five years ago, too? Now the Alliance Master is a moderate man."

"But some people still say they don't like it or something, right? Some alchemists are hostile to adventurers."

Does it even affect the alliance?

"So, teachers don't hate adventurers?

If you don't get along with the Alchemy Guild, you'll find it hard to get the majority of the tools you need for your adventure. A grudge might be good for Eugene.

"I don't have that. Wouldn't there be a lot of adventurers who'd rather appreciate it?

"Why?"

"Thanks to the teacher's development of a backward alchemist, we are able to produce items independently in our guild. Thanks to that, we lost the Alchemy Alliance monopoly and there was a price competition. As a result, the price of various items dropped and it helped adventurers."

"Well, some alchemists still have that in their roots and complain,"

I see. I'm sorry about Dr. Eugene, but it's not bad for us. The Alchemy Guild is less likely to divulge information to the Alchemy Guild when it comes to appraising medicines that would have been taken by pirates. In some cases, I might be told to give it back. If you can keep it to yourself, that's better.

Well, I knew Dr. Eugene was an amazing alchemist and trusted in the guild. In the room where the woman left off, Dr. Eugene will recommend the chair again.

"Well, here you go before you listen to me."

"Mm-hmm. Thanks"

Is that tea? It's black and looks like oolong tea.

"Mmm."

Fran sips tea zucchingly. Fran is a cat tongue, so he can only drink a little bit at a time. You look like a cat there.

"Is that all right?

Eugene looked at Fran with a cup of tea wondering. I mean, what do you mean? No poison? But even if you do an appraisal, it's a regular tea called Obo Tea. I don't have a problem with Fran's condition either...

"No, I love it, because the first person to drink it is too bitter to blow out. Now I enjoy watching it. Is your daughter okay?

"Mm-hmm. Yum."

"I'm glad to hear that! I can't believe you know how good this tea is!

Is that some kind of assembly tea thing? I like people I like, but they say it doesn't suit anyone else.

"Bitter, but decently delicious"

"Yeah, yeah. That's right! I'm glad to have a comrade. Tea leaves?

"Absolutely."

When Fran nodded, Eugene brought a sachet with tea leaves. I'm in a good mood while I give it to you. You must be really happy to have someone who understands the taste of your favorite.

"Well, let me talk to you again."

"I want you to look at the pills"

"Hmm?"

"But I don't want anyone to know but my teacher if possible"

"That's okay. Actually, I often talk about this, but I'm proud that I've never divulged information about my counselor."

'Fran, this teacher is not lying. Looks trustworthy.'

"Mm-hmm. I want you to see this"

In the meantime, don't let the finest life potions, all-state anomaly recovery drugs, and advanced mana potions out here because I already know some effect and value. Let's take it out of the remaining items that don't seem obvious.

"Is this an advanced weapons repair drug? You have amazing things."

"I want to know the value of this"

"That's right... if I bought it at the store, I'd do about 200,000 gold"

It was higher than I thought.

"I'm sure the material is expensive, but it's very useful. With this, even adventure destinations can repair their protective gear, as well as demonic tools that are usually difficult to repair."

Is that right? I don't even know if I should normally bring it to a blacksmith if I try to fix a special magic item, for example. In some cases, special materials or skills may be required. If you can repair demon swords and magic props just by applying medication, maybe it can't be easier.

"So, what's this?

"You know what? Skill level pills? This is another rare medicine. The value of this... is about 300,000 golds. It's just that nobles want it. If you want a nobleman, you'll be fine for about 10 times."

Ten times? That means, three million? Huh? What's that rampant profit, even though it's 300,000 gold. But the aristocrats say they give their own children status-up drugs to dope, and if they think so, do many people want this drug?

"Now this. I have three"

"This is... awesome stuff again. No, it's really amazing."

It's my # 1 reaction today. Are you saying it's more awesome than over 300,000 skill level drugs?

"Do you know what an alchemy drug is?

"I don't."

"Well, as its name suggests, it's the medicine I use for alchemy. When mixed with alchemy, it improves effectiveness and quality. I think if you mix the finest alchemy pills in when creating a lower potion, it will be an advanced potion. I haven't seen it in a while either."

"So expensive?

"Hmm. About a million gold a bottle?

"Seriously?"

High! Plus, the effect is substandard. If you're going to be advanced in a lower potion, what happens if you mix it in with when you make the most advanced potion or something? Isn't that what you do with resuscitation pills?

3.5 million gold so far. I'm getting a little thrilled. I want to compliment myself for choosing that box.

"F, Fran. Let me show you something else. '

"Mm-hmm. So how about this?

The next thing I took out was a negative action reducing drug, which is also the one I want to know the most effective.

"Interesting. I've never seen the real thing either, like 300,000 gold a bottle"

"I want to know more about the effects. Especially if it can be used for inorganic objects and warcraft."

"I don't think there's a problem with Warcraft. I don't know about inorganics. I think I can use it."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Even the weapons repair pills earlier would have worked on the inorganic stuff, right? Magic pills are different than regular pills."

"I see. For example, the special abilities of this sword are strong, but I can't use them for a few days once. If I sprinkle this medicine, can I weaken that restriction?

"Hmm, you honestly don't get it. Only that it's possible..."

Well, it's a shame you didn't get certainty. However, it's likely to be the harvest. There are three of them, and would you like to experiment once? 300,000 Gold experiments, though.

"Well, what's next? I'm having fun, too."

"This"

"Hmm, attribute inversion drugs? This is a medium amount."

"? There's only one bottle"

"Usually you use it in drops."

The effect, as the name suggests, seems to be a drug that degenerates magic and inverts attributes. You think you can use fire attributes as water attributes, turn poisonous water into purifying water, or if you use them for cursing weapons, then you become a blessing weapon? That's funny.

"This amount would also invert a rather powerful curse. If it were poisonous water, I think the amount of small ponds could be inverted. The price is about 100,000 gold for one bottle. It's an amazing medicine, but there are only a few occasions to use it."

You mean a little cheap for less demand? No, I think it's cheap because my sense of money is mahi, but it's expensive enough.

"Right... well, why don't you experiment a little? If you'll let me use one drop, but"

Master?

'Wouldn't that be a drop or so? I'm interested in experimenting. "

"Mm-hmm. Okay."

"Well, wait a minute"

What Eugene came out with was a glass vial. Sounds like a beaker. Is it an alchemy appliance?

"This is just water, isn't it? Here, thus poisoning"

When Eugene clasps his hands, black liquid drips from it into the beaker. Looks like he used the poison creation of his skills.

"Now this bottle has become a fiercely poisonous water. Now you should check."

"What's this?

"These are glasses that have an appraisal effect. It's the equivalent of one level."

Uh, appraisal glasses? Interesting. I checked on the appraisal, too, and it's definitely poisonous water.

"Confirmed"

"Here, if you drop one of these attribute inverters,"

"Ooh. The poisonous water turned into healing water."

"You're amazing. The poison is completely gone. Now you want to make some tea."

"? You make tea with this water?

"Oh, it's delicious, isn't it?

"Delicious?"

"Oh, you don't know? There's a part of the human tongue that feels magical. That's why I taste warcraft meat, but it's the same with magic water. Making tea with magical water or soup makes a lot of difference. Would you like a drink?

"Mmm."

"Well, wait a minute"

Three minutes later, an obo tea is placed before the franc. Doesn't look the same......

"! Yummy"

"Right!"

Fran seemed surprisingly different in flavor.

"Is it that good?

(Not at all. very delicious)

Besides, as the name suggests, it seems to heal your health and easy state abnormalities. If I put this healing water up for sale, wouldn't it be more popular? When I asked him that, it was difficult to make the attribute inversion drugs, and he couldn't make a lot of them.

"If it feels magical and delicious, why don't you put some magic into cooking? Any dish will be delicious."

I see. That's right. I feel a little sloppy though.

"No, you can't do that. There's also a variety of magic powers, and if it's not the magic that the ingredients originally possess, it's rather unpleasant. If you're going to use magical water as one of the ingredients, I don't think it's possible to put magic into the dishes you can cook and make them delicious."

"Too bad"

"Besides, it's not good to have too much magic"

"Really?

"Oh, if you're eating too much magic, one of these days they're going to go after just the magic stimulus, and they're not sure about the other flavors"

Even humans can't get enough if they're not spicy, sugar on everything, and there's a guy with a strange taste. Is it the same with magic?

"For example, the Demon Nation is inherently highly magical and has a strong ability to feel magic. They seem to prefer a highly magical meal. But I hear the other flavors are very different from ours because they keep eating magical meals from an early age. I mean, they don't care about anything else as long as it's magical. I've had an acquaintance of the Kamashi Demons behave like a handcook, but you saw hell by the time you finished eating."

Really? I have to watch out for Fran's meal, too. Let's not rely on magic, but think about it as one of the hidden flavors.

"Still, you can't make an appraisal"

With that said, it was. Why not?

"I have a secret about the ingredients. Originally, special chemicals with appraisal disruptive effects were found in materials. Because of this, the finished product is also harder to appraise. I only know my name, too. If the appraisal level was low, wouldn't you even know the name? I usually write my name on the bottle so it doesn't get mixed up. This doesn't have it. I wonder where it was made?

The last one sounds like a solitaire, but do you still care where it came from?

"This is next"

"The source of the demon soul? That sounds like an interesting tweak."

"What do you use it for? I don't see anything in there."

"Sure, it's invisible, but you can think of something magical in it. It's used to make artificial demon stones."

"Artificial Demon Stone?

"I use it to make demons. This is what makes the Demon Stone so great. Well, it's invisible. Skills and other adjustments have been made...... The fact that the appraisal is hard is going to be a pretty powerful demon stone."

"Worth it?

"Um, at least 50,000. Up to a million."

That's a lot of money. Well, it's kind of obscure. Does that mean the value depends on the other person? This is going to be fattening storage for a while.

"This is the end"

The last thing I put out was that one that was going to be the most controversial.

"Well, that's... what a thing to have"

"This sucks?

"Oh, that's pretty dangerous. Look, don't ever drop me, okay?

The look on Eugene's face I've been able to afford has changed. Pale face. I guess that means the finest mixed poison that Fran took out is a pretty dangerous drug.

"I haven't seen this in a while either"

"How much is it worth?

"No, this isn't like a price on it. It's too dangerous, and if you buy or sell it normally, it could even touch the law."

"So much?"

"Right...... a criminal organization or a military organization would normally give you about a million gold. I just made it for the Threat B dragon crusade about 20 years ago."

"How powerful?

"100 kills per drop. I wonder if I could kill about 2,000 people with that little bottle. Even that small amount of Threat D Warcraft would surely defeat it. Even if you can't defeat them, you can combine multiple state anomalies to take away combat power."

Come on, it was more dangerous than I thought. Can I have this? Eugene is staring at the bottle with a difficult face.

"I can't force you, but I want you to let me buy it out if it's possible. Honestly, it's too dangerous for that to exist without anyone knowing. 200,000 gold is going to come out"

"Okay."

Actually, this is a subdivision of the poison magic of Ursi and the poison that was in the bottle, using my attention. If you stop time with space-time magic, the danger is minimal. Well, we can only use the technique of stopping object time for about 5 seconds, so we rushed the mess.

Thinking about being forced to take it up, I kept it in small pieces for you to appraise.

"Nevertheless, I didn't know there was an alchemist who could make it... Where did you get this?

Maybe I should tell you this.

"Fran, give him the box."

"Mm-hmm. This"

"This is the Alchemy Guild's transport box."

"I got it at Pirate Ajit. All the pills were in it."

"No way! No, but can some alchemy guilds make it? But..."

It's starting to bother me.

"What's up?

"No, I'm sorry. I have some doubts."

"Doubt?"

"You are an adventurer, as well as a discoverer. Can I talk to you? Normally, if we lost so many valuable and dangerous drugs, it would be quite a case. You should definitely be contacting the Adventurer Guild or something, and you should bring it back as a request."

"Without it?

"Oh. You didn't ask. It could even be a national treason if it is misplaced, such as silencing about the loss of the finest mixed poison. Where did you plan to use this medicine in the first place? We need to contact the Alchemy Guild."

I don't mind that, but I want you to keep your mouth shut about us.

"That's irrespective. I swear I won't give you Fran's name."

You're not lying. Then there's no choice. If I tell you to stop here, we could get suspicious. Let's sell you a favor here.

"Okay."

"Thank you. Also, ask me. Mostly because I'm in this room. I'll make you some tea."

"Mmm."

I'm interested in alchemy, and I'd love to hear from you again.
