Even Though I was the Real Saint, I was Exiled—Which Means my Country is Over (WN)
66. Make holy water.
The superpotion sold quickly.
The next day.
I was summoned again by Mr. Robert and headed to the Magic Lab.
"I have news for you about the superpotion."
Robert starts talking in a heavy atmosphere.
That one.
This atmosphere... what do you mean?
You didn't sell at all, did you?
I can't help it... because it's so expensive. No matter how good it is as a potion, it is rare.
"Robert, I'm fine. I don't care if it doesn't sell."
Smile.
This smile must have said, "I'm glad it didn't get too big! peace of mind."
Yes?
But Robert looked at me and asked me this question.
"What are you saying?
Huh?
Robert told her that he had wiped out the heavy air he was wearing and softened his expression.
"Super Potion sold out!
... sold out?
"Well, you did sell five extra potions, right?
"That's right. How many merchants wanted superpotions? I talked to a trusted merchant."
"As a result, they sold out?
"Yes"
Eh, uh!
Build a house with super potion money! I mean, five houses!
The amount has grown too large for me to feel the same!
"Oh, really!?
"It's true. Looks like it's worth more than we thought. We have to reconsider the price....."
Mr Robert said he had bumps.
I can't believe what he says.
But if you think about it, I didn't sell it directly to the Adventurer. Is that possible?
"Hey, if you're a merchant, maybe there's a route to nobility... are the merchants going to sell there?
"It may be there, but I hear it's not. They basically sell it to famous adventurer parties and guilds."
"Ugh, can you sell it? If you were an adventurer, there would be healers... and there wouldn't be much demand?
"Of course, I thought so too, so it was the price I said yesterday. But things seem a little different now, and demand for potions is originally on the rise."
"What happened?
When asked, Robert starts talking.
"Did you know there was a new dungeon in Lynch Giham's territory?
"Yes, I heard that Nigel has been busy working here recently... I hear it is located near the village of the spirits....."
"That's right."
Dungeons are places where there are many monsters, and inside they are like mazes or traps.
It's very dangerous.
On the other hand, it is not always a disadvantage to be able to collect valuable monster materials or discover treasures.
There are two ways such dungeons can occur.
One is that monsters gather for some reason and become dungeons little by little.
The other thing happens suddenly in a place where nothing happens one day.
There are theories about the latter, but dungeons are thought to be a kind of creature... I don't know the details either.
"So there's a dungeon and more adventurers going there, so there's more demand for nature and potions?
"Yes, and... apparently there are a lot of undead monsters in the dungeon."
"It's troublesome....."
"Did you know?"
"Well, I'm a healer, too."
Undead monsters are skeletons with bones all over their bodies, for example. Examples include Death Master, who hunts the souls of living beings. These monsters are often powerful in the first place.
But the most embarrassing of them is that they don't accept ordinary attacks.
They say we need to use sacred magic and the weapons that gave them to defeat them.
Those who can use such things become a small part of the adventurers, so I've heard stories about them avoiding undead monsters...
"Looks like you're struggling with the dungeon strategy. That's why you can't just leave the dungeon behind. If left unattended, there may be too many monsters in the dungeon to get into the nearby city."
That's right.
I see.
It is said that there are effective means to defeat undead monsters without sacred attribute magic or weapons.
That's what potions are for.
Rather than living beings, potions seem to be natural enemies to those close to the dead.
But after all, compared to magic and weapons, the effects have fallen dramatically, and it seems like it can only be relaxed...
"Ah."
So I can think of one thing.
"Can you make Holy Water with Spirit Water?"
"Holy water...? It's a fictional item that often appears in that adventure novel."
"That's right. Holy Class Magic water. With this, I think anyone can easily defeat an undead monster. I think it's worth a try, but what do you think?
"Indeed, if it can be mass produced, the strategy of the dungeon will go a long way. The neighboring city lords will also be delighted. Making holy water is also the dream (romance) of our magical researchers. But...."
Mr Robert looks reluctant.
From that face, it seems to show how unrealistic holy water making is.
But at this time, I already had the blueprint of holy water in mind.
Mm-hmm.
I think I can do this.
"Give it a try."
I cast magic on the remaining Spirit Water.
Then the water glowed to a pale green color.
"I tried to impart Holy Attribute Magic. How about that?
"It's not that easy... Oh, my God!
Robert picks up a beaker with a green liquid and widens his eyes.
"Hmm, you're really getting Holy Attribute Magic!? This will also help undead monsters!
"That's why I told you. It's worth a try."
Of course, this is just a prototype.
But with this state of affairs, we can mass produce holy water and realize the story I imagine.
"Oh, I'll help you! This is about to revolutionize...!
"Please."
Mr Robert grabbed my hand with both hands.
◆ ◆
A few days later.
Successfully developed the holy water, we sold it just like the superpotion.
Then....
"It's a huge success!
Mr. Robert speaks loudly in the director's office.
Unusual for him, his nose is rough and he seems a little excited.
"That's why I told you.
"Ha, yes...! At first I was half-crustrated, but I can't believe I could really make holy water! What the hell are you...!
"Yes, I'm just a healer. Everywhere....."
"Again and again, there is no healer like you!
Robert concludes.
Apparently, the holy water we developed was sold to the adventurers to fly and was called the Undead Hunting Revolution.
There were dramatically fewer people who went out to the dungeon and came home injured, and we were greatly appreciated.
After that.
I heard that the dungeon strategy went smoothly and that it was only a matter of time before it could be broken.
