24. About Potions (8/23/2019)

"And you made a lot of money at once, didn't you?

and Elena looked at this one with a slight bitter laugh.

"But the others make more money, don't they?

"That may depend on people, but if you divide it by one head, it's not that much, is it? Besides, depending on pre crusade preparations and post-crusade equipment inspections, it could cost a lot of money and be about a tenth of what Mr. Lena received. Besides, that request doesn't always end in a day."

Well, that could cost a lot of money if you say so. But what do you do to prepare? I remembered what it was when I thought.

"Mr. Elena, don't you know where they sell potions?

"Is that a potion? They sell it in guilds, don't they?... Could you not have known?

Huh? What's that? Hatsune, what is it?

"Haven't you heard about that?

And to my slight dissatisfaction, Elena has bowed her head to apologize.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that."

I was just a little dissapointed and said that, but I felt kind of bad that Elena seemed so sorry.

"... well, what more potions are sold in the guild than that?

"The Alliance sells three ranks"

"Huh? Is there a rank in the potion?

"Yes. For once, it's sold in five stages, but basically, it only goes out to E to C. These are the three types that we deal with in guilds."

"What's better than that?

"There are a limited number of people who can make it. But there's no one nearby who can make A-rank potions."

"Really?

"Yes."

Isn't the A-rank potion around here? Even if it did, it would seem very expensive. In the meantime, I decided to ask for the price of the potion I was handling in my guild.

"How much is each potion?

"One silver coin, five silver coins and one gold coin are sold in the Alliance from below"

"How effective is it?

"At the bottom, the hemostasis effect, next, the hemostasis and regeneration promotion effect, then, if it's about a few centimeters deep, the hemostasis stops and the skin slowly regenerates"

"I see.... then I'll have C1 and D2"

"Okay. One moment please."

That said, Mr. Elena disappeared into the back of the room. Then a while later I came back with something like a bottle.

"This will be that potion"

I was given three bottles of liquid, one of which was dark green and otherwise green.

"This green is D-ranked and dark green is C-ranked potion. There will be two gold coins in total."

I gave two gold coins to Mr. Elena to receive the potion. With this, if you get hurt, can you do about a first aid? Still, how do you make this potion? I wish I could make the potion I was allowed to use in front of the gates stuffing myself. It's probably a C-rank potion, so it's hard to make. With that in mind, I asked Elena.

"Mr. Elena, how are potions made?

"Is that how you make potions? If that's how it's made public."

Elena wrote a sarcasm on the paper and gave it to me when she said so. What was written there was the necessary ingredients and procedures. I wondered if I could really take something like this because I didn't really think I could be taught how to make potions if I asked in a light mood.

"Are you sure you want this?

"Yes, because I teach everyone how to make this"

"... for making it this way. How much is the rank of the potion?

"I hear it's good and C-rank. More than that, I think I'll only have enough to be a pharmacist's apprentice and be taught. If you study it, you might be able to make it up there, but I think it's hard to make it without teaching."

With a little surprise that I can make it to the C-rank, is it okay to publish something like that to the public?

"Doesn't releasing that information affect the people who were making potions?

"That's no problem. It seems that there are a lot of cluttered steps in the recipes that we publish that don't contain details about, so it's not easy to do high-ranking potions," he said.

I only wrote the procedure of what I would do when I was told that, and I didn't know how much time I would do that work.

"I see. So does that mean there aren't that many people who make it?

"That's not true, but about the lowest ranked potion, so to some extent, it's helpful," he said.

I see, is it helpful for once that you are only making a public announcement? Then maybe we should try making potions? Maybe we can make something of high rank. Would that save you some money? And that's what I thought.
