Episode 138: How to Make an Easy Poisoning Potion
"Um, the land of corrosion just now..."
"Shall I tell you more in the back for now? Come on, come on, come here."
"Wow!?"
It was me that the receptionist tried to ask about the word corrosive earth that she had spoken of, but she was pushed gooey on her back and forced into the back of her guild, and it wasn't the other way around.
"Don't push because you can walk on your own!
"Come on, come on, come on! Let's talk about universal poisoning ASAP!
But the receptionist keeps pushing his back without lending his ear to this story.
And then there's the junior all-purpose poison.
"Ha, ha, that sounds like a lot of fun, big guy."
It was the guild chief who summed up this Adventurer's Guild in the King's Capital who was baffled by the receptionist's push to speak to me.
"I hear you've done something terrible again. Now you're telling me it's a universal poison?
"It's a junior all-purpose poison, Guild Leader"
I haven't done anything else yet.
"Even lower levels are omnipotent. Where the hell did you get that knowledge?"
Even so, the Guild Commander doesn't show up to ask deep things.
For adventurers, it's a shame to explore an individual's past.
"Come on, this way, please"
The room shown was bigger and more luxurious than the bargaining room you put in from the guild's hall.
The walls are solid, and they're probably thick so that you can't hear them when you stand up to hear them.
"This room is private for special business discussions. It's a room that's important to the Alliance when it comes to secrecy requests from noble people, or when you can't let anyone else hear it like this one."
"Haha... it's not even like you're going to show me to such an amazing room."
"It's outrageous! Mr. Rex's knowledge of potions is invaluable! That is the valuable information without the magical knowledge to be unearthed from the depths of ancient ruins!
Oh, it's not that big of a deal.
"Bye, Mr. Rex! Just now, but how do you prepare for universal poison elimination!
"Wow, I get it. So I'm actually going to explain it to you as you formulate the herbs."
I take the herbs and tools I need to blend the inferior all-purpose poison out of my magic bag.
"Hmm, surely the material itself is nothing special. Even lower-ranked adventurers will be able to gather this!
The receptionist has just taken a note of what she needs.
Good, you don't have to tell me there's some ingredients you can't get around here.
"By the way, on second thought, shouldn't I be out of my seat, too?
And I'm telling you that Mr. Liliera should leave the room.
"It doesn't matter. Mr. Liliera is with the party."
"Is it good...?
"So here we go."
When I take the tools, the receptionist slowly begins to make it easier for me to take notes.
"I'll fry this herb first."
"Hmm."
"Soak the next one of these herbs in warm water and remove just before the color of the leaves turns brown. This separates the two medicines into warm water and herbs."
"You had that way of conditioning it!
"So, I'll broil this herb in a pan and fly the moisture."
"It's all in a different procedure. Get ready down there."
"So, mix this one with this and let it sleep in the dark until it's cold. And this way... so mix him up just now..."
And put all the herbs in a bottle, I declare.
"This completes the lower all-purpose poison elimination!
"Morning! Are you done yet!? Isn't it too soon!?"
Soon the lower all-purpose poisoning is complete, and the receptionist gives a surprise voice.
"The freshness of this formula is important. That's why I'm busy working on it as soon as I can make it faster than a regular potion."
"Yes, indeed. Once you start making it, you're going to be stuck with the formulation of this potion all the time. When mass-producing in a guild, you should set up a task force specializing in this potion."
Yeah, that would be good.
"But then, you can surely hold the position of chief dedicated to the potion squad... Kufu, no doubt a chance to be born"
... Hmm, let's not ask about that now.
There's nothing good about being involved in the birth dispute.
"Whatever, thank you, Mr. Rex! Now even a poor party with no money can always have a poison cleaner just in case!
And the receptionist who suddenly came back to reality said that.
"Is that it? Aren't you going to set lower all-purpose poisoning at higher prices?
You did say that earlier, didn't you?
Aren't you going to buy a poor party without money?
"I do set the price at higher, but the reason they don't want to spend money on poisoning is because there are so many types of poison. So I'm curious if I can buy at least one drug that works for every poison, and I can strongly recommend at least one as our guild."
If it can be used for any poison as long as it's done, you can buy it in a normal potion mood.
"Now as for the price and the portion to Mr. Rex, the general price range for poisoning is that the cheaper stuff starts with 30 silver coins, so we consider this one to be 70 silver coins considering the cost of materials"
"Is it that expensive to sell!?"
Yeah!? It was about 60 copper coins in my last life!?
"Almost double."
At the same time, Liliera didn't look too surprised.
Is Mr. Liliera convinced of this price?
"Even if it's too expensive, buyers will butt in, and if it's any cheaper, other poisoning sales will drop dramatically. Taking into account also the opinion of Mr Rex, who wants to spread it to the world, this would be a reasonable price around here. I think it's really twice as cheap because it pays for purchasing materials and it works for multiple poisons."
Well, we've all been collecting and making our own materials in previous generations, but if it's a guild, we'll have to consider the commission for the purchase.
"So, it's your income to Mr. Rex, but how about seven silver coins per bottle by saying you'll pay 10% of the sales? Can we still raise the unit price of the potion now?
"Yes, no! Don't raise the price because it's only for everyone's safety!
"Okay. Then the price is set at 70 silver coins and the payment to Mr. Rex is set at 7 silver coins. Sign this contract."
To sum up the contract the receptionist gave me, it felt like teaching the Adventurer's Guild a recipe for medicine would pay me part of the sale.
"... no"
After I finish writing my autograph, I give the receptionist the contract.
"Yes, we have now completed the contract for the Lower Universal Poisoning Potion. Thank you for your help, S-Rank Adventurer Rex."
Thus, the potion consignment contract with the Adventurer Guild was successfully completed...... I'm kind of tired.
I didn't expect you to sign an exaggerated contract so far with just a junior all-purpose poisoning.
Well, but the intrusion is a lower all-purpose poisoning, and it won't be a big income.
◆ Receptionist ◆
That was just after Mr. Rex got home from finishing his junior all-purpose poisoning contract.
"Ha, my God!
I thought the door opened rampantly, and the bloody pair jumped into the guild.
Surely these people are Mr. Lott and Mr. Gene, D-rank adventurers.
Skilled, not that it's a promising combination for the future.
Anyway, first aid first, right?
We will rise from the reception for their treatment.
Did the request fail? Or were you in some kind of trouble?
But the moment we stood up to take care of them, Mr. Lott said:
"My buddy got bit by an Inferno Spider!! Does anyone have an antidote?!?"
"" "Inferno Spider!?" "
The moment I heard that name, the whole guild became noisy.
That too, when it comes to Inferno Spider, is a powerful demon of the B rank.
Attacks with spider yarn emitted from giants, some as big as dogs, are very troublesome, but most of all the horrible is the burning poison dripping from their fangs.
What is eroded by this poison dies over the course of a few days, being attacked by suffering as if his whole body were to be burned with flames.
"Dude, even Inferno Spider!? He's the one who lives in the depths over there, isn't he?!? Why didn't you have poison ready to go to that place?!?"
"I'm not going! I was working in the west woods near Wangdu and they attacked me! At first I thought it was a regular Giant Spider, but if I didn't think it was because my poisoned buddies drink poison and it doesn't work, I was an Inferno Spider!
"Inferno Spider in the West Forest!? Such an idiot!?"
"Does anyone have more medicine than that!? I'll give you money!
……
We can't help but be silent.
The materials you use to detoxify Inferno Spider are valuable, so you need to collect them yourself or pay a lot of money to prepare them for you to formulate.
"No, it's not in the Alliance's inventory!
"I asked Wang Du's pharmacist, and he said it would take three days to formulate it now!
"Then you won't make it! It's already been a day from the West Forest!
Yes, and even more troublesome, poison removal for inferno spiders doesn't last long.
So it was fundamental to leave immediately after the drug was finished and return before the drug was out of use, but what an unfortunate thing to encounter in a place you couldn't possibly encounter.
"Guaaaaa!!"
"Hold on, Gene!
There's nothing more we can do, and we can all just watch...
"Oh, yeah! That one!"
I inadvertently offer Mr. Lot the junior all-purpose poison that I had in my hand, even if I could no longer be there to watch Mr. Suffering Gene.
"What's this?
"This is an inferior all-purpose poisoning. It's not a poisoning exclusively for Inferno Spiders, but it could be enough to relieve the pain......"
Even so, Mr. Rex also said that this medicine only works on weak poisons.
I don't think I can counteract the poison of the B-rank Inferno Spider, but it would still be better than none.
And if you're lucky, you might be able to slow the poison down.
I know I'm hoping for convenience, but I still can't help but pray.
"Lower level?... No, it helps. I'll make sure to pay for it later. Hey, Gene! Medicine! This is gonna help! Here, drink!!"
"Ugh...... Goku"
Mr. Lott forcefully gives Mr. Jean a lower all-purpose poisoning.
Oh, God, please. May Mr. Rex's lower all-purpose poisoning work at all!
"Ugh..."
"What do you say?
……
Then suddenly Mr. Gene's groaning stopped.
It worked... did it?
"Hey, what's up, Gene!?"
Mr. Lott suddenly stops saying anything. He speaks out worried to Mr. Gene.
Could the pills not have made it...
"Jeez!!"
When Mr. Lott raised his sad voice, Mr. Gene's mouth moved slowly.
"bitter...... gone"
"" Huh?
If you look at it, Mr. Gene, who suffered until earlier, is up on his own feet.
Redness was beginning to return to his face, which was greasy and pale from his whole body, giving him a more refreshing look than he thought he was dying until a short while ago.
"It's no longer painful at all!
What's more, Mr. Jean started moving his body to see how he was doing!
"Whoa, it was painful for my whole body to burn earlier, and now it's not painful at all! On the contrary, I feel lighter than before I was poisoned!
"What!? What do you mean?!?"
"Ma, are you serious?!?"
Not only me, but Mr. Lott is also circling his eyes saying that he cannot believe what is happening in front of him.
"Whoa! Seriously, too! It's like all the bad things in your body have disappeared!
"Uh-oh! Good for you Gene!!"
"Ouch! You got me worried, buddy!
The two of them have Gabba and a hug and are happy to recover.
"Oh, I'm glad I don't know what it is."
"Oh, I wondered what would happen for a while."
"Good for you guys"
With Mr. Gene recovering, the other adventurers in the guild congratulate him on his recovery.
That's a very moving sight...
"Nevertheless, I'm surprised you really had Inferno Spider poisoning"
"What!? Oh, the..."
No, I'm not...
"Oh, that was really helpful! Let me pay for the poison! How much?"
Duh, what shall we do... this situation.
"... uh, it's 70 silver coins"
I decided to give up and answer honestly.
""... what?
The two of you will lift your necks and raise your voices.
Yeah, that's how you react, isn't it?
"No, no, there won't be a sole. It's poison from a B-rank demon, isn't it? There's no way you're going to need 70 silver coins, is there?
"That's right, you don't have to shy away from us, just tell me the proper price. If Inferno Spider's poison, can you mistake it for gold? That hurts a lot in my wallet, but it's still a moneymaker."
I know you're both serious, but I'm serious about this one, too.
"Uh, this medicine really sells 70 silver coins."
"That's why there's no way."
"It's true. As I said earlier, this drug is a junior all-purpose poison, and a weak poison is a poison that works for any poison. I don't see why that worked on Inferno Spider's poison..."
"Lower all-purpose poisoning? You've never heard of it, have you?
"What kind of medicine works on any poison in the first place?
"But Mr. Gene is actually healing..."
……
The Genes look at each other with an indescribable look on their faces.
"Well, are you sure that the drug cured Gene?
"Yes, definitely. I've seen this medicine from the point where it was formulated, but the herbs used to poison inferno spiders were not used."
"Is that... 70 silver coins?
"Yes, I have a contract to sell at that price..."
……
When I thought Mr. Jean and the others were staring at my face, the two of us turned to each other again and nodded broadly at each other.
"" That medicine! Can you sell me more!? "
"Huh? Oh, yes. The production of the medicine has been entrusted to the Alliance, but since the herbs are not ready yet, the sale is scheduled for the day after tomorrow."
"" Okay, I bought it. Ahhh!! Aside from this one, ask for 5!
So excited Mr. Gene forced me to hold 4 gold coins and 20 silver coins in my hand.
"Hey, I can still do my meds..."
"You guys are cheating! We'll buy it, too! Treat Inferno Spider-Class Poisons If you're poisoned, no matter how much you have, you'll have no trouble! Sell me 10!
"Sell it to us, too!
"Aww, uh..."
Where did the funeral-like air go until just now, and the battle for lower all-purpose poisoning by the enlivened adventurers quickly began.
"Olah! Wait in front! Don't make a scene in the guild!
The disturbance is heated up by the fact that even the Alliance Commander heard about the disturbance.
At the end of the day, he even came to the gendarmerie, where he heard trouble, and the guild was to be wrapped up in unprecedented hustle and bustle...
But I can't believe Inferno Spider is going out into the West Forest...
What the hell is going on in this country?
