Parallel World Pharmacy

Chapter 4: 15: To the Truth About the Stone of the Wise

After dinner one day at the de Medicis family.

As Farma was examining the case of the patient in charge with Palle, Farma was summoned to the office in Bruno.

"I don't know what."

"What's the matter, Pharma, have you done something?

Chilled by Palais, Farma visits Bruno's room twisting her neck.

"May I call you, Father?"

Bruno's expression was rude.

"Sir Tremoille said he quit the court pharmacist, but you were able to interject?

Bruno glances at him, waiting for Pharma's words.

As far as Pharma is concerned, Hugo has raided, so I just did it in return, but it clouds the word.

"Come on... what do you think"

I don't know, I couldn't say.

But Bruno told Pharma whether he had drawn the background from the appearance.

"As many pharmacists admit, your knowledge and arm as a pharmacist is one or more servings. I also congratulate His Majesty on his memory. But even if what you're saying is true, it's not necessarily the right thing to do in court. You are still half human. [M] Especially if you turned the House of the Lords into an enemy with tremendous political influence."

"Yes, you're right."

Farma hears Bruno's words honestly. Behind Hugo's retirement, Bruno must have been bothered, Pharma suspects.

Since there had never been an example of court pharmacists voluntarily retiring, the suspicion that it was a Bruno conspiracy would also have been directed almost exclusively.

"Don't argue with the court people, even if you have a little trouble getting to your stomach. Shame on you, criticize you badly by your hands, and don't let them be slammed. If you fight, you make enemies, circle around and shrug your feet. Especially since you're just a kid, not a lousy mouth."

"I remember the liver."

If we talk about what happened, Bruno's attitude would be different, and he would show us an understanding of Farma's behavior, but I honestly accept Bruno because he seemed to have guided Farma too yummy.

"I'll send a letter of apology to Lord Tremoille."

Usually moxibusted by an oligarchy Bruno, something he had originally planned to do, Farma decided to turn to following Hugo early.

…━━…━━…━━…

"Dear Farma, who are you writing to?

After such a break at the pharmacy, he asks Farma, who was rarely eager to write to him, without offense, while Lotte serves tea and sweets.

Letters are sent to areas where message pigeons cannot be used.

A biographical pigeon using the dove's nesting instinct is basically a one-way street, so it can only be used by an opponent who comes and goes frequently. In addition, letters may be more convenient because a one-time flying message pigeon never returns to the destination itself. Nevertheless, letters are rare.

"Farma, you wrote me a letter..."

Ellen also shakes her neck.

"I'm going to go to Lord Hugo, so I'm going to give you a heads-up"

To Ellen, in part, he was telling her the upside down with Hugo by laying down the circumstances.

"Farma, if you hit me so hard, I think I'd be scared to visit you... and I think you're here to chase me"

But Pharma doesn't really care. I don't even care.

"That's what I think, I'm sending out a letter. Because you don't have to. I thought you'd be surprised when you suddenly go."

It was a care for Pharma because the court people had heard that he would panic when even the Pharma letters appeared.

"Surprised, or vice versa, nothing but a threat."

Ellen squeaked softly at Pharma, who was not looking too bad.

"I'll follow you, too. I didn't know what was going to happen when I went to the enemy's home base."

(Hmm. I think Ellen would be more dangerous to follow)

Farma doesn't think Ellen's companionship is on her feet, but she wants to avoid any danger to Ellen.

"They can't use divine art anymore, so don't worry."

When a divine user who relied solely on divinity, like Hugo, is deprived of divinity, it is something he can do nothing more than a civilian soldier. Not to mention Hugo was a middle-aged man with declining health, a difference in strength between heaven and earth compared to Pharma, whose senses became acute and his thoughts accelerated when he observed the crisis.

"But what if they launch a physical attack? Like shooting."

"Look at this."

When Pharma confirmed that no one had seen him but Ellen, he gave a momentum to stick the tip of the pen he had in his own arm. But the tip of the pen pierced Pharma's arm and stabbed him in the desk.

"Hih!? What's going on!? Your body."

"I wonder what's going on"

As much as I'd like to hear about it, that's what Pharma really means. Pharma's body is like an entity and not an entity, so the physical attack slips through.

"That being said, you are a great enemy. I'm worried."

Ellen seemed genuinely worried. Farma, who read it,

"Thanks. Then I guess I'll have you follow me. By the way, I'm gonna ask you one thing, Ellen, are you good at high places?

"What do you mean?

Ellen had a bad feeling and her face caught on.

"Thought I'd ask."

Anyway, it was Ellen who regretted saying he was going to accompany her.

"Yikes! I knew this was what I meant -!?

The next day, they were flying furthermore over that clear blue sky at a fierce speed.

Behind Pharma, Ellen's screaming remains. Ellen can't touch the drug scepter directly, but Ellen grabbed it on Pharma's shoulder and was flying in a two-person position on the drug scepter.

"Put it down! Falling!"

It wasn't even an atmosphere of air dating alone.

"I can't put it down anymore. I'm flying at low speeds, you feel fast?

Farma was used to flying, so his sense of speed was off track.

"Hih-uh!

"Well, just a little bit more, so bear with me. Why don't you hold onto my shoulder and if you're afraid to look down, why don't you look up?

Listening to Ellen hiss, they flew a straight distance to Hugo's territory looking at the map, and the two arrived near their destination.

Stealing his eyes and descending on the earth, Ellen uttered a plundering voice, "Kick, break..." He was entering and watering with divine art, moisturizing his thirsty throat.

Hydration for the divine use of water is self-sufficient.

With such Ellen on the sidelines, Farma says a word when she sees the exterior of the castle.

"It's Monsanto Michelle... at sea like this"

Hugo's castle was precisely a maritime fortress reminiscent of it. It fortifies small islands floating at sea to consolidate its surroundings with high walls. The castle inside is a complex high-rise building.

Cannon gates can also be seen on the walls. The entrance and exit are only one wide huge main entrance leading from land.

"It's in defense to make the water a place where it came from. The divine use of water lays a defensive posture in the divine formation of water."

Explain as Ellen drinks water.

Speaking of which, the mansion of the de Medicis family was also facing the river, and the herbal garden was the middle state of the river, Farma recalls.

"What's a theocracy formation?

Ellen tells me about the Divine Arts.

He says it's a divine art that automatically activates when you keep chanting and divine power in shapes and letters and set activation conditions.

(Is it like a magic formation?)

And, Pharma understands perfectly.

"If you lay down the Divine Arts in advance, when you find an intruder that doesn't come in through the front gate, you automatically attack them with water attribute divinity. It's also laid in the mansion of the de Medicis."

"Was it? That's convenient."

(The subspecies of the one that Mr. Salomon and the others used)

Speaking of which, when he first met and fought the Salomons, who were heretical inquisitors, Pharma recalled that he was later planted with some traps of a divine seal that turned out to be a ruinous system.

"So we're going through the main entrance?

It's no different to try to break in and get caught in the Divine Arts on purpose.

"That's all you got. If we don't, we'll feed on the Divine Arts. By the way, Farma, haven't we arrived sooner than you sent us?

State-owned postal services are carried out in Teito, and letters are delivered in the morning by couriers.

I sent it by express mail dedicated to the great nobility, so the delivery time could be accurately calculated.

"By my calculations, I'm almost done reading the letter."

"So you won't give Lord Hugo time to escape."

Ellen's spine froze over Pharma's unpluggedness.

The two approach the main entrance of the water fortress on foot to avoid being suspected.

Pharma felt some unpleasant signs as she approached the castle.

(Don't worry, it feels like this. dull)

With that in mind, Farma puts up a spear and speaks first to the two upright immovable gatekeepers. Hugo's castle seemed to be on strict alert and there were many watches over the walls.

"Hi, I gave you my letter and I apologize for the sudden visit, my name is Farma de Medicis and I am a court pharmacist. May I see Lord Tremoille?"

"The castle owner is not here right now."

The gatekeepers were surprised to hear that the boy was a court pharmacist and responded with a polite response.

"Okay. When will you be back?

"In the long run, we only want to"

Farma says he is absent for a long time, so he pulls back once.

"You have no choice, I'll put it back out again"

When you have no heart or the gatekeeper looks relieved. Pharma heard a slight noise and looked up at the high and soaring castle.

And through divine power to the drug scepter, take Ellen's hand.

"What's going on?

Ellen punches Farma in the ear.

"Oh, my God, you're here."

Pharma took Ellen and jumped in alone from a half-opened window into Hugo's chamber. Too fast, the gatekeeper couldn't see what had happened.

"What just happened?

The two gatekeepers looked at each other.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!

In those days Hugo, suddenly attacked by the Pharmas from unexpected distances, stood up and made an odd noise, running to the wall of the room and colliding and falling.

"Good day, Lord Tremoille"

Pharma speaks up. Even as Hugo tried to escape, Farma blocked his way out by standing in front of the exit door.

"Hey, how did you know where I was!

Hugo already has tears in his eyes just to see what Pharma looks like.

"As I foretold in my letter, I just asked. You opened the window and watched. If you're going to be away, don't look at me. You'll notice."

Farma bears Bruno's advice in mind, and before that, he flushes it into the water and speaks politely to Hugo.

"Oh... until that happens, you know..."

Before the culprit of terror, Hugo has no words to return.

And Ellen is in Pharma's guts, who doesn't pull Hugo against him at all.

"... what have you done to me?"

Hugo, with a tumble on his forehead, was shaking with his head.

Farma, just feeling sorry for him, prefaces, "I wrote in a letter, but you don't have to be frightened today," he says.

"I know you have paid off the alchemists you deceived, so that's it, and I'm not going to tell Your Majesty."

I've come to see Hugo, who is rumored to have been mentally hit, that's true. Asked the examining eye, Hugo's brain had blue light.

“Acute stress disorder”

Pharma's hunch was false.

Although it was my biggest concern, Hugo was developing acute stress disorder.

Acute stress disorder is a stress reaction such as a flashback, avoidance behavior, or hyperawakening of an experience that is revealed after a strong trauma to the heart. He panicked when he saw Pharma and was in serious insomnia. If this condition persists for a long time, it may also develop into PTSD.

Even by then when it comes to what he deserves, Pharma is not going to punish him enough to become irreversible.

Hugo's skill as a pharmacist was something he couldn't ignore, he can't go back to court pharmacists more than he once retired, but it's a shame to let him completely retire here.

"Forgive me already, please..."

Hugo surrenders in tears wondering how to beg for forgiveness any more. Do you even think you'll be forced to do this by a story for the rest of your life, Farma thinks so?

"Today, it's about time you punished me, so I just thought it would be a good time to open the Divine Path, you won't be able to hide the loss of divine power around you forever"

So, I guess I even lay the truth down on the gatekeeper and pulled it inside the castle.

"What I really want to ask you is, what did you scam for? If you tell me the truth, I will open up the divine power."

Pharma put the exchange conditions on hold.

"... for the stone of the wise"

"If it were a sage stone, it would have been a fake"

Ellen clings quickly.

"I wanted to see if anyone had synthesized the stones of the wise"

Here's what Pharma told me from Hugo.

First, we hear a horror story about synthesizing the stones of the wise among the alchemists throughout the Empire. Then the elephants, interested in the stones of the wise, gather together. If anyone had ever truly synthesized the stones of a wise man, it was that the stones of a wise man in the hands of Hermes the Alchemist could be seen as false objects, in contact with his discerning man.

(I don't know what that means. But that's...)

"Why were you looking for an alchemist who did such a far-fetched thing and synthesized the stones of a wise man? You think the Sage's Stone is real?

Increasingly, Pharma is baffled.

"It is possible to synthesize the stones of the wise. However, synthesis carries great dangers"

Hugo determined in a certain tone, and poured every bottle of wine that was nearby.

All this time, it wasn't the tone you were lying about.
