The Failure Alchemist of the Royal Capital ~My Job Is a Failure So, I’ll Manage My Store Carefreely.~

I searched my room in the "Alchemy Book" to find out about the release of petrification. The page is now open on the desk. And some of the other books that I used as references remained open.

Yeah, we found it on that page. But it seemed pretty tough.

As I looked at the page, I bent my lips to the letter to the neck and, um, roared.

Here are the ingredients.

Mandragora Roots Yes

Bag of petrochemical liquid (monster's internal organs) No

Water (distilled water) Yes

Here's the tool.

Coil (made from metal wire) No

Magnetite - No

Here's how to make it.

Place a bag of petrochemical liquid in the extract of Mandragora made in the beaker and coil it inside. Then bring the magnetite closer to the coil from above (the magnetite does not touch the water). In this way, "something" that is invisible in the coil flows, so magic is poured into the magnetite to increase the amount of "something". Then the extract of Mandragora and the petrified liquid react and become medicine.

Incidentally, coils are made of metal wire. When you make a spiral around the middle of the wire, it's called a "coil."

Also, in our country, wires are very expensive. The blacksmith keeps burning and stretching the metal over and over again. Hardware can also be used in bird cages, but it is an expensive item that only some wealthy people can get.

And "magnetite" is a stone that attracts iron that is sometimes found in mines and the like. I have never seen or used it before.

There were many things I didn't know, so I searched not only for the "Alchemy Book", but also for our library while flipping over. And, well, it was hard to investigate and understand. The biggest problem, however, was the lack of certainty that it could be made.

Can you control the magic well without knowing the identity of the 'something' flowing through the coil?

I slip down on the bed with the floral sheets in the room. A puppy leaf rubbing against my side of the bed. I hope it heals. But...

... I'm not sure.

Soothed by the warmth of the reef for a while.

Thank you, Reef.

I woke up with a sleigh and stroked the reef, and then I decided to summarize what I had studied in a notebook and consult with your father.

"Daisy, you really did a good job. Good luck."

My father, who seemed to be taking his time in the living room, first praised me for my hard work so far. The big hand stroking your head is warm, and it's kind of sneaky to praise you. My anxiety just warmed me up a little bit.

"Nevertheless, there are some items that are difficult to obtain. Oliver is the head of the Commercial Guild, and he may have a lot to say about getting something unusual. Why don't you invite her home and talk to her?"

I honestly decided to accept your father's proposal.

Your father wrote to Oliver that day.

A few days later, Mr. Oliver came to my house.

An egg tart brought to me by Oliver as a souvenir, named Dariol, was recently popular in King's Landing, and tea prepared by the maid was placed on the table.

I sat down on the sofa alongside my father, and Oliver sat opposite me.

"Thank you so much for finding a way to make my daughter's Petrify medicine this time... You invited me to talk to you about difficult items."

That's what Oliver's going to check on me.

"Yes, if you have a message that you will get the fossilized liquid bag, metal wire, and magnetite inside the monster, I would like to ask for your help."

That being said, I'll give Oliver a note of the three pieces.

"That's right, it's all unfamiliar to your daughter. Magnetite and metal wire, I think this can be obtained from someone I know. The bag of petrochemical liquid depends on the timing because it contains the monster, but if you don't have it in stock, you can ask the Adventurer Alliance. Well, I'll prepare these ingredients for you. We'll deliver it to you as soon as it's ready."

Oliver nodded with a smile. I felt relieved by that reliable expression.

But I had one more thing to discuss.

"We've looked into the materials, equipment, and methods we need. However, I have never made medicine in this way. Probably trying and making mistakes. So....."

Oliver offered me a suggestion when I was about to lean over.

"If the medicine is successfully completed and the daughter's leg is healed, three gold coins will be paid as a success reward, and if the medicine is unfortunately not completed, five silver coins will be paid as a labor fee. How about this?"

"Can I still get money if I fail?

I lean my neck in wonder.

"Lady, if you're going to do business, you need to get what you get. Even if it doesn't work out, the lady spends that precious time on my order. You should think about that and include it as a price."

In doing so, I learned one more lesson as a merchant in my dealings with Oliver, a natural merchant.
