The Last Surviving Alchemist Wants to Live Quietly in the City

Daisies is a violet-shaped plant that lives in the Devil's Forest and grows by absorbing magic drifting into the atmosphere from leaves and violet fibers.

Bromomintera is famous for avoiding demons, which people can't feel, but it smells like demons don't like.

Demons react to people's magic, so when you use an exorcism potion made with these two ingredients, from demons, there's no sign of a person, and they're simply in a crummy state.

Your master taught you that you can also live in the Devil's Forest by covering the roofs and hedges of your house with daisies and planting Bromomintera around the hedge. Mariella's cabin, inherited from her master, was also built of this, and until stampede occurred, she lived quietly, without being entered into the demons. Most importantly, when the stampede occurs, the demon becomes frenzied, so it hardly involuntarily passes through the smell of bromomintera, and because it becomes sensitive to human signs, the cabin has disappeared.

Mariella decided to leave, spreading a newly created demon-free potion on her body.

As long as you wield a potion excluding demons, although there is a difference in ease of effect depending on the species, demons are better avoided, so shallow layers of demon forests can travel without matching demons, unless you make so much noise. I wonder if time has gone around noon, the sun is still high but I want to get to the city as soon as possible.

I went through the woods for half an hour, on the street where the carriage could pass. Things had changed in the woods because the beast paths I always used were gone or the trees were arranged differently, but up to this point I could get to what I remember.

The Kingdom of Endalgia is surrounded by rugged mountains and demonic forests, so the only way to get to other countries is through mountain ranges or through streets open to sew the gap between the mountain hem and the demonic forest.

This street was one of them, and on the other side of the Devil's Forest across the street was a haze with a rich barn area.

"The forest is drinking me……………………"

What happened to the defensive city, the Kingdom of Endalgia?

The barn zone was gone, but this street remains. There must be some signs that it was used, so there must not be any loss of people's residence. Let's head to the defensive city anyway.

I heard fighting nearby as I tried to go down the street.

Mariela can't fight. I don't have combat skills and smell dull before then.

Normally, he escaped and didn't come close, but the sensation was paralyzed by the strangeness that kept him up after he woke up. Too many things happened that I don't know, and my curiosity about understanding the current situation made me turn my legs to those who made the noise. Proceed in hiding between the demonic forest and the streets, peering through the shadows of the trees.

(Forest Wolf and is that... a carriage?

What was being attacked were three carriages covered in iron to the gantry.

The carriage is covered with boneless iron plates, with only a few windows for maneuvering and no window-like objects except the ejection hole of the bowgun. If you look closely, the iron plate has been jointed several times, leaving traces of demonic claws and fangs everywhere. I could barely dive the dead line more than once.

Connected to the armored carriage two heads at a time is a bipedal carnivore called Raptor. It has a fierce personality and a hard epidermis, so it is not a low-level demon, but it is difficult to teach and has never been seen in defensive cities. I've never seen such a heavily equipped carriage or anything like it in the first place.

The two guards on the Raptor are responding with a spear and a sword, but the defense-focused heavy equipment keeps them moving slowly and prevents Forest Wolf fangs, but they also seem to be struggling with a quick Forest Wolf at a rate that doesn't hit them.

(Still, Forest Wolf, right?

Forest Wolf is a nasty demon to fight because he acts in a herd and makes wave-like attacks with sharp fangs and quick movements. But.

(Shh!

Throw in a demon shelter potion.

"Gawns, gawns!"

Forest Wolves fleeing simultaneously.

Interpretation is wolf. He has a sharp nose. Enough to escape in a demon shelter potion.

So, as long as you wield a demon shelter potion, you won't meet and you can easily get rid of it.

When you go down the street in the first place, it is customary to use demon shelter potions, which are sold cheaply at the border at the exit of the Demon Forest. If you use a cheap potion of 5 copper coins, a shallow layer of demon forest instead of the street can act without encountering demons.

(Even kids know that, huh? Did you forget to buy it? There's no way you don't know that, is there?

After confirming that Forest Wolf had left, Mariella walked down the street.

Two of the cavalry of the armored carriage, who were confronted with Forest Wolf, inquired about the direction of Forest Wolf's departure in an abrupt manner and, after seeing the potion bottle, one of them turned to Mariella.

"Is that a demon shelter potion now?

(What do you know?

Anyway, wake up and be a swinging person. I want a lot of information. It would be super nice to finally get a thank you or something for your help.

Smile friendly and reply.

"Yes. I thought I might not need it, but I was hoping I could help.

The larger cavalry, as he descended from Raptor, took off his helmet and walked over here a few steps.

With a tight face reminiscent of an advanced adventurer, would he be about 30 years old when he was old? Unalarmed eyes common to skilled adventurers peek under thick brows of scorched brown. Looks like this guy is the leader of an armored carriage. He has a majestic look for his age.

"No, thank God. We can't take the Forest Wolves to the city, we made it difficult.

I'm the captain of the Black Iron Transport Corps and I'm called Dick. Are you the Spirit Hall of the Forest?

It was nice to be politely greeted, but I was misled strangely. At least it came out after I removed the herb from my lower back (Cosimino). How did you reply?

"The Spirit of the Forest" is, as the name suggests, a spirit who lives in the forest, and there are various sightings, such as those that look like beasts, trees, or people close to each other. Unlike demons, the spirits do not attack people, but rather help them. Tales like guiding a child to the exit after giving him herbs to pick up herbs for his sick mother, or guiding a wrecked and about to fall hunter to the fountain, are often heard in this demonic forest.

Unlike the four great spirits, such as the Spirit of Fire and Water, they do not lend their strength when using certain skills and magic, they are not known how to invoke it, but, like other spirits, they do not have entities and are called 'Spirits of the Forest' because of their contours and their goodness towards people, as familiar and familiar spirits.

"No, Captain. The spirits in the woods don't look so clear. Isn't it a girl who says how she saw it?

I was wondering how to respond, and a calm penetration went in. Thanks.

A flax-haired young man descends from a carriage like an iron mass. When I was about 16,7 years old? You look just as good as Mariela. When a young man laughs nostalgically, his thin eyes become even more threaded.

"No, because you dress unusual.

(Mmm, is the herbal skirt still too cutting-edge?)

"It's a demon shelter skirt.

In the meantime, I've tried to appeal to the functionality of the herbal skirt.

"Anyway, is that from a labyrinth city?

And Captain Dick put me through a lot.

The conversation suddenly became Frank because he found out that he was the person to start the conversation. The man who named himself Dick feels kind of intimidated because he is a tough big man.

"Hey, hey, that was a demon shelter potion earlier, right? Are you still there?

Before responding, the young man with the thread broke into Captain Dick's story.

Are you too friendly? Can I interrupt your captain's story? Or a labyrinth city?)

Looking at this one and Captain Dick, he looked at Mariella with some exploring eyes.

(Oh, this is the one with the eyes on the prey. I don't know if your response was deliberate.

You're a convoy traveling the streets of the Devil's Forest in an armored carriage without using a demon shelter potion.

A labyrinth city? What a city I don't know. What happened while you were asleep? I guess it was a detour to come out.)

"That's all the potion is left. Money has been hired, and I'm on my way to sell it.

Mariella opened her porch to show her inside and answered carefully, regretting that she had popped up in love. I'm not lying, and I'm not supposed to be saying anything extra.

"Heh, three demon shelters and five low-level potions. You made me use the precious one.

The young man with the thread grasped the contents of the small pouch without even approaching it.

(It's more than 10 steps away, right? My eyelids opened for a second. It was glowing!)

Captain Dick glanced at you Yarn on the 'precious' hit and took the story one step closer to Mariella.

"Hmm. Even though we were cut through alone, it's true that we were helped. I wonder, could you let me buy that potion for the first time?

(If I refuse, I will take it and it will be sold to me too. I know. Well, I don't see why this is happening in such a cheap potion. And don't come this way, because I'm scared.)

Oh, my God. Of course you can't say that.

"Yes, because this is also on your side of something.

Mariella replied with a make-up laugh, greatly regretting her nagging behavior.

"Right, that helps.

Captain Dick replied a little relieved.

I don't know if it helps if I can get the potion or if it helps if it doesn't help me. If it were the latter, maybe he wouldn't be that bad of a person. If you're going to pay me, I'm a customer.

(Of course, I won't be alarmed.)

I just regretted it so much, but I can't count on Mariella's "Don't be alarmed" when I think of her as a "customer" or something.

"It's the price but... yeah"

Another cavalry, who had previously observed the situation, approached Captain Dick and heard something.

(Please stop because it's bad for your heart. What will you do if you stop again?

What are we talking about? Will the potion still be covered? When Mariela was nervous, Captain Dick told her the price.

"How about five big silver coins for nine?

"…………………?

I was too surprised, and it solidified. I mean, I think I stopped my heart a little bit.

(Uh, calm down, me.)

However, both the demon shelter potion and the lower potion should have been about five copper coins.

In the woods, even if it's a botched price, 10 copper coins would be a good place.

I would be lucky to get 9 of them and 100 copper coins = 1 silver coin.

(You said big silver coins, right? Five of them, too.

10 silver coins and 1 large silver coin, so 50x!?

You think prices are getting super inflated? Like 50 copper coins for a loaf of bread?)

Captain Dick restated in a slight panic about how Mariela received the surprisingly solidified.

"No, right, it was obvious in Forest Wolf earlier that the effect was certain. It's a freshly made state of preservation. Um, what about one gold coin?

(The price went up even further if it was solidified. Suddenly it doubles. You know, 200 times the usual?

Yeah, what's going on!?)
