The Last Surviving Alchemist Wants to Live Quietly in the City

Head to the back alley of the northeast section to buy medicinal herbs.

Because the labyrinth can also take medicinal herbs, many shops handle medicinal herbs in labyrinth cities. There are even large chambers of commerce and specialty stores.

Anything in the labyrinth has different environments depending on the hierarchy, like snow mountains, deserts, or the South. They have environments all over the world that can harvest all kinds of herbs. Of course there will be demons, so they can't dive into Mariella who can't fight, but some adventurers specialize in herbs.

The herbs collected are brought to the Adventurer's Guild or Specialty Store. Herbs bought here will be retailed within the labyrinth city or stored outside the labyrinth city by specialist stores and chamber of commerce personnel for drying and other storage treatments.

The flow around here is the same for other materials, and after most of the various materials are processed in labyrinth cities, they are piled up in Yagoo and transported across the mountain range.

The labyrinth city is no longer an independent country, but a peripheral part of the empire that was adjacent to the Kingdom of Endalgia. There must be an empire currency in use for logic.

If neither the Labyrinth nor the Devil's Forest are managed by mistake of demons, the Labyrinth City will be permanently populated with armies against demons and will be active in attracting adventurers, because stampede will occur as it was 200 years ago, causing tremendous damage. The cost of doing so is covered by taxes on materials and treasures obtained from the labyrinth. Tax rates are no different from other labyrinths, but there are no safe routes that can be transported in bulk. Mountain routes that use Yagoo have lower purchase prices than other labyrinth cities because of higher shipping costs.

It is difficult to say that it is attractive to adventurers and merchants, although it is balanced by lowering tax rates within labyrinth cities for that matter and lowering the costs that adventurers incur in exploring.

Mariella and the others don't know, but running a labyrinth city has been a headache issue for historical borderline uncles.

Ask Lynx to guide us to a specialty drug store where he has a deal with the Black Iron Transport Corps. In addition to undertaking treatment such as drying so that herbs can be bought and transported out of the city, the pharmacy also processes herbs or medicines and retails them to residents.

Although not as effective as potion, there is the profession of a pharmacist who makes a variety of medicines from medicinal herbs. People with alchemy skills often operate a medicinal herb shop while practicing medicine.

Lynx led me to a herbal specialist who had a deal with the Black Iron Transport Corps. They say the scale is smaller, the variety of medicinal herbs handled and the quality is good.

In the dim shop, an old man with glasses like the bottom of a bottle looked bigoted and tested for herbs.

"Grandpa Gark, you're alive!

"Lin Fong? I bought it with a woman. Isn't that a good position?

"Shut up. Today's customer is over here! Be affectionate with Chi.

We're close enough.

From familiar objects such as culliqués and cargolans to rare objects that serve as raw materials for premium and specialty potions, a wide variety of herbs line up in dry conditions.

However, unfortunately, it is not handled in a good way. The herbs are handled in a manner suitable for each drug effect, but they are all slightly removed from fine conditions such as temperature and pressure conditions. Besides, it's been a long time since I've let it dry, and some of the medications have flown a lot.

(This will reduce the effect by half.

I gave him the medicinal herbs he needed and asked him if he had any undried items.

"That's where you are. Drying herbs can't be done by amateurs. Totally obsessed with strange places as newcomers.

I was told to blurt. I came a little cocky.

"The Fiorcus petals over here are dried without taking the pollen, and the Renamaggia over there isn't too dry temperatures. And it was quite a while ago. I don't need it."

I said back. Grandpa Gark took off his glasses and looked seriously at Mariella,

"Do you have an appraisal? I can spot you at a glance, Ta. Good eye. Shit. Stay."

From the back, I said, I brought an undried herb. They are all in good condition as freshly collected.

Appraisal is a skill in obtaining information about people and objects by accessing the world's memory (acacic records), with one in ten owners. However, even when it comes to appraisal, it is mostly limited to people, plants, demons, weapons, etc., and it is quite difficult to increase the level. Information outside of human intelligence, such as the memory of the world (Acacic Records), is probably not available in line of effort or talent.

Although it is not uncommon for people with appraisal skills, most appraisal skills are subtle: stop people with good memory. There are many merchants with appraisal skills, but that is not all they can eat.

Mariella doesn't have appraisal skills, by the way. It was due to alchemy skills that I found out about the condition of the herb.

Alchemists can know the state of the material 'by means of alchemy skills' so that cooks can know the ingredients and seasonings caught in the dish with their tongues. Unlike appraisal skills that give you information about things you don't know at all if the level increases, the subject is limited to alchemy materials and refined products with some knowledge, but alchemy skills can be raised by making potions, and alchemy materials are convenient because they are not limited to plants, but are diverse, such as minerals and animal and demonic materials.

Most of all, even if you have alchemy skills in a labyrinth city, you can't contract with a vein = you can't create potions, so you can't improve your alchemy skills. No matter how well you know the material, it will be difficult to spot the condition at a glance like Mariella did.

"Apuliole's actually the only one that has been AK unplugged. Lund's leaf pattern is not today. It's not enough. If it's good tomorrow, I'll get it.

How dare Grandpa Gark dive into the labyrinth himself?

The processing of Apuliole fruit is perfect but a little short.

Given Deputy Marlow's delivery date, it looks like you should ac it out yourself, and ask for the torona ore you need to ac it out with you.

"I thought you were a new American pharmacist, but can you do it from the processing of the material? The only way to mix herbs is to mix herbs. It's not the same as the pharmacists around here. Anything else I can get you? I'll get them all together.

He told me. Apparently, it's suitable for your glasses.

"Do you have nigil buds? The one with no leaves open. It can be frozen. And the toxic glands of parasitic leeches. I'd like something oiled if possible.

"I do. How's it going with him?

Nigill is a bulbous plant that sprouts under snow, and the untouched area of budding air immediately after sprouts becomes the raw material for a specialized potion that regenerates muscle tissue.

There is a demand for adventurers who have been a little bittered by demons, so much so that some farmers in the defensive cities specialize in growing Nigill.

Grandpa Gark showed us that Nigill buds had been collected and frozen at the best time and were no less than Nigill growers.

Parasitic leeches are leeches that bite, be they animals, people, beasts or demons, about the size of adult thumbs. It is called 'parasitic leech' because it gives out an anesthetic poison from the toxic gland, so when it bites you in the back or elsewhere you will continue to be sucked of blood stuck unaware. Because this leech poison also has a hematopoietic effect, it does not become anemic even if it is sucked. What a disgusting creature, so the adventurers I find do more mental damage than the parasitic goblins, such as goblins with a bunch of parasitic leeches stuck to their backs.

The paralytic poison is in water and the hematopoietic ingredient is dissolved in oil, so extracting the hematopoietic ingredient is easy, but because it looks gross, I don't want to touch it if possible.

This product was also properly treated and oiled in a way that the prototype was not known. Thank you, Grandpa Gark.

I can make a potion to cure Sieg's legs.

Order the required quantity to match the delivery to Deputy Marlow with the potion for Siege and confirm the amount.

"22 silver coins for the reservation."

It was 20-40% cheaper than a defensive city.

"Well, since it's all collected in the labyrinth, I don't need transportation, and I just don't want to see taxes all over the city.

"Taxes are taken when you get out of the city. Even then, Deputy Marlow said the tax rate wouldn't change roughly.

Lynx supplemented Grandpa Gark's explanation. They could have bought it cheaper thanks to defensive city policies. I was able to put it away for about half of the balance.

"Po...... do you have a medicine bottle?

"Non-herbal monsters are just in the corner over there.

In the corner of the indicated shop, alchemy materials other than medicinal herbs, such as medicine bottles and rock salt, crystal shards and small demonic stones, are displayed in a messy display, with crappy crates at the foot. When I look inside, I use it in alchemy, or unusual appliances like paper, ink, pen, or other miscellaneous items that I can't use anywhere else. The contents in the bag or bottle are unknown and the materials used are thrown in. They are all used and dusty.

(I knew you didn't have a potion bottle.

Even when you say potion in a bite, the materials and efficacy are fragmented, and many things are managed differently depending on the potion, such as those that are vulnerable to the light of day, those that are prone to deterioration when warm, and those that are damaged when exposed to the air for a long time, and are unstable as they are.

From the alchemist who makes the potion, it works as soon as he drinks it or hangs it on the scratch, so it's easy and obvious, but from the person who uses it, it's too much trouble, such as changing the storage method for each potion.

So potions can be placed in potion bottles made with alchemy skills. The potion bottle is made of special glass that refines demonic stones and Shizukuishi of life to alleviate the deterioration of the potion. Expensive potions, especially those that are prone to deterioration, are those that carve a magic formation into a bottle or put on a painted seal or label of a magic formation.

Potion bottles are easy to use, so empty bottles are bought and sold in every city.

(Even though there is no potion, there is no way the bottle is for sale. Shh, make it.

Creating potion bottles is a laborious task, so much so that there are alchemists who specialize in bottle making. Mariella's master is a tough man, and he was planted from the way the bottle was made, so he can make it.

(annoying............)

I have to start where I go to get the ingredients. Tomorrow is going to crumble with bottlemaking.

There was no bottle, but when I was fishing for a dusty crate to see if there was anything useful, "Take every box if you're interested," he gave it to me for free.

Everything seems to have been done a long time ago by an alchemist who came to the labyrinth city from outside, forcing him to sell it when he left the labyrinth city. After they already bought and fished the product that seemed to be available, they told me it was just fine because it was a hassle to throw it away.

If you can't make potions for sure, all you have left is what you don't need. Unlabeled powders and grains will also be a difficult substitute to throw away for those who cannot be identified. But Mariella needed it, and I was thankful to have some expensive stuff in it when I bought it. Obviously there was garbage in it, though.

Since it was a corner, I bought an extra 3 silver coins for the product, including medicine bottles, rock salt, demon stones and spare herbs, and paid 2 large silver coins and 5 silver coins to leave the store.

Grandpa Gark,

"You have all the bookings for tomorrow evening. Come whenever you need the herb.," he dropped me off.

"Mariela, wow.

When he left the store, Lynx said he was impressed.

"Grandpa Gark is a Henkz, and I only put the failed herbs in the store. The eye-catcher said that this was enough.

I've never seen a guy in one shot before.

You liked it when you came!

I got crap boxes, and the variety and quality of herbs are good. I'm glad Grandpa Gark liked it, too. Thanks to the master's stern guidance. I have to thank you.

I totally turned around at noon. Though breakfast was late, I was hungry. There are adventurer stalls around the labyrinth, where dried fruit, bread, and skewers are sold even in a corner close to the pharmacy. With dried fruit with ghost dates and apricots, a vial of olive fruit, and a thank you for the guide, I bought skewers and ate them for three, and went back to "Yagoo's Bouncing Bridge Pavilion".
