The Last Surviving Alchemist Wants to Live Quietly in the City

"Are you going to teach me how to make drugs?

Hermella, head of the Merchant Guild Herbs department, asks back. Liendro, deputy head of department, also looks unexpected.

"Yes, of course, not all of them, but I was wondering if I could talk to you about how to make well-sold medicines like wound pills, pain medication, smoke balls, etc.

Oh, you've got Cal's understanding.

Mariella and Siege were visiting Hermella to visit the Merchant Guild in order to discuss the harassment of their fellow pharmacists.

"But aren't they all selling products?

"Yes, but they're all easy stuff. Isn't it awkward that basic things like wound pills make a difference in sales?

Mariella's question shoots at the drug situation in the labyrinth city. The level of the city's pharmacists is low and many are not even satisfactorily held back by the basics. Thanks to the high quality materials brought about from the labyrinth, it is only quite effective. In fact, the medication was less troublesome and raising the level of the pharmacist was also a headache issue for Elmera.

In the herbal sector, we started a major book, the Great Dictionary of Herbal Drug Effects, which summarizes the effects of herbal herbs and how to handle them, published various books with basic methods of making medicines, and continued to carry out authentic activities with the certification system in the workshops, but there were also too many differences between the level required by the Herbal Department Manager of Herbal Herbs and the level of the pharmacists, which had not been very successful.

Not all of them make it in a nasty way with the pharmacists. Information in the "Great Dictionary of Herbal Drug Effects" and books about other medicines is also a testament to their drilling. Still, it was in their low alchemy skills that the labyrinth city drug situation did not improve.

Mariella has a solid foundation for handling materials on top of being able to make advanced potions. That's why I can just look at the material and the intermediate treatment and know what the condition is. Just because a good cook has eaten the dish, he can easily learn the information that his alchemy skills do not make him feel at all, so that he knows how to handle the ingredients and the seasonings used.

The same would be possible if they were alchemists from the Imperial capital held by the Agwinas, but they would not show up in the city well. It would be nice if alchemists from the Empire and surrounding countries could come, but if they possess that much knowledge and skill, they could make a living where they tied their veins to the line, and they wouldn't bother coming to labyrinth cities where they couldn't use alchemy, etc.

Grandpa Gark, who runs a pharmacy, has material appraisal skills, and since he was younger, he's worthy of continuing to use appraisal skills and now has a high skill level. Even a mixture of materials like medicine can obtain information with special magic tools and appraisal skills.

However, it is rare for an appraiser to be able to increase his or her appraisal skills to this point where it is said that it is difficult to raise the level, and skill acquirers often hide them to avoid any trouble. There are a limited number of people who know Grandpa Gark has appraisal skills, and it also makes sense to camouflage him as a coarse herbalist with a line of degraded second-rate products in his store.

There are only a few people in the Labyrinth City who can know exactly what the herbs are and what medicines are made of.

I can't clearly understand the good or bad ingredients used or the medicines made. Even if we make a new product, we won't know if it's good or bad unless we do a lot of trials. The situation would have changed with public support, but the effects of the medicine differ considerably compared to the healing magic that can instantly heal wounds and the potions that can fill their disadvantages, whether they are in combat or not.

The Merchant Guild's herbal department has also focused on improving the quality of medicines since Elmera assumed the position of department head, and it was originally the department responsible for coordinating the shipment of herbs out of the city that was tasked with promoting proper handling to avoid lowering the value of expensive herbs.

In a labyrinth city where we had to focus on crusading the labyrinth under circumstances such as lack of leeway, it was said that it was impossible for the development of drugs not to proceed as slowly as possible.

The medicine that Mariella said she would teach you how to make in such a situation exceeds the level of medicine in this city because it is a combination of the technology that her brothers left in the library and the technology to process the material.

Wound medicine is a basic medicine, but it is hard to say that the know-how of how to make it is basic. That is not the case, such as teaching important mesh seeds to commercial enemies.

To Mariella, who had suggested disclosing the information, there was no reason for Elmera to be confused.

Neither Mariella nor Cal will have any trouble teaching you how to make them. There have been more large orders lately and I can't produce the product in time. Even if the wound medicine, pain medication, and smoke balls are no longer available, Cal is committed to relieving the aftermath, and Mariella can make a variety of medicines. Because of this, Mariella is trying her best to make sweet, easy-to-drink medicines, but this one hasn't worked out so well.

There are circumstances in which I said that neither of us will talk about it, but that we are not making a living from the sale of drugs. Hire people and you'll have more trouble. Mariela and the others knew it was out of the hands of a 16,7-year-old girl with only biased knowledge. Mariella also has a secret that she is an alchemist. I'm not going to be taken in by a bad opponent. It would be more convenient to provide some information and bury it among a number of pharmacists than to expand and monopolize it.

"Mm-hmm. I don't know if I'll have the right to make it, but I'll get a lump sum for the information fee at the time of the contract, and then I'll get a portion of the product sales."

"Is this the patent system taking place in Teito? Although the category" medicines "does not exist.

Ms Elmera is puzzled by the proposal of Liendro Deputy Head of Department. Of course I know the system. Labyrinth cities are also part of the empire, so it is also an area where the system applies.

A system that protects new technologies, but the imperial patent system has limited categories. The category in which the most applications flourish is Demonic Props. Conversely, there is no category of smelting products such as potions. Because alchemists have "libraries" and only those recognized by their teachers can know the information, patent protection is rather an obstacle.

The blacksmithing technique is also not covered. Normal iron manufacturing has been scaled up with technological advances, but when it comes to magic metals that I said misrills and adamantites, it is because they cannot be manufactured without a sufficient skill level for blacksmiths, be it refining or forging. Prudence was deeply rooted when it came to the entitlement of products that only those with arms could make.

Conversely, "magic props" technology, which has grown rapidly with the development of labyrinth cities, does not require specific skills and information is likely to inhibit developers' interests. It is no exaggeration to say that the imperial patent system has progressed with the development of "magic props".

The only area in the Empire where potions cannot be made is around a pulse of labyrinth cities, so only labyrinth cities have drugs, so there is no category of "medicine" in the patent system. Therefore, if you want to apply for a patent, you have to make a request from the creation of a category, but given the size of the market for medicines, Ms. Elmera thought it might be unlikely.

"The category application…" suggests Mr. Riendoro to Mr. Elmera, who crushes.

"Hermella, you're thinking about applying for the" medicine "category and not going through it. You don't have to go through. If you go through, you'll be lucky. It takes time on a year-by-year basis to get results that I applied anyway. In the meantime, why don't we just apply and get the information fee paid in the name of" course dues "for the time being, and then we can also get a royalty contract?

That's Mr. Riendoro. Flexible thinking.

"I see. Right. Druggers caught a glimpse of Mariella's shop, The Wood Leak Day, should be forced to participate.

"Well, I'll let my free and seemingly subordinate make a plan based on the royalties. Mr. Elmera, please tell Gilmouth. Mariela, please lecture me.

That said, Mr. Riendoro waved flirtatiously and went looking for a free man who seemed to be able to throw the job round. Mr. Riendoro isn't making plans, is he?

"I have an amazing interesting job to do. Why don't we do it together? I'll take a look at it. (I'm just watching.)" He seems to manipulate his people well while saying something like that.

"Mariela, I would also like to join you as an official and say 'pussy' to the disrespectful pharmacist, thank you. Oh, that also increases the level of labyrinth city pharmacists.

Mr. Elmera the Ugg Broom. Wasn't it a secret that it was the Thunder Emperor? Shouldn't you be doing 'pussy'? I feel like I'm forgetting how to make the pills I taught you around the corner.

His men, who were thrown the plan round by Mr. Riendoro, made the plan in one day, and the next day Mr. Elmera apparently got the approval of the guild master of the Adventurer Guild. After a notice period of about two weeks following the description of the contract fee and royalties, a workshop was held.

Incidentally, contract fees and royalties vary depending on the drug information you provide. One large silver coin for each of the wound pills, pain meds and smokeball contract fees scheduled for this time. This will remain the course dues. Royalties pay 2% of sales annually. This one has a magic contract before the workshop, so you can't make a false declaration at the time of payment. Significant improvements are made based on the way in which they are made, and obviously if a superior or different effect is obtained, it is seen as a different product and falls outside the scope of the contract.

I stopped harassing Mariella's shop perfectly on the occasion of the workshop.

While you are harassing me, I come to the lecture with you because the level of other peer medicines increases. Thanks to this, the workshop was a huge event and was held on a regular weekly basis.

Pharmacists caught directing harassment are listening in silence in the corner of the venue. Besides, I also participated the following week. Because I charge a contract fee for the course membership fee, it's double-handed, so I asked him what was wrong, and he looked like he was embarrassed.

"I tried to make it exactly as I was taught, but it doesn't work very well.

He talked to me. Apparently, he even used the leaf veins and stems of the dried culliqué.

It was too obvious from Mariella and Elmera, and I couldn't tell if anyone knew where the medicinal ingredients were gathering. I see. I tried to incorporate practical exercises into the workshops and held regular study groups for students separate from the workshops.

After interacting with the pharmacists several times, they were able to give us information that Mariela didn't know about how to choose medicines to suit her medical condition, the stores where good herbs were kept, and the sampling grounds in the pits that were easy for pharmacists to collect.

Thus Mariella was able to join the labyrinth city's pharmacists.
