The Last Surviving Alchemist Wants to Live Quietly in the City

"Is this the only bill for the sale of potions this month?

Robert Agwinas asks an old family order.

"Yes, Master Robert. When I requested a reduction in the price the other day, I asked for the transaction at the conventional price, as you instructed, to this number of copies. There seems to have been some budget cuts.

The number of requests for the sale of potions offered by the Labyrinth Crusaders was less than half the traditional number.

"That's crazy. The Labyrinth Crusaders should be sending out a large number of wounded on an earlier expedition. I can't possibly afford the potion.

The Agwinas family is a family that weighs in on potion management and research, but they haven't collected any information at all. Even information that has not appeared in the city well is known to the extent that a large number of injured persons were housed in the clinic of the Labyrinth Crusaders. There are other ways to figure out how many advanced potions the Agwinas have provided. Either way, the expedition ahead seemed to have forced a struggle. A month and a half after the expedition, the wounded have been treated and the start of a small expedition has been confirmed. I thought it was something that had a large number of requests for delivery because I should have used up most of the potions I had put in place before the small expedition.

"Is it a formula that discounts and invites discounts? It's too late for that. He said he was going to make a run for it now. Because a small expedition should have already begun.

A family order answers Robert's ideas.

"According to the informant, we found a buried potion.

"That's 'impossible'. Even Grandpa will know. But if you find a new potion as in" The Rumor "......

No way. Robert thinks.

It's impossible to find a buried potion.

Because even the best potion storage facilities installed in the Agwinas family are substitutes that can only sustain the Shizuku effect of life for about 100 years.

Developments in potion storage equipment dramatically improved magic prop technology after 200 years of demon forest flooding (stampede). The storage facility, conceived by the best brains in Teito, succeeded in reducing the deterioration of the potion by flushing the Shizuku of Life, the source of the potion's magical effects, in the potion and constantly giving an effect similar to the Pharmacodynamic Fixing granted by the Alchemist in the final process of potion creation.

The effect is' theoretically '200 years.

Compared to previous storage containers, storage facilities that allowed the preservation of potions for 100 years, even if deterioration began along the way, would have been laudable. 100 years though. There can't be any potions left made right after the demon forest flood (Stampede). Of course, this information is confidential. The potions in the potion storage facilities held by each house, including the Labyrinth Crusaders and the Schusenwald Border Bo family, are replaced with old potions by regular potion supplies from the Agwinas family, so they should not be aware of the truth either. The secrets of the Agwinas family continue to be kept secret with the number of years in which potion storage facilities can be stored.

So if a new potion comes into the world, it means that the "same" awakened with those who sleep in the basement of the Agwinas family.

It's not an impossible story. I can't tell you that no one has the same means.

But it's hard to believe.

The situation after the Devil's Forest flood (Stampede) is explained in detail. There is not a single alchemist left involved in rebuilding the labyrinth city, the Agwinas family grasps.

(Who the hell are you?

Robert orders the family order.

"We're going to find it. If you are an alchemist, you must be welcomed into our home.

The decree bows his head deeply and leaves the room behind. He will also be brought to the Agwinas family. The decree orders a trustworthy subordinate. Contact the informant. Wash out the carriers of the potion. Don't forget to check on the carriers.

"I will report to you.

Leonhardt, you will receive reports from the scouts who were investigating the Labyrinth 54 hierarchy.

According to the contents of the survey, the water spread over the 54 strata is almost the same as the real sea, and the depth is unknown. The staircase leading downstairs continued up to a depth of nearly 200 m, but since then, it has not been confirmed that the limits of the scout's diving capacity have been exceeded. In terms of depth, according to a survey of sound users, the limit of underwater exploration is exceeded by 1000 m.

"So you can't see the end, the bottom, and possibly have infinite breadth?

"You must be spatially manipulating the 54 hierarchy itself. And the demon?

"Ha. It's a demon, but it didn't confirm the whole thing in the air. The sea also didn't see a single small fish in the exploration range of sound users. The only thing that feels magical is the pillars of the example.

To the scourge report, Leonhardt and Weishardt face to face.

One pillar standing on a vast sea plain.

There will be no one who thinks it's not suspicious.

"So, what about that pillar?

Urged by Weishardt, the scouts report on the current state of the investigation.

The maritime part of the pillars is higher than a three-story building and thicker than the spires on the walls.

There are four head-like things on the top edge of the column, each looking in a different direction at right angles, with no 360 degree blind spots. The shape of the head is reminiscent of a dragon, but the eyes are in their normal position and in three places on the forehead, all of which pop up unusually large. The mouth is popping out in cylindrical form instead of the chin that opens up and down. It is unlikely to be a floating body, as it may move up and down very slightly in conjunction with the waves, although there is no idea how far the sea part is stretched.

When the wormers turned to the feathered demon worm, rays were fired from the overhead cylindrical mouth at a point approximately 1 km from the tower, leaving no more than one demon worm evaporating. Upon verification of the conditions under which the rays were fired, it was stated that a sphere of 1 km radius, centered on the top of the head of the tower, would be at sea level in the range, but that the rays would be fired against an object that had entered, whether in the air or not. The time between the emission of light and the next emission does not take five minutes. Even on land, it would be difficult to approach during the standby time of the light rays, but during the standby time of the light rays, it is said that high pressure water shots are fired. Water shooting can be fired continuously and how many shots can be fired continuously has not been measured severely by worm consumption.

Worm users can manipulate special demon worms hatched from eggs and get information remotely and safely by sharing their senses. It is an essential part of the search for a new hierarchy of the labyrinth where we do not know what kind of danger is lurking, but when the demonic worm is killed, it also receives feedback on its senses, so there is also a scarcity of skills and the operation is carried out with caution. Though he was killed by several demonic worms this time, he seems to have managed to finish the verification of the maritime part by doing a lot more.

After telling the bug user to get enough rest, Leonhardt asks questions about the reported ranged attacks.

"A kind of light magic? Can you reflex with a mirror shield?

"Yes, the raft with the mirror shield fixed into the range was evaporated instantly by light shielding.

Apparently, the light emitted by the tower is the magic of a special blow. Water strikes were also powerful, the raft was devastated, and the direct hit mirror shield was blown away with a snag, he said. This would make it difficult to attack with a positive attack method from the sea.

"Next, in the Mediterranean area, a raft (or raft) floated outside the range of the rays, and the water magic injected the rays to verify that the rays were not emitted at depths of 10 m. The results of the validation at this stage are above.

Leonhardt and Weishardt face to face again for reports of scouts.

After the scouts leave the room, Weishardt starts talking.

"Do you dive, brother?

"Without breathing 1 km?

"Would you even prepare an air bag with heavy stones on it? Would a long trachea be better?

"So if we get close, how do we destroy the tower?

"Right. Let's wait for the detailed findings. Let's find out if there are any potions that allow underwater behavior.

"Potion. Speaking of which, that holy water worked wonderfully.

"I hope holy water works very differently depending on the ingredients, so I guess you used such a good ingredient.

"Ingredients? What?

"It looks like a maiden's hair. You think it works as strong as your young, sober daughter's hair?

"What!?

stands Leonhardt with Higuchi. Maiden hair. Even though her young daughter was crusading the labyrinth, did she cut off her hair?

Leonhardt imagined a young and beautiful maiden like Miss Caroline cutting off her long hair. Actually, Emily, a ten-year-old billboard girl from "Yagoo's Bouncing Bridge Pavilion," just has a little bit of matching hair.

(To reward his devotion, he necessarily shoots the labyrinth and shows it.

Leonhardt renews his determination. I heard about the maiden's hair, and I felt like I could carry an air bag, but I could carry a long trachea, but I felt like I was going to go underwater to the tower.

"Marie, my dad cut my hair too much and he gave me such a beautiful ribbon -

Emily, the Shadow Merit of the Curse Serpent King Crusade, comes to visit "Wood Leaks Day" by tying her hair together with a new ribbon she got for the master of "Yagoo's Bouncing Bridge Pavilion". Whether you are tying it yourself, the height at which you bring your hair is different from left to right, or the ribbon is tied vertically is the usual thing.

Mariella and Caroline will tie him back clean and have a snack together. It's a peaceful scene from time to time.

Emily's ribbon is made of fabric delivered with the cost of holy water. According to deputy captain Mulroe's description of the fabric, 'I gave it from General Leonhardt in gratitude for the ingredients of holy water'. It's a fine fabric that's hard to come by in a labyrinth city. I don't know what General Leonhardt knows how far, but it's probably a gift for Emily, so I asked her to give it to the master of "Yagoo's Bouncing Bridge Pavilion" via Deputy Marlow.

Although I was very troubled by the reason because it was an expensive item, I was given the reason to accept it because it was "annoying at the Black Iron Transport Company's accommodation" in the "Can't sell it with water wet" fabric. When the master stared at the fabric, he said he looked soggy and said, "To Emily's bridesmaid clothes..." etc. I'm too fast.

In the end, Emily was in a super mood, although the only thing she gave Emily right away was the ribbon she made on the edge of the fabric.

By the way, Mariela's blissful sleeping time didn't come with any bonuses. Saying so swelled up, Zeke put three marshmallows in the cocoa for me.

The labyrinth city is already in winter. Mariela thought the time to relax with Sieg while sipping cocoa in front of the fireplace on a chilling night was priceless.
