Winnie yawned softly with her small hands over her mouth, half-lying on the reception table looking half-asleep, her blurry round eyes drooping and looking out the door.
The sky was heavy, the rain fell like silk and there was a rapid ticking sound, and occasionally thunder sounded, lightning thunderbolts, and startled a lot of people.
Maybe no one will come to such bad weather.
Winnie thought listlessly, yawning even more, her little hands tugging at the inside of the large cloak at her shoulders, and her whole petite body seemed to shrink into it.
A cold wind suddenly poured in, and Winnie shivered and looked up.
The door was opened, then shut.
Someone's coming.
Xia Lan put away the rain gear and shook the rain on it, the hem of her clothes and boots were already wet, her feet were shaking uncomfortably, and her eyes looked around the deserted hall.
Soon, he walked to the reception desk, where a little girl was looking at him with a sleepy face.
"Hello."
"Hello."
Winnie stood up and nodded her head in a bit of a panic, and she couldn't help but look embarrassed when she had just come back to her senses.
"Is there anything wrong?" Winnie asked politely as she returned to normalcy and became serious.
"I need a pharmacist." Charland Road.
"Excuse me... What do you need a pharmacist for? Winnie couldn't help but be surprised when she heard the word pharmacist.
"Heal the wounds."
"Oh... I see, I would like to ask, what kind of injury is it? Winnie asked curiously.
Xia Lan frowned lightly and looked at the little girl in front of her, there were some things that she should not ask, and he had no reason to answer.
Seeing the other party's silence, Junyi's tense cheeks also frowned, Winnie knew that she had upset the other party, so she quickly explained, "I'm sorry, because I'm also a pharmacist, so-"
"Pharmacist?"
A pharmacist at the reception desk? And a little girl? Xia Lan frowned and looked at her suspiciously.
"Yes... A junior pharmacist who just got promoted a few days ago. β
As she spoke, Winnie's tone showed pride, and she deliberately turned around and showed the back of the extremely ill-fitting big cloak wrapped around her body to the other party: "See, I'm not lying." β
Behind the large white cloak is a pale green pattern, with flowers and plants intertwined with the flames.
"Indeed." This time it was Xia Lan's turn to be a little surprised, he wouldn't think she was lying, because this is the Alchemy Association, no one has the guts to pretend, let alone a little girl.
"Hmph, maybe you can let me help you." Winnie turned around and said with a smug expression on her face.
"Sorry! What I need is a pharmacist at least intermediate. β
Xia Lan shook his head and refused, he did not deny the identity of this little girl, but it did not mean that he was willing to accept her advice, because his injury was not an ordinary injury.
"Why?" Winnie's cute little face showed dissatisfaction. "Are you doubting my potion level? I knew that everyone despised my youth. β
"I don't think that's the reason." Xia Lan shook her head and explained, "I don't doubt that you have a good talent as a pharmacist, but you can't cure my injuries. β
"How do you know I can't be cured?" Winnie said.
"Are you cured of the corrosion damage inside your body?" Xia Lan said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.
Winnie covered her mouth lightly, looking up and down at the handsome young man in front of her who looked like he was from a wealthy background, and what did he do to cause such a result, she was very curious.
"So, I'd like to ask you to do your job as a hospitality, and take me to a pharmacist who can cure me."
Hearing Xia Lan's next words, Winnie's little face furrowed slightly, as if thinking about something, and then asked him tentatively, "If I had a recipe for a medicine to treat this, would you agree to let me treat it?" β
"You?" Xia Lan looked down at the petite figure in front of her, and said in a tone that was obviously suspicious: "What is the reason? β
Winnie seemed to feel hope, and said with some active interest: "Because I have a cure for this, don't you think my talent is very good?" So you can rest assured that my treatment is cheaper than everyone else's, you see-"
"If you're sure you'll heal me inside within a month, I'll agree."
His injuries had to heal within a month, and the day he agreed to trade with her was not far off, and he couldn't let his injuries be a drag.
Now that he has been paid, he must fulfill the promise of the transaction.
"Within a month..."Winnie said with a bitter face and hesitation, "Does it have to be within a month?" β
"Yes." Xia Lan nodded.
"What if... I said what if it can't be cured? Winnie asked, sticking her head out.
"I'm going to die." Xia Lan's eyes became cold, staring at the other party and said, "You will die too." β
"Ahh
The murderous gaze made Winnie shrink and scream, she didn't know why he was so scary all of a sudden, but she sensed that he wasn't lying.
She hesitated even more.
Xia Lan looked at the little girl like this, he didn't lie, if he went to assassinate a peak swordsman before his injuries healed, he would probably die, and the person who caused this result he would kill her before he died.
But it was just an idea, and his purpose was only to make her hold back, because he still didn't believe that the little girl could heal his wounds, and she was tired of her constant sales to himself, so he wanted to send her away.
"I can be cured!"
The little girl who was at war between heaven and man suddenly got the courage out of nowhere, and raised her head to meet his dangerous gaze, but the constant trembling of her body betrayed her nervousness and fear.
"Are you sure?" Charland Road.
"Indeed... Are you sure! Winnie clenched her little fists as if to puff herself out.
"Hopefully you won't regret it." Xia Lan nodded.
"Absolutely... Absolutely no regrets! Winnie puffed up her little face and nodded, "Come with me to my laboratory, and I'll help you check your body." β
"Yes, butβ" Xia Lan looked at the little girl who had left the reception desk and said, "Don't you care about it here?" β
"No need! Now that I have guests, I don't need to earn a little bit of money for test materials here. Winnie didn't look back.
I see.
Xia Lan nodded and followed.
The promenade is quiet and uninhabited.
"Why don't you go to the church of the Radiant Sanctuary for healing? I think there should be the ability to heal your wounds better and faster. Winnie, who was bored on the road, poked her head out of her wide cloak and looked at Xia Lan on the side and asked.
"I don't like it there." Xia Lan replied simply.
"Yes! I don't like it there either! Hearing the other party's rejection of the church, Winnie seemed to have found a confidant and said angrily: "It's all their fault, so that we low-level pharmacists can't sell potions, and the subsidy in the association alone is not enough for us people to experiment, and the difficulty of promotion is also painful." β
"So you're working part-time as a hostess in the guild?" Xia Lan looked ahead, but her mouth responded.
"yes." Winnie hung her head and said, "But that little income is still not enough for my experiment." β
"Where's your mentor?" Xia Lan asked, "I think your talent must have a high-level title of pharmacy instructor, why didn't the mentor help you?" β
"Thisβ" Winnie whispered as she wrapped her cloak around her sides, "The teacher died a few years ago, and I inherited the property of the tutor, so I can't change the tutor like the other apprentices of the teacher, so I can only persist like this person." β
Xia Lan nodded, in the alchemy world, a high-level title of sorcerer has their own unique academics, if a student recognized by the tutor becomes the successor, then this student will also inherit all of them and cannot change the court, otherwise it will be a betrayal, and this kind of behavior will be rejected and despised by the entire alchemy world.
No wonder a young junior pharmacist had the guts to agree to his request, presumably her mentor had left her a fortune to heal his injuries.
"Speaking of which, isn't the laboratory generally a forbidden place for sorcerers?" Walking to the end of the corridor, he turned to an underground staircase to the right and asked.
"Because you're my first guest, I'll give you some special treatment." Winnie smiled.
The first...
Xia Lan shook her head and said, "Are you really sure?" β
"Thisβ" Winnie's pace slowed down a little, and she looked cautiously at his tense face and said, "If you're willing to sponsor me a trial fee, I'd like... You should be sure. β
"Money won't be an issue, but only if it has to be cured within a month." Xia Lan sighed softly.
"No problem! As long as I have money, I can buy any materials, and I can do whatever I want to do. At the mention of money, Winnie's little face became rosy and excited, "I think with my ability, it must be fine." β
"I hope so." Xia Lan nodded.
Regret it? There are some, but he won't think about regretting it.
Walking out of the stairs to a crossway illuminated by magic lamps, Winnie chose the path on the left and went straight ahead, the footsteps seemed to be absorbed by the surroundings without a single echo, presumably the walls here were mixed with some materials.
Alchemy is a vast discipline.
Since the birth of the Fernu Law, countless professions have been born, and alchemy is a great dream in people's initial thoughts, but in the end, a successful alchemist found that the cost of refining a piece of gold is often greater than the gold itself, so alchemy has transformed from the simplest purpose to a different path of development.
Alchemy has become a synonym by now, and although the paths of development are different, their methods are the same.
Engraved refining array, communication law, equivalent exchange.
This is the alchemist.
And pharmacists are just an ordinary branch.
One of the most important prerequisites for becoming an alchemist is to have the ability to communicate the laws, which is an innate talent, and not everyone can become an alchemist; Like magic, not everyone can feel cohesion.
Therefore, an alchemy apprentice may not become a good alchemist.
But an apprentice mage has the potential to become a good alchemist.
The magic lamp is a product that was once refined by a mage apprentice who had no hope of contacting alchemy.
Its appearance illuminated almost all of Elderland.
And there is such a saying in the alchemy world.
"Alchemy changes the world."
