Chapter 146: Mushrooms and R&D

Humans who eat Chaos mushrooms will have endocrine disorders and become irritable.

Green estimated that it would definitely not work to sell Chaos Mushrooms as high-grade ingredients, but maybe they could be sold as Raging Elixirs.

Looking at the mess in the tavern and the dark face of the tavernkeeper, Green felt very sorry as the initiator, and then Green left the tavern before the tavernkeeper found out about the problem!

Carrying a duffel backpack full of mushrooms, Green and Chikage slipped out of the tavern and left Eagle's Nest ahead of schedule, intending to head to Izeta.

Located in the upper reaches of the Tara River, Izeta is an important city in the northeastern part of the Kingdom of Norsbod, and further east is the Elven Forest, where the elves live. The inhabitants of Izeta are mainly half-elves, followed by humans, in addition to a number of halflings and dwarves.

As a city dominated by half-elves, Izeta has a good relationship with the elves of the Elven Forest. Here, you can not only buy magic herbs and spices from the Elven Forest, but also many potion masters! Izeta's magical potions were famous throughout the kingdom of Norsbod.

The main purpose of Green's trip to Izeta was to entrust Izeta's apothecaries to study the properties of the Chaos Mushroom and see if they could be processed into potions.

Rushing is a very boring and boring act.

Two days later, Green met a caravan bound for Izeta. It was a caravan of five wagons, accompanied not only by guards but also by priests. After paying a fee, Green hitchhiked into the caravan.

The monster tide in the north is more serious, but this also makes it rare to see large beasts in the wild to a certain extent, and even subhuman creatures such as goblins and kobolds are much less than in the south. Therefore, the caravan encountered no danger on the way, and reached its destination without incident: Izeta.

Built on a hill, Izeta has two walls and a moat, as well as a magic tower that can be seen even from outside the city.

At the gates of the city walls, Green bid farewell to the caravan and entered the vibrant and thriving city along the pedestrian walkway.

Most of the buildings in the city are made of stone, and stone from the Annarinar crater is the best building material. Most of the houses were two- or three-story buildings, with shops on the ground floor and residences on top – Izeta was more in line with Green's image of the city than the Eagle's Nest, which is a combination of disconnected towns.

After questioning a few local residents, Green arrives at a tavern called Oak Leaf.

The tavernkeeper was a middle-aged, half-elf male, with long gray-green hair tied into a single ponytail and some wrinkles faintly visible on his forehead.

After booking a hotel room with the owner, Green struck up a conversation with the tavern owner behind the bar.

"Boss, do you know which pharmacists in the city have the ability to develop potions?" Green asked.

"Pharmaceutical R&D capabilities? That's an interesting question. The half-elf looked Green up and down, and then at the maid lady standing behind Green, "Do you want to develop something?" ”

"Yes. I had found some magical plants and wanted to see if I could make something out of them, so I came to Izeta to work with the apothecaries here. ”

"I see." The tavern owner thought for a moment, "Recently, the second lady of the Izeta family and Miss Merily from the Alchemy Atelier of Merily in the west of the city have launched new alchemy products, if you are interested, you can go and check them out?" ”

"Melily's Atelier?" Green seemed to be intrigued, "Can you tell me what this Miss Merlily has invented?" ”

"Wait a minute." The tavern owner walked to the kitchen at the back of the tavern, and after a while, took a brown egg out and placed it in front of Green, "This is it. ”

Green looked at the thing in front of him that looked like an egg no matter how he looked at it, and he was dazed: "What is this?" ”

"Miss Melily's new dish, "Yoyo Egg"!"

"Dangyo Egg? Cuisine? Green was stunned, raised his head and looked at the tavern owner with a blank expression, "Isn't it an alchemy workshop?" Why does Atelier study cooking? ”

"Cooking medicine and cooking is pretty much the same. Since the alchemy workshop can study potions, it's normal to study cooking by the way, isn't it? The tavernkeeper said in a tone of course.

Green looked at the egg in front of him blankly: "It seems that this Miss Merlily is very special." ”

"Oh, yes. Dangling eggs, five copper coins. The tavern owner knocked on the table and motioned for Green to give the money.

Green silently took out his wallet: "Isn't this price a little too high?" ”

"The price is a bit high, but it tastes really good."

"Really?" After paying, Green picked up the egg on the table and knocked it on the table, intending to peel the shell.

"Wait." The tavernkeeper took a spoon from under the bar and handed it to Green, "You'll need this to eat." ”

"Spoons?" Green looked at the spoon handed over by the tavernkeeper, and then at the egg in his hand.

"Yes."

"I see." Green took the spoon and continued to peel the eggshell, and when the eggshell was peeled off, what appeared in front of Green was an elastic, jelly-like white gel.

A jelly-like white object, dangling on the eggshell, seemed to be ready to shatter at any moment.

"Huh? It seems to be kind of interesting. Green took a bite of it.

Moment! The egg melts in the mouth, and a fragrance spreads in the mouth.

"How? Tastes good, right? The tavern owner asked happily.

"Hmmm! Exceptional food. It melts in your mouth and feels like you're drinking water. After sucking off the top layer, Green picked up the spoon and began digging through the remaining eggs in the shell.

The tavernkeeper smiled slightly.

Soon, Green ate the egg in his hand.

"Does that Miss Melily have any other invention than the 'Dangyoyo'?"

"Hmm...... And exploding mushrooms, singing strawberries, well, a lot. ”

Greene: "Why do these names sound like food?" Did she really run an alchemy workshop? ”

"No, the exploding mushroom is a weapon, and the singing strawberry is a medicine for the throat."

"Huh...... I see. Sounds like a great alchemist. ”

"Of course."

"And what about the second lady of the Izeta family? You just put her alongside Miss Melily, which means she's pretty good too, right? ”

"I don't know if it's powerful or not, but you can go to the inner city wall next time you go shopping. The thorns on the outside of the inner walls were the work of the young lady. The tavernkeeper paused, "But if you want to entrust her with your work, that's probably unlikely." ”

"I understand. After all, it's the second lady of the Izeta family, who rules the area. ”
