"Hello, can I help with anything?"

Before Merlin had even entered the drugstore, he heard a sweet female voice in his ears, and when he opened the short curtain, he saw a girl with long blue hair and clear dark blue eyes standing behind the long counter, greeting him with a sweet smile.

"Hello." Merlin hurriedly bowed slightly, "Is this Granny Saki's pharmacy?" He asked, bored.

"yes, this is it. Do you have what you need? The girl greeted Merlin very patiently, "It seems that you are a trainer, are you here to buy medicines?" The girl said with a smile, "It just so happens that my mother-in-law has recently made a batch of finished products, and now it's really the right time." ”

Merlin was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, and he scratched his sideburns, "Then may I ask Granny Qi if she is not there?" ”

"Mother-in-law is right behind now." The girl looked a little puzzled by Merlin's appearance, "Did you come to visit your mother-in-law on purpose?" ”

"I guess so." Merlin continued to scratch her sideburns, "I wonder if Granny Saki is inconvenient for her to see me?" He said with a hint of pleading.

"Then please wait a minute, I'll go and ask my mother-in-law in the back." The girl nodded at Merlin, then turned to leave, apparently relieved to leave Merlin alone in the drugstore.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Merlin began to look at the drugstore, except for the huge entrance in and out, the remaining three walls of the entire drugstore were completely occupied by tall cabinets, and the partitions were neatly stacked with bottled and boxed finished potions, some of which were prepared medicinal herbs. Behind the long counter that leads to the door is a special medicine cabinet, on which each small drawer has the name of the medicinal herb placed in it, and on the other side is a cabinet dedicated to the finished medicine, on which are neatly arranged rows of clean and translucent glass bottles, all of which are full of various kinds of potions.

Standing in the pharmacy, taking a deep breath, what penetrates into the nasal cavity is the smell of medicinal herbs, fragrant or bitter, but they are all gifts of nature.

Curious, Merlin leaned over to the cabinet on his left and carefully examined the potions placed on it.

"Well, it's more like a juice in terms of color, and there's a huge difference between such a clear and translucent potion and a cloudy and heavy potion......" Standing in front of the bottles and cans, Merlin's part as a healer began to awaken, and he began to evaluate the eye-catching potion from a relatively professional point of view, "It is said that Granny Saki's potion is made from a decoction combined with tree fruit juice, but judging from the characteristics of the finished product, it is not simply so. Since the decoction is made of herbs, and the process of making zuò is steamed, it will inevitably be turbid and thicker, and the juice should not be so clear, and the juice squeezed out should still retain the fibers and tissues of the pulp......" his index finger rubbed against his own person, "it should have taken other means, but it is more like the so-called advanced modern medicine extraction technology." ”

Merlin, who was immersed in his own world, did not notice that there was an old lady with a willow-colored long face and a slightly stern face behind her, who was listening to Merlin's opinion with her hands behind her back.

"So transparent, so ......clear," Merlin said, leaning his face as close to the jar as he could, staring at the jar, "distillation with flames?" No, high temperature does extract some of the essence, but it also destroys some of the essence, at least not all of it. He continued to mutter, "Using the filtration and purification of water?" No, although the steamed soup will contain all the essence and active ingredients, over-filtering will consume them. ”

Listening to Merlin's self-talk, the old lady behind her showed a smiling face, and she suddenly said, "Why don't you use the electrical dissociation?" It can be both high temperature and purification. She spoke with a full sense of air, and there was a hint of majesty in it.

"yes, yes, yes." The old lady's reminder made Merlin suddenly brighten, he didn't seem to notice what the old lady behind him said, "But ......" praised for a while, Merlin shook his head again, "Although it is completely feasible in theory, but it is difficult to operate in practice, some medicinal materials need high temperature and enough energy to dissociate the active ingredients, while some medicinal materials are very delicate and only need a small amount of energy to dissociate......" He continued to touch the human center, "If it is really dissociated with electricity, It must be done with a Pokémon that is very precise in controlling electrical energy, or with a very precise machine qì to control zhì. Ordinary electric Pokémon only pursue strong power, but they lose accuracy when they have brute force, but Pokémon who are good at operating precise electricity will have a slight lack of strength. It seems like it's hard to achieve......"

"Baa Sheep, Cotton, and Electric Dragon, how about this series of Pokémon?" The old lady listened to Merlin's analysis, but her face showed a hint of joy, and she continued to ask.

"Well, this series may be able to do it, they are all good at operating precise electrical energy, as long as you practice and exercise a lot, you can make up for it in terms of high energy output." Merlin nodded and said in agreement, "But raising such a Pokémon is not something that can be done overnight." And in addition to the Pokémon that can be operated accurately, there are also extremely high requirements for the person who makes the zuò potions, and he or she must have extremely precise vision and experience to grasp the moment that is just right......"

"That's a good point." The old lady laughed heartily.

This smile immediately woke Merlin, who had been immersed in his own world, and he turned his head sharply to see the stern old lady laughing, the sweet girl with a little surprise, and a new face with a maroon mess, brown eyes, and a very ordinary face.

"Are you Granny Saki?" Merlin, who had guessed a little bit of the identity of the comer, said excitedly, "I've been looking forward to meeting you, and I've always been fascinated by the miraculous effects of the new potion you prescribed." ”

"Boy, I can see that you are quite talented and have enough basic skills, did you tell Peaches that you wanted to see me just to chase stars?" Granny Saki nodded and admitted her identity.

"Not exactly, I actually have a reluctant request." Merlin suddenly said, "If you don't mind, I'd like to study under your door for a while." ”

"Just studying for a while?" Granny Qi was not very happy when she heard this, "I see that you have a good talent and want to accept you as a real disciple." She said regretfully, "My two apprentices. She gestured slightly to the two behind her, "Peaches is not bad, but it will take some time to learn." The girl who was said hung her head reservedly, "As for Ryuta, it's still a long way off." Granny Saki shook her head, and the young man lowered his head in embarrassment.

"It's already a great honor for me to have your advice, how dare I expect you to pass it on?" Merlin hastened to explain, "I'm traveling as a trainer right now, and although I know a little bit about herbs, fruits, and some healing techniques, it's just to take better care of my companions. "While I'm really fascinated by medicine, I'm even more interested in completing my journey as a trainer." ”

"Hey, I'm obsessed with training again." Granny Qi sighed when she heard this, and seemed to be quite touched, "Every year, there are astronomical trainers who embark on a journey, and the geniuses among them are as numerous as the carp crossing the river, how easy is it to complete the path of a trainer?" Since you have other talents, you should work harder. "Don't wait until you've spent your years and then you won't regret it." ”

"I just enjoy the journey, I don't really care about anything else." Merlin laughed.

"Okay, since you insist, I won't persuade you much." Granny Qi sighed a few times with a little regret, "But let's let this old woman say a few more nonsense, and learning a few more other crafts when traveling will really come in handy in the future." Don't just travel, sometimes you still need to put a little more in your backpack. ”

Merlin nodded yes.

"It's not impossible to study with me." Granny Qi said with a smile, "But before you can study, you need to pass my test, and I will only consider teaching you for the time being." After studying, I also had to pass my test before I could leave. She smiled a little smugly.

"You just command." Merlin laughed too.

"First of all, the test before it begins." Granny Qi touched her chin, "I have planted some common herbs in the backyard, and you only use a maximum of ten herbs to match five kinds of herbs for me, and I ask for those that can dispel blood stasis, straighten out the breath, heal external wounds, treat poisoning, and relieve fatigue." She smiled at Merlin, the wrinkles on her face widened a lot, "At the same time, I also specifically requested that the five potions must be two decoctions, two pills, and one ointment. Can you do it? She looked at Merlin defiantly.

"Is there a time limit?" Merlin did smile even brighter.

"Since you took the initiative to ask me to add an additional time limit to you, according to the time of boiling the ointment, it should be set before sunset, this time should be enough, right?" Granny Saki was even happier when she looked at Merlin's confident appearance.

"I don't dare to hold it until I see what herbs are in your backyard," Merlin said cautiously, "but I'll do my best." ”

"Then I'll just wait for your good news." Granny Saki continued to laugh, "Momoko, you take this kid to the backyard, and if he needs something, take him to find it." At the same time, you supervise him for me. She said to Momoko, "I'll leave this little guest to you." ”

"Ah, yes, yes, I forgot to ask you what your name was after talking for so long." Granny Saki, who was about to walk back to the back room with Ryuta, suddenly turned around and asked Merlin, "Look at my memory, my future apprentice, what's your name?" She seemed to be sure that Merlin would be able to pass her own tests, and she began to call Merlin an apprentice.

"Merlin, Higashikawa Merlin." Merlin owes Okizaki and Momoko and Ryuta and says, "Please give me a lot of advice in the future." Merlin seemed to be somewhat sure that he would be able to stay.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Led by Momoko, Merlin came to the medicine garden in the backyard of the drugstore.

"There are about twenty common herbs grown here." Momoko explained to Merlin very thoughtfully, "But these herbs are basically adjuvants and adjuvants, and it is relatively easy to make blood stasis and heal external wounds, but it is more difficult to make medicines for regulating qi, detoxifying and restoring body fatigue. Momoko looked at Merlin with a little concern, "Isn't it a bit too harsh to be allowed to use only ten of these less than twenty herbs?" If you use even three or four other herbs, it won't be a problem. ”

"It's okay." Merlin carefully looked at the various medicinal materials in the medicine garden, and the medicinal properties of these medicinal materials kept flashing in his head, "If it were that simple, it wouldn't be a test." Merlin turned, took a basket from the shelf behind him, and walked to the medicine garden.

Bending down to take a few leaves from a low plant, Merlin said as if talking to himself: "Xiongcao is a good thing to dispel stasis, take its leaves and stems ......" As he spoke, he reached out and gently broke off a few branches and stems, and put them in the basket, "Boil it into a paste and add a little blood to make a very simple pill, which is very useful for blood circulation and blood stasis, even if the old stasis can be slowly dissolved, and there is no need to worry about removing stasis too violently and hurting the body." ”

Momoko listened carefully to Merlin's explanation, and even squatted down and followed him.

Merlin didn't care at all, and continued to pick medicinal herbs in the medicine garden, "Well, white tea hair can detoxify but can only detoxify the poison of plants and trees, and with the beans, it can greatly improve its detoxification effect, and at the same time, it also has enough relieving and relieving effects on gold poison and biological poison. Merlin nodded to himself as he spoke, "This way the two-flavor pill will be done." ”

Momoko actually found a small notebook in the back and began to take notes.

"Well, I'll take a look at it again, Danzhi with broken flowers and plants can regulate qi, and it can be boiled into a decoction......" Merlin pouted and walked around in the medicine garden, "Saffron with bamboo without roots and a little purple can be made into guaiac soup, although it is difficult to drink, but the medicinal effect is still good......" Merlin quickly turned around the entire medicine garden, and there was a small pile of various medicinal materials piled up in the basket, "There is still a plaster left to relieve fatigue," he continued to examine the medicinal materials in the medicine garden, "The medicinal materials can still be used in two flavors." He showed a little sleepy expression, "Ointment, relieve fatigue......"

Looking at the medicine garden in front of him, Merlin muttered for a while.

The peach behind her showed a bitter look, she really couldn't think of how to mix these herbs that she hadn't used to relieve fatigue, let alone make a cream.

"Aha, there you have," Merlin suddenly thought of something and called out happily, "I will feel tired, in fact, it is not smooth qi and blood, just use the external application site to promote blood and smooth qi, so the use of xiong grass, broken flowers and grass and hundred fibrous roots to boil into a paste should have enough effect." Mm-hmm, that's it. Merlin, who had figured it out, immediately took action to collect enough medicinal herbs.

"Miss Peach, where is the place to boil the medicine?" Merlin, who was holding the basket, asked Momoko.

Momoko still hadn't recovered from Merlin's sudden appearance, and she gestured to a small room not far away, indicating that medicine could be boiled there.

Merlin didn't bother to care much about her reaction, and walked straight into the hut with the basket in his arms. For these five medicines, he has to work hard for a while.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

When the sun was setting, Merlin, who was busy with the results, took five copies of the finished product to Granny Saki for judgment.

After Momoko and Merlin introduced each other and explained the ingredients and processes of the five small potions to Granny Saki, Granny Saki stepped forward with a stern expression.

She first walked in front of the two decoctions, picked up the medicinal soup and smelled it, sipped a little and tasted it, and then said in a tone: "Danzhi with broken flowers and plants can regulate qi and not hurt righteousness, it is really good, but the heat of this medicine is a little lacking and the selection of materials is not fine, the effect of the medicine is bound to be greatly reduced, and the effect of the medicine is too light. She shook her head, a look of regret, "It's a failure." ”

Hearing this, Merlin's face sank, and Peaches also felt nervous, but Long Tai was relieved.

Then she walked in front of the guaiac soup again, still smelling and tasting it, "Saffron with bamboo rootless and purple is a fierce medicine, it can indeed heal injuries, but if it is too domineering, it will hurt the body." Shaking his head again, "Still failing." ”

With the help of another two-flavor pill, I saw her pick up a pill and put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, then twisted it with her fingers, came to her eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, sniffed it again, and said: "Xiongcao can indeed dissolve blood stasis, but pill making is not the best choice, and this workmanship is too fine, the medicinal materials are not thoroughly boiled and not hot, and when the pill is rubbed, it is still supplemented by human blood, and the efficacy can only be said to be very inferior." She said sternly, "It is true that the combination of white tea hair and red beans can detoxify most of the poisons, but after matching, the efficacy is bound to be greatly reduced, and large doses are required to be effective. As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Merlin, her face full of regret, as if she had written "I misjudged you" on her face.

Merlin was just impressed and a little unconvinced.

"As for this ointment, it's quite attentive, but it's still not superb enough in terms of the processing of medicinal materials......" After she finished commenting on the five pairs of potions, she turned her back to Merlin and said in a cold voice: "Although you do have enough basic skills, your level is not enough, and your attitude is not good enough!" ”

Merlinton felt that he had no hope of learning the arts.

"But," Granny Saki's words softened suddenly, "it's because you still lack experience that you're worthy of my lesson." She suddenly smiled, "It's rare to have such a standard at your age." She walked up to the shocked Merlin and patted him on the shoulder, "Congratulations, Merlin, you have passed my quiz and can learn how to make my unique juice medicine from me." Seeing Merlin's look of surprise, Granny Qi suddenly became stern, "But don't take it lightly, if you can't pass my final test, don't just slip away." She said to Merlin with a straight face.

"Don't worry, if I don't learn a few of your skills, I won't be willing to go back empty-handed." After the ups and downs of the mood, Merlin finally relaxed at this moment. Not only to be happy to be able to learn this wonderful craft, but also to delay the time to go to the Golden City.

Going there was still a very tangled decision for Merlin, and it was impossible to tell whether he was more afraid or more expectant. The entanglement of mixed thoughts made Merlin fall into softness. Instinctively, he still chose to procrastinate to deal with this thorny problem.

Dala~~ I'm afraid that the network will be strange at eight o'clock, so update the bird in advance~

Then, the professional knowledge in the article is all nonsense~

Then, the answer to the question in the last issue: It was Yongjira who caused Nintendo to get into a lawsuit, because of the relationship between the image of his hand holding a spoon and his trick of bending the spoon, it was sued by the famous magician Yuri Geller for infringement, and now it seems that the magician lost the lawsuit (probably, I don't know the specifics~~), but because of this, Yongjira's image rarely appears on the screen positively~~

Finally, today's last question, simple: what kind of attribute is the ability attribute twice restrained? What stat does the ability attribute have no effect on at all (it requires the support of another special move to be effective)?
