With Jason's help, the plan to enter the Pharmacists' Association went more smoothly than expected. Under the explanation of the newly transferred captain, Lothar's visit quickly turned into a long-awaited meeting that Baron Gray was eagerly awaiting. The group was not questioned again after entering the station.

Passing through the gate, a very large hall unfolded, and many people could be seen coming and going between the rooms connected to the hall, some of them were the apothecaries of the place, and some of them were the guards in charge of internal security.

The guards inside the station were much lighter than their counterparts outside the door, and they wore strange masks on their faces. This is because their duty is not only to defend against the enemies who are trying to invade here, but also to rescue those pharmacists when they have an experimental accident. Don't think it's easy work, the number of people who die in various alchemy accidents every year is also a very impressive number.

"Did things go a little too well?and when did Jason become the captain of the royal guard?" asked Jack, who was walking beside Cheese and pretending to help him with his belongings, whispered to the mage.

"Yes, I think that's the normal way to go. Rather, if a Kingdom Count and the captain of the guard in charge of guarding it could not allow us to enter smoothly, the defense of this garrison would be too much. The mage replied, "As for Jason, I asked him to come to this operation in the first place in the hope that he would play this role. Now it seems that he is doing far better than I thought. ”

As the two exchanged words in a low voice, Jason, who was leading the team at the front, began to explain the internal structure of the station to several people. Of course, his words sounded like a routine warning to the other patrolling guards and passing apothecaries, not to run around.

"Alright guys, this pharmacist guild has four floors. As you can see, the building has a cylindrical structure, with a patio on the second to fourth floors, in addition to the lobby on the first floor, to ensure that more sunlight can enter. After all, there are still a lot of precious herbs in this building, and they still have high requirements for light. So, be careful not to fall down these floors. ”

Walking through the halls of the Apothecary Guild, the strong smell of herbs filled the building, not only on the passing pharmacists and their assistants, but also from the large number of plants placed in the hall that emitted a calming scent.

"Tranquility grasses, the smell they emit can make people feel calm. Many scholars have a plant on their workbench to concentrate. The witch told the origin of the plants, which may explain why the atmosphere in the building was so quiet.

"No wonder they seem completely unconcerned about what's going on around them. Jack was referring to the pharmacists walking down the corridors, each of whom was dressed in white robes with vine ornaments, looking intently at the book or scroll in his hand, or striding eagerly towards a certain room, completely oblivious to the surrounding events.

"In fact, the smell of tranquility is an inhaled toxin that does have a calming effect when inhaled in trace amounts. However, if you live in an environment densely scented with the scent of Ningshen grass for a long time, human beings will gradually lose their ability to respond to external stimuli, and over time they will have a very obvious tendency to be autistic. Cheese said.

"So you're saying that the pharmacists of the Apothecary Guild have been committing suicide all along?" said Lothar with some surprise, as the earl of the Greylion Kingdom, what the mage said could not be regarded as unpopular knowledge. These pharmacists are all important people in the Kingdom.

"It's not that serious, and it will take at least ten years for the side effects of Ningshen Grass to appear. During this period, as long as you regularly leave this environment for a period of time, the human body can eliminate the toxins accumulated in the body on its own. Cheese shrugged, "But there's another lesser-known use of the Tranquility Herb. ”

After the mage finished speaking, he walked to a calming grass in the hallway, reached out and tore off a leaf, crushed it with his fingers, put it under his nose, and carefully inhaled it.

"By watering these plants with flower fertilizer dissolved in a special agent, you can change the composition of their scent and turn them into natural living hallucinogen generators. ”

Cheese's words made the rest of the team tense, and although they didn't immediately draw their weapons, they had already tensed their muscles, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Don't worry, as far as I know, the formula of that potion is still the patent of one of my classmates, so I'll just talk about it casually. ”

"Whew...... Can you please not scare us? Isn't the atmosphere tense enough?" Lothar said, lowering her hand from the hilt of her sword. Due to his entry into the Apothecary Guild, his big axe could not be brought in anyway.

The mage shrugged his shoulders and wiped the grass juice off his hand with a handkerchief. Apologize for your behavior that has frightened your peers.

"My lords, if it's okay, we're going to go to the second floor. You know, Master Gray's office is on the third floor. Please don't keep him waiting too long. Jason's voice rang out, and he motioned for the group to move on.

"Wait, you said Baron Gray's office is on the third floor, and where is the fourth floor?" asked Cheese. Generally, in this kind of building, the more important rooms will be placed on the upper floor, and Gray's identity is the disciple of the president of the Apothecary Guild, or the baron of the kingdom, with his identity, the location of the office should be at the highest level.

"I don't know. The first floor is where ordinary pharmacists operate, the second floor is the herbal medicine cultivation room and laboratory, and the third floor is the office and independent laboratory of several adults. As for the fourth floor, I have no way of knowing. Jason said and pointed his finger at his head with a wry smile of helplessness on his face.

"Well, I think we'll find a way to get some inquiries from Baron Gray when we meet him. Knowing that the other party had no reason to lie, Cheese nodded and said.

Just as the group walked up the stairs to the second floor, Jack, who was walking at the end of the line, suddenly sensed something and glanced back at the uninhabited corridor. It's just that he doesn't seem to have found what he's looking for. Considering that the pollen in the building made his nose very uncomfortable, Wolfwalker took this feeling as an illusion and did not delve into it.
