"Ark?"

Tumon's injuries were more severe, but fortunately he seemed to have stopped the bleeding, and he would be fine after applying some potions and resting for a while, but Toomon's injuries immediately reminded Ark of the huge scar on Cely's arm. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Uncle Tumon, do you know what Sister Celie has been up to lately? She seems to be injured today, and she looks tired. ”

Ark couldn't help but ask.

Tumon shook his head and sighed, "You don't know, Celie has been really crazy this time, and she has taken on several dangerous missions in a row, no, I also followed Celie on a mission, and it turned out to be like this." Every time she approached the front line, she often encountered some soldiers of the Wesk Empire, and maybe even those terrible reformers. ”

After a pause, a hint of strange color flashed in Tumon's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Celie seems to be very short of money recently, do you know what's going on? If she is in trouble, you can tell us that we are all partners who live and die together, and we will definitely help her." But every time she completes the task and receives the commission, she goes to the potion workshop as soon as possible, and she doesn't buy healing potions, which is really strange......"

Tumon's words shook Ark's heart, and he instantly understood in his heart why Celie had been mysterious lately, every time she went out early and returned late, she was still so tired after being injured.

It turned out to be a mission, and it was a very dangerous mission, in the front line adjacent to the Wesk Empire, there were often reformers, and those evil reformers were all very terrifying, and if the mercenaries encountered them, they would basically suffer heavy casualties, and sometimes they would even be wiped out.

As a result, even adventurous mercenaries don't often take on dangerous missions close to the front line.

Ark had always suspected that the powder that Celie soaked him every day was probably a potion, because in Ark's memory, the apothecary workshop also sold a very magical potion.

Once that medicine is used, it can comprehensively improve the physical fitness of some people, especially those who use the medicine for the first time, and the effect is very obvious.

But the only problem is that it is expensive, every potion, even the cheapest potion, as long as it can enhance physical fitness, then it is sky-high, at least one gold coin is needed.

For the average family, a gold coin is almost an unimaginable wealth, and such an expensive potion requires even adventurers to accumulate a long commission before they can afford to buy it.

It is possible that Celie is trying to get a lot of commissions, so she goes to claim some high-risk quests, and then uses the commissions earned from the quests to buy potions.

"Ark, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Ark was stunned, Tumon asked suspiciously.

"Oh, nothing. Uncle Tumon, you and Sister Celie are both from the same mercenary group, please help Sister Duoduo. ”

"Haha, that's natural, Celie once saved my life, we have a lifelong friendship. ”

Tumon grinned.

Ark handed over the goods to Victor in a daze, and even Victor deducted a silver coin, but Ark didn't pay attention to it.

Back at the grocery store, Old York was furious, cursing all the time, but Ark didn't care, his mind was full of the potions that Celie had brought him.

In order to buy the potion, Celie was almost desperate, and for a while, Ark's mood felt very heavy, and even Jack could see that Ark was absent-minded, and asked several times, but Ark shook his head and was reluctant to say.

Finally waiting for dusk, after closing the door of the shop, Ark hurried home.

"Amy, is Miss Celie back?"

Little Amy nodded, then pointed to the back and said, "Sister Celie will go to practice swords as soon as she comes back." ”

Ark came to the back of the house and saw Cele in leather armor wielding a large sword practicing swordsmanship, and it was supposed to be a complete set of swordsmanship, not the basic swordsmanship practiced by Ark.

After about half an hour of practice, Celie stopped, she was already sweating profusely, she was so tired that she was panting, and her full breasts were constantly rising and falling, but there was no temptation.

Ark walked up, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the scar on Celie's arm, which seemed to be much better, nothing serious, and made Ark feel a little relieved.

"Celie. ”

Ark shouted with a serious expression.

Celie was surprised, and said nonchalantly, "Dear Ark, what's the matter with you?"

"Sister Celie, the powder you soaked me in the other day is a potion, right? Today I met Uncle Tumon in the potion workshop, and he said that you have recently taken on some very dangerous tasks, and it seems that you are very short of money. I'd like to beg you not to take any more risks on those dangerous missions, or I won't use them even if you give me them again!"

Celie was shocked, and then she slowly turned around, saw Ark's serious face, and realized that Ark knew the truth of the matter.

After a long time, Celie laughed with a "flutter".

"Little Ark, it seems that you have indeed grown up! Well, this is the last pack of potions, the Wesk Empire seems to have made some moves on the border recently, all the mercenaries have been withdrawn, and I will not take on those dangerous missions again. ”

After that, Celie took out another packet of potions from her body, which seemed to have some sweat and the mixed smell of Cilie's fragrance, and she smelled a little uncomfortable. However, Ark was very touched in his heart, Uncle Reiner's family never treated him as an outsider, and took care of him since he was a child, even his eldest sister Celie, who often teased him, bought expensive potions for him to improve his physical fitness, and even took risks to take on some very dangerous tasks.

"Your physical fitness has improved a lot in the past few days, right? Master Cologne's potion is still very good, pick up the sword, let me see if you have been lazy during this time." ”

Celie was holding a big sword in her hand, looking like she was ready to fight.

Ark took a deep breath, and then picked up a big sword directly from the weapon rack, this big sword weighed ten pounds, it was difficult for Ark to lift it before, but now with the improvement of his physical fitness, he can barely pick up the big sword.

"Attack me with all your might. ”

Celie shouted.

"Then you have to be careful. ”

Ark is not polite, but he knows the terrifying power contained in the body of an ordinary woman, which is completely a beast-like physique, and his small arms and legs really don't have to worry about hurting Celie.

So, Ark brandished his great sword and attacked Xili, and every move and style was used very skillfully and coherently, obviously the result of practicing basic swordsmanship during this time.

Of course, Celie is not something that Ark can hurt even if she stands still, seeing the basic swordsmanship performed by Ark, Celie's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, she nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, your basic swordsmanship seems to have been introduced, but you have to make persistent efforts, the basic swordsmanship is the most basic of all swordsmanship, and the foundation of the basic swordsmanship must be solid, and you can quickly get started when you come into contact with other swordsmanship in the future." ”

Immediately afterwards, Celie demonstrated the basic swordsmanship for Ark again, and Celie's realm must be far more than just getting started, but a more advanced realm, each of her swords is faster than Ark's, with greater power, and more coherent moves, almost at her fingertips.

Celie's demonstration made Ark know the gap, and the little pride in his heart disappeared completely.

......

Ark got another packet of potions from Sister Celie, and this pack of potions was also the last pack, and Ark soaked it for several days, and his physical fitness improved significantly.

While his physical fitness is improving, Yak is also practicing basic swordsmanship, and he is working harder every day, almost every day when he goes home until night, and he can contact a total of thirty plaques of basic swordsmanship.

In this way, in just six days, Ark's basic swordsmanship had been promoted again, reaching the level of "proficiency".

Constitution: 0.90

Power: 0.88

Speed: 0.70

Basic Swordsmanship: 10/400 (Proficient)

With the help of the effect of the potion, Yake's physique and strength have been greatly improved, and even the speed has increased a little, and the basic swordsmanship can still continue to improve after reaching "proficiency", but this time it needs to be practiced four hundred times to continue to improve.

During this time, Yak's physical fitness has improved rapidly, and he is almost close to the physical fitness of an adult, which is actually quite rare for him as a fourteen-year-old boy.

It's just that Yak has been very distressed recently, because the potion has run out, and his physical fitness has hardly improved in the last two or three days. Although Yak didn't want Sister Cely to take risks to take on a mission to provide him with the potion, the effect of the potion was indeed obvious, and if he wanted to improve his physical fitness quickly, he would have to continue to use the potion.

It's just that every potion is extremely expensive, and the potion can't be repeated yet, otherwise the effect will be very weak. With Ark's monthly salary of ten copper plates, even if he has been working for decades, he can't buy a potion.

Therefore, other options have to be considered.

Making money to buy potions is undoubtedly unrealistic in a short period of time, and even if Ark has a smart brain, he doesn't have the ability to make a lot of money in a short period of time.

If he goes to be a mercenary like Sister Xili, with his current strength, even ordinary adults may not be able to fight, and being a mercenary is almost looking for death.

Therefore, neither approach is advisable.

After a few days of contemplation, Ark didn't think of a way, the only feasible way was for Ark to make his own potion, if he could make the potion himself, then the cost would be much less.

Ark often delivered materials from the potion workshop, and he knew very well that one ingredient could make more than ten potions, and old York only charged a measly three to five silver coins.

And after the potion is prepared by the potion workshop, each copy is at least ten silver coins or more, and ten copies can be sold for at least a hundred silver coins, which is dozens of times the huge profit.

If Ark could make his own potions, he wouldn't have to spend all that unjust money.

It's just that the only problem is that Ark can't make potions, and the only people in the entire city of Cansley who can make potions are the master of the potion workshop and his apprentices.

After much deliberation, Ark finally decided that he would strive to become an apprentice in the apothecary workshop no matter what, so that he could learn to make potions.

If you can become an apprentice to the old man of Cologne, whether it is status, status, or future, it is far from being comparable to a guy in a stingy old York shop.

However, how to become an apprentice in the apothecary workshop stumped Ark.
