71. Alchemy practice
Lan didn't know what the sorceress academy expected of him in the future.
He just felt a chill now.
"What kind of shit class strength brings warmth......" The Witcher Shattered Thoughts. It's so cold! ”
"These gold coins are too cold!"
The huge money bag, which was heavy, even a little cumbersome, flew up and down in Lan's hand.
These gold coins represent the cold and ruthless laws of interest in this world, and represent the dirty power and power in the world...... But they're in too much!
So much so that when the demon hunter muttered to himself, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.
The huge money bag is the weight that makes even the cold witcher grin!
1,500 Oren coins, although I don't know how to make a thin air more than half of what is said, but this is a good thing.
Margarita gave him cash directly.
It allows him to directly connect with the institutions in the academy that are responsible for selling and selling.
The academy itself is also a complex force, and if the witcher is allowed to pick things directly from the reserve, they will even have to set up a special valuation and monitoring position for him.
However, if you take the money to "buy" from the unit that is already in charge of sales affairs, then you can save a lot of worry in the administrative procedures.
At this time, Rann bought the temporary right to use an alchemy classroom in the Erethusa Academy for 10 Oren a day.
Should it be said that it is worthy of a magic academy? The price alone is convincingly high.
"But it's worth it, sir."
Mentos reminded in Lanne's mind.
"Alchemy is a technique with a fixed process, and we have the ability to become familiar with it and master it in a very short time, but only if we have the environment and equipment that meets the requirements of the process. For this alone, Eritusa offers us more than just 10 Oren. ”
"I know, I know...... But I'm the one who paid for it, is it wrong for me to say two words? ”
While talking to Zhi Brain, Lan En walked to the alchemy classroom he had booked.
The room in which he was accommodated was on the ground floor of the castle on this huge island, which was known as the Palace of Locha.
The decoration is magnificent and has an excellent artistic aesthetic, and it is only possible to visit this floor when the king or his cronies come to the academy for a major gathering.
But what Lanne was going to now was the teaching area above the Loxia Palace.
Arriving at the door of the alchemy classroom, the little girl with brown hair and gray eyes was already waiting there with a huge package.
"Good morning, my lord."
"Arya, again, I'm not an 'adult'...... I don't know where you learned this troublesome etiquette? ”
Lan En shrugged helplessly, reaching out to pick up the package in Arya's hand as she dodged.
This is the raw material for this alchemy exercise, although the package looks large, but most of them are fluffy things such as plant leaves, so they are not heavy.
The group of four who originally came to Goth Willen, Yorke had already returned to the crow's nest that day.
But Arya, the little girl, refuses to be separated from Lanen and asks about her hometown and family.
You'll jump out of some words that no one knows, "Winterfell", "Icewolf's family coat of arms" or something.
Margarita was more of a pleasure than a politician, but she was also a knowledgeable sorcerer.
But she didn't know anything about what Arya was talking about.
Seeing that this girl was determined to become the main character in the knight's story, Margarita did not arrange for her to work in the town to make a living, and it was better to give Lan an attendant.
Arya seemed to know very well how to be a good squire, and not an ordinary squire, but the kind of squire who was dedicated to the service of noble knights.
"I bought ten ounces of honeysuckle, three bottles of high-purity dwarven spirits, and twenty ounces of sun-dried black reed petals from the academy at your request......"
The little girl took out a note from her trouser pocket and swallowed nervously, reporting one by one.
Lan felt like she was on her first day, nervous and excited about the fear of a new employee who would not perform well.
Even if you've never seen witchers and magic, you wouldn't be in this mood, would you?
Lan En was a little helpless, "You don't have to be so nervous, today is a practice, and I don't know what I can make." ”
"Oh, oh, yes, my lord!"
Not again.
Lan En pursed his lips and pushed open the door of the classroom, thinking to himself that this child could not be the blood relative who was teleported here from some remote kingdom, right?
This kind of words and deeds are not standard, that is really stylish.
Entering the alchemy classroom, Lan En felt like he had returned to the chemistry laboratory of his home world.
School-level, of course.
Look at the familiar distillation flasks, beakers, graduated cylinders, mortars, test tube racks......
Although the glass craft of this world is not yet widespread, the mages can always enjoy the best.
"Wuhu! I feel like I'm starting to get my proficiency up before I even do it, Mentos. I was a good old NB in my high school chemistry lab class! ”
Lan En was overjoyed to see something familiar.
But Mentos was pouring cold water on it.
"This is your delusion, sir. All of these labs use rough processed raw materials, which is a far cry from the precise-purity prefabricated chemicals you would use on campus. ”
The subtext is: I think just trying to grasp the concentration is enough for you to worry.
Lan En didn't care, and the package with the raw materials in his hand rested on the table.
The orange light of the Ignifa seal on his hand flashed, and the candles in the alchemy classroom lit up with a "poof".
"Start practicing, build a project, potion [Swallow]."
Once Lanne's order was given, Mentos went into auxiliary work.
"Accept the instruction, the alchemy assistance begins, the alchemy formula of [Swallow] has been entered, and the process is ......"
Mentos' complete memory ability made Lan's alchemy go very smoothly.
...... At least it looks like it's going well.
He had no clue about entering an unfamiliar experimental site.
In the eyes of Arya, a bystander, a large number of strange-shaped glassware is already dazzling, and it is even more terrible to put them together, but Lan En, who is here for the first time like her.
But it was as if he had memorized the placement of all the utensils at a glance, and when he needed to use a certain vessel, he would never lower his head and look around for comparison, but would reach out and grab it, and use it as soon as he caught it.
The raw materials will first pass through a small balance called the special medicine in his hand.
However, this weighing process often does not last more than five seconds before being transferred to a mortar or distillation flask......
The Witcher's potion recipe is made for hunting, and it won't be as complicated and terrifying as the academic potions.
After a series of actions, Lane left behind a large pile of labware that needed to be cleaned.
The witcher gave Arya the task of cleaning the lab equipment, telling her to rinse it with water at least three times and dry it upside down.
"Thirty minutes, a bottle of [swallow]...... It's too inefficient. ”
Lan En took the orange-red potion in his hand and frowned.
Mentos also stepped back from assist mode.
"Skill parsing. Alchemy -23%...... With all due respect, sir. Before we start to improve efficiency, it's best to make sure that this is a bottle of [Swallow]. ”
The young witcher raised an eyebrow indifferently, and took a sip of the orange elixir to his lips.
After tasting it for a moment, he swallowed it with an embarrassed face.
“...... You're right, Mentos. ”
Lan En stiffened.
"It's a vitamin-rich bottle of alcoholic beverage at best."
The first alchemy exercise – failure.
