73. Help you get home

Lan En completed his physical recovery in the morning and arrived at the alchemy classroom at noon.

At dinner time, Arya returned to the door of the alchemy classroom.

She holds two smoked fish sandwiches, grilled ham, baked apples and an oyster bisque.

A large plate full of them.

This is actually the amount of the two of her and Lan En, because Arya feels a little troublesome to eat after delivering food to Lan En.

Walking in the corridors of the Erethusa Academy, Arya would always look left and right curiously.

Although her previous home was not the kind of person who lacked lighting at night, it certainly couldn't compare to the Academy of Magic.

The candles in the Erethusa Academy were so numerous and bright that the environment was so lit that it didn't look like it was lit by the light from the candles.

This is a small improvement made by the warlocks who discovered the principle of light reflection, using magic.

It is said that the mage who improved the lighting also left a self-portrait on the wall of the academy because of this contribution.

Arya knocked on the door of the alchemy classroom and walked inside.

Lan En had instructed that there would be no big alchemy experiments today, just knock on the door and come in, and nothing would be disturbed.

"My lord, I brought your dinner."

Arya was carrying a large dinner plate and couldn't look through the glass opening in the door.

So as soon as she entered the door, she saw Lan En sitting on a chair in the classroom, rubbing her face with both hands, looking tired and confused.

The whole classroom didn't feel at all like "nothing messy" as she said during her lunch break.

The mortar was filled with all sorts of crushed herbs, the distillation bottle contained half a bottle of liquid of indescribable color, and the crumbs of dried herbs littered the table......

"I'm so stupid...... I was stupid enough to know that it would take ten hours to learn a potion, but I didn't know how those ten hours were arranged. ”

This muttering gave Arya a little bit of a turn, and she tentatively shouted again.

"Your Excellency?"

"Huh?"

Lan En's hand rubbing his face was lowered and his head was raised.

The black veins on his face and the light black stasis around his eye sockets made Arya let out a small exclamation.

"Ahh My lord! How do you ......"

Lan En was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"Oh, don't be afraid. We witchers have been overwhelmed with drugs, and that's it. ”

As he spoke, he grabbed a beaker from the table at hand, and drank the milky liquid from it.

Then the black blood vessels and orbital stasis subsided in a few breaths.

[Vitamin alcoholic drink with a slight detoxification effect].

That's what Mentos called the [white honey] defective product made by Lanen.

There are a lot of things going wrong with today's practice schedule, after all, it's the first time.

Lan En didn't expect that to identify the medicinal power of medicinal herbs, it was not enough to use extraordinary senses.

If you want to make a high-grade potion, you have to recognize the herbs when they are crushed, right? You have to recognize it if it's distilled, right?

In these cases, you still have to have experience in estimating the power of medicine, right?

So what else is there to say? Taste it!

Then a large bag of rough-processed medicinal herbs was made into various forms by Lan En.

Everyone should smell and taste, and accumulate experience about the power of medicine.

Yes, the proficiency of [Alchemy] has skyrocketed, and it is now 44%.

Regarding the limited number of medicinal materials such as honeysuckle and black reed petals, Lan En now knows whether the quality is good or not, and whether the medicinal power is strong or not.

With the alchemy recipe to make the increase or decrease as appropriate, you can even produce some simple goods.

But the price is - even with the anti-toxicity of the demon hunter, after tasting this big bag of medicinal herbs, the toxicity is starting to increase a little.

As a last resort, in order to maintain this highly effective learning method, Lan En changed the first item to be tackled from [Swallow] to [White Honey].

It belongs to the simple antidote while tasting the herbs.

Fortunately, all of Lan En's expenses were now borne by the 1,500 Oren, otherwise he would not have dared to abuse things so badly.

Rough-processed herbs are no better than wild herbs, and it is a matter of course to increase the price.

Without this money, it is estimated that if Lan En wants to improve his proficiency in [Alchemy], it will be like squeezing toothpaste.

If you have a small amount of money, you will buy medicinal herbs and equipment, and then make it, fail, save money and start over, and so on.

For a demon hunter who doesn't know how many commissions he can receive in a month, it may take half a year for him to learn how to refine a potion.

Work and study, these are two extremely time-consuming things, let alone rushing together?

Thankfully, someone is now paying for the cost of his studies.

"Don't worry about Arya, eat first, I'll clean the classroom with you today."

Lan En rubbed his forehead and said.

obviously said that the classroom would not be very dirty, and asked the family to go back to rest, and in a blink of an eye, it made such a puddle.

Although the other party is now his own attendant, Lan En is still very embarrassed.

The two of them cleared out a fairly clean table together and sat down to eat together.

The witcher glanced at Arya, who was acting unusually, and narrowed his eyes.

The little girl knew a lot about knightly etiquette and the duties and rules of a squire.

Although some of them are different from those of the northern countries, they don't look like fakes from the perspective of the cumbersome rituals.

At most, it is a difference between countries.

In the final analysis, there is a set of aristocratic rules that act as the logic behind it.

But at the same time, a well-behaved attendant naturally eats at the same table with her followers at this time, without inhibitions.

Familiar with the rules of the aristocracy, but can subconsciously ignore the class differences in such rules.

In other words, in this set of rules, she is rarely in a low, disadvantageous position.

...... The heir of a top nobleman?

While eating a smoked fish sandwich, Lan En accosted Arya.

"Let's talk about your hometown, Arya."

"Huh?"

The little girl who was eating with her cheeks puffed out suddenly became alert like a squirrel and looked at Lan En.

"I don't want to go back!"

The witcher smiled.

She didn't resist going home out of fear or fear, at least not entirely.

It's more because of ...... It's fun outside, and resist going home.

This shows that her family environment is actually quite good.

"I haven't asked you how old you are, Arya."

Lan asked without looking up, as he ate.

The girl ate and didn't speak, and Lan didn't seem to notice anything.

"Look at your skeleton, nine? Ten years old? ...... Oh, it's ten years old. It's really a playful age. ”

The little girl's movements gave the answer, and Lan nodded and continued.

"You may not know how dangerous the world can be for a ten-year-old girl, Arya. After all, I broke them down shortly after you were captured by human traffickers, and you haven't even seen them torture their captives, have you? ”

"So, the trafficking camp makes you feel a little bit of excitement, and it's probably just the moment you jump off the ship, you get a little scared. But only for a moment. ”

"According to you, it has been four or five days since you left your family. In these four or five days, you have met witchers, you have seen magic, you have seen alchemy, you feel that the world is new and interesting, but your home is boring. But, ah, Arya......"

Lan En tilted her head at Arya, who was sitting next to her.

"In the past four or five nights, have you really not felt the fear of being helpless, and you still miss your family?"

The little girl's chewing mouth gradually stopped, and her hands slowly lowered the food in her hands, and she did not return her mouth again.

"So, stop the knight's tale presping game and give me some information, Arya."

The witcher reached out and snapped his fingers in front of the little girl, startling her.

The witcher laughed.

"I want to try to help you get home."
