Chapter 33 Creating a flavorful love
In the alchemy room of the temple, Victor sat on a chair with a serious look. The current situation did not allow him to be careless. Scientific progress inevitably involves sacrifices, and the final process of ancient medicine development is indispensable for Shennong to taste the medicine himself.
After a moment of hesitation, he raised his neck, took a deep breath, and drank a tube of light green medicine.
Victor tried to concentrate on feeling the changes in his body, and as the effect of the medicine took effect, the boy slowly let out a primitive and desolate low roar.
Outside the lattice window, the signs of a summer afternoon thunderstorm came so violently that in just half an hour, dark clouds covered the sun and the sky was dark gray near night.
Finally... the boy showed a relieved and satisfied smile. The preparation of the medicine was very successful. He inserted a dozen medicines prepared in the same batch into the test tube rack and put them into the preservation box.
Victor was in a very good mood with the box tucked under his armpit. Next, he should go to find Sister Nenneke to report his results.
As the saying goes, if you don't return to your hometown when you are rich, it's like walking in the night in a gorgeous dress. It means that if you have achieved something, it is meaningful to show off to people you knew before you became rich.
In a more professional field, if you have achieved something, you must share it with people who "know the business", because those who don't know the business can't understand how great your work is.
He was a little unsteady when he stood up from the chair, but he quickly adjusted and returned to normal.
…
After the afternoon teaching discussion, the priestesses left the classroom in order. They would pass on what they had just learned to the young female students.
When Priest Aurora left, she passed by Victor who was waiting at the door of the classroom and patted his arm with a smile.
Victor bowed politely.
Priest Hrosvisa had a stern face. She didn't like Victor because she was an ascetic, but she nodded slightly because the boy was a guest of the temple.
Victor also bowed slightly. He respected these women, and their attitude towards him was not important.
After all the priests left, "Mammy, I'm here!" The boy smiled and greeted High Priest Nannik as he walked into the classroom.
"You seem to be in a good mood, kid. What do you want to see me for?" The priestess sat in the tutor's chair and casually put the book she was reading on the table.
Pulling a chair to sit opposite the priestess, he put the box containing the potion on the side of the desk and said with a smile: "I succeeded! Madam. I developed a new potion! And this potion will help me solve the threat of the Knight of Thales!"
The efforts of more than ten days finally bore fruit. The boy is now really full of joy. Whether it is a pioneering work from scratch or the reappearance of a lost formula, it is a victory full of sense of accomplishment for Victor!
That kind of simple touch... like the moment of completing a puzzle, the moment of stacking the building blocks, that is a kind of joy of creating the world.
Feeling the boy's excitement and joy, Priest Nannik kindly patted the back of his hand to calm him down.
She knew that Victor had been mixing in the alchemy room every day in addition to working in the greenhouse, but she never thought that he was actually researching new potions.
As the high priest of Meliteli, she understood the difficulty of developing new formulas. Just distinguishing the characteristics of each herb and recording the unknown reactions mixed together would require a long time of accumulation. And in the end, to achieve a specific stable effect, luck is even more needed - not just a little bit, but a lot of luck.
So the matter of completing a new formula in more than ten days was something that Mammy dared not even think about. That was something that only existed in ancient myths, the deeds of those sons of destiny. The more knowledgeable you are, the more unbelievable it is. To be disrespectful, Nenneke even suspected that some records were exaggerated and falsified.
But after regular communication in the greenhouse every day and the cognition after more than ten days of getting along, the priestess knew that the boy was not a person who could talk nonsense, but a cautious, stable, and precocious individual.
So she was also half-believing and half-doubting what he had come up with?
Patting the back of the boy's hand on the table, feeling him gradually calm down, she said kindly: "Okay, okay, come and explain to Mammy from the beginning, how did you do it? What did you get?"
After calming down the burst of joy, Victor said in a poorly disguised calm tone: "The story starts from the day Thales came. At that time, I was slicing the camouflage mushroom, a herb that is said to relieve chest pain──"
Nanni nodded. She knew that this kind of mushroom in the dark corner, its rock-like appearance is easy to be ignored, but it does not need any care, the greenhouse environment is enough for it to thrive.
"Then that night, after a simple pharmacological test, it was confirmed that it was not toxic, and I tried to eat a piece. I unexpectedly found that it has a very special effect."
Nanni's eyes flashed. Yes, the development of new drugs often starts like this, from an unexpected discovery.
"I stood up." The boy said.
"...Huh?" Rarely, the high priest's expression, who always had a wise and unconcerned mind since they met, showed a questioning look.
Holding back his laughter, the boy repeated with emphasis, "I stood up."
"...Oh! Is that so." The high priest's look of sudden realization showed that your nanny is your nanny after all, and she understands the troubles of adolescent boys.
This discovery is indeed very interesting. She nodded and immediately asked, "But how can you be sure that it is the result of the camouflage mushroom, and not normal instinct or other factors?"
Victor couldn't explain this question clearly, because he actually confirmed it with incredible alchemy. When the camouflage mushroom was used as the main ingredient to make an erection decoction, the incredible alchemy's direct result proved that the camouflage mushroom had a powerful effect on people standing up.
So, "I guessed, I boldly assumed that it was caused by it!" Victor said with a firm face and no doubt.
When the high priest heard this answer, he thought about it and accepted it. There are indeed many cases in the discovery of the efficacy of many herbs in the world.
Once this level is passed, the next step is to go with the flow and talk nonsense: "Then I didn't expect that the third attempt at the combination of herbs could produce a formula that would not hurt the body and maximize the effectiveness of the camouflage mushroom."
The truth is that the boy used incredible alchemy to make it several times, and then deduced the best combination from the best finished product, and then directly optimized the blending process from the best combination, saving a lot of trial and error time.
However, the priestess did not question this. The birth of the formula does not completely deny the existence of such a contingency blessed by the goddess.
At this point, the dark grey sky near night suddenly began to rain. The afternoon thunderstorm that had been brewing outside the window for a long time finally began to rage, and the water drops hit the window glass with a crisp sound.
The boy naturally stopped explaining. After all, no matter how much he talked, he still had to see the real thing in the end, and see the finished product.
So he pushed the storage box that was originally placed next to the table to the middle of the table: "This new medicine made with camouflage mushrooms as the main ingredient is called-"
He opened the lid with a click, revealing twelve crystal green test tubes.
"Megatron!!"
As soon as the three words came out, coincidentally, thunderclouds gathered and thunder exploded, and the rumbling thunder echoed in the air.
In the flash of lightning, Victor's ordinary face was filled with the eternal glory of science.
