Witcher's Atelier

On the way home after leaving the Alchemy Workshop in Kalkistan at noon, Angouleme followed Victor with a guilty conscience, because the young man's face had not looked very good since he left.

After hesitating for a moment, the girl said tentatively: "Captain, you don't seem to be in a good mood? Are things not going well?"

He gave her a hard look and almost wanted to curse her out of anger, but unfortunately, his old father still had the upper hand mentally.

So Victor said angrily: "I won't praise you this time because I won't look at your face. Anyway, things went very smoothly. If there are other reasons for my bad mood, don't ask."

...No one else would be in a good mood after being teased.

To put it simply, Kalkstein asked him a few metaphysical, that is, abstract questions, and then after he responded fluently, as a senior alchemist, he taught his juniors not to be too ambitious.

It's a stupid thing to laugh at his young age and then use some mature ideas that he didn't know where to write down and that don't belong to him as his answer.

For example, given his age and experience, does he study alchemy to pursue the truth?

... Victor himself didn't believe what he said. He never cared about the truth. He knew that what he wanted was power, the power to control his own destiny.

So "deliberate pandering" was slapped on the face, and Victor had nothing to say.

Fortunately, it was only slightly embarrassing and no one else knew about it. After Kalkstein finished cutting it, he also expressed that he still admired this junior.

He liked the answers that Victor recited, especially the "seeker of truth" which was a reflection of himself.

Therefore, he is willing to provide his alchemy experience and notes for Victor's reference. All he needs to do is take--open the list of materials in his hand: ghoul blood, giant ghoul bone marrow, water ghost brain, rotting demon skin, cemetery moss, mole Yarrow, white zinnia petals, etc. can be exchanged for more than 20 kinds of alchemy materials with a dazzling array and the required quantity.

There is no limit to collecting them all. How much material can be exchanged for how much wisdom? This is Kalkstein's original words.

It's just that many of the materials on this list can only be obtained by leaving the city, so things are back to where they were a day ago, and the task of "obtaining a pass to and from Vizima" is once again in front of us.

But the advantage compared to yesterday was that today he could find someone who could talk to him and issue a permit─Vinzima City Guard Captain Vincent. Mace.

…

The Phantom Troupe found Captain Vincent at the city guard training ground. When the guard ran to notify him, he could be seen in the distance holding a training sword and instructing his subordinates to practice swordsmanship.

This middle-aged man with black hair and a bald belly walked from a distance, wearing thin iron armor and a shirt with the Temerian Lily emblem on it. The deep nasolabial folds on his face made him look much older than his actual age.

Victor came prepared and took out the "bloodthirsty plant" bounty notice he took from the bulletin board. "Dear captain, I am here for this notice. I am willing to go out of the city to eradicate this bloodthirsty monster, but The blocked gates prevent me from serving you."

The captain looked the young mercenary up and down for a while. The steel sword on his waist was not just a decoration. The iron-inlaid leather armor showed signs of wear and tear. The woman following him did not look like a vase.

These two guys are obviously not here to cheat, but it is difficult to say whether they can complete the task.

Thinking he had judged the worth of the two mercenaries, Vincent crossed his arms and said: "This is a very dangerous job. Young man, I suggest you think again. Is four hundred orens worth risking your life?"

Victor put his right hand on his chest and replied solemnly: "We have considered it very clearly, Captain, we hope to get this opportunity, and the 'Phantom Troupe' is willing to serve Temeria."

"Phantom Troupe?" The guard captain was a little confused. He was familiar with Temeria's slightly famous mercenary group from the north of the Yaruga River to the south of the Pontar River, but he had never heard of this name. Said.

Regarding the captain's ignorance, Angoulin answered him enthusiastically with a smile on his face: "Our mercenary group was founded not long ago, and now there are only two of us."

This unreliable answer immediately made Vincent shake his head. They were two young people who went out looking for excitement. They didn't know the heights of the world, but they didn't understand that the only thing waiting for them was death. He had seen too many of these people over the years.

Although there have been a few up-and-coming characters among them, it is not too late to win over those capable guys when they come back alive.

Thinking of this, he had nothing to say. He waved to a guard and said, "Jessolo, take them to the guardhouse, help them register, and get two city gate passes."

Then, "I will give Jesolo fifty orens later," Vincent said to Victor: "Do you understand the price of opportunity?"

"Can't be more clear, sir."

…

It was already night when I returned home for the fourth time. It is indeed the capital of Temeria. All the equipment needed for alchemy is available. After purchasing, Victor went to the underground floor to start setting up his alchemy room. Angouleme was also there. Helped move items downstairs.

The first thing to be laid out is of course the foundation of incredible alchemy. You never know what is being cooked inside, the hot and mysterious boiling cauldron.

After moving the things, the group member Ku sat aside and watched the group leader arrange it. It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but the alchemy apprentice wouldn't let her interfere. In Victor's territory, the position of every beaker and every test tube was required. Just right.

With nothing to do, the girl was bored and held her chin with one hand, swinging her long legs, and suddenly thought: "Oh, by the way, captain, that amulet at noon? You said it can reduce the chance of getting the plague, what is its function?"

The boy's face was just close to the cauldron to wipe the inner wall, so the loud echo lingered: "Don't worry, the anti-flea amulet is a local product of Banard, and the mage is purely handmade, so the quality is guaranteed."

Then he raised his head and happened to meet Angouleme's angry eyes: "Hey! Don't rush to stare at me, I'm not kidding you, this plague can be transmitted through flea bites." The boy said seriously.

"Captain, how do you know?"

"How can you be your captain if you don't know this!"

A few words blocked the girl's complaints. Victor poured water into the cauldron, lit the firewood, and waved her to the side, "Don't say I'm not good to you, today I will teach you a trick! If you learn it, you will never worry about food and clothing in your life."

"Huh! What is it?" Angouleme's brown eyes were full of interest.

"Don't worry, I'll show you how to make delicious tea eggs.

Come... throw the tea and eggs into the pot and stir them. Just like this, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle... and then a flash of light will turn into tea eggs..."

A glimmer of light flashed in his words, and he used a soup ladle to scoop out the tea eggs floating in the pot. Victor peeled them and gave half to Angouleme to try.

"The eggs are so delicious, and this method is so magical! Can I really learn it?"

"If you can do it, you can do it. If you can't do it, you can't do it. You'll know once you try it." When the boy said this, his voice was calm and distant, and only he knew the nostalgia and gratitude contained in it.
