"The two of you... I wonder how your discussion went."
The old village chief still maintained a polite smile.
In his view, although these two probably weren't spies, they could be scamrs.
People like this pretending to be Alchemists to swindle food and drink were not uncommon across the entire continent.
Therefore, the continent had also introduced corresponding laws to strictly manage these matters.
Although the two dressed quite nicely, and were even riding magical tools capable of flight.
But scamrs who invested heavily like this weren't non-existent.
So...
A test was necessary.
"Of course no problem."
"It's a piece of cake, no need to prepare materials or anything, we have our own."
Elisa nodded slightly very politely.
Lan Qingyou directly waved her hand, looking smug.
Although she didn't know what the materials the other party spoke of were, Lan Qingyou could be sure they definitely weren't good stuff.
They might even be shoddy goods made by themselves using half-baked knowledge.
The finished products made using this kind of material definitely wouldn't be very good either.
So Lan Qingyou wouldn't do sothing so embarrassing.
"Is that so, then that's truly wonderful. I rember brewing potions requires a crucible."
"It just so happens an Alchemist stayed here before, and left behind an unwanted crucible, perhaps you can use that one."
Seeing the other party actually want to provide their own materials, the old village chief didn't say anything either.
After all, many Alchemists liked to make their own materials.
The woods outside the village and the northern plateau were full of herbs everywhere, so they probably wanted to make it themselves.
"This is also unnecessary, I also have one here."
"This..."
The old village chief was sowhat dumbfounded.
Both of them were empty-handed, saying they had materials was easy to understand.
After all, Repellent Potions weren't rare items, they could be gathered outside.
But the crucible used for alchemy wasn't sothing just anything could make up for.
Moreover, apart from the two magical tools, they didn't have a pot either.
Seeing the other party's unclear appearance, Lan Qingyou directly stood up, then floated to the center of the banquet venue and took out an Herb Pouch.
As for why it was Lan Qingyou and not Elisa.
This was mainly because this guy Elisa's crucible was truly a bit too advanced.
The people in this small village certainly hadn't seen this kind of thing.
Rather than having to painstakingly explain it later, it was better to let Lan Qingyou, this 'orthodox Alchemist', do this matter.
Thump—thump—
As the heavy Alchemy Pedestal and crucible were poured out from the Herb Pouch by Lan Qingyou.
That weight which made it seem as if the entire venue was shaking made all the participating mbers couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"This..."
"Storage pouch!"
"It's actually a Storage Item?"
"Look at that crucible, it's much better looking than the one in old Bill's warehouse."
"You don't understand do you, it's more than just a lot better looking. Look at those patterns on it, they're finer than the patterns on the Viscount's carriage I saw in town, one look and you can tell it's a good item."
"What's underneath that crucible? It looks very heavy."
"I've seen that one before, the Alchemist who ca to our village previously would put a piece of this kind of iron under the crucible when doing alchemy, it can be ignited directly without firewood."
"Hiss—then isn't this a magical tool?"
A thing that could be ignited without firewood, other than magical tools, there shouldn't be anything else.
Tsk tsk.
To think that apart from flying tools, there were actually magical tools.
It seed they were true Alchemists.
After all, magical tools were very expensive.
Whether buying from others or making them oneself.
And if you say who was the richest, it was definitely none other than Alchemists.
Just seeing these two things and the storage pouch, the old village chief knew that at least one of these two was a true Alchemist.
Let alone anything else.
Just that storage pouch alone could buy ten villages like their Fernweed Village and beco a noble.
So no matter how heavily a scamr would invest, they absolutely wouldn't do this.
After all, if they could be a noble, why be a scamr.
As for whether the one in white was or not, it actually didn't matter anymore.
As long as one was an Alchemist, the other basically must be one as well.
After all, Alchemists didn't need to lie about this kind of thing.
And the most important thing was these two were Mountain Dwellers.
Mountain Dwellers residing within the borders of the empire.
Theoretically, they belonged as subjects of the empire, and were free citizens who hadn't joined any family or faction.
If he operated a bit and introduced the two to the Viscount in town.
Then perhaps Fernweed Village could also get so material inclination from the Viscount later.
After all, the world was getting more and more chaotic now.
The village was right next to the border line.
If they didn't arm themselves, they wouldn't even have the possibility of resisting when the highland barbarians charged over later.
While the old village chief completely believed the two's identities and was calculating how to use their identities to seek benefits for the village, Lan Qingyou over here was also thodically brewing the potion.
"Lord Alchemist, how long will brewing the potion take this ti?"
Since their identities were confird, the old village chief's address for Lan Qingyou and Elisa naturally changed as well.
Even his tone was much more complintary.
"Not long, just a few hours' ti. The sky has darkened now, go back and sleep, it should be done by tomorrow morning."
Lan Qingyou, continuously adding herbs into the crucible, said without turning her head.
"..."
A few hours... tomorrow morning...
The old village chief fell silent.
"Which ans you have to brew all night?"
"Staying up all night is truly too normal for an Alchemist, it's no big deal."
"...Is that so, then I'll have a few young n guard here, if there's anything you need people to handle you can let them do it."
Seeing the person involved didn't mind, the old village chief naturally couldn't say much either.
"No need, I can handle it alone."
Lan Qingyou instinctively refused the old village chief's good intentions.
After all, she didn't quite like having people waiting beside her while she was working.
That feeling, just thinking about it was uncomfortable.
"Old man, you couldn't be distrusting and getting people to co monitor , right."
Thus, Lan Qingyou thought of this point.
She couldn't help but think crookedly.
After all, this old man had been probing them since just now.
But this ti Lan Qingyou thought wrong.
"How is that possible, the Alchemist who ca to the village previously needed at least three or four people's help when making potions."
"Eh! There's such a saying?"
Hearing the old village chief say this, Lan Qingyou was stunned at that mont.
"Of course."
"It shouldn't be, the workload for this isn't very large right."
Lan Qingyou was very puzzled.
Co to think of it too.
Apart from the initial preparation work, as long as it wasn't mass production, brewing potions could completely be handled by one person.
Even the initial preparation work could be completed by one person as long as there was enough ti.
Especially during the material preparation stage.
As a result, the 'native' told her making potions actually required several people to help out to complete?
This sowhat made Lan Qingyou's worldview a bit unable to keep up with the rhythm...
