Chapter 14.2: Alkimas Workshop (1)
The next day, after enjoying the banquet.
I started doing what I had to do.
He brought a lot.
I looked down at the wriggling caterpillars in a bucket full of them.
The butler brought it after receiving my order.
The larvae were experintal materials to be used for a precise investigation of instant kill.
“Shall we start?”
I picked up a knife.
The purpose of the experint was to find out how long instant kill would take effect after the blood had been discharged from the body.
The thod was simple.
I would drop blood on the caterpillar and activate [Instant Kill]. And every ti it succeeded, five seconds would delay the activation ti.
After sacrificing dozens of caterpillars, I completed the experint.
About three minutes.
As a result of the experint, the effective ti for instant kill using my blood was about three minutes.
Blood that had flowed out of the body for over three minutes could not activate [Instant Kill].
The first thing that ca to my mind while contemplating how to use this newfound knowledge was the vampire blood technique.
If I had the ability to freely manipulate blood, the synergy with [Instant Kill] would be truly amazing.
The problem is that I can’t change my race.
There was usually no way to change the race one was born with in this world.
Even if I could change it, I wanted to remain human as much as possible.
A way to use blood magic even if I was not a vampire.
There was one thing that ca to mind, but it was a way that had considerable risk.
Let’s put it behind my mind for now.
Anyway, I got the information I needed, but there was still a lot I didn’t know.
For example, what was the range of targets that could be instantly killed? Would instant kill work on the undead, as well as spiritual bodies?
These, too, should be checked later when the opportunity arose.
The next thing to deal with now was the Alkimas Workshop issue.
I said to Asher, who was waiting outside the room.
“I need to go out for a while.”
I was curious about how effective the potions in this world were, and I also wanted to look at the workshop.
***
Aria was an apprentice alchemist at the Alkimas Workshop.
Her morning job was to work at the counter in the store building.
The workshop’s main source of inco was the city councils of nearby cities, including Buckhorn, and other adventurers as well.
The city council rarely ca to the store directly because they made bulk purchases.
And adventurers were not yet active at this ti of the day.
In short, Aria was having a leisurely ti, as there were few guests.
Aria, who was yawning, saw the figure of a custor who just entered the store.
She hastily shut her mouth.
The guests were a young man and a woman. She looked like an escort. The two were both very attractive, especially the man.
Aria greeted brightly, thinking that her eyes were blessed so early in the morning.
“Welco!”
The man silently nodded and looked at the potions on display.
Is he a young master from another city?
It was a face she hadn’t seen before.
The man, who had been looking at the potions for quite so ti, ca closer to the counter.
“Are all the potions you have currently on display?”
“Ah, all the potions on display are below average quality. High-quality potions are usually made-to-order.”
The man nodded and asked again.
“I want to buy the highest quality healing potion in the workshop.”
At that, Aria laughed inwardly.
Apparently, this ignorant young master didn’t know how expensive the product was, especially the potion made by Alkimas.
“If you are talking about the highest quality healing potion, there is ‘Scarlet’.”
“Isn’t that the na of the workshop owner?”
“Yes, since it was a potion invented by the owner, that is how it was nad.”
“How much?”
Aria replied with a bright smile, thinking of teasing the other a little.
“Three platinum coins.”
In terms of gold coins, a whopping 300 coins.
It was an amount that couldn’t be readily purchased with a light heart.
Aria looked at the man’s face, expecting a shocked reaction.
But he just nodded his head without a change in his expression.
“I will buy it.”
“…Yes?”
“If it’s made to order, how long will I have to wait? Can I pay the full amount in advance?”
Saying that, the man took out a purse full of gold and platinum coins from his bosom.
Aria couldn’t close her wide-open mouth in shock, then she stuttered.
“Now, wait! I’ll bring the workshop owner right away!”
