Episode 3.1-2
Lecan was hesitating in front of that door.
There is neither a bell nor a knocker. Which ans, he has to either knock on the door or call out soone.
However, should he really knock on this door.
Lecan was hesitating.
Before they entered Vouka Town three days ago, Lecan suddenly stopped moving and asked Chaney.
"Chaney. Do a great number of magic beasts inhabit this town?"
"Eh, magic beasts? Aah! Yes, they do. They're tad magic beasts, you see. Like apes and wolves. The apes are tad while the wolves are tad . People don't refer to them as magic beasts, but as House Apes and House Wolves. It's not rare for other big towns to keep either House Apes or House Wolves in, but I think only this town has both types."
When Lecan probed the inside of the town with , he found a surprising number of blue dots signifying magic beasts. So places even have more than 10 dots crowded together. Additionally, as you'd expect from a big town, there are several red dots signifying mana-bearing humans. There is even an extrely strong one mixed among these red and blue dots.
Asking Chaney about this ans Lecan is disclosing the fact that he possesses a peculiar detection ability, but after what's happened thus far, Chaney probably has noticed it himself. That he went out of his way to point out, [People don't refer them as magic beasts, but as House Apes and House Wolves], a fact that anybody should have known, was probably because he had perceived that Lecan is poorly inford of this world's common sense.
Lecan stayed at an inn provided by Chaney during hist first night at town of Vouka. The inn provided not only dinner but even breakfast.
He received his rewards at noon of the second day from Chaney, that was when Lecan asked Chaney to introduce him to a skilled apothecary.
Chaney asked for his reasons, and Lecan spoke of his circumstances.
He had been making his own not-too-effective magic potions. It's a necessity for soone who's constantly knee-deep in battles. However, due to a certain circumstance, he's found himself far away from ho, sowhere full of unfamiliar vegetation, he has no idea how to make magic potions with these plants. Thus, he intends to study under an apothecary to learn the necessary skill. He also wants to stock up on magic potions he cannot make himself.
"Humm. Which ans, you'll be going on your way once you've learned from the apothecary. In that situation, you will need to pay tuition fee if you wish to study under them."
"Naturally."
"And learning from a skilled apothecary ans the tuition fee will not be cheap. Ah, but an adventurer like you could earn your daily expense and tuition fee all while studying. What kind of magic potion do you wish to learn to make."
"Physical and mana recovery ones. Mainly these two."
"All right. Hmm."
After thinking for a while, Chaney put forward one apothecary's na.
The person is an exceptionally skilled apothecary, but never takes an apprentice for so reason.
Many people wished to learn under her, even the town lord repeatedly asked her to have his subordinates study under her with huge rewards as compensation, but the apothecary refused and even threatened to leave the town if they persisted.
"That's how that person is, thus I think Lecan-san might have little chance to get accepted. However, her skills are in a whole entire league compared to other apothecaries. Even though I'm fully aware that she might refuse, I still intend to ask her to take Lecan-san under her wings. Besides... No, never mind. I shall try asking her for now."
Lecan couldn't ask for more. For him, no amount of money or effort is too much if it ans having a chance to learn from such a skilled apothecary.
Since Chaney asked Lecan to wait one or two days, he asked Chaney where to find a cheap inn.
"I don't care if it's cramped or stinky. The cheaper the better. I might have to stay long after all."
"Haha. And besides, I suppose a slightly dangerous location should be fine with Lecan-san. I understand."
