Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 14 Nightmare Potion
"They haven't woken up yet?" Sophia looked at the unconscious people and frowned slightly.

"I didn't dare to force them to wake up because I was afraid of damaging their spirits," Roy explained. "Senior, can you let the puppet wolf carry them?"

Sophia said, "Forget it, let's do as you say."

He then summoned a puppet wolf and asked Roy to carry the unconscious people up, and then walked back with him.

Seeing that she was easy to talk to, Roy took the opportunity to ask about what was happening in the garden.

Sophia said, "This place is indeed polluted. I picked some mutated snake fruits and plan to take them back to have a look."

Roy's heart moved slightly: "Can you let me take a look?"

Sophia glanced at him with some surprise, but still threw one to him.

"It is indeed the contaminated snake fruit.

This thing should be called a new variety. It is no longer the original snake fruit, but the nightmare snake fruit.

I remember it could be used to make things like nightmare potions?

According to common naming conventions, perhaps it could be called the Dark Orchard."

Roy read for a while and tried to paraphrase the knowledge in the book in his own words.

This is a kind of garden-like spiritual illusion that can help people build associations with related things and temper their spirits in dreams.

The negative effects are lack of sleep caused by nightmares, neurasthenia, and the loss of mental strength over time.

This is a contradictory phenomenon with two sides.

Sophia was a little surprised. "Although these things are taught in the intermediate apprenticeship courses, they are not taught in depth. It seems that you have a strong ability to learn on your own."

Roy said modestly: "I just happened to see it."

Sophia said, "I'm not good at potions, but I've heard of this kind of thing. Come back to the third floor and find me. I'll give you some ingredients and you can try to make it."

Roy was slightly surprised when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized that this senior sister Sophia was at the critical juncture of becoming a formal wizard.

She is interested in any medicine that can help in the mental area, but she has different priorities.

This should be just a sudden thought, but it has great significance to me.

He quickly offered his services: "Senior Sophia, I've spent the past six years diligently studying alchemy. I'm confident and would be happy to serve you."

……

Sophia didn't comment on what Roy said.

But after returning and handing over the task, he was still given a few fruits and the corresponding materials.

This is an investment in him.

Roy was greatly excited and decided to look up various materials and deduce the formula.

At this time, Renien and Andov had woken up halfway, but they were very disappointed.

Because the reward for the mission given to them by Wuta is 50 magic stones per person.

"Wuta is too stingy!"

"This is only enough to buy a bottle of mild healing potion!"

Regular healing potions are also potions that can only be made by formal wizards. They can bring seriously injured ordinary people back to life, and therefore are extremely precious.

Based on this, some people have developed a series of dilutions with slight or weak effects.

There are also similar concentrated series such as strong and super.

Many of them are not simply diluted with water or boiled to change the concentration, but have different formulas and refining techniques.

In fact, it should be classified as imitations and substitutes.

"I can only buy some cheap eyeballs from the shopping street..."

Andov was speechless.

"Many of the things in there were dug out from the dead somewhere, simply washed and processed with necromancy before being sold!"

He was of course not very happy about the misfortune he had suffered for no reason. But unfortunately, he really couldn't blame them. After all, it was Roy who took care of them and got them out when they fainted.

Roy comforted him, "Replacing Tari's eyes is just like replacing glasses. If you get enough money in the future, you can just get a better pair."

Having said that, he also understood that making money was not that easy.

Who doesn't want to make money? How can you make money?

"High-level missions are only this short. Exploration missions are a disadvantage...

But since I got the Nightmare Snake Fruit, it wasn’t a wasted trip.

If I can master the method of refining nightmare potions, not only can I use them for myself, but I can also leverage Sophia's relationship and earn a stable income!"

After returning, Roy took inventory himself and found that the focus was on the fruit in his hand.

For the time being, there is nothing like it anywhere else, and it can be considered a specialty of a specific land vein.

It can be understood as an imitation of those famous nightmare potions, and its main feature is that it is cheap and affordable.

Moreover, the juice squeezed from this thing can usually be diluted.

The specific dilution amount depends on your conscience.

Anyway, if there is not enough juice, you can use sugar water, and add various additives. It can not only make up for the loss, but also make a big profit!

……

Time passed slowly and it was mid-December.

The progress of [Acquiring Alchemy Talent] continued to grow at a snail's pace, gradually accumulating into a large amount, and it actually exceeded 53%.

Roy estimated that if he wanted to reach 100% natural growth and accumulate the full amount, it would probably take until June of next year.

He had no idea about this thing for the time being, so he shifted more of his attention to the matter at hand.

In the library, Roy looked up information and took a bunch of notes.

Finally, with the help of the alchemy talent [Journeyman], he gradually deduced the formula for refining the Dark Orchard.

He immediately took out the white juice left over from the previous research and began to mix it to get the product.

"It really worked!"

He frowned at the milk-like test product and drank the whole tube.

I felt a little tipsy and soon fell asleep.

As expected, he experienced a deep sleep that lasted for several hours that night, but the consciousness in his mind did not stop functioning. Instead, it turned into a nightmare, in which he experienced a series of tests such as picking fruits in the orchard, encountering a giant python, and fighting for life and death.

After waking up, I had a splitting headache.

But after meditating and examining carefully, I found that my spirit had indeed grown slightly.

“It really works!”

Roy was very excited about this.

"If I continue practicing like this, it would only cost me a little over 10 magic stones to reveal a will rune, which is much more efficient than before.

Moreover, this dream is very real!
"Perhaps the combat skills I developed in my dreams can be integrated into reality and transformed into instinct?"

In addition, Roy's experience during this trip to the apple orchard also gave him some insights.

Having strengthened his physique and attained knight-level strength, he should have been able to show off his prowess...

But it won’t be that cheap.

It wouldn't be true. Just when he was strengthening his physique, he encountered an opponent that a low-level knight could handle.

The mental illusion is unreasonable. If I hadn't been lucky enough to bring the calming Pu Shuixiang with me, I would have been in trouble.

"But then again, does this also mean that it can be used against Portning and Trides and the others?
The more embarrassing this encounter is, the greater the benefits will be if we use this thing!
Maybe we should take advantage of this!"

Roy pondered.
