Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 41: Medicine Bag
"Overdrawing mana will damage the foundation of your spirit and life, leading to many serious consequences.

This kind of medicine still needs to be kept on hand..."

Roy had never tried overdrawing his mana, and didn't want to try, so he bought a few more bottles as a backup.

But then, carrying it with you becomes a problem.

Milena observed his expression and said, "Do you need a used portable medicine capsule? I'll sell it to you cheaply."

"Portable medicine capsule?" Roy's eyes lit up. He had asked about this kind of thing before in the store, but the price was not cheap.

Seeing that something was going on, Milena quickly explained, “I bought this on impulse because I wanted to study pharmacy.

But I guarantee it’s brand new and I haven’t used it much.”

This statement is self-contradictory.

I haven’t used it much, but I have!

However, the potion sac is a substitute for storage magic devices. It is made of special materials and can hold various test tubes and medicine bottles.

The things put in it have no weight, will not deteriorate, and will not be affected by external factors such as vibration, impact, cold, heat, etc.

Roy was quite interested in this, so he asked Milena for details.

Milena quickly closed her stall, took Roy back to her residence, and took out a finely crafted belt.

"This is a potion capsule with 12 standard slots. I bought it for 3600 magic stones, but now I'm only selling it to you for 1800..."

Roy took it and looked at it, but he quickly discovered something fishy, so he smiled and said, "800!"

"Huh?" Milena was obviously stunned.

Roy said, "I said, 800!"

Milena's expression was somewhat grim: "You're bargaining too hard, aren't you?"

Roy said, "You were the first to be cruel. You sold me a broken medicine capsule as if it were a good one!"

"It was fine, how come it broke?" Milena still insisted.

Roy said, "You think I can't see it? There are multiple damages in its 12 slots. There's a chance of leakage. It needs to be repaired with etherstone or other spatial materials."

"Ah!" Milena, who was caught lying on the spot, obviously lost her momentum.

This thing was indeed damaged when it was hit by a monster during an adventure.

She tried her best to fix it, but failed due to her limited skills.

"Okay, 800 is 800, but since you bought this thing knowing it's broken, I won't be responsible for any problems that arise in the future."

Roy said, "Okay, I bought this mainly for the sake of cheapness. All consequences are at your own risk."

This is the unspoken rule of buying things outside of regular stores. Apprentices often sell things privately, and basically at their own risk.

But sometimes, you can really get a bargain, like this belt used by a female apprentice.

After Roy and the other party exchanged money and goods, he paused for a moment and said, "Do you have any remaining repair materials? If so, I'll buy them all."

Milena's face showed a strange expression. "Are you sure? I'll give it to you at a discount, 80 magic stones for the whole package..."

"Can't you just give it away for free as a gift?"

"You think beautiful!"

After some bargaining, Roy spent 50 magic stones to buy several materials containing the power of space, and immediately returned to his residence to repair them.

"Success! Now I have another intact belt worth over 3000!"

After a busy night, Roy finally managed to repair the belt with the help of the two Black Iron-level talents, [Skilled Worker] and [Alchemy Machine].

With great satisfaction, he stretched out his body and put it on to try it out.

"The success rate bonus of [Skilled Worker] is really useful. If I do this a few more times, wouldn't I make a lot of money?
However, this kind of thing is often hard to come by. Unless you become very famous, people will come to you on their own initiative.

In that case, you may face a cruel situation of fighting for life and death.

The business war of a wizard apprentice is just so plain and simple." After sighing, Roy tried to put various potions into it and fell asleep.

……

Before I knew it, it was the next day.

Roy didn't get up until noon and went to the cafeteria to eat.

As a result, the discussions of some senior apprentices caught his attention.

"Have you heard? Something happened in Windy Hills!"

"Those monsters are really fighting!"

"I've only read about them in books, but I never thought I'd have the chance to witness a war between monsters with my own eyes!"

"You've lived long enough to see everything! Those murlocs and giants shouldn't have anything in common..."

Roy looked puzzled, and immediately found a low-level apprentice who worked as a handyman on the third floor, and asked him to run errands to call up Renien and others.

"Senior Roy, have you heard about the big news in Gale Hill?" Tigro couldn't wait to tell Roy when he arrived.

Roy asked, "What exactly happened?"

Tigro said, "I just happened to inquire about it. Starting yesterday, a large number of murlocs besieged a giant tribe..."

But he described it vividly, but was vague when it came to the specific details.

It was Niya who gave Roy something and explained, "An apprentice happened to be there doing a mission and took a picture with an alchemy camera!"

She recently spent a lot of money and successfully obtained a position as a junior supervisor in the mission center, which means she has some authority.

I'm pretty well-informed about news.

Roy looked at the picture she handed him. It seemed to be a picture taken from some high ground, but the distance was too far and the picture was not very clear.

But the war situation with tens of thousands of monsters gathered was obvious.

"They are indeed attacking the giant tribe!"

Renien lowered his voice.

"The leader is none other than the Murloc Lord we encountered before. Some say they are fighting for the treasures that flowed out of the Cretaceous Nation!"

Roy said: "So, that thing should have fallen into the river?

The sorcerous energy spread down the river and into the sea, and then a large group of murlocs swam upstream and found that side."

"That's what's being said outside too. This should be the most reasonable guess." Everyone said.

Renien said, "Now I don't know whether the thing is in the hands of the giant or somewhere further upstream."

Roy said: "No matter what, this is our chance.

Even if those monsters had some intelligence, they wouldn't think too far ahead.

Wouldn't it be a good opportunity for the apprentices in the Wu Tower to fight the giant rashly like this?"

Tigro agreed: “Indeed, everyone is busy.

Many people are also planning to follow behind and take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune! "

Roy said, "Let's go too!"

I have said before that I want to seek revenge and find an opportunity to hunt down that powerful monster.

Now that the opportunity is right, everyone agreed and made their own preparations.

The next day, the team gathered again at the entrance of Wuta and set off on time.

Target, Windy Hills!

But this time, Tigro replaced Niya and joined their adventure team.
