The Witch's Wandering Alchemist's Diary

Farin was somewhat embarrassed, but in front of Lou Le, he ultimately dared not refute her.

In the end, he still bowed his head and said, "Yes, Venerable Lou Le."

After watching him leave quickly, Lou Le went back to sleep to get enough rest for tomorrow's raid on the dungeon.

Back in the Mage Tower, Farin found his teacher, Dwight, reading in his study.

"Teacher, that Venerable Lou Le said there's no need to discuss anything. Just let her know when we set off tomorrow."

Dwight wasn't surprised: "Mages all have quirks, especially the powerful ones. Not to mention, she's an alchemist."

Farin listened attentively: "Teacher, that Grand Mage Lou Le is definitely not a first-level mage. Today, I saw three incredibly beautiful firebirds surrounding her, so lifelike they looked almost like elemental creatures!"

Dwight shook his head and said, "Since that Master Loule said she is a first-ring mage, then let's just treat her as a first-ring mage. Don't be presumptuous and try to expose her or anything."

He lectured Falin, "We can now make a lot of money and expand our network thanks to Master Loule's alchemical abilities. Why create unnecessary trouble?"

"Yes, teacher," Farin replied nervously.

"Since you've admitted your mistake, your punishment is to prepare an extra carriage, a horse, a tent, and other necessities for tomorrow," Dwight said. "Tomorrow we're heading to the Ghostwood Forest. That sorcerer Lou Le is going there; he's definitely trying to sell potions. You also need to prepare alchemy equipment for him, understand?"

"I understand, teacher," Farin said. "Then, teacher, shall I prepare the alchemy materials?"

"No, no, no, that's unnecessary." Dwight shook his head. "Alchemists generally follow the principle of equivalent exchange. What I asked you to prepare is only for temporary use by that mage. Alchemy materials, on the other hand, are consumables. Do you want that mage to owe you a favor? If you anger her, your whole family could suffer."

Farin swallowed hard. "I understand, teacher."

"Hmm." Dwight nodded and ignored Farin, continuing to read his book.

The monk spends most of his day reading, reading, and reading some more. He studies, studies, and studies some more.

Moreover, most monks abstain from sexual activity and maintain a pure and desireless state of mind.

Because a sorcerer truly relies solely on their memory to memorize so many spells, if they forget them, they are truly unable to cast them.

Sometimes when he woke up from his afternoon nap, the mage's mind would go blank, and he wouldn't be able to cast a single spell, just like an ordinary person.

That's basically the most dangerous time of day.

Therefore, most mages resist anything that might confuse their minds or impair their memory.

"If only I had a spellbook."

Dwight sighed; "However, monster hides imbued with magic are hard to find."

Spellbooks require monster hides that have been imbued with magic and undergo special forging before spell models can be recorded on them. Then, during battles, spells from the spellbook can be invoked at any time.

As for the parchment scrolls used in regular teaching, they only have drawings on them, without any magical flow.

-----------------

The next day, early in the morning, a horse-drawn carriage with a cargo bed and a small horse arrived at Lou Le's alchemy shop.

When Lou Le came down, he saw the little horse.

The adventurers all gathered at the quest tavern.

They were to travel with the monk. Lou Le swung himself onto a pony, while Dwight and his group also rode a horse, walking side by side looking majestic and extraordinary.

Such a large-scale operation is very rare in Ghostwood Town.

Many people were gathered around the roadside watching.

"Look, that's a master mage. When you grow up, if you become a master mage, you can eat white bread every day."

Some people are teaching their sons or daughters.

Looking at this deck of cards, everyone was extremely envious.

Look at that tall horse, and its full suit of iron armor.

Ah, I'm so envious!

Many people thought so, but for Lou Le, what kind of pomp and circumstance was this?

A few carriages and a few suits of armor.

Bored, she drove the few Vermilion Birds around her to fly around aimlessly, which only made the farmers cheer even more.

This large group of people entered the Ghostwood Forest and encountered virtually no monsters along the way.

Not a single dog-headed person could be seen.

After entering the forest, Lou Le put away the three Vermilion Birds.

After all, those were real flames!

It really does set the forest ablaze, and it gets incredibly hot all around you.

Lou Le thought she should use Icebird's next time; it's cool and looks nice.

We set off in the morning and didn't arrive near the camp until noon.

This was a large open space where all the trees had been cut down and piled up haphazardly. Many adventurers were also seen digging holes and inserting logs to build the walls of their camp.

Lou Le was assigned a camp location near the right side of the center, while the mages were positioned in the very center.

As for the adventurers, they were scattered around the camp, with the craftsmen, blacksmiths, doctors, and prostitutes located in the center to the left.

A small squad of about ten town guards also arrived to maintain order in the camp.

Dwight, meanwhile, led the mages to survey the vicinity of the dungeon.

Lou Le stared blankly at the tent.

Damn! It's so hot here! Living in a dog-skin tent, aren't you afraid of getting heat rash?

She sighed and called Jer.

"Remove this tent."

She gave the instructions.

Although Jer was puzzled, he immediately agreed. A tent could sell for a lot of money!

Lou Le used the "Soil Modification" technique to create a high platform from the soil and then built a simple house using mud bricks.

The roof is also an earthen roof.

To prevent it from collapsing, she used frost rays to coat the outside of the house with a layer of ice.

In this way, even if it melts, the water will gradually bind the soil together.

Moreover, Lou Le prepares a frost-free ray coating every day to maintain the overall structure of the house.

After doing all this, Lou Le wrote the words "selling various medicines" on the outside wall.

Upon entering the room, she arranged all the various alchemical tools.

"Ah, it feels so cool."

Lou Le sat on an animal skin and breathed a comfortable sigh of relief.

Even in the height of summer, these earthen houses are extremely cool.

In this way, even when brewing alchemical potions, one will not be drenched in sweat.

The adventurers who were resting on the ground looked at each other in bewilderment, and many of them complained inwardly.

—Those mages really know how to enjoy themselves.
