The Witch's Wandering Alchemist's Diary

Chapter 92 I'll make you fight, but not like this.

Today marks the official start of August, also known as the "Hot Month," the hottest day of the twelve months.

The temperature inside the carriage was fine, but once you stepped out, you'd find it incredibly hot.

The temperature seemed to have suddenly soared, and the original forest path turned from green to a yellowish color, with dust flying everywhere.

Fortunately, there was the Bone Horse, whose body was engulfed in cold fire.

It felt like being in air conditioning, so cool and refreshing.

However, the sun still felt a burning and stinging sensation on my skin.

Limera sat on the carriage frame, looking around at the forest on both sides, observing everything that was happening in the forest.

This is something the druid must do.

Lou Le lay down on her lap, yawning boredly.

The magic model fragments absorbed by the Witch Spring from the Corrupted Giant Bee have now been successfully transformed into a new magic model.

Lou Le had hoped for a magic model related to flight, but after experiencing it for a while, he was disappointed.

[Dominator of Insects - Already Subjected to Magical Distortion]

Second-Circle Spell: After casting a spell on an insect, it can temporarily become the leader of its kind and command its kin.

You can give commands to the insects that cast this spell.

(Note: This effect consumes one unit of magic power every two hours. After you stop using magic power, this effect will only last for an additional two hours.)

"This spell can only be described as subtle."

Lou Le muttered to himself, "This spell is useful, you could say it is."

After all, in special circumstances, it might save one's life.

However, if you say it's useless, then it really is useless.

Lou Le continued to yawn and rested his head on Limeira's lap.

In the afternoon, we finally left the Forest of Good Fortune.

The wheat fields outside Graystone City had been completely harvested by August, and not a single stalk could be seen in the fields.

After all, in this era, straw is not garbage.

Instead, straw was a precious source of warmth and fuel; impoverished farmers would pile it up on their beds, laying out a thick layer.

It's very warm in winter.

Although straw can be composted, people are reluctant to do so.

After keeping enough straw for their own use, farmers would sell it to merchants in exchange for some money.

Straw has a decent value, and merchants like to collect it.

Now, short, tender shoots have sprouted again on the land.

After the wheat harvest, farmers don't leave the land idle. They replant with Druid peas, the most common type of large pea.

These peas have high yields and strong nitrogen-fixing capabilities, which can increase soil fertility.

The only downside is that it tastes rather bland, with only a slight hint of astringency.

But for farmers, taste is the least of their concerns. As long as they can fill their stomachs, nothing else matters!

However, Lou Le really likes eating pea sprouts, so she's considering whether she should try growing some.

Under the influence of magic, these things should grow very quickly.

As they approached the gates of Graystone City, a soldier suddenly ran towards them from afar.

"Welcome back to Graystone City, Master Mage."

Will hurriedly said, "Your fame has spread throughout the entire Graystone City. Your exquisite alchemy is admired by everyone in Graystone City for a long time. The herbalists of Graystone City are eager to offer you herbs, Master Mage."

Lou Le glanced at Will and realized that this guy was the guard she had met before.

She nodded: "Has there been any change in Graystone City recently?"

Will quickly added, "Because several more alchemists have appeared in Graystone City, the price of potions has decreased, while the price of herbs has increased. More herbalists have also come to Graystone City."

"They will search for all alchemists, compare the prices they offer for herbs, and are willing to accept custom-made herbs from alchemists."

"The noble lords of Graystone City are searching for a mixed-power Stone Skin potion."

Will said, "Master, if the noble lords learn of your return, they will likely send people to find you soon. Those noble lords are all very willing to pay."

"Mixed Power Stone Skin Potion?"

Lou Le was a little confused; she didn't understand why the nobles needed this kind of potion.

After all, nobles don't need to go out to fight; they mostly just hunt.

The little witch looked at the soldier and asked Will to explain the specific reason, but Will was too embarrassed to explain.

He stammered and couldn't get the words out.

Lou Le frowned: "What exactly is the reason?"

Will thought for a long time before finally saying, "I heard from adventurers who came back to recover that the Mixed Power Stone Skin Potion will harden all the skin on your body the moment you drink it. If you curl your toes, then your toes will remain curled up for the duration of the power."

"If you straighten your toes, the effects of the potion will continue indefinitely."

He spoke in a trembling voice, which startled Lou Le.

So what does nobility have to do with toes?

But suddenly, she froze, and then she understood what was going on.

She was speechless. This is a combat potion!

Unexpectedly, they discovered other uses for it in combat!

My potions can help in battle, but they're not for you to use in "battle"!

Lou Le was somewhat speechless: "I understand."

She then tossed Will a bottle of healing potion and left, leaving Will holding the potion with great delight.

"This is money!"

Will thought to himself with delight that after selling the potion, he could buy some poultry to raise.

After Lou Le's carriage appeared on the main road of Graystone City, she indeed saw many idlers who, upon seeing her, quickly ran off to inform her.

The little witch was a bit speechless. After pulling the bone horse to the lake, she stopped.

She planned to use this place as a temporary residence.

After all, this is the only place with a large open space and good greenery.

Furthermore, large areas of this place were originally intended for itinerant vendors from outside the area to set up shop.

Lou Le saw several cloth-covered horse-drawn carriages used by merchants in the distance.

It was a type of carriage with a square bottom and a carriage made of bent willow branches covered with coarse cloth.

This type of vehicle is lightweight and can provide shelter from the wind and rain.

It's also cheap, which is why businessmen love it.

Lou Le had just finished arranging the car when an old man who looked like a butler rode up to him on horseback. After dismounting, he said, "Master Mage, welcome to Graystone City. I would like to purchase a few bottles of Mixed Strength Stone Skin Potion."

Lou Le glanced at him and said, "The Mixed Power Stone Skin Potion is nine parts gold and eight parts silver. If we add succubus horn powder, it will become more expensive."

"Succubus horn powder?"

The housekeeper was a little confused.

Lou Le laughed: "A kind of demon that specializes in seducing desire. In the study of mages, they are the embodiment of desire, and their horns are the source of power."

"Therefore, if succubus horn powder is added, it will have other very special functions."

The butler, feigning understanding, maintained his composure and said, "What? A special function."

"Strengthens the body, replenishes deficiencies, enhances physical strength, and a whole host of other benefits."

The little witch boasted, and the butler listened with longing.

"Excuse me, what is the price?"

"One gram equals one gold."

Lou Le smiled.
