Magic Industrial Age

In Deep Blue's research, this world's apothecary is deeply influenced by potion-making, one could even say it's an appendage of it.

In ancient times, it was mainly empiricism, throwing all sorts of random things together to boil.

Whether the final product had any effect, how much effect, whether there would be side effects, etc., was all up to fate.

In modern times, especially after the Second Great Magic Development, potion-making has also made considerable progress, often a small bottle can quickly take effect.

As a result, apothecary also followed suit, learning from separation to purification, from filtration to synthesis...

Learning nine out of ten tricks, only the most essential part was not learned, to be precise, anything involving magic could not be learned.

In the end, it became this neither-here-nor-there state, and with the division and impact of magic potions and divine arts, even ordinary citizens don't trust it much.

Loy initially just wanted to create an alternative recipe, but Deep Blue is meticulous and doesn't like to cut corners.

With such a pursuit of excellence, coupled with the comparison and optimization of knowledge recorded in books, and repeated trials, a qualitative breakthrough was finally achieved recently!

Growing on the Dakar Plain, there is a kind of small grass that is completely dark blue, looking nothing special, but whenever a magical beast is injured, it likes to gnaw on the leaves of this grass.

This is Perseus Grass, which has the effect of strengthening recovery for the body, stimulating cell regeneration, and accelerating wound healing.

However, this herb itself has a certain toxicity, and if the physique is not strong enough, it may be poisoned to death.

No matter how strong Loy's physique is, he doesn't dare to compare with magical beasts, so he also sought a detoxifying herb—Siren Grass.

This is a kind of seaweed that grows in the sea, which can neutralize the toxicity of Perseus Grass, but Siren Grass can also cause heat toxins, which requires the 'Ghost Moss' growing in dark areas to match.

Thus, with the combination of the three, and controlling the dosage, a prescription can be made.

Honestly, being able to come up with this prescription is somewhat lucky.

The final extracted potion is dark and emits a fishy smell.

After entering the mouth, it is as thick as浆, barely swallowed, it can feel hot from the throat to the stomach.

As for the effect?

No effect!!!

With Deep Blue, Loy can monitor in real time, and found that the potion can't be dissolved by gastric juice at all, let alone absorbed.

So, eating it directly has no effect, but it can be melted with high temperature and absorbed through the skin pores.

Thus, there is today's medicinal bath!

An hour later, the water in the bathtub has completely cooled down. Loy stepped out, only feeling full of energy, and can still carry out a round of high-intensity training.

The effect is unexpectedly good!

More importantly, in Deep Blue's detection, it does not conflict with red potion, blue potion, and battle aura essence, and can be mixed.

This result is naturally satisfactory to Loy, and there is no way not to be satisfied, mainly because in addition to the effect, the cost is quite cheap.

One serving of magic potion can make ten servings of this medicinal bath soup, which is about one hundred and fifty copper Nars.

If you buy in bulk, you can even continue to lower the price.

Of course, if there are any shortcomings, there are naturally some.

The first is that the bathtub cannot be continuously heated, the water cools quickly, and the medicinal bath effect is not good.

The second is that after the medicinal bath, there is a strange smell on the body that lasts for a long time.

Loy spent half an hour cleaning and sprayed a lot of perfume to barely cover it up.

Of course, these are not impossible to improve. Deep Blue has established a project, and the next step is to eliminate the odor.

And, based on Loy's physique, constantly adjust the dosage.

At this point, Loy's first potion recipe was freshly released. After thinking about it, Loy gave it a very distinctive name—Warming Yang and Strengthening Body Soup.

This is the style of the previous life, but Loy doesn't care.

It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the optimization project of Warming Yang and Strengthening Body Soup, Loy also finalized the research direction of the next potion.

Not a substitute for red and blue magic potions, he is not short of money at this stage, and he doesn't care about the expenses.

He chose 'Miene Grass' as the core to study a sedative drug that strips away emotions.

Miene Grass, a herb that grows in the forest, is said to grow in large quantities where Shadow Dragons are active, and is also a very small species.

In Deep Blue's recorded effects, it has the effect of calming the mind. Chewing a lot will make you exceptionally calm, even indifferent, and can maintain a stable state of mind.

Deep Blue suggested that, with this Miene Grass as the core, configure a potion that can soothe the mood and eliminate distracting thoughts.

After a semester of study, Loy has a considerable understanding of basic meditation. He can't be considered to have comprehended anything, but he is extremely familiar with every step.

Even the meditation runes that need to be outlined during meditation, he has memorized.

However, there are too many distracting thoughts and the mind is restless, he can't calm down at all, and can't even enter the meditation state.

Deep Blue's suggestion is that since efforts have no results, it is better to use potions to assist.

Loy has been suffering from basic meditation for a long time, and he agreed without hesitation. The next step is to work hard in this direction.

……

The next day, which is December 27th, 310 of the New Divine Calendar.

On this day, Loy went to the Champs-Élysées Magic Textile Factory again. As a major shareholder, he needs to let the factory workers recognize his face and give them a bonus.

This was Maruna Marquez's suggestion.

In the past year, the Champs-Élysées Magic Textile Factory has gone through thick and thin, and has been on the verge of bankruptcy several times.

These workers can stick to it, and even try to maintain the factory's operation when wages are in arrears, that is definitely true love.

Therefore, Maruna hopes to take out a sum of money and give everyone a considerable bonus.

If Loy does not agree, it can be deducted from his personal dividends, but it will still be issued in the name of the factory.

Loy did not let him pay, of course he had to do this kind of thing to buy people's hearts himself.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Moreover, Loy increased the bonus by another 10%, and distributed a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil, which he personally handed to these workers.

The reaction was naturally very good. A group of workers almost jumped up, and many people rushed up to kiss Loy's boots.

Of course, Loy did not forget to point out the traitor to Maruna and let him deal with it himself.

In fact, there is nothing to hesitate about. Traitors must die!

It was also here that Loy received an invitation from Maruna Marquez.

……

The next day, December 28, 310 of the New Divine Calendar,

On this day, in the evening, Loy took Oliveira and Hoover to attend the family banquet prepared by Maruna.

The banquet was very grand, a lot of food was prepared, and it was quite rich. There was also a specially invited band that played cheerful music.

The participants were Maruna's family, his wife, and two eight- or nine-year-old children, a boy and a girl.

As for Loy's side, he only brought Oliveira and the housekeeper Hoover.

In Maruna's words, this banquet was to express his gratitude to Loy.

If Loy hadn't taken action, the Champs-Élysées Magic Textile Factory would have gone bankrupt by now, and he would have become a rat running across the street that everyone shouted to beat.

The workers would not be able to get their wages, and they would have worked for nothing for half a year, and they would probably not even be able to afford to eat.

From this perspective, he really has to thank Loy.

……

December 29, 310 of the New Divine Calendar, is another new day.

On this day, Loy was still not idle. He was pulled to the Provence Manor by the housekeeper Hoover.

There are as many as hundreds of people gathered here, including farmers, apprentices in shops, guards coming and going, and managers of shops!

These people are the extension of the Raymond family's tentacles and the embodiment of the noble's strength.

In any case, Loy is the administrator of Auckland City appointed by Earl Raymond. Even if he is just a bastard, he is also the boss of these people.

So, they still have to meet, and then, bonuses, firewood, rice, oil and salt also have to be distributed.

The Champs-Élysées Magic Textile Factory has distributed them, and they must also be distributed here, and they must be given more.

Of course, the name is different. This is the grace of the nobles!

In this way, another busy half-day passed, and Loy only felt that these days were so tiring.

Therefore, he unhesitatingly declined the noble banquets on the 30th and 31st.

As a representative of the Raymond family, he is naturally qualified to participate, and many nobles and merchants want to fool his money even more when they see that he has made investments.

But Loy really didn't want to get involved. He hadn't practiced seriously for several days, and he felt that he was about to degenerate.

So, first he refused simply, and then pushed the housekeeper Hoover out.

This is nothing to the housekeeper Hoover. He has been the one to come forward in previous years.

Thus, two days passed quickly, until after a good night's sleep, when he woke up again, it was already January 1, 311 of the New Divine Calendar.

God's Grace Day is coming!

I always feel that my ability to write books is getting worse!
