Rise of the Dark Witch

Meeting the culprit Heidi but being unable to do anything against him made Maisie extremely angry and depressed.

At this time, Maisie looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and was covered in fur. As she walked, she turned back and glared in the direction of Heidi and the others.

Looking at Roja, whose face was still calm and didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all, Maisie stamped her feet anxiously.

"Master Vic, what should we do next? This potion mission is simply impossible to complete!"

"Why don't we go find Miss Tina?"

"No matter what you say, you are from the Duke Cyril family like her. Considering the blood connection, as long as you plead with her, she will definitely lend a helping hand."

Seeing Roja's head shaking slightly, Macy persuaded her again: "Are you planning to take on this task? Do you want to refine a thousand bottles of ox blood potion within a month?"

"I believe that you, Master Vic, with your extraordinary talent in pharmacy, may actually be able to do it, but where are the ingredients for the pharmacy?"

"One thousand bottles of ox blood potion, plus the failure and loss during the refining process, require at least 1,200 raw materials to be prepared."

"One thousand two hundred ingredients, the price is at least three thousand gold coins."

Mercy has been serving Vic for more than half a year, and she knows that Vic's father is just a baron, and that the family, which was not very wealthy to begin with, has spent a lot of money to train Vic, a pharmacist.

Vic has been having a hard time since Maisie served him.

If you don’t have money to buy medicinal materials, how can you make potions like this?

Realizing that Roja was deep in thought because of her words, Maisie, who felt that her persuasion was effective, urged her more strongly: "Even if you want to challenge yourself, you don't need to take such a big risk, right?"

"Messie." Roja suddenly said.

"Yes!" Maisie stood up straight reflexively.

"Go to the Lunsen Hotel on Hualien Street to find Adventurer Harder and ask him to help me prepare three thousand raw materials for the ox blood potion." Roja ordered.

"Walien Street? Lenson Hotel? Adventurer Hard?" Maisie looked confused.

She knows Hualien Street, the Lenson Hotel, Adventurer Hard?

Maisie knew that many adventurers would rely on pharmacists, but she didn't expect that Roja also had adventurer servants.

Judging from Roja's tone, there should be no problem with the raw materials of the medicine.

Although the problem of raw materials has been solved, there is still little hope of completing this impossible potion task.

"Master Vic..."

"Go early and come back early."

"learn."

Macy reluctantly left.

Roya, who was alone, walked towards the library.

"How should the ox blood potion be refined?"

Both Roja and Vic studied the herbal school, and had no experience in the beast school and the ore school at all.

Vic didn't want to be distracted, but Roja had no chance.

"A thousand bottles of ox blood potion a month?"

"It's a bit difficult."

Roja said this with a smile on his face and no hint of embarrassment in his tone.

To complete the mission, the first step is to learn how to refine ox blood potion.

The library of Young Lions Hospital, which is open to pharmacists in the hospital for free, has a complete collection of books on pharmacy, including methods for refining high-level medicines, not to mention common primary medicines such as ox blood medicine.

Come to the library.

After standing in front of this large library covering hundreds of acres for a few seconds, Roja raised his legs and entered the library.

Since only pharmacists from the Pharmacists' Union can enter this library, and even in Scarborough Market, the number of pharmacists does not exceed a thousand. The total number of pharmacists who come to the library every day is only dozens or hundreds. .

There are only dozens or hundreds of people in the three-story large library covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres, making the entire library look very deserted.

After glancing at the books arranged on the bookshelf with fiery eyes, Roja walked straight into the area where the books on pharmacy of the Beast School were kept, and came to the bookshelf where the knowledge about basic potions was kept.

Roja did not immediately take out the book that recorded the refining method of ox blood potion and read it.

Because the purpose of his coming to the library this time was not only to see how to refine ox blood potion, but also to learn the potion knowledge of the Beast School from shallow to deep.

"The Function of Bones" "The Mysterious Power of Blood" "The Medicinal Value of Grass Rabbit" "The Advantages and Disadvantages of the Beast School"...

Roja moved hundreds of introductory books on the beast genre from the bookshelf in one go.

After Roja's brain was strengthened many times, his memory and analytical abilities increased dramatically.

Now he can achieve photographic memory even without the help of the evidence of two souls.

But the proof of two souls is not just as simple as photographic memory.

The Certificate of Two Souls can fully understand the content of the book while reading it. It is like slowly chewing the knowledge in the book and studying it for several months. Forget about being able to touch porcelain.

When Roja first awakened the Two Souls Certificate, it took about one second to read a page of a book.

Now that his strength is not what it used to be, he can read dozens of pages in one second.

Just flipping through dozens of pages in a second in the library, reading a book in a few seconds is really shocking and can easily arouse others' suspicion.

Of course, Luo Ya would not read page by page, that would be too slow.

He directly used his mental power to scan!

In the eyes of onlookers, Roja just picked up a book and flipped through it for about ten seconds before switching to the next book when he felt dissatisfied.

Who would have thought that Roya had read the entire book and fully understood the knowledge in the book?

There is a lot of pharmacy knowledge about the Beast School, but most of it introduces the medicinal value of animal monsters.

Sometimes, the medicinal value of a monster's body can be introduced into more than a dozen books.

How many animals are there in this world?

How many monsters are there?

Can anyone really read through the dozens or millions of books that introduce the medicinal value, medicinal parts and uses of animals?

Even if he reads a book at the speed of Roja in a few seconds, reading it 24 hours a day, it will take several months to finish it.

Roja, who originally planned to read all the books in the library, had to make a choice.

Swish, swish, swish——

Roja closed the finished books one after another.

Seeing the mountains to the west turn red under the sunset, Roja knew it was time to leave.

"well."

I spent a whole day in the library and read less than 3,000 books. It was simply impossible to read the entire library in the next forty days.

I can only find a way later.

Roya stood up and walked towards the library door.

Looking at the elegant girl with purple-gold eyes who was holding a thick ancient book and walking towards her with the support of many followers, Roja quickly lowered his head and greeted:

"Hello Miss Tina."

The person who came was none other than Tina Cyril, one of the four greatest pharmacy geniuses in the inner courtyard.

Tina looked at Roja who met by chance, smiled and said: "Are you here to learn how to refine ox blood potion?"

"Yes, it is!"

As if he didn't expect that a big shot like Tina would know about him, Roja nodded in "horror".

Tina rolled up the hair around her ears, revealing her swan-like slender neck, "Read a book to learn how to make potions? How can you learn it? Unfortunately, I am from the Ore School, and I don't know much about the Beast School, so I can't guide you. .”

"You can go find Pharmacist Bell later. He should be able to help you."

Faced with Tina's kindness, Roja quickly thanked her.

Roja could see that Tina was trying to win over him.

A genius who is number one in the outer courtyard and will most likely become a senior pharmacist in the future. Moreover, their surname is Cyril. They were all members of the same family hundreds of years ago. It is normal for Tina to win over them.

It's just that Vic, who used to be withdrawn and unable to communicate with others, couldn't detect Tina's good intentions towards her, and with Tina's status and arrogance, it was impossible to condescend to Vic and win over her openly.

So even though the two of them had the same surname of Cyril, they had almost no interaction with each other after staying in the Young Lions' Home for so long.

"Thank you, Miss Tina! I will never forget this kindness!" Roja said "touched".

"Yes." Tina nodded slightly, "If you have any difficulties, you can come to me."

Tina left, but everyone knew that Roya had a backer.

Even if he can't refine a thousand bottles of ox blood potion in a month, with Miss Tina's protection, he will never be kicked out of the Young Lion's Home.

Under the envious gaze of everyone, Roja left the library.

The setting sun sets in the west.

Roja walked in the sunset, touching his chin and thinking.

"Should we go find Pharmacist Bell?"

The books in the library do record the method of refining the ox blood potion. They clearly describe what materials are needed to make the ox blood potion and the order in which the materials should be put in.

The question is, how easy is it to refine the potion?

If you give all the cooking videos and ingredients of a chef to a novice, will the novice be able to make dishes as delicious as the chef?

Moreover, the medicine refining method recorded in the book lacks many details.

Some inconspicuous details, such as whether to stir seven or eight times during the refining process, may greatly affect the refining of the potion.

"After reading so many books, even if I don't rely on the evidence of two souls, I can finally get the ox blood potion through trial and error."

"And with the certificate of two souls, the speed is even faster."

"But since Tina introduced Bell Pharmacist to me, let's go and have a look. It's always good to have someone teach you to save some trial and error time and cost."

…

"Dong, dong, dong..."

Roya knocked on Bell's pharmacist's door.

Crunch——

The door opened.

Pharmacist Bell looked at Roya standing outside the door with a confused expression.

"Hello, Pharmacist Bell, I was introduced by Miss Tina. If you have time, can you guide me on how to refine the ox blood potion?" Roja asked politely.

"Sorry, I have guests now." Pharmacist Bell refused.

"Then when will you be free?" Roja asked again.

"The convoy heading to Green City will leave in more than a month. I have a lot of things to do." Pharmacist Bell replied.

There was not a single word "no" in what Pharmacist Bell said, but the meaning of rejection was everywhere.

Pharmacist Bell was bribed by Heidi?

As soon as this conjecture emerged, it was rejected by Roja.

Heidi is a scumbag compared to Tina.

How could Pharmacist Bell offend the promising Tina because of a mere Heidi?

So the reason is -

Roja glanced into the room through the crack in the door.

After knowing who Bell Pharmacist's customer was, Roja knew clearly.

"excuse me."

Roja's friendly tone turned cold.

The moment he turned to leave, the door behind him closed tightly with a bang.

"If I remember correctly, Apothecary Bell's customers are Aaron's subordinates?"

Aaron, like Tina, is one of the four inner courtyard pharmacists.

And I heard that the two of them were quite difficult to deal with, and their forces often clashed.

Although Tina is a member of Duke Cyril's family, she is only one of many daughters among the seventh son of the current Duke Cyril.

He is not particularly valued in Duke Cyril's family.

Although Aaron only comes from a family of earls, he is the favored legitimate son of the current Earl of Kailan and is expected to become the next heir of the Earl of Kailan family.

One is the granddaughter who is not valued by the Duke, and the other is the legitimate son of the current earl. There is not much difference in status between the two. Strictly speaking, Aaron's future is better than Tina's.

The two went head-to-head in the Young Lions Yard, and many pharmacists took sides.

Bell Pharmacist used to belong to the Tina faction, but now it seems that he has been bribed by the Aaron faction.

Of course, people from the Aaron faction would not help Roya, a person from the Tina faction.

"What does it look like for a bunch of young people to form cliques all day long instead of focusing on studying pharmacy?"

Roja didn't care about being rejected.

Pharmacist Bell's guidance was just a dispensable thing for him, and it would not affect his ability to refine a thousand bottles of ox blood potion in one month.

…

Return to your residence.

Maisie has returned with a bunch of medicinal materials.

"Master Vic, these are 300 materials for the Ox Blood Potion. The adventurers named Hard said that the remaining 2,700 materials will be collected in the next ten days." Maisie pointed to the The material in the corner said.

Macy looked a little pale.

"Are you okay?" Roya asked.

"It's okay, it's just that Master Vic, your friend Hard Adventurer is a little too... too strong." Maisie stammered in reply.

Not only was he strong, he was so huge that Mercy even wondered if Hard was a hybrid between a giant and a human.

The moment she saw Harder, surrounded by the two-meter-tall Harder, Maisie felt that it was difficult for her to even breathe.

At that moment she couldn't help but doubt.

"This terrifying man with muscles swollen as ugly as tumors, with ten hideous wounds on his face, and centipede-like scars climbing on his bare head, is he really the Harder that Master Vic mentioned?"

"How did Master Vic know such a scary guy who looks like a bad guy at first sight?"

Under the shadow of Hard, Mercy's eyes fell on the big knife held by Hard, which was longer than her height. Mercy's whole body was trembling. If her legs hadn't been clamped together faster, she would have almost died. It should be leaked in public.

Fortunately, the negotiation process went smoothly.

After getting the things and getting a reply from Hader, Maisie came back with the things as if running away.

She never wanted to meet that horrible Hader again.

She really wanted to remind Roya to be wary of Harder, but when she thought that Harder seemed to be quite gentle and polite in addition to his scary appearance, she really couldn't bear to say bad things about him behind his back.

Had a meal.

Read a dozen books brought back from the library.

Roya is ready to "rest".

It looks like he is resting, but in fact he is preparing to practice.

Roja, who planned to practice all night as usual, felt a headache when he saw Maisie standing shyly in his room, who had changed into a beautiful and fluffy maid outfit.

The maid outfit Macy is wearing now is not the one she usually wears for work.

The maid outfits worn at work are actually very simple. After all, they have to do housework, and beauty is second, and practicality is first.

The maid costume she is wearing now must have been specially designed for a certain purpose.

The skirt is less than the knee, the fluttering belt, various flower-style decorations, revealing the smooth back...

I have to say it's pretty good-looking, and maid lovers won't be able to resist it.

But Roja had no particular interest in the maid.

Rather, in his opinion, practicing to become stronger is 100 million times more important than making out with a girl!

But considering that he made crazy demands for Maisie just last night, making Maisie fly in the clouds for several hours without landing.

As a result, I left him alone the next day. Isn't it bad?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Roja said, "Let's feed her in a few dozen minutes first."

Roja waved for Macy to come over.

He held Macy's slender waist with one hand, and gently stroked Macy's little head with the other.

He opened his mouth and bit into Macy's cheek, which was so red and tender it could drip.
