Chapter 145: Magical Power Continuous Recovery Potion
The small wetland was in a state of panic. It’s no wonder. A monster suddenly appeared in the peaceful wetland.
“…… Julius, are you having some kind of bad fantasy?”
“Huh? I’m not!”
To the inhabitants of the marsh, the turtle must have looked like a giant monster. The residents were running away in a panic.
“Oh, catch that red frog! Be careful, it’s poisonous. Put that yellow frog in a separate bag.”
“Okay, okay.”
The knights rushed to catch the material. Hey, you have to handle it more carefully! It’s Freshness decreases. Oh, God, it’s so mangled. That’s why I wanted to do it with my own hands.
“That lizard’s tail is also material. Don’t forget to collect it.”
“Okay, I will.”
It was chaos. That’s why I said I’d do it myself.
Somehow I managed to secure the necessary materials. The quality is as good as you can imagine. It was freshly caught, so it seems to be very fresh.
“Mm, this reaction: ……”
“What is it, Julius?”
“Mandragora.”
“What’s …… Mand ……?”
It seems that the phantom material, mandragora, is growing there. I want it. Vigorous carrots grow nearby, as if to disguise the mandragora.
“I’ll go pick some right away ……”
“Wait, wait, wait, it’s too dangerous! Oh yeah, it’s that thing that sometimes kills creatures around here.”
“Um, I’m having trouble understanding what you’re saying. Can you explain it so we can understand?”
A knight with a puzzled look on his face said so. Apparently, he had never heard the legend of mandragora. I told him in a simple way “If you hear the mandragora scream when it’s pulled out, you’ll die.”
“It’s too dangerous. I can’t allow it.”
“I agree with you.”
“Eh”
The treasure was right in front of me, but I was flatly denied. if I used a silent spell that would render it incapable of emitting sound, there would have been no problem. I tried to persuade him, but he dismissed me, saying, “There is no such magic.” What should I do?
“I’ll give it a try, and if you really lose your voice, you’ll have to admit it. Silent.”
“……! ……!?……!”
It seemed like he was saying something frantically, but I couldn’t hear anything. The knights’ faces gradually become pale. Among them, the one who looked the worst was the knight who was used as a test subject for magic.
“Well? Do you believe me?”
The knight nodded his head. That’s right. If he shakes his head at this point, it might stay like this forever. After confirming this, I canceled the spell.
“This way we can retrieve the mandragora without hearing it.”
“…… sure that might be true.”
No one refuted me. The turtle was also speechless. Not wanting to take too much time, we quickly headed to the area. There we found a row of similar looking grasses.
“I want you to collect those vital carrots, too. But let’s start with the mandragora first. Silent.”
The mandragora that had received the magic twitched. It might have thought that it had been noticed. It was noticed. When he tried to pull it out, I said, “Just in case,” and moved away.
When he was sure we were far enough away, the knight pulled out the mandragora. Of course, there was no sound.
“Right? Everything was fine, right?”
“Yes, but ……”
For some reason, the knight looks about ten years older than when he first started. He seems to be having a hard time. Oh, it’s my fault. The knights who usually escort me are like, “Here we go again.” I guess it’s just a matter of getting used to it. I am sure you guys will get used to it on this trip.
I returned to my brother in high spirits, having safely acquired the mandragora.
“You’re late, Julius. I was just about to send someone to check on you.”
“I’m sorry. I found some valuable material and went to pick it.”
“Valuable material?”
“Yes, sir. Here it is!”
I showed my brother the mandragora I had just picked. It was a carrot with a split end and an eerie face on it. His face scrunched up.
“Julius, you mustn’t show your mandragora to any women, let alone mother or Rosalia, okay?”
“I-I know. You don’t like it.”
He seemed to hate it very much. As soon as we returned to the inn, he said this to me with a smile that didn’t reach the eyes. I had no idea that my brother Cain was capable of smiling like this. He was just like our parents and brother Alex.
“So, can you make magic potions with the tools you can get here?”
“Yes, I can. No problem at all.”
“Well, that’s very encouraging.”
The turtle narrows its eyes and nods. Of course, this is a lie. There was no way that this town, which mainly sold souvenirs, would have the tools to make a proper magic potion. But I have the “laboratory” skill.
Just because I wanted to concentrate alone. I occupied one of the small rooms. I quickly made a magic potion with the materials I gathered.
It was an unexpected stroke of luck that mandragora was growing there. I was planning to make a basic magic power recovery potion, but with this, I could make an advanced magic power recovery potion. With this, there would be no need to throw elementary magic power recovery into the lake. As time passes, the lake spirit’s magical power should return to its original state.
Throw the mandragora into the space created by the “Laboratory” skill. Immediately cut it into small pieces and boil it in distilled water into a gooey sauce.
The mandragora extract is firmly recovered under pressure and at high temperature. The color is quite good. The mandragora was small, but it would still be useful enough.
Then, after drying the yellow toad mucus, lizard tail, and snake shell, grind them into a powder. Dissolve them in mandragora extract, and you have completed the process.
The mandragora extract is further boiled and concentrated, and the powder is added. A thick, dark reddish-brown liquid is produced. No matter how you look at it, It looks like poison.
Advanced Magic Continuous Recovery Potion: High quality. Continuously restores magical power. Effectiveness (high). Duration (long). Tastes like green carrots.
Now I just need to get the turtle to drink this and the mission is complete. …… Will he drink it? Next time I make it, I’ll add apple and honey as a secret ingredient.
