Chapter 62 – Urgent News
I sent the blueprints to Edward and the others, and built a cold/warm air blower for Miss Fabienne and the others. After arranging to have the completed blower delivered to Miss Fabienne and the others, I immediately sold the blueprints to the magic tool masters.
The magic tool masters of the Margrave Heine household were delighted. In addition, I also sold the shower-related Magic tools. These probably won’t have the same explosive power as the cold/warm air blowers, but they should sell slowly and steadily.
With this, I can finally catch my breath. It may be time to resume development of magic potions. But the problem is the ingredients for the magic potion. Since they can’t be purchased in town, the number of magic potions I can make is limited. The magic potions I can make on hand are at best intermediate level recovery potions.
If only I had the materials, I could make something better.
“Julius-sama, a letter has arrived from master.”
“From father? I wonder what it is.”
When I had finished my lunch, a servant brought me a letter. I regularly send letters to my family in the royal capital. It was strange to receive letters from the Royal Capital in succession, since I was planning to write a reply to the letter that came from There last time today.
I had a bad feeling about this. My sister Rosalia, who is sitting next to me, is also looking at my face as if she is wondering what I am thinking. I received a paper knife from the servant and checked the letter inside.
My blood boiled.
“Grandfather and Grandmother have collapsed, ……?”
“Brother!”
Rosalia picked up my voice as I mumbled unintentionally. I patted Rosalia on the head to reassure her and read the rest of the letter.
According to the letter, it seems that the food served at a certain restaurant in the royal capital was mixed with poison. And it seems that grandfather and grandmother who happened to be eating there fell ill from the poison.
They are currently undergoing medical treatment, but they wanted me and Rosalia to come to the royal capital too, just in case.
…… Was it really a “fluke”? Is it possible that they were after Grandpa, or even Grandma? Grandma is one of the highest ranking magical Potion masters in this country. If Grandma were to disappear, it would have a great impact on our country. What does that mean?
“Brother?”
“Oh, I’m sorry, Rosalia. We’re going to have to hurry to the royal capital from now on. I’ve heard that the road to the royal capital won’t be easy, so be prepared for that. I’m going to go talk to Lionel.”
Saying this, I handed the letter to Rosalia. Rosalia read it and came clinging to me with a small scream.
After somehow stroking Rosaria’s head to calm her down, I left the rest to the servants and hurried to the Knights’ quarters.
When I arrived at the dorm, it seemed that it was just time for a break. I found Lionel in his office at just the right moment.
“Lionel, something bad happened. Grandma was poisoned.”
“What? Margaret-sama!? How is she?”
“I don’t know. All it said was that she collapsed together with grandfather. But I believe her condition is urgent. The letter said to come to the royal capital as soon as possible.”
“We will prepare to leave immediately.”
Lionel and the knights present moved in a flurry. Can we make it in time? But we have to do it.
“Lionel, I need to use Grandma’s mixing room.”
“Julius-sama…”
“There might be the materials I want over there. I’ll make a ‘panacea’ that can neutralize any kind of poison. Perhaps I may be able to get it in time.”
“I understand ……. But I will take all the responsibility if something goes wrong. I will not allow you to use it unless you agree to that.”
Lionel looked at me with strong eyes. Those eyes. I know those eyes, the eyes of determination, of never backing down.
“Okay. I promise you.”
“I’ll bring you the keys right away.”.
Lionel ran out. I went back to my room, filled my bag with as much of the elementary magic recovery potion I had hidden away, and hurried to the annex where the old lady was staying.
As long as I have the ingredients, I can make the elixir. There was no need to worry about failure. I’ve made it many times before, and the success rate is 100 percent. Have confidence.
“Julius-sama, I have the key for you.”
“Thank you. I hope I get away with just a slap on the wrist from father. ……”
“I’ll go with you.”
We arrived at the concoction room on the third floor of the annex. The door is locked tight. Lionel opened it with a careful hand.
When he opened the door, I smelled the unpleasant odor of an elementary recovery medicine that I had smelled once before.
“So this is grandmother’s new studio. Is that the box with the materials in it …… that?”
I found a metal box placed in the room. It too was locked. Lionel checked and unlocked it with a clank.
“The lock opened. I don’t know what’s in there, so please check carefully.”
“All right, Lionel. I’ll be fine from here. Hurry up and prepare to head to the royal Capital.”
“Yes, sir. I will leave the keys here.”**
Lionel must have realized that I didn’t want him to see me making the potion. Lionel complied meekly. That’s Lionel. I was going to use my “laboratory” skills, so that helped a lot, to be honest.
After making sure Lionel left the room, I opened the box. There were some materials mixed in that I had never seen before, but most of them I had seen before.
“I think I can make an advanced recovery potion. A strong antidote would work too. The leaves of the World Tree……There is one. It’s not well-preserved, but it’ll have to do.”
I laid out the necessary materials on the table. They are all precious materials. I thought I wouldn’t be able to make a few. ……
“This is only just barely enough material for one. I can only save one person. ……?”
What do I do? Gather the materials now? No, that’s impossible. I can’t buy the ingredients for the potion. And they are rare. They won’t be so easy to get.
I can only make one bottle, but I’ll still make it. I’ll think about who to use it for when I get to the royal capital.
I used my “Laboratory” skill.
