Chapter 15.1: Alkimas Workshop (2)
Looking at the various potions sealed in flasks and sealed with corks, I felt a strangely laboratory-like atmosphere.
It wasn’t long before the clerk, who hurriedly escaped, returned with two figures in two.
One was a woman with frizzy hair and wearing a dull robe, another was a man who looked like an escort guard.
I knew right away who the woman was.
Scarlett.
I didn’t really intend to meet her right away, but somehow it just happened.
It was natural for the owner to step forward personally, since I was a customer who said he would buy a potion worth three platinum coins.
[Lv.41]
And the male side was… the younger brother, right?
I knew Scarlett had a younger brother.
Unlike Scarlett, I remembered it was a setting that was contributing to the force of the workshop by walking the path of swordsmanship rather than alchemy. Al that level, he was quite capable.
Scarlett, who found me, strode towards me and greeted me right away.
“I’m Scarlett Artima, the workshop owner.”
It was a tired voice with haggard eyes.
Even in the game, it was not surprising to remember her as a character who was half crazy about alchemy research.
“I’ve heard the story. Are you planning to buy Scarlet?”
I knew it was the name of the potion, but somehow it sounded strange.
I nodded.
“Do I have to pay the whole amount now?”
“No, you just have to pay half the price in advance. Rather, I came here to explain the potion’s efficacy…”
She put on a strange expression, as if my attitude to purchase without asking was strange.
“If you don’t mind, may I ask you where you are from?”
“Should I tell you?”
“It’s unnecessary, but it’s better to have a clear identity. First, it’s an item that I invented, so you can’t blame me for being wary.”
She must be wondering if I was from a dangerous organization, or if I came from another workshop. She must be concerned about those.
A person willing to pay a large sum of three platinum coins couldn’t be just an ordinary customer.
I thought for a while and then replied.
“Shall we discuss your potion first?”
“Okay. I’ll treat you to tea, so let’s sit down for a while.”
She passed the topic with little concern and led me to a room in the main studio building.
I came here with the intention of just observing, but somehow it ended up like this.
I listened to Scarlett explain about the potion over tea.
“First, since it is basically a healing potion, its regenerative effect is very excellent. It is possible to attach parts that have been amputated as long as time has not passed. In addition, it can restore damage to the internal organs to some extent by drinking it. Of course, pouring it directly is much better and more effective.”
“Is it impossible to completely regenerate the severed parts?”
At my question, Scarlett looked at me with a slightly absurd expression.
“Even if it’s an elixir, that would be hard to do.”
Elixir was the name given to some of the best potions on the continent. In short, she was telling me not to talk nonsense.
“How long will it take to fully heal a broken bone?”
I asked this question because I wanted to compare the effect of my super regeneration to her best potion.
Scarlett replied.
“It depends on the location of the broken bone and the severity, but in case of a finger fracture, it usually heals within a minute. For an arm or leg, it takes at least a few minutes.”
As expected, my super regeneration was much better.
“Other side effects include…”
As I listened to the explanation that followed, I was lost in my thoughts for a while.
Scarlett was an excellent alchemist.
I didn’t know exactly what her skill level was now, but in the game’s story, with her own ability, she could create an elixir.
It meant that she was a talented person with the potential to develop that much in the future, even if she could not reach it right now. There was nothing wrong with keeping the kite together.
Scarlett’s first appearance in the game was with the crumbling of Alkimas Workshop.
It was because the Varia Merchant Corps, who coveted the workshop’s potions and Scarlett’s ability, did several dirty tricks.
Didn’t they say that they are almost monopolizing Enrock’s northern merchants?
I asked Floto, the head butler, to get all the details.
Even though Alkimas was a historic workshop in the capital, such as capital and connections, they were far behind Varia.
According to the known future, after this, Alkimas would be half absorbed by them and would be completely tied up to them.
And originally, as the story progressed, the player’s performance would safely restore her identity, but…
Now I just have to solve it.
It was too simple to do with my current influence.
