The Dark Warrior

No, you are. Enfrea wanted to say, but gulped and spil ed the story of how she got this potion:

"Ah, erm, this was given to me as compensation by someone."

"...Huh?" Lizzie's eyes turned serious. "It is so valuable..."

"Wait a minute, granny. If I may I ask, Miss Verita, who gave it to you? Why?"

Verita who was aided by Enfrea simply explained she got the potion from a

mysterious person in full body armor. Lizzie's wrinkled deepened after hearing it:

"...Did you know that there are three types of potions?"

Without giving Verita a chance to reply, Lizzie continued:

"The first is made using only herbs. This type is showing its effects only slowly and it wil only strengthen a human's base ability. Its effects are minimal but it’s

cheap. The second is made from herbs and magic. This kind of potion shows it

effects more quickly than the first one, but it stil needs some time. If there is

time after a battle, most adventurers will use this type of recovery potion. The

last type are potions created with nothing but magic. It is made by injecting

mana into alchemic liquid. The effects of this kind of potion are immediate, but

they are very expensive. Now, which type is the potion you brought? I can't see

any herb residue, so it should be a potion made with magic. But——"

Lizzie took out a bottle fil ed with blue liquid and move it before Verita:

"This is a basic recovery potion. Notice the color difference? During their

creation recovery potions will always turn blue, but yours is red. That means the

production process of your potion is different from normal recovery potions.

Simply put, this potion is extremely rare and could revolutionize potion brewing

techniques... maybe it’s a little difficult for you to understand what this means."

After Lizzie was done with her explanation, she activated her magic:

", ."

Lizzie used two spells and her expression turned into shock and rage.

"Kukuku... Fu hahaha!"

...Maniacal laughter erupted in the tiny room. Lizzie slowly lifted her head,

revealing a crazed and terrifying smile. Verita was shocked by Lizzie's sudden

change and was speechless, she wasn't even able to move a finger.

"Kukuku! Just as I thought! Look carefully at this potion, Enfrea! This is the

ultimate form of potions. Right here! We pharmacists, alchemists and everyone

related to potion creation were unable to reach this ideal stage even after a long

period of research!"

Lizzie's cheek was blushing from over-excitement and her breathing became

haggard as she panted nonstop. Refusing to let go, she moved the potion in

front of Enfrea's face:

"Potions will deteriorate. Isn't that right?"

"Yes, of course."

Compared to Lizzie's excitement, Enfrea's tone was very calm but Verita noticed

his expression showed hints of excitement.

She doesn't know why the two of them were so excited, but she felt she had

been dragged into a major event. The potion she brought along made the

strongest pharmacist so excited.

"Potions made by using only magic are created with alchemic fluids. These

fluids are made using minerals as a base before they’re changed via alchemy,

so it is natural for them to deteriorate with time! That's why we need to cast

."

At this moment, Lizzie paused and concludes. "That’s how it was before this

moment."

Verita slightly understood Lizzie's words and stared at the red liquid in shock.

This bottle! This potion! This red potion! Not deteriorating even without

preservation magic, this was the perfect potion! No one had done this before!

According to legends, the real recovery potion was the blood of gods."

Lizzie shook the potion in her hand, the bright red liquid swirling inside.

"Of course, that’s just a legend. There is a inside joke among pharmacists that

the blood of god was blue."

A moment later, Lizzie looked at the potion that was shaking in her excitedly

trembling hand:

"This might be the real blood of god!"

The panting Lizzie, Enfrea who kept patting her back, the dumbstruck Verita.

The silence of these three was finally broken by Lizzie:

"...You came to find out the effects of this potion, right? It’s equivalent to 2nd tier recovery magic. Ignoring the rarity and the intangible values, it’s price is 8 gold

coins. By the way, if you add the intangible values, the potion’s price would be

high enough to kil for."

Verita's whole body trembled.

Just the value and its effect was very high for the iron medal adventurer Verita.

The problem was the intangible value that even made Lizzie look like she was

watching with her sharp eyes for the opportunity to steal it.

But there were stil doubts in her heart. Why did the man in the full body armor

offer her this potion so easily? Who was the person under that armor?

As countless question arose in her heart, Lizzie asked:

"Do you want to sell it to us? I wil give you a good price, how about 32 gold

coins?"

Verita's eyes became even wider.

The offered price was an amazing amount for Verita. As long as one didn’t

splurge, this amount of money would be able to feed 3 families for 3 years.
