Episode 664: Win Your Heart (8)
In short, the potion Lacia made could be said to be purely for “industrial use.”
It could also be used for medical purposes when in a hurry, but since the amount of mana contained in the potion is large, only a few people will not be able to take it carelessly.
Ray liked that even more.
Land reform he was trying to do.
To put it simply, it was an extraordinary act of pouring expensive potions on the ground.
The cost is also an expense, and since the amount of potions is small, a lot of manpower will be used.
‘If mass production is possible…’
In that case, it would be more profitable to buy potions from Lacia than to buy them from the Holy Land.
In case you want to
Ray asked with half expectation and half worry.
“Can you make it in large quantities?”
Lacia pondered a little, then nodded.
“There’s nothing I can’t make as long as I have the ingredients.”
“What is the material?”
When asked subtly, Lacia tried to answer naturally, but frowned.
“Didn’t I say it was a trade secret? My older brother has a mischievous side.”
Showing a more wary look than before, she brought her index finger to her lips and spoke one by one.
“First of all, what I need the most is a flower called ‘Egomilia’.”
“If it’s Egomilia…”
I’ve heard of it.
A land full of poison.
It is a flower that is said to grow in a cavity where no light enters.
It withers immediately when exposed to light, and it is not easy to obtain because it is so rare that it is comparable to an elixir.
Having to find such a flower raises doubts about the identity of the potion.
“I bet you don’t need just one.”
“yes. The second ingredient is the tears of the noble.”
This is a very difficult material.
Tears of the noble.
How do you tell who is virtuous and who is not?
Did he even read that kind of mind from his expression?
Lacia further explained.
“If you seek the tears of a person who has lived his entire life only for others, the material is over. Of course, there are limits to mass production, but if the two materials are met, production will be much easier.”
Aside from the easy one, where the hell did you get those two ingredients?
Tears of a person who has lived his entire life only for others?
Do you mean hitting a saint you respect so much and getting even tears from him?
Stunned, he looked at Lacia.
Her face was calm despite making such an outrageous request.
Looking at the strangely specific and difficult materials required, it even seemed strangely similar to the image of a witch.
I’m sure she wasn’t a witch in her previous life.
“How many sheep can I get?”
“well. I’ll have to make it to know the exact amount, but at least it will be enough to fill the well.”
Hearing the answer, Ray was relieved.
First of all, if you start plowing from the center of the territory, which can be called the point, you will be able to get satisfactory results with that amount.
* * *
Ray, who had a lot of thoughts about the potion, moved quickly.
As he was about to leave, Sein approached as if he was sorry.
“Are you leaving already? You can wait a little longer.” “Sorry. I need a lot of things.”
You have to come back home anyway.
Ale and Sain ended their goodbyes by waving to Ete once.
After tidying up the luggage compartment and laying blankets, Ray put Ete on board and immediately rode his horse to the Duchy of Soleil.
When I was sitting in the driver’s seat and running, Ete, who at first liked the scenery outside, started talking to me, as if she quickly got tired of it.
“I heard that bandits will appear if you go on a mountain road like this…”
“Bandits? It’s been a while.”
In the old days, I would have met the bandits a long time ago, but now, several guilds have paved the way.
If there were still surviving wild plants, the nearby merchants would have hired mercenaries to clean them up.
“Unfortunately, there are no wild plants in the place where there is a big guild.”
I don’t even know why I’m sorry.
Ete simply nodded quietly.
It’s kind of a relieved expression.
“It sucks.”
Ray, intending to shake off the whole bandit from head to toe, smacked his lips.
After running for a while, the sun started to set.
There was still half a day left before entering the Duchy of Soleil.
“It would be better to sleep here.”
The timing is good because it is about to start passing the valley.
Ray stopped the wagon, skillfully spread the seat, and started a bonfire.
He picks up a twig from nearby and pushes it between the bonfires.
Growl-!
“Come to think of it, it’s time to eat.”
Make a wooden stand to hang the iron pot on.
As he took out the ingredients Sain had prepared from the wagon’s luggage compartment and put them in a heated pot, the savory scent soon filled the forest.
Ete, who was sitting on a tree with only the stump as a dining table, unknowingly rode the rhythm with her fingers.
Tak-Tak-
In line with that sound, Ray tore the dried jerky into bite-size pieces.
It doesn’t add much, but it looks delicious enough to make your mouth water.
As the dry weight ripens and loosens, the meat ingredients come up one by one.
“Homemade food is good, but it tastes like this when you are homeless.”
Having already spent so many years outside, his taste remained at the level of salted beef jerky.
When you’re just scooping soup and about to transfer it to a plate.
A group of people took a hit on his mood.
‘Are you a bandit?’
A thought came to my mind, but I shook my head.
To be called a bandit, the mana in his body is clean.
It seems that they are quite competent, so they seem to be knights.
Let’s keep stirring the transformation from soup to porridge.
A group of courteous people appeared over the bushes.
A little worn, but looking at the old-fashioned clothes and tidy impression, they seem to be nobles.
The silk thread drawn on the chest was a pattern I had never seen before.
The man standing in front of them spoke up.
“Excuse me. While wandering through the forest, I came to see the light. Sorry for the first meeting, but could you get me some food?”
see the light
It was clear that he had come because of the smell of food spreading throughout the area.
Ray, who had not brought much food, pondered and then nodded.
“I’ll share some.”
Bringing food back from the luggage compartment, he handed the food to the man, excluding their own food.
At most, the amount is about the size of the palm of an adult man.
Even more than half of them were not beef jerky, but vegetables, so their expressions were not good.
The man bowed his head and saluted.
“Thank you. This area was in trouble because it seemed that even wild animals did not roam. If you tell me your name, I will definitely repay you for this favor.”
“What kind of grace is this? are you okay.”
While talking, he served the appetizing soup on his plate.
One of the crowd who had been watching the scene came forward and spoke up.
“We are the White Guard. You should know that name.”
The White Guard was a group supported by the Kingdom of Silia.
Ray, who had heard from Lacia, answered.
“I’ve heard of it.”
The blonde haired man slightly frowned at the still undesirable answer.
“That is very fortunate. We are traveling all over the world and learning from famous people in each country. Celia Kingdom is also supporting us like this.”
“So what?”
When he couldn’t communicate, he let out his energy with the intention of threatening.
“I feel like this is not enough for us to eat. Wouldn’t you like to put your heart into it a little more?”
The tone of speech was already close to the lower age.
Ray snorted as his sharpened spirit chilled the surroundings.
“Did I say anything else and was you asking for more food?”
It is pitiful to be lost in such a remote place.
Ray took out another handful of food from the luggage compartment and handed it over.
Feeling humiliated by him, the blond man frowned even more.
“…what?”
When mana was raised to the fullest, the clothes swelled tightly.
Sensing that the situation was not good, the group stopped him.
“Stop it. Isn’t it us who asked for help first?”
“okay. When you travel, you can meet various people.”
However, after entering the White Guard, his confidence soared to the sky, and he was no longer listening to his colleagues.
Sreureung-!
The blond man drew his sword.
“Pull it out. Seeing that you also carry a sword, you must have mastered swordsmanship. I will bury the sin of insulting me with the sword.”
The tip of the sword filled with mana headed for Mokwooldae.
Ray, who was criticized even after giving food, was not in a good mood.
However, he suppressed his anger once, fearing that a power struggle would break out and Ete would not see it.
“They get along well with each other, don’t they?” Seeing that, the man who thought Ray was frightened became even more arrogant.
Thinking that he could show off the swordsmanship he had learned in his family, he now assumed a posture as if he would wield the sword at any moment.
“It’s already late! Draw your sword right now before I run out of patience!”
If Soonbok had seen it, he would have clicked his tongue, saying he was crazy, but unfortunately he wasn’t there.
“Stop it now. That friend would have fully understood. Besides, aren’t we the ones who got help?”
The first man intervened between the two in an attempt to stop them before a fight broke out.
“Dale, that guy ignored me. Shouldn’t it be worth paying for it?”
“The white guards attacking ordinary people. If we are not bandits, how can we do that?”
At the words of a man named Dale, the blonde hair stopped instantly.
Certainly, harassing powerless ordinary people was far from the path the Baekwidan pursued.
As he said, that’s what bandits do.
Anyway, if someone reported his actions to the kingdom, he could have been kicked out of the White Guard.
‘I’ll have to step back from here.’
The man let out a drool and inserted his sword.
“Okay. Let me bear with you.”
“Good idea.”
Ray was dumbfounded at the way they played drums and drums among themselves.
What’s more, he was already offended, and he was a white guard and a thousand guards, and he was invisible.
The taste of rice had already disappeared, and he spat.
“I heard that Celia created an organization, so this is not a beggar’s den.”
Begging for food in a forest like this would not be done unless you are a very crazy adventurer.
In the first place, there was no thought of being considerate of the people who were not polite.
At his words, this time most people frowned.
“You talk too much.”
“You’re a kid who doesn’t know the subject.”
They looked at Ray with open hostility.
