The Genius Blacksmith's Game
The Dragon King's Blood. (2)
Alchemist Mandala.
His dream was to create an elixir of transcendence.
The reason for wanting to create the Elixir of Transcendence is that it can become a 'legend' desired by everyone in this world.
However, finding the materials to create such a transcendent elixir was nearly impossible.
However, Mandala achieved her dream by meeting a man.
It is thanks to Wang Hyun-soo, who is right in front of me.
At that time, if Hyun-soo had not brought the materials to create the Elixir of Transcendence, Mandala would not have been able to become the legendary alchemist.
Therefore, it is the legend of the alchemist, known to be more valuable than ordinary legends, and the reason why Mandala serves Hyunsu.
However, even that mandala was a bit absurd this time.
"There's no way a potion that heals disabilities could be that easy, is there?"
Hyunsu has one expectation.
“It is a potion with the power of eternal youth. If it can grant immortality, wouldn’t it be able to heal the body as well?”
Just because it possesses the power of eternal youth does not mean it is omnipotent. The important thing is the ingredients. Since eternal youth is clearly linked to aging, it is a form of treatment. It is a concept of treating aged cells one by one. However, where is the guarantee that there is an ingredient capable of healing even permanent wounds?
It's a disaster.
Because it meant that without that ingredient, it would be completely impossible.
Even though he said that, Mandala spoke.
“……For now, if such an ingredient exists, it might be possible. Of course, even if such an ingredient exists, it certainly wouldn’t be easy.”
Just because someone is a legendary alchemist doesn't mean they can make it instantly.
“I will give it a try to extract it. However, if that component is not found when I attempt the extraction, I will not be able to restore the Dragon King’s fatigue.”
“Ugh… I get it. Do your best, Mandala.”
"yes."
Hyun-su didn't know he would have to face such a huge penalty.
A penalty where you can lose even the original effects of the Dragon King's Blood?
The alchemist Mandala led Hyunsu.
Boom-
As he closed the door, the noise from the outside was completely cut off, and a huge cauldron was situated in the center.
It is not a common metal.
It is the exclusive artifact of the alchemist Mandala, the 'Alchemy Cauldron,' which is a legendary artifact.
Soon, Mandala stood in front of the cauldron.
“……I never dreamed I would end up breaking down the Dragon King’s blood.”
Mandala tilted the bottle and poured the liquid into the pot.
Blood gurgled like waves inside the pot, and huge steam rose.
Blue steam was engulfing the entire workshop.
[Starting the extraction to identify the components of the Dragon King's blood.]
[Ingredient verification rate 2%… … ]
[Ingredient verification rate 23%… … ]
[Ingredient verification rate 54%… … ]
I was able to hear the notification because Hyunsu had requested confirmation of the Dragon King's blood components.
Shhhhh-
Shhhhhh-
A sound like small waves spreads inside the small pot.
The Dragon King's blood was surging like the sea.
The color of the blood, which had been blue, began to turn red.
[Ingredient verification rate 75%… … ]
[Ingredient verification rate 82%… … ]
Soon, the legendary alchemist Mandala infused it with magic.
Along with the infused magical power, the various powers possessed by the alchemist Mandala were imbued.
[Legendary Extraction is activated.]
[Achieves high-purity extraction that overwhelmingly surpasses ordinary alchemists.]
[Legendary Ingredient Verification is activated.]
[Overwhelmingly surpasses ordinary alchemists to verify ingredients without margin of error.]
[Ingredient verification rate 92%… … ]
[The ingredient sought by the Alchemist Mandala is an ingredient capable of curing disabilities.]
Please, please… …
If it's not there, it's all for nothing.
The Dragon King's blood effectively lost its effect, and the attempt to create a cure also failed.
[Ingredient verification rate 100%.]
[Ingredient extraction successful!]
Mandala wore a subtle expression after finishing the ingredient extraction.
Hyunsu thought that he had failed.
but…….
“It closely resembles an ingredient with astonishing regenerative abilities. It contains as much as 70% of the ingredients needed to make the potion Your Highness mentioned. At this level, it is worth a try. However, the required materials are also considerable. I believe Your Highness will have to procure them for us.”
“Don’t worry about that, I can fully prepare that for you.”
Then, first, you will need the roots and branches of the World Tree, the Primordial Regeneration Tree, the Flower of Memory, and the like.
“……Those things are too amazing?”
Hyunsu changed his stance.
"Normally, the World Tree roots and branches are the most difficult materials to obtain, but since these are easy, you should get the others for me, right?"
“Hmm… I get it.”
Hyun-su opened an auction house to buy the Primordial Regeneration Water, the Flower of Memory, and other items.
Purchasing Unique and Legendary items was not difficult, and Hyunsu could easily obtain World Tree roots and branches from the World Tree.
Originally, as Mandala said, it would have been a material that was nearly impossible to obtain.
All ingredients are ready.
It was the moment when the making of the potion to overcome the alchemist Mandala's disability began.
***
I want to succeed.
Mandala looked at the materials placed in front of him.
The roots and branches of the World Tree, the primordial regenerative water in a bottle, and the blue flower of memory.
It was enough to attempt a total of five times.
The reason he wants to succeed is not because of Hyun-su's request.
For alchemists, overcoming 'disabilities' is, from the start, the realm of a dream.
Something that cannot be created by making it.
However, the tremendous materials ahead make it possible to realize it.
Your Majesty brought it in a flash, but you wouldn't know… … .
Mandala was surprised by Hyunsu once again.
Most people could never obtain each and every one of these materials.
Even the mandala had never seen such precious material before.
also.
"Do you mean to say you need such a potion for someone named An-o? Your Majesty, really."
He is a very affectionate person.
Normally, he would have cursed, but since he was a citizen of the country of Hyun, Mandala did not.
That power led him here.
He brought Luxio.
Since I made Bella loyal.
I'll start.
Finely chop the roots and branches of the World Tree.
Mix the primordial regenerative water contained in the bottle with the blue flower of memory.
The most important thing in alchemy is 'ratio'.
Only perfect proportions produce the desired result.
Only when the proper balance is achieved can the desired result be obtained.
Adjust the ratio of the ingredients and pour them into the first bottle.
Ding!
[A potion that can defeat insomnia forever has been created.]
“……?”
It is a complete failure.
With these good materials, they created something that has nothing more than a normal grade effect.
This time, it is created anew with a different ratio.
[A potion to defeat constipation forever has been completed.]
I thought this would be good for Mandala to drink.
A laxative worth hundreds of thousands of gold per bottle?
Mandala's heart hurts.
Third.
Mandala thought that this time, the proportions were fleetingly perfect.
I shuddered at the sight of it being poured into the bottle… … .
[Potion increasing MP and HP natural recovery speed by 15% is complete.]
It was excellent, but it was disappointing.
To think that with such good materials, you can only make things like this.
However, that statement was somewhat wrong.
Things created by the mandala.
It has tremendous value, more than expected.
It can put those with insomnia into a deep sleep forever.
Those who are unable to defecate can have a satisfying bowel movement every day.
The potion made last, in particular, is of immense value.
However… … .
The reaction shown by Mandala was also sufficient.
Because we have to at least recoup the cost of materials.
It is clearly a finished product that cannot recoup the cost of materials.
I finished the fourth potion out of anxiety.
[Growth Speed 14% Increase Potion completed.]
Mandala's face contorted with anxiety.
Only the last ingredient remains.
Mandala concentrated as much as possible.
Using the four failures so far as a stepping stone, I analyzed and devoted the most effort to the process in the most efficient way.
It also took more time.
Then, at the end of the completion of that potion… … .
Mandala suddenly recalled Hyunsu's words.
Someone's story gives power to the artifact.
“A story…? How absurd.”
It was absurd to Mandala.
However, I try to imagine it.
An-o, whose wounds have healed, will be happier than anyone, and Hyun-su will feel the same way.
He is a strong player you haven't heard of.
Although he belongs to Talassian, he will always answer Hyunsu's call.
Even when it rains, even when it snows, even at night, and even during the day.
Also, once this was completed, I could escape from the despair that never came.
please…….
I hope such a thing actually happens…
Mandala woke up from his thoughts, thought they were fleeting, and then felt puzzled.
NPCs also have passive abilities.
During the time he was lost in thought… … .
Mandala did not know, but about 7 of the powers he possessed were activated and inhabited this one liquid.
Hyun-su, who was waiting outside, was surprised.
[Your retainer, Mandala, acquires the title Alchemist's Soul.]
For the first time, Mandala created a potion with all her might for someone's future.
He engaged in an act of looking into the essence of potions, rather than merely making money or creating excellent potions.
The Alchemist's Soul
The blacksmith's soul and its logic were bound to be the same.
The moment Mandala poured the potion into the bottle… … .
[A legendary potion is born!]
Mandala produced an excellent potion.
The effect was surprisingly healing the disability.
However, it dwells once more in this situation.
[The spirit of the alchemist dwells!]
Mandala was surprised.
at that time.
Gulp-
Hyunsu opened the door and came in.
You're screwed.
Mandala spoke harsh words.
Hyun-su only heard that he had awakened the spirit of an alchemist, but he did not know what the finished product was.
You said I'm screwed…?
At those words, Hyunsu was flustered, and Mandala let out a hollow laugh.
I said that because the masterpiece of my life was born like this.
Mandala handed the potion to Hyunsu.
"Your Highness, it would be fine if you named this."
After much deliberation, Hyunsu named the potion.
Late at night.
An-o gazed at the moonlight shining through the car window.
I have to leave tomorrow.
I am not running away from Varga.
It is because he realized that being here would only be a hindrance, as he can no longer even fight.
May I come in?
The voice of the Force was heard.
Soon, the force entered.
Hyunsu sent a potion.
“Hyunsu-nim… the potion?”
Wink wink-
“Yes, but why did you wink at me…?”
Ah, I was talking to Hyun-soo.
“…….”
In the awkward silence, An-o tried to refuse the potion.
Since no potion in Talassian listened.
However, Force gave an inscrutable smile.
“Hyunsu, you went through a lot of trouble to make this potion. So you must accept it.”
“Is that… the case?”
happy.
Therefore, I could not refuse.
Pong-
An-o picked the potion that was shimmering red and gulped it down in one go.
At that moment,
A hot energy spread throughout my entire body.
That hot energy moved to my arms and legs and soon turned into a warm energy, bringing back my 'sense'.
It didn't end there.
[Growth accelerates by 20%.]
[All stats increase by 6%.]
[Potential levels increase significantly.]
[You grow into a being of even greater stature!]
An-o grew up.
An-o was amazed that his arms and legs had started moving again, and that he had even achieved growth.
“Hyunsu personally named this potion. And it seemed like he wanted me to make sure to give it to An-o.”
"You said it sounded like I wanted you to pass on a message? What is the name of this potion?"
An-o ended up crying.
