The Witcher: Elemental Lords
#69 - Material issues
Dorale was immediately tempted. "Then can you help me get some magic crystal residue? I have channels for herbs. How about we trade three bottles a month?"
He also needs a Level 2 mental strength potion now. The Level 1 mental strength potion doesn't have much effect anymore.
Lily immediately replied, "Okay, no problem." After trading the items in hand, they agreed to meet in 5 days.
Coming and going in a hurry, Dorale took the empty baggage and turned to Future Pharmacy. Of course, he didn't forget to disguise himself again.
He used A'du's disguise to meet Lily, and Lin Rui's disguise to meet Old Mi. The two cannot conflict.
These past few days, he had been feeling that someone was watching him, so he switched between several identities. The person who was watching him had long been thrown out of sight.
Entering winter, there were fewer pedestrians on the street, and the number of people here at Future Pharmacy gradually decreased.
Sitting at the counter, Old Mi saw Dorale come in, and silently waved to him, walking towards the back.
Dorale understood, and the two quickly arrived at the pharmacy in the back.
Sitting in front of the table, Dorale took out fifteen bottles of Level 1 mental strength potions and placed them on the table, saying, "I need herbs for Level 2 mental strength potions."
Old Mi was very confident in the quality of Dorale's potions. Those customers were also very satisfied. Hearing this, his hand trembled instantly, and he looked up at Dorale in surprise.
This guy has advanced to a high-level apprentice so quickly?
"No problem, but we don't have magic crystals here." If there are Level 2 mental strength potions, what Old Mi is thinking is that he can win over more high-level apprentices. The wizard group cannot be seen in the Northern Kingdom. Every transaction must be done privately. If there are Level 2 mental strength potions, he can see more high-level apprentices, which can bring more resources, so he can earn enough money.
A bottle of Level 2 mental strength potion costs about ten gold coins, and the profit is a full three gold coins. If there are three or four bottles a month, then he can earn more than a dozen gold coins from Dorale in a month. Old Mi is full of expectations for this flow of wealth.
Dorale didn't notice Old Mi's expression, just nodded indifferently, "I have other channels for magic crystals, you don't need to worry about that. Also, can you get spellcasting materials here?"
Old Mi breathed a sigh of relief and became excited in his heart, he was getting rich. However, he didn't have any extra expression on his face, and nodded steadily, "I can get anything related to medicinal materials here, but anything that is not a medicinal material is not possible."
Dorale reported the materials for Burning Hand. Old Mi thought carefully for a while, "It seems that there is only white phosphorus."
Dorale's eyes lit up. Having white phosphorus is enough. Sulfur and charcoal are not difficult to find. The blacksmith shop actually has them.
Thinking of this, Dorale was a little excited. He finally had magic to release. Having powerful magic is the real foundation for survival.
Magicians can't be seen in the light, but they are also a means. Whether it is magic that can't be seen in the light, or the Cross Fist technique, they can be used to save lives. Dorale can tolerate the life of a small person, but he can't tolerate being bullied by others, and the situation of not being able to fight back is too bad.
Pharmacies occasionally use white phosphorus. This kind of thing needs to be stored at low temperatures. It is easy to burn if the temperature is too high, so Old Mi got some ice for him.
Dorale thanked Old Mi from the bottom of his heart, even if he knew that Old Mi's idea of using him accounted for the majority. In fact, it can't be considered use, it's just a win-win situation for both parties.
Leaving the pharmacy, it was completely dark outside. Dorale dragged the baggage of ice and various herbs, and soon returned to the alley.
Although white phosphorus is easy to burn, there is a standard value. Now it is winter, and the temperature outside is only four or five degrees. At night, it even reaches below zero, so there is no fear of white phosphorus burning.
After putting away the white phosphorus, Dorale's heart was neither sad nor happy. He continued to practice at night, and the increase was still half a copper coin, which was very slow.
There are three kinds of burning materials in the blacksmith shop: charcoal, coke, and wood. Coke is not easy to ignite, but the temperature is high when it is ignited, almost reaching a high temperature of 1,000 degrees. The lowest temperature is wood, and charcoal is better, and charcoal has no smoke, but the production method of charcoal is a bit troublesome.
As for sulfur, there is some in the warehouse. Some metals need to be soaked in sulfur. Dorale took some out and picked up some charcoal by the stove, and the materials for Burning Hand were enough.
It looks quite simple, but the premise is that there is white phosphorus.
White phosphorus itself is also an alchemical product. The extraction process is more complicated and belongs to a branch of materials science. Dorale doesn't have raw materials, nor does he have various other substances for extracting white phosphorus, so naturally he cannot extract white phosphorus himself. If he has the materials, he can actually make it himself, but unfortunately, these things are all controlled items and are not easy to obtain at all.
Therefore, he can only settle for the next best thing, and the extraction will be discussed when there is a chance in the future.
As a high-level wizard apprentice, extracting spellcasting materials is the first step. If you can't find spellcasting materials at all, you can't talk about spellcasting, which is a pseudo proposition.
With the materials for Burning Hand, the next step is Lily's magic crystal.
This matter is not in a hurry.
Dorale was actually a little excited. After practicing for more than half a year, he was finally able to see the results. How could he not be excited?
However, excitement is excitement. Dorale never shows it, even when he is at work, he has a normal face, neither happy nor sad.
Soon, another two days passed.
On the third day, Anderson came over from the back and said to Dorale that Uncle Hong was looking for him.
Dorale was puzzled. He put down the book and came to the back. He was surprised to see Uncle Hong and Harley sitting together. He was so engrossed in reading that he didn't know when Brother Ha came in.
He respectfully said, "Uncle Hong, Brother Ha."
Brother Ha smiled and nodded, saying, "I'm here today to tell you something, have you taken the blacksmith certificate?"
Dorale shook his head, "That thing is useless, what's the point of taking it!"
Uncle Hong glared at him from the side, "How is it useless? Unless you are prepared to be an unknown Level 2 blacksmith for the rest of your life."
Dorale was immediately embarrassed. It's not that he wasn't prepared to be a Level 2 blacksmith for the rest of his life, but that he never planned to be a blacksmith for the rest of his life.
Harley knew something about Dorale's situation, waved his hand, and stopped Uncle Hong from speaking. He said, "Then do you have any ideas?"
Dorale had many ideas, but it was not convenient to say them at this time, so he lowered his head, thought for a while and said, "Let's just muddle along for now, we'll talk about the future later. Oh, by the way, while you are all here, I need to go out for a period of time recently, probably a few months, so I'll let you know in advance."
Harley was a little surprised. He was still thinking that the annual blacksmith conference was about to begin, and he wanted Dorale to take a certificate, but now it seems that it's hopeless.
Uncle Hong didn't know where Dorale came from, and said earnestly at this time, "Once you enter the blacksmith's door, taking the certificate is a must. Now you also have the strength of Level 2. If you take a Level 2 blacksmith certificate, even if you don't work in our Mondo Blacksmith Shop in the future, you can take the certificate to other blacksmith shops, or even go out and go to a big city. It's not possible without a certificate."
Dorale shook his head and said, "Let's talk about the future later."
Uncle Hong said, "It's a pity, if you go to the exam, the youngest Level 2 blacksmith would be none other than you."
Dorale's departure was not a big deal. There was nothing to do in winter anyway, so leaving for a few months was fine, there was nothing wrong with that.
