Chapter 298 Cure
Vincent immediately went to find Severin.
Once he arrived in the laboratory, he noticed that Rudy and Boeres doing something at the workbench while Severin had passed out on a couch in the corner of the room.
He seemed to be extremely tired so he should be having his rest.
"Ahh… Sir Vincent." Rudy was the first to notice Vincent.
He's already nineteen years but his height is about the same as Vincent's. This seems to be the side of the experimentation done to his body when he 'received' his Precision Eyes from the crazy doctors of the 15th Tower.
On the other hand, Boeres is quite skinny but it seems to have something to do with his dark hands…
While Rudy has a Mystic Eye, Boeres has Mystic hands or called the Rippling Hands that sseem to be very useful in alchemy.
They both politely greeted Vincent and explained that Severin has not been sleeping for three whole days and only found the time to take a rest today.
"It seems that I arrived at an inappropriate time… Anyway, Yulia mentioned that you guys were developing a cure for Black Decay. Is that true?"
"Yes, sir Vincent. Here are the latest samples we've made." Rudy said as he pointed at the five bottles that they just made.
"I see… Can I have one?'
"Of course!" Boeres answered.
Vincent immediately came here to confirm whether they can use this cure to become rich and solve their money problem.
As soon as he held one of the bottles containing a red liquid, he used his Appraisal Skill without any hesitation.
[ Do you want to Appraise the item? ]
'Yes…'
[ You have discovered a Bottle of Fairer Potion. ]
[ A Bottle of Fairer Potion ]
[ Grade: Middle
Number of Enhancements: 0/10
Description: A magical liquid made from the essence of Crimson Guava, Cold Finger Leaf, powdered Fair Clam Shell, and various common alchemy ingredients. It is capable of greatly improving the respiratory and digestive systems of the human body. It has a weak effect on improving the consumer's integumentary system.
This potion is ineffective in curing internal injuries caused by Mana but it can provide weak protection from possible external harm caused by Mana.
The potion's effect had a high chance of increasing up to 15% if consumed directly instead of applying it to the skin.
Remarks: Every successful enhancement will improve the effectiveness of the potion. ]
"Oh~ This is indeed a decent one."
Vincent commented after seeing the effects of the potion.
This potion can actually improve the condition of the respiratory system! This is the most important thing considering the symptoms caused by the current pneumonic plague!
Once the respiratory system was taken care of, the other symptoms like blistering and eye discharge can be cured by many other diluted recovery potions.
Hearing Vincent's approval, Rudy and Boeres couldn't help but smile as they looked at their master.
It was unfortunate that Severin is napping right now and he didn't hear Vincent's praise.
"I'll take all the completed ones. I'll modify it to make it better."
"Ahh! That's great, Sir Vincent. Master Severin mentioned this to us as well. He said that you'll be doing the finishing touches… Right, Sir Yasin also had contact with a few patients affected by Black Decay. We can ask for his help to see the effectiveness of the potion."
"Yasin? So you guys are already prepared for this, huh… That's good. If it can really cure the people affected by the plague, do you have an idea how much this should be sold to the public?" Vincent asked.
This time, Rudy and Boeres couldn't answer and only mentioned that Yasin might be able to help.
After asking a few more questions about the potion, Vincent left the laboratory.
He also brought the three boxes of the said potion or a total of 300 Fairer Potions in his interspatial ring.
Right now, he's thinking of his next moves.
'After enhancing and putting them to test, I should ask Master Ignacy and perhaps Miss Faviona for the permission and authenticity of this potion.'
Although getting Ignacy's permission is enough to circulate the medicine, people may not purchase it if the Alchemy Union hasn't proven its authenticity yet. People might be afraid of trying it even if it's already on the shelves of various pharmacies and shops.
With that in mind, he felt more excited and wanted to just start enhancing the potions in his possession.
***
On the next day, Vincent felt refreshed.
Although he spent all his Pseudo-Celestial Energy last night and only recovered half of his energy now, he doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.
He's looking forward to the start of the distribution of the potion Severin and his team made. To do that, he has to quickly finish dealing with Karsten and get Yasin to test out the potions on the patients that he knows.
'Right… I don't have to be there for the testing… I can just give them a sample potion so they can test it.' Vincent thought as he felt quite confident with the +9 version of the Fairer Potion.
However, he shook his head after contemplating.
'No… It's better if I'm present during the trial just in case something went wrong due to compatibility or something.'
Vincent mused as he stretched his body. He looked around his room and he suddenly felt something off.
'Hmm? Am I forgetting something?' Vincent thought as he scratches his head. Today is the date of the duel against Karsten but it feels like Vincent was still missing something.
After a while, he finally reminded himself.
"Ah?! Krusk! Where is that guy?" Vincent recalled at last.
He didn't notice the kid since yesterday so he immediately looked for Yulia to get an answer.
"Krusk joined Yasin and Vel collecting the necessary ingredients to make potions. Some ingredients that Severin needed can't be found around here. They're using the Avian Lion…" Yulia explained as she put down the newspaper she was reading.
Seeing that Vincent was still worried like a responsible parent, she added. "In any case, they should be returning in a couple of days. It shouldn't be dangerous for the young man. He was getting bored staying here doing nothing after all."
Vincent indeed neglected the young Mythical Beast and was a bit worried.
However, it wasn't because Krusk is weak but because that young and innocent-looking Mythical Beast can be very strong! He might cause huge trouble if he failed to properly control his power!
It wasn't just Vincent who benefited after finding the dying River Dragon but also Krusk!
