A few days after receiving the invitation from the royal family, I was shaking with joy in my lab.
'Good!'
I had finally completed the bottle with the bright green liquid, the magic potion to create a tie with the royal family.
It is the second highest grade of restorative potion, capable of curing all kinds of abnormalities in knowledge.
By the way, the highest grade of magic potion is impossible to create and is called an elixir, which can even bring the dead back to life.
In my knowledge, it is only described as recovering reduced physical strength and all abnormalities, and it has never revived the dead.
"But there are eight failed attempts though, ......'
Thanks to the large amount of materials available in the temple of jealousy, I succeeded in making five of them, but eight of them lost their vivid colors and became failures.
Although most of the necessary materials are available, the rarest ones have already been exhausted, and it will be impossible to make additional ones for a while.
"" Two of the five should be submitted to the royal family, and quit submitting everything to Aquintessential ......."
I would have to submit them if asked to do so, but that king probably wouldn't ask for that much.
After I finished thinking that far, I put away the book with my creation instructions and the completed magic potion into the item box.
The failed work is not discarded, but used as my research material.
The failed work, which used a large amount of the necessary materials that are quite expensive, may be used to complete some other magic potion in a way that I do not have knowledge of as I study it in various ways.
I sit down in my chair and think about the next magic potion to be made.
After all, next to the status quo, I'm going to make a physical recovery: ......
'...... come to think of it, what's the difference?'
According to my knowledge, there are two main types of recovery-type magic potions: those that restore one's own physical strength and those that cure abnormal conditions.
The latter is the one I created this time, and it can recover from all physical disorders caused by past wounds, as well as poison and paralysis.
The former, however, can heal wounds, and the number of wounds that can be healed increases as the grade of the potion increases.
But in addition, it can also cure poison.
Simply put, the ones that heal abnormalities do not heal the body, and the ones that heal the body and can even eliminate poison to a certain extent are the ones that restore strength.
Then the latter is the former's
"A complete deterioration of the former?"
In this world, there are many things that need to be verified about restorative potions, such as how much poison can be removed and how many wounds can be healed.
"Yes, there were some that were made from different materials."
It suddenly occurred to me that my next research project would be to create something more effective than the recovery-type magic potions that are currently being mass-produced in the Count's household.
Although the effectiveness of the potion is the same as the one made by the method handed down only to the head of the Count family, it can eliminate the waste of materials and, if successful, will lead to a considerable cost reduction.
Chop up the ingredients, put them in a large flask, and heat them.
Then leave it for a while.
Normally, magic power would be added and ingredients would be added at the appropriate time, but since this is what I knew how to do and I was not in a hurry, I decided to give it a try.
This is the end of the preparation I can do.
All I have to do now is to go to the party and get to know the royal family, but since I will be staying in the capital for a while, I need to know as much as possible about the mansion to avoid any problems.
We also need to select the servants to take with us.
I can't just leave the mansion to Bosco, but I'll ask Maria to be the deputy head of the family, and also ask Naamis to support her. ......
Let's see if I can find a servant to take with me on foot."
Only Mina is the only one who is truly trustworthy and will be taken, the others may be chosen on a technical basis.
"Wait?"
Should I ask Mina?
I'm not particularly concerned about the people I take with me, since they will be basically related to each other.
"It was at Naamis' place, right?"
Mina must have learned party etiquette from Naamis.
Let's head there.
ーーーーー
"......"
When I arrived at the room where Mina and Naamis were, I found Mina staring out with lifeless gaze.
Naamis was elegantly sipping a cup of tea.
"What happened?"
I think she's a little tired, we're almost halfway through our goal, so she's taking a break now."
"I see."
Mina, who did not respond when I entered the room, probably, but she must have seen hell.
I don't know what kind of teaching schedule she had, but I think the Naamis education seems to be quite harsh, and on the contrary, I wonder how she didn't run away from it.
"Oh, she ran away, you know?
I caught her with magic as fast as I possibly could."
"I see."
Naamis, who had guessed what I was thinking, put down his tea and began to talk.
As punishment, the concentration of the education has been increased, and then she did not run away at all."
I was thinking that it is very likely that Noor's becoming a queen was genetic, seeing Naamis smiling happily.
"I was wondering how Khalil-sama is doing?"
I came to ask Mina's opinion in order to choose a servant to come with me to the capital.
However, I don't want to burden Mina any further in her situation, and I don't think she'll listen to me.
If you don't mind, would you like me to take Noor with you?
"Noor?"
'Hmmm, I've been patient with that girl for so long that I want to give her as many happy memories as possible.
"Besides, I was there when the Bertna family was still strong, but she was there after the fall of the Bertna family, so I think the risk of her being exposed is infinitely smaller."
...... Is this insane
I understand how a parent would feel, but taking her to the royal capital where all the aristocrats gather is a quirky thing to do. ......
"I'll think about it.'
I'm glad. If you had told me you were taking Noor with you, I would have left this place with her."
Was it to create a sense of urgency?
No, maybe, but he meant it. There is a strong theory that it was a joke so that I wouldn't think too much about it.
When I get back from Royal Capital, it might be a good idea to go out for a bit with a group of people I trust.
