106 104 Eugene (1/2)
We were on the third floor of the Adventurers Guild when we received the price for the material.
When you ask me to introduce you to an alchemist at the reception, what a dedicated alchemist there is for the Barbora Adventurer Guild. He said he was pretty good at it, and I just wanted to see him.

Elf's sister (50), the guide, knocks on one door. Sounds like a lot of production facilities around here. At the door is ”Eugene Laboratory”.
”Go ahead -”
”Excuse me.”
Inside was a magnificent man with long, all-backed, gray-haired hair stretched all the way to his back, wearing a loose robe. Round glasses that give a soft smile, intelligent image. I'm thin, but are you tall there?
You're just a little changed in your eyes. The white eye area is black and the black eye area is green. And then there's something growing around the hairline. Tactile?
”Dr. Eugene. This girl wants to talk to you.”
”Heh? Sounds a lot cute lady, but are you an adventurer?
”Mm. Fran the Rank D Adventurer”
”Rank D? Oh, wow.”

A half-worm man. I think it's a worm version of the Beast Man. Besides, half. I guess the eyes and tactile sensations are a trait as a species. But if this is in the half, does a normal bug man look more like a bug? You're a little intrigued.
Besides, it seems true to say you're handsome. It's alchemy. Practicing is like the best skill in alchemy. The title also shows that he is a famous alchemist. And then you're personable.
”Again. I'm Eugene. I'm a dedicated alchemist for the Adventurer Alliance.”
”You're not in the Alchemy Guild?
”Ha. Yes, it is. I used to belong to you, but take responsibility for your apprentice's scandal. That's where the Adventurers Guild picked me up.”
”But Dr. Eugene wasn't bad at all, was he? The difficulty of being responsible for the scandal of an already independent apprentice is a good place.”
”Still, I'm pretty sure he worked evil and used the technology I taught him.”
”Still, I think deportation is too much”
”Doesn't a teacher get into an Adventurer's Guild and get along poorly with an Alchemy Guild?
Fran's questions are good too. If the person you turned into exile was picked up lightly by another organization, you wouldn't feel good.
”I did, didn't I? Until the Alliance Master of Alchemy replaced him, he was routinely harassed.”
”Isn't that until five years ago, too? Now the Alliance Master is a moderate man.”
”But some people still say they don't like it or something, right? Some alchemists are hostile to adventurers.”
Does it even affect the alliance?
”So, teachers don't hate adventurers?
If you don't get along with the Alchemy Guild, you'll find it hard to get the majority of the tools you need for your adventure. A grudge might be good for Eugene.
”I don't have that. Wouldn't there be a lot of adventurers who'd rather appreciate it?
”Why?”
”Thanks to the teacher's development of a backward alchemist, we are able to produce items independently in our guild. Thanks to that, we lost the Alchemy Alliance monopoly and there was a price competition. As a result, the price of various items dropped and it helped adventurers.”
”Well, some alchemists still have that in their roots and complain,”
I see. I'm sorry about Dr. Eugene, but it's not bad for us. The Alchemy Guild is less likely to divulge information to the Alchemy Guild when it comes to appraising medicines that would have been taken by pirates. In some cases, I might be told to give it back. If you can keep it to yourself, that's better.
Well, I knew Dr. Eugene was an amazing alchemist and trusted in the guild. In the room where the woman left off, Dr. Eugene will recommend the chair again.
”Well, here you go before you listen to me.”
”Mm-hmm. Thanks”
Is that tea? It's black and looks like oolong tea.
”Mmm.”
Fran sips tea zucchingly. Fran is a cat tongue, so he can only drink a little bit at a time. You look like a cat there.
”Is that all right?
Eugene looked at Fran with a cup of tea wondering. I mean, what do you mean? No poison? But even if you do an appraisal, it's a regular tea called Obo Tea. I don't have a problem with Fran's condition either...
”No, I love it, because the first person to drink it is too bitter to blow out. Now I enjoy watching it. Is your daughter okay?
”Mm-hmm. Yum.”
”I'm glad to hear that! I can't believe you know how good this tea is!
Is that some kind of assembly tea thing? I like people I like, but they say it doesn't suit anyone else.
”Bitter, but decently delicious”
”Yeah, yeah. That's right! I'm glad to have a comrade. Tea leaves?
”Absolutely.”
When Fran nodded, Eugene brought a sachet with tea leaves. I'm in a good mood while I give it to you. You must be really happy to have someone who understands the taste of your favorite.
”Well, let me talk to you again.”
”I want you to look at the pills”
”Hmm?”
”But I don't want anyone to know but my teacher if possible”
”That's okay. Actually, I often talk about this, but I'm proud that I've never divulged information about my counselor.”
'Fran, this teacher is not lying. Looks trustworthy.'
”Mm-hmm. I want you to see this”
In the meantime, don't let the finest life potions, all-state anomaly recovery drugs, and advanced mana potions out here because I already know some effect and value. Let's take it out of the remaining items that don't seem obvious.
”Is this an advanced weapons repair drug? You have amazing things.”
”I want to know the value of this”
”That's right... if I bought it at the store, I'd do about 200,000 gold”
It was higher than I thought.
”I'm sure the material is expensive, but it's very useful. With this, even adventure destinations can repair their protective gear, as well as demonic tools that are usually difficult to repair.”
Is that right? I don't even know if I should normally bring it to a blacksmith if I try to fix a special magic item, for example. In some cases, special materials or skills may be required. If you can repair demon swords and magic props just by applying medication, maybe it can't be easier.
”So, what's this?
”You know what? Skill level pills? This is another rare medicine. The value of this... is about 300,000 golds. It's just that nobles want it. If you want a nobleman, you'll be fine for about 10 times.”
Ten times? That means, three million? Huh? What's that rampant profit, even though it's 300,000 gold. But the aristocrats say they give their own children status-up drugs to dope, and if they think so, do many people want this drug?
”Now this. I have three”
”This is... awesome stuff again. No, it's really amazing.”
It's my # 1 reaction today. Are you saying it's more awesome than over 300,000 skill level drugs?
”Do you know what an alchemy drug is?
”I don't.”
”Well, as its name suggests, it's the medicine I use for alchemy. When mixed with alchemy, it improves effectiveness and quality. I think if you mix the finest alchemy pills in when creating a lower potion, it will be an advanced potion. I haven't seen it in a while either.”
”So expensive?
”Hmm. About a million gold a bottle?
”Seriously?”
High! Plus, the effect is substandard. If you're going to be advanced in a lower potion, what happens if you mix it in with when you make the most advanced potion or something? Isn't that what you do with resuscitation pills?
3.5 million gold so far. I'm getting a little thrilled. I want to compliment myself for choosing that box.
”F, Fran. Let me show you something else. '
”Mm-hmm. So how about this?
The next thing I took out was a negative action reducing drug, which is also the one I want to know the most effective.
”Interesting. I've never seen the real thing either, like 300,000 gold a bottle”
”I want to know more about the effects. Especially if it can be used for inorganic objects and warcraft.”
”I don't think there's a problem with Warcraft. I don't know about inorganics. I think I can use it.”
”Really?”
”Yeah. Even the weapons repair pills earlier would have worked on the inorganic stuff, right? Magic pills are different than regular pills.”
”I see. For example, the special abilities of this sword are strong, but I can't use them for a few days once. If I sprinkle this medicine, can I weaken that restriction?
”Hmm, you honestly don't get it. Only that it's possible...”
