Throne Steps

Is this decision right or wrong?

Looking at the raw materials that almost filled the entire room, Li Chen felt his eyelids twitch: "You mean... all of them are going to be made into medicines here?!"

The soldier who came to pick up Li Chen had already left the room, and now there were two other people facing Li Chen.One is also a warrior, physically smaller than the previous one, but still tall and handsome, with short fiery red hair and a hearty smile, which makes people feel more friendly; the other is a purple-clothed magician with light purple and black eyes His long hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of his head. Although he was half a head shorter than a warrior, he was considered to be very outstanding among magicians.

After hearing Li Chen's question, the magician remained calm, but the soldier laughed: "That's right, little pharmacist! I want everything!"

The corner of Li Chen's mouth twitched.If he read it correctly, there was a bottle with a label on the shelf next to the soldier, which was the raw material of the "Transformation Potion"!

Hehehe, I don't know anything... The thought of "one mistake will cause eternal hatred" flashed through Li Chen's mind.Sure enough, I was too hasty...

In fact, Li Chen was expressing helplessness, but because he was too small compared to the two of them—"small" in various senses—the child in a long robe stood in the middle of the room, looking like a Some are at a loss, some are helpless.

"You don't have to be so troubled." The magician approached him slowly, and handed out two lists, with a hint of comfort in his indifferent tone, "Most things are just added, and some are added Yes, we have also prepared related books... If you still can't operate it, that's okay."

Li Chen took the two lists, glanced at the newly added doses and newly prescribed medicines, and several high-end medicines that were considered mid-to-high-end even in the "small black room period" were impressively in sight.Leaving aside how they obtained those pharmaceutical books, even if there were books, it might not be much smoother—otherwise, why would Pesa's alchemy department still have classes?

"I think..." Li Chen carefully chose his words, "You think highly of me."

"As I said, it doesn't matter if you can't make those extra varieties." The magician replied, "As for the extra amount—you can do it slowly."

Li Chen thought for a while, and looked at the other party with childish suspicion: "You said to do it slowly..."

"It means 'do it slowly'!" The soldier also approached with a hearty smile, "We will stay here for half a month, and you can come here to make medicine at any time."

Anytime, who are you bluffing?Li Chen thought silently, when he came, he covered my eyes so as not to let me see the way, how could I come anytime?

The magician seemed to see his thoughts, and continued: "When Locke sends you back later, just tell him when to pick you up next time."

Li Chen nodded, it turned out that the soldier was called Locke: "Then the question of cost..."

"According to the unit price you wrote, it will be accumulated on a piece-by-piece basis." The magician replied bluntly, "As for the extra ones, add [-]% to the highest processing fee and calculate on a piece-by-piece basis."

"...No." Li Chen completely understood, the two pretended to be friendly, and they just waited here to lower the price!Really think he is a cheap labor?

"If I finish the newly added variety, the total amount will be doubled!" His tone was still steady, even looking up at the other party, there was no tone of negotiating, "Of course, if I don't finish, the newly added The maximum processing fee is [-]% higher than the piece count."

The two adults were stunned, and the red-haired warrior suddenly laughed loudly: "Interesting! This kid is really interesting!" He put his shoulders on the magician: "Kaga, he is more like you than your brother!"

The magician called "Kaga" slapped down the soldier's hand, and his expression became more condensed than when he first met him. He stared at Li Chen: "Do you know what you're talking about, brat?"

"The profit is only 5.00% of the cost. This is already a sincere bid, and it is also encouraging you to make a deal with a 'child'." With a femme fatale expression, "Although I don't know very well... But, let's give an example - for this thing alone, the price on the black market will be higher than [-]% of the cost, right?"

What Li Chen was pointing at was the "transfiguration potion", which actually looked like a different kind of "disguise potion".It is said that after drinking this stuff, as long as you keep imagining the image of the target in your mind, you can change the appearance of the target.Because the effect of this thing is too heaven-defying, it has already become a well-known "limited supply, prohibited circulation" medicine on Retia's list.

When he was in the small black room before, Li Chen concocted this thing, but did not study the actual effect.Generally speaking, after he finished making the medicine, he would give it to the necromancer, and the result--you just need to see that the other party didn't pour it out after smelling it.

Before Kajia could answer, the soldier's smile had become meaningful: "Little devil, do you really know what kind of potion this is?"

"Potion of Shapeshifting" is the name of a potion in a non-common language.But now, at least in the territory of Raetia, the name of the shape-changing potion generally uses the name of the common language directly transliterated from the non-common language.The word order of this kind of name is usually long and meaningless, and it is difficult to think of the effect just by looking at the name of the medicine.

"Since you still have doubts about me, shouldn't I also pay back?" Li Chen still used Kajia's gloomy expression, "What do you want the limited amount of medicine for? ——Who are you?"

"!"

Not only the fighters, but even Kaga showed an obviously stunned expression: "You... don't know who we are?"

Li Chen was puzzled: "Why would I know?"

"But Locke didn't mean..." The soldier turned to Kaja in confusion and some surprise, "God, I thought he was finally sharp for once—it was just his speculation!"

Ka Jia ignored him, just looked at Li Chen: "You don't know who we are, so why do you think we need those potions?"

Isn't it just trying to find a reason to get close?Li Chen frowned slightly and looked at him: "You all want so many potions, I just want to see if I can make some extra money..."

"No," interjected the soldier. "Loke said you've been paying attention to his sword for a long time—why?"

Li Chen's heart twitched slightly, and he looked dazed on the surface: "I haven't seen such a pattern in the academy, so... Hey, what does that represent?"

Kajia looked at Li Chen with half-closed eyes.

Li Chen unceremoniously continued to change the topic: "Could it be that it represents your identities?"

"Little devil." The soldier raised his eyebrows, "Are you pretending to be stupid?"

It really is?So the necromancer is not only related to that Locke, but even to the entire mercenary group... Li Chen thought for a while, but asked rhetorically: "It is difficult to infer such a thing from your words. Is it?"

"Okay." Ka Jia interrupted the two people's gag, and asked Li Chen, "Do you have to know who we are before you start making medicine?"

"Of course I want to know." Li Chen shrugged, "But I'm in your hands now, right?"

The soldier laughed: "So you still know!"

"You make the medicine first, and I will ask Locke to explain our identities to you on the return trip." Kajia interrupted the nonsense of the two of them again, "Also, I want to supervise the whole process of making the medicine—do you have any objection?"

Don't use the word "bar" for an order that is clearly a fait accompli, okay... Li Chen could only nod his head: "Just don't bother me."

Li Chen could guess that this Kajia would propose to supervise the production. Apart from ensuring the safety of pharmaceuticals, there may be other purposes.

Is it so weird that a child can make these medicines, or did he want to know the exact method of making them, or even the fact that Li Chen noticed the pattern on the hilt of the sword alarmed him?

At first, Li Chen thought it was normal for him to look twice, but he was noticed anyway.He can't remember the details of his on-the-spot reaction at that time, and even if he feels that the reaction is a little bit too much now, it is difficult to correct it accurately.

How is that song sung? ——"Just because I took one more look at you in the crowd..."

Doubts are doubts, and the work at hand still cannot stop.Blood coagulants, blood tonics and blood invigorators, etc., although they were too familiar in the small dark room at the beginning, Li Chen still pretended to conduct a small-dose preparation test first.

"What's the matter?" Kajia asked, looking at the reagent dispensing tube handed to him.

Li Chen looked at him strangely: "Preliminary drug test."

High-grade pharmaceuticals, especially those with limited circulation, require a small dose of drug testing before each batch of pharmaceuticals to ensure that there will be no waste of raw materials in the later stage of pharmaceuticals.The pharmacist and the pharmacist should be two people. Although Li Chen didn't know if Kajia would know it, there was no third person at the scene anyway.

Kajia really doesn't know it, but this magician has a keen mind and basically doesn't talk nonsense: "Operating procedures? Save it."

If it weren't for you, a big living being stuck here, I wouldn't need to pretend to be.Li Chen continued to play dumb: "You don't have a pharmacist? Then who will inspect and accept the medicine after it's made?"

Kajia was even more straightforward: "I will pick one randomly for you to drink when the time comes."

Li Chen was no longer surprised that he could say such words.However, this one was made as a pretense, and a small one was not easy to put away, so Li Chen stuffed it for Ka Jia: "You should drink it, your complexion is not very good, and blood tonics are generally not harmful."

Kajia was a little stunned, and paused for a few seconds before taking the blood tonic. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I should ask Otar to see the difference between you and my brother."

Younger brother?Li Chen shrugged: "This is none of my business."

Kajia said faintly: "Little ghost, you really don't look like a child."

Li Chen was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and subconsciously retorted: "I have grown up!"

Kajia evoked a cryptic smile of "as expected": "You are younger than my brother."

... Can you not leave your brother with a few words, brother accuses the magician?Li Chen couldn't figure out whether he had cheated or not, but the play still had to be over.He hummed, turned and left.

Kaga looked at his back, and there was an imperceptible gentleness in his voice: "My brother is also in Pesa... I will introduce you to him later."

I really don't want to know him at all.And Kajia knew that he was a Pesa student. Li Chen was not surprised at all. The channel through which this information could be revealed was too easy to guess.

He wanted to ignore this "producer" at first, but now his feigned anger gave him a good excuse.
