The front hall of the pharmacy is the residence of Dr. Cole and the half-elf maid. The backyard is the secret medicine farm. Several buildings were built inside to serve as storage rooms, dispensing rooms, and dormitories for barbarian female slaves.
The weather is getting colder now, and more and more adventure groups are returning to Braun Town from the wild. Dr. Cole treats patients at the Braun Town Medical Center every day. He does not stay in the pharmacy for a long time. The pharmacy is basically composed of
Several beautiful half-elf maids take care of it. They direct the strong barbarian slave girls to do some rough work. However, the key work of preparing the potions is handled by the half-elf maids themselves. Dr. Cole will come over every day to check the status of the living secret potion.
Occasionally, he would propose improvement plans for the ratio of medicines. He basically didn't care about small things like processing medicinal materials and preparing ordinary potions. Even the half-elf maid could complete it independently.
Wiltok's task is to guard the medicine storage room. Even with such a simple task, he is assisted by a barbarian slave girl. He is in a state of idleness in Cole's pharmacy. He can wander around the yard every day, and there will be at least one person by his side.
Accompanied by a half-elf maid.
The potion workshop, which is forbidden to outsiders, is unprotected against Wiltok. Except for Dr. Cole's bedroom, the half-elf maid is willing to accompany him wherever he wants to go.
Of course, Wiltok would not waste his time in vain. He spent most of his day in the storage room and dispensing room, learning to identify medicinal materials, or watching the half-elf maid prepare ordinary potions.
Both places were kept spotless by the barbarian female slaves. Every object inside, from the wooden boards on the floor to the patches protecting the walls; from the largest cabinet to the smallest oil lamp, their materials, shapes, and placement were all meticulously crafted.
Very sophisticated. The most luxuriously decorated rooms in the Adventurer's House look very crude compared to this one.
Wiltok had a familiar feeling about Cole's storage room and dispensing room, and thought that this was how a place for dispensing medicine should be.
If it weren't for the "review" that had to be done every night, he would have simply stayed in the medicinal storage room, without having to travel back and forth between the hotel and the pharmacy.
What really attracts Wiltok is the wide variety of medicinal materials in the storage room. The Adventurer's House has a long-term medicinal material acquisition task issued by Dr. Cole. Adventurers can sell the collected medicinal materials to Braun according to the corresponding price on the task list.
The town's pharmacy workshop.
In fact, Dr. Cole's purchase price of medicinal materials is lower than the purchase price of the armed caravan, but he pays a sum of money to the Adventurer's Guild every year. If the adventurer makes a deal with Cole, it will be regarded as completing the adventure mission and can enhance the union's respect for him.
Evaluation. Except for a few particularly rare medicinal materials, adventurers will sell general medicinal materials to Dr. Cole.
Over time, there are hundreds of kinds of medicinal materials stored in the storage room, involving plants, animals, minerals, and even several special types of humus and animal excrement. Every cabinet in the storage room is full.
The smell in the room is also very strong. Fortunately, Wiltok's nose has adapted to the environment here, and the smell of various medicinal materials does not bother him. Instead, he has to take the initiative to smell the smell and try to identify each one with his sensitive sense of smell.
medicinal herbs to see if they can stir up memories.
The closet in the storage room is very high. In order to get the top medicinal materials, the barbarian slave girl had to use a ladder to take out medicinal material samples from the top cabinet and give them to Wiltok for analysis.
Although he has only been working in the pharmacy for a short time, the barbarian female slave has already realized that this half-elf with a particularly "scary" appearance and temperament is particularly valued by his master. His status is higher than that of several half-elf maids. At the very least, half-elf
The elf maid almost never refused any of his requests.
Therefore, the barbarian female slaves were very afraid of Wiltok, and they tried their best to avoid him and did not dare to offend him.
Wiltok has not recovered his memory and is very simple-minded. He may really think that he is working for Dr. Cole. In fact, he is the only one who is kept in the dark.
However, these are just the wishful thinking of Boss Bottom, Dr. Cole and others.
It is true that Wiltok is naive and simple, but he has an incredible ability and good habits. Every night, he will carefully "review" the day's events from a third-person perspective through the "golden light group" of the conscious world.
Experience and reflect on the gains and losses of the day.
People who know how to reflect cannot be stupid.
Especially after mastering the secret of the golden toad, Wiltok's "review" experience became clearer and his thinking became sharper. On the first night of working in the alchemy workshop, he discovered that Dr. Cole did not need a gatekeeper.
assistant, and then came to a conclusion that he had already made before: Dr. Cole had something going on in his heart, and he might have bad intentions for himself.
Wiltok, who was naturally smart, did not tell anyone his judgment about Dr. Cole. He was unwilling to lose such a good job. The response he took was to talk to Dr. Cole as little as possible. However, the simple Wiltok
Half-elf maids and barbarian slave girls were not included in the list to be on guard against.
Whether it's the half-elf maid or the barbarian slave girl, they are obviously not the same person as Dr. Cole. Moreover, they are very polite to me and willing to provide all kinds of help. Obviously, they are all good people.
Therefore, Wiltok asked the half-elf maid and barbarian slave girl about the formula of the source blood potion, hoping that they could help him confirm the specific name of the medicinal material.
If you don’t understand something, just ask more people. There is nothing wrong with more people and greater strength.
As for the relationship between the half-elf maid, the barbarian slave girl and Dr. Cole, Wiltok never considered it at all.
Cole unexpectedly learned the formula of the blood potion from the servant. He was both happy and depressed, but overall he was extremely depressed.
On the one hand, Vertok provided pharmaceutical formulas with only the names of uncommon medicinal materials, but did not know the appearance characteristics of the medicinal materials, nor the specific process of medicinal materials processing. Knowing such a pharmaceutical formula is equivalent to not knowing it.
On the other hand, he couldn't understand why Wiltok could tell anyone the formula of the potion but refused to tell him. Even if he made insinuations, Wiltok would never speak.
Dr. Cole couldn't remember where he had offended Wiltok?
Boss Bottom couldn't explain the reason. He could only attribute the reason to the fact that the simple Wiltok liked to look at his face before ordering the menu, and Cole was too ugly, so the first impression he gave him was that he was not a good person.
The hotel owner's speculation made Dr. Cole even more depressed. He didn't think he was ugly, but he had to admit that beautiful half-elves were always particularly popular.
But when it comes to beauty, Cole has confidence in the half-elf maid he has carefully cultivated. Since Wiltok is also a vulgar person who likes to look at faces, the half-elf maid will win his favor. Cole secretly warned several half-elves
Maid, take good care of Wiltok and help him recall the specific contents of the potion formula.
The half-elf maid was happy to accept this order. They discussed taking turns taking care of Vertok. Today it happened to be Britney's turn, the half-elf slave girl who was "harassed" by Vertok the day before yesterday. However, she heard about Vertok's
Knowing that it was actually a misunderstanding, he not only forgave Wiltok for his rude behavior, but also sympathized with him.
Britney had taken off her mask, with a worried expression on her pretty face. She watched Wiltok bend down first to smell the medicinal samples on the table, and then hold the edge of the table with both hands, eyes half-closed, and body swaying
Yes, as if he was about to faint.
"Mr. Wiltok, Mr. Wiltok, are you okay?" Britney reached out to support Wiltok and asked with concern.
Wiltok shook his head, recovered from his trance, looked at Britney in surprise, and said, "I'm fine."
Britney frowned her carefully groomed eyebrows and whispered uncertainly: "But you look uncomfortable...Are you really okay?"
Wiltok suddenly realized, shook his head and said: "Oh, I know, yesterday Susanna was also worried that I was not feeling well, but it was not the case..." As he said that, he glanced left and right to confirm that Dr. Cole was not here, so he mysteriously
Xixi asked: "There is a golden light group in my mind that no one else can see. All my memories are in it. Whenever I think about something hard, I will see the golden light group. For example, if I smell medicinal materials
The smell, I want to recall that smell, and I can see the golden light cluster. Others thought I was distracted, but in fact I was thinking about something... By the way, have you heard about the golden light cluster?"
There are indeed several hallucinogenic medicinal materials in the storage room, but they have all been preliminary processed, and the hallucinogenic effect has become restrained, so that just smelling it with the nose will not make people dizzy. Moreover, the medicinal material Wiltok just smelled was heather, a common
The vine medicine itself is not very toxic. But he still gets dizzy and shakes after smelling heather, which makes people doubt his physical condition.
Another maid, Susanna, once told Britney that Wiltok would get dizzy when he smelled any medicinal material. Now that Britney had seen it with her own eyes, she still couldn't help but worry. She wanted to tell Wiltok loudly:
You are really distracted, but if you are distracted and still have hallucinations, it may be a mental problem.
Britney forced a smile and said in a softer voice: "I have never heard of the 'golden light cluster', but you have identified all the medicinal samples here, so you can take a rest first. Wait until the snow season
Several new medicinal materials will be put into storage, and at that time, we will accompany you to identify them."
In fact, the half-elf female slave's judgment is not wrong. Only Wiltok can see the "golden light group" that no one else can see. Isn't that just an illusion?
Wiltok was distracted when identifying the medicinal materials, and he was really distracted. Although he handed over the smell information to the "golden light group" in the conscious world for processing, his mental state was highly concentrated and he could not even effectively control his body. At least in form.
, this is mind wandering.
The problem was that Wiltok's mind wandered too frequently and was accompanied by hallucinations. Based on common medical knowledge, the half-elf female slave judged that his amnesia had affected his mental state.
Wiltok did not realize that his way of thinking was different from that of other half-elves. He had been trying hard to identify various medicinal materials for the past two days without any worries or disguises. His efficiency in identifying medicinal materials was surprisingly high.
He has smelled all the more than 300 medicinal herbs stored by Dr. Cole twice. Thirty-nine of them have received feedback from the "Knowledge Puzzle", awakening Wiltok's memory of them. Among these medicinal herbs, there are three
The medicinal material successfully corresponds to the medicinal material name recorded in the source blood medicine formula.
A total of 25 kinds of medicinal materials are used in the formula of the source blood potion. Wiltok only remembered 3 kinds of medicinal materials, and there is no technological process for processing the medicinal materials. It is basically impossible for him to prepare the source blood potion.
Without the source blood potion, the effect of practicing the source blood secret method will be very poor.
This made Wiltok feel very frustrated, but he was not without gains.
Judging from the feedback from the "Knowledge Puzzle" in the past two days, Wiltok has realized that he was once proficient in pharmacy, but pharmacy is a huge and complex knowledge system. It is difficult to learn pharmacy just by identifying medicinal materials.
The memory is put together completely.
The "Knowledge Puzzle" also gives a solution to the problem, or you can continue to stay in Dr. Cole's pharmacy workshop and slowly piece together the pharmacy memory bit by bit through continuous learning. However, Dr. Cole's
The knowledge of secret medicine is of little use to Vertok in retrieving his memory. This is because the "Knowledge Puzzle" only absorbs information related to secret medicine without any feedback. This is enough to show that the knowledge of secret medicine is a new thing and not Wiltok's memory.
The most efficient way is to learn Chinese characters first and then go back to learn pharmacy knowledge.
Words are the carrier of knowledge. By learning knowledge through words, Wiltok will get twice the result with half the effort by piecing together his memories.
Wiltok is hesitant about this. At present, the desire to learn writing is not strong enough for him to give up this job. The half-elf maids in the potion workshop are very good people, and the food they make is quite delicious, while the barbarians
The "secret animal medicine" raised by female slaves also deeply attracted Wiltok.
He was worried that if he resigned after only two days on the job and Dr. Cole replaced him with an assistant, wouldn't he be able to come back?
Wiltok was in a dilemma, but the laughter and frolic of a group of barbarian female slaves could be heard outside the house. He curiously walked to the window, raised his hand to push the window open, and was surprised to find two half-elf maids escorting Piru, the man from the Adventurer's House.
Crossing the courtyard and heading towards the dispensing room, a group of barbarian female slaves followed them, pointing at the sad-faced Piru.
"Piru was caught stealing something." Britney came over with a smile on her lips and said, "He hid in the pharmacy for two days and one night. In fact, we had discovered him a long time ago and waited for him to steal something before we caught him.
He caught him red-handed."
Vertok asked blankly: "Catch Piru, and then what?"
"Of course I will punish him severely." Britney covered her mouth and snickered, her big eyes shining. Catching thieves was one of the few pleasures of the half-elf maid, and she couldn't help but want to watch the fun.
Asked: "Mr. Wiltok, do you want to see how the master punishes the thief Piru?"
Wiltok nodded quickly and said, "Let's go take a look..."
Pirou, the shopkeeper, was also a close friend of Wiltok's in the town of Braun. Out of concern for his friend, he hurried out of the house, only to find that Pirou had disappeared.
Britney chased him out and led Wiltok into the dispensing room in a corner of the backyard. At this time, poor Piru was tied tightly to a long table, surrounded by doctor Cole and several other half-elf maids.
Follow him and keep busy.
Seeing Wiltok coming in, Piru immediately shouted loudly: "Virtok, save me, oh..."
Dr. Cole stuffed Piru's mouth with a cotton towel and joked: "It's so noisy... You're a worthless boy. If you're caught stealing, you have to be punished quietly. It's so embarrassing to yell."
The fat cook Sarah once told Wiltok Tok that stealing is wrong. Wiltok agreed with Sarah, but the situation Piru faced made him feel that something was wrong, so he said cautiously: "Mr. Cole
, I remember you allowed Piru to steal things, you shouldn’t punish him.”
Sometimes, Vertok was simply like a wild beast. Cole was originally worried that he would cause trouble, so he specially called his personal maids over. It was rare for Vertok to come up with such a logical opinion, so Cole enthusiastically said
Responded: "Even if I didn't allow others to steal my things, wouldn't a thief come to steal my things? If a thief is caught stealing something by me, shouldn't I punish him?"
Wiltok nodded hesitantly, expressing his agreement with Cole's statement.
Dr. Cole added: "You see, whether I allow the theft has nothing to do with whether I punish the thief. My agreement with Piru is that what he stole here belongs to him, and I will not pursue it afterwards, but he
If you are caught stealing something, you will have to accept punishment. I never said that I would give my stuff to Piru."
Wiltok nodded again, but he took a step forward and said loudly: "What you said makes sense, but I never said I would abide by your principles!"
He had clearly expressed his intention to attack, but several half-elf maids did not respond reasonably. Cole began to suspect that his special connection with the half-elf maids was about to expire.
The professional doctor has almost no combat effectiveness, but Cole has mastered a special method that can strengthen his close connection with his personal maid. This method is not a secret in the highland class of the Alliance, and it itself is rooted in the Disa half-elf.
With their bloodline, half-elf men and women can imitate the spousal relationship between the Taku tribe and the Hemo tribe, and both parties will be sublimated together. However, the Earth Temple in the main city uses the secret ritual and the secret medicine has made some changes, turning equal partners into
The relationship becomes a different kind of subordination.
Cole had never worried that his personal maid would betray him. But he didn't know that Wiltok's natural charm was a kind of blood suppression for the Disa half-elf, but he had not yet fully released this unique charm.
characteristics.
Half-elf maids like Britney who have been transformed by secret magic have biased self-perception and relatively weak willpower. They are particularly susceptible to Wiltok's subtle influence and will hardly be hostile to him.
Seeing that Wiltok was about to use violence, Dr. Cole said in time: "You might as well ask Piru for his opinion and see if he wants you to save him?"
A maid took off the towel that was stuffed in his mouth. Piru gasped for air. The expression on his face changed, ranging from fear to expectation. He struggled for a long time and said with a sad face: "Vell, I am willing to accept the punishment, you don't have to worry about me."
...Uncle Cole, will I die?"
Cole was feeling angry and asked angrily: "You brat, how much money have you saved?"
Piru licked his lips and said hummingly: "I haven't saved much money, 500 gold pagodas... Oh, no, 600 gold pagodas, that's all, I won't lie to you."
Cole nodded and frightened him sarcastically: "Boy, if you die, all the money you saved will belong to me. I will consider myself unlucky. If you survive, your 600 gold pagoda will still belong to me.
Then, you owe me 2,400 gold pagodas."
"Go and get the secret medicine for awakening..."
After ordering the half-elf maid, Dr. Cole turned his head and said to Wiltok in a friendly manner: "Viltok, now is an opportunity for you to see how professional doctors use secret medicine to help ordinary people awaken."
