"Good afternoon, Your Highness Lux." Chai Anping sat down "politely" and nodded.
"It seems that you are fine!" Lux did not care about Chai Anping's rude behavior, but greeted him with concern.
"Thank you." Chai Anping smiled.
"Glib talk!" Lux gave him a fierce look, then came in and found a chair to sit down on her own: "Where is your assistant?"
"After criticism and guidance from a certain His Highness, I asked him to go to the market to purchase goods today."
"..." Lux reached out and poked him wordlessly: "I didn't offend you, just speak normally."
"Ahem... Why is Your Highness free to come here today?"
"Huh, if it weren't for... I wouldn't bother to come here!" Lux thought about the purpose of coming today and said seriously: "Mr. Shelley, be sure not to let others know about the indefinite potion you refined."
"Oh?" Chai Anping was surprised when he heard this.
"After I returned, I consulted with the family's master alchemist. Any potion that can be called holy water is prohibited! And...well...the Master David you mentioned last night was accused of 'stealing gods' by the sect.
Put to death by authority!"
"What?!"
Chai Anping couldn't help but be a little stunned. He didn't expect that his subconscious actions last night actually saved his life!
"I almost... I almost sold that tube of potion." Chai Anping swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty.
"Huh...it seems I'm not too late." Lux breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this.
Lux's emotion couldn't help but make Chai Anping a little touched. It seemed that this kind little girl came here to tell him after learning the news.
No offense, no offense, I had been teasing Lux just now when she came here.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for informing me." He said with sincere gratitude.
"Hey! It's a small thing~" The corner of Lux's mouth curled up involuntarily, and then she waved her hand generously: "I just passed by here. By the way, when I left yesterday, I didn't even have time to take a good look at the tube of potion. It's not fast.
show me?"
Chai Anping noticed that Lux didn't seem to do anything to hide when she went out today. She was wearing a luxurious noble lady's clothes, and the upright knight Kashina was not with her.
Chai Anping took down the Uncertain Potion 2.0 refined last night from the storage shelf and handed it to her: "Did Your Highness reveal his identity today?"
"Well--"
Lux looked down at her clothes, and then laughed: "There is a banquet held by the Sirode family nearby tonight. I was invited to attend, so I came over early, just in time to sit in your laboratory."
"I said I wanted to visit Sirode's alchemy workshop by myself. My attendants are all outside."
"I see."
Speaking of which, Lux is not a helpless noble lady. Not only does she possess powerful light magic, but she also has similar physical skills to Kashina.
Lux raised the Uncertain Potion above her head towards the sun with great interest, and the silver-white potion shone brightly under the sun's rays.
“What a beautiful color!”
Seeing Lux amusing herself there, Chai Anping grinned and didn't bother him, and continued to flip through the book to find the potion he needed.
"Sir, I'm back!"
After a long time, Prosesi's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Well, it seems that my assistant is back." Chai Anping smiled at Lux.
"Um?"
Lux's eyes rolled around twice. Before she could decide whether to hide her face, Prothesi approached the laboratory carrying several large bags.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly, there were beads of sweat on his forehead, and his whole chest was heaving violently.
"Things are already... Huh?" Prothesi suddenly froze when she saw Lux.
Last night, because of what Lux was wearing, he didn't think about the girl's identity as the crown jewel of the Crownguard family, but when he looked at it again today...
"Oh my god! Ho-"
If he hadn't known that the items in his hand were worth more than thirty gold coins, he would have thrown these bottles and jars to the ground by now: "Greetings to His Highness Lux Crownguard!"
My lord actually knows a big shot in the Crownguard family!
And it seems that the relationship is quite complicated!
The little fat man's heart was filled with fear and at the same time he began to feel so beautiful... What fat thighs he had embraced!
"Oh, Prosesi, you have very sharp eyes." Chai Anping laughed immediately when he saw this: "Your Highness, you have such a distinguished status that even my assistant recognizes you."
"...No gifts, no gifts." Lux quickly motioned to Prothesi to stop being formal. Look at this man, he is about to squeeze on her again!
"Ahem! Sir, I suddenly remembered that there are two more alchemy materials that I forgot to buy..."
"Okay, okay." Chai Anping glared at him angrily: "No need to be clever, His Highness is just here as a guest. You can go and put all these materials in the cabinet according to the material classification method, can you do that?
"
"Ah...the classification method...I understand." Glancing at Chai Anping and Lux cautiously, Prosexi shook off the fat on his body, then took the bag and went to the corner to face the wall.
"What is the nomenclature classification?" Lux asked in a low voice.
"Haha, alchemy materials are all kinds of weird, it's not an exaggeration to say they are endless, so there needs to be a special classification method to classify them. One of the more commonly used is the nomenclature classification method, which is divided into categories according to the first letter of the name of the material. Of course, this method
Only applicable to common, ordinary alchemical materials."
"Some of the more special alchemy materials have strict requirements on storage locations, so they need to be stored alone or separated from other alchemy materials. Otherwise, the mysterious powers they contain may affect each other and lead to bad results."
Chai Anping coughed and smiled awkwardly: "Of course I can only buy some ordinary alchemy materials."
"I believe you, I heard that alchemists from small families make the most money!" Lux said with disdain.
This is not just nonsense on her part, but the more advanced an alchemist is in his practice, the rarer and rarer the formulas and alchemy materials he studies become. A truly powerful alchemist may even go bankrupt just to refine a tube of potion.
The key is to lose everything and there is a high chance that the refining will fail... This is the most outrageous thing about G8.
And those third-rate alchemists can make a lot of money by relying on third-rate diluted potions, just like the master Prosesi served before, or the current... Chai Anping.
Oh, he should barely be second-rate.
Of course, you can earn more, but earning less is just a relative term. A third-rate alchemist can make stable money, while a first-rate alchemist can make money quickly. The money comes and goes quickly. Maybe the price of refining a tube of potion is enough for a third-rate alchemist to work hard for half a year.
"Are you ready to refine a new potion?" Lux asked curiously.
Chai Anping nodded, then shook his head: "I want to practice, but I have no clue."
"Oh?" Lux couldn't think of any other potion that could stump Chai Anping, who was able to refine Uncertain Potion 2.0: "What do you want to refine? Maybe I can give you some ideas."
Chai Anping thought that Lux was from a noble family and might be able to give him an answer, so he told her his request.
Lux's expression gradually became weird as she listened to Chai Anping's story:
"Mr. Shelley, you may not know... there are so many of this kind of medicine among our nobles..."
