Chapter 76: Potion Mixing Workshop (please subscribe!)
After roughly figuring out the purpose of fluorescent grass, Leon immediately decided to send these precious light sources to the places that need them most.
For example, his study in the lord's castle.
You know, in this day and age, although candles are not expensive, they can be considered a rare thing, especially in Antolia!
The most ordinary civilian households would at most use peeled and sun-dried rushes soaked in animal fat, wait for them to dry, and then serve as a night light source that can emit some faint light.
Even though Leon had built a candle workshop not long ago specifically to produce candles, the output was ultimately limited.
Therefore, every night at night, there are probably only three places in Antolia that are as bright as day. One of them is Leon's study. As for the other two, they are the weaving workshop where daily profits are made and the one in the Thorn Territory City. The potion production workshop outside.
But now, apart from candles, Antolia now has a new choice.
Although the number of fluorescent grass is still extremely limited at the moment, the valuable thing is that there is almost no loss of this thing!
The only thing that needs to be done is to plant these extremely easy-to-grow plants in the soil, which are countless times more powerful than the energy-saving lamps of the previous life.
Therefore, except for a few fluorescent grasses left in his study, Leon gave all the remaining fluorescent grasses to the potion production workshop that had just been established outside the city.
Antolia's potion production workshop is located on the south bank of the White Blade River, adjacent to the black pine forest in the eastern part of the Thorn Territory.
According to Leon's previous arrangement, Kerman, the Navaco priest who is fully responsible for the research and development of potions, was promoted to the director of the workshop, while Master Collins was promoted to the deputy director of the workshop.
A small workshop is equipped with one-half of the mages in the entire Thorn Territory. It is definitely a high-quality one.
However, the reason why the two mages were placed in the potion production workshop was certainly not to let them serve as supervisors. After all, Antolia's talent pool was not yet sufficient to this extent.
What the two of them want to do is mainly to develop potions and eliminate the side effects of related potions.
There is no doubt that any potion has side effects.
The same is true for Remit Raskova's red magic potion, which uses red cordyceps as the main raw material, which is the little red bottle in Leon's mouth.
Although this magic potion can allow users to regain their strength and be fully focused and energetic in a short period of time, the side effects will slowly and silently occur after 24 hours of taking the little red bottle.
Dizziness, brain heat, dizziness and nausea.
These side effects, which were not mentioned in the ancient archives' data, were discovered during the testing process after the first batch of potions were prepared, and thus became the biggest flaw of the little red bottle.
The only thing that makes Leon feel slightly fortunate is that these side effects do not last long and can usually be relieved within a day or two depending on the user's constitution.
"If Antolia's soldiers take these medicines, the side effects will last for about twenty-four hours. In other words, Antolia's soldiers will lose their combat effectiveness the day after taking the medicine."
Collins said this when reporting the progress of potion development to Leon.
"Can it be eliminated?"
This is undoubtedly the question that Leon is most concerned about.
It is true that the small red bottle can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of Antoria soldiers, but if they lose their combat effectiveness the next day every time they take it, then the effect of this magic potion will be greatly reduced.
Not only do soldiers need to consider the situation on the battlefield when taking it, but they also have to consider whether they will encounter an enemy counterattack the day after taking it.
"It should be... ok."
Collins replied with some uncertainty.
"What does it mean?" Leon asked dissatisfied.
"It's like this."
Collins quickly explained: "According to the formula you provided, the prepared potion should show a crystal clear light red color. However, when we actually prepare the potion, we only need to add the red cordyceps Pour the juice into the crucible, and the prepared medicine will show an extremely obvious deep red color." "
Priest Kerman and I believe that the main reason for the side effects may be due to those red cordyceps."
Leon Frowning, he said, "Red cordyceps?"
"Yes!"
Collins nodded extremely seriously.
"Those red cordyceps may have been affected by... uh, some kind of influence, maybe due to the black mist on the other side of the mountains, or maybe because of something else. In short, the juice of the red cordyceps is the wrong color." In
Lai Before arriving in Antolia, Collins actually only had a very vague concept of the so-called black mist and the so-called place abandoned by the gods.
It wasn't until he actually came to this land that Collins realized the huge impact the black fog had on this land.
After hearing Collins' reply, Leon couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
He can basically conclude that the changes in the red cordyceps are most likely due to the influence of the black mist in the abandoned land.
After all, from plateau hounds to tall-footed monster birds, from elk geese to groms, there is no doubt that these special creatures that appear in Antolia are inseparable from the diffuse black fog.
"The shadow monster can swallow the black mist, and the hot sunlight can dispel the black mist. If this is the case, then there is always a way to eliminate the influence of the black mist on the red cordyceps, but we haven't discovered it yet." Leon said in a deep voice
:
" If this is the case, then you and Kerman must find ways to make various attempts to completely eliminate the negative impact caused by the red cordyceps. The Jimena family must repay their kindness. If this can be done, the Jimena family will also It will provide you with a brand-new magic path, such as... from the ancient magic mastered by ancestors thousands of years ago." If you
want a horse to run fast, you have to give it more grass.
Of course, it doesn’t have to be grass, a fragrant flatbread will work just as well.
"Collins will do his best!"
Hearing this, Collins immediately promised.
"In addition, although today's potions still have quite a few side effects, we should not stop the production of potions. Although the existence of side effects will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the potions, they are still somewhat useful."
"Besides, it would be good for the workers to practice their skills more."
Collins nodded quickly in agreement.
You know, although potions are related to magic, in today's Antolia, those workers working in the potion production workshops are all real ordinary people.
As the honorary deputy director of the potion production workshop, Collins was once shocked by the working methods of the potion production workshop.
Different workers are responsible for different processes of potion preparation.
Some are responsible for cleaning the raw materials to be used, and some are responsible for squeezing out the juice of the red cordyceps. In short, every step has a manpower specifically responsible for the process.
No one except Collins and Kerman knew the complete process flow.
This not only greatly improves the efficiency of work, but also greatly improves the confidentiality of the potion formula.
After all...
the workers who were stirring in the crucible with small wooden sticks had no idea what the paste they were mixing was, except that they could smell the stench coming from the red cordyceps juice.
The Viscount called it the potion production line.
Although the proficiency of the workers has not yet been improved, the success rate of preparing pharmaceuticals is really disastrous, but at least in Collins' view, this production method still shows an efficiency that he had never expected before.
"That's right!"
Just when Collins was about to turn around and leave, Leon suddenly remembered something and called him from behind: "You and Kerman are the only two people, so it's inevitable that you will be unable to do what you want.
" Let’s go to Parma City and use our enrollment quota as mages to deceive some mage apprentices to come back.”
Upon hearing this, Collins’ eyes widened.
After being silent for a long time, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Viscount is wise!"
There will be more in the evening~
