Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 75 75. Configuring potions and information

 Lan is still sorting out the piles of herbs, and has conversations with Margarita from time to time.

"You know, my lonely and boring students are very interested in you. A strong, energetic, and exotic-looking demon hunter, he has also obtained the right of passage above Luoxia Palace for the first time. If I hadn't stopped Well, on your first night here you will be visited by a few unknown 'guests'."

 Lan En used a mortar to crush the petals on his hand and raised his eyebrows as he asked.

“‘Several’? Are all sorceresses so open-minded? I thought they would just take turns at most.”

“Don’t underestimate the attractiveness of your body, little witcher. Especially for sorceresses.”

Margarita rested her chin on the armrest of her wheelchair.

“I know that most men will not refuse this kind of treatment, but I regard you as an ally and friend. When I want to give you a benefit, I will inform you in advance and obtain your consent.”

"What do you think? I can lift the ban outside your room tonight. Those students may have a fight in the afternoon class just to be the first to enter your room."

 When Margarita said this, she looked at the witcher's body jokingly.

He doesn’t look like the dean of a college, but rather like he can’t wait to have fun.

 For the Sorceress Academy, this is indeed harmless fun.

"Please keep this ban, Rita. My first time was actually to find a succubus."

 Damn it, you tell dirty jokes! Who is afraid of whom!

Poor virgin Mr. Lan, relying on the witcher's body control ability to avoid blushing at this time!

 This is the dignity that belongs to men!

 “Ah succubus.”

 Behind Lan En, Margarita's words sounded very calm.

 But there was a faint creaking sound, as if something like a wooden handrail was being tightly grasped.

“Yes, this kind of creature designed for pleasure is also very popular. Maybe the academy can help you find it.”

 After saying that, the sound of the wheelchair rolling sounded until outside the door.

 “Huh-” Lan En breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she turned her head, covered her mouth and snickered like a squirrel, and was glanced at by a cat.

 I immediately straightened my face and trotted to wash the used mortar.

 The time plan given by Mentos is very strict.

After several hours of inputting the potency data of medicinal materials into the database, Lan En now has experience in distinguishing most of the medicinal materials commonly used in alchemy, which is equivalent to that of an ordinary alchemist who has worked for five or six years.

 【Alchemy】-73% ​​proficiency.

This is sufficient for potion preparation.

Of course, the price for such fast learning is that nearly one-seventh of the huge funding has been spent.

At the lunch stall, Lan had already explored all the common types of medicinal materials in Arethusa's reserve.

 Pharmaceutical experience is entered into the database as reference data for future preparations of medicines.

 As the two major warlock academies in the north, the reserves of Aretusa are enough to represent the vast majority of medicinal materials on the market.

“[Swallow], [Pure White Rafad], [Enhanced White Honey]. Is my alchemy proficiency enough to make these three potions?”

Mentos seemed very confident in response to Lan En's inquiry.

“This is the point of the proficiency system in the biological brain, sir.”

“Your [Alchemy] skill comes from Bordon. The full name should be [Bordon’s Alchemy]. The 73% proficiency represents 73% of Bordon’s highest alchemy level.”

“In the future, if you obtain higher-level alchemical knowledge from others, the skill name will also change to [***’s Alchemy], and the proficiency value will change accordingly.”

“Ordinary humans will have state ups and downs, but with the help of the intelligent brain, as long as the subject does not suffer organic damage, the proficiency will not diminish.”

“Is Bordon’s highest alchemy strength of 73% enough to make these three potions? Is there something wrong with your sense of taste, smell, and touch now?”

 “I think you know that.”

Yes, no problem.

 Lan En nodded slightly to himself.

"My lord, you have already finished washing. Three times of clean water, no less than once."

Alia took out glassware one after another from the sink and placed them again on the alchemy table.

 Lan En motioned her to stand aside and walked to the alchemy table.

 This is no longer practice, but real preparation.

 Prepare a "medical kit" to protect yourself for that long-prepared operation.

"Hu-Mentos. The alchemy assistance mode is on." "The order has been received, the alchemy recipe is called out, the first item [Swallow], the assistance starts."

   ~~~~~~

 As dinner was approaching, Lan En found Margarita who was leisurely reading a book of love poems with a glass of Alverose red wine.

 This woman does not look like the rumored mage at all.

Compared to boring spell research and bloodless political manipulation, her enjoyment of luxurious life actually seems a little refreshing.

 “Don’t get too close, little witcher. Your herbal smell will ruin this drink.”

The sorceress pointed to Lan En a mahogany chair not far away and motioned for him to sit there.

 Her face was much colder than the conversation in the morning.

　That chair has a valuable sheepskin cushion nailed to the seat that makes people feel comfortable at first sight.

Lan En spread his hands and sat down calmly.

 “I thought the smell of succubus would ruin this drink.”

 “Succubus, hum.” Margarita chuckled.

"It seems you are finally free. Do you have anything to do with me?"

Lan En complimented sincerely.

"Your alchemy classroom is indeed very useful. But after all, I am an employee of Arethusa College, and I am here for information this time."

 When it came to business, both of them looked serious. Lan En's body leaned forward slightly on the chair, while Margarita put down her poetry book and wine glass.

“Swinging Horse, has the information about this ship arrived?”

Headeater finally boarded the ship with more than twenty children in his hands. This was the only clue Lan En had about their whereabouts.

After Margarita stated that she wanted Lan to be her "debt collector", Aretuza College took over the pursuit of this information.

They are a long-established and powerful academy. The sorceresses who graduated from here have established a network of relationships through the academy.

This power is much stronger than a weak demon hunter when used to search for clues.

“Thanks to the college’s network, our foreign affairs department did find something.”

 When talking about eating one of her students and almost eating her own offal, Margarita's face was so cold that it was scary.

“The registered address of the Swaggering Horse is in Novigrad. They travel between the Nilfgaard Empire in the south and Novigrad all year round, and they are engaged in the precious timber business.”

 Lan En changed into a comfortable sitting position on the chair.

“The trade capital of the world and the distant southern empire. It sounds like this transaction is normal.”

"It doesn't 'seem', everything about them is normal. According to the route information, they will indeed pass by the coast of Velen at night when you defeat those bastards. In other words, what you saw was not a deck ship."

 Margarita has a small backpack hanging on the back of her wheelchair.

 The style is a delicate carry-on bag commonly used by women.

She rummaged through it with her hands and took out a large pile of information.

 Lan En couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

That stack of information is obviously larger than a small satchel.

This is magic that interferes with space.

 The blonde beauty flipped through the information.

"What's even more 'coincidental' is that the captain of this ship originally ordered a group of horse-drawn carriages from the carriage house in Novigrad in advance to transport goods, but yesterday, the carriage house received a notice of reduction of carriage rental and a breach of contract. gold."

Lan En said with a half-smile: "If it is used to transport people, how many carriages will be enough to transport people?"

Margarita sneered as she flipped through the information page by page: "A hundred or so."

 “What about after the reduction?”

 “At most twenty-five.”

 “Aha.” Lan En smiled and clapped on his chair, but his eyes had already begun to glow coldly.

 “Then the final question is the destination of this cargo?”

 “Pop!” Margarita threw the pile of information into her hand, making a crisp sound.

"Not far away, the capital of Temeria - Vizima."
