Chapter 155: Magic Potion?!

They looked at the blonde girl with a strange expression.

"Why would Lady Army Lady ask this question?"

"Usually, if a monster gets close to a town, it would be discovered. It is almost impossible to sneak into the town without being noticed, right?"

Just before Lin Yu could explain, Will continued from Mayer and Sally’s words.

"The powerful monster Lady Army Lady just mentioned should refer to the advanced monster."

"Advanced monster… are you talking about Class B monsters?!"

"Yes, it’s a powerful being like the guildmaster that has reached Class B… capable of destroying human race villages all by itself."

"But to reach this level, a Class B Monster must be very strong. Also, if it can sneak into a town, it might not have to be a Class B Monster; some special monsters that can burrow underground can also do it."

"Like the Abyss Worm, for example?"

"Ugh… don’t mention that disgusting thing!"

"Hahaha, Sally, you saw the picture of the Abyss Worm in the monster guide, right? I heard from the old adventurers that they look even more disgusting in real life. Just imagine it."

"Go away!"

Sally and Mayer started to playfully wrestle with each other.

Will curiously asked Lin Yu.

"The monster that sneaked into the town and caused harm to people, the one you heard about, Lady Army Lady… what kind of monster was it?"

"I didn’t ask; I was running away at the time. I heard these rumors on the way."

She told a lie with a blank expression.

"Aowenduo Town is close to Granville Monster Forest. I asked you these questions because I plan to settle in Aowenduo Town."

"So that’s how it is…"

Will was surprised.

"But don’t worry, Your Excellency Army Lady, while monster attacks on towns do happen sometimes, they are usually carried out by lower-level monsters in small numbers. Aowenduo Town hasn’t seen a large-scale monster invasion in many years, and advanced monsters usually only stay in the forest, not coming out of it."

"What if a large-scale monster invasion really happens? How would the town respond?"

"Well, if there is a large-scale monster invasion, I think the Defense Magic Crystal set up in the town square might activate, creating a protective barrier that surrounds the entire town."

"Defense Magic Crystal?"

"You’re surprised, right? A border town with just over fifty thousand people can have a Defense Magic Crystal that covers the whole town. It is said that the lord spent a lot of money to have it made in the royal capital. The magic patterns on the defense crystal are very complex; just one look can make a person dizzy."

"Hmm, I am a bit surprised."

I had discussed with Magic Rainbow before whether such items existed in the town, but I didn’t expect there would really be some…

"Besides the Defense Magic Crystal, are there other ways to respond?"

"The other way… should be to organize the army and adventurers to drive away the monsters. If there are too many monsters to handle, the lord might send someone to ask for help from the nearest town. Also, the lord might have other ways to deal with it, but those are not things we can know."

"I see."

Lin Yu didn’t want to continue discussing this topic but instead asked about the thing she was most concerned about.

"Is there an Apothecary in the town?"

Ah, I’m so nervous…

Is there a shop that sells magic potions or something like that?

"Of course there is."

There really is!

"Although Aowenduo Town is small, it has several apothecaries."

"What kinds of potions are in the apothecary? How much do they cost?"

As an adventurer, it’s very normal to be curious about this.

So, Lin Yu learned from them about the main products in the apothecary.

Even though it’s called an apothecary, it mainly sells various ointments and powders, and there are very few types of potions.

Among these potions, the most important one is the Life Recovery Potion, which can restore Health Value. Next are the attribute enhancement potions that temporarily boost abilities, and the least common is—

The Magic Recovery Potion that can restore Magic Value!

In terms of price, the Magic Recovery Potion with the smallest quantity is the most expensive. Even the lowest quality small bottle of Magic Recovery Potion costs three to five silver coins, which is about the value of a whole Granville Wolf’s body.

As for the effect, drinking a small bottle of low-quality Magic Recovery Potion will likely restore less than 10 points of Magic Value.

Magic Recovery Potions, like Life Recovery Potions, are also divided into one-time use and continuous use types.

Continuous use potions are comparatively more expensive.

After all, in a small bottle of the same quality magic potion, the continuous use type can restore a greater total amount of Magic Value over time than the one-time use type.

However, just like red fruit, no matter the quality of the potion, if a certain amount is consumed in a short time, its effect will gradually decrease until it completely becomes ineffective.

The quality of these magic potions is also classified into levels, generally divided into low, medium, high, and very high.

The higher the quality, the better the effect of that type of magic potion.

It is said that a high-quality one-time use Magic Recovery Potion can restore over a hundred points of Magic Value at once.

Unfortunately… according to Will, the Apothecaries in Aowenduo Town do not seem to sell high-quality Magic Recovery Potions, and the number of Magic Recovery Potions is very limited. One Apothecary even does not sell Magic Recovery Potions at all.

Because the pharmacist at this shop cannot make Magic Recovery Potions.

To make a magic potion, one first needs to have the "qualification" to produce magic potions, which simply means holding the skill – "Pharmaceutical Production."

But having the "Pharmaceutical Production" skill is not enough, as the success rate of using this skill is not very high.

The pharmacist needs to adjust the amounts of the required materials and even control the temperature and other conditions to increase the success rate of the "Pharmaceutical Production" skill.

However, even if it is successfully made, the quality of the potion may not always be satisfactory.

For various reasons, the number of magic potions has always been very low.

But no matter what, even if the quantity is small, all the Magic Recovery Potions in the several Apothecaries together should be enough for personal use, right?

The key issue is the money.

To buy a lot of Magic Recovery Potions, a lot of money is needed.

As for the money… it’s actually simple. If I sell the advanced monster materials I’ve saved over the years, I can get a lot of money.

However, the problem is…

Whether buying a large number of Magic Recovery Potions or selling precious monster materials, it feels like it will attract a lot of attention.

Until I understand the town better, I should avoid doing anything that stands out too much.
