Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine
Episode 756 One Person Play (8)
The day after meeting Clarisse and exchanging various conversations.
Lennok was silently staring at the object he had placed on the workbench in his private lab.
“… … .”
A golden liquid swirling inside the two vials.
Two bottles of elixir given to Lennok by Aris through Clarisse.
Did you say to use one bottle for yourself and the other for someone else?
But instead of taking it, Lennok had been thinking about the elixir all day since yesterday.
The reason why she devotes herself to research in the Mage Tower. A good intention to make Lennoc more time than was given.
But that was not the only reason for Lennok’s hesitation.
“Elixir… … .”
Clarisse said that Aris created the name of this elixir by referring to the literature of the Old World.
The literature of the old world must mean the traces or records of WORLD 1.0 and WORLD 2.0 that Lennok knew about.
The problem was that Lennok knew the meaning of the word [elixir] was not one.
‘In World 1.0 and 2.0, each Elixir had a different ability.’
Lennok thought, looking at the golden halo of light spinning inside the elixir.
‘One had recovery abilities, and the other seemed to have a rather unusual ability… … I can’t remember exactly.’
Since the elixir itself was an extremely rare item in WORLD, Lennok didn’t have many memories of seeing the real thing.
Only to the extent that I remember that both worlds were not oriented towards recovery.
That’s why Lennok was organizing his thoughts after obtaining Aris’ Elixir.
Even if Aris reproduced the elixir of the old world, it is unknown whether it is WORLD 1.0 or 2.0.
Even if we find out, we are not sure if it will improve Lennok’s current condition or penalty.
‘Clariss said that Elixir’s name was given in a double meaning. That could mean that both cases were referenced, but… … .’
In other words, it can be interpreted as ambiguous because it is an elixir and not an elixir.
In WORLD, high-end consumable artifacts such as Elixir were not only difficult to manufacture, but also had to be produced considering the weather and environmental conditions.
An object whose production itself relies on the natural environment and physical laws of the Old World.
That’s why Lennok, even after obtaining alchemy, did not attempt to manufacture the finest elixirs of the old world.
The level of difficulty in obtaining the necessary materials is too high, and it is difficult to match the production environment and it is not easy to remember all the prerequisites.
Of course, Aris probably couldn’t reproduce the old world’s production method the same way.
Nevertheless, the meaning of the name Elixir to this elixir.
Isn’t that, after all, related to the image of the original mind that Aris Richellen acquired while ascending to the Aspect level?
Thinking so, Lennok turned his gaze to the huge mechanical device hanging from the wall of the lab.
“It’s done.”
profit!!
The diluted solution is poured into a huge container hanging on one side of the wall and subdivided in turn.
An automated machine fills dozens of potion bottles with a certain amount of diluted solution and arranges them neatly.
click!!
While filling the potion bottles side by side in a neatly organized case, Lennok picked up a bottle of concentrated elixir that was lying on the workbench.
Open the lid and carefully pour half of the stock solution into the container.
The elixir mixed with the diluted liquid stored in the container is injected into the inside of dozens of potion bottles through a subdividing device.
The potion fell on top of the elixir drops that were divided drop by drop in advance, diluting the stock solution.
smart smart smart
The work that Lennok was working on in the laboratory was not simply analyzing the components of the elixir.
Instead of diluting one bottle of the two elixirs that Aris gave her as a gift and deteriorating the efficacy, she was working on increasing the amount.
Dabi, who had been watching over the workbench with her tail curled up, asked with an astonished look.
[I don’t think I gave you a gift to use it that way… … .]
“When I said to use it for other people, I don’t think I said it with a certain number of people.”
Lennok said, looking intently at him with his head tilted.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to have as many people as possible benefit from it? I’m saying this just in case, but I’m not saying it because the undiluted solution is a waste.”
[…] … .]
Lennok, who had finished his work with the unanswered spirit, straightened his back and quickly cleared the workbench.
“The subdivision is almost over. Now, if you put a barrier on the storage box and cast preservation magic… … .”
A bottle of undiluted solution for Lennok himself.
And a set of elixir diluents for others.
Of course, those ‘others’ may often include Lennok, but what does that matter?
Aris also gave the Elixir to Lennok as a gift, so she wouldn’t be picky about its use.
[The master’s tenacity to save the undiluted solution to such an extent is rather remarkable.]
“If you’re going to keep sneaking up on me, I’ll let you taste this result first.”
[Heh.]
Lennok laughed at Darby, who was holding his breath and trying desperately to distract himself.
“do not worry. Of course, I intend to try it first.”
[…] … Can’t I just die?]
“Of course. In the process of subdividing, the toxicity test was also completed. It passed the harmfulness standard of 555, so maybe… … .”
[Maybe?]
“… … It seems that there is no theoretical problem even if we conclude based on careful, prudent and logical reasoning that there is a high possibility that life will not be seriously affected.”
[Master is now persuading himself with useless adjectives.]
“… … .”
Even Lennok could not easily answer the piercing blow.
Although he is using the magical name of Elixir, he still does not know what the effect of the elixir will be.
In addition, it is true that anxiety is added because it is an elixir created by Aris, who has no knowledge in pharmaceuticals and manufacturing.
Although he trusted Aris, he couldn’t deny that his faith was slightly shaken when he thought of her dexterity that Lennok remembered.
Lennok, who had been silently looking at the vial opening in a transparent golden light, turned slowly.
“… … Come to think of it, it seems a bit early to take it right away.”
[Is that so?]
“Still, I have enough time to experiment. The reason I did it in the first place… … .”
Saying that, Lennok put down the potted plant from the window of the study room on the workbench.
It has the property of absorbing mana and promoting growth, so when dried and ground, it is also used as a component of a magic circle.
A potted plant bought at an auction that is not harmful while alive and is not bad for ornamental purposes.
Lennok stared at it for a moment, then carefully poured the dilution of the elixir into the pot.
[…] … Gulp.]
Dabi looks nervous from the side with her tail standing upright.
Soon after, a reaction began to come from the plants that absorbed the whitening liquid.
Chi profit… … !!
[There is a strange noise!]
“Calm down. Because he is still alive.”
The figure of a plant faintly swaying in its place, making a strange noise.
While Lennok and Darby carefully watch the change without blinking.
The trembling leaves suddenly stopped in place.
“… … .”
[…] … Is this the end?]
While Darby muttered, Lennok stroked his chin and was lost in thought.
“If it were Aris, he wouldn’t give me medicine for this effect. It may have been the type whose medicinal effect would not manifest if diluted.”
[Then did we just waste a dilution of the elixir that the organism gave us?]
“… … no. It can’t be.”
Lennok knows who Aris Richellen is.
A person who takes responsibility for his thoughts and decisions and gives the utmost weight to his words and actions.
A personality that does not hesitate to take responsibility for something and share the burden of others.
A person who knows the weight and weight of a promise and demands it more strictly for himself than for others.
Well after the sabbatical that Aris had promised Lennox, it’s clear how heavy the responsibility she feels is.
You must be thinking that you have to send perfect results as much as that time.
Even so, if it was enough to present the fruit to Lennok like this, it must have satisfied her standards.
There is no way that the medicinal effect will be obscured or weakened by just a few dilutions.
Diluting a bottle of Elixir right away and increasing the amount was possible because of Lennok’s trust in Aris.
“There may be trigger conditions that I didn’t think of. Let’s move around and analyze the ingredients-”
The moment Lennok thought so, he lifted the flowerpot with both hands.
Crisp!!
The bottom of the pot was broken and the roots of the plant began to grow rapidly.
The plants that had been in Lennok’s hands grew explosively and became huge enough to pierce the ceiling of the laboratory.
coo!!
Unable to overcome the weight and letting go of Lennok’s hand, the huge roots spread out in all directions.
Pasasasak!!
The plants that spread out in all directions become the shape of a huge tree in their place.
Darby, perched on a branch extending overhead, looked at Lennok with a puzzled expression.
[Is this rather too much?]
“… … .”
[Couldn’t this plant have been listening to us?]
“It can’t be. To be fair, it should be the type that takes effect a bit late.”
Lennok murmured, stepping back from the leaves and roots that were filling up the lab’s central workbench.
“But this isn’t very good… … Rather, it is difficult to use it this way.”
[Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to forcibly promote growth with medicinal effects?]
“It’s not necessarily like that. The fact that growth takes place in this way is proof that the medicinal effect is not controlled. Look.”
So said Lennok, pointing to the roots that stretched out under his feet.
As soon as growth ends, the roots start to dry up in an instant.
damn… … !!
It quickly crumbles from the tip of the root and the nodes fall off. The leaves withered and lost their vitality, and the green stems turned yellow and bowed their heads.
It’s a completely different look from the one that grew vigorously just before. Lennok said as he looked at the rapidly dying plants.
“They are not supplied with the same nutrients as they were forced to grow, so they die quickly from the recoil.”
[This… … .]
“The efficacy of the medicinal effect itself is focused on promoting the condition, and the reaction to maintain it is left to the outside.”
Saying that, Lennok carefully lifted the vial.
“Considering the growth and rebound seen in plants, is it also an attempt to embody the efficacy of the elixir that we already knew?”
[The solution diluted hundreds of times is this effective, but if you take the undiluted solution, it will be a big deal.]
Darby muttered as she climbed on top of Lennok’s head, but Lennok shook his head.
“Since it was absorbed directly into the plant’s roots, it’s only natural that the recoil is strong. If you drink it, it will be much more stable than this.”
But even as Lennok answered, he felt a question arise in a corner of his heart.
“As expected, you won’t know until you try it yourself.”
After muttering, Lennok immediately picked up a vial of diluent that was placed on the workbench.
[Ready for electric shock in case of heart attack. The preparations for calling the ambulance are complete!]
“… … .”
Lennok, ignoring Darby who jumped and made a fuss, closed his eyes and poured the diluent into his mouth.
A refreshing yet sweet taste. After eating strangely, it is difficult to remember the taste.
Inadvertently suppressing the desire to try another bottle, Lennok quickly checked his body condition.
Certainly, when taken through drinking, I do not feel explosive reactions or signs like the plants Lenok experimented with.
However, it is only felt that the elixir circulates lightly in the body along with the strange mildness unique to the diluted solution.
The senses of the whole body wake up sharply, and the magic rotation speed increases.
My metabolism was active, my body temperature rose quickly, and my skin seemed to be burning.
Lennok, who checked his condition while using his mana in that state, nodded.
“It’s not a healing agent either. Rather, it would be more accurate to see it as more like a stimulant or doping agent.”
Forcibly boosting the body’s metabolism and speeding recovery may be possible, but that is not the purpose of the elixir’s efficacy.
What Lennok knew through the diluted elixir elixir was that it could be used as a safer and more convenient stimulant.
Although it has similar effects to the pain relievers and stimulants used by Lenoc, the only thing you need to take care of is to quickly supply the necessary nutrients after taking it.
Perhaps, compared to stimulants that have been used so far, it is by far the safest drug with the fewest side effects.
However, it is also self-evident that the medicinal effect does not live up to expectations for this alone to be called an elixir.
What did Aris expect when presenting this elixir to Lennok?
While Lennok was lost in his thoughts, Darby seemed to observe something else in the body.
[master. I’m observing the master’s body with the lab’s component analyzer right now?]
Darby tilted her head as she said that.
[But right after taking the elixir, something seems strange.]
“What?”
At those words, Lennok looked back at himself.
Although the body temperature rose slightly, as Darby said, there was little or no abnormality.
Lennok thought deeply about the inconvenience or problem he felt.
“If I had to question it, I was a little hungry right after taking it.”
[…] … No, it’s not like that.]
Darby waggled his tail as if it were absurd.
[In the first place, there’s no way you can see through the master’s stomach with a component analyzer, right?]
“Then, what part is abnormal?”
From the moment he first opened his eyes in this world, Lennok had been extremely sensitive to his physical condition.
Now that I have managed it through constant effort and trial and error, I can immediately notice even the smallest problems.
Does that mean that a problem that Lenok cannot feel even with his own senses can be seen as a component analysis device in the laboratory?
As Darby said, it would be strange for an analyzer to break through Lennok’s ability to resist and see his condition.
Darby pointed her paw at the screen of the analyzer as Lennok moved to get a closer look.
[If you check the log for this time zone, there is a section where the Master’s magical power does not change at all.]
“… … .”
[Originally, it was impossible to measure the amount of horsepower, but the fluctuation itself could be estimated through a graph, right?]
Darby tilted her head.
[It seems that there was a section that could not even be estimated right after taking it. Perhaps that’s why they recognize the Master as an inanimate object.]
As the saying goes, the component analyzer simultaneously displays a graph estimating the target’s horsepower and its fluctuations.
Even so, there was a section where the fluctuation graph of the amount of horsepower that reflected Lennok drew a flat vertical line.
The fact that there is a point where the amount of magical power itself is externally fixed and observed, regardless of whether it consumes or accumulates magical power.
Lennok asked as if on a whim.
“Davi, what was the amount of stored magic power of that plant that changed earlier?”
[I just looked through that log, and it’s the same as Master. There are times when the amount of magic power is not observed at all immediately after the injection of the diluted solution.]
Even though plants that promote growth through magic power grow explosively, there is a section where the amount of magic power does not fluctuate.
“Right… … .”
Lennok muttered as he stared at the graph with an interesting expression.
“Perhaps the secret of the Elixir that Aris gave you is here.”
Lennok fell from the device and immediately took another bottle of elixir dilution from the workbench.
The moment I felt that my senses were quickly awakening, I raised my mana and chanted magic.
[Alpha Light]
Aaah!!
A dazzling light source instantly filled the large space of the laboratory and spread out.
A light source so intense that Darby grumbled and covered his eyes with his paws.
However, Lennok did not stop there and continued to chant the same magic over and over again.
[Alpha light]
[Alpha light]
[Alpha light]
… …
PABABABABABAAT!!
The whole area of the laboratory was dyed with dazzling light, and it became so bright that it was impossible to see even an inch in front of it.
It gives the illusion of being buried in a huge halo of light.
However, Lennok ignored the environment around him and focused only on checking the amount of magic power.
‘There is no change in the amount of horse power.’
Among the common magic, there was a point in time where the consumption of magical energy did not occur even after continuous chanting of Alpha Light, which had very poor fuel economy.
It was only then that Lennok, who finally understood the power of the elixir, smiled faintly.
“The awakening and promotion itself through taking it was an additive effect. The real effect was somewhere else.”
If he had used magic right after taking the elixir, he would have noticed it right away.
I didn’t notice it because I was focused on checking the status without doing anything.
The reason why the analyzer did not observe Lennok’s mana fluctuations.
The root cause that even Lennok didn’t understand Elixir’s real ability at first.
The Elixir didn’t just hide or hide Lennok’s magical power.
Power that preserves the magical power itself even when using magic or extracting a large amount of magical energy.
“It is a power that preserves the amount of magical power regardless of whether it is consumed or not… … Aris made something really ridiculous.”
The Elixir that Aris had prepared was literally ‘fixing’ Lennok’s magic power for a while.
