Pioneer Lord: A Leisurely Imperial Life

Chapter 160 Aphrodisiac Alchemist

Carl reminded me.

Simon then realized that he had been making demands since he walked in, but hadn't demonstrated any of his abilities.

But he felt a little uneasy. After all, he was a high-level alchemist and had a small reputation in the Northern Territory.

Upon arriving in any territory, the lord would personally greet you and treat you with utmost respect and courtesy.

But in front of this young lord, he was like an ordinary woodcutter or a vagrant, and didn't even get a second glance.

Thinking of this.

Simon's pride flared up.

He straightened his hunched back slightly, raised his chin, and raised his voice a few decibels.

"After I mastered the ability to transform into a demon, I studied for five years in the Starry Sky Mage Tower, and then served Viscount Black Raven for forty years!"

"I know many formulas, in addition to the most common healing, cat's eye, cold resistance, and fire resistance medicines."

"They can also concoct various high-level potions such as those for brown bears, strengthening the body, increasing stamina, inducing drowsiness, hallucinations, and lightness!"

He spoke with conviction, as if reciting these names would impress the young lord before him.

But the lord didn't even glance at him, continuing to play with the squirrel as if the little beast was more interesting than him.

Simon's pride froze instantly.

He didn't know that in Richard's eyes, the formulas he presented were hardly high-end products.

Those healing potions and cat's eye potions are just basic medicines, which can be bought through certain channels, and a bottle costs only a few dozen copper coins to a few silver coins.

Intermediate alchemists can generally do all of these, but the materials are relatively difficult to obtain.

Advanced potions are slightly more valuable, ranging from a few silver coins to a few gold coins, but the ones Simon knows are really not that great.

Especially the four types: drowsiness, physical strength, endurance, and hallucination.

It can definitely be used on the battlefield.

More often than not, however, these were things used by those extravagant and decadent nobles to satisfy their dissolute lifestyles.

The so-called "strengthening agent" is just a fancy name; to put it bluntly, it's a male enhancement drug.

Psychedelic drugs are one of them.

Richard has a fighting physique, plus the life light of the Life Apostle, who would want such a rough thing?

Too low.

Just hearing about these high-level potions tells you how much of a frivolous person Viscount Black Crow used to be, which is why Simon was made to specialize in these few.

...

Simon began to panic when he saw that the lord remained unmoved, and his arrogance dissipated considerably.

He gritted his teeth.

He played his last card.

"My lord!"

"I'm researching a giant-growing potion, inspired by the bloodline of the Titans. Drinking it will instantly double your body size!"

"My own muscle strength will also increase exponentially. Given time and materials, I'm sure I can successfully develop it!"

Upon hearing this, even Karl couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

What good does it do to double the size of your body? Your vitality and magic power won't increase as a result.

With their existing vitality, the biological power derived from the soldiers' own muscle strength is negligible.

The Titan royal family can use their innate bloodline to transform themselves into giants over ten meters tall at will.

Only when it reaches that level will bio-force undergo a significant qualitative change; otherwise, it's just a facade.

and.

Alchemy potions differentiate body size and level.

If a person drinks it, they can grow to twice their size. If you replace it with rock armor earthworm, it would probably only change their single eyelids into double eyelids.

Moreover, this potion is still in the experimental stage, and whether it will even work is another matter. It would be strange if the lord would even be interested in it.

...

But no one expected—

Richard, who had been casually teasing the squirrel, suddenly stopped and looked up.

For the first time, her gaze truly fell upon Simon, her eyes filled with obvious curiosity.

"Giant Transformation Potion?"

Simon nodded quickly, his tone urgent.

"Yes, sir!"

"Once successfully developed, soldiers who drink the potion on the battlefield will instantly transform into giants over four meters tall, becoming invincible!"

Richard didn't care about being invincible; he only cared about one thing.

"How long can it last?"

Simon was taken aback, not expecting the lord to ask that, and quickly answered.

"It's still in the experimental stage, but based on my experience, the effects should last for at least five hours!"

Richard's eyes lit up.

Suddenly I laughed.

Simon was completely bewildered by the smile, his heart pounding with anxiety. Then he heard the young lord slowly chuckle and say:

"OK."

"Chiffon Castle can hire you for ten silver coins a month, with room and board included. I will also arrange a special alchemy workshop for you."

Upon hearing that it was only ten silver coins, Simon sighed silently. Back in Black Crow, he used to receive two gold coins every month.

However, he didn't want to ask for more. Having a place to stay and a supply of raw materials was better than anything else.

Just as he was about to bow and express his gratitude, he heard the lord continue speaking:

"However, there's one condition: all the finished products you develop must belong to Chiffon Cake. Is that acceptable?"

...

Simon agreed without hesitation.

"Of course!"

"However, this giantification potion requires some gold as a catalyst, and I hope to obtain ten grams of gold every day for the experiment."

As is customary.

If the employer can provide all the materials and the venue, then the finished product should indeed belong to the employer, and there is no dispute about that.

...

Ten grams?

Don't mention Richard.

Even Karl was a little stunned. How long had it been since he'd heard of this company?

If you go to a mine where gold ore has been mined, you can scoop up a handful of soil and sift out more than ten grams of it, right?

"no problem."

Simon breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the lord's agreement.

He is over seventy years old and has become indifferent to money and fame.

His only thought was to finish developing the giantification potion he had been researching for half his life before he died.

It's important to know that raw gold ore is very difficult to obtain. Lords who own gold mines usually have their own exclusive alchemists, so there aren't many opportunities for them.

He bowed again.

"Thank you, my lord. I will do my utmost to develop a finished product as soon as possible and live up to your expectations."

Richard waved his hand and called for the guards.

"Go to the city hall to report first. If you need any venue or materials, just go to the chief minister to apply."

"Yes, sir."

The guard led a grateful Simon out, leaving Richard and Carl alone in the hall once again.

Karl looked at the composed lord, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask:

"grown ups."

"Excuse my bluntness, but that giantification potion doesn't sound very useful, so why are you...?"

...

Richard gently placed the little squirrel in his hand on the long table and watched the little guy hop and skip back to the windowsill.

He turned to look at Karl, but the moment he opened his mouth, Karl was completely stunned.

"I don't care at all whether this giant growth potion is powerful in battle or not. I just want to know one thing."

"If a person were twice the size, wouldn't their stomach also increase in size? Wouldn't they be able to eat a lot more food in one meal?"

Carl opened his mouth, his jaw nearly dropping to the ground; he was completely bewildered.

So, the lord left behind a high-level alchemist, who spent gold, workshops, and manpower researching the legendary giantification potion...

It's all so that the soldiers of the legion can eat more food!?

He suddenly felt...

I feel like I've never really understood what this young lord is thinking.

but...

This line of thinking seems to make sense.

Although everyone is now eating Iridium crops every day and accumulating vitality very quickly, the time is still too short.

It would probably take more than half a year to catch up with those who have been eating it for more than ten years or half a lifetime.

If your appetite increases...

hiss...

Karl clicked his tongue. Although he understood the lord's thoughts, he still felt that something was amiss...
