Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 100 Potion Experiment

"What type of house would you like to rent? That way I can help you find someone suitable," the hotel owner said.

After a moment's thought, Herag said, "Ideally, it would be a larger yard, a quieter area, not too noisy."

The hotel owner thought for a moment and said, "I understand. I'll make the contact for you, and I should be able to take you to see it tomorrow."

"Thank you." Herag placed five silver coins on the table.

The innkeeper smiled and accepted the money, saying, "You're welcome."

Dinner was served quickly. There was a pot of stew, and the side dish, which Hrag didn't recognize, was a kind of leafy green vegetable he had never seen before.

There was also a plate of pumpkin pancakes, still hot, so they looked freshly made.

In the middle of the night, Herag discovered that there was no curfew in the city of Ryan. Even at this late hour, people were still walking around on the streets, and several drunkards were making a lot of noise.

The next morning, Herag opened his eyes.

He sensed that the hotel owner was receiving someone who looked like someone who wanted to rent a room.

But it seemed that because Helag hadn't gotten up yet, he waited downstairs.

Herag went upstairs, and the innkeeper immediately came over and introduced them: "This is Mr. Geraint, who is looking to rent a quiet courtyard here. This is Coron; he has many properties in the west of the city and can show you around."

Koren was wearing a headscarf, had a round face, and a large belly; she probably weighed close to 300 pounds.

When he smiled, his eyes narrowed to slits. He said to Herag, "Mr. Geraint, I have rental properties available for rent ranging from ten silver coins to ten gold coins per month. Which price range are you looking for?"

"Ten gold coins a month? That's a bit expensive." Herag hadn't expected to find such expensive accommodations.

He thought for a moment and said, "It should be under one gold coin, and it must be quiet."

Corren rolled his small eyes: "I know, Mr. Geraint might like that place."

His carriage was waiting outside, and Herag got into it and started heading west of the city.

The carriage traveled through streets and market areas before crossing two main roads and finally arrived at its destination.

This is a residential area, but the houses all have relatively large courtyards, and the distance between different courtyards is also quite far.

Koren explained, "This is an affluent area. You won't see any homeless people here. There are soldiers guarding the intersections, and soldiers patrol the area every day. You don't have to worry about drunkards breaking into your home."

"It's very quiet here. The rent for this courtyard is one gold coin a month. Although it's a bit expensive, it perfectly meets Mr. Geraint's requirements. What do you think?"

Herag looked around and found it was indeed very quiet with very few people.

He went into the courtyard and looked around. There were three houses in the courtyard, and they were quite clean, so it seemed that someone cleaned them regularly.

Herag checked every place and found nothing wrong, so he said, "This will do. Rent it for three months."

Since the subsequent arrangements are still uncertain, he will rent for three months first and then see how things go.

Koren was surprised by his quick agreement and smiled so broadly his eyes narrowed: "Okay, no problem. Mr. Geraint, would you like a maid who can do laundry and cook? I can arrange that for you; it will only cost ten silver coins a month."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to handle this." Herag didn't want to spend time on these things, so he delegated them to Kolen.

It's just a matter of spending some money; he doesn't mind if Coron earns a little more, as time is more important to him.

That afternoon, Hrag completed the formalities and moved into the courtyard.

Coron was quick to act; a woman in her thirties named Judy, who lived in the Ryan slums, soon reported for duty.

Although she is not young or beautiful, she is very good at doing chores.

This was something Helag had specifically instructed him to do, because he was afraid that Koren would bring in a young and beautiful woman who couldn't handle things properly.

Koren understood immediately, realizing what Herag's core needs were, and quickly chose Judy, a woman who was very efficient at her work.

After moving in, Helag designated the largest house as his residential area.

There are also two slightly smaller houses. The one on the left was given to Ed and Judy for their daily living. It has four rooms, which is enough for them.

The small house on the right was designated a forbidden area by Hellagur, and Ed and Judy were not allowed to enter it. This was where Hellagur conducted potion experiments.

Life quickly returned to normal. Judy was in charge of purchasing the supplies required by Herag, while Ed drove the wagon to transport the supplies and also took care of the horses.

Herag stood in one of the rooms of the small house, with potion-making equipment neatly arranged before him.

Just like in Moonglade, he divided the room into several areas for different stages of potion-making.

He kept in mind the experimental guidelines Larry had explained and has strictly adhered to them ever since, also demanding that Deep Blue hold itself to the same standard.

"100 ml of pure water, 30 ml of Mist Treant's juice, 10 g of Dragon Tooth Grass powder, 3 drops of Poison Violet juice, and 5 drops of Datura juice."

This is a potion recipe deduced by Deep Blue. It can accelerate Hellagur's meditation speed. Deep Blue specially tailored the recipe for Hellagur based on his physique and meditation method.

Herag checked the recipe: "These are all basic potion ingredients; I have all of them."

Before he left, he filled his spatial ring with a bunch of basic potion-making materials that Larry had given him, so that he wouldn't lack potion-making materials to practice with after he came out.

According to the recipe, Helag began to prepare the corresponding materials.

"30 ml of the Mist Treant's sap..."

He took out a branch from his spatial ring; the branch came from the Mist Treeman.

To extract the juice, Hellagur needs to use magic to draw it out.

He took out a test tube and began to channel magic into the branch, starting to "drag" the sap out of it.

The pale yellow sap quickly seeped from the surface of the branch and dripped into the test tube.

Herag looked at the scale and put the branch back when it reached a little over 30 milliliters.

"10 grams of dragon tooth grass powder."

Herak took out a delicate little balance scale, and then took out a dragon tooth grass from his spatial ring.

Processing Agrimonia pilosa powder is a bit more complicated. It requires the Agrimonia pilosa to be completely dried before being crushed.

The baking temperature should not be too high or too low. Too high a temperature will cause the components in the agrimony to lose their activity, while too low a temperature will not achieve the desired effect of removing moisture.

This problem is easily solved for Hrag now, as he can manipulate fire-based energy particles.

He took out a beaker and placed it on the asbestos mesh, then used magic to gather some fire-type energy particles to ignite a small flame.

With the help of Deep Blue, he can precisely control the temperature and slowly roast the dragon tooth grass.
