C13 This Was Probably an Animation
A dozen minutes later, Riko walked out of the Pharmacist Guild with a scroll drawn with a golden formation array and a small bag of money in her hand.
Dominika gave her a bank cheque of 35,000 gold coins and 100 shield-shaped cash as the advance payment for the two bottles of Baptism Potion. The sudden wealth made Riko feel like she was in an illusion. She narrowed her eyes and stood under the sunlight. She casually stuffed the cheque into the pocket of her robe. She did not know where to go.
She stood there and hesitated for two seconds. Then, she decided to return to Old Devil Instructor and Merlin's big house first.
Just as Riko was about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared from the Pharmacist Guild behind her.
Dorothy Skrovska ran out of the guild while panting. As she ran, she shouted "Master Hesigawa," attracting the attention of passers-by. Riko did not react in time, so she prepared to chant the flying skill.
When Riko realized that someone was calling her, Dorothy had already run to the front of Riko, whose legs were suspended in the air, and pulled her sleeve.
"What is the matter with you?"
The gray-haired girl was helpless and could only cut off the magic infusion and let her fall back to the ground.
However, when Riko asked, Dorothy bit her lips and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself. Her eyes slightly drooped as if she hesitated for a long time before opening her mouth. She did not have the courage from before at all.
"I'm sorry."
In the beginning, Dorothy just did not want to waste time because she was a bottle of medicine that was half filled and was called out by the guild leader to receive Riko. Originally, the interruption of the medicine made people unhappy, and when they saw that Riko was a bit young, it made them unhappy. So she naturally wouldn't be polite with her words.
But who knew that she was a pharmaceuticals Great Master who could casually produce Back Ring Potion and Baptism Potion.
"I shouldn't have been disrespectful to you just now."
Dorothy had been regarded as a pharmaceuticals genius since she was young, so when she apologized, a faint blush appeared on her face, and her voice was also very weak.
"Alright," Riko interrupted her. "I won't fuss over such a small matter. If you are only here to apologize, you can leave."
"No!" Dorothy saw that the grey-haired girl showed signs of leaving again, so she did not care about anything else. She grabbed Riko's arm and her gaze was sincere and fervent.
"I want to learn medicine from you!"
Just as Dorothy said this sentence, she began to regret.
Her original goal was indeed to become her disciple, but she was afraid that no Potion Master would accept a disciple who had just concocted a Back Ring Potion half an hour ago as a low-quality magic recovery medicine and appraised the value of four Aldran Shield.
Dorothy's original plan was to talk to her for a long time and think of a way to reduce the negative impression she had just now to a very low level before slowly bringing the topic up. Unfortunately, Riko did not play by the rules.
Hearing her words, Riko indeed stopped her body and turned around, tilting her head.
"Of course you can."
"What?"
Dorothy originally closed her eyes and was prepared to be rejected, but she did not expect that it would not be a rejection. Instead, she agreed without hesitation. Riko naturally did not care about her small offenses previously and the reason why she decided to take her away. Just want to have a friend to chat with.
"Master Hesigawa, so you agreed?"
Just as Dorothy finished speaking, Riko hit Dorothy on the head. She did not add any magic, so other than letting her hug her head and cry out in pain, she did not cause any substantial harm to her.
"Pain..."
The grey-haired girl blinked her eyes and stared at the little pharmacist that was hugging her head, "In the future, don't call me Master Hesigawa, and you don't need to address me respectfully. Just call me Rikku."
"Eh? Why..."
"If you don't listen to me, I will expel you from the sect."
" Alright then... "
When Riko brought Dorothy back to Merlin's house, Old Devil Instructor was still in his room admiring the small bottle filled with blue liquid. He had never smelled the smell of Back Ring Potion in his life. Now he finally got a bottle. He felt happy, as if he was living in a dream.
So Virna simply arranged two rooms for Riko and Dorothy. After all, this house was big and there were only two people living in it. There were still many empty rooms.
Virna seemed to be the descendant of a distant relative of Old Merlin who lived in Westfalen. They did not even have the same surname. Her name was Vilna Heissenberg. After her parents passed away, the kind-hearted Old Merlin happened to hear about this matter. He brought her here.
Wait. The orange haired girl put down her things and Riko pulled her to the front door of the medicine lab.
Because she felt that she had nothing to do on the way back, the grey haired girl began to think about a problem.
As the number one mage and richest man in Hagerstown, Old Merlin looked very glorious. However, Riko could clearly sense that Old Devil Instructor had been stuck at the Level 9 Devil Instructor level for many years. That was why, normally speaking, with his talent in magic, he was not particularly outstanding. He was afraid that he would never be able to advance to the Great Devil Instructor.
Riko could, of course, take out the medicine that could directly help him advance. And there was more than one, but she did not want to use that kind of method to solve the problem. After all, relying on medicine to directly advance was not the right way to do it. If that was the case, His strength would be slightly weaker than other mages of the same level.
Therefore, the gray-haired girl's idea was to try creating a super enhanced Baptism Potion.
Using medicine to increase the magic talent of a Peak Devil Instructor would indirectly help such a person break through to the Great Devil Instructor or even higher realm. Such an idea would definitely be treated as a joke by most pharmacist. Even for a Master Alchemist pharmaceuticals like Riko, it would not be easy. However, there was a saying that only a difficult problem could stimulate one's desire to challenge.
Anyway, she did not seem to have anything to do for the time being, so she might as well research medicine.
Oh right, did Isera chase after Helen?
"Dorothy, can you help to calculate this thing..."
Riko casually grabbed a piece of paper and wrote a formula on it and handed it to the orange haired girl.
"Okay, Ms Rikku."
The grey haired girl raised her eyebrows when she heard Ms Rikku's words. In the end, she did not say anything to stop her.
Dorothy took the piece of paper and started to calculate while lying on the table.
"That, this is not good for your eyes."
Riko looked at the side profile of the girl at work and reminded her.
