C9 A Maid Who Doesn't Know Pharmaceutics Isn't a Good Character
Virna placed white bread and black tea in front of her. Riko grabbed the food and wolfed it down. While she ate, she asked vaguely, "You are Devil Instructor Merlin?"
Old Devil Instructor's beard trembled again and his turbid eyes stared at her. "Is this how you treat the old Devil Instructor?"
"Sorry."
Riko shrank her body. She did not know what the etiquette in this world was, so she was afraid that some words would anger this old grandpa.
He seemed to be a Devil Instructor? Elsa said she was a Great Devil Instructor? If that was the case, then she should be stronger than him, right?
"Oh right, what's your name?"
"Rico Heskava."
"I came to take you in because I thought you had nowhere to go. I didn't want you to freeload here," Old Merlin said. He did not seem to mind. "Go and change clothes with Virna. Now you will be my maid for the time being. I will give you 20 Aldran Shield a month. How about it?"
" Do you have any questions? "
Riko hesitated for a moment.
"I still need to go to the royal School of Magic Theory of Lotterdall," she said as she took out the envelope Elsa gave her from the pocket of her mage robe.
The old man took the envelope and narrowed his eyes.
"RMI? That's true. But it's fine. You'll only start school in two months. It's still early. Virna is just about to reach her age. You guys can go together when the time comes."
As he spoke, he returned the envelope to Riko's hand. He patted the unkempt mage's robe and walked upstairs. Riko suspiciously thought for a while, but when she thought that she had nowhere else to go, she still nodded and agreed.
"But I keep feeling that this is very shameful?"
Riko Hasegawa's face turned red, her hands tightly pulling on the black and white dress, restless and restless.
From the mirror, Riko was very suitable for this black and white dress and white ribbon. After wearing this dress, she was much cuter than when she was wearing the old magic robe.
"It's fine." Virna waved her hand as if she did not care. "Mr. Merlin has been obsessed with magic and pharmaceuticals all his life. This may be another small interest of his."
"Can I prepare a holy light skill under my skirt?"
"Yes."
While the two were talking, Old Devil Instructor's loud voice came from upstairs.
"Are you guys done yet? If you guys are done, ask Rikku to help me get the Ghost Grass back!"
"Mr. Merlin, we are done."
Virna replied while blinking at Riko. Riko understood what she meant and walked into the garden through the back door.
Riko shuttled between the colorful plants and found a very important problem.
She did not know what the Ghost Grass was!
Or it could be said that Riko did not recognize the strange plants in the garden.
This was a little awkward.
"The Ghost Grass might look like grass, right?"
Riko could only start to understand this word from the literal meaning.
"Although this thing looks like grass, it is fiery red. Since it is called the Ghost Grass, then it should be green or blue, right? "
Riko took a long time to find two plants that fit the name of "Ghost Grass" in a large variety of plants in the garden.
"Since these herbs are so strange, will they be very expensive?"
Riko muttered as she carefully reached out her hand to pull the plants up.
In fact, Ghost Grass was a very common magic plant that was used to make potions. It was the lowest level magic plant. As it was not rare and the production rate was often higher than the demand, the price had always been very low. In addition, it was not a high-end item. Almost every child in Hagerstown knew what it looked like.
It was a pity that Riko came from Alien World.
Riko's small hand gently pinched the plant that she thought was the Ghost Grass. She used a little bit of strength to pull it up. At the moment the last thread of fiber that was connected to the ground was torn apart, The kitchen knife that accompanied Riko across two worlds suddenly appeared in front of her eyes in the storage cabinet that should have been quietly lying in the house.
It was not the kitchen knife itself, but a translucent shadow that was suspended in the air.
When the shadow of the kitchen knife appeared, Riko's eyes suddenly lit up and a pop-up pop-up appeared in the air.
Congratulations! Your Trade Skill pharmaceuticals has leveled up. Current Level: Beginner.
Before Riko could finish reading the words on the window, a new pop-up appeared in front of her eyes, and the pop-up disappeared.
Congratulations! Your Trade Skill pharmaceuticals has leveled up. Current level: Intermediate.
Congratulations! Your Trade Skill pharmaceuticals has leveled up. Current Level: Advanced.
Congratulations! Your Trade Skill pharmaceuticals has leveled up. Current level: Master.
Congratulations! Your Trade Skill pharmaceuticals has leveled up. Current level: Grandmaster.
Congratulations! Your Trade Skill pharmaceuticals has been upgraded. Current level: Master Alchemist.
Riko froze on the spot.
A few seconds later, she sighed helplessly.
"She didn't expect the other skills to be at the same level."
Riko looked speechlessly at the plant in her hand and muttered softly, She wants to take it well.
"And I actually guessed it right, this really is a Ghost Grass."
Originally she did not know any magic plants, but in an instant, she suddenly understood.
A large amount of knowledge appeared in Riko's mind out of thin air - the effects of every plant, what kind of things could be used together, and what kind of potion they would be used in. Now she turned her head to look at the plants that she was unfamiliar with a minute ago, but her heart was filled with familiarity and intimacy.
She grabbed a handful of Ghost Grass and climbed up the stairs, pushing open the door of Old Devil Instructor's alchemy lab on the second floor.
"You can just put it on the table."
Old Merlin said. He was focusing on burying his head between the beaker and the test tube. Riko sniffed the smell of the medicine, then placed the plant on the long table and said something without thinking.
"If I were you. I would immediately scoop out the two Wind Bone Flowers, or open the shield."
Old Merlin was surprised. The next second after Riko closed the door, there was a dull explosion in the laboratory.
