Chapter 129: Alchemy... The Terrifying Rapid Thought!
The next day quickly dawned.
After asking around for the location of the alchemy studies, Kranos obtained the information and quickly headed to the place. Entering, a wave of medicinal scent was the first thing that hit his nose. He scratched his nose slightly, then glanced ahead, where he saw a kind-looking young elf instructing a youth who held several herbs in his hand.
Coughing slightly, Kranos interrupted the two elves. The elder immediately turned his attention to Kranos. He frowned slightly upon seeing a human enter his alchemy lecture hall, but after some thought, he recalled who Kranos was.
"You are the young man with whom we had an agreement with the royal prince, are you not?" the elder elf asked, raising an eyebrow.
Kranos nodded at his words. The man’s expression changed slightly. "In that case, find somewhere to sit. In a moment, I will tell you what you will do first to embark on the path of alchemy."
Glancing at the few stone slabs around, Kranos found one to sit on and wait while the elf completed his teaching for the youth before him. The youth’s brows creased slightly as he stared at Kranos, and a flash of killing intent passed through his eyes as he looked at Kranos for a fleeting moment.
Kranos didn’t notice this, as his attention was on what the elder was describing to the young man: "With four veins on the leaf, you can make the medicinal strength more potent than when it has two veins or one. Also, with this kind of leaf, ensure you add a drop of hortic flower..."
Time passed as the two continued their lesson, with the youth asking questions at intervals. Fortunately, after roughly an hour, the lesson was finally done. The old man left the youth, then walked up to Kranos. He waved his green robes, and immediately a thick book appeared in his hand.
Kranos was slightly startled and stared at the book in a daze. The noise of the thick book banging against the table woke him from his thoughts. He stared at the book, then at the old man. Written atop the book were the words, ’Everything You Need to Know About Crafting Rank One Pills.’
