Chapter 18 - Consumables shop

Kael went outside the shop and he was carrying his new steel sword. His new destination was a shop of consumable goods. He walked by the distance and saw a shop that was visited by his adventurer friends yesterday.

He arrived and saw a well-built house made of wood. It says on the signboard, "Welcome to Emily's consumable shop." The door was wooden and it has an "Open" sign inscribed on it.

He pushed the door and then the sweet smell permeated his nose. While looking at the walls, it has many potions that were displayed. Many of it was familiar to Kael but he doesn't know some of it.

"Hello sir, I'm Emily! What potions would you like to purchase?" she asked him in a courteous manner.

She has a commoner's clothes but it has a good smelling perfume poured in it. She smiled at Kael and then waited for his reply.

"I want to purchase five health potions and poison potion, as well as a monster attractant potion." Kael said politely. Responding on her sweet behaviour.

"One silver coin to each health potion, one silver coin to poison, and two silver coins to monster attractant. All in all, seven silver coins." she said to him.

Kael handed down his silver coins and then Emily took her displayed potions, giving it to him.

"Thank you for your purchase, anything else?" she said to him.

Kael was watching all the products in the store and saw that only potions were sold here.

"Do you sell ingredients?" Kael asked her curiously.

"Yeah, we sell them but only a few were interested in making potions, so we put them at the back." she said worriedly.

"How about I will make it into potions and then you will buy it from me. How's that?" he said to her cheerfully.

"You're an alchemist? How?" she asked in curiosity.

"Well, I've been studying alchemy at a young age! Well how about a contract?" he said seriously.

"Of course! I will be glad to," Emily said while smiling.

They went inside and Kael saw the alchemy table. Kael then began his alchemy, he used mortar and pestle for grinding his ingredients and used a presser to remove the juice and throws the excess solid parts.

First, he will make strength potions, its ingredients were called strength herbs. He pounds them on the mortar and pestle and then put it on a strainer and poured water. In a minute, he created five potions with one kilo of strength herbs. Its ratio was one-is-to-ten, which means every one tablespoon of its juice, there were nine tablespoons of water.

Next was the swift potion, its ingredient was called rapid herbs. He has two kilos of it and then began his alchemy. He washed his mortar and pestle and the strainer. He pounds the rapid herbs and strained it. The excess solid fibers were thrown away. He managed to make ten kilos of the swift potion.

Next was the stamina potion, its ratio was two-is-to-ten. He has one and a half kilo of stamina herbs. He pounded it till it has juice, he extracted its juice, and then made seven stamina potions.

Next was the health potion, it has blood herbs as an ingredient. Kael pounded the blood herbs and it has a reddish black color and releases the sweet smell. With five kilos, he created fifteen potions. Then mana potions, he has three kilos of mana herbs and it produced eleven potions.

Next was the poison potion, they have blight herb that has a strong poison effect. With three kilos, he has made seven potions. It has lesser than other potions because it has greater concentration with a five-is-to- five ratios.

Next was the monster attractant potion, it releases a sweet smell that makes the monsters go crazy on smelling them. With two kilos, he made ten potions.

Last was called cure disease, he processed the ingredients called miracle herbs, it cured almost all illness and diseases. With four kilos, he has made thirteen potions. He finished everything in thirty minutes.

"Whoa, that is fast! What level are you? Are you a master?".she asked curiously.

"That's a secret, don't tell it to anyone, okay?" he said to her.

"Okay! And your fee was?" she said but she was interrupted.

"It's okay! I'm gonna collect it after a month just put it in a chest." he said to her while smiling.

"I'm gonna go now! I still have to earn money while adventuring," he said hastily.

"You're an adventurer? Wow! At a young age?" she said while surprised.

"Yeah! See you next time!" he said as he exits the door.

Kael went back to the ugly duckling inn and saw that the people there were eating.

"Hey sir eat first!" the receptionist said while waving at him.

Kael grabbed the plate and sat at the table. Their breakfast was grilled pork and a pork soup in a bowl, with a mug of orange juice.

Kael ate his breakfast and this time, no one bothered him. He thought it will be better if no one minded his presence.

He went to his room and then bathed. He changed his clothes with common wear and then wears his leather armor. He wears his robes and then put on his backpack. His backpack weights lighter than before, thanks to his skill "[Weightlessness]". After that, he wrapped his chains in his arms and strapped his steel sword on his back.

He went outside and goes to the adventurers guild. While walking, he saw other people whom he never saw before and he felt astonished. On his way, he watched the sceneries and all the key places that he recognized as landmarks. He saw trees by the road, small shops, a little marketplace, and then the statues of the heroes of Dwight. In his visit to the statues, he saw different statues of different job classes. He was walking beside the river that was located inside the city.

He walks and hops with a cheerful mood on his journey. His backpack weights like a feather and has the strength to spare to jog.

He arrived at his destination without troubles and saw the mesmerizing look of the guild headquarters. He entered the guild and saw bustling people inside. Many were at the rewards desk, some were on the quest bulletin board, and some were on the application desk.

Kael walked to the quest bulletin board and picked a quest that was based on his rank called rank-G quest.
