Chapter 65: Potion Making

Chapter 65: Potion Making

~Silva POV~

[August 20, X784]

2 days have passed since I looked for a place to stay I found an area to live in a rented apartment that I know for sure won't get destroyed by property damage.

It's the one that Lucy lives renting the expensive building but it's one of the places that has been standing the longest as far as I'm aware.

Looking through my new apartment I met up with the landlady who owns the building where Lucy lives and decided to pay for it for the same price of 70,000J a month.

Pretty expensive but all the rooms look to be the same as Lucy's room and good furniture essentials in the process.

And at the very least I'm close to the Guild and shop district I could easily have access to along with having my markers at the ready.

I should be thankful to Porlyusica for giving me the skill books as I'm currently crafting my potions using Mt. Hakobe Ice as my glass keeping it cold and boosting the healing properties of the medicine.

Add the fact I have my clones using Lostvayne helps grind my skills in the process and one of those skills involves potion-making.

However, only every hour or so would I do so. When they return to me so will their experiences, I gained training my skills.

But in return

Skill List.

<Potion Creation> (Active) Lv.6/100 Exp: 7.0%

Description: The user can create potions: substances with magical properties such as enhancing physical and mental abilities, healing, granting powers, changing shape, or bewitching someone, depending on the kind of potion that is made.

Some potions come in different forms of liquid, such as jelly, stew, brew, or even soup. They can also be made into solid form, often pills, powder, candy, and possibly drugs. Potions are formed by combining materials from nature, for example, plants or parts of animals.

<Medical Mastery> (Passive) Lv.9/100 Exp: 7.0%

Description: The user, either innately or through training, is a master of medicine, enabling them to easily treat others' injuries and create medicines. One with this ability can cook up concoctions and remedies for ailments with nearly anything in one's environment. They are also able to tell which things in the wild (or in one's kitchen) are poisonous and which are safe to ingest or to use to treat injuries. This ability is not always accompanied by the ability of Healing, just the ability to discern sources of natural remedies in domestic products and the like.

Users have an intuitive mastery of all the associated medical skills and techniques granting them major leverage in any medical situation and allowing the user to easily create medicine and treat patients. Users can perfectly and without a single flaw or mistake perform any and every type of medical procedure.

Mixing in other ingredients I collected following the guide as well as entrusting my <Medical Mastery> searching the right ingredients by instinct.

For example by mixing in the water, a beat-up scale of a Lizardman, along with a red and yellow flower of the chrysanthus…

Like… this!

[Ding!]

[Using ingredients of water, chrysanthus, and decayed scale…]

[You have created Small Salve!]

Smirking at this I created about a few dozen of them along with a few Small Mana Bottles to sell to those who need it.

Plus, it pays to have a few on spare inside my Requip Ring or in Shambhala <Lost Realm> keeping my items in check saving up for when I have another method when Fairy Tail disbands for a while.

Have to make a living somehow in the future right?

Which reminds me…

Gaining 9 stats from the last 2 days and counting today I gained plenty enough to finally start investing on which ones I should place.

At least getting 50 for both LUCK and INT for the time being. I should save my remaining stats just in case I need them when the time comes.

Already having my Lacrima of the Demon equipped I should be prepared for more fights ahead.

Looking at my stats I began to modify them into the 50 marks finally obtaining the new skills needed for them.

Hmm….

[Ding!]

[Your LUCK stat has reached a 50-point mark!]

Grinning reading the descriptions I got time to check out what I obtained from those skills. After that, I should probably get back to request missions on the Guild building or I could help the Guild rebuild.

----

Interesting it seems like not only have I gained a boost to my INT but also my luck that even I can avoid minor misfortune.

I wonder how it works.

Oh, right!

I almost forgot about the blessed chest I got from the Phantom Lord quest. Considering what's going to happen…

[Ding!]

[You picked the Cursed Chest Box!]

With the Cursed Chest Box sitting on the top of my hand, I began to open it up to soon reveal itself as a ticket with a specific date in mind.

<Observe>.

----

Item: Akane Resort Ticket

Rarity Item: C

Type: Ticket

Description: A Ticket for an all days pass to the Akane Resort and luxury free of charge for the VIP who uses this item along with free expenses paid items. The date for this ticket begins on September 15, X784.

----

The ticket says on September 15, X784 on a one-way trip to the Akane Resort, and gesturing to that specific date it seems like I got my date when the Tower of Heaven activates.

Keeping the ticket safe inside my <Lost Realm> for the time being I left my apartment room to check up on the guild to find a job.

~Third POV~

*Murmur*

*Murmur*

At this current time back in the guild everyone was doing their regular activity with Lucy slumping on the table as Mirajane looked at her asking in concern, "Hm? What's got you so down, on the dumps, Lucy?"

Lucy sighs at this as she responds to Mirajane about her living issues, "I'm out of money…"

*Sniff*

Mirajane merely maintains her happy-going smile responding to Lucy in a cheerful tone, "That's not what I'd expect to hear from a rich girl."

Lucy cried out on that remark purely in self-defense as per usual of her character, "I'm not rich!!! I never received even a tiny bit of money from my family!!! Not since I cut ties with my father. Hmph!!"

Lucy places her hand under her chin as her other arm presses down on the makeshift bar table complaining about her issues, "We go out on high-paying jobs, but Natsu and Gray tear the towns apart, so we end up giving most of it back in reparations. As you can see, they're only happy when they're breaking things."

Mirajane tries to defend them as she responds to Lucy's situation in a lighthearted tone, "I don't think that's true…"

Stepping inside the guild construction grounds Silva began to look at the Request Board as Lucy cried out her living situation, "Waaaah!!! If it keeps up like this, I won't even have enough to make this month's rent!!"

Mirajane could only sigh in pity for Lucy's situation as she would've requested a job for her but her current thoughts after talking to Porlyusica flooded her mind, 'Edolas a parallel world that my sister was switched towards… then could she be in danger or worse…'

After the trip back in time learning the truth and disclosing it with only Master, Elfman, and Porlyusica Mira had multiple things occupying her mind keeping her distracted.

But that distraction soon ended as Silva came up listening into Lucy's conversation as he responded to her, "In that case how about doing a job with me on this then? Hopefully, this one would be a lot easier to handle and offers big pay as well."

Taking a look over the job request Lucy began to read over the request info with a smile appearing on her face, "OK let me see here… the Request is from Rosalie huh? Some crook is taking advantage of young ladies and we need to catch this man? Whoa!! 150,000J to get the job done!!!"

Standing up getting excited goes over to Silva agreeing to partner up for this request with an excited tone, "If we take this and split 50/50 then I would have enough to pay my rent for next month! Plus, using my seduction it would be a cinch to capture this pervert!! I'm in!"

Silva for his part just laughed nervously as he mentally commented on Lucy actions of using her sex appeal, 'Well… the info about her did say she's confident using her body to get away with something guess that was right. Plus, it has two artifacts I would personally like to have in my collection. Helps to have a variety of gear at my beck and call.'

Natsu listening in was interested in joining voicing the chance, "Hey you guys are going on a job then – Ack!"

Before he could get the chance Erza managed to grab Natsu by the collar as she replied in a determined tone closing her eyes, "Have no fear fellow teammates!! I'll be sure to keep Natsu in – Huh?"

However, when she opened her eyes the two suddenly vanished as Mirajane explained in a cheerful tone with the Natsu group feeling confused, "Sorry but Silva already took Lucy to Crocus by teleporting. It seems like they were excited when the job came, they completely forgot about you guys."

Erza looked surprised at that moment as Gray shook his head already understanding Silva's actions before returning his attention to the game, "So... want to go another round fire breath?"

Natsu immediately challenged Gray's words and accepted another round, "Oh you're on! Prepare to lose Gray!!"

Like that, the atmosphere returned to normal with Erza shrugging taking the chance to enjoy her strawberry cake in peace before helping rebuild the guild.
