Volume 3 - CH 37.2
Act 3-37.2: East End Development Meeting
「MY QUESTION IS, WHAT IS POTION!?」
「Eh, you don’t know about potion? Have you never seen one before?」
In that dungeon for the weak, potions were one of the trash items that gathered dust in my item box from early stages of first floor. There were also enough books to fill several hundred book stores. Though it became a common item for the current me, now that she mentioned it, I realized that I also never heard about the item called potion prior to entering that dungeon.
「Potion is an item with healing effect.」
Asta’s explanation concluded the uproar caused by Rinrin in just a moment.
「Well, as expected.」
「Yup.」
Zack and Asta nodded in unison, while Rose heaved a sigh.
And here I thought that the reason why the old me had no idea about this potion was simply because it was precious, but as it turned out, this item never existed in this world before. That’s why they couldn’t hide their shock.
『BE QUIET IN THE PRESENCE OF OUR GREAT LORD!!』
Girimekhala’s roar shook the air made everyone, except Asta-, stiffen at once. The only sound remaining was the sound of Asta sipping my special blend black tea, and it felt surreal.
「So Rinrin, can this potion be released in the general market? 」
「Forget about general market. Even I have no idea how high the price we should set for this item right now.」
Seeing her helpless expression, I knew that she wasn’t lying.
「I see. Even though this potion can potentially become our biggest source of income…」
Come to think of it, with the existence of healer, this item was a literal junk. So it might be dirt cheap item.
「How long it take to make this potion? 」
「Uhm? The manufacturing process of this low-grade potion is really simple. With division of labor composed of 300 people, you should be able to procure… around five hundred potion in one week, and double that number once the workers are used to the manufacturing process.
But, since intermediate and advanced-grade potion had more complex manufacturing process, it might take one full month to procure dozens portion. I have yet to develop its mass production plan.」
「F-Five hundreds, in one week…」
Rinrin’s aide raised a groan.
「LEAVE THE TRANSACTION AND MANUFACTURE OF THIS POTION TO OUR TAO FAMILY!!」
「Huh? But, didn’t you say that we can’t sell this item to general public?」
「Master, she only said that we absolutely cannot sell this to the general public. If we carelessly let this item that has healing effect out in general market, it will most likely become the trigger for a war because each nation would plunder each other for the stock of this potion. And you don’t want that to happen, right? 」
Upon hearing Lucas’ remark,
「It’s exactly as he said! 」
Rinrin nodded in agreement.
「Plundering nations? This low-grade potion? It can only heal scratches you know? 」
「And this will lessen the burden for healer. The healer can focus on seriously ill or critically injured patient. This item is just that useful. Lifestyle aside, it can literally reform the tactics used during war itself! 」
The girl with pointy hat, Alice, clenched her fists as she explained with excited look on her face.
Reformation of the war and lifestyle eh. This is low-grade potion you know. But I guess they were right about the fact that taking help from a healer is the most efficient way for healing someone. And the existence of this potion that could replace them for minor cases would definitely cause a huge chaos. I could literally picture the spectacle of the idiots who are blinded by their greed rushing to plunder this land.
I guess this item was unsuited to become our main source of income.
「Rinrin, you may take 15% of the profit we get from selling this potion if it sells well.」
「R-REALLY!!?」
「Yeah.」
The ingredients were tulu grass-literally grass-, water, and small amount of alcohol. We could literally procure grass and water for free, and alcohol could be purchased in bulk for cheap price from cheap liquor. Except for labor cost, there was no other additional cost for the ingredients. So we still profit a lot even if I gave them 15% of the profit.
「Alice too, let me to handle the matter of potion too!」
Upon seeing Alice nominating herself in excitement,
「Nope, I’ve another job for you and your group. If I’m not wrong, the elves in 【Lost Forest】 are skillful at magic, right?」
「Yeah, I think we’re much better than human race. 」
「Let’s skip the chit-chat then. I want you guys to build the city by using THESE.」
I took out several dozen grimoire from my item box.
「Are these… grimoire?」
Alice stood from her chair and walked with unsteady steps toward the grimoires that I placed on the table.
「Yes, this is grimoire related to earth and wood. I’ve gathered the one that can be contracted with few people. Every single one of them is advanced-grade magic, it should be enough for you to finish your job.」
According to the strength of the manifestation of miracles, otherwise known as magic, magic is divided into six grades from weakest to strongest: beginner-grade, intermediate-grade, advanced-grade, supreme-grade, legend-grade, and lastly, mythical-grade. By the way, my 【Herculean Strength】, 【Panacea】, 【Magic Clad】, and 【Divine Eye】 were originally supreme-grade of attribute-less magic, but after repeated improvement and modification in the long years I used them, I later noticed an additional [Revised] beside their name until they upgraded to mythical-grade.
And the one I gave to them this time was only fraction of mountains of advanced-grade grimoires that I owned. Anyhow, since the incompetent me wouldn’t be able to contract the grimoires, it just useless junk in my item box.
""
「…」
Alice stared silently towards the grimoires with sparkling eyes,
「I want your group to build the city in accordance to my blueprint. I’ll even give extra bonus once you completed the construction. First, most of the income from potion will be given to yo――」
「I want the grimoires…」
「Uhm?」
「And the grimoire ranked above these! That will be the payment! 」
She stood in front of me as she raised her voice till, she reached a height unthinkable for small girl like her.
「Sure, it’s deal.」
I did have collection of supreme-grade grimoire which could be contracted with several people. Let’s use this chance to take them out. I had tens of thousands of those supreme-grade grimoire after all. Losing few hundreds were cheap price.
「YEAH, YEAH, YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!」
When Alice started to do a strange dance with bitter smile on her face,
「Well then, I’ll explain the concrete development plan of the city. Clean up and listen close. 」
My plan was about to begin.
