"No problem. Just tell me the materials," Lawrend replied.
Before long, they reached the Mage Guild.
The Mage Guild of this city was quite different compared to the Mage Guild in Sheron Port City. There are a variety of mages wearing different outfits and mage pins.
They approached the receptionist's desk.
"Hello, High Mage. What can I do for you?"
A busty and beautiful female receptionist greeted the three of them.
Lawrend nudged Nao towards the front.
Nao started listing out materials that were foreign to Lawrend's ears. The receptionist looked at him in surprise.
"You're a Potion Brewer? That's very rare in the kingdom," the receptionist replied.
"Yes. My Young Master here wants me to make some for him," Nao replied.
"Alright. That will be 50,000 gold. Would you like to pay using points or gold?" the receptionist asked.
Lawrend widened his eyes in disbelief. Although he was rich, 50,000 gold is still a lot.
"How many portions is that?" Lawrend couldn't help but ask.
"That's 100 portions and the minimum amount of portions that we sell," the receptionist replied.
"Did you know about this?" Lawrend turned to Nao and asked.
"Yes. There is not a lot of demand, so the Mage Guild only sells them in bulk. After all, not every portion is even going to be successful," Nao replied.
"How powerful is that potion you're going to brew?" Lawrend asked.
"Because I'm not that good at potion brewing yet, it can only work up to Beginner and True Mages," Nao replied.
"Hmm… That's quite low."
Lawrend held his chin as he pondered about it.
"Don't worry, Young Master. I will get better soon!" Nao said determinedly.
He would do everything he could to stay as Lawrend's butler. After all, he wouldn't be anything if he lost this opportunity.
"Alright… How about tools? Do you need any?"
"Yes. I need some potion brewing tools too," Nao replied.
Lawrend rubbed his temples in worry. He couldn't help but think that this was all a mistake.
"Thank you for doing business with us," the receptionist said and bowed to Lawrend as they left the Mage Guild.
In total, they spent a total of 75,000 gold. It was a lot of money, and Lawrend used up a lot of his savings. He stared at Nao intently, contemplating whether to sell him as a slave if he was actually not good at potion brewing.
They rode a carriage again and returned to the inn.
"Master, you're back," Humility greeted him inside their room.
"Nao, do you not need a special room for potion brewing?" Lawrend asked in worry.
Although he doesn't know potion brewing, in his past life, chemistry is usually done in laboratories, where a fan sucks out the toxic fumes that the chemical reaction makes.
He guessed that the same is true for potion brewing.
"No, Young Master. Unlike the other potions, a Healing Potion doesn't need a special lab," Nao replied.
"Really?" Lawrend asked him skeptically.
It would be a huge disaster if he was wrong. This was an inn, and he would have to pay for the damages.
"Trust me, Young Master. I know what I'm doing," Nao replied.
Lawrend felt like he had heard this phrase before. This was when a scammer would try to gain his trust in his past life.
"Okay. Do your best," Lawrend replied.
He gave up and hoped for the best.
Nao started setting up the Potion Brewing Tools in the room.
He placed the huge round glass flask on a stand and several other apparatus. Then he started tinkering with them one by one.
He took one portion of the potion materials and separated them out into their individual materials. In total, there were seven materials.
Nao entered the bathroom and filled the glass flask with pure, clean water. After that, he returned and placed it on the stand.
He then lighted up the flame under the stand, which heated the water.
Nao grabbed the bundle of medicinal plant leaves and placed it in a mortar and pestle. He ground it up while he waited for the water to boil.
A dozen minutes later, the water started boiling, and Nao placed the ground leaves inside the flask. The water inside the flask immediately turned green as the leaves dissolved in it.
The next material/ingredient was a red-colored flower.
Nao plucked the petals and placed them inside the flask one by one. A few minutes later, the color of the water in the flask turned pink.
He continued mixing the ingredients together in the glass flask until the color of the liquid inside turned a transparent red color.
He turned off the flame and waited for it to cool.
"Is it done?" Lawrend asked.
He watched the whole thing, and so far, it looked like chemistry. Could it be that potion brewers are just chemists?
"Not yet," Nao replied.
Nao's hand suddenly started glowing a dark blue color, and he grabbed the round glass flask with his hand.
Using the power of the mana flowing in his hand, Nao changed the structure of the liquid.
The color suddenly changed to a deep magenta color, and the sweet and fragrant smell of the Healing Potion wafted into the air.
The process was something Lawrend couldn't understand.
Just as he was wondering what was happening, the liquid in the flask started boiling and released a lot of vapor into the air.
"What's going on??" Lawrend asked Nao worriedly.
"I'm reducing the potion. At this amount, there's too much water which would hurt the potion's efficacy," Nao explained.
"And… Done," Nao said.
He raised the flask and gave it to Lawrend.
Lawrend grabbed the flask and swished the liquid inside. It was a blood-red color and looked beautiful when the light from the window reflected inside it.
"Here, Young Master," Nao said, and a passed a small potion bottle to him.
Lawrend took it and poured the potion inside. It was the perfect amount, and he covered the opening with a cork.
"I'm impressed," Lawrend said.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"No problem. Just tell me the materials," Lawrend replied.
