The preparation method of the potion presented by the elf is not complicated, even less difficult than the [Witch's Kiss] made by Jenkins, but the ingredients are not easy to find.
The eaux-de-vie among them has been purchased by Mr. Hood for a long time. This is the holy water that can only be made by the Church of All Things and Nature, and it has a certain healing effect.
But Jenkins is the benefactor of the Orthodox Church, and the Nolan Diocese should have stored some.
Elven wood and tindermint are easy to find. Jenkins has seen it more than once in the black market in Nolan City, but their prices are very expensive. The former is only produced in the southern tip of the mainland, in the uninhabited rainforest under the jurisdiction of the Cheslan Kingdom, while the latter is a unique plant near the active volcano in the outer sea.
These two materials are not difficult to find, but Jenkins loves his wallet.
As for the unicorn's fur, it's fine, Jenkins just doesn't know if his one is old enough; and Muxin is the core part of the trunk of an ancient tree, Jenkins has never seen one that is more than a thousand years old, and he thinks that even if it is Even if you see it, you may not be able to afford it.
As for the last unmelting ice, it is a material that can only be produced under the ice cap in the extreme north, and it is almost a necessary item for holding all high-intensity frost rituals. This kind of ice is very rare, at least no one in Nolan has ever sold it.
"But this is Loen City, and the Kingdom of Hampavo is the largest producer of this material."
Thinking of this, he coughed violently, indicating that Miss Miller and Miss Stuart could turn around now.
"Does this mirror work?"
Miss Stuart blinked and asked curiously.
At the age of sixteen, she is still at the most innocent age, and her curious face is more lovable than the well-dressed ladies.
"It worked, thank you very much."
After speaking, he handed the mirror back to Julia, and Julia put it back in her small bag.
"I thought it would be something private, but I didn't expect my friend to give me a potion formula. It's a pity, he didn't explain the effect of this potion, but I plan to mix it up and have a try."
Seeing that the cat on his shoulder was still poking his head, he stretched out the note to it. It stretched its head slightly and sniffed it with its nose, then pushed it aside with its paws, and then returned to the softest carpet in front of the fireplace and lay down again.
"Mr. Williams, do you know how to prepare potions?"
This time it was Julia who asked the question, and she rarely participated in the conversation between the three.
As for Miss Miller, she didn't show any surprise. After all, she was the one who found the sales channel for Witch's Kiss for Jenkins.
"Yes, but not proficient."
Jenkins nodded and agreed with his own words, "If it is a simple potion formula with detailed production steps, I think it should be no problem to make it. Why, does Miss Minnevik need my help to configure the potion? I am willing to help."
"No, I'm just surprised. After all, a pharmacist is a rarer profession than a healer."
Julia shook her head slightly, but looked at her princess again.
Jenkins then entrusted Miss Stuart to help him acquire some unmelting ice. The third princess immediately said that she had reserved some herself and could sell them to Jenkins cheaply.
She originally wanted to send it directly, but was opposed by both Jenkins and Julia.
"I think the price of these materials far exceeds the value of our friendship. I don't want our friendship to be broken because of these materials."
While saying this, he suddenly realized that another woman had said similar things to him not long ago.
Miss Miller smiled and said nothing. She had always known that Jenkins and she were essentially the same kind of person.
Jenkins has no cash in Loen City, but the plants that he brought out from the strange place last time are still with Miss Miller. He and Miss Stuart adopted the method of bartering. Jenkins traded all the plants including the pot of non-freezing flowers, and Miss Stuart will provide him with non-melting ice next week. , Elf wood, tindermint three materials.
This means that half of the ingredients of the unknown potion are enough, which doesn't seem difficult.
Miss Miller temporarily acted as Julia's rune teacher for the remainder of the evening, while Miss Stuart continued tutoring in etiquette for Jenkins.
She kept inquiring about Jenkins' life without a trace, and made an excuse to make a more reasonable study plan for his daily life. Jenkins thought she was right. After all, there were some etiquette habits that he might never have the chance to use in his life.
In his spare time, Jenkins also asked about the auction scam that Miss Stuart encountered a few weeks ago. She vaguely stated that she had new clues and was continuing the investigation. But while the third princess left the room to change into a suitable dress, Julia worriedly said to Jenkins and Miss Miller:
"That matter should be related to the eldest prince Sallot Stuart, yes, the one that Miss Miller met when she went to the palace last week. But Your Highness does not want to worry you, and she forbids me to reveal this thing."
The firewood crackled in the fireplace, drawing the shadows of the three into the distance. This was completely unexpected to Jenkins, who thought it was just an accidental incident.
But instinct told Jenkins that there was a good chance Miss Miller could do something about it. Therefore, after the princess and his servant got up to leave, he spared a large circle before pointing out tactfully:
"I hope that you can protect our friends a little while getting closer. This is not difficult for you."
"Of course, Jenkins, I hope you don't think me a bad woman."
There was a tone of reproach in the words.
Jenkins shook his head apologetically, and did not continue the topic.
According to Miss Miller's current investigation, in fact, the current situation facing the Kingdom of Hampavo is not much better than that of the Kingdom of Fidiktli.
Although there are many descendants of the royal family in this country, in Miss Miller's view, most of them are like kings of subjugation. She thought that Miss Dolores Stuart's talent was the best among her brothers and sisters, but it was a pity that the third princess had no interest in the crown.
"So, you can be sure now that the person who cheated at the last auction was that Mr. Sallot Stuart?"
"Yes, the evidence is abundant. Although His Royal Highness acts cautiously, it is a pity that he does not have the talent to choose followers. In my opinion, he is far inferior to his sister in terms of character, talent, or other aspects. I will always pay attention to this matter, and I can guarantee that our friends will not encounter any accidents."
