◈ Episode 165 New Medicine (2)
At first, when Rudger boldly mixed all the ingredients together, the feelings of those around him were astonishment.
‘You just use it whole without refining it? Did I go crazy?’
The teaching assistant, who was watching to prepare for any unexpected situation, seriously contemplated whether or not to stop it.
Then, the moment he awkwardly removed his butt from the chair, the assistant had no choice but to stop. Because Rudger did something more.
‘That’s the polytan sap that I crushed and made into juice earlier?’
Ludgar mixed all the magical herbs together and poured the Politan sap into it.
Then an amazing thing happened.
‘The poison in the magic plant… … Are you falling in?’
The round mass of magical weeds was submerged under the sap, and the poison of the magical weeds floated above the surface of the sap.
It completely separated the toxicity, which can be said to be the biggest danger of magic candles.
‘I knew that the leaf of Politan had a detoxifying effect, but what the hell… … .’
There’s no way you could have such an effect simply with sap.
It must have been some other magical treatment.
‘Did that material have that effect?’
Rudger placed dried leaves on top of the sap. Then, the poison floating on the surface was absorbed into the leaves.
Green leaves turned black.
After removing all the poison, Ludger took out the clumps of magical weed with sterilized tongs and placed them in a large bottle.
The entire process was as natural as flowing water.
Chris Venimore watched the scene as if possessed.
Be pierced while forgetting even the fact that you are secretly watching.
‘What the hell. What do you mean by that method?’
What Rudger had done was a sight that Chris, who had knowledge of pharmacology, could not understand.
He used as many as 10 high-grade materials, herbs, and magical herbs that were difficult to handle alone.
‘It’s definitely right to fail.’
It’s better to just fail.
If the magic contained in that herb were to work in the wrong direction, it would have caused an explosion in the apothecary, not alchemy.
But the feared thing did not happen.
There was nothing to be aware of.
Does that mean that Rudger successfully made a medicine out of those innumerable herbs?
‘No way. Obviously, nothing dangerous happened, but it is unknown whether it is effective as a medicine.’
Just in time, Ludger finished the tableting of the refined pills and made the perfect medicine.
Chris glared at the pills.
It was to see what the surface of the drug was like.
Properly made tablets have a smooth and even surface, but in the case of failed tablets, the surface is mostly bumpy or cracked.
But Rudger’s pills were neat enough to be called perfect.
‘Succeeded?’
Did you make it properly with such dangerous ingredients?
In addition, as if at a glance it proves that it is not an ordinary medicine, the light of magical power was subtly hovering inside the translucent pill.
Chris, who was about to ask how he made it, managed to hold back.
My pride wouldn’t allow it.
‘Come to think of it, the pills that human was taking were not sold in the market.’
Could it be that the pills were all made by himself?
You made your own medicine from scratch?
“What is this?”
An assistant who couldn’t hold back his curiosity approached and asked.
The same was true of graduate students and graduate students who were quietly immersed in research around them.
They waited for Rudger to answer.
“It is an item for restoring mana.”
“It’s a magic recovery potion. Can I check it out?”
“Arthur.”
The assistant, who immediately tried to find out the state of the magic potion, had no choice but to stop at Ludger’s dissuade.
“If you try to use it carelessly, your magic power will go out of control.”
“Yes, yes?”
“It is an item that does not consider any other effects in order to only restore magical power. It only removed fatal poisons from the human body.”
If an ordinary wizard eats it, the mana runaway will happen.
Even if you eat it after all your mana is depleted, you won’t be able to withstand the overflowing power.
Hearing the warning, the teaching assistant looked disbelief at Ludger’s words.
It is true that dangerous magical herbs were mixed, but I was complacent about how long it would be if it were still effective.
It was then that Chris, who was watching the situation, stepped out.
“The man is right.”
“Hey, Ms. Chris Benimore?”
Because Chris often visits this place, he and his assistant were familiar with each other.
The assistant seemed quite perplexed, perhaps not knowing that Chris Vennimore would stand up for Ludger.
“Even if you estimate it only with the ingredients that went in, it would be enough to break a body that has run out of mana without being able to fill it with mana. If you do something wrong, the whole body’s magical nervous system will burn out.”
“You saw it right.”
“joy. You can tell that at a glance. And what a dangerous pill it is.”
Even if the loss rate of the ingredients in the medicine approaches 80% or more, the remaining 20% is enough to destroy a person.

effectiveness, risk, efficiency.
An extreme drug that maximizes only one [effect] out of the three factors to pay attention to when manufacturing medicine and discards the other two.
Even if miasma is removed, it is more dangerous than poison.
Rudger’s medicine is like that.
“Are you thinking of committing suicide?”
“Otherwise, we wouldn’t have made so many.”
“Then what? You really made it for use?”
“Is there any reason not to?”
Rudger’s eyes staring at him gave Chris a strange feeling.
All his actions, his tone, even his tone.
He did not appear to be merely a bluff.
‘Are you serious?’
The fact that he usually suffers from a lack of magic was known because he accidentally discovered that he was taking medicine at the banquet hall that day.
I don’t know if it was a chronic illness or something else, but Rudger didn’t really try to hide it anymore.
It’s all over the place anyway, so there’s no need for that.
‘Even so, it can’t be normal to use drugs to that extent.’
It’s not just a level of mana runaway.
If even a high-ranking wizard eats it, the mana will overflow from the inside of the body.
No matter how much Seorn’s teacher was, there was no way he could fully absorb the effect of that medicine.
‘Or, the amount of mana released is so high that it makes no sense.’
If magic power is the water contained in the water tank, the amount of discharge is the passage through which that water is extracted.
Of course, the number one requirement for a wizard is the amount of mana.
If you don’t have enough mana, you won’t be able to properly use the magic you want to use.
But the second most important thing is, of course, emissions.
If you have a lot of mana but low emission, it’s like you can’t use that vast amount of mana properly.
If only one gourd of water can be pumped out of a vast dam at one time, that amount of water is virtually meaningless.
Even if you have a lot of mana, if the emission is not enough, you will have a problem as a mage.
However, if you have at least a lot of mana, you can play your role as a wizard.
It’s because a person who can use 3 each with 5 mana is better as a wizard than someone who has 10 mana and uses 1 each.
‘But a normal wizard, no matter how high the emission is, less than 10% of their maximum mana.’
However, since the amount of emission can be increased through training like human muscles, a skilled wizard can increase the output.
Even taking all of that into consideration, it is difficult to exceed 20% of the emission.
Occasionally, there are people who exceed 30% in unusual cases, but such cases are few and far between.
‘That guy can do that? It can’t be.’
However, I realized while watching the sparring that Ludger’s mana emission was considerably higher than the others.
I don’t know what kind of chronic illness he has, but I also know that mana is always in short supply.
that one though.
That drug is way too much.
“assistant. I think the verification is over, but do you still have questions?”
“Oh, no.”
The assistant went back to his seat, probably realizing that he couldn’t ask Rudger any more.
However, I couldn’t completely suppress my curiosity, so I kept glancing at you.
Chris glanced at the people around him and said so only Rudger could hear.
“Is it because of a chronic disease that I have to take medicine constantly?”
Ludger, who put the pills he made into a suitable medicine chest, looked at Chris with a gaze asking what he was talking about.
“Having to continuously recover mana means that mana is being consumed in real time. I have never heard of such a disease.”
“You must have never heard of it.”
In the first place, this was a constitutional problem rather than a chronic disease.
so i don’t know
“It is more surprising than that. Teacher Chris is curious about something like this.”
“What do you mean by surprise?”
“Didn’t you try your best in Dalian by aiming for this part in the first place?”
“… … .”
At Rudger’s point, Chris was at a loss for words.
“Are you even sympathetic now?”
“… … I know you won’t believe it anyway. But let me tell you in advance, it was Vice-Chancellor Hugo who made that suggestion first.”
It was Chris who informed Hugo that Ludger was taking drugs.
But Chris never thought that he would sneak into the teachers’ office and steal the medicine.
Chris, proud of being an aristocrat, didn’t like that very much.
“Whoa. know. In the end, it will all be excuses.”
I never thought Hugo would have Debian do something like that.
Maybe it was the problem of letting him know Ludger’s weakness, causing Hugo’s eyes to roll.
“I won’t say I’m not at fault. Even if it wasn’t my intention, I did something unnoble.”
Chris readily admitted his mistake.
There is a realization that I did something wrong.
Even if it’s something to be ashamed of.
To be honest.
He still hated Rudgar.
At first, it was anger at the fact that the specialization he was supposed to teach was taken away.
The fallen aristocrat threatened his position, and it felt like a big threat to Chris, who was already sensitive to his family status.
A cheeky downfall aristocrat.
Rudger’s evaluation was just that.
But after seeing Rudger, my thoughts changed.
Ludger, a fallen nobleman, rejected Hugo’s offer without clinging to his family.
It was the opposite of himself who tried to protect the prestige of the family by increasing connections with the nobles.
He invented new magic and taught it to his students.
It was the opposite of himself, who never wanted to reveal his family secrets.
When the students were in danger during the werewolf incident, he took the initiative to deal with it.
Hugo’s assertion that the culprit was a student was the exact opposite of himself, who had been deceived.
Rudger seemed to be the opposite of everything.
Every single action he took touched Chris’s stomach.
I didn’t want to admit it, but I had to admit it.
That she was unseemly jealous of this man.
“Take it.”
Couldn’t get the words out of his mouth, so Chris threw a reagent bottle at Rudger and handed it to him.
Ludger, lightly grabbing the vial in mid-air, looked at it, asking what it was.
“This is our family’s special mana tranquilizer. If you take the whole pill, you will get sick, so it would be better if you take it together.”
Chris, who was saying that, clicked his tongue as if he was embarrassed for nothing.
“Are you really giving it to me?”
“Then, are there any fake ones?”
“I didn’t see you as someone who gave so easily.”
“… … Are you going to fight now?”
“It is pure admiration.”
“joy. Whatever the case may be, I am the Bennimore family.”
The Bennimore family has been making drugs since ancient times.
medicine to heal people, medicine to cure disease.
Even if it was behind the times, what they hoped for was devotion for people.
That was the reason Chris readily gave the drug to Rudger.
No matter how jealous and hateful he is, if that person is sick, he will gladly give you medicine.
“Let me tell you, I haven’t acknowledged you yet. But I’m not the type to let people do crazy things like that.”
Rudgar stared at Chris with a look of surprise.
He knew how precious the medicine Chris had given him.
‘Magic stabilizers are expensive and precious.’
It is a medicine that is close to a cure that helps magicians who are suffering from mana runaway put out an urgent fire.
It’s not for ordinary people to eat, it’s only for wizards, so the ingredients that go into it are different and that much expensive.
But Chris Benimore readily handed it over.
I said smugly that I could just give you this much, but obviously, spending is spending.
‘At least he wasn’t an aristocrat who was only proud of himself.’
Even so, of course, the image of Chris Benimore was still that of an unlucky aristocrat.
but.
At least he seemed a little more like a real nobleman than the other talkative nobles.
“Since you gave it to me, it wouldn’t be polite to refuse it. I will write well.”
As Ludger carefully took care of the bottle, Chris laughed and snorted, but didn’t say much.
Still, he seemed to be satisfied with the fact that he wrote well.
The business is over. The moment Chris was about to make his own medicine, he couldn’t help but question Ludger’s sudden action.
“What are you doing?”
Rudger was drying the leaves that had sucked in the miasma of the magic plant and crushing them into small pieces.
And after collecting the crushed powder, isn’t it carefully sweeping it away?
“Isn’t it a waste to throw it away?”
Chris was at a loss for words when he saw Ludger reply in a dry tone.
“Do you know how dangerous that is?”
“I know.”
“what?”
“And in fact, this is real.”
“… … .”
Rudger was planning to use the poison from that mass of magic weed instead of throwing it away.
For the first time, Chris felt anything other than annoyance towards Rudger.
It was pure wonder.
