The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent (WN) Chapter 31

Nine months have pa.s.sed since I've been summoned.

After my lectures these past few days, I've been working hard on creating potions after so long.

I worked until it was very late.

This was because it wasn't just the 3rd Knight Order, our regular customers, who were ordering the potions; but the 2rd Knight Order as well.

To put it simply, I needed to make twice the usual amount but it wasn't a problem at all.

I made everything together. As long as I had the ingredients, this amount was nothing special.

I could make more potions per day than a potion maker could.

I also thought that it was because my basic level was high and I had a lot of MP. If so, then it's understandable that I could make a large amount of potions.

The cause of this is probably stated in my status under occupation, but I've never told anyone about this.

I will keep this to myself until the day somebody notices it.

In addition, magic manipulation existed here.

So, the time needed to make potions has been shortened.

I heard that if you mastered magic manipulation, then magic activation time would shorten; but I didn't think that it would influence potion making as well.

Does it affect everything related to magic power?

The influence of magic manipulation was vast and I thought that the Head Magician, who regarded this highly, was great.

The Director appeared while I was working diligently.

It was already late at night.

It was rare for the Director to be at the research inst.i.tute this late.

Did something happen?

"You're working very hard."

"Thank you. It's because the order is large this time."

"Is it because the 2nd Knight Order also placed an order?"

"Yes. Would they be placing more orders from now on?"

"They might. They were surprised at our potion's efficiency when they subjugated demons in the West Forest."

"Really?"

"Yes. They were especially surprised by the potions you made."

My accursed 50% increase reared its head.

Yes, I muttered in my mind.

But the 2nd Knight Order would be ordering from us now too, huh?

The income of the research inst.i.tute was increasing.

Let's try to ask for more materials for experimentation later.

There were medicinal herbs that I wanted.

It was a bit expensive so I restrained myself but now I felt that the budget would be acceptable.

Well, let's leave that aside.

We started with a harmless and inoffensive topic but he probably wanted to talk about something different.

That's what his nervous aura is telling me.

I can guess what he wanted to talk about.

It's probably that.

"A message came from the Royal Palace today. They want you to partic.i.p.ate in the next subjugation as a healer."

"You will? Director?"

"Don't be ridiculous. You will."

I thought so.

Just like I'd predicted.

My guess was so on point that I accidentally made fun of it.

"I see. I understand."

"…… You accepted that quickly."

"We've talked about this before."

"I thought that you'd be more reluctant."

I also smiled wryly at the Director, who was smiling wryly.

I thought that a request would come someday for me to act as support.

The Director wasn't the only one who had mentioned this, the Head Magician also told me the same.

A few days ago, the Head Magician said, "It'll probably be good for you to go to the West Forest soon."

I felt troubled when I was asked whether I liked or disliked going on subjugations.

It's a subjugation, so of course I'll probably encounter demons.

Although I've been to a forest before, I've never encountered any demons so I didn't know what a demon was.

However, there was no doubt in my mind that they were dangerous since I saw the devastation of the knights who came back from the West Forest subjugation.

We're going to the place.

There's no way I wasn't scared.

But the people are coming along with me this time are probably the people from the 3rd Knight Order.

They always protected us when we went to the East and South Forest together.

I've never encountered demons before but the other researchers have.

At that time, the researchers helped the Knight Order defeat the demons, but I heard later that no one suffered any unnecessary injuries because the knights moved well.

The knights will probably do the same this time around too.

I interacted with them a lot and they were all good people.

I, who could only use holy attribute magic, was a non-combatant, so I didn't think that I would suddenly be forced to face demons.

That was why although I was scared of demons, I wasn't that pessimistic about it.

And I didn't hate supporting such knights.

I was rather happy about it.

Besides, I was looking forward to going to the West Forest with the Head Magician.

He wanted to see what kind of effect my magic power would have on the miasma inside of the forest.

His sparkling eyes told me this when he told me that I could go to the West Forest.

How do I say this, he was a "man of principle".

The Head Magician wasn't the only one looking forward to this.

Even if this was a subjugation, I was looking forward to going to the West Forest.

The reason for this was the medicinal herbs.

Medicinal herbs that weren't found in the herb garden grew inside of the forest.

I saw various herbs growing in the East and South Forest as well.

Different plants grew in each forest, there were plants found in the South Forest that weren't in the East Forest.

That was why I expect that plants that don't grow in the East and South Forest, might be growing in the West Forest.

However, the demons in the West Forest were stronger than the demons in the other forests, so I don't know if I can afford to look at herbs during the subjugation.

I was the only researcher taking part in this subjugation. All the researchers who knew a lot about medicinal herbs were staying behind.

The researchers only went last time on an exception.

That was why I probably wouldn't notice it even if new plants were growing there.

I would notice if it was a herb that I saw often……

Let's learn about herbs that grow in the West Forest before I leave!

"I don't dislike it, I'm rather excited."

"Huh? Really?"

It showed on my face that I was thinking about medicinal herbs.

The Director's smile changed from a wry one to a shocked one.

"It's good that you're so enthusiastic about herbs, but you should also make potions for yourself."

"Potions for myself?"

"You need them, don't you? MP Potions."

"Now that you've mentioned it, I do."

It wasn't on my mind at all until the Director mentioned it, but I had to make potions for myself if I was going on the subjugation.

HP Potions were fine but MP Potions were essential.

Although HP and MP recovered naturally, it recovered much slower than when one drank potions.

I couldn't wait around for it to recover during emergencies.

Alright, I've finished my quota for today so why don't I make some potions for myself?

Even though it was late at night, it was still too early to finish if I compared it to the time when I was working in j.a.pan.

I was still making potions when the Director returned.
