Who taught him to restore the country like this?

Tallulah's neck turned backwards little by little like the gears of a pendulum.

"What do you say?"

The wizard hat on her head was taken off, and a ruthless hand pressed directly on her head.

"It hurts, it hurts... I surrender, I surrender."

"I was asked to guard the barrier, but you left five times in three days. Now the Magic Association has complained to me again. Have you figured out how to atone for your sins with your death?"

The woman in the white wizard robe rested her head on Tallulah's shoulder, presenting her delicate and pretty face, which was somewhat similar to Tallulah's, to Ron.

She had a smile on her face and her voice was soft and gentle.

"That's not the case, Sister. I'm not playing around this time. I'm just... just temporarily receiving an important visitor! This teacher Gatling is a great wizard proficient in sixth-level life magic. I'm here for the academy..."

Tallulah reached out to Ron for help.

Ron smiled slightly and took a step back.

"Hey…"

The next second, Tallulah was grabbed by the scruff of the neck by the woman in white robe and dragged away.

"Wait, Onee-sama, I haven't finished meeting with Teacher Gatling yet, please wait for me..."

"...Mr. Gatlin, I'll prepare everything you want. Remember to come visit the Arcane Academy... Ah, it hurts..."

Tallulah's voice came from far away.

Ron responded with a symbolic wave and continued walking forward.

The Magic City is built in a circular shape around the Demon Altar, which is the place where the God of Magic is rumored to have fallen. The internal structure is roughly divided into three rings.

The central area closest to the Demon Altar, the first ring, is the area belonging to the Grey House and the White House, which have many magicians.

The second ring is the area belonging to other colleges and princes and nobles of various countries.

The third ring is the trading and residential area for outsiders.

This place is not disturbed by power disputes and has complete resources. Many alchemists who like quietness will settle here and open pharmacies.

Ron's target was very clear, a shop called Secret Nightmare Pharmacy.

The store is not large, and the products sold are not very complete, but the high-level magic potions it sells are all made by the owner himself.

The reason why Ron came to this place was because there was a side quest available. As long as he paid a little information, he could get the medicine for free.

Furthermore, the owner of this pharmacy never makes medicine for outsiders, so he doesn't need to queue up if you want him to make medicine.

Nature is the first choice.

however…

When Ron arrived at the Secret Nightmare Pharmacy and told the apprentice who was watching over the shop his purpose, the apprentice told him that the boss had just left the Magic City yesterday.

He came at the wrong time.

There is nothing we can do about it.

Small things like this are impossible to predict even if he is a player who has played the game once.

Ron felt a little regretful.

"When will she be back?"

Ron asked before saying goodbye.

"I don't know either. Something seems to have happened in Teacher Fiona's tribe. It will probably take a few days for her to come back."

The apprentice who was watching over the shop responded.

Return to the tribe at this time?

Ron was a little surprised.

The owner of the Secret Nightmare Pharmacy is a dark elf who was driven out of her tribe. Before the player triggers the side quest, she probably won't return to the heartbroken tribe.

Is this another butterfly effect caused by the restoration of the Kingdom of Rah?

Or... is it just an excuse to put off the people who come to visit?

Ron thought about leaving the Nightmare Pharmacy.

Go to the next pharmacy.

Chapter 95 Come Live at My House

The magical city.

"Sorry, my master has gone to the White Demon Academy to teach and will be unavailable for the time being. Please find another alchemist."

After leaving the Secret Nightmare Pharmacy, Ron visited several alchemists who did not operate shops, and received similar responses.

Go find those chambers of commerce, if you have money you can make an appointment with a pharmacist.

The problem is that you have to wait in line.

After all, it is the city of magic, and there is a great demand for high-level potions.

He went around in circles and found that the earliest appointment he could get was a week later.

Sitting on the bench by the lake, Ron was a little puzzled.

Alchemists are generally weak and cannot gain any advantages in the magic festival. Why do the White Demon Academy and the Gray Demon Academy go to so much trouble to recruit so many high-level alchemists?

For show?

Or is it to make things difficult for me?

A development that had not occurred in the game disrupted Ron's schedule.

The situation in the Thorn Territory did not allow him to stay in the Magic City for too long. He could only wait in the Magic City for three days at most to see if he could wait for the owner of the Secret Nightmare Pharmacy to come back. If he couldn't, he would have to retreat to the Thorn Territory first.

It must be said that alchemists are really popular.

You can consider training an alchemist yourself. This is not only convenient, but you don’t have to worry about the prescriptions and small moves being exposed.

However, it is too troublesome to train an alchemist from scratch, and it is not convenient for him to keep him around to cultivate loyalty.

It would be even better if I could have my own alchemy skills and loyalty...

Ron looked up at the honey-colored sky. The wind blew across the collar of his slightly open shirt, bringing with it the scent of grass and earth.

The dusk in the Magic City is a feast of light and illusion.

The sunset glow on the horizon was dyed into strange and gorgeous colors by magic, indigo and crimson purple intertwined, with floating islands soaked in twilight floating in the middle, looming in the sea of ​​clouds.

A flock of birds returning to their nests in the distance cast tiny shadows on the water, which flickered across Ron's half-closed eyelids.

At this moment, a brief flicker of light and shadow appeared on his face.

Someone sat down next to him.

Then a hand holding cheese ice cream reached out.

Ron turned his head slightly to look.

A young girl wearing a wizard hat and with a youthful and energetic face grinned at him.

"You escaped from prison again?"

Ron sat up straight, took the ice cream handed to him, and asked curiously.

"I've been released from prison."

Tallulah licked the ice cream in her hand and answered proudly.

"Congratulations."

Ron took a bite of the ice cream in his hand. The ice cream from another world without chemical additives tasted weird.

"Mr. Gatlin, you don't look very happy shopping today. Don't worry, I'll go shopping with you tomorrow. I know where the fun spots are, and I guarantee you'll have fun."

Tallulah patted her chest.

After producing evidence to prove that Ron was indeed a sixth-level wizard, her elder sister cancelled her punishment and gave her a few days off, allowing her to continue pestering Ron and make sure to get him into the Arcane Academy.

"Mr. Gatlin, do you have a place to stay tonight?"

"No."

"Then come live at my house."

Tallulah stood up and invited with a smile.

Ron wanted to refuse, but then he thought: There should be high-level alchemists in the Arcane Academy, right?

……

At Tallulah's invitation, Ron came to visit Tallulah's home - the Arcane Academy.

The Arcane Academy is located in the second ring of the Magic City, in the suburbs behind the White Magic Academy.

Walking out of the jungle on the edge of the Third Ring Road, you can see the towering wizard tower of the Arcane Academy and the magnificent castle-like buildings from afar.

When you arrive at the gate of the Arcane Academy, you can see a magic detection gate. Only those who have entered magic information or hold the Arcane Academy badge can enter.

Tallulah directly used her badge privileges to enter magic information for Ron.

Entering the Arcane Academy and passing through the long corridor, the view becomes wider and the buildings become more diverse as you see the castle-like teaching building.

There are white wizard towers and black wizard castles.

The so-called arcane is the integration of multiple academic disciplines.

Judging from the performance of the Arcane Academy in the game, it should be called the Alchemy Academy.

"Good night, Mr. Gatlin."

It was late and inconvenient for a visit. After arranging a room for Ron, Tallulah waved goodbye and left.

Ron stood at the door of the room, watching the girl skip and disappear around the corner of the corridor, then pushed the door open and walked in.

The room was decorated simply and elegantly, with several magic lamps emitting soft light suspended on the walls.

Ron lay on the bed and picked up the "Basic Principles of Arcane Magic" placed on the bedside and started reading.
