"Jayna, disperse your shadow guard." said Angus.
Jayna immediately tapped her foot and her shadow was moving away from them. Looking at this, Master Valeron also dispersed his shadow guard to wait outside the library.
Then, Angus gives the alchemy equation he just wrote to Master Valeron. after looking at the equation for a while, "So, how is it?" asked Angus.
"Hmm… this is a really interesting formula. It seems I already see this familiar equation from somewhere? Kid, what is the potion you are trying to make?" said Master Valeron as he was still trying to remember something.
"You already know about this before? Well, this is actually the main ingredient equation for a Miasma curing potion." explained Angus.
Hearing this, Master Valeron looked at Angus with a shocked expression. It seems like his brain is short-circuited. Jayna is also surprised that Angus's potion is a Miasma curing potion.
After a moment, "So, it's a worthy right, for being a soul bonded contract."
Hearing this, Master Valeron wakes up from his stupor, "Kid, did you really manage to find an ingredient with this equation?" asked Master Valeron
"Err.. yeah, is there anything wrong?" asked Angus back.
"Is there anything wrong?? Are you out of your mind?? If what you said is true, you just achieve what everyone has been trying to make for hundreds of years. This will be another breakthrough. No.. This will be a miracle work." said Master Valeron furiously.
'Actually, I am not the one that found the main ingredient but they don't need to know about this. Besides, I don't want to reveal Archmage Bern Legacy.' thought Angus.
After calming down his mood, "Ahh.. I am sorry. I am too excited about this kind of discovery. Anyway, from your equation I found that your ingredient is not stable yet. So, you must search for a complimentary ingredient for these main ingredients." said Master Valeron.
"Yes, Master Valeron. Did you happen to know what ingredient may be compatible with this equation?" said Angus.
"About that, how about a little trip with me, Master Agnus?" asked Master Valeron.
"Master… I am too young for such a title. Just call me Angus or young master Victory like everyone." said Angus.
"Alright, if you say so." replied Master Valeron.
After that, they decide to schedule a meeting with Master Valeron at a later date since Jayna needs to continue her training. Besides that, Master Valeron also needs to prepare some ingredients that may be compatible according to the equation.
Apparently, Heart Kingdom also has its own research about Miasma Curing Potion. Like any other nation, this project didn't have any major development since they still didn't find the main ingredient for the potion.
Still, after years of research and calculation, they managed to find an equation for the main ingredient and many other ingredients that may complement it. This is the reason why Master Valeron finds Angus's equation familiar.
Even though they already found the equation, no one could determine what ingredient holds such structure till now. Each ingredient will have a lot of possibility of equation structure after being processed which makes the people unable to find the right ingredient.
To prevent any leakage of the information, Master Valeron tells Angus to keep the main ingredient to himself until their next meeting. The fewer people know about this matter the better.
Although Master Valeron already signed a non-disclosure soul-bound contract, it is still better to have precaution. Besides, as researcher Master Valeron thought that everything is possible in this world. So, breaking the non-disclosure contract is also possible.
As the head of the research department, Master Valeron's reputation is already famous in other nations compared to Angus. So, in case he gets abducted, he will not spill any information as long as he didn't know about the information from the start.
Agreeing with Master Valeron's suggestion, Angus held the information about the main ingredient to himself. After scheduling their next meeting, they part away.
"Angus, I never knew you would create that kind of potion. You truly care for others despite your cold attitude to everyone." said Jayna as they walked back to the training ground.
"You got it wrong, Jayna. I only create this for my convenience." said Angus.
"Huh?? What do you mean?" asked Jayna.
"Currently, the only person that could heal the miasma wound is me. If I am not creating this kind of potion. Sooner or later, I will be forced to work to death just by medicating other people. All I want is just having a peaceful life." said Angus.
"*Giggle* Angus, that's so like you. But, indeed, the medical path is not suitable for you." said Jayna.
"Hmm.. Then, which path is suitable for me?" asked Angus curiously.
"Of course, you are more combat-oriented. Although you always avoid having battles, when you spar with old man Balrug, your true nature is coming out. I even thought at that time if it was you or not." explained Jayna.
"Really?? Well, I kind of loosen up a little bit when fighting against old man Balrug." said Angus.
Soon, both of them go back to the training ground and Jayna continues her training. Unlike before where Angus guided her with only words, now Angus participates in Jayna's training.
Since his alchemy project is being halted until he meets Master Valeron, Angus decides to move his body a little bit and join Jayna training.
The training is simple, Jayna is needed to touch Angus while trying to change her fighting pattern.
Time passed quickly and a few days passed by. Now, Angus goes towards a very heavily guarded secluded research center to meet with Master Valeron. He managed to ditch his mom to Vergil.
After back from the Royal Palace, Angus got teased by his mother every moment especially when she asked about Jayna. Fortunately, Vergil has already come back from his exam. So, Angus could finish his unfinished business without being interrupted by his mother.
Entering the research center, Angus got welcomed by Master Valeron himself the moment he got out of his carriage.
The research center is very huge and vast. Inside the research center, there are various kinds of experiments going on. From new spells, skills, to new runes and enchantment. There are even research about various kinds of disease.
After walking through a long steeled tunnel, they arrive at the Alchemy section. Angus found himself in a white-colored room that looked clean and neat. It reminds him of some lab from his past life on Earth.
Soon, both of them begin to move towards the alchemy workstation. To prevent any leak of information, Angus only brings his processed Elephant Grass solution which he put inside of the special vials.
The vial itself is made of and enchanted with various kinds of preservation enchantment. Angus got this vial from Master Valeron himself after telling the old man he couldn't bring or contain the main ingredient solution.
Looking at the green-colored solution, "So, this is the legendary main ingredient that could save a lot of people." said Master Valeron.
"Yes, did you want to know about the ingredient?" asked Angus.
"Although I am truly curious about it, it's better for me to know about it for now. Anyway, let's not waste any more time and start." said Master Valeron.
After taking out a couple of vials with Elephant Grass solution, Angus and Valeron begin to work on it to find any compatible ingredient.
Unlike his previous workstation, the current workstation inside the research center is equipped with various kinds of detection tools to help analyze and work with the current material.
After working for a few hours, both of them took a break as they still didn't find the right combination for ingredients. To prevent any information leakage, only Angus and Master Valeron himself do the job.
Angus also put a requirement that the ingredient must be easy to be found and not something rare. This increases the difficulty of searching for the right ingredient but it also narrows down their ingredient choice.
While continuing to work together, Master Valeron becomes impressed with the teenager as he manages to keep up with him. Angus himself didn't mind it and kept focusing on his solution.
Using the high-tech equipment and workstation, Angus managed to work more faster and efficiently than working on his own.
The high-tech equipment helps him to diagnose and see the reaction of each ingredient with great precision. Angus is quite envious of this kind of advanced technology.
At first, he thought to get this kind of equipment for himself, but hearing that it is almost like an artifact for a single piece of equipment, Angus decided to forget about this matter.
After experimenting for another hour, "Haa.. Now, we only need to search for other cold-type ingredients to suppress it." said Master Valeron.
"Yes... however, we need to find the one with a fast reaction before it damages the solution," said Angus.
"That means cold and fast.. Hmm.. A troublesome ingredient." muttered Master Valeron.
"Alright, let's take another break. Anyway, can I borrow the equipment here for my own project." asked Angus.
"Of course, I don't mind it." said Master Valeron while still thinking of any possible ingredient that will match with the solution.
'Alright this way, I could create my own poison faster. it needs to strike fast.. Wait.. Fast.. Poison??" thought Angus.
