Recruiting Residents

After that, we busily continued making potions. Since there were no differences in the procedure except mixing herbs, Anaria quickly adapted, and the two of us repeatedly cut Healberries and heated them.

Yeah, working together like this is quite enjoyable.

While moving my hands, I suddenly voiced a question.

“However, why were herbs mixed? Since when did such a step get added?” (Elt)

“Hmm… I guess it’s because of differences in Healberries.” (Anaria)

“Differences in Healberries?” (Elt)

Anaria picked up a Healberry that she had not cut yet and looked at it seriously in front of her face.

“Yes, the Healberries I know are smaller and paler in color. Healberries are considered better quality the larger and more colorful the berries are.” (Anaria)

“Oh, Naru also said that. He said he had never seen Healberries like these.” (Elt)

“And when the color is pale, many herbs need to be mixed. I was taught so.” (Anaria)

“I see. So, those herbs brought out the power of the Heal Berries.” (Elt)

The quality of the Heal Berries produced by my magic is uniform. I cannot produce worse Healberries than these.

But wild Healberries are different. There is a clear difference from my Healberries. Since they cannot be made into potions as they are, they mixed various things.

“Oh, by the way, what would happen if I mixed various herbs into my Healberries?” (Elt)

“Hmm… herbs are just an addition, so they probably have no effect on Elt-sama’s Healberries. I don’t think it would make a better potion.” (Anaria)

“…That’s right.” (Elt)

“But skipping steps is a great help. Wonderful knowledge… As expected of the child of a great noble.” (Anaria)

Anaria smiled gently while praising me.

When I am with her like this, she really is beautiful.

I am not used to being praised by others. But it’s not bad, and it is very encouraging. Alright, let’s make more potions.

A few days later, the number of finished potions became quite large.

Hmm, actually doing it, detailed work like potion making is fun too. Of course, I have not forgotten to produce Healerries and enhance my magical power at the same time. Compared to the beginning, the fatigue from one magic use is definitely lighter. I am properly growing as a magician.

“Nyaa~, that is an amazing amount of potions! And also so many fruits!” (Naru)

“Ah, by the way, I also tried producing fruits that might sell, like melons.” (Elt)

“Wonderful nya. They will surely sell like hotcakes nya!” (Naru)

Wood, the Treeman, was loading potions and fruits onto the cart. Wood was definitely the best suited for this kind of work. Anaria was standing beside him while doing this. Thanks to making so many potions in these past days, she was in a very good mood.

“I am satisfied enough to dream about making potions. Thanks to that, my skin is glowing…” (Anaria)

“That is not true, right?” (Elt)

“Hau.” (Anaria)

In these past days, I have become quite close with Anaria. Working together certainly brings people closer.

“Nyaa~, loading is almost finished nya. Anaria, is this all the letters for Zanzas?” (Naru)
“Ah, yes! Thank you.” (Anaria)

This time, I had Anaria write many letters. Since I gave the instructions, I know what the content is. In short, it is to promote this territory.

“If you come to Elt Nagash’s territory, houses and jobs are available now!”

“Taxes are about the same as the Labyrinth City Zanzas! But two days off a week and no overtime!”

“You have to ride this big wave!”

Those kinds of thing were written. In reality, it was tailored a bit more to each recipient, but there was not a single lie. Everyone really worked under those conditions.

“Well, now we’ll see if people come.” (Elt)

“I think they will. The Apothecary Guild is not a bad place, but right now there is no work, and there are too many useless meetings…” (Anaria)

“…That happens a lot.” (Elt)

The Apothecary Guild’s main business was making potions. They also managed materials and distribution. But recently, they had little work due to difficulty obtaining materials. Still, they could not let people be idle, so there were many meaningless meetings and paperwork.

“Since they cannot make money anyway, it’s much better to come to Elt-sama’s place.” (Anaria)

“Hmm… I also wrote letters to the Adventurer Guild. Are adventurers bored too?” (Elt)

“Because there are no potions… Healing magicians are rare, and they cannot risk entering dungeons without them.” (Anaria)

I see, that makes sense. Going into a dungeon without potions definitely increases risk. Some adventurers naturally avoid that risk. Still, potions have been in short supply, and there was nothing to be done. That is why the Adventurer Guild is also idle. Everything is connected.

“Also, this area is still untouched, and materials can be found if you look a little nya. If Elt-sama issues a notice, adventurers will surely come nya.” (Naru)

“Yes, many adventurers focus on gathering materials. If they can earn more here than in dungeons, they will happily come.” (Elt)

“Good, that area looks fine too.” (Naru)

I nodded in satisfaction.

Yes, this flow is not bad. Everything started moving from my plant magic. I can create what everyone needs.

In the letters to the Apothecary Guild, I also requested equipment and personnel support. According to Anaria, with this amount of potions, they will definitely cooperate. Anaria, the top apothecary in Zanzas, guarantees it.

“Ugo ugo… surely many people will come!” (Wood)

Oh, Wood has finally started talking. That is proof my mana is growing properly. And he said something happy.

Alright… it will surely go well. I am certain of that.
