Chapter 435 New Drug
Alchemy is like cooking.
Once François accepted this, his aversion to alchemy was no longer as intense as before.
However, he preferred to learn cooking.
Before leaving the city gate, I was in the alleys.
After a close encounter with Jennifer, she offered to teach François how to make curry.
Jennifer said it was a Swabawa specialty, and that she was one-eighth Swabawa, whose ancestors came to the Commonwealth to pursue their education.
After that, he settled in the Union and obtained Union citizenship.
Indeed, Jennifer's skin tone was a bit darker.
In François's view, Jennifer was a complete Federalist in both her language and behavior.
Perhaps in places unseen by others, their family still retains some Swabawa traditions.
And the Swabawa food she knows might be part of that.
François was curious about the exotic cuisine, even though it might not suit the tastes of his master, the Duke of Cassius.
However, François could extract the best aspects and modify them into food that better suited the tastes of the kingdom's people.
Nevertheless, François was well aware that even within the kingdom, there were significant differences in diet between different regions.
In Griffith Grassland, beef and mutton are a staple food for the locals.
In the Forest of Capello, there is a custom of eating raw bear meat.
On the Shoe Insole Peninsula, everything needs a touch of cheese, while on the Blois Peninsula, people love Golden Grape Juice and Jam.
In the Twin River basin, the variety of freshwater fish is sure to impress any outsider.
In addition, there are highland peas, basin licorice, canyon mineral fruits, and desert jujubes—
Almost every region has its own unique local cuisine.
François felt that it would take a great deal of effort just to master the cuisines of the entire kingdom.
Moreover, what if we expand the scope to the whole world?
However, as a chef, François shouldn't be troubled by learning new dishes.
In any case, cooking is much more fun than alchemy.
In fact, alchemy is no less difficult than cooking.
François also seems to have a talent for alchemy.
These days, Rand has asked to make many attempts at alchemy, and he has been doing a very good job.
Of course, François also knew that the two should focus on the tasks assigned to them by the parliament.
It appears that an academic theft is taking place in Parliament City, and the two of them need to provide technical support for the investigation.
In fact, François, a chef, knew very little about what "academic" meant.
According to his understanding, it was just that a few design drawings were stolen.
The council has already set clear requirements for alchemical medicines; the two of them simply need to refine the medicines according to those requirements.
Mr. Rand failed in his first few attempts.
François also made several attempts to avoid being criticized, but they were not very successful.
François understood that as long as this matter remained unresolved, this tension would continue to linger between the two of them.
François also sensed that they were being monitored. Hmm, it seemed the council desperately needed the two of them to provide an effective alchemical elixir.
There was no other way but forcing himself to put in the effort in this regard.
To be honest, François doesn't have much autonomy; from childhood to adulthood, he's always been driven by others to do things.
Just like when he came to the Far East, he was forcibly put into Miss Sophia's ship by Mr. Mosley.
This is why François, once whipped, can accomplish something with extremely high efficiency.
These days, whenever François has free time, he reads the book "Elementary Alchemy" that Mr. Mosley gave him.
But the book was so thick that François's reading progress didn't actually increase much.
However, François found some inspiration in it.
Fragrance potions were originally used by the upper class, usually applied to themselves before meeting someone of the opposite sex.
The biggest difference between this and perfume is that whether someone likes the scent of perfume is subjective.
However, aromatic potions can stimulate the most basic emotions of joy in the human body; in the simplest terms, everyone will like them.
Meanwhile, François found another potion called the Concealing Potion.
This medicine is colorless and transparent, but under certain conditions, it will emit a luster.
It is generally used to record certain secret information.
In addition, there is a potion called the Time Potion.
This potion does not allow one to manipulate time, but it can self-destruct after a period of time following its use.
It has few uses, but the book says it can be used for timing.
François suddenly realized that combining these three medicines might meet the parliament's needs.
François only needed to make one kind of medicine that, under certain conditions, would absolutely not react.
However, after the criminals steal the "academic" material, they leave clues that are not discovered by the criminals, thus leading François to the criminals' hideout.
Once he had a plan, François immediately began working on the configuration.
To create a multi-functional alchemical potion, it is not simply a matter of adding the materials required for various potions to one place.
In fact, different materials may influence each other and affect the activation of key components.
It can even induce unwanted effects.
Therefore, François needed to know all the basic materials.
Fortunately, this book, "Basic Alchemy," seems to cover the most basic concepts.
After learning everything, François tried adding spices to remove the side effects and create a brand new potion.
As a result, it hit the mark on the first try!
François's new drug received Mr. Rand's approval.
He praised François so highly that François even felt a little embarrassed.
Afterward, Mr. Rand submitted the medicine to the council.
It will be a long wait to find out the result. It is said that the city of Parliament is a city that attaches great importance to knowledge. Everything here needs to be rigorously verified and waited for, which is often the most anxious thing.
François hoped that his proposal would be approved, so that the burden on him and Mr. Rand would be lifted.
After that, he might be able to move freely in Parliament City, searching for new recipes and cooking methods.
Suddenly, the laboratory door was pushed open from the outside.
It was none other than Agent Ike.
Mr. Rand went to greet him: "Lord Ike, what brings you here today?"
Ike replied, "I've come to inform you that your alchemical elixir has passed testing."
François was secretly delighted upon hearing this.
Mr. Rand also said, "That's wonderful."
However, Ike then said:
"However, His Excellency Zold requires that you participate in subsequent missions as technical advisors."
Upon hearing this, François's heart sank.
His leisurely dream was shattered once again.
