The Exhausting Reality of Novel Transmigration

Drinking this medicine would improve one’s internal strength and would make one’s qi flow smoothly.
At the same time, it would also purify one’s blood and help the body recover.

It was a necessary medicine for Cassion, as he needed to grow in a short period of time.

That’s why I really want the rapid development potion to be made successfully…

“You said that there’s not enough ingredients.
If you do have the ingredients, will there be any other problem?”

“There won’t.
I succeeded in making a potion that’s of a similar kind to the recipe you had given me.
However, I ran out of the ingredients I needed the most while I was studying it.”

“Can’t you ask Blanca to procure more? There’s nothing she can’t get her hands on.”

At my declaration of my firm belief in Blanca, Logan’s brows rose.

“She can procure it.
But it would be difficult to find those ingredients within the Empire, so she would have to import it from abroad.
It will take a while.”

“How long…”

“Perhaps, about two years?”

Hoh.

I’m at a loss for words.
If it’ll get here in two years, then that’s too late.

Cassion’s resurrection was due on the coming-of-age ball next January.

“That’s too late already.
Is there really no way to get those ingredients within the Empire?”

Well, it’s clear that it’s unobtainable when Blanca had yet to start discussing the price.

Nevertheless, I couldn’t help but think it’s a shame.

“At this moment, the ingredient doesn’t exist in the Empire.
It’s been extinct for more than two decades now.”

“Extinct? Which ingredient?”

“The antlers of a white deer.”

So it’s that, the antlers of a white deer.

In the case of the rapid development potion, Logan had to research and modify the ingredients and formulation for this elixir.

It was an unfamiliar item, so those white deer antlers must be one of the improvised ingredients.

‘Even just hearing about it makes it seem unfamiliar.’

As I nodded, I tried to brush off my disappointment.

It was a shame, but we have to let go of what we couldn’t do.

It’s not a habit of mine to waste time on things that wouldn’t work.

In my mind, I saw a deer with a white body and yellow antlers, but with a meaningless shake of the head, the image gradually faded.

Along with the deer’s silhouette.

All of a sudden, I was filled with a strange feeling as I associated the words ‘white deer’ with the white-furred and yellow-horned animal.

“Wait, did you say white deer?”

“Yes.
A white deer.”

“Then… the deer’s body is white, and the antlers are yellow?”

As I mumbled, Logan nodded as he looked at me with questions in his eyes.

“Yes, that’s right.”

Leaning against the window frame, I tapped a curtain with my fingertips. Tok. The thick curtain made a dull sound.

I closed my eyes for a moment and thought about the original novel.

And I wondered, where exactly I saw this deer that I had a strange feeling of déjà vu.

My rumination didn’t last long.

Soon enough, I realized where I saw it.

That was quite the massive episode.
Funny how I didn’t think about it right away.

With a grin now on my lips, I opened my eyes.
Still, the green-gray eyes looked at me dubiously.

“I’ll get it for you, that ingredient.”

Hearing my confident declaration, the questions in his eyes grew even more.

“You’re going to procure it? How?”

“How, well.
Instead of that, I can tell you that the time I’ll need to get it will be about… two months?”

“That’s better than two years.”

“Certainly.”

It seemed like he wanted to ask further, but instead, he nodded.

“Then, I’ll trust you and wait for it.”

I could roughly guess his unsaid question.

It couldn’t be procured by Blanca, who he was loyal to, so how could I get it in just two months?

However, I didn’t have to answer a question that I wasn’t asked, so I just hummed.

“Of course, Doctor.”

Logan rose from his seat.

It’s an implicit gesture to say that their business here was over.

As I was still leaning against the windowsill, I watched Logan as he was ready to go out.
However, I opened my lips once more because something occurred to me belatedly.

“By the way, what do you think about him?”

“Who are you referring to?”

“You know already but you’re feigning innocence.
I’m talking about your student.”

At the mention of that student, Logan scratched his forehead.
While putting his notebook into his coat pocket, he responded.

“I don’t recall having a student or anything like that.”

His voice was once again firm.

Diana had been listening quietly until now, but with a pout, Diana interjected.

“Zobel will be very disheartened if he heard you say that.
He treats you like a teacher, you know.”

Logan stared back at Diana without answering.
He just shoved his pen in his pocket.

I laughed a little as I watched Logan act that way.

His voice was entirely firm and his attitude was absolutely negative, but his expression didn’t look all that bad.

“Yeah, be nice to Zobel.
He’s someone I especially entrusted to you.
If you teach him well, he’ll be a decent pharmacist.”

My words were to pacify him, but Logan’s straight brows knitted slightly.

It seemed like he noticed that I was teasing him.

Anyway, just like Blanca, he’s quite quick-witted.

His green-gray eyes were sullen now, and with an equally sullen voice, he answered.

“Well… Even with his skills now, he’s not bad as a pharmacist.
To the point that you wouldn’t believe he’s actually a knight.”
