Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 103 Fragrant Medicine
"So recently, have you heard about him from the circle of perfumers recently?" Lucia asked.

"I'll think about it." Tolixia pondered for a while, then suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Yes!"

"Our perfumers sometimes do some barter transactions. We exchange the fragrance medicines we are good at or the surplus materials with each other. At the beginning of the month, I met a trainee perfumer named Rosa I made a deal. At that time, she was in a bad mood. I asked a few words casually. She said that the teacher she had been following had just been expelled from the school without any reason, and even her future was lost—if I remember correctly , her teacher Nost is one of Master Rollo's direct disciples."

Lucia exchanged glances with the other two, and said again: "Torishia, can you please arrange a meeting with this Rosa for us recently? You can tell her our pseudonyms—Tarn, Chris and Lucifer."

"No problem," Tuo Lixia agreed, "She has always been very interested in my healing fragrance. If there is no accident, I can arrange for you to meet her tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay, then please."

The next afternoon, Lucia and his party met the trainee perfumer named Rosa in the Osilia district adjacent to the Pedri district.

Tuo Lixia went forward to say hello to the other party, and said: "These three are the knights who I told you yesterday and want to buy Iron Armor Fragrant Medicine. In addition, they also want to contact Master Rollo through you."

Lucia, Lataen, and Christopher shook hands with the female perfumer across the table politely in turn. Although the other party was only a "apprentice", she was at least four or five years older than Tolisha.

In fact, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, Tolixia has mastered most of the inheritance of a court perfumer, and even has the qualifications to become a court perfumer, which is absolutely rare in this circle.

Rosa was wearing a tight dress today, and even her face was covered with a layer of black veil. She carefully looked at the three ordinary-dressed knights in front of her with her green eyes, and nodded after a moment of silence. He said: "A bottle of Tiejia Xiangyao is [-] runes, and I still have [-] bottles in stock. If the three of you can accept this price, I will give it to Tolixia tomorrow."

"No problem." Lucia took out a leather bag from her pocket and placed it on the table. "There are five hundred runes in it, which is our deposit. The rest will be handed over to Your Excellency by Tolixia when it is in stock."

Rosa took the money bag and counted it face to face. After confirming the amount, she put it into the small bag she carried, and said, "As for Master Luo Luo's matter, please forgive me for not being able to help."

"Why?" Lataen made full use of his "reckless" peripherals, pretending to be eager, "If you are willing to help, we can pay a special reward for this, and the amount will definitely satisfy you!"

"It's not about money," Rosa sighed, "Since the three of you are Tolisha's friends, it's not a big deal to just do a favor in the past. Willing to give some convenience."

"Since you have found me, you must have known that my teacher, Lord Nost, is one of Master Rollo's direct disciples, but just a few weeks ago, he was kicked out of the door by Master Rollo," she took a deep breath. He said in one breath, "So...for the needs of the three, I can only express my helplessness."

Tuo Lixia said at the right time: "Rosa, I remember you mentioned this matter to me last time at the trade fair. I heard that Master Luo Luo has always been very attentive to his disciples. How could he suddenly expel the respected master from the sect?" Well, is there some misunderstanding in this?"

"There's no misunderstanding!" Rosa suddenly became agitated.

"Master Luo Luo has been obviously abnormal recently—not just my teacher, he even kicked out all his direct disciples and apprentices. Last week, the teacher took me to visit him together, but he didn't He didn't see you behind closed doors, and he still angrily scolded us to get out of here!"

"This approach...isn't it too unreasonable?" Christopher, who hadn't said anything, slapped the table and slapped the fire just right.

"Isn't it?" Lataen breathed out angrily, "Although the knight teacher who taught me was strict, every time a student made a mistake, he would clearly point out the mistake before punishing him. There is no reason to drive people out for no reason. ?”

"It's not for no reason, it all started from that bottle of medicine—" Rosa said in a distraught state, "It's from the beginning of studying that fragrant medicine, Master Luo Luo's whole person began to change!"

Tuo Lixia's expression changed when she heard the words, "You mean, something went wrong when he was researching the new prescription?"

"Maybe, I can't tell, but I think it's the problem of the fragrant medicine, and the teacher thinks so too."

"Since the beginning of September, Master Luo Luo has been researching a kind of fragrant medicine that we have never seen before. Every time I follow the teacher to learn how to refine fragrant medicine in the side hall, I will hear the sound from the research room in the main hall from time to time. Some horrible popping noises, and occasionally some very weird medicinal smells."

"That is to say, since then, Master Luo Luo has appeared less and less often. In the past, he would always teach the teacher and several other disciples how to refine medicine, and when he had time, he would patiently guide us low-level perfumers. But since September, we haven't seen him in class again, and when we occasionally meet in other places in the mansion, he always walks in a hurry, as if he didn't see us at all."

"How was his complexion at the time?" Tuolixia asked with concern, "If something went wrong while researching the fragrant medicine, even if you didn't take it directly, just being in contact with those chaotic medicines will affect your state."

"Color?"

Rosa recalled it for a moment, and then her expression changed: "You remind me, Master Rollo's complexion is indeed wrong. For a long time at first, his complexion was always a little abnormally rosy. At that time, the teacher and the others joked that he was old The bigger the smell, the better."

"In the end, his spirit and temper became worse and worse, and his appearance seemed to be a little older, but we all thought it was because his research was not going well, so we were in a bad mood. We didn't think deeply about the problems behind it when we saw these phenomena— —By the way, during that time, the coercion emanating from Master Luo Luo became much stronger than usual, and some juniors and younger sisters who had just started didn't even dare to go to his mansion for classes."

"Thinking about it now, if it was really that kind of fragrant medicine that infected his spirit and body, then at that time, the impact would have been quite serious."

After listening to her narration, Tolisha thought for a moment and said: "Rosa, according to my experience, this situation is definitely the result of being seriously affected by Xiangyao. He is probably not the Master Luo Luo you knew before."

"Anyway, for the sake of your safety, don't visit him again recently. Master Luo Luo is already superb in martial arts. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Rosa bowed her head in silence for a long time before she squeezed out a smile and said, "I see, thank you."

Tuo Lixia got up and stretched out her arms to gently hug the girl who was a few years older than her, and said, "Let's go first, and if you need anything later, please feel free to contact me."

The three of Lucia briefly confirmed the delivery of the iron armor fragrance medicine, and said goodbye to Rosa.
