Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 146 Experiment



On the 33rd floor of this tower, the [Alchemy lab], I was standing before a complicated piece of equipment made of glass.

Many pieces of equipment made of glass were decorating the whole giant room that was on the smaller side of the floors of this great tower.

I was making something important right now.

It has been almost a year, so I knew the 'exam' master mentioned will be here any day.

I had to do the final preparations.

Surprisingly, my proficiency in alchemy had increased considerably.

I could now process materials that even high-grade, experienced ones might not be able to perform.

But it was only possible because of this masterful equipment that made almost the entire process automatic.

Everything in this place, from the little spoon to take the material to that giant fridge, all the things were artifacts created by her.

These things were her creation, and I had never seen most of them in any books I had read during my stay in this place.

I had read many books, more than I had decided in the quiet library with slowed time.

I had finished that one shelf as well as many other books that caught my eye.

We had everything in this tower, everything.

This place was a miracle created by an unparalleled being and she was an amazing person on top of all these things.

She didn't change from how she was, instead, she never brought up the test in all this time.

I knew she wouldn't mention something like that again, but, well; I focused on the training with all my heart.

Reading as many books as I can, gaining more proficiency with my skills and body, and practicing with her in the weekly spars that were still continuing.

Learning and creating new magic, experimenting with my Origin skill, and making things that could help me increase my overall strength.

Just like right now, there is a complex process going on before me in their glass-like equipment.

​ They were like those old chemistry tools, but the unusual patterns on them as well as the glowing magic circles that did all the process were amazing to see.

I was making a potion that could increase the Mana pool, but I knew no one other than me, or with a mental fortitude like me, can consume it.

The ingredients were potent and if not for the protective mask and white lab clothes I was wearing, there might be accidents.

With the Mana rich herbs I chose and the ingredients available in this lab, I had been testing this thing for the last some weeks.

A person's Mana pool was related to the body and the Mana nucleus.

In general, increasing the pool and purity of Mana was the most difficult thing possible.

You can use potions to recover Mana but, increasing the natural amount of Mana one can hold was impossible by current means.

Well, even a one percent increase, something one might say was nothing much, was drastic for a Mage.

Having more Mana was a good thing, but artificially increasing the Mana pool was an arduous task.

No potion can do such a thing.

But there were some rare people and divine artifacts that can do such a thing.

But, as I said, it would be mostly a one or two percent increase.

The thing I was making was half of my own recipe while I gathered the research data from the library books on ancient alchemy and my master.

I could ask her any questions I wanted and she would answer me with the best of her hints.

I had tried this and failed countless times already these weeks but, this time, I was confident.

I knew I could do it this time.

The large test tubes, flasks, and other types of equipment with distinct color enchantment and magics were processing the highest Mana ingredients, stabilizers, and helping agents.

This chemical process was more difficult than medicine making and I knew what I wanted to do was impossible at the first glance.

But, if I was the one to consume this thing, then everything will be alright.

This potion will affect the Mana nucleus directly, sending the highest density of Mana in the potion to the core and the core would almost burst with that overflowing energy.

Enduring it was one thing, but being able to handle the effects and aftereffects of this thing needed a mind that can remain 'sane' in the process and something other than Mana that can help the overflowing energy channel through the body.

And I also had my energy circulation skill that will help me even though I will try it alone.

The failures were heartbreaking but, this was already a success.

I had run the test simulations in the research room, so I was sure that this normal water-like liquid gathered in the small flask at the end of this half room covered an enormous group of artifacts.

The many things at the start of this process were chopped, mixed, ground, mixed, purified, and gone through many processes to get there.

I was waiting with my eyes observing every process of the artifacts.

It was almost finished, and there should be no problem now.

At last, something that can increase my Mana pool by at least 10% was now within my reach.

And my expectations were answered when the last drop from the instrument fall in the flask, making my wild heart slow down.

"Ok..." Taking a deep breath, I slowly turned off all artifacts and closed the glass container.

This lab was no place to take something like this, so, walking out on the teleport circle in the hall, I looked at the ring in my hand.

This was a special key master gave me a while back and I can use this to go to any floor as well as to the first-floor summoning room from anywhere.

Meaning... I can come back here whenever I wanted!

That was a joyous moment when I learned that I can come back here.

I was thinking of how to bring this up, but she just gave me such a precious artifact causally.

I could never express my thanks to her but, I was happy.

This ring was a special one.

Channeling some Mana, I appeared on the 22nd floor with an endless white area.

This was one of those scary-looking pure white, endless rooms of movies but, this one was different.

I can do things like this here and I would at least be safe because of the protection magic and such this room was mad for.

I won't die at the very least, so I can do weird stuff freely here.

Taking out the mask and lab coat and storing it away in my storage space, I sat down on the ground.

My clothes were also artifacts, which was quite weird but, they were protective gear so it was fine.

Opening the glass container, I first called Celes, who was with the master in the fruit garden.

That place was also marvelous, as well as all the places that produced food in this tower.

There was a floor for almost everything, from vegetables, fruits, and herbs, to the common garden with that divine artifact.

And they were harvesting some fruits similar to strawberries.

I can see them through her vision and they sure were having a blast.

[[ Oh, master~! How is your experiment going~? ]]

She asked, noticing I was looking at their fun.

She was as close to master as me and as both of them were ladies; they played in the tower more than me.

Well, it was good.

[[ Oh? Looks like you finished the potion that can increase the Mana pool. Marvelous~. ]]

Master complimented as she put a fruit which looked exactly like a strawberry but was brown colored in the basket.

I had tasted it, and its flavor was closer to a peach than a strawberry.

Grandma was smiling, but her eyes contained worry.

I knew this would be her reaction, and I was right.

I knew her well from all the time we had spent together and she was going to say something common now.
