I learned how to use the scales to make the items from the alchemist obaa-san, and immediately gathering the pharmacist group, we tried to make it. New potions were not particularly difficult, and when making them, just use the mana from the scales and the extracted ingredients with the water. I saw it when the obaa-san was making it, but no matter how I look at it, it just seemed as if she boiled the scale to get the stock. 

Perhaps it was because of that, that I tried it thinking that I could easily do it, but it was much more difficult than I thought it would be.

「This is…, quite exhausting.」

Dragon scales were naturally hard, so nothing would change just by boiling them. By pouring the mana, it would become possible to permeate the water with the mana of the scales and the ingredients. The amount of mana flowing out was not normal. I thought I was going to run out of mana, but somehow, I managed to absorb the mana from the surroundings.

「I can’t do it anymore~.」

「I’ll take over.」

「Would it not be good to have two people do it at the same time?」

As an experiment, I let the pharmacist group do it, but they quickly ran out of mana. Even for me, who had more mana than others, had to absorb the surrounding mana, so it was obvious, but it was very inefficient if it couldn’t be made by one person.

「Shuu can skillfully do it by himself.」

Maa, it was something that I could make by absorbing mana. Everyone drank mana potions and let their mana recover, but it made no sense to drink potions to make potions.

「Oh yes, why don’t I try using this?」

What I took out was the weapon that I bought in the imperial capital that was affixed with『Mana Absorption』. I thought that it was a good enchantment, but it was, of course, cursed and would absorb the mana of the user. However, thanks to Rin-chan dispelling it, it became something that absorbed the mana in the surrounding area and replenished the user’s mana.

Incidentally, the blade part of the knife would absorb the mana, but somehow, it was also able to absorb magic. Things like water, fire, and rocks that were produced by magic would disappear when cut by the knife. For a moment, I thought that it would be invincible against magic, but there were not many monsters who used magic, and because it was dangerous to use a knife against magic that would come flying towards you, it was sealed.

The alchemy pot that the obaa-san sold me was unexpectedly highly efficient, so I didn’t exchange it with Wind Dragon materials for nothing as it made great efforts. Thanks to it, we made great progress in making high quality potions with high efficiency. . 

「H, hard!」

「This, how do you shave it!?」

「As expected of a dragon scale.」

The next thing we’re going to attempt was the universal medicine. By all rights, depending on the poison, one would need the corresponding medicine, but the universal medicine was effective no matter what poison it was. In addition, although it was not as effective as specialized medicines, it seems to be effective against illnesses, so it’s something that I would like each family to have.

About that universal medicine, you had to turn the dragon scale into fine powder and mix a small amount of it. And, the obaa-san used her own knife to shave a small bit of it and turned it into fine powder. At that time, I thought that it had to be done that way since the dragon scales were hard, but if it were so easy to make a scratch on it, then it would not be difficult to subjugate them. The knife that the obaa-san was most likely a fairly sharp one.

「Oh yeah, the obaa-san said that we could use the claws.」

「Claws? Did she mean the dragon claws?」

I took out the Wind Dragon claws that I had put into my『Item Box』and gave them to the children from the pharmacist group. They were sharp, so I cautioned them on how to use them. Not to mention, the Wind Dragon claws were many times sharper than the weapons that we used. When I thought that, it seemed like they would be able to leave a mark on the dragon scales.

「Waah, amazing, it can be shaved.」

「Conversely, turning it into fine powder would be difficult.」

The Wind Dragon claws were much sharper than I thought they would be and we were able to process the scales. If the scales were a little harder, perhaps we could’ve smoothly turned them into fine powder? It might be because the scales were a little old. In any case, with this, it seems that we will somehow be able to make the universal medicine. We had a lot of scales as well and the other materials could be harvested from Dragon Forest, so we should be able to do it and sell it cheaply, which was a relief.
