Lush bushes and vegetation.

No one was walking on the road, and the sparsely built buildings were of various shapes.

It was a place I couldn’t believe was underground.

Contrary to the entrance of the black market outside, which looked like a Dottegi market, I felt a peaceful and leisurely impression.

“Can we go over there to the house with the hat-shaped roof?”

“I know. Didn’t you say it was your first visit?”

“Somehow I think so.”

“but.”

We arrived in front of the witch’s house, which seemed to only appear in fairy tales.

Han So-yul knocked on the wooden door.

“Are you inside, Master?”

Shortly thereafter, the sound of something collapsing and then the sound of footsteps was heard.

The door opens, Han So-yul’s teacher.

The best alchemist in existence, Eleanor, appeared.

“Disciple, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you!”

It was a bit surprising that he was a shorty kid.

A small body that barely reached the waist.

A cute appearance like a doll, which is not strange even if you are a child actor or model.

However, the enormous magic power and the unique atmosphere that could not know the end were stimulating the sense of incongruity.

“Master, what’s wrong with you?”

Fortunately, this did not seem to be what she saw.

Apparently, in the novel, the expression of a mysterious witch who looked like she was in her early 20s was used.

“I made a mistake, so I became a little younger.”

“Did you make an elixir of rejuvenation?”

“Well, something similar. who is the boy over there? Is Soyul this?”

She smiled as she raised her little finger.

Surely, was that Jascher, meaning lover?

First time I’ve seen anyone using it.

“Classmates, classmates.”

“Aren’t you too attached for something like that?”

“This is something I couldn’t help but support.”

“Hmm.”

She looked up at Han So-yul’s face with a doubtful attitude and said.

“Would you like to come inside? Even a classmate with that skill. I’ll pour you a cup of tea.”

“yes.”

Even though he looked like that, it was revealed that he was an old man who could not be hidden.

He was probably the same age as Principal Kim Cheol or a little older than him.

Eleanor sat down on a chair in the parlor and asked Han So-yul a question.

“Was there a raid?”

“I don’t know if it was tailing or undercover.”

“Look at the complexion. You’ve been poisoned Have you already taken the antidote?”

“I ate what I had. I don’t think it was normal poison.”

“With your resistance, most poisons wouldn’t work, and if the antidote doesn’t heal… . Did you bring your poison?”

“I brought it anyway. I don’t know what kind of poison it is.”

“Give it to me.”

She took the poison handed over by Han So-yul with her finger and put it in her mouth.

Then, as if savoring it, he rolled the poison in his mouth.

“A bittersweet, fishy scent that lingers late. This taste passing through my throat… .”

Like evaluating wine, I put the poison in my mouth and savored it slowly.

It is the owner of <Paragranum>, a unique characteristic that grants absolute poison resistance.

I knew that the poison didn’t work, but the way I ate casually felt quite foreign.

“It’s the hydra’s poison.”

“Hydra poison?”

“I’ll make you an antidote. Before that, change your clothes and come.”

Hearing those words, Han So-yul belatedly checked the condition of his clothes.

It was torn in places and stained with blood.

“Are my clothes still in the room?”

“Yes, I left your luggage with you when you left.”

Han So-yul grabbed the wall and staggered toward the room, then turned to me and gave advice.

“If Master tries to give you strange medicine, never take it.”

“Old-timey, no matter how much I do, I wouldn’t do that to a customer.”

“Obviously before, when Master’s guests came.”

“then… Anyway, don’t worry, change your clothes and come. Seriously, Siri.”

“yes.”

Han So-yul headed to the innermost room.

That’s probably the room she used when she lived here.

“So your name is… ?”

“My name is Hanzo. Miss Eleanor.”

“Ho, I don’t think Soyul told me. Did you know my name?”

“Because he is famous.”

“To be famous, it’s already been more than ten years since I left the world.”

Her eyes changed.

I swallowed dry saliva at the momentary atmosphere that spewed out.

After a while, she sorted it out and continued.

“Hmm, you’re a pretty decent guy.”

“yes?”

Did you want to try me out or test me?

“not. It would be nice if you could be close to Soyul in the future.”

Saying that, she took something out of her front pocket and placed it in my hand.

“This?”

“It’s my little courtesy.”

I immediately opened my palm to check what she had placed in my hand.

It was small in size inside the wrapping paper, round in appearance, and light brown in color.

‘Nurungji-flavored candy… ?’

A nurungji-flavored candy is rolling on my palm.

It’s not a different taste, it’s the taste of nurungji… .

I prefer coffee or mint flavor.

“Oops, I got it wrong.”

There is no reason not to give candy as a gift, but I thought it was a little odd.

It seems to have been confused with other objects that looked similar.

“Okay, take it.”

Saying that, she put a marble the size of a candy into my hand.

red beads.

It was an orb imbued with a considerable amount of magical power.

“I hope this… .”

“It’s poisoning. It is an item that has been improved in my own way, based on the method I learned when I entrusted myself to the Tang family in the past.”

blood poisoning.

It looked a little different from what I know, but as the saying goes, it’s better than the original one, but it’s not inferior.

“Are you really giving this as a gift?”

I would have been more comfortable if I had received a nurungji-flavored candy.

With this small bead in my hand, I could easily buy one or two merchant houses in the land of gold.

I thought getting just one or two bottles of potion would be a good thing, but blood poisoning.

“Did I look like someone I could talk about twice?”

“It’s not like that.”

“It’s left over from making it anyway.”

“Still, I think it’s a bit too much… .”

“Sweep! Adults say it’s not like throwing up. And if an adult gives you a present, you just have to say ‘thank you’ and accept it.”

Having said that, I have nothing to say.

Watching Han So-yul’s fight, I felt the need to prepare for poison.

It was the perfect gift for me now.

“thank you.”

“Instead, it’s a secret from Soyul.”

It reminded me of a grandmother giving pocket money to her grandson without her mother’s knowledge.

Even though it looked like a child’s.

Her original appearance is not a white-haired old woman, but a woman with a mysterious spirit.

Either way, you must have felt that the outside and the inside were inconsistent.

Shortly thereafter, Han So-yul changed her clothes and came back.

“Didn’t Master feed something strange while I was away?”

He was wearing work clothes that were different from the one he had just worn, giving off the feeling of being an alchemist.

Perhaps because of the symptoms of poisoning, he was holding a wooden cane in one hand.

“No big deal.”

He asked me to keep the blood poisoning secret.

Other than that, it was safe to say that there was nothing special.

“You have a lot of other clothes, so you came in work clothes?”

“What do you think of these clothes? It’s my favorite outfit.”

“not. done. What shall I say?”

Something didn’t seem right.

“Still, you seem to be doing well in school.”

“… You are doing well.”

Although I have some doubts about whether she is doing well in school, in my opinion.

‘Because I’ve never seen Han So-yul hanging out with anyone else.’

I know that even outside of class, I probably locked myself in the dormitory and didn’t come out.

Even at a restaurant, he was often seen sitting in the corner writing down notes and eating alone.

“Are you sure you’re doing well?”

She asked Han So-yul once more if she had captured the mysterious expression I was making.

So Han So-yul glared at me once and then continued.

“Absolutely. Right, Hanzo?”

“Yeah, that’s right. I am having a good time.”

“Hmm. I’ll find out soon.”

It seems to have decided to skip it.

“Wait while drinking tea, I will make an antidote for you.”

“I will help too.”

“You’re not feeling well, so rest.”

“Master, would you be uncomfortable with that body?”

As the height decreases, the physical ability also decreases, and it will not be easy to take out high objects.

However, Eleanor raised a finger at Han So-yul and said.

“Even though his body has become smaller, his magic power remains the same. There is no problem if you use magic to assist.”

“still.”

“Don’t make me say it twice, sit down and wait.”

Saying that, she forced Han So-yul to sit down and poured her some tea.

And it was nagging.

“A guy who can’t even stop the symptoms of addiction from progressing, who is he saying he’ll help?”

As Eleanor said, even with my own eyes, Han So-yul’s physical condition was far from normal.

Not only did his face turn whiter than before, but his left arm seemed to be almost unmovable.

‘It’s not another poison, it’s because he was poisoned by the Hydra’s poison, so that’s understandable.’

Hydra.

A giant snake with nine heads.

A mythical monster that only Chun Yu-ran or principal Kim Chul in his heyday would be able to defeat single-handedly.

‘Hydra’s venom is one of the three best venoms in the novel.’

It’s probably not the undiluted solution, but the thing that diluted it.

No matter how high Han So-yul’s poison resistance was, there was no way it would end up paralyzing her body.

It is the poison that made even the main character, who achieved invulnerability, suffer.

‘Because even the protagonist in the latter half suffered from the strong poison and cut off his poisoned arm.’

Although the arm of the main character who was cut off like that grew back in episode 2.

Han So-yul seemed to hate doing nothing and continued to persuade Eleanor.

“I can do simple assistance.”

“Oh, it looks like you want to help me because you have nothing to do. Friends will come too. An album of your old photos… .”

“I will sit quietly.”

“I wish I knew.”

As if it was still difficult to get to the cleanup, Eleanor was the winner of the verbal fight.

She went into a room with a large pot on it.

‘Should I wait while drinking tea too?’

In front of me was the tea she had poured for me.

The delicate fragrance calms the mind.

Tea cold enough to drink.

Not inferior to the aroma, the unique deep taste of tea filled the mouth.

It didn’t take long for the full teacup to reveal the bottom.

“Looks like you liked the car.”

“I think this is the best tea I’ve ever had.”

“I guess so. What kind of cold is this?”

As Han So-yul said, it would not be tea made by steeping the leaves of ordinary plants.

Considering that it was a pale green liquid, I could have guessed that it was tea made with plant leaves.

“What is the brewed tea made of?”

Han So-yul’s complexion was better than before.

Of course, it was only better than before, although his complexion was pale enough to show through his skin.

“Make it. It must be tea made from brewing the leaves of a hundred-year-old mandragora.”

“A hundred-year-old Mandragora… !”

An elixir that is more precious than a hundred-year-old wild ginseng.

They say it’s a leaf, not a root, but to drink it as tea.

“Can I have another drink?”

“Sure.”

It seems that it was not because of the mood that the fatigue of the body was relieved just by smelling the fragrance.

However, although I know something about the elixir called mandragora, I don’t know much about tea brewed from its leaves.

“I say it because I don’t know. Can mandragora leaves tell us how the tea works?”

“There are many effects such as physical strength enhancement, fatigue and energy recovery, and blood circulation improvement, but to explain in one word… Good for men.”

‘It’s good for men.’ At least one or two creatures that went through extinction at that word.

Although there is no immediate reaction like when I ate Shindan, Hwaan.

It wouldn’t be my misunderstanding that the flow of mana flowing through the mana circuit felt smoother than usual.
