There was an order to everything.

Anyone who has worked for a while knows that when there are a lot of tasks piled up, you have to set priorities and solve them in order from the first to the first.

But for a man with a lot of work like Philip, even setting the order was difficult.

‘Let’s see, I need to make an elixir, strengthen Neria with the beads I received from Yuna, and use the golden apple. Besides, I have to get a visit from the king and the representative of Youssef.’

At this point, the rest of the vacation was about 15 days, and I was already dizzy trying to solve all of this within that time.

First of all, the first thing to do was to make an elixir.

I didn’t know if I would be able to get help from Privia, who has been subtly kind these days, and it would be a big deal if I decided to live in the comfort of this villa.

Because I had no intention of living with my master.

In addition, if the ingredients were left unattended, the condition would deteriorate and the proper elixir might not come out.

‘I have to fix it quickly and kick it out.’

Besides, unlike children like Lua and Camilla, she was an adult woman, so there was nothing good about staying here for long.

“… I never thought I would do this labor again.”

Philip laid out the materials obtained from the Elpenia Forest on an improvised laboratory table. The ingredients are so expensive that even Phillip, who has a strong watering can, would shake his hands.

The most expensive among them was the ‘brain pole’, but originally this was something that could not be obtained even with money.

It was a material that contained the powerful natural power of the brain attribute, so it was worth salivating just by looking at it, and even Philip knew more than seven ways to use it for purposes other than elixirs.

However, since this was a material that could not be replaced with anything else, there was no choice. It was because other materials could not be refined without the energy of lightning possessed by the thunderbolt.

The shape of the brain stem was a round bead. The translucent gray orb contained churning lightning, and if you brought it close to your ear, you could hear thunder.

Philip swallowed his saliva.

‘No matter how I think about it, if I touch this wrong, I think it will go to the goal… .’

As an experiment, Philip put his hand on the brain stem and moved the aura to stimulate the brain stem. Soon, an unimaginable amount of energy surged through my arms.

Electrical currents crackled through his hands and arms, and he felt terrible pain.

“Ahh!”

Philip hastily withdrew his hand. He thought as his body trembled from the aftermath of the electric shock.

‘I almost fell for it.’

Black smoke flowed from his arms and body. If he hadn’t protected himself with an aura, he would have been electrocuted and died.

At that point, Philip realized he needed someone’s help.

At least the help of lightning resistance magic had to be received.

The first assistant chosen was Janice Murella. Janice, who had been resting at home for a few days after going to Elpenia Forest, spent more time at the villa than at her own house these days.

“… Do you mean lightning resistance magic?”

“okay.”

“What are you trying to do?”

“I need to use the lightning contained in this bead to purify the ingredients, but it’s stronger than I thought, so I needed lightning resistance magic.”

Johnny’s expression brightened a little. She thought that she might be able to repay the favor Philip had done on this occasion when her specialty came out.

“Hmm, you should leave that to the wizard. Instructor. I’ve been working with rare materials like fairy wings and unicorn manes since I was little.”

‘I don’t think I’ve ever dealt with a brain stem.’

Even the grandfather, not the head of the Murella family, would never have handled a thunderbolt directly. It was an item that was treated as a treasure even in the Yellow Mage Tower, which specializes in lightning magic.

Philip put his hand on the top of Johnny’s head and gently comforted him.

“I think this will be a bit too much for you to handle, so I think you can cast some magic on me.”

Johnny’s pride was properly scratched, and he slightly bit his lip.

“joy! I can handle a marble like this even with my eyes closed!”

Johnny’s reached out his hand toward the brain column. Philip, who didn’t know that he would come out so recklessly, couldn’t react right away.

“… !”

Fortunately, Philip pushed it off with his foot and quickly removed it, so Johnny’s was only greatly thrilled, but his life was not in danger.

“Ughgigigg… !”

When the current drained from Johnny’s body, she began to convulse a little, then fainted for a few seconds before coming to her senses. His eyes widened in disbelief.

“… this… … this… uh… How… Are you dealing with it? Oh no, I’m talking about dealing with it… ?”

The shock seemed to make it difficult for words to come out. Phillip let out a sigh of relief and rubbed his chest. Then he looked at Janice with stern eyes.

Johnny, who got up with Phillip’s help, lowered his head with a cold expression on his face.

“Johnnys. There is a reason I say no.”

“… sorry.”

“Next time, don’t do that. got it?”

“… yes. Instructor.”

Janice, drooping like a scolded puppy, opened her mouth as if she remembered something.

“Then, Instructor. I’ll ask my older brother. I don’t think this can be done with the resistance magic I know how to do.”

“hahahaha, I’m glad I can be of help.”

Castler Murella, who was invited to Philip’s laboratory, smiled softly and showed his composure.

Thanks to his recent realization, his realization has reached a completely different level. Originally a quarter master of a magic tower, he originally had excellent skills for his age.

Right now, he was evaluating himself as having reached the same level as the half masters, who only have three at most in one mage tower, and he thought he would be able to reach a higher level in a few years.

“I’m sorry for bothering you like this.”

When Philip put on an apologetic expression, Castler Murella waved his hand in denial.

“No, no. I’m rather comfortable that I can help you like this. Any amount of lightning resistance magic can be cast.”

He released the items he had brought. These were items that Philip would have known about, and they were catalysts that increased the effect of magic.

‘No, they go this far?’

Philip admired the sight of him willingly throwing catalysts worth dozens of gold coins just to use lightning resistance magic.

Castler Murella chanted a spell while holding a wand in her hand. The light disappeared from the catalyst, and the magic power was further strengthened. Philip felt a mysterious power condensing around his body and recharged his confidence.

“By the way, what kind of material is that? I have never seen a marble like that.”

Even the well-informed Kassler had never seen a thunderbolt in person. This was because it was such a rare material and few people could handle it.

“… It’s brain tea.”

While saying that, Philip reached out his hand to the brain stem. Castler, who had only heard the name, opened his mouth in amazement.

“No, that kind of thing can’t even be done with lightning resistance magic… .”

But it’s already too late. The moment Phillip’s hand touched the brain column, a tremendous electric shock filled the underground laboratory. Castler, who hurriedly cast defense magic, looked after Philip’s safety.

“Ahhh!”

‘No, can you stand that?’

Like a man born from lightning, Philip held on with his teeth clenched in the midst of the mighty electric shock. Even if there was magic to resist lightning, it would be unsurprising that even a much higher race would be able to withstand it with their bare bodies.

‘… You’re controlling that, right?’

He was controlling the current with his aura. Avoiding fatal organs, and being able to control that great power with bones, tendons, and muscles that can only be strengthened with auras basically meant that the sense of magical power was so great that it was beyond imagination.

“Wow, are you okay? Instructor?”

‘Does this look good?’

Meanwhile, Philip was dying. It felt like an electric current would burn my heart if I lost my concentration even for a second. It was a force so strong that he would never have been able to control it if he had never experienced the dragon heart.

The signals sent by the brain to the muscles and joints were also made of electric current, so Philip couldn’t move his body at will. When I tried to move my elbow, my toes moved, and when I tried to move my fingers, my lips moved.

After several trials and errors, Philip regained some control over his body and quickly began to refine some of the materials on the bench.

‘I’m really going to die now.’

Originally, in the original work, it was a task to do after wearing equipment and accessories that reduce damage from lightning attributes, but in this world, catching monsters was not a place where items came out.

After throwing the brain stem away with the last of his strength, Philip felt his legs give out and fell to one knee.

“omg… omg… .”

“Oh my God, that’s really great. How can that powerful lightning strike with will… Even the Master of the Yellow Magic Tower won’t be able to do it like Instructor.”

Cassler just thought Philip was amazing.

After sending Castler back, Philip proceeded with the following process. He was born with quick hands, but the elixir recipe was not easy.

The level of difficulty was also high, but the effort required was not easy.

It was basic to prepare and mix more than 30 ingredients in different ways, and it was necessary to boil the solution for several days at the correct temperature.

After working on the elixir for three days and nights, Philip looked exhausted despite his strong body.

“You guys… no, you… Is it okay? You can do it while taking a little break.”

Even Privia began to feel sorry for Philip.

It was the elixir that was her share in the first place, and it was provided without any cost, so seeing her putting as much effort into it made the dragon’s conscience, which had forgotten its existence for the last few hundred years, tickle as if it was trying to do its job after a while.

“ah… what did you say?”

Philip asked, looking back at Privia with wide eyes. In the meantime, he was vigorously stirring the pot made of Dwarven steel.

“He said, ‘Can I take a little break?’

At Privia’s words, Philip blinked as if he was talking nonsense.

“If you rest a little, everything you have done so far will be blown away. Do you know why the elixir was the best elixir even in ancient times? This is because a person with outstanding mental and physical strength had to work on the production for days without losing focus even once.”

It was like that in the original too. To create an elixir, you had to clear dozens of mini-games of the highest difficulty level without a single mistake.

It was such a great effect that it instantly restored a character who did not die instantly, so Philip made two of each episode to cry and eat mustard.

Freevia couldn’t help but admire. It was because Philip’s pot-stirring arm had already been moving at the correct force and speed for half a day.

It was easy to say, but it was concentration that far exceeded the human level. Just maintaining that concentration would have left enough for an average person to pass out several times.

“… thanks.”

Privia, who was looking at Philip, spit out words of gratitude as she felt something surging up in her emotions.

Born into a race that is said to be the pinnacle of a world, she has never received help from others in her entire life.

Of course, I had never seen someone go through so much trouble for themselves.

‘That guy wouldn’t have to do that.’

Watching Philip stir the pot silently even though sweat was getting into his eyes, Privia thought she had to do something in return for him.
