The Return of the Genius Farmer - Chapter 139

Episode 139

70. I went to someone else’s house – 1

The dragon’s abode has been called Lair since ancient times and was known to be a place filled with all kinds of treasures.

That’s why Lee Han-do was also a little bit hopeful.

“What do you think?”

But that expectation was shattered in an instant.

The place where the dragon and Leticia arrived was a small cabin.

The two looked at the dragon in puzzlement at its shabby appearance compared to the cabin where Lee Han was staying.

“Hahaha. Isn’t it too small for a place where a dragon lives?”

“yes.”

As he nodded, not intending to hide anything, the dragon smiled and opened the door to the cabin.

There, my expectations were dashed once again.

It seemed like there might have been some kind of space expansion magic like Lee Han’s cabin, but there was nothing like that.

The dragon is a great magician.

However, the two looked at each other, wondering why he hadn’t used space expansion magic for convenience. The dragon smiled his characteristically comfortable smile.

“I live alone, so why bother building something so big? I don’t really have anything to show off.”

“I see. By the way, don’t you get bored living alone?”

There was only evidence that the dragon had lived alone in the hut.

As Lee Han spoke, looking around the dreary interior where it was obvious that they were not even properly welcoming guests, Yong nodded.

“Dragons are originally lonely.”

For her, who has been given life that is close to infinite, loneliness is not difficult.

It’s just a little annoying.

That’s why Yong was grateful for Lee Han’s gaze.

Because what people want from a mighty dragon is its power, and they don’t worry about the loneliness behind it.

“Would you like some tea?”

“thank you.”

I placed a kettle on the stove in the corner of the cabin and after a while the water boiled with a bubbling sound.

Then he took a small leaf, put it in a cup, and added water, and in no time a fragrant tea was made.

“What is this plant?”

“It’s called Wolyeongcho.”

“Wolyeongcho… …!”

Leticia seemed to know what it was.

He swallowed lightly and looked at the car in front of him.

“The Moonflower is a medicinal herb that contains the energy of the moon. It is also often used as an alchemy catalyst. However, I heard that the Moonflower also became extinct after humans disappeared a long time ago… … I didn’t know that it would remain here.”

“There are many things like this among the legacies left by the people I was close to. Would you like to take a look?”

The dragon took a sip of the moonlight tea and smiled gently.

Leticia nodded repeatedly, and Leehan also agreed with her opinion, perhaps out of curiosity.

After they finished drinking the tea, the dragon took them to the basement of the cabin.

The cool, dark basement was quite dry.

The shelves that filled the magical preservation cellar each contained a sack with a nameplate attached.

“They’re all dried.”

“Even I can’t grow living plants. So I have no choice but to preserve what I have.”

She let out a small sigh with a regretful expression on her face and took Lee Han to a corner.

She took one out of the small bags there and placed it on Lee Han’s hand.

“These are seeds of the Wolryeongcho. Please grow them.”

“Do you need anything else? Please give it to me all at once.”

“Huh? Really?”

The dragon, delighted, held out a few pouches.

“This is one of the shadow pools called Siyoung, and it’s used as a catalyst. And this is a pool called Lilado, and it helps with stabilization. And this is… … .”

Leticia’s mouth would gape open whenever the dragon’s description came up.

This was because each and every one of them was considered more expensive than its weight in gold to alchemists.

“What on earth are you trying to do with such precious things?”

“They’re trying to make a magic bomb.”

“Magic Bomb!!”

Is it something precious?

Lee Han, who knew nothing about alchemy, just kept his mouth shut.

While he was fiddling with his pockets, Yong and Leticia began to chatter excitedly about something he couldn’t understand.

Why bother interfering? Lee Han decided to just look around the basement and looked around the shelves.

‘Should I have brought an explanation?’

Then it would have been easier to figure out what the seeds here were.

When Lee Han, who had promised to bring the explanation next time, was fiddling with a sack, Yong and Leticia approached Lee Han with much brighter expressions than before.

“This child’s knowledge of alchemy is more advanced than I thought.”

“I’m just not good enough compared to you, Master. I’m worried that I’ll just be a nuisance to the experiment.”

“Hmm. No. No.”

The dragon seemed to like Leticia.

If that’s the case, then it’s done.

There was no reason for him to interfere with the priest-student relationship, so Lee Han didn’t think much of it.

“Then how long should I raise these and give them to you?”

“I wish you would do it quickly… … .”

“Then let’s do it tomorrow, Leticia. What are you going to do now, Leticia? If you’re going to help with the dragon’s experiments, wouldn’t it be better to live here?”

“I think it would be better to sleep in the same place you usually sleep.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll bring them here and bring them back. I’m thinking of buying them a cup of coffee while I’m at it.”

“Then let’s do that. Okay. Then will you take me?”

“Okay, let’s go.”

As soon as the dragon’s magic was activated, the three arrived at the cabin in an instant.

When Lee Han, who had gone empty-handed, showed up with his pockets full, Shredder, who had been waiting in the cabin, greeted them with a smile.

“How was the dragon’s dwelling?”

“It was just like that.”

“There weren’t any huge ruins or anything?”

“None. None.”

Lee Han explained about the cabin where the dragon lived.

After hearing his story, Schroeder became suspicious.

He too, if he were a dragon, would have thought he lived in a place called Rare.

“In the past, I too was interested in things like gold and silver treasures.”

“Oh. But where did it all go?”

“As I live, I realize that I don’t really need anything. Gold and jewels? Treasures? Those things don’t really occupy much of my life. I just have what I need, and I only spend what I need. I think it’s better to give the rest to others.”

“That’s true. If you say you have a lot of treasures, all sorts of guys will come looking for you.”

“That’s right. That’s how it used to be. Dragon slayers and all.”

As she bitterly reminisced about the past, Tree approached her and patted her on the head. In return, Yong patted her on the head.

“Anyway, there’s no reason to have something you don’t need. What I need are the ingredients for alchemy and your affogato. And… … .”

The dragon looked around the hut.

She gazed at the place where the cabin family was gathered as if she was enjoying it, then swallowed her words with a slight smile.

But there was no one present who did not know what she was trying to say.

Since Leticia became the Dragon’s Disciple, the cabin has had new facilities added.

It was an alchemy laboratory.

Lee Han and others looked at the large pot inside the laboratory with curiosity.

“Is this an alchemy jar?”

“This is my first time seeing it in person.”

“Can’t a witch use alchemy?”

“The witch doesn’t use alchemy because she has been dealing with an alchemist for a long time. But why did you install this here?”

“Alchemy is a discipline where momentary flashes of brilliance are important. So it would be natural to create a place for disciples to experiment with whatever comes to mind right away.”

It was, of course, Yong who installed the alchemy facility here.

After working hard for several days to create a laboratory here, Yong turned his attention to Lee Han.

“Have you ever thought of taking a step into the world of alchemy?”

“hmm…….”

Learning new skills is always a good feeling.

But can we afford that now?

Lee Han, who had been thinking deeply, shook his head.

“Once I’ve mastered the blacksmithing technique perfectly, then I’ll take on the challenge. If you need anything that can be made with alchemy, just ask me.”

“Well, that’s true.”

“I’ve never actually seen alchemy done before, can you show me some?”

Hongryeon asked with an excited face.

Others seemed to be looking at her with anticipation, and Yong shrugged his shoulders before taking some materials from around the lab.

“Um… …Should I try making a simple strengthening potion?”

She pushed the herbs that Lee Han had brought from farming a few days ago, herbs from the purple forest, and other materials such as bones and ores into the alchemy jar, and began to boil the contents of the jar while reciting a spell.

“oh…….”

All I had to do was add a few herbs, some water, and a few reagents, and light began to stream out of the jar.

The complex, which had been glowing brightly according to the dragon’s spell, stopped emitting light when her spell ended.

“It’s the most basic strengthening potion.”

She took some medicine from the alchemy jar and put it in a bottle, then placed the potion in Lee Han’s hand.

It’s a strengthening potion.

Letish explained to Lee Han, who was wondering where it could be used.

“This potion becomes stronger when applied. The one made by the Master has a permanent effect. Not just anyone can make it.”

It is something that you wouldn’t even be able to imagine unless you have outstanding skills like a dragon.

I gave him a look asking if he could accept such a precious thing, but the dragon simply nodded.

“Oh. Then would it be good to apply it on ceramics?”

Lee Han brought out a piece of pottery he had made a while ago and sprinkled the potion on it.

A soft light flows out, surrounds the porcelain, and disappears.

Although the porcelain did not appear to have changed significantly on the outside, it was clear that it had been strengthened.

-Thud! Thud… … !

Even though it was dropped on the floor, the porcelain did not break.

‘I think it would be a good idea to apply this to everything I use at home.’

Even without that, I sometimes dropped and broke the ceramics.

But if you apply this potion, that won’t happen.

When Lee Han showed interest, Yong chuckled.

“Should I make you a generous amount? This won’t be difficult since we have a lot of herbs thanks to you.”

“Then I would appreciate it.”

“If there’s anything else you need, just let me know.”

“Can you make me a stamina recovery potion?”

I remembered the potion I had drunk in Dwarven City.

The stamina that was lost from overusing the ability was restored by drinking a few potions.

Then, it will be useful when the need arises for large-scale farming in the future.

“Okay, I understand. But I need some medicine, so you’ll have to take the trouble.”

“That’s not difficult.”

“Me! Me! Can you make something to wash with? Back when humans were around, there were a lot of things, but now there’s only soap.”

“That can also be made if you have the ingredients.”

Joy filled Hongryeon’s eyes.

She turned her head quickly and earnestly asked Lee Han.

“Please grow that too!”

“All right.”

Besides that, everyone asked for what they needed.

The dragon, who was a great alchemist, readily agreed to most of their requests as if they were not difficult, and everyone was satisfied.

“The quality of life will be enriched.”

Shredder smiled happily as he received a potion from the dragon that would extend the shelf life of books.

When Lee Han smiled at him like that, Lee Han’s crystal ball sparkled.

“Sailor Miss?”

-Oh! I got it! Mr. Lee Han! I’m contacting you about a pottery issue~!

Sailor ordered the pottery in a cheerful voice.

When she started talking about the day she would come to Daesurim to get the pottery, Lee Han snapped his fingers.

“That’s great. We’re planning to introduce some new ceramics, so we’ll take them with us.”

-Huh? But aren’t you far?

“You can use the Fairy Path.”

– Then you’re welcome! Hey… … and can you bring the tree with you?

“I’ll go.”

As soon as I gave the tree permission, cries of joy began to be heard from inside the crystal ball.
