Overlord: Welcoming the Birth of the King
Chapter 21: Obtaining Production Professions: Alchemist, Pharmacist

Grandmother Lizzy withdrew her gaze, then turned around and headed back toward the carriage without looking back, saying, “We depart in one hour!”

The members of the Rock team quickly responded, relaxing their bodies at once.

It was one thing not knowing before.

But now that they were aware Grandmother Lizzy was a magic chanter capable of using third-tier magic, they naturally felt a wave of pressure.

“Captain Dosali, may I take a look at your injuries?” Enfirea did not leave with them but spoke with some anticipation.

“Of course.” Captain Dosali was momentarily stunned, then nodded.

Nearby, Ler and Rand, the two brothers, sat on the ground with support while the archer Baske quickly opened his backpack and took out three bottles of blue liquid recovery potions.

He then handed them to the other Rock team members.

Watching Captain Dosali and the two others gulp down the recovery potions, their faces twisted in pain, Baske could only shrug helplessly.

Although the recovery potion’s effect was far inferior to healing magic, it could stabilize wounds and slowly restore health.

He was the only one in the team still maintaining full combat strength, so after handing out the potions to the three, Baske got up and headed back toward the previous battlefield.

He cut off the ears of the ten goblins and two ogres they had killed, placing them all into the leather pouch at his waist.

These were proof of their monster kills, which could be exchanged for money at the Adventurer’s Guild.

At this side, after carefully inspecting Captain Dosali’s calf, Enfirea’s bright blue eyes gleamed with curiosity and a restless expression of contemplation.

“What’s wrong?”

Tang Zheng, standing beside, noticed the change in Enfirea’s expression.

Captain Dosali instantly became nervous, as the recovery of his calf injury was crucial for his future adventurer career.

“To have such a severe injury yet the skin and muscles have fully recovered while the bones inside remain unhealed...”

“This definitely differs from the injury recovery effects of the potion.”

Enfirea looked up at Tang Zheng, speaking excitedly before quickly standing and running toward the carriage, saying, “Wait for me.”

Is healing magic different from recovery potions?

Tang Zheng’s face flickered with thought. In games, there should be no difference since both restore health, but in this other world, perhaps there really was a distinction.

Additionally, he recalled that the recovery potions in this other world differed significantly from those in the game YGGDRASIL.

Soon, Enfirea came running over carrying a bundle of herbs.

Seeing this, Tang Zheng instinctively glanced toward the distance at Grandmother Lizzy sitting back on the carriage and noticed she seemed unconcerned.

Perhaps!

This unexpected situation was not considered a bad thing in Grandmother Lizzy’s eyes.

Tang Zheng had heard Enfirea mention that he had studied recovery potion making for several years but had never personally crafted one.

This time, with the Rock team all injured, it was a rare opportunity for Enfirea to practice.

Enfirea jogged over, placed the bundle of herbs aside, then selected several herbs and held them in his palm.

“Pharmaceutical preparation.”

Enfirea whispered as a faint green energy appeared, enveloping the herbs in his hand.

Under the glow of magical light, the herbs slowly decomposed and transformed into granular powder.

Next, Enfirea repeated the same process with several different herbs, skillfully mixing the powders in precise proportions.

The entire process lasted about ten minutes.

“Tang, can you help me a bit?” Enfirea looked up.

“Sure.”

Tang Zheng nodded quickly.

He had previously considered the production professions of Pharmacist and Alchemist, and now that the chance had arrived, he naturally wouldn’t refuse.

Following Enfirea’s prompt, Tang Zheng fetched the ceramic jar he had been using as a kettle.

“Pour water inside.” Enfirea cupped the powder in both hands.

Opening the water pouch, Tang Zheng poured the water into the ceramic jar, and during this, Enfirea poured all the powder into it.

“Alchemy!” Enfirea held the ceramic jar, gently shaking it as a faint light glowed from his hands.

Under the watchful eyes of Tang Zheng and the Rock team members, the liquid inside the jar gradually turned into a cloudy pale green solution.

“This is… a recovery potion!”

Captain Dosali’s eyes widened in shock.

He believed that besides pharmacists, very few people in this world had ever witnessed the birth of a recovery potion firsthand.

“No, this is not a recovery potion.”

“It can only be called an alchemical solution with healing effects. To make a complete recovery potion, the process is much more complex than this.”

Hearing Captain Dosali’s exclamation, Enfirea shook his head and spoke seriously.

“Moreover, if left for too long, the solution in the jar will deteriorate, becoming not only unusable but also somewhat toxic. It can only be made and used on the spot.”

“Captain Dosali, drink this.”

“This is an alchemical solution that can relieve pain and has some healing effect. It should help your injury.”

Enfirea held the ceramic jar and handed it to Captain Dosali with a bright smile.

Captain Dosali and the Rand brothers sitting on the ground watching suddenly breathed more heavily, their faces once again revealing the pain from earlier.

If only they hadn’t drunk the recovery potions!

Next, Enfirea made more of the solution and handed it to the two injured Rand brothers.

After finishing all this, Enfirea’s face showed clear signs of fatigue. Making three servings of the “alchemical solution” was no small burden.

“What’s wrong, Tang?” Enfirea rolled up his sleeves and wiped sweat from his forehead, noticing Tang Zheng dazed nearby.

At this moment, Tang Zheng’s attention was fixed on his attribute panel.

The skills “Pharmaceutical Preparation” and “Alchemy” that Enfirea had just used caused changes to appear on the panel.

Tang Zheng spent two skill points to learn these two skills, and the attribute panel showed new changes:
