My Wife and I Became Sages in Another World

Chapter 370: Genius Alchemists

Chapter 370: Genius AlchemistsWhen we left The Pit for a second time to look for more survivors in the nearby settlements, we got to a small town that the warriors hadn’t been able to save from the soldiers before.

Rio, who was in my group, told me that they had over fifty brainwashed soldiers protecting the town, and the last time they scouted it, they spotted an Accursed Beast accompanying them.

For that reason, the warriors never had a chance to save any of the enslaved villagers that they kept inside the town.

While Bjorn and Magnus explained to the confused warrior what had happened to him, Reinar and Jen told me their process for perfecting the potion.

Apparently, Jen had discovered that if she fermented the redberries that grew on End Forest, they would release a toxin that would numb a person’s pain receptors—in other words, she had found a way to make anesthesia.

The toxin wasn’t potent enough to cause any permanent damage to a person unless they digested a lot of fermented berries. However, when they mixed them inside the new potions, it countered the painful feeling from the cleansing.

’These two are geniuses...’ I thought, still pleasantly surprised.
