章節 50: Alchemist

Daedalus woke up relatively early the next morning and did some stretches before walking into his study, while Daedalus had been in the separate dimension he had used the telepathy to request his father to make and fill a study with books on all forms of crafting no matter how unused the craft might be. So Daedalus began reading up on some other forms of crafting such as alchemy and a few art based crafts like carving and modelling. After reading into alchemy for a few area he had decided that maybe he should get all the equipment for alchemy he might need.

Daedalus swiftly left the castle and began walking through the market place in the center of the city. After only a few minutes of asking around Daedalus had managed to make his way over to an alchemist guild that had recently opened.

Walking in Daedalus was greeted by a clearly knowledgeable half-elf women who said while bowing "What may I help you with your highness?"

Daedalus replied calmly saying "Well I have taken an interest in alchemy but I have no equipment and as I haven't been able to go around the capital for a while I thought I would get it all myself."

The half-elf women then said "Okay, well if your highness would follow me I will show you the highest quality equipment we have."

"Okay, lead the way."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

However after looking around for a while Daedalus had found nothing to his liking. Daedalus turned to the downtrodden looking half-elf and said "Miss if it wouldn't be an issue I could always suggest just giving me the instructions to be able to make the equipment myself?"

"Your highness if it is alright I will go now and get one of the head alchemists and have them give you the instructions as I myself don't know how?"

"Go on, I don't mind such small issues such as waiting a few minutes."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was only an hour later that Daedalus was about fed up and about to leave that one, stick up his arse alchemist came up with his head in the air. Daedalus saw this and became even more unhappy, this only increased when he saw the half-elf women behind the man supporting a broken arm with clear pain all over her face.

Daedalus became utterly furious at the audacity of this alchemist to the point that he was clenching his teeth together. When the alchemist finally arrived in front of Daedalus he snorted before saying "What do you want, I was busy working on a potion?"

By this point Daedalus face was contorting in rage in his mind he was thinking 'This man clearly didn't even wait for her to say who I was before coming down here!'

Daedalus then said in a calm tone "I assume your reason must be greater than that for having made me wait an hour?"

The alchemist sneered and said "And why would that be?"

"As only a fool would make a crown prince wait an hour and break the arm of the one serving him in his own empire!"

The alchemist suddenly froze for a moment before looking at his face only for a second later his entire face went a whole new shade of pale. Daedalus then continued and said "You will pay for your offending me by becoming my servant. And you miss..."

"Celeste."

"...Celeste will be allowed to work as my organiser and secretary of sorts."

Celeste had her mouth agape before thanking Daedalus profusely, however Daedalus just waved it off. Daedalus the took the two with him and when they reached the castle he told the alchemist to go and tell the stables manager that he would be working as the lowest ranking stable hand with a meager pay.
