Two days passed after the accident with the mage group. The last of the five great guilds in Labyrinth City, the mercenary guild members, start to come to Red Dawn. They tried to recruit Ludger after hearing about him declining the magic tower invitation. But They got the same answer as the other guilds.
Ludger is currently working in Red Dawn to help his mother and the owner. But he realizes about something that he left at the alchemy guild. It was something that will have a bad effect on his current peaceful life.
'Damn it! I forget about that! I hope he won't read it.' Ludger feel panic as he remembered about it.
"Owner, can I leave for a moment because I just remember that I leave something important in the alchemy guild. Don't worry about me, Mom. I promise you I will come back before dinner time to help both of you with the work." Ludger asks Caron and promises to his mother who is looking at him with a worried face.
"But will you be alright to go to the alchemy guild alone?" Katarina feels worried about letting Ludger go alone to the alchemy guild.
Katarina becomes overprotective of Ludger after she heard about the magic tower from Hudson. She was afraid that they might be trying to kidnap her child and run to the Silvanus Magic Kingdom. Katarina knows that her child is quite talented with magic but she still wishes to be able to stay by her child's side because that child is the only family member for her.
She had asked about what will her child do as 'Ludger' in this city and the child answered that 'Ludger' will need more time to make an answer. As currently, the child wants to taste the freedom as 'Ludger' and the Red Dawn still needs 'Ludger' help right now. She feel relief hearing her child answer but still, she was worrying about her child's safety.
Although Katarina knows that her child was able to defeat a high-rank monster, but she is still worried about the safety of her young child. And the last accident with Keres makes her worried even more than before.
Ludger looked at his mother's worried face. He understands that his mother was worried about his safety but he also needs to take that thing out and hide it in a safe place. That's why he needs to go to the alchemy guild alone right now.
"Mom, nothing will happen to me and I will return quickly after I take it back. It was something that might put me in danger if Mr. Favian saw it." Ludger tries to make an excuse but it just makes Katarina's face become more worried.
As Ludger was trying to make more excuses someone suddenly calls him from behind.
"Master Ludger, it has been a long time since I have not seen you." It was Hugo with his overdramatic greetings as he had his usual sly smile.
"Is one day really that long for you?" Ludger said like refuted Hugo's words.
"And hello, Lady Caron and Lady Katarina." Hugo ignores Ludger's words and greets Caron and Katarina normally.
"Mr. Hugo, do you want to order something? We are currently on a break time so I recommend you to come back later." Ludger said with a commercial smile on his face.
"No, no, no. Although I want to order something to eat but there was another important thing that I need to discuss it with you, Master Ludger. It was about the thing that we are talking about in our journey to this city." Hugo quickly changed his expression to a serious expression.
"I don't have any time to talk to you, I need to go to the alchemy guild right now...Right, how about you coming with me to the alchemy guild right now?" At first, Ludger wants to drive Hugo away but he stops and asks him to go with him to the alchemy guild.
"Can I go with Mr. Hugo to the alchemy guild, Mom?" Ludger uses Huses to accompany him to the alchemy guild to lessen his mother's worry.
"I'm sorry if my child bothered you, Mr. Hugo." Katarina apologizes to Hugo.
"Don't worry about it, Mam. I am also interested in what Master Ludger want to do in the alchemy guild. I have a feeling that it will be famous." Hugo said with his merchant-like smile.
"Don't bother Mr. Hugo too much and you need to respect the elder." Katarina warns Ludger.
"Don't worry about it, Mom. I will be a good boy. Let's go, Mr. Hugo." Ludger said with a serious face before he pull Hugo to leave with him.
Both of them quickly leave Red Dawn and went to the alchemy guild. When they arrive at the alchemy guild, they ask the worker to call Favian.
It didn't take a long time for Favian to come and meet them.
"Do you have something you want to teach me, Teacher?" Favian excitedly asks.
Hugo gives a sharp gave full of his interest and confusion after hearing Favian words.
"Let's go to your place because I put something important in your laboratory last time. I come to take it back." Ludger pulls Favian hand and heads to his laboratory.
When they arrived at the laboratory, Ludger quickly look at the pile of papers in the corner of the laboratory. And half of it seems to be read by Favian while the other half is still in blank papers like state. The words are still hidden in those papers.
Ludger quickly look at the papers that were read by Favian. He was busy searching in the pile of papers and ignore Favian and Hugo who watch him with dumbfounded expressions.
"So who are you? Why Teacher bring you here with him?" Favian turn his head and look at Hugo.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Favian. I have heard the news about you and have always wanted to meet you before. My name is Hugo Ventus from the 'Green Sea' merchant group. Ah, but I was coming today because Master Ludger told me to follow him for our discussion." Hugo greets and introduce himself self politely before he explained his reason for accompanying Ludger here.
Favian looked at Hugo with a confused face and opened his mouth. "Teacher took you here!? Can I hear about what you want to discuss with the teacher?"
"Of course, I also want to get your help about this matter if possible. Master Ludger told me to make a book that could be mass-produced. That means we will need to use the duplicating magic tool, 'Duplo' to do it. Can I buy a few of that magic tools? I think Master Ludger is currently looking for it." Hugo said while looking at Ludger who was currently busy with the pile of papers.
"Did Teacher try to publish his great knowledge to everyone!? As expected from my Teacher, he was someone who will bring change into this world!" Favian excitedly said.
"So, why do you call Master Ludger a 'Teacher'? How long have you known Master Ludger?" Hugo asks with a curious expression at Favian.
"Of course because Teacher teaches me a lot of new things. And it was something that I won't be able to learn from another person." Favian said as if it was a matter of fact.
But strangely that Hugo nodded his head as if he agreed with Favian words. Hugo then thought about what he learned from his meeting with Ludger and he agreed that Ludger is teaching him a lot of new things. That's why he respects the boy and calls him Master Ludger.
"Found it!" Ludger happily took a bundle of blank paper and quickly put it in his spatial ring.
"Hmm!? Master Ludger, is that ring has a similar effect to your bag?" Hugo asks with a shining eye because he knows that it will be able to make them rich.
"It was similar but I was the only one able to use it. Now, Hugo. I want to ask you to get some ingredients for me because I will need them for something that I will be trying to make later. You will be able to sell it if I had success creating it." Ludger said while looking at Hugo with serious eyes.
"What are you trying to make, Teacher?" Favian asked with an excited expression.
"You want to create something and sell it!!! What kind of item it is?" Hugo happily asked.
"If I need to explain it, I will be making fermented food." Ludger didn't know how to tell them.
"Huh?! I think I read it in one of your papers, Teacher. But what is the relation of the food with alchemy? It was basically different from each other, right?" Favian asks while Hugo still calculating the possible profit he will be able to get.
"Of course, it was related! For example, I will make some wine and cheese to compare it with the one that already exists in this world later. The ingredients might be similar but the difference is the usage of the magic power or not." Ludger answer.
"But how could make it without any magic power? Didn't you need to create the coagulant liquid that was made by monsters' blood and pour magic power into it?" Favian gets confused.
"It's better to show you directly. Are you able to get some rice or barley?" Ludger asks and looks at Favian to see the ingredient.
Favian show him the ingredients that Hudson has collected. There is no rice but they are able to get barley. Ludger take some of it and wash it with water.
"Can you prepare a container and do you have something that I could use to make a magic circle?" Ludger asks for the thing that he needs.
"Do you need to make a magic circle?" Favian ask.
"I forgot that it needs to be put in a place that needs to maintain its humidity and temperature for at least two days." Luger gives a short answer.
They just watch Ludger do everything by himself silently.
