"The Apothecary"

In the third layer of the "Nation of Disorder" real space, Nimrod stared at the three dice in front of him.

His black eyes turned deep and dark, and after a moment, strands of black threads were reflected in his pupils, connecting him to the Dice of Prophecy.

A preliminary connection has been established.

While Nimrod was pondering, he took off the Power Fist on his left hand, placed it there, and continued to establish a connection.

The Primarch returned to the Raft Spider and cut off a piece of its carapace-covered limb.

This limb has no Spirituality remnants and is not an ingredient for a magic potion.

He took out a small storage device specially made by the Lord of the Forge from his backpack, activated the Stasis Field, and put the tissue inside.

Upon returning to the real world, Nimrod received a report from his guards that no other Giant Spirit Spider had been found around the sewage pool.

The Primarch then sent messages to Adams and Rosicky Czech to make arrangements for their return journey.

An hour later, he saw two Shadow of Order in the tower that had not long ago belonged to the Chief Iron Lord.

"The Fourth Legion is temporarily responsible for guarding six star systems of the Orb Weaver League. Death Lord, I hope you can establish a new order here."

"A similar order to Vostonia, but adapted to local realities."

Nimrod recalled the future establishment of a powerful regime by the Hemar Family that would rule Necromunda for a long time, and continued.

"Although Necromunda has a population a hundred times that of Vostonia, as long as you place yourself in a position of arbitration and support the rise of a family, you can establish a system of order."

"Father, I will carry out your orders."

Adams, as always, remained stern and accepted Nimrod's orders.

"Your other responsibility is to excavate the ruins and master the newly acquired power. In this regard, you must work closely with the Lord of the Forge."

Upon seeing the two Shadow of Order simultaneously, the Primarch picked up the storage device from beneath his feet.

"Rosicky, in addition to studying the Warp Gate and the technology left behind by the Orb Weaver League, I also need you to study the biological tissues inside."

The Lord of the Forge took the arm-sized box with both hands and asked curiously.

"The Monarch, where does it come from?"

"The most precious Raft Spider among Giant Spirit Spider."

"I need you to research a method to kill the Giant Spirit Spider without damaging its silk glands, fangs, eyes, and legs."

Nimrod couldn't be sure whether the eyes of other Giant Spirit Spider besides the Raft Spider were ingredients for potions, so he included them directly.

"Adams, once the Giant Spirit Spider is discovered, you organize a hunt."

After arranging matters in Necromunda, the Primarch ordered the Second, Fifth, and 11th Chapter to set off for Vigilant Star.

"Interrogator" Howard Fender extracted the location of the Vigilant Star from the Aeldari Farseer. Nimrod, considering Khaine -Han's Craftworld for fighting prowess among the Aeldari, decided to go and support the Arbites Lord.

As the fleet returned, the main star of the Triken system...

In this Crone World transformed by the Aeldari, even the rugged mountains appear gentle and beautiful.

"Apothecary" Mitchell established his laboratory atop the most lush, pristine mountain peak, and every day before Sun, he would take a walk around the mountain.

Today was no different; the Chief Apothecary, dressed in a black robe, strode along the mountain path.

The Shadow of Order swept its gaze around, occasionally pausing to examine the herbs within its sight.

The most important reason the "Apothecary" chose this mountain was that he discovered numerous primitive herbs here: sage with grayish-green oval leaves, lemon balm with its pale yellow resin exuding a citral scent, and evening primrose that splits into four petals when mature...

Mikel would occasionally stop to use his prosthetic arm to pick herbs, temporarily replacing the surgical forceps with specially designed harvesting tools.

An hour later, his backpack was full of herbs, and the Chief Apothecary immediately returned to the laboratory.

The Apothecary places fresh lemon balm and other herbs on a drying rack and bakes them at a low temperature to remove other parts, retaining only the essential oil components.

He then channeled his Spirituality and used the "Material Adaptation" technique to begin taming the secondary plant.

He placed the sage leaves at the bottom of the mortar, held the pestle vertically, and first pressed it in a gentle circular motion, gradually increasing the pressure as he heard a "shh" sound.

After all the sage was crushed, the "Apothecary" began to grind it finely. He slowly rotated the pestle clockwise, keeping his wrist at a steady arc, and used the texture of the mortar to crush the fibers.

When the leaves turned into coarse particles, he reversed his wrist and made small, rapid counter-clockwise circles to make the powder even and fine.

As the temperature rises, the oil in the leaves seeps out and condenses into tiny oil droplets on the pot wall.

The "Apothecary's" "Material Adaptation" fully mobilizes Spirituality throughout the process, taming plants and lifeless animal materials, making the materials processed by Beyonder Ability more effective than ordinary medicines.

The "Apothecary" then processed the deer antlers and other materials in turn. After preparing all the materials, he began to make the potion.

After weighing all the liquid solvents, he poured them into a large crucible with a diameter of two meters and activated the ignition rune.

Once the liquid boils, add the evening primrose and other ingredients, and finally add the lemon balm essential oil.

The Apothecary picked up a sterilized glass stirring rod and began stirring rapidly.

Fifteen minutes later, he stopped and deactivated the runes.

As the liquid in the pot gradually cooled, a rich, sweet, herbal aroma filled the air.

Mikel picked up the medicine bottle from the side and poured the brownish liquid into it, bottle by bottle.

The filled medicines were neatly placed on a stainless steel reagent rack. As the Chief Apothecary wiped the sweat from his brow, he felt something dissolving inside his body.

He picked up his Control Staff from the shelf, pushed the silver trolley full of reagent racks, and walked to a large marble door.

Mikel raised the Control Staff and pressed the activation rune on its tip.

Green runes flickered, and with a click of the hinges, the marble doors slowly opened.

The Chief Apothecary pushed a silver trolley through the gate, then turned back and closed it with his Control Staff.

Mikel then descended the spiraling passageway.

The Chief Apothecary pushed a silver trolley into the mountainside and arrived at the waiting room where the candidates were gathered. He picked up a bottle of potion with his right hand, shook it, and addressed the group.

"Come to me and line up to get your medicine."

The Warrior of Vostonia looked at the towering giant with suspicion. If they didn't know that Mikel, dressed in black robes and resembling the Monarch, was the Chief Apothecary, they would have suspected him of being a fraudulent and unscrupulous drug dealer.

They are on Path of Ascension; what help could drinking the potion possibly offer?

"While it cannot change your physical condition, it can reduce the risk of rejection."

"This is a unique ability bestowed upon me by the Monarch Majesty."

Upon hearing this, the candidates had no further doubts. They lined up in an orderly queue, received the medicine from the "Apothecary," and drank it down.

After distributing the medicine to all the candidates, the "Apothecary" spoke.

"You will proceed to the operating room immediately to begin the modification surgery."

After speaking, the Chief Apothecary raised his Control Staff and aimed it at a large white alloy metal door.

Runes flashed, the gate opened, and the candidates filed out.

Mikel strode down to the operating room below, took the Data Slate from his attendant, and swiped his fingers to examine the data.

Since I developed a drug to alleviate rejection reactions, the success rate of surgery has increased by 5.2 percent.

However, the emergency medication was not as effective, reducing the mortality rate by only 1.4 percent.

This is the limitation of being a "Apothecary"; in this respect, I am not as good as a "Physician".

As the Apothecary pondered, he began inspecting the operating room.

He had just walked past operating room number four when he noticed that the patient undergoing the modification surgery was trembling.

The "Apothecary" immediately activated his Spirit Sight, pinpointing the exact location before the detection equipment could react. His prosthetic arm then extended towards the surgeon, initiating the rescue.

In operating room Sixteenth, after finishing her surgery, "Physician" Malena Scala walked out of the mountain along the passageway, boarded the airship, and flew towards Farm No. 5.
