Chapter 54 Lathel vs Alec (2)

Lilith spoke up: “If Alec wins this match, I will give him a reward.”

“Hahahaha… Thank you Fifth Elder.” Alec smiled triumphantly, he bowed his head to thank Lilith while glancing at Lathel and Radius with provocation.

“You…” Radius was angry, he wanted to say something but he was stopped by Lathel.

“What the hell are you doing?” Lathel frowned and asked.

“I… I find him so hateful.”

“Ah! He took one look at you and you’ve already lost control like that.”

“I…” Radius was startled when he heard Lathel say that. That’s right, he only looked at me, why did I lose control like that?

He frowned, as he felt extremely strange.

Lathel of course knew it was thanks to the main character’s aura that was lowering all the IQ and EQ of the people around him.

“So… do you have any other conditions?” Lilith said a little impatiently: “If not, let’s start.”

Without waiting for everyone to continue speaking, two trays appeared in front of Alec and Lathel. On the tray was a small piece of paper and some herbs.

“The time is two hours.”

Lilith finished speaking, hugged Charlotte and jumped into the stands. She placed Charlotte’s head on her lap, then she also leaned back on the chair and began to sleep.

Lathel: “…”

Lafien: “…”

Radius: “…”

Alec: “…”

Everyone felt that this was strange, it seems like all this trouble was a meaningless joke.

Lathel sighed, took the tray to a corner of the field, sat down, and began to read the paper carefully.

“Kid, on the paper is a recipe for a medicine that can help the person who drinks it temporarily repel a poison called Moon Poison.”

Cauldron suddenly spoke up.

“Moon poison?”

Cauldron explained: “Uhm! It is a quite rare poison, it comes from a flower of the same name. That flower absorbs energy from three moons for more than 10 years, then blooms.”

“The flower has many uses, but you have to be careful when you pick them. Otherwise, the person who picks the moon poison flower will easily be poisoned.”

“This type of poison will cause the poisoned person to fall into a deep sleep, making it difficult to wake up.” 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝑚

After listening, Lathel felt that this was like a type of poison that paralyzed the nervous system, causing the poisoned person to become a vegetative person.

Cauldron continued: “To prepare this medicine is quite easy, but there is one main step in the refining process that makes this medicine a 2-star level and that is the poison of the moon poison flower.”

“What do you mean… is the poison of the moon poison flower used to detoxify someone infected with it?” Lathel was a little suspicious.

“That’s right. The poison of the poison moon flower, if used in the right dosage and combined with a few other herbs, will become an antidote.”

“This antidote can not only cure the poison of the poisonous Moonflower, but it can also cure several other types of poison.”

“However, to purify the medicinal substances in the poison moon flower is very difficult, and it requires a huge source of energy to maintain.”

“But you can do it”

“Heh?! Why are you so sure?” Listening to Cauldron, Lathel also felt a bit strange: “I don’t know anything about this profession.”

“No, you can do it, thanks to your strange energy. To be honest, it seems like you were born to refine strange medicinal herbs like this.”

Hearing that, Lathel could only nod and reply: “Um… I will try my best.”

“Oy! Did you hear what I said?” Suddenly Radius’s voice rang out.

Lathel turned his head to look next to him, Radius was sitting and looking at him, his eyes a little impatient.

“Do you know what medicine this is? I have never heard of this medicine.” Radius asked.

Lathel nodded and explained this medicine to Radius. After all, he had just heard Cauldron’s explanation and he still clearly remembered the effects and special features of this medicine.

Radius was startled when he heard it: “What the hell is that? I’ve never even heard of a flower called Moon poison.”

He then glanced at the other side, and when he saw Alec smiling confidently and preparing medicinal herbs in another cauldron he was annoyed.

“Oy! Does that bastard know how to prepare this medicine?” Radius asked, in an annoyed tone, he couldn’t believe that a country boy had more knowledge than him.

Lathel shook hid head: “It seems thathe can’t, the ingredients in his tray are different from the ingredients in ours.”

“Damn it!” Radius suddenly shouted: “That’s not fair.”

Lathel sighed and said: “There is absolutely no fairness in the world.”

Hearing that, Radius gritted his teeth. He frowned and looked at Lathel, and suddenly asked: “Why?”

“Heh?!”

“Why are you helping me?”

“What do you mean?”

“AA!!” Radius scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, but then he said: “What I mean is… why did you offer me such favorable conditions? At first I scolded you and that bastard for being country bastards, so why are you helping me?”

Lathel glanced at Radius, smiled and said: “Because you stood up earlier and asked to help me in this competition.”

“That’s because I don’t like that bastard! How could he defeat me? Surely he was just lucky or he cheated.” Radius shouted angrily.

Lathel shook his head: “I don’t care. Since you helped me, I will help you.”

“You…”

Before Radius could speak, Lathel continued: “Radius, I know you are not a bad person. But because you are so young and have achieved so many achievements, your eyes are obscured by a fog.”

“You need time to reflect on yourself, and you need to learn to accept failure.”

“Pride and jealousy are causing your talent to sink deeper and deeper into the mud. Radius, if you accept failure today that does not mean that you will fail for the rest of your life.”

“This just means that you accept that you are not as good as Alec right now. But that doesn’t mean you can’t surpass Alec in the future.”

Radius was startled, he looked at Lathel with eyes full of surprise. At this moment, the image of Lathel in his eyes not only became gigantic but it also radiated a dazzling aura.

Lafien stood nearby. Even though she was bound by Lilith’s magic, she still heard what Lathel said.

She grinned, as she felt that Lathel was a bit special.

In the stands, Lilith suddenly opened her eyes, she looked at Lathel full of excitement and joy, then she closed her eyes again.

Radius gritted his teeth and nodded: “Lathel… up until now, I thought that I was inherently a genius, and that if I was a genius, I wouldn’t need friends.”

“You… will be my first friend.”

Lathel glanced at him, forced a smile and shrugged: “Okay, let’s talk about that later, now I need you to help me heat the cauldron.”

After he finished speaking, he took out Cauldron and threw it forward. The Cauldron instantly grew large, on par with normal cauldrons.

Radius asked suspiciously: “But… I don’t even know what kind of medicine this is or how it is prepared.”

“No problem.” Lathel smiled and said: “I’ve read it, this medicine is quite easy to prepare, it’s just like cooking.”

“Cook? Oy! Are you serious?

“Of course. Extremely serious.”

Radius panicked, he felt like his fate was being teased: “This… Lathel, I think we should discuss the matter again with The Fifth Elder, and change to another medicine, okay?”

Lathel shrugged: “Do you think she would care? Don’t worry, I think I can prepare this medicine.”

Radius: “…”

Radius felt like he was about to cry, what the hell was going on?

Lathel said quickly: “Radius, make a fire.”

Radius sighed and nodded, then he used magic to create a fire. A fire burned beneath the Cauldron, and began to heat it.

Lathel frowned and said: “Oy! Let the fire grow a little stronger, haven’t you had breakfast yet?”

“This… do you know how to refine medicinal herbs? If the cauldron is too hot, when you add the ingredients, it will easily cause the medicinal herbs to burn and cause the medicinal substances inside them to disappear.”

“What are you talking about so much for?” Lathel felt a little troubled and said: “Just do as I say.”

“This…” Radius also felt extremely confused, but he could only do what Lathel said.

Anyway, he didn’t know anything about the medicine they needed to refine, this was the first time he had heard of this medicine.

The fire began to burn stronger, as if it it wanted to burn Cauldron. Of course, Cauldron did not feel the heat at all, he just silently observed Lathel.

“Lathel, do you need me to help you?”

Cauldron’s voice rang in Lathel’s head, he smiled and said: “No need. Regardless, it doesn’t matter whether we win or lose this competition.”

Lathel now acted exactly like Alec, and poured all the medicinal herbs into the cauldron.

“Wait! AA!! What the hell are you doing?” Radius saw Lathel’s actions and shouted: “You…”

“It’s okay, just focus on keeping the fire temperature, I’ll take care of the rest.”

Hearing that, Radius could only sigh, secretly hoping everything would be okay.

Alec saw that Lathel also poured all the herbs into the cauldron and smiled contemptuously: “Lathel, you do not possess Essence Flame or Beast Flame, your action are suicidal.”

Lathel pouted and said: “Ah! I know, I can’t win against you anyway, just use these ingredients to play around a bit.”

“Huh! Stupid!” Alec said contemptuously, then, he began the same process of preparing medicinal herbs as before, while using the Anaconda Flames to melt the medicinal herbs from inside the cauldron.

Lathel was different, the fire only heat the cauldron from the outside, and his fire was magical fire, which was provided and controlled by Radius.

After pouring all the ingredients into the cauldron, Lathel took a deep breath and used his cooking knowledge to refine medicinal herbs.

At this time, he took out a bottle of clean water from his space bag, then poured it into the cauldron.

“AAAA!!!” Radius shouted loudly: “You… you…”

Lathel was startled by Radius’s scream. He covered his ears and said uncomfortably: “Can you be quiet for a bit?” Why do you always scream so loudly?

“You… why did you pour water into the cauldron? You…”

Lathel sighed: “I told you, your task is to focus on controlling the fire according to my will. You don’t need to care about what I’m doing.”

“But…”

“If you keep talking, I will give up.”

“Ack! No, you should keep going. I will be silent and say no more.” Radius assured.

Lathel glanced at him, then focused on the cauldron. Seeing that there was just enough water, he smiled, took out a large wooden spoon, then stirred it well.

“Hahahaha… are you making soup?” Alec laughed loudly, his laugh filled with teasing and contempt.

“That’s right.” Lathel didn’t feel angry. On the contrary, he felt a little happy and said: “Anyway, I don’t know how to refine medicinal herbs, so cooking a pot of soup will be more delicious.”
