Rejuvenator

"That's great, Your Majesty. Just a single portion of this herb was able to make more than a dozen pills of equivalent size and weight...!"
"This would make the community who are not feeling well accept these medicine when it's being distributed from the hospital after the check-up."
Maria was ecstatic towards the outcome of the experiment and the quality of the product and the quantity of the pills was beyond compare. She was expecting a batch of half a dozen pills but through my process, I was able to make double the amount.
Normally for a single stalk of herb ingredient, the least the herbalist could make would be 3 pills after they had processed it through manually. This process includes cleaning, stripping, categorising, pounding on the mortar and pestle, brewing and finally the end product.
Most of the time, the herbalist would have to gamble between medicine or even poison because these traditional methods of preparing these type of medicine need to be taken with great care...!
She carefully counted and stored the pills and she went into the room to retrieve something else. "Wait a while, Your Majesty, I do have a request from Crystal and she wanted me to make these pills for her livestock."
A while later after she went to her room, she came out holding a basket of a variety of herbs. When I saw the number of herbs, I knew a herbalist would have a difficult time to control the heat, mix the ingredients and then produce the pills they required.
She placed the basket near me and sat before us as she said, "Your Majesty, these herbs play an important role in the reproduction of the livestock here in this town. We have dairy cows, sheep, pigs and goats and they needed an extra persuasion to reproduce since they are not actually in the wild and this concoction of pills would make both the make and female mate in order to inseminate the female."
"As you can see, we can only prevent accidental insemination if we tie the bollocks of the ox and bulls but right now we wish to let them freely do it. It is already mid-Autumn and what Crystal had in mind was to feed them with this concoction so they would be in the mood for it."
"This pills could be ingested by both the female and male species that I had mentioned. The gestation period for a cow would be 280 days long while the sheep and goat would be 150 days long. The pigs would gestate in 115 days time period."
I didn't know that a dairy cow would be pregnant for so long...! It's almost like a human being at 9 months period to give birth to a single calf or two, if one is lucky...!
"Would you mind helping us to produce these pills by your method once more, Your Majesty?" Maria seemed to plead with us and I agreed immediately.
Since there was nothing much to do and making pills through thought was considered as a boost for the economy and to populate the livestock, what wrong could it be?
"Alright then, I think you need to standby a clean basket once the pills are done. These herbs had bend cleaned and washed beforehand right? We won't want any impurities to enter the pills during the process."
I inquired as I held the basket towards my level where I could easily reach in as Heather was standing by beside me, always ready to render her assistance to me. She was practically awed when she saw the pills and she wanted to help process the pills as I concentrate on the furnace itself.
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty. It's really a boon to have such miracles happening in our town, especially for my husband alike and to the livestock too. I am pretty sure that Crystal would be glad for your assistance."
Maria and Priest Hendry thanked us as I began to prepare my friendly fire on my left palm as Heather grabbed a few stalks of the herbs in the basket and gets ready to throw them in all at the same time.
The furnace seemed to know what kind of herbs had been placed and was able to produce the pills that they wanted. It's a good thing because it would be a chore to learn all the hundreds of herbs names and uses and only Priest Hendry was able to detect certain elusive herbs through his grey out world.
As the friendly fire was jumping about in my left palm, Heather grabbed a few herbs and gently fed it in. Immediately when the herbs entered the furnace, the flame jumped about a little.
Heather had one kind of look on her face and was literally sticking her tongue at the sides of her mouth as she fed the herbs into the furnace. Be it grass, clumps of soil or even dead or withered whatnot, she just tossed the herbs she had grabbed from the basket and directly into the fire.
Then the tiny friendly flame on my left palm flared up once again as it worked its magic and as more herbs were fed into it, the flames remained constant at a certain height and intensity as it processed all the herbs inside the furnace.
At this period of time, everyone could even smell the herbs that were being processed inside the furnace and it was rather earthy and sweet at the same time.
It took some time for Heather to finish the whole basket of herbs into the furnace and once she had completed the work, Maria handed a clean basket lined with a linen cloth to Heather.
Heather then placed the basket lined with the linen cloth underneath the furnace to get ready in welcoming those pills after it had been processed.
Heather was beckoning with her hands at the sides to let the pills flow out and I could clearly see it at the corners of my eye. When I glanced at her, she simply smiled at me and hid her hand that she was gesturing earlier.
Soon after, in a few minutes time, the ane started to flare once again and seemed to indicate to me that the pills would be ready to be collected.
I tilted my left hand at a slight angle and some pills begin to drop out from my palm and into the basket. Everyone's eyes were as wide as lemons and the trickle of pills slowly came out from the palm and into the readied basket.
The whole process from start to finish was done in about 15 to 20 minutes as mounds of pills begins to gather underneath the furnace.
Maria and Priest Hendry gasped at the amount and thought that it would be like some dozens but instead, it was two to three times as much...!
The furnace and process of pills through thought do not waste a single strand of herb and everything was calculated within the furnace to concoct the best mix possible.
After the last trickle of pills had been pouted out from my left palm, the quantity of the pills were as much as the number of herbs that were within the basket earlier...!
"By Golly...! These pills could never have been more perfect. Its the same weight and size again and we better place it in a safe place."
"Ooh... These pills are still warm to touch. It's not even wet at all and once it's cooled, it could be stored away and would be given to the livestock accordingly manually."
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty. Your support had never been so timely and this process was like a few days worth of work and refining the herbs...!"
"Your special abilities is one of a kind...!"
I was praised and I felt flattered and I could feel my head swell considerably as Heather was there beside me and holding my head in a headlock to keep it from inflating...! Hahaha...!
"So what would you name your pills for the healing of prolonged cough and flu and for the livestock?" Heather asked with interest as she had witnessed the pills through thought processes and was simply elated that I had somehow been imbued with a flame within my back of my mind that would be able to help the community.
"I am not sure of what to name the first one, Your Majesty. What would you choose to name for the second one?" Priest Hendry replied as he took his journal out and placed a pill on between the journal and pressed it flat to make some kind of pastille shape.
"I want to call it Miss V. V for virility. Would that be fine?" Heather stood upright when she answered it like as if she had answered a difficult question in a classroom...!
"Yes...! It would be great...! Miss V it is... Although it could only be used by livestock and not humans... Hahaha. I wonder what would happen if a human digest a single pill, and what are the consequences it would be, right?" Maria was elated and both ladies in the house was literally clapping their hands in glee.
"Better store it carefully and away from humans, alright? We won't want any accidents to happen unnecessarily like poisoning, for an example." I advised as both Maria and Priest Hendry nodded their heads in agreement.
Pills of this kind of potency should be handled by a single person and the best person would be Crystal herself.
"By the way, is the herbal farm attended by you alone or with the rest of the Irish Travellers? It's the same size as the corner herb farm that we had back then at the town square, am I right?"
I asked since earlier I could see most of the herbal farm had been cleared and stored in the cold storage since winter is coming and certain shoots and roots would not be able to grow in wintry weather.
"It's being maintained and cares for by the rest of the herbalist, Your Majesty. What do you have in mind?" Maria asked since she had learnt from Priest Hendry about the Psi orbs that could be used for healing and rejuvenation for those who drink the water that had been imbued with it.
"Well, could you fetch me a bucket of water and also standby for me a keg of water outdoors."
"I would like to make some Psi orbs and drop them into the bucket and transfer to the keg outdoors. In this way, I would like to see how the progress for the healing and rejuvenation of these plants even in autumn and winter."
" I know that there are still roots waiting to sprout new tenderlings once Spring arrives, but it's just an experiment I wanted to see for myself. Would that be alright?"
Maria nodded as she went to fetch a bucket of water while Priest Hendry asked if I need any help with anything. "It's alright, Hendry. I would be able to conjure up as many Psi orbs I could while sitting here."
"Since I could at most conjure up 3 orbs on the last attempt, I would like to see if the Psi orbs would be poured out from my hands just like how I did with the pills."
"That would be the utmost breakthrough...! Hahaha...! If this experiment works, then I might be on to something. Just a thought though..."
Was I being greedy or what?!
I replied and Priest Hendry just smiled at my since I guffawed out like a madman who had only world domination in my mind. Hahaha...
We had the fruit tea that was served and engaged in small talk as the bucket of water had already been placed before me.
Since I was wearing my armour and all the trinkets, I do not seem to be short of mana and I'm sure that the last experience of depleting my mana pool would not happen again this time.
Besides, Heather was the first time witnessing these and she would be most excited to see those bluish orbs coming out from my hands later.
