Constantino	What do you want? I'm not giving anything away.
Me	I'm looking to become an apprentice.
Constantino	Really? And with whom are you going to sign up?
Me	I'm in need of healing.
Constantino	(curtly) Why, are you injured?
Me	Yes.
Constantino	Go to Vatras then, he'll patch you up all right. And stop bleeding all over my floor!
Constantino	There's barely a scratch on you and I have more important things to do than talk to you.
Me	Not really.
Constantino	Get lost, then, or you may well suffer an injury.
Me	Can I sell you some herbs?
Constantino	If you have any to offer ...
Me	Show me your wares.
Me	I want to sign up with you as an apprentice.
Constantino	With ME? No! I have already had the dubious pleasure once of grappling with an apprentice. That's quite enough for me.
Constantino	I invested several years in his education, and in the end the poor fool up and poisoned himself.
Constantino	Go sign up with one of the other masters!
Me	I want to sign up with one of the other masters.
Constantino	You have come to ask my approval?
Constantino	Hm - as far as I am concerned, you can sign up with whomever you like.
Constantino	Well, you're not going to get it! The things I've heard about you do not speak for you.
Constantino	I shall not vote for a criminal such as yourself to attain an honorable position in our town.
Constantino	Until you have settled this matter with the commander of the city guard, my answer shall be no!
Me	What will I have to do to become YOUR apprentice?
Constantino	(sighs) I couldn't bear yet ANOTHER dilettante on my conscience.
Constantino	There is a multitude of herbs out there. Used in different variations, they develop the most diverse effects.
Constantino	You probably don't even know half of them.
Constantino	(sighs) Here - this is a list of the most important plants.
Constantino	Bring me a plant of each kind, and I might reconsider taking you in as an apprentice.
Me	About the plants ...
Constantino	If you cannot handle that by yourself, you won't be any good as an alchemist either!
Me	I've got all the plants I was supposed to bring you!
Constantino	What? You're pulling my leg, right?
Constantino	By Adanos! It's all there all right.
Constantino	Who knows, maybe some day you could make a decent alchemist after all.
Me	I see.
Me	Can I become your apprentice now?
Constantino	As far as I am concerned, yes.
Constantino	All that matters to Harad is that you will be able to defend the city if it is attacked by orcs.
Constantino	And it looks like you've got him convinced of that.
Constantino	But he thinks you are a coward.
Constantino	But Harad claims he has never seen you before.
Constantino	Bosper has been quite reluctant to comment on your qualities.
Constantino	I suppose he would like to take you on as an apprentice himself.
Constantino	But he still agreed in the end.
Constantino	To withhold one's approval for this reason is certainly not an honorable thing to do!
Constantino	But if all other masters approve, you won't need his vote.
Constantino	And Bosper doesn't know you yet.
Constantino	Thorben is a very religious man.
Constantino	He has given you his blessing. That is a good sign.
Constantino	He will only give you his approval with the blessing of the gods.
Constantino	Thorben does not know who you are.
Constantino	As for Matteo - he's singing your praises high and low.
Constantino	Matteo says there's still something you owe him. If you want his vote you had better take care of that little matter.
Constantino	Matteo says he has not yet talked to you about this.
Constantino	Matteo says he has never seen you in his shop before.
Constantino	This means you have the approval of all masters!
Constantino	You now have the approval of four masters. That will suffice for you to be accepted as an apprentice.
Constantino	Are you ready to begin your apprenticeship with me?
Constantino	You need the approval of at least four masters in order to be able to start an apprenticeship in the lower part of town.
Constantino	This means that you should talk to all those who do not quite approve of you yet.
Constantino	(irritated) No way! I have heard rumors that you stand accused as a criminal here in Khorinis!
Constantino	I shall not take you on as an apprentice until you have settled this matter with the commander of the city guard.
Me	Yes, Master.
Constantino	(sighs) All right then! I hope I'm not going to regret this decision.
Constantino	From this moment, you may consider yourself my apprentice.
Me	I need to sleep on it first.
Constantino	All right! If you cannot really put your heart into this, you should choose a different calling.
Constantino	(irritated) I refuse to instruct you any further as long as you are accused of a crime in town.
Constantino	Go to Lord Andre and set matters right again.
Constantino	So you have joined the militia? I've already heard about that.
Constantino	Get yourself apprenticed in a hurry, and then up and join the militia? I'm not going to make it that easy for you.
Constantino	I expect you to stick to our agreement and bring me plants and mushrooms on a regular basis.
Constantino	If it's too much for you to work two jobs at once, you'll just have to sleep less!
Constantino	I see you have entered the service of Innos. I guess that means that, from now on, you cannot spare a lot of time just to fetch herbs for an old man.
Constantino	Still, I consider it a great honor to have supported you on your way.
Constantino	If, in spite of your new duties, you should find the time to occupy yourself with alchemy, you can always be sure of a warm welcome here.
Constantino	What have you been up to?
Constantino	I expect more of my apprentice than just dropping in at my place once in a blue moon!
Constantino	Did you at least bring me some mushrooms?
Constantino	There you are again...
Me	What are my tasks?
Constantino	I realize that I cannot expect a young man to spend all day indoors with me.
Constantino	From time to time, you shall bring me the plants I need. In return, I shall instruct you in the art of alchemy.
Constantino	You can buy the bottles from me. Most of the ingredients, however, you will have to get for yourself.
Constantino	And I expect you to behave properly as a citizen of this town.
Me	What plants am I supposed to bring?
Constantino	I shall buy everything you bring me - and I'll pay the usual price.
Constantino	For mushrooms, however, I shall pay you a special price.
Me	You wanted mushrooms ...
Me	I've got a few murky mushrooms here ...
Constantino	Ah! Those are the best! Well done! Here's your gold!
Me	And here are some of the others ...
Me	I've got a few mushrooms here!
Constantino	These are not quite as good as murky mushrooms, but I'll take them anyway.
Me	Why are those things so important?
Constantino	Even though you are my apprentice, I won't tell you everything.
Constantino	All right - I shall tell you, then. But you must keep it to yourself.
Constantino	Murky mushrooms are full of magic energy. And every time you eat one, a little bit of this energy will accumulate in your body.
Constantino	Once you have eaten a sufficient amount of these mushrooms, your magic energy will increase ...
Constantino	If I had told you that earlier, you would have gobbled up all the mushrooms yourself, wouldn't you?
Me	(sighs) Oh, man!
Constantino	You have already asked me that. (mischievously) Who knows, maybe some day I'll actually tell you...
Me	I'm going to bring you some ...
Constantino	Great! Bring me as many as you can find ...
Me	Instruct me in the art of alchemy!
Constantino	All right. Basics first.
Constantino	Each potion is made of plants - they possess all kinds of powers.
Constantino	They do nothing but put all their power into growth - and modifying this power is what the art of alchemy is about.
Constantino	To prepare a potion at the alchemist's bench, you need a laboratory flask.
Constantino	You need to know the correct formulation and have the appropriate ingredients.
Constantino	There are quite a few formulations I could teach you.
Constantino	Potions which restore your lost strength, and even potions which affect your strength permanently.
Constantino	You cannot learn everything at once.
Me	I'm looking for new recipes for potions.
Constantino	Do you have any previous experience with alchemy?
Me	Yes, I do.
Constantino	Yet you are still alive ... those aren't bad qualifications.
Constantino	I think I can tell you a few formulations. It depends, of course, on what you want to know.
Me	What recipes can you teach me?
Constantino	I'm sorry. There is nothing else I could teach you.
Constantino	I know a few - make your own choice.
Constantino	The ingredients for an essence of healing are healing plants and meadow knotweed.
Constantino	To prepare a healing extract, you need healing herbs and meadow knotweed.
Constantino	Be sure to heat that extract very carefully.
Constantino	Creating an elixir of healing takes quite a bit of experience.
Constantino	You need healing roots and meadow knotweed. Take special care when heating it this time.
Constantino	The elixir of life! A rare brew. Not so much because of the effort - the potion actually isn't all that hard to make.
Constantino	But the ingredients are very rare. You need healing roots and king's sorrel.
Constantino	The essence of magic is the simplest of magic potions.
Constantino	Take fire nettles and meadow knotweed and heat them slowly.
Constantino	Since you can already prepare an essence of magic, with a little effort you should be able to produce an extract as well.
Constantino	You need to put the right kind of feeling into decocting that brew. Use fireweed and meadow knotweed for this potion.
Constantino	The elixir of strength! An excellent potion. You need the rare dragonroot and king's sorrel.
Constantino	When boiling the brew, don't let the bubbles get too big or you'll be in for a nasty surprise!
