Alchemy laboratory at Wimble Castle.

On the smooth stone floor, there are dark green patterns, clusters of ...... This is the family crest of the Wimble family, green alfalfa grass.

A dozen shelves were sparsely arranged near the workbench, and bright yellow candles glowed softly on the walls on all sides.

The last young woman in a white wizard's robe was busy standing at the workbench, chanting incantations, wisps of black smoke rising from the cauldron in front of her, and the impurities were almost removed, just the last step.

She had a pretty complexion, younger than her age, a wheat-colored complexion, completely different from the pale complexion of the usual lab wizards, and her long hair was tied back in the shape of a ponytail, looking more like a samurai than a wizard.

This person is none other than Merlin.

Several wizard apprentices of the Wimble family were very ordinary in refining potions, so the herbs obtained from Silver's laboratory became the materials for Merlin's practice...... With Merlin's level, refining potions is a matter of handy, if it is the Wimble family themselves, even if they have these materials, they don't know how much it will cost to turn them into the potions they need, and those powerful pharmacists are not as generous as Merlin - only charge two-thirds of the normal price.

"It's done. Merlin finished reciting the last set of incantations, and the boiling potion in the pot gradually subsided.

After filling the blue potion into the test tube, Merlin cleaned up the crucible as well.

There was a soft 'squeak', and the door to the lab opened.

"Lord Merlin, has the potion succeeded?" a witch apprentice walked into the room, it was Zia. She was still covered in gray wizarding robes, and her long, supple brown hair was tied back like Merlin's. Although it is difficult to show the graceful figure of a girl when worn on the body, Zia is ingenious and ties a belt around her waist, which does not look like a wizard is dull, but shows a little bewitching, especially the two towering balls on the chest, almost jumping out of the wizard robe.

"It worked. ”

Merlin handed over the blue potion, "You have to think about it, take the Azure Water to become a full-fledged mage, and you will never have a chance to be promoted to a second-level mage in the future." ”

"This is the sorrow of the little family. With these potions as a foundation, the descendants of the Wimble family still have a chance. "Ziya can't help it. Although this time the Madiston family was solved, the Wimbles also lost a third-level apprentice and several second-level apprentices.

Now that Merlin has refined a large number of potions, the family masters Brandi and Zia can successfully advance to the third-level apprenticeship, but the overall strength of the Wimble family has declined. Fortunately, this time I got enough rich medicinal materials, and in the Wimble family, there is an ancestral medicine recipe called 'Azure Water'. A Level 3 apprentice, after taking this Azure Water, has a 90% chance of being promoted to a full-fledged wizard. However, there is a price to be paid for taking shortcuts, and although taking Azure Water has a great chance of becoming a full-fledged wizard, you will never be able to advance again, even if you are absolutely talented.

This potion recipe has been retained in the Wimble family for several generations, but unfortunately, several medicinal herbs in it have become extinct, and the Wimble family does not have a suitable pharmacist who can refine this potion...... They didn't even dare to let people know that there was a recipe, lest they become the target of murder and looting.

That is, Mei Lin, who refined a lot of potions for their family and won the trust of the Wimble family. However, as one of the exchange conditions, Mei Lin also copied a copy of this potion formula.

"Ziya, you came over today for this azure water?" Mei Lin successfully dispensed the potion, and her heart was naturally happy.

In fact, there are a total of three materials to be prepared for refining Azure Water, and according to the example, Merlin only needs to be able to refine one. In fact, she succeeded in refining three copies, but the first two were made with the help of external forces, and only this last one was successfully refined by her own strength after summarizing the lessons of the first two failures. However, those two azure waters were of other use, and she didn't have to explain them to Zia.

"Two days ago, the family's guards discovered that a clouded leopard appeared in the forest near the castle, causing a lot of trouble to the passing caravan and nearby residents. My brother has contacted several families to prepare to go to the cleanup, do you know if you are interested?"

"Clouded Leopard?" Merlin pondered slightly.

The body of the clouded leopard is similar to that of a normal leopard, but the fur is grayish-white, and it has a unique stomach pouch in its body, which is capable of producing a mucus that rapidly expands and vaporizes when it encounters air. The most troublesome thing is that this vaporized substance, after coming into contact with the organism, will quickly form a thin film on the surface of the creature's skin, and the most frightening thing is that if this gas is inhaled into the lungs, they will also quickly condense - the result is suffocation.

The clouded leopard is full of treasures, but for wizards, the most important thing is its stomach, blood and eyes, especially its eyes, with a little refining, it is a very useful magic weapon, which can see through all invisibility or illusion. Moreover, its fur is an important material for making high-resistance leather armor

Clouded leopard is not very common in this continent, but there are quite a few of them.

"It's the first time I've encountered a clouded leopard in real life, so of course I'm going to see it. Merlin nodded.

"My brother has already scheduled to leave in the afternoon, and since you are also interested, I will inform them immediately. Zia smiled, turned and walked away quickly.

In fact, Mei Lin also saw that the brother and sister were trying their best to maintain a good relationship with her now...... Aside from everything else, Mei Lin is not only an excellent alchemist, but also a good pharmacist, and these two points alone are enough to win over the brother and sister.

However, Mei Lin didn't mean to agree, refining potions, it was a matter of two benefits, but Mei Lin would not tie herself to a small family, so she pretended not to understand, what is her love!

"Clouded Leopard ......," a hint of joy appeared on Merlin's face. "If I can get the clouded leopard's stomach pouch, eyes, and blood, and then after my processing, I will definitely have two more treasures.

......

Night falls.

More than ten kilometers away from Wemble Castle, a small caravan was on its way overnight.

"Hurry, hurry! If we don't get into town in time tonight to rest, it's going to be dangerous!" said the boss sitting at the front of the convoy.

Suddenly, a strange aura emanated from the trees ahead, and in the darkness, two strange eyes stared at them...... (To be continued.) )
