On the way, the manservant whispered, "Master Lear, try to be polite, this potions master is trusted by his master, and he has very magical abilities, you should not treat him as an ordinary person, it is very unwise to offend a magician." There are several swordsmen under the master's command who have provoked this potions master, and those who have been punished have been punished, and those who have been driven away. ”

The manservant seemed to be afraid of the potions master, took Lear to the door, and ran away.

Lear walked over to the door and knocked lightly three times. No one opened the door, so he continued to knock, and after knocking nine times, he felt that it was rude to knock again, so he stood at the door and waited.

The sword whispered in his ear: "They all heard it, deliberately dragging you." ”

Lear chuckled, "Many magicians are self-righteous, but now we have a plea for them, so bear with them." ”

Squire Jian continued to mutter: "Hmph, as long as there is a magic laboratory and perfect props, I will steal from those magicians...... Borrowed magical knowledge, in a few years, I will be able to make you an intermediate magic apprentice. However, potions are similar to alchemy, it doesn't mean that you can do it if you know how to do it, otherwise you don't need to ask others at all, I can let you refine medicine. ”

He waited outside for three minutes before a magic apprentice came out.

The magic apprentice quickly glanced at Lear from beginning to end, and when he saw that he was dressed in coarse cloth, he judged that he was just a subordinate, so he asked coldly, "What, what does Lord Baron need?"

Lear smiled, "That's right, I need to refine a potion, and Lord Baron asked me to come to the esteemed potions master." ”

The magic apprentice looked curious and asked, "May I ask if you want to refine the medicine or the baron?"

Lear hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to refine medicine." I am the nephew of Lord Baron. ”

The coldness on the magic apprentice's face suddenly melted, but he remained reserved, and said, "The teacher is resting, it's inconvenient to disturb, if it's an ordinary potion, I can refine it for you." ”

At this time, the magic apprentice regarded him as an existence of equal status, although the status of the magic apprentice was higher than that of the commoner, but he did not dare to pretend in front of the baron's nephew, not to mention that he relied on the baron for food.

Lear smiled and said, "This recipe is more difficult, and you even your teacher needs to study it to confirm it." ”

The little magic apprentice snorted softly, pointed the magic ring in his hand at Lear, and then gently rubbed the ring face, and whispered a spell. The magic ring did not react at all, which proved that the opponent had neither vindictive energy nor magical power.

At this time, the little magic apprentice was a little annoyed, and the mage's sense of superiority was extremely inflated, and he said unceremoniously: "The field of magic is extremely profound, what qualifications do you have to look down on me as a child who has never practiced magic?"

Lear didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, threw the magic bag in his hand to the magic apprentice, and said, "Open it, there is a wooden box inside, and there is a scroll in the wooden box, as long as you know half of the magic words on the scroll, I will apologize to you." ”

The magic apprentice saw what was in his hand, his body shook, and he exclaimed in disbelief: "This is the magic bag! This is the legendary magic bag! It's incredible! It's incredible! This is the second time I've seen ......."

His hands trembled for a long time, and he suddenly bowed at ninety degrees, respectfully held it in his hand and handed it to Lear, saying, "Honorable sir, please forgive me for my rudeness just now, please take back the magic bag, I don't even have the ability to open it." ”

Potions masters may not be as talented as orthodox magicians, so they will make up for it in other ways, and they will have a set of things to look at and deal with. When the magic apprentice saw the magic bag, he immediately realized that the person in front of him was very noble, maybe even no less than Baron Humphrey, so his attitude took a 180-degree turn.

Lear thought the apprentice was good, took back the magic bag, and said, "Can you take me to your teacher?"

"Yes, the teacher will be very happy. The magic apprentice hurriedly made a gesture of invitation, still bent over, not daring to look up.

"What's your name? My name is Lear. Lear said, pulling out five gold carats and handing them over.

"Baker. Dear Lord Lear, my name is Baker, and thank you for the reward. Baker's face flushed with excitement, and he respectfully took the gold carat with both hands.

Magical apprentices look enviable, but in fact they are just the chores of those magicians, who only care about their food and lodging, and can receive up to seven or eight silver pounds a month, and their income is only one gold carat. The "potionsmen" who lived here were very stingy, giving each magic apprentice only five silver pounds a month.

Baker takes Lear outside the Potions Master's lab and asks him to wait and go in first.

After a while, Baker came out and said, "Teacher, please come in." ”

"Thank you. Lear walked in, and Baker went to leave the lab on his own initiative.

The door of the laboratory has a pale blue film of light, and Lear has heard of this magic device, which is the "dust removal door", which is used by many nobles. He slowly touched the light film, and then passed through, and when his body touched the light film, all the dust on the surface was sucked away by the light film.

This laboratory is very large, more than 400 square meters, surrounded by rows of cabinets, in the middle of which are various experimental tables, which are full of magical instruments.

A fat magician stood in front of the laboratory table, slowly refining medicine, his overly fair face, dexterous hands, and high belly made him look more like a wealthy merchant than a magician.

He didn't mean to greet Lear in the slightest.

Lear immediately understood that the potions master was posturing in order to take control of the conversation that followed. He didn't understand the potions master's intentions, but he was starting to get a little dissatisfied, so he found a place to sit down and talk to the sword......

It took about ten minutes before the potions master put down the magic instrument in his hand, turned his head to look at Lear, and then smiled with a look of self-reproach, "It's rude for me to keep you waiting so long. But you should know that magicians are the greatest of all, and we can't help ourselves. ”

Lear suddenly sneered, "The badge on your chest is a junior potions master's badge?"

The potions master said proudly, "Of course." ”

Lear suddenly changed color, slapped the table, and said angrily: "Fraudster! I will send you to the gallows with my own hands! You are just a trainee potions master, and you are insulting magic by forging a junior potions master badge! No, you are not worthy of the gallows, you must be burned at the stake, you despicable trainee potions!"

The Potions Master was so frightened that his face turned pale, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his left hand, and pointed at Lear with his right hand trembling: "You, you, you are a fraud, a fraud! You are not even a magician, how can you tell the truth of my badge! You are a fraudulent! You don't have to intimidate me, Baron Humphrey knows everything about me!"
