Chapter 374: Academic Theft
(Na, if you have a ticket to support it, I will try to add more to show you~ haha)
If ordinary people don't have enough profit value to impress the pharmacist master, it is difficult to meet at all, so you can imagine the status of the pharmacist master in the eyes of the world, anyone will have a dying moment, or a serious illness, or a serious injury, what do people need most when they are afraid of death coming to themselves? Undoubtedly, the answer is salvation.
And the master pharmacist is precisely such a person who can save thousands of lives, no matter how serious the injury, no matter how difficult the disease, a dose of medicine down, the injury will be recovered, the disease will be removed, and the life will be saved, how can such a person not be respected by the world.
When Loris arranged a meeting between Xia Lan and the Master Apothecary, she was unexpectedly refused, for the simple reason that the appointment to meet the Master Apothecary was full, and the fastest appointment time was scheduled for three months, besides, the Master Apothecary was not everyone who would accept the appointment!
Xia Lan's solution was simple, he just whispered a few words to Loris, and after she listened to it with a surprised look on her face, Xia Lan went back to report again, and the master pharmacist actually agreed to meet them.
In a moment, Xia Lan and his party were led by Loris to a quiet and elegant room.
The spacious and bright room is clean and tidy, and there are rows of bookshelves placed on the wall everywhere, and in front of the old brown and yellow long table near the window sits an old man who is bowing his head and contemplating.
"Master, Mr. Xia Lan, they are here." Loriss whispered a reminder and hurriedly retired.
"Where's the token?"
When Loriss closed the door and left, the old man looked up. The deep and narrow gaze pierced Xia Lan in front of him like a sharp sword.
Xia Lan raised her hand. A golden token suddenly appeared in his hand and shook in front of the other party's eyes. The old man looked at it and nodded, and said, "It is indeed his token, presumably you are the one he arranged to come over for healing, and let the patient sit over." ”
Xia Lan stepped aside and said to Hermia's mother and daughter, "Please." ”
Hermia's mother and daughter stepped forward a little tremblingly, obviously not very suitable for the environment here, just letting the old man stare at him, the whole body couldn't help but feel uneasy. I don't even dare to say a word, after all, it is normal to ask for others, and to be humble and submissive.
The old man carefully looked at Ms. Andrein, who was sitting close for a while, and within a moment he said directly: "If you become sick from hard work, your organs will fail, and you will definitely die within three years!" ”
When Hermia heard this, she immediately became nervous and panicked: "Master, is there a way for my mother to heal?" ”
"Don't worry, I've treated this disease quite a bit, and I'll have someone notify you to come and get the healing potion in a few days." The old man waved his hand and said, "Okay." You can go. ”
"Master, don't you need to be diagnosed again?" Hermia didn't expect the healing process to be so short and unbelievably short. So she couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"Don't you trust my ability to heal?" The old man's face sank.
"Don't dare, mother, since the condition is expected to be cured, let's go back and wait for the master's news for the time being." Hermia hurriedly hugged her mother and apologized to the old man.
The old man snorted coldly and watched as Hermia and the two left, and when he noticed that Xia Lan was still in the room, he said with a cold face, "Why haven't you left yet?" ”
This was said quite politely, but Xia Lan didn't care at all, he slowly walked to a bookshelf, took down a book casually, and said unhurriedly: "Because I still have some things to talk to you about." ”
"I don't have anything to talk about with you, please leave." The old man gave the order to evict the guests again.
"It seems that Master, you have a lot of anger, do you need me to help you lower the fire?"
The strong aura on Xia Lan's body suddenly enveloped every corner of the room, and the air seemed to drop a few degrees.
"A powerhouse?" The old man sat on the chair and looked at Xia Lan indifferently and said, "No wonder you have the confidence to stay, tell me what you mean!" ”
"I want you to delay the potion you made for that woman."
To achieve the goal of equal dialogue, Xia Lan slowly spoke.
"And then?" The old man believed that Xia Lan wanted to say more than that.
"And then? Then I want you to help me make some potions. Xia Lan said, with an extra piece of paper in her hand, and with a shake of her hand, the paper landed steadily on the old man's desk.
The old man picked up the paper and looked at the contents on it, his face changed, and his gaze became fierce when he stared at Xia Lan.
"Impossible!"
"Impossible? Nothing is impossible. Xia Lan said lightly.
"You should know the value of the materials used to make these potions, even if you have Sir Holebas behind you, I won't compromise and agree!" The old man said angrily.
"Let's make a deal." Xia Lan stuffed the books in her hand back into the bookshelf, and slowly came to the old man's table and sat down.
"Deal? What can you come up with to trade with me? The old man sneered.
"Money and killing." Xia Lan said indifferently.
"I'm not short of money, and I don't have anyone I want to kill!" The old man said expressionlessly.
"I'm afraid not." Xia Lan smiled inexplicably.
"What do you mean?" The old man stared at Xia Lan in an unkind tone.
"Just because you don't say something doesn't mean others don't know." Xia Lan chuckled and said, "I heard that in this academic exchange in Minas, Master Magnison from the Estak Alchemy Society is shining. ”
"It's already a well-known thing in Port Louis." The old man said in a deep voice.
"Yes, while Master Magnison's fame in Port Louis is enjoying the praise of the people, you, who are also masters, sit alone in the guild and are indignant." Xia Lan said meaningfully.
"What exactly do you want to say?" The old man seemed to be impatient.
"I can help you reclaim the glory that rightfully belongs to you!" Xia Lan is colorful. "And all you need is to help me make these potions!"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" The old man glared at Xia Lan and said.
"Do you still have to struggle? Do you need me to say all the resentment in your heart word by word? Xia Lan sneered. The reason why Master Magnison was able to shine in the academic exchange of Minas is simple. Because he stole your research. There is just no clear evidence. So you can only swallow your anger. ”
"Who are you? Why you know this secret! The old man's face changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly.
"Someone who needs to trade with you." Xia Lan said calmly.
The old man stared at Xia Lan for a long time, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Congratulations on your success in moving me!" ”
The old man's name was Baird, and he had made a name for himself in the world of alchemy many years ago, until thirteen years ago, when he finally became an honorable master apothecary, and was invited by the Estak Alchemy Society to Port Louis to focus on academic research. During this time, his reputation grew; Five years ago, he began to concentrate all his energy on overcoming a certain academic problem, as long as this academic problem was completely solved, he would have a good chance of becoming one of the few pharmacist grandmasters in the Elderland continent, but he didn't expect that at this year's Minas academic exchange, Magnison actually publicized his well-kept academic research results, and at this time he knew that his academic research results had been stolen, and he was also his most trusted friend in the association!
Enraged, Baird approached Magnison alone to inquire about it. Magnison pretended to be stupid and insisted on denying the fact that he had stolen Baird's research, and when Baird was about to warn him to threaten him to publicize it. As a result, Magnison's words had to make him suffer humiliation.
"Slandering a future pharmacist grandmaster without evidence, who do you think will have a damaged reputation?"
When the angry Baird returned to the association to report the matter to the president, what made him even more angry was that the president wanted to take an attitude that he couldn't take, how could this make Baird endure his anger?! Just happened to meet Xia Lan and others who came to seek medical treatment, no wonder his temper was so bad!
It is not surprising that Charan knows the secret of Magnes's theft of Baird's research results, there are not many well-known missions in Port Louis in the game memory of the previous life, and the future Hermia is one, and Baird is another, but Baird's mission time is much earlier than Hermia's mission.
According to the original history, Baird finally couldn't bear the fact that the results were stolen and chose to make the matter public, but he was slandered and his reputation was ruined under the joint efforts of Magnison and the president of the Estak Alchemy Association, the key to which was the wonderful debate between Magnison and Baird on the academic research results in the arbitration court.
A farce in which the thief defeated the original author came to an end.
Unwilling to endure this humiliation, Baird did not leave Port Louis after leaving the Estak Alchemy Society, but turned to Sir Hollebas to concentrate on the original academic research, but Magnison's research progress with the help of the president of the Estak Alchemy Society was advancing rapidly, leaving Baird's research progress far behind, and Baird fell into deep despair.
The appearance of the player is to help Baird save his reputation and reveal the actual truth of the year, the mission process can be described as twists and turns, difficult and complicated, although the punishment for failure is just to lose the qualification of the task forever, but once Baird successfully overturns the case, Baird who has obtained the progress information of Magnison and others' academic achievements will be promoted to the pharmacist grandmaster, and give the player a generous reward, including a permanent increase in level, strength, agility and so on special precious potions.
Although the current timeline does not match the original mission time, it is much simpler to help Baird succeed in victory, Baird's failure back then is that he does not know that Manigsen and others have surpassed him in the research progress of academic achievements, and now, Xia Lan, who is familiar with the future history, only needs to help Baird obtain Magnison's latest research progress in advance, Xia Lan believes that this future pharmacist grandmaster can definitely defeat the other party with academics.
The potions that Charlan gave to Baird on paper were the reward potions that Baird had given to the player in the original history, and it is no wonder that Baird's reaction was so violent, as the preparation of these potions was indeed very expensive. (To be continued......)
