Chapter 375: Materials

Soon, under Thork's command, the equipment for the potions competition was arranged.

In Sock's narration, Rhodes also had a general understanding of the rules of the Potions competition.

Here, the initial selection of the Potions Contest will be held to determine who will have a chance to enter the next round of the competition.

This time, there was no theme for the potion, as long as the mage can refine the potion with a positive effect here, they will be able to enter the next round of the competition.

It can be said that this selection is extremely lenient, and basically as long as the mage has mastered the knowledge of Potions and can refine it, he will be able to meet this requirement.

When Rhodes heard this request, he felt that it was too simplistic, like the other mages around him.

Recalling the landscape he had seen in the dungeon in his previous life, the potions competition held by Bracada was much inferior in grade compared to the potions competition held by the group of sorcerers in the underworld.

In the underworld, there are all kinds of potions, and potions are a skill that sorcerers must master. Even an apprentice-level sorcerer can learn to refine decent potions.

It can be said that the requirements of this preliminary round have been low to the lowest point, as long as the mage has a little understanding of potions, he can pass it successfully. The only difference is that there are no materials for this potions competition, and all materials need to be prepared by the participating mages.

What Rhodes didn't notice was that after explaining the rules of the Potions Competition, Sock's face gradually became ugly, according to his thoughts, these mages should not be prepared for the Potions Competition.

Since the Academy's Grand Gala was held at the Ice Blue Spell Academy, Sock had already been informed about the theme of the Grand Event, and had told the Academy's own approved mages about it.

In the annual academy event, the magic academy, which is the host location, is naturally the most advantageous. According to Sock's idea, in this Potions Competition, because the mages of other academies did not prepare in advance, the mages who could enter the finals should also have the most mages from their own academies.

This was also the practice of previous academy events, and since it had always been like this, the mages of the other academies would not have any opinions, but Soke clearly felt that the situation was different this time.

Since Bracada's Potions science had just been revived, it would take a long time to develop before it could get back on track. If these mages didn't receive the message, even if they were asked to refine a bottle of potion, it would not be so simple.

As soon as he said the rules, Sock felt some remorse and wanted to change the rules he had made at the beginning, but he couldn't change what he had just said, so he just let the potions race continue.

Rhodes noticed that the atmosphere of the surrounding mages suddenly became warm after hearing the rules explained by Sock, and they did not expect that the first round of the potions competition, which they had been preparing for a long time, would be so simple.

Soon, the potions competition was fully opened, and many mages came to the field and began to refine potions with the help of the utensils here and the materials they had prepared.

Prior to this, in order to prepare for the various forms of potions competition that might come, Rhodes deliberately collected some materials.

As early as when he got information about the Potions competition from Reese, Rhodes began to collect relevant materials.

In Potions, the materials needed to refine potions do not simply refer to some herbs, and many times, there are also some troublesome things.

The products of Potions, in addition to potions that can bring positive effects, can also be potions that contain strange curses.

In traditional Potions, if you want to put a curse on a potion, some living creatures are essential, similar to lizards, spiders, toads, etc., and are a symbol in Potions.

As for those more powerful potions, the materials required are naturally more demanding, and their recipes are only in the hands of sorcerers, and studying potions is also a common behavior of sorcerers.

In the age of sorcerers, potions were able to have more negative effects than their positive effects, which was the main reason for the eventual decline of potions.

The mages of Bracada once relegated potions to the realm of witchcraft, but it was not until the influence of the mage god waned that potions was redeveloped, and this was the time for the Potions competition.

For this potions competition, Rhodes began collecting materials about potions as early as when he was in Silvercliff City.

It's just that due to the location of Silver Cliff City, even if Rhodes asked Elon to go to the Magic Guild to buy it on his own initiative, he only got some extremely common materials.

It wasn't until Rhodes came to the Ice Blue Spell Academy that things got better.

As if he knew that the academy was about to begin, Rhodes met a large number of mages selling potion materials at extremely high prices.

In this way, Rhodes collected a large number of potions materials according to the potion recipes in his memory, which was enough to deal with this potions competition, and even had some leftovers.

Rhodes also spent a lot of gold to collect these potion materials, but these coins were not very important compared to what Rhodes hoped to achieve.

Most of the materials collected by Rhodes can only be used to refine ordinary potions, and cannot refine some potions with strange effects like those sorcerers.

Different from the potions competition conducted by the sorcerers, although the rules of the potions competition this time do not limit the types of potions that can be refined, but it stipulates that the potions can only have a positive effect, which is considered to prohibit the refining methods of some sorcerers.

The first round of the Potions Contest lasts all day, and during this time, all the mages who come here and complete the Potions will be able to move on to the next round of the competition.

Although Rhodes had arrived here early and was ready to enter the field to refine potions, Rhodes did not immediately start acting, but began to observe the mages who were the first to play.

Rod noticed that in addition to him, there were also quite a few mages, who also did not make any movements, and were closely observing the dynamics on the field.

Just as Rhodes was paying attention to the mages around him, he suddenly noticed a gaze that was looking at him.

Rhodes looked in the direction he was looking in and saw a man dressed as a mage, standing still, looking in his direction.

Seeing that Rod's gaze turned to himself, the man confirmed something, nodded slightly, and then walked over to the field.
