As the only city lord here, Mandy, who has a deep connection with the city lord, has undoubtedly become the leader of these mages who have come to Ao City, and his status is obviously higher.

However, Mandy was not happy about his ascension, but instead regarded this rise in status as a responsibility for himself, as well as the importance that other mages valued him.

Driven by his responsibility, he wanted to act as a representative of the mages who came here, and to fight for a higher status for the lords of this place, for the mages who refined potions.

Conducting the study of potions will cost a lot of gold coins, and the amount of gold required for the collection of refining materials alone is enough to stump many mages, not to mention that in the process of exploring refining methods, it will be accompanied by failures again and again, which will consume a lot of refining materials.

In the past, even a lord in Bracada could not fully supply all the materials needed by potions refiners, and only the real magic academy could do this, and only the real magic academy could conduct potions research wantonly.

Mandy knew that the treatment that their group of potion refiners could obtain in the city was directly related to how much the lords of the place valued them. Whether or not the lords of this place can value themselves also determines the amount of refining materials they can obtain in the next time.

For some lords who don't value potions, they are not willing to invest a large amount of gold coins in the bottomless pit of refining potions, even if the refiners of potions will regularly let them harvest some finished potions, but how can the efficacy of these potions compare to the actual effects brought by swords and armor.

Among these potions refiners, many of them have a high level of attainment in potions, but their real strength can only be regarded as the existence of mage apprentices, and perhaps it is precisely for this reason that it is more difficult for them to give up the study of potions.

Because of this, in the face of the lord Rhodes introduced by Elon, Mandy needs to find a way to make him understand the importance of potions, so that he can win more benefits for the potions refiners who come here.

What he didn't expect was that in his words, Rhodes pointed out the current situation of these potion refiners, that is, they were expelled by Bracada, and there was almost no other place to go.

Mandy had intended to use Bracada's status as an orthodox Potions student to make the lords of the place understand the importance of Potions, but in this situation, he was clearly unable to do so.

Even Bracada no longer acknowledges the existence of potions, and Mandy's statement will only seem extremely empty, and even what he no longer believes in will naturally not be able to impress the lord in front of him.

Naturally, Mandy didn't want this information to be known to the lords of the place, and being banished by the forces of Bracada and accepting Elon's invitation to come here were two very different meanings.

Because of this, when he first heard Rod propose that the refiner of potions was in a bad situation, Mandy flatly denied it, so as to avoid the lord from despising potions in his heart because of this matter, but in the face of the magic guild in Rod's words, Mandy had no way to refute it.

Such an important information, even many mages released by Bracada, did not understand, was actually said by the lord in front of him, it seems that the lord is not less concerned about matters related to potions, for a while, Mandy did not know how to respond.

At this moment, recalling some information in Elon's original words that had been ignored by himself, Mandy seemed to sense something, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

"Wait...... Elon said that you were the champion of the last Potions competition......"

In Mandy's voice, there was a faint tremor, and some things that he had ignored suddenly flashed in his mind, bringing him a great shock.

As a mage who studies potions, Mandy naturally paid attention to the last potions competition, but due to the lack of refining materials, he was eliminated early in the morning.

Although she didn't see the final in person, Mandy got a glimpse of what was going on through the information that some of the other mages were talking about.

According to what Mandy learned, the championship of the potions competition was won by an unknown necromancer, and the necromancer was eventually missing, and no one could even prove the necromancer's existence except for the mages present.

The necromancer who won the championship, his name did not spread throughout Bracada, and the Magic Academy and the Magic Guild withheld information about this necromancer, but instead it was Northon's name, known by other mages.

Regarding the Potions Contest's winner, Mandy couldn't even get any more information other than that he was a necromancer.

At this time, after learning from Elon's mouth that Rhodes was the champion of the Potions Competition, Mandy was stunned for a while, he couldn't believe that the lord in front of him was actually the champion of the entire Bracada Potions Competition, and the sense of absurdity in his heart made Mandy completely unable to believe the situation in front of him.

Instinctively driven, Mandy looked at Elon on the side and asked, "Didn't your letter say that the lord is just a lover of Potions?" ”

Hearing Mandy's words, Elon was also stunned for a moment, obviously not thinking of the situation in front of him: "Didn't you pay attention to the situation of the Potions Competition?" I thought you understood what I meant. ”

Seeing the reactions of the two in their eyes, the existence of the peeping eye made Rod realize that this was what they really thought in their hearts.

As early as when he met Mandy, Rhodes confirmed the current situation of those potion refiners in Bracada through the thoughts in his heart.

As Rhodes had predicted, the Magic Guild had begun to purge Bracada of all matters, from the necromancers after the end of the first expansion, to the current potions refiners, and later the elemental creatures, all of whom would be banished from Bracada.

Rhodes recalls that in the second expansion pack from his previous life, when undead creatures began to spread in the center of the continent, Bracada did not send mages to help, but instead expelled all creatures that affected the purity of the spell from the territory.

The one who gave all these orders was the current president of the Magic Guild, Eli, whom Rhodes had seen on the airship.

In order to restore the glory of the mage god and restore the original purity of the spell, Eli made this move, expelling all mages who did not meet the standards, and in the process of expelling the elemental creatures, Bracada was plunged into a civil strife with far-reaching consequences.

In Rod's memory, it wasn't until the end of the second expansion that the magical mages led by Dekkon appeared, which ended the civil strife in Bracada.
