The appearance of Erin and Judy is just a small episode,

It didn't affect Raymond's mood at all,

As time went on, the atmosphere of the dinner became more and more intense, and the hot dishes changed round after round, becoming more and more exquisite.

At some point, Raymond noticed that there was suddenly a ghostly person around him.

"Come, Raymond... Try this 'giant axe elephant pull'. It's going to make you feel energetic, and young people need this..."

Raymond tilted his head and looked,

An old man with a white beard showed a lewdness that did not match his temperament.

"Old man, you're not over there to host the potions exchange competition, what are you doing here?"

This old man was none other than his cheap master, the head of the Potions branch of Philip House, Aldrich.

Although the master and apprentice have not been together for a long time, they have a very harmonious relationship.

Although Raymond was not polite, he was still full of respect for his teacher.

Although this old man has the temperament of an old naughty boy, he is too good to say anything to himself, a closed disciple.

It's just that

He knew the old man too well.

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.

Aldrich said with a smile on his face: "No, my stomach is a little empty, come and find something to eat." Seeing that you eat so deliciously, come and join in the fun. ”

"Hey, old man, I see the conspiracy in your eyes... Are you going to plot against me again? ”

Raymond said quietly, looking at the delicacies on the plate, and did not hurry to move his mouth.

"Hey, hey... Where can it be? What is calculating... Teacher, I can't care about my closed disciples? ”

Aldrich was also a little old-fashioned.

Raymond squinted, as if he saw through his intentions, and said jokingly: "Didn't you look at the competition and were about to lose, what kind of crooked idea were you going to fight?" ”

"How do you know our academy is going to lose?"

Aldrich's face turned embarrassed, and he quickly changed his words, "Phew, how could we lose..."

He originally wanted to pretend to be tough, but after saying that, his confidence became more and more insufficient.

When Raymond looked at him like this, he knew he had guessed correctly.

Aldridge looked at Raymond's calm expression of knowing the enemy and knowing the enemy, and asked tentatively: "Why, you are not optimistic that Feron can win for a long time?" ”

Raymond shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, bit down on the elephant pull, and said as he chewed, "If Aum Academy sends Arthur on the field, Feron has no chance of winning at all." ”

Aldrich naturally knew the level of Faeron's potions, and as soon as he watched the guy named Arthur make a move, he knew that the gap between the two was too big, and the end was already doomed.

No, he sneaked over, just to see if he could let Raymond play to save the situation.

He listened to Raymond's tone, obviously felt that there was a play, and asked curiously: "Have you heard of Arthur?" ”

"I've heard of it."

Raymond said lazily, "That guy should be at the level of a quasi-two-star potions master by now." There's simply no way Fallon won him over. ”

Aldrich's eyes lit up, and he smiled flatteringly: "Disciple, have you made a breakthrough in potion refining in the past few days?" ”

"It's a little bit new. Hey, hey, hey... Don't try to hit my attention. ”

"Negotiable?"

"I can't."

Aldrich was stunned, but smiled happily.

Apparently Raymond knew better than himself the genius of Aum Academy, Arthur's talent for potions,

But he was still full of confidence, and he didn't look dignified at all, obviously sure that he could defeat that Arthur.

Before, Aldrich only thought that he had accepted a disciple with good talent, but when he came into contact with him, he found out that Raymond was a demon at all!

In just half a month, the level of potion refining of this product has improved rapidly, and it can be said that it is a step a day, which is far from being comparable to the heavenly talent that Fei Lun has piled up with money.

That's the real talent!

He didn't expect Raymond to improve so quickly because of a plug-in. If he hadn't increased the "Concentration and Calmness" to level five, it would have been impossible to have this kind of rapid effect.

Aldrich rubbed his hands together and said in a consultative tone, "That... If the academy loses this competition, I, the dean of potions, will definitely not be able to hold my face... My dear Raymond, you see..."

"Don't even think about it... I won't be in the limelight for this kind of show! You're just saying it's heaven-breaking... I'm not going to go on stage to compete. ”

Raymond rolled his eyes and decisively refused.

He knew that this old guy was going to do this.

Recently, he joined the elite class, and the spit almost drowned him.

Now if you really admit yourself as a disciple of Aldrich,

Is that not an enemy of the people?

Those ruthless old aristocrats have 10,000 ways to secretly put small shoes on him.

Aldrich's eyes rolled, and he also had a thorough understanding of this disciple's temperament.

"It doesn't matter if you lose, communicate... There are losses and wins. But..."

He smiled awkwardly and said, "What's... I made a bet with Dean Anthony, the leader of Orm Academy... If I lose, I'll lose a lot..."

Aldrich was also a little depressed when he spoke.

No wonder Anthony's old guy promised so happily just now, and the stakes were still too big,

It turns out that he has already dug a pit and is waiting for himself to jump.

I don't know where he found the genius boy named Arthur, who has already reached the peak level of a one-star potions master at a young age.

Fortunately, I also have a "demon" hole card in my hand, otherwise I must have been killed by the old guy.

......

Raymond was not at all moved.

He couldn't help but fall into the well, and said quietly: "Old man, your family is so rich, if you lose a little, you will lose a little..."

Hearing this, Aldrich's eyebrows jumped in embarrassment, and he sighed: "If the money loses, it's fine... But Anthony's old thing wants that 'Medicine King's Codex' in my hand. Oh! That's my lifeline..."

"You took that thing for a bet?" Raymond was also taken aback when he heard this.

The "Medicine King's Codex" is a handwritten note left by the legendary Potions Wizard of the Heroic Age, the ten-star Potions Mentor "Igris Seintia".

Now one of the three major trade unions in the world, the Potions Master Guild was established by this legendary figure.

(Note: The Three Great Guilds, the Potions Guild, the Alchemy Guild, and the Mercenary Guild)

This codex is not only very valuable, but also very symbolic, and there is no second copy in the entire Black Sea, and it is a treasure that can be encountered but not sought after for potionsmen.

Raymond estimated that the codex was worth hundreds of millions of quarks if it was taken to the auction house.

"Yo... The old man can... That's a big bet! You are reluctant to show me on weekdays, for fear that I will break it for you, and now you are distressed, right? ”

Raymond didn't waver in the slightest, anyway, the most valuable thing was not his own.

In the end, he didn't forget to mend the knife, and said with a wicked smile: "You deserve it!" ”

Aldrich pretended to be depressed, and almost burst into tears, "My dear Raymond, you can't bear to watch your master and me lose your life?" Oh, I wouldn't have survived without that codex. ”

"Oh, old man, you know me quite well. Hahaha..."

Raymond spread his hands and smiled heartlessly: "That's right, you guessed right, I can bear it!" Alright, old man, don't talk about it, don't get in the way of me eating. ”

“...”

Aldrich looked at this underwhelming disciple, but he was not angry, as if everything was expected.

He also did not continue to play the emotional card, crying miserably and selling poor.

He always has a way to deal with this kid.

Thinking about it, the old man also came to play, and muttered, "Oops... It's a pity. Originally, I was going to give the winning bet to my disciple, but now it seems that I have lost. Anthony's old fellow is the vice president of Aum Academy, the super-rich man of Aum Collar, and it seems that I can't hope to win his baby..."

Raymond's ears pricked up as he listened, and he thought in his heart.

This is clearly a trick.

I'm not going to be fooled!

However, he was really curious, his own old man took out such a priceless thing as a bet, so what was the other party's bet?

Sure enough, before he could speak, Aldrich muttered to himself, "Hey... It's a pity that the 'Weaver's Jewel', the only gem of the Black Sea..."

He was afraid that Raymond had never heard of this thing and didn't know its effect, so he talked eloquently, "The 'Weaver Gem', that is a treasure that can make a potions master enter a state of concentration and concentration..."

Aldrich hadn't finished speaking, and was almost taken aback by this decisive tone.

"Deal!"

Ouch hey,

Just that unyielding expression, is the price not enough?

Aldrich was also a little helpless,

This disciple of his own is good at everything,

But it seems to be a little too stable...

Obviously, you can be a "genius" with unlimited scenery, but you have to be a "waste" for a few years.

He didn't think that this kind of potions talent would pop up overnight.

Even if you have your own careful teaching, and you haven't worked hard to lay a solid foundation, it is impossible to have the great changes that you have now.

......

The reason why Raymond agreed to participate in the exchange competition was not just because the "Weaver Gem" was a rare piece of equipment.

If he's not mistaken, it's like an equip version of the "Calm Mind" skill, which can not only help people quickly enter a state of calming the nerves, but also have a skill CD reduction.

It's a potions master's introductory artifact.

What's more, there's a secret there's still to be hidden!

It hides a rare hidden quest inside,

In the past, there were players in the game who completed this task.

The final reward is..."Potions Secret Codex!" ”

This is the first general book for potions masters compiled by Master Igris after he founded the Potions Masters Guild.

This mission was obtained in his own handwriting, and there was no deletion of the Codex at all!

When the book was published,

The World Government believes that there is some knowledge in the Mystical Archive that should not be known to the world, so it has cut a large part of it.

Even at the current Potions Guild headquarters, it is not possible to find a complete copy of the Potions General Secret Book!

The Mystical Archive records almost all the lifelong research of Master Igris, which covers almost all the mainstream potions faction theories in the world, as well as countless lost potions refining methods and exquisite recipes, and even some secrets handed down from ancient times.

Although Raymond knew that this mission existed, he had no way to find the clue of the "Weaver's Gem".

Now I didn't expect such a coincidence that such a precious key item would be delivered to the door!

seemingly

This Potions Contest,

I must go on stage and show my face.

And

You have to win!

......

Are you finally revealing your identity as a potions master?

Raymond frowned.

He felt that he should have some concerns at this time,

But I feel more,

It seems that some emotions that have been suppressed for a long time in my heart are faintly agitated.
