Chapter 200: Invisible Pretending (for Book Friends 160104150926872 Update)
"You say the 'ghost' is the apprentice of the blind Eriksson?"
Others don't know who the apprentice of the blind Eriksson is, but Aldrich does!
At the beginning, because he wanted to learn swords from the old blind man, his apprentice often asked him for leave not to learn potions. At the beginning, he complained a lot about this.
It was a long time before the old man strung together the shocking and "ridiculous" news that he had just received in his mind.
"Ghost" is the apprentice of the blind Eriksson... And according to him, the old blind man had only one disciple... Is it Raymond, who is also his disciple?
To put it this way... His disciple not only killed the second prince Bantu, but also related to the assassination of the eldest prince?
What has he experienced in the past two years?
Thinking of this, Aldrich felt that the blood of this old man, which had not been stirred for decades, was uncontrollably excited at this moment, and his face was faintly flushed.
If Raymond is really a "ghost", he is really relieved!
He didn't speak, but glanced at Raymond, the inquiry in his eyes obvious.
Raymond smiled wryly and nodded, this old man was one of his most trustworthy people.
"He's really a 'ghost'..."
Seeing that his disciple acquiesced, Aldrich involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of water, as if his face was paralyzed, and he didn't know what expression he should show at this moment.
Could it be that he assassinated the prince to avenge the war of Philip's collar back then?
Probably...
At first, he heard that his favorite little Irene also died in the war.
At this time, Boggs also saw that Aldrich's face was a little strange, and said with concern: "Aldrich, what's wrong with you?" It can't be the fake wine last night, right? Why is your face so ugly..."
"Oh, I'm fine."
Aldrich exhaled deeply, and the flush of excitement on his face slowly faded.
He knew that his disciple was a "ghost", and he must not let others know, otherwise he might cause great trouble. Now that the entire royal capital and the world's capital navy are wanted by him, he, as a teacher, must also protect his disciples.
He immediately changed the subject and asked Raymond, "By the way, I almost forgot what you were doing here?" Do you know I'm here, and I'm here to find me? ”
Raymond said, "It's not... I'm mainly here to find Mr. Boggs. ”
Since my teacher is here, this visit should not be a problem at all, and there is no need to use a knife. He paused, and then simply said his other purpose: "Also, I also want to come to this Genius Potions Master Conference." ”
The top three Potions Masters will be canonized in the palace, which is currently the safest way for Raymond to think of to infiltrate the palace.
Aldrich already knew that his disciple was a "ghost", and the purpose of coming to him to participate in the conference would not be so simple. There were also outsiders here, and he didn't want to ask Raymond directly about his true purpose.
Probably... It's also about revenge.
However, in his mind, since it was his own disciple who was going to participate in the "Genius Potions Master Conference", he should also do his part as a teacher. Anyway, he is alone now, even if he is implicated, it doesn't matter if he dies.
Aldrich asked, "Do you want us to introduce you to the 'Genius Potions Master Exchange Conference'?" ”
Raymond did mean the same thing: "Hmm. ”
In this genius potions master exchange conference, those who are really qualified to compete for the top three are actually the major potions families in the Black Sea. Moreover, the identity information must be registered for the competition, just like the political trial of the previous life, and the teacher must have a clear future. If there is no introducer, even if you win the championship in the end, you can't skip the investigation of the Military Intelligence Department.
He came to Boggs, not only to get the follow-up items to the "Weaver Gem", but also to see if he could make him his introducer.
Now it seems that his teacher is here, and this matter is not a problem.
Aldridge looked at Raymond and casually asked, "How sure are you that you can win the championship?" ”
"Poof~"
Boggs, who was drinking coffee on the side, almost choked when he heard this. The huge Black Sea, there are countless potions geniuses, and being able to enter the top ten is an extremely incredible talent.
You open your mouth and ask, how sure is this disciple that he can win the championship?
Can you ask a steeper question?
The reality did not disappoint him, and what surprised him even more was yet to come!
A bad old man dares to ask, and a mentally retarded apprentice dares to say.
At this time,
"Hmm..."
He looked at Raymond and frowned for a while, and said with a serious face: "Probably... Eighty or ninety percent of it. ”
"Nani?" Boggs thought he had misheard. Could it be that Aldridge just asked not how sure he was of winning the championship, but whether he was sure of being in the finals?
"Eighty or ninety percent sure that you can win the championship? Hey, this kid doesn't know what the 'Black Sea Genius Potions Master Conference' means! This kind of Potions Masters extravaganza that covers the entire Black Sea and the small competitions in those territories are completely different things. What's more, Daniel, the personal disciple of Potions Guild President Voss Dyer, has now reached the level of a three-star Potions Master, and you are a hairy boy who told me that he is eighty or ninety percent sure of winning the championship? ”
Boggs's face became very ugly, as if he had heard a fantasy, and contempt immediately appeared in his eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that the young man in front of him was a disciple of his junior brother, he really wanted to drive this arrogant guy out of his house!
Spit out wild words, young and ignorant!
Could it be that Aldrich is an old fool? Actually accepted such a bragging disciple?
But what Boggs didn't expect, even more bizarre is still to come.
This junior brother actually believed his disciple's nonsense!
Could it be that this old guy hasn't woken up yet?
"Oh? Eighty or nine..."
Aldrich raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and a touch of joy appeared on his face, and he didn't have the slightest suspicion at all!
"There's no hurry... After ten days, those guys finished the preliminary competition, and directly called my senior brother for introduction. He is the referee of this competition, and he gives you a special right to participate in the finals. ”
Saying this, the old man turned his head to look at Boggs and confirmed, "Yes, senior brother?" I remember you had that privilege. ”
"Aldrich, I do have that right. But..."
Boggs twitched as he listened, probably thinking that his junior brother had drunk too much last night and was not sober yet.
He thought, this guy can't be trying to cheat on his disciple, right?
But... Even if he cheats, at most he will get a certificate of honor for the conference, without real materials, how can he give you the championship in front of everyone? The other referees are not blind!
After thinking about it, he decided to ask first, what if he was really a potions genius?
"This... Raymond: Right? How many stars are you now? ”
"How many stars?"
Raymond touched the back of his head, he hadn't been certified at all, and there was no star at all.
He said truthfully, "Mr. Boggs, I only have one Potions Master apprentice certification right now... That, is there a Potions Master star threshold to participate in the conference? ”
"You..."
Hearing this, Boggs seemed to be choked, and he was so angry that he didn't know how to answer.
You're a potions apprentice, but if you have a side dish, you won't get drunk and blow this kind of, right?
There is no threshold...
The "Black Sea Genius Potions Meeting" is held every ten years, and theoretically all potions masters under the age of twenty-five are eligible to participate in this conference. But this kind of "genius" conference, even a two-star potions master may not be able to enter the finals, what kind of fun are you a potions apprentice!
Just now he actually said that he was eighty or ninety percent sure of winning the championship?
I think you're crazy!
"Oh, Brother Boggs! Don't underestimate my disciple because he doesn't have a certified star rating..."
Aldridge on the side smiled.
Where did he not know the character of his apprentice?
Steady, low-key, never spit out wild words, and likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
Since he said that he is eighty or ninety percent sure, it can almost be understood that he is bound to win this championship!
Aldrich knew that Boggs was underestimating his apprentice, so he asked Raymond directly: "Raymond, do you have a high success rate in refining Sequence 7 potions now?" ”
In his mind, since Raymond said that he was sure to win the championship, he must know the strength of the opponent. Naturally, he should have heard that Daniel, the personal disciple of the president of the Potions Guild, Voss Dyer, is a three-star potions master, and that guy is the favorite to win the tournament.
If he can defeat Daniel with certainty, then he must be able to refine Sequence 7 potions.
Obviously, this old man was thinking too much, and Raymond had never heard of the genius disciple of President Vos.
"Huh?"
He was still a little puzzled, this old man hadn't seen him for two years, how could he guess that he could refine Sequence 7 potions as soon as they met?
Doubts are doubts,
In the face of his teacher's question, Raymond still answered truthfully: "Hmm... In the case of Sequence 7 Black Iron Potion, the success rate is more than 90%. The silver-level potion is a little worse, about four or fifty percent. ”
Moreover, this is still the success rate of his body, not a puppet!
If it's a puppet, Sequence 7's potions have an extremely high potion success rate, and there is almost no failure rate!
He was confident that he had a chance of winning the championship, because in the past two years, he had already reached the full level of all the "Junior Potions" related skills! All kinds of junior potions masters' techniques, techniques, and secret techniques are simply at their fingertips, as long as the skills he once learned, they are now all at full level!
It can be said that in terms of the proficiency of alchemy skills alone, Raymond said that he was the second among the junior potionsmen, and no one dared to admit the first. Not to mention this small Black Sea, even the Endless Sea could not be stronger than him!
"Sequence 7 ordinary potions have a success rate of more than ninety percent, and the silver has reached four or five levels?!"
When Boggs heard this, the first thought that flashed through his mind was, absolute degree is impossible!
Because even now that he has successfully advanced to a four-star potions master for many years, refining the potions of Sequence 7 will not reach this exaggerated success rate!
Aldrich, a disciple, is too unreliable to speak, right?
The difficulty of the potions in Sequence 7 is already very high, even if it is a five-star potions master, he does not dare to guarantee that he can refine it successfully every time, this kid has a ninety percent chance of opening his mouth, could it be that he thinks that he is already an intermediate potions master?
Hehe, an intermediate potions master under the age of twenty?
It's nonsense!
The Boggs family is one of the oldest Potions Master families in the Black Sea, and even the most gifted of his ancestors would not be able to reach the level of an intermediate Potions Master at this age.
Hearing that, Aldridge frowned slightly and asked, "Can you be an intermediate potions master now?" ”
"Not yet."
Raymond said: "Since I separated from my teacher two years ago, I haven't learned any skills in intermediate potions, and my mental strength is still far behind... Since the teacher is here, I happen to have a lot of questions to ask. ”
"Oh? So you're still at the level of a junior potions master? ”
Aldridge obviously didn't believe the data exposed by Raymond just now.
Generally speaking, it is absolutely impossible for a beginner potions master to achieve this terrifying potion rate, and even ordinary intermediate potions are impossible.
(Note: 1-3 Star Beginner, 4-6 Star Intermediate, 7-9 Star Advanced)
Although he knew that his disciple never told lies, and even when he usually spoke, he often pretended to be modest.
But he hadn't seen him for two years, and he believed that his disciple could reach that level.
After thinking about it, Aldrich didn't rush to a conclusion, he said: "It just so happens that my senior brother has a well-equipped laboratory here, and you can show a hand to your teacher?" Let me see how good your potions refining level is now? ”
Oh, exactly!
Hearing this, Boggs snorted coldly.
Haikou just now was boasted, and now it's going to be in force immediately, right? No matter how hard you blow it, the discipline of Potions is to be seen with real skills!
Now whether it's true or not, the laboratory operates it by hand once, and everything is clear!
In the end, this kid has a certain level of potions, and his four-star potions master can know at a glance.
Thinking of this, Boggs shook his head slightly. In his opinion, the young man in front of him will definitely find all kinds of excuses to shirk and dare not go to the laboratory.
Because once it is actually operated, it must be completely revealed.
But before the scornful smile on the corner of his mouth appeared, he suddenly looked at the young man opposite and got up calmly.
Raymond said lightly: "Oh, then please help the teacher, and bother Mr. Boggs." ”
The words were calm and quiet, not hurried or impatient, and there was no panic at all, as if everything was confident.
"Good! Very good! ”
Aldrich was stunned for a moment, and then the essence in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
At this moment, he was already completely convinced that what his disciple had just said was true!
What happened to him in the past two years that made him have such a transformation?
Not humble, not arrogant, not hurried, the climate has become!
The old man looked at Raymond, and his excited body trembled slightly.
He knew that he was about to witness the birth of a true demon.
......
How can it be?
Did he really say yes?
"Could it be that what this young man said is true? It can't be... There must be a misunderstanding..."
This was Burgess' last thought before leading Raymond into the lab.
