Chapter 229: Cheers
But looking at it, everyone felt that something was wrong, especially a character like Hoffman, who had a fat body but specialized in all kinds of technical details, and it was immediately obvious that this kid was by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, whether it was technology or details, there was nothing to be picky about.
Among the young pharmacists who have risen in recent years, Erin has the best talent, and he is also Balbo's personal disciple, Hoffman has always thought that among this group of young people, I am afraid that Erin is the most promising, but he didn't expect that two young people appeared at today's exchange meeting, and the one named Milo was just that, although the strange formula was carried out to the end, but there was not much to praise in terms of technology, at most it could only be regarded as decent.
But now this, but it's really amazing, this kid doesn't know what the way is, he looks like he's in his twenties, but he looks like he's seventy or eighty years old, whether it's technique or technique, it can be described as perfect, from the moment he stood in front of the apothecary, Hoffman noticed a detail, this young man's speed is not too fast, but it's scary, from beginning to end, I haven't seen him shake a single hand, as if it was not a pair of hands, but a sophisticated machine.
Hoffman himself is a master of potions, and has an almost paranoid pursuit of potion technology, from the age of sixteen to fifty, he has been dealing with all kinds of potions for decades, and decades of persistence have honed a potion technique that even Balbo praises.
However, when the young man walked to the potion table, Hoffman suddenly found that the potion technology he was proud of seemed to be inferior to that of the young man in his twenties.
Hoffman was stupid all at once...... "This, this, this...... That's too fake, right? Hoffman stood there with a dull expression, watching him extract the juice of the Tranquility Flower, and watching him separate the agave from the silverleaf grass, and his gestures seemed to be slow, but there was no delay or a trace of mistakes.
What made Hoffman most unbelievable was that the young man's mastery of the temperature of the crucible was as if he were playing a trick, and while handling various herbs, he had been in a spell-casting state, alternating between the hand of fire and the touch of frost, constantly adjusting the temperature of the cauldron so that the liquid in the cauldron was always in a state of imminent boiling.
"Is this still human?" Hoffman almost went crazy on the spot.
Magicians and spellcasters are two similar professions in themselves, how could Hoffman not know what state a magician needs to cast spells, whether it is the indulgence of mental power or the control of magic power, they need to concentrate on it without distractions, not to mention doing anything else in the process, even a small sneeze can be fatal.
Not to mention that like this kid, while preparing this potion that stumped the all-flange apothecary, he alternated the two spells, and you look at his demeanor, it is almost like a leisurely stroll, so relaxed and leisurely that you can't help but want to bang your head against the wall.
Hoffman didn't even dare to imagine how much magic it would take to keep casting these two spells.
"Anduin, where did you find the gunman, why are you so powerful?"
"Bah, what gunslinger, am I going to be so nasty? I'm telling you, this is my new apprentice, and if you don't believe it, ask the killer leader, I just introduced him to him. ”
"Real Fake ......"
"Of course it's true!"
Since the day he became a magician, Anduin has been angry with pharmacists, often saying good things, and finally having to put on some precious magic materials in order to exchange for such a pitiful bottle of potions in the hands of those high-ranking pharmacists, and later although he joined the Supreme Council and made friends with Balbo, those pharmacists did not dare to offend themselves on the surface, but they never said anything good about themselves behind the scenes.
Anduin endured it for decades, and finally endured it until today, how could he be polite to Hoffman this time?
I saw the old man's neck, and his face was vivid: "But forget it, it's hard to understand with your IQ." ”
"You really didn't lie to me?" Hoffman blinked, still a little incredulous: "It's really not you who paid to humiliate the Apothecary Guild?" ”
"Bah, I'm so idle, I'm ......"
"Yes too......" Hoffman thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the same truth, and at that moment the two little eyes narrowed, and replaced them with a flattering smile: "This, Master Anduin, can you tell me, who did this young man learn the potion from, and why is he so powerful at such a young age?" ”
"Nonsense, my apprentice, of course he learned from me, otherwise you taught him?"
"......" Hoffman rolled his eyes, thinking that it was strange for Lao Tzu to believe you.
Of course, he didn't dare to say that.
"Yes, yes, of course you taught." Hoffman's smile became more flattering: "I mean, has anyone else pointed him in but you?" ”
"It's gone." Anduin replied vividly.
“……”
Fortunately, Hoffman was thick-skinned enough, and he was ridiculed by Anduin like this, he was not angry at all, but served the old man with hospitality, and the master before and after the master called, and he almost changed his name to call him uncle.
"Master Anduin, do you think after the exchange meeting is over, can you let your disciple talk to me for a few words?"
"I can't do this......"
This time, Anduin really didn't talk nonsense, he really couldn't be the master of this matter, there were too many secrets in this kid Ferrey, even Anduin, who was most familiar with him, often didn't know what he was thinking, Hoffman said that he would talk about a few words, but the ghost knew what he wanted to talk about, and Anduin didn't dare to agree to this kind of thing.
"That's right......" Hoffman thought for a moment, and then asked with a flattering face, "Otherwise, Master Anduin, you can help me bring him a message, just say that Hoffman has a few questions that he wants to ask him for, and if you can help me solve these problems, I am willing to give him the Book of Ten Thousand Spells." ”
"The Book of Ten Thousand Spells!" Anduin's voice rose sharply a few degrees, but soon, he realized that he was a little out of shape, and the old man hurriedly put away his salivation, and changed his face to a sanctimonious face: "Well, I'll try my best......"
"Thank you, Master Anduin."
"This dead fat man, he is really willing to spend money, and even took out the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras......" Seeing Hoffman walk out of the distance, Anduin opened his self-talk at that time, the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras is a really good thing, even Anduin, who is already a legendary powerhouse, couldn't help but salivate a little when he heard it for the first time, it is no exaggeration to say that the reason why Hoffman can have today's achievements is at least half due to the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, relying on this thing, Hoffman can only use the strength of the sixteenth level, Standing on the breezy plains where the strong are rampant, they never fall.
It seems that this matter really needs to be talked to that kid Ferrey...... And at this time, Lin Li's Void Power Elixir was almost finished.
Among the ten kinds of herbs, eight have been put into the crucible, at this time he has two beakers in his hand, one is filled with moonlight grass, and the other is filled with sunflowers, in order to ensure the effect of sunflowers, Lin Li also specially made some ice cubes to be on it, among the crystal ice cubes, the unique red of sunflowers is extremely bright.
Balbo's eyes were straight and always staring at Lin Li's hands, everything that this young man showed once again subverted his common sense, the perfect combination of magic and potions, even Balbo, who had been with potions for decades, was breathtaking for a while.
"Burnside, help me figure it out." When Balbo said this, the expression on his face was extremely serious: "No matter what the price, we in the Apothecary Guild must get this genius, otherwise, I will become a sinner in the Apothecary Guild!" ”
"Elder, this time I really can't help it, just now I also helped you to probe the wind and let him leave the Garros Magic Guild, he absolutely refused......" Old Green spread his hands and showed a wry smile.
"Then there's no other way?"
"What else can be done?" Old Green couldn't help but be angry: "Can you and I still come forward and accept him as an apprentice?" Don't be kidding, it's not like you haven't seen that Anduin has lived for more than a hundred years, so he accepted such an apprentice, and he took it as a treasure every day, where did he have the opportunity to dig a corner for us? ”
"Anduin, old bastard, that's pretty lucky." Balbo thought about it for a long time, and had to admit that what Old Green said was indeed the truth: "If only we had done it earlier......"
"By the way, I remembered something!" When he was in despair, Old Green suddenly remembered something: "Perhaps, you can think of a way on this." ”
"What's the matter?"
"When I went to help you find out, Ferrey mentioned it to me once, saying that he wanted to buy some primordial leaves from the guild, why don't you use this thing as a bargaining chip to talk to him?"
"Let me think about ......"
The two of them were muttering there, but the preparation of the Void Power Elixir had already entered the final step.
As the petals of the red sunflower sprinkled into the cauldron, the hearts of all the apothecaries hung in unison.
As you all know, this is already the final step.
The young magician Milo just now, it was at this step that he failed, and now this magician who is younger than Milo can cross this most critical step, whether he can cross this most critical step has become a question in everyone's mind, and the more he can't pass, there is naturally nothing to say, but once he crosses it, it means that a new star in pharmacy is born.
And this new star is even brighter than the previous ones.
This recipe is stumped, but in the entire Apothecary Guild, and even all the pharmacists in the entire Flange Kingdom, Hoffman's skills are already impeccable, right? Necromancer Sendros's potion attainments are unfathomable, right? But even they couldn't complete this weird recipe.
If it were done in the hands of a young man under the age of twenty, it would be destined to be a sensation for the whole of Orana.
"Boy, do a good job, let Hoffman's dead fat man know that if you don't grow fat, the level of pharmacy must be high!" In the crowd, I don't know who shouted, and there was a burst of laughter.
"Come on, young man!"
"Yes, boy, do a good job, if you can complete this recipe, I'll introduce my daughter to you!"
"Garrison, you old shameless, you better accumulate some virtue, your daughter is almost forty years old, and you are embarrassed to let her come to the old cow to eat tender grass?"
"Bah, I'm talking about the little girl!"
"Damn, your youngest daughter is not yet thirteen years old this year, do you want to be so ruthless?"
"What, not convinced? There's a kind of you giving birth to a daughter......"
The atmosphere in the guild pharmacy room became inexplicably warm.
At this moment, almost all the pharmacists were cheering for Lin Li.
A few of them were those who had previously despised him for not understanding the High Elf script, and a few of them had some friendship with the Magic Guild of Thunder City, but more of them were strange pharmacists who had never even met them, and their cheering had nothing to do with friendship or grudges, purely out of love for pharmacy itself.
At this moment, everyone hoped from the bottom of their hearts that he would succeed.
"Thank you all for cheering!"
The moment the sunflower petals flickered, Lin Li gently sprinkled the silver glittering moonlight grass, and then saw a white mist diffuse up, Lin Li stood in a white mist, easily extinguished the fire under the crucible, and turned around and bowed to a group of onlookers pharmacists, and then left the apothecary without looking back...... The white mist filled the air, with a faint sweet fragrance, which blurred everything in the entire guild pharmacy, and a group of pharmacists all stared at the misty mist.
Balbo was the first to stand up, because the movement was too intense, the rattan chair under him was lifted behind him at once, although the expression on his face was calm, but the hands that were clinging to his side couldn't help but tremble slightly, followed by Green Burnside, then Anduin, who looked nervous, and then one after another, the pharmacists who kept getting up one after another...... In such a way, they wanted to pay tribute to the young magician.
That's right, he really succeeded.
According to the description of the formula, once the potion is formulated, it will take on a thick and transparent state, and when you get closer, you will smell a faint sweet aroma, like the smell of maltose, everything is the same as the liquid in the crucible.
This young magician, who is less than twenty years old, has solved a problem that all flange pharmacists have not been able to solve, and today's exchange meeting is destined to make this young man the brightest star in pharmacy!
After a short silence, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted in the pharmacy, hundreds of pharmacists, whether they knew each other or not, whether they had grievances or not, they were all immersed in great joy at this moment, this young man solved not just a simple bottle of potions, but a problem that plagued all pharmacists in the whole flange, the birth of this bottle of potions, representing a great progress in pharmacy!
