Chapter 230: The Book of Ten Thousand Laws
This bottle of Void Power Elixir made the entire Apothecary Guild immersed in joy, and Balbo even announced on the spot that tonight, the Apothecary Guild will hold a grand celebration banquet, and I hope that all the pharmacists present must attend at that time.
After announcing this, Balbo withdrew from the guild pharmacy with a smile on his face.
Then he brought in Old Green.
"Burnside......" Balbo sat in his chair and thought for a long time, when suddenly a sentence came to him: "I think I should talk to FerrΓ©." β
"When?"
"Banquet in the evening."
Old Green suddenly hesitated: "Isn't this too urgent?" β
"We can't help but ......be in a hurry," Balbo stood up and walked back and forth in the room twice, looking extremely irritated: "I'm also forced to have no choice, when I was in the pharmacy just now, you saw it, when those bastards looked at Ferrey, what was the difference between them and a group of hungry wolves?" If we don't hurry up, this young genius will be robbed sooner or later, and we will regret it too late! β
"What bastards ......"
"Who could it be...... Balbo pursed his lips and stretched out his fingers to count them one by one: "Fat Hoffman, Dead Sendros, Prince Lionheart Jonathan, Archbishop Enroth, by the way, and the killer leader Oro, aren't they the bastards who deserve a thousand cuts?" β
"You mean, they're interested in Ferrey too?"
"Nonsense, think about it yourself, behind Hoffman is the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, behind Sendros is the Temple of Darkness, behind Mograine is the Temple of Light, Oro is holding the Red Moon in one hand, and Jonathan's little bastard, he is His Majesty's own brother, the forces behind them are all ambitious, a genius pharmacist like Ferrey, who doesn't want to hold him in his hands?"
"Hey, I really regret it this time, why didn't I listen to you in the first place, if I had done it earlier, wouldn't there be nothing now?" As soon as he said this, Balbo was heartbroken: "It's a pity, it's too late to say anything now, if I'm not mistaken, Ferry's potion level has at least reached the master level, think about it, a potion master who is less than twenty years old, what a terrifying existence?" β
"Indeed......" Remembering the young magician's potion level, Old Green couldn't help but nod.
"So, we can't wait, Burnside, this time we have to pull him into the Apothecary Guild." Balbo slammed up from his chair, his eyes looking murderous: "Do whatever it takes!" β
This time, even Old Green couldn't help but be a little moved, he had known Balbo for decades, but in these decades, he had never seen Balbo make such a big determination, Old Green hesitated for a moment before asking: "Then what do you mean......"
"The Book of Ten Thousand Laws."
"Hell......" Old Green was suddenly stunned.
"You listen to me first......" Balbord pulled a chair and motioned for Old Green to sit down first: "I know better than you the preciousness of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, using it in exchange for a Potion Master, it seems to be a bit of a loss, but Bernside, you must not forget, this Potion Master is only twenty years old, with his current talent, I dare to guarantee that within ten years, he will definitely break through the Grandmaster realm, and at that time, let alone a Book of Ten Thousand Laws, even if it is a hundred, people will not take a second look, Burnside, This is our last chance, and if we miss it, we'll probably spend a hundred times more in the future......"
"You've really decided?"
"Yes." Balbo nodded heavily.
"Well, I'll help you find an opportunity to talk to Ferrey alone at the dinner."
"By the way, Burnside, you just seemed to say that Ferre needs some primordial leaves?"
"Well, looking at the way he looked at the time, it seems that he was still in a hurry......" After Old Green finished speaking, he looked at Balbo with a little suspicion: "What, you really plan to find a way in this regard?" Balbo, I want to persuade you about this, this kid's surname has always been soft and not hard, if you plan to use primitive leaves to blackmail him, it is better to dispel this idea as soon as possible, don't dig the corner of the wall when the time comes, but tear the skin of the face first, what face will you use to greet Anduin in the future? β
"No, no, no......" Balbo shook his head: "Don't worry, I won't be so disproportionate, for a master of apothecary, primordial leaves are nothing, so, Burnside, wait a minute, as soon as the dinner begins, you can help me get some primordial leaves for him, don't mention what to buy or not, just say that it is a meeting gift I gave him, anyway, this thing is not very precious except for a little rare, it is quite suitable for sending a favor." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ The Pharmacists' Guild did put a lot of thought into this banquet, it was grand and grand, and almost all the pharmacists at the exchange meeting came as scheduled, and the only two absentees could only be the Amman masters and apprentices who left in the afternoon.
Amman is also shrewd, as soon as the afternoon exchange meeting ended, he ran to find Balbo, saying that he was in a hurry to deal with the magic guild of Thunder City, and he would not participate in the banquet in the evening...... Balbo pursed his lips, thinking to himself that I wish you didn't attend, this banquet itself is a celebration party prepared for FerrΓ©, if you two masters and apprentices come, won't it make people uncomfortable...... Of course, their faces were still full of smiles, and after a few words of pretended relief, they let them leave, as for whether they returned to Thunder City, this is probably only known to the ghosts.
When Lin Li walked into the banquet hall, there were already a lot of people sitting inside, a group of waiters held trays in their hands, and sent exquisite food to the water, and cups of fine wine reflected a dreamlike brilliance under the gorgeous lights, and those familiar pharmacists were still chatting together in twos and threes as if they were in the guild hall in the morning, but unlike in the morning, this time all the pharmacists who saw Lin Li entering the door stood up from a distance, Greeted the young man who had shocked the entire Apothecary Guild warmly.
"Good evening, Master Ferrey."
"Master Ferry, do you have time to talk?"
Using "master" to refer to a young man in his twenties, a group of pharmacists did not feel awkward at all, even the most proud people had to admit that with the level of potions that this young man showed in the afternoon, he was definitely worthy of the word "master".
Moreover, everyone believes that the word "master" will be replaced with "grandmaster" in a few years...... "How about it, Master Ferry, how do you feel?" The master and apprentice sat in a corner, and Anduin greeted the acquaintances next to him from time to time, and occasionally took the time to ask.
"It doesn't feel good...... Lin Li scratched his head and said helplessly: "I feel like I'm being watched." β
"Hehe......" Anduin smiled, his gaze retracted from a distance: "This is normal, you will get used to it after a while." β
"I hope so."
"That's right, Ferry." The two chatted a few more words, and Anduin suddenly remembered something: "At the exchange meeting in the afternoon, Hoffman came to see me once. β
"Hoffman?" Lin Li tilted his head and thought for a while, then he remembered: "Oh, you said that fat man? β
"Well, it's the fat man Hoffman, he asked me to bring you a message, saying that he has a few difficult problems in pharmacy that he wants to ask you for, and if you can help him solve them successfully, he is willing to give you the Book of Ten Thousand Spells."
"What is the Book of Mantras?"
"Good stuff!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Really, I didn't lie to you this time, the Book of Ten Thousand Spells is really a good thing!" When Anduin said this, his expression was unusually serious: "The Book of Ten Thousand Spells is one of the treasures handed down from the Dark Ages, its previous owner, is the famous Great Lord Osric, it is said that when Osric led the magic legion and went on an expedition to the abyss, he took it from the palace of a great demon, and then I don't know how, it fell to the fat man Hoffman, don't look at the fat man's obscene appearance, and his strength doesn't seem to be very good, I told him, he was in the area of the Light Wind Plains, But the real big name, one of the shareholders of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, casually look at the kind there, no one dares to provoke him, what does he rely on, not just relying on a book of ten thousand spells, if you can really get it, even if you reach the Light Wind Plain in the future, it can be said that you will go sideways. β
"So powerful?"
"It's that powerful." When it came to the Book of Ten Thousand Spells, even Anduin was a little moved: "It's a pity, when Osric attacked the abyss, he captured a total of two, one is the Book of Ten Thousand Spells, and the other is the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, although Hoffman, the fat man, was lucky, but he only got one, if he let him master two books at the same time, I'm afraid even I may not be his opponent......"
"Then why did Hoffman take it out?"
"How do I know ......" Anduin pursed his lips and stretched out his finger to the fat man who was toasting around like a butterfly wearing flowers: "I want to know, if you ask him, is it over?" β
"You mean, approve of me talking to him?"
"Yes." Anduin nodded: "It doesn't matter if you talk about it, anyway, in addition to causing trouble, you kid doesn't have any big shortcomings, and people are shrewd and don't like words, I've never worried about you suffering in this kind of thing, anyway, what to do when the time comes, you can just watch it yourself." β
"Then I'll talk to him when I'm free......"
"By the way, after the banquet, don't rush back to the Magic Guild."
"Why?"
"Because, I suddenly thought of a way to increase my magic strength in a short period of time, and I was about to find someone to try it......"
