Chapter Sixty-Eight: Rand and the Food Secret
The black figure who kept squirming at the counter paused, then picked up the white velvet towel prepared next to the desk and wiped it up and down, as if he felt that everything was in order, and slowly walked towards Mebis.
Dressed in a slender and neat outfit, a white shirt with a curved black jacket and long legging brown leather pants, he looked rigorous and dry, completely different from the usual robe style of other wizarding organizations.
Just like his clothes, the face of the man in front of him was very cold, under the silver-white hair cream was a pair of deep and sharp golden eyes, and his pale and wooden face was pursed with thin pale lips staring at him indifferently.
After a long while, in the silence of the other party's breathlessness, the cold man opened his closed lips,
"Wizard apprentice, Rand."
It was brief, but the cold tone of the blade made Mebis feel an indescribable throbbing.
"The opponent's strength is much higher than him."
The young man instantly sensed the mystery of the young man in front of him, and immediately said respectfully,
"Hello, honorable Lord Rand."
His sudden change of attitude was not to make a fuss in order to please the other party, the wizarding world respects the strong, any secular moral restrictions are important in their eyes, and the seniors who are stronger than themselves must know how to be humble and courteous, almost every wizard apprentice knows this hidden rule.
"Connect your cards with me."
Rand said to him in an unquestioning tone,
"Yes."
The latter got the other party's affirmation before quickly approaching the cold man, both sides took out a black and white card, and after pasting each other, they let out a low sound, and new words suddenly appeared on the task bar of Mebis's identity card.
Resource Collection: Ogli Imperial Obsidian Hazelnut 100 Bitter Honey Purple Sweet Potato 50 Roots (for one year)
Recipient: Mebis
Handover: Rand
Note: Any Wizard Apprentice must return to the Academy to register after reaching the allotted mission time, and rewards will be deducted after the deadline.
"You're only a first-level apprentice, who is the mentor, and he actually sent you to take over this task."
After alternating messages, Rand's cold tone was a little soothing and puzzled at the same time to question Mebis,
"Back to my lord, I don't have a mentor, as for the task, it's my own choice, and no one else interferes."
He responded frankly, at first, he only took over this year-long assignment by looking at the resource rewards on the black information board and the experience of going out on an excursion, and he didn't know the mystery inside.
"Could it be that the mission is in danger that a first-level apprentice can't reach?"
"How did the other party see his hidden apprentice rank?"
A flash of incomprehensible worry flashed in his eyes.
"Your way of speaking is too blunt, and the Level 2 and Level 3 apprentices are not as constrained as you, so the result is clear."
Without thinking, Rand helped him unravel the confusion in his heart.
"Since it is a first-level apprentice, it should be the first time to relieve the academy of foreign missions."
The cold young man slowly twisted his slender left and right hands, and said.
"There are two kinds of resources on the resource quest, I don't think you know, and the mystery behind them."
The young man was stunned for a moment, and he was a little ignorant to think of the meaning of the other party's words.
"Do me one thing, I can give you some extended materials that I have put together with me."
In this way, does he still have a choice, Mebeston smiled helplessly, and then agreed to the other party's request, and the equivalent exchange benefits advocated between wizards were also revealed at this moment.
Seeing the envelope that the other party had put into the storage space, he was a little surprised and nodded slightly.
"This quest is perfect for mid-level apprentices in the Dark Magic Room, but it's not enough for beginners."
Rand explained it to him a little, and then added to it.
"The task can be described as very simple, even... Bored. ”
"The Oleg Empire has a total of two regions that produce wizard ingredients, but."
Rand paused quickly and looked at Mebes with very serious eyes.
"There are only a few in each area."
"And within the advanced ingredients, there is a mysterious existence called derivative ingredients, which are precious ingredients that cannot be obtained by any wizard's perceptual means, and are called by our food wizards, Moyan."
"The quality is far higher than the magic plant fruits that they grow together, but in the same way, it takes extremely special treatment techniques to unravel the strangeness contained in them, and they will be destroyed or rendered useless by violently breaking them or using other strange sorcery."
"Such a special wizard-level ingredient requires precious food secrets, and the various 'food magic solutions' developed by food wizards are under the strictest supervision of major food organizations, even if outsiders get precious magic products, if they don't have a matching magic solution, they can't touch their powerful effects at all."
"As for the effect, I'll copy another copy of the information for you."
Rand's words opened Mebis to a different door, and there was no such information in the Dryad Library, which he estimated could only be obtained from his mentor.
"There are two different Moyan ingredients in the empire, one is the crunchy fruit forest near the Vientiane Demon Forest, which I believe you have also touched, and the other is the yellow bamboo cane forest located in the eastern plains."
“......”
Rand narrowed his beautiful golden eyes, and looked at Mebis with a smile,
"It seems that you have not yet understood the nature of the illusion"
After saying a word of unknown meaning, the other party took out a pitch-black hairy feather from the ring-shaped storage tool on his wrist, and manipulated his mental power to quickly write out the follow-up information and handed it to Mebis's hand.
"I'll leave Oglie and return to the academy after I pack my things, and the empire will do as you wish, even if you're just a first-level apprentice to a wizard."
Rand said slowly while lying on the sofa made of animal skins,
"It's just that I'm too lazy to make a trip, I'll leave it to you to run on your behalf, and the nearby market can also open your eyes, which is not a bad thing."
Then he threw Mebis a black cloth bag road,
"Resource collection bag, made with double space folding technology, don't lose it."
Mebes, who had received so much precious information for a while, exhaled softly, and after respectfully bidding farewell to Rand, the boy slowly withdrew from the residence.
Jumping on the horse, he kept wondering if that inexplicable sentence was implying something?
"Anyway, getting these things is his biggest gain."
And at the end of the narrow street, a group of ancient beast guards in a regular order were already waiting for the new wizard, led by a yellow-spotted leopard-headed man with a wolf's waist and a tiger's back, and his well-cut red and white clothes looked particularly heroic.
"Commander of the Fifth Legion of the Oleg Empire, Roromy greets the respected wizard."
Although the other party did not show any trace of fear, Mebis still faintly felt the uneasy aura emanating from the guards around him, this question has always existed in his heart, from the arrogant demeanor of the dog head to the performance after knowing that he is a wizard.
Although ordinary people certainly respect or fear extraordinary wizards, as an empire managed by wizards, there is no reason why they should be so frightened.
"My king invites the wizard to the Golden Palace for a feast."
Roromy said cautiously.
"Lead the way."
Mebis was looking to see the highest level of food in the empire, after all, the same organization of food wizards was inevitably influenced by its atmosphere.
