"Young man, do you think I still have the heart to cultivate the sect?"

Looking at the "rich" money bag in front of him, Malcoln really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. The smiling young man in front of him www.biquge.info was clearly a bastard who was not inferior to his teacher. He actually kicked the messenger of the Apothecary Guild in his shop, and as a matter of course, he put the coins he had stolen from the other party in front of him, claiming that it was used to compensate the store's money......

Fortunately, this small street is relatively remote, and there are not many people walking around in normal times, otherwise the guards would have surrounded it by now.

"Maybe it's time for you to set up shop somewhere else. After glancing at the genius apprentice who had fallen to the ground and was unconscious, and after confirming that the capable person should not die because of this, Ian shrugged his shoulders insincerely, and asked, "Master Malken, do you think that if I win against him in the potion today, the Eastern Regions Apothecary Guild will give up on seeking the 'Heart Image Amplification Elixir' in your hand?"

"No, it won't. ”

Malcoln smiled wryly and looked down and touched little Ivy's head beside him.

Ever since Ian turned around and walked back to the store, the little girl's eyes had been shining with a strange brilliance, her little face flushed with excitement, and she almost wanted to jump up for the beating of a certain "bad brother", completely unaware that her grandfather's hair was about to turn white.

What would Malcoln not know about the temperament of President Owen? Owen would never let go of his work. Even if today they used the "Immortal Rose" to keep the secret of the Mental Image Amplification Elixir, so that the Eastern Regions Apothecary Guild would not dare to act rashly on the surface, but he and Ivy were only mortals after all, and once the other party felt that they could not easily pick the fruit, then I am afraid they would use some shady means.

He wasn't afraid of the crowd doing it to him, but he didn't want his granddaughter to be hurt because of it.

"Then get out of here. Ian saw the old man's concern. Once he knew why, he knew that no matter what he did, the old man would not be able to gain a foothold in the city. Therefore, it seemed to him that instead of remaining under the watchful eye of the ill-intentioned ones, it was better to leave as soon as possible now.

"My companion and I will then go to the White City, and my companion has a high status in the White City. If you're willing to believe me, I can drop you and little Ivy there, and have my companions open a new pharmacy for you in the area. ”

"Of course, you can decide what to do after you meet my companion. ”

It is extremely difficult for an old man and a little girl to go on a long trek in the wilderness, it is too dangerous. Since the old man may be an old friend of Harris, and Ian himself is involved in the matter, he certainly doesn't mind helping someone to the end.

Orivia and Martina's status in the White City is not just "not low". In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Orivia herself didn't want to end this "distraction" trip too soon, in fact, as early as the moment they entered Selen, they would have been able to contact the upper echelons of the Eastern Regions and wait for the Starfire Knights to welcome their master and the Knight Master back to the Red Lotus Temple.

Orivia has lived in the depths of the world for many years, but Martina is the famous "lonely god of war", once she comes into contact with the upper echelons, how can no one really recognize her?

As for whether they are willing to help.

In Ian's opinion, as a Master of Malken's Apothecary, there was no reason why the Red Lotus Temple would not be welcome. It's just that the old man himself doesn't seem to have the same confidence as Ian.

"I can't run a pharmacy anywhere else. The old man shook his head: "The Apothecary Guild expelled me from the guild and removed my pharmacist qualification on the grounds of studying 'taboos'. ”

"Research 'taboos'?"

Ian frowned slightly. In this world, research related to demons is the most likely to come across the word "taboo", and any scholar who uses demons as research objects or demons as materials for experiments must report to the Empire for approval, and private research is illegal and criminalizable. It's just that before he could ask, little Ivy on the side had already jumped out impatiently, and said angrily: "Grandpa didn't study any 'taboos', that's why they framed grandpa!"

"In order to get the results of Grandpa's experiments, they deliberately hid the remains of the demon in Grandpa's laboratory, and then brought the inspector from the Pharmacists Guild Headquarters to say that Grandpa extracted the demon's blood to prepare the potion. ”

"They said that they would let him go as long as he promised to hand over the research results, but if he refused to cooperate, then he would be kicked out of the Pharmacists Guild and he would never be able to call himself a pharmacist again. ”

"So, your grandfather rejected them, didn't he?"

"Of course. Hearing Ian's inquiry, the little girl suddenly puffed up her little chest and proudly declared, "Grandpa won't bow down to those bad guys!"

After speaking, she turned around, hugged Malken, and shook her body: "Grandpa, the fugitive brother is right, we can't stay here anymore, let's go to other places, even if grandpa can't open a pharmacy in the future, when I finish the pharmacist assessment, I'll open a store to take care of grandpa, okay?"

"This ......"

Seeing that his granddaughter was almost hanging on top of him like a koala, shaking desperately and begging, Malken suddenly cried and laughed. Although he had confirmed that Ian was a disciple of the "Immortal Rose", who could be sure that the bastard would be a true disciple or a casual teacher?

In case the kid in front of him also has an attempt on the "Heart Image Amplification Elixir", then wouldn't he and Little Ivy ......

"Master Malken, I know what you're worried about. ”

Seeing the old man fall into a deep groan, Ian couldn't think of his thoughts. Where can anyone easily trust someone they've only met twice?

"You can go with me to meet my companion first, and that may clear some of your doubts. ”

"Wait......" The old man suddenly raised his head, looked directly into Ian's eyes, and asked with an inexplicable meaning, "Bruns, is he okay?"

Ian was slightly stunned, and suddenly realized that the old man in front of him seemed to want to confirm something.

"Master Malken, my teacher's name is not Bruns. ”

"And what do you call him?" asked the old man, "Archibald, Barnett, Clifford, or Div?"

"Uh......"

Ian could barely describe how he was feeling at the moment, God knows how he could have come up with so many names!

"Neither?" the old man raised an eyebrow imperceptibly.

"His name is Harris. ”

"Huh?" Malken suddenly sighed softly, and then nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, I'll go with you." ”

"Since you know that bastard's real name, then I'll trust you for once. ”
