Chapter 25: Messer's Surprise
Early the next morning, Donald and Clinton got into a carriage and set off from the estate to Boulder City with fifty bottles of two wines that had never been seen on the mainland before.
This kind of restorative product is very popular among professionals, especially the alchemy potion that can instantly restore mental power, which is no less than a second life for mages, and has always been worth thousands of gold and has no market.
And the taste and taste of the best wine after blending are a fatal temptation for those nobles who pursue enjoyment!
Donald could imagine that if he sold such a fine wine that could restore vitality and spiritual power in small amounts, it would definitely attract enthusiastic purchase from mages and nobles.
Three hours later, the carriage arrived in front of the Stonestone Mage's Clubhouse. This was the first goal Donald set.
In order to hurry, Donald temporarily put all the fragile crystal wine bottles into his storage space, and only took them out again when he got there.
After getting off the bus, Donald ordered the coachman and his attendants to guard the carriage, and he entered the door of the clubhouse with two crystal bottle samples containing red and white liquid.
Walking into the vestibule of the clubhouse and seeing an unfamiliar face, Donald was a little puzzled. Because in the past, the reception work in the front hall was always done by William, the waiter of the clubhouse, but now it has been replaced by a middle-aged man with a bit of sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and an obscene appearance.
"Welcome, Master Mage!"
Faced with the flattering greeting of the middle-aged waiter, Donald asked with some displeasure, "Are you new here?"
The middle-aged waiter's smile was stunned, and then he smiled and said, "My lord, you are asking the former receptionist in the front hall! I heard that he was expelled from the club, but I don't know the specific situation!"
Donald frowned when he heard this, William's attendant was polite and polite, but he did not lose the pride of a mage, and he was even comparable to the butler of an ordinary small nobleman. At least in his opinion, William did a very good job, how could he be fired for no reason? If the matter was not serious, he should help, after all, the waiter was so helpful to him, how could this favor be repaid.
Looking at the new waiter's style, it couldn't help but make people feel bored, so he waved his hand, sent the middle-aged waiter who wanted to lead him inside, and walked into the club by himself.
Now that he is a full-fledged mage, the guild provides him with the same lounge as other mages, and he no longer has to be led by a waiter when entering the guild as an apprentice.
Instead of going to his room, Donald went to Mr. Messer's door, knocked lightly, and heard permission from inside, before he pushed the door and entered.
The room is not only a lounge, but also a private laboratory for Master Messer. At this time, the old mage was concentrating on a small alchemy item on the laboratory table on the other side of the common room.
Donald didn't dare to disturb when he saw this, just stood aside and waited quietly and patiently, while also carefully observing the application of alchemy knowledge, which was very helpful for him to get involved in related fields in the future.
Spell items and alchemy props are actually almost the same thing, both belong to magic props, but the refining methods are different, so they are divided into two types of items, and their actual functions are almost the same.
Spell items are generally enchanted in the form of enchantment, using materials with elemental and spiritual affinity, giving them a spell structure, and attaching suitable spells, so as to achieve a tool that can release the effect of spells without the mage casting it himself.
Alchemy props are the same as the former, except that alchemists generally use magical formulas and materials when making this kind of props, and then drive the spell by carving the alchemy circle and inlaying the energy core to achieve the same spell effect.
It's just that alchemy props have the advantage of not having to pay the price of the caster's own mana spells, and only need enough materials to refine them, so generally mages like alchemy products, and they will learn a few simple alchemy techniques to replace the consumption of their own spell items.
And the more sophisticated master casters are more able to combine the two, complement their strengths and weaknesses, and create powerful magical equipment, and Master Messer is one of the few alchemy masters in Selt.
In Donald's view, alchemy is more like a combination of chemistry and physics in the previous life, especially the production of alchemical potions, which is almost exactly similar to chemical experiments, while the engraving of magic circles is like the physics knowledge of electrical circuits, and the processing methods of those alchemical materials and formulas are equivalent to the perfect combination of industrial chemistry and physics.
Although Messer is not a full-fledged alchemist, he is very fond of studying alchemy, and he has an extraordinary talent, and with his strength to step into the ranks of silver mages, his achievements in alchemy item manufacturing and enchantment factions have reached the level of ordinary orthodox silver alchemists. It is precisely because of his immersion in alchemy and the relationship between too many times of enchantment that he has dragged down his promotion to the mage level, and he has not mastered level 7 spells for a long time and has become a real silver element mage.
Watching this master make alchemy items made Donald, who had only been exposed to the fur of alchemy, very rewarding.
It took half an hour for Messer's item to be successfully refined.
It was a small, modest tiara that was not set with any precious jewels, because the jewel itself emitted enough light to outshine any gemstone that did not shine on its own. This is the magic aura generated by the cleansing technique attached above, although it is only a faint layer, but it is enough to make the wearing unique.
There is no doubt that this piece of women's jewelry was naturally not prepared by the old mage for himself, but should have been a gift for a certain noble lady or lady.
Donald made a few turns in his heart, then stopped his gossip about Master Messer and saluted him respectfully.
"It's Donald Jr.! I'm sorry to keep you waiting!"
The old mage's tone revealed his love for the juniors, and Donald hurriedly smiled and said:
"I can watch the process of the teacher's alchemy works, but many mages can't ask for it, so I won't let go of such a good opportunity!"
"Your eagerness to learn is gratifying! After many apprentices become official mages, they lose their original persistence and perseverance, and in the last life, they will not be able to break through the threshold of third-level spells and become a bronze mage!"
Seeing Messer's heartfelt sigh, Donald smiled and changed the subject:
"The teacher will definitely be able to step into the gold realm, Donald hopes to follow in your footsteps and become a gold powerhouse!"
Messer shook his head and smiled when he heard this:
"I'm really old! I have received your encouragement, let's work together to improve!"
After a tacit exchange between the two, Donald brought up the business of the trip.
Seeing Donald take out two crystal bottles, which were obviously filled with wine, the old mage asked with some puzzlement:
"Is there anything to celebrate, why are you bringing out the wine before it's dinner time?"
