After hearing how the queen used potions to control the entire Mage Guild, the old man also showed a look of surprise.

"Ancient potion recipes, plus some special methods of curses......" He pondered for a moment, then suddenly showed an eager expression, and said, "What about the formula?

Clearly, the old man's interest had been fished for—which was exactly what Benjamin meant.

So, he handed the old man the draft recipe that the mage guild leader had researched.

The guild president said that this potion is difficult to crack, at least at the level of a master. And the old man in front of him, whether he is a master or not, doesn't know, but at least he is more powerful than those potion mages under Benjamin.

Perhaps, the old man can help them crack this strange potion.

“...... How's that? Can you see any eyebrows?"

After waiting on the side for a while, seeing that the old man was silent for a long time, he had no choice but to ask. However, the old man waved his hand impatiently, threw out a sentence of "what's the hurry", and then continued to look down and study the various materials on the paper.

Benjamin was a little helpless, and could only wait patiently.

The old man studied for about half an hour. Then, he gradually put down the formula, woke up Benjamin, who was about to fall asleep on the back of his chair, and asked with a serious face, "Are you sure this recipe is real?"

Benjamin rubbed his eyes and said, "It's true, yes, but this is a formula developed by someone else, and it certainly can't be 100% accurate." ”

"It has nothing to do with preparation, it's just that just looking at the ingredients on the recipe, I can't think of how to put them together to achieve the kind of life contract effect you said. ”

Benjamin frowned: "That...... What can these materials achieve?"

"It's complicated to say. The old man shook his head and said, "It may be a hallucination, a debilitating ...... It is also possible that the mental power is abnormal. In short, the medicinal properties of these materials are all related to the spirit, and even if they are combined, they should not have any effect on the human body. ”

Benjamin didn't quite understand.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" he said, shrugging his shoulders, "perhaps this potion is associated with a curse that can make the mage's psychic power associated with the queen." Once the queen dies, the mage's mental power will also be depleted, and then they will die of weakness. ”

"I understand, but ...... I don't think so. ”

Benjamin wondered, "What's wrong?"

"Forget it, you're not a potion mage, and I can't explain it to you. The old man waved his hand and said, "Is there a sample? the potion that was made, or the blood of someone who drank it." If you want me to help you, you've got to offer something. ”

When Benjamin heard this, he thought for a while and said, "It is estimated that it will be difficult to get the potion, but my own blood, this is very simple." ”

"Simple? Where's the thing?"

Benjamin spread his hands and said, "Not here again." We captured some mages from the Mage Guild and were locked up on the side of Caritus. If you want their blood, you can only go to Caritus. ”

"So troublesome?" said the old man, looking too lazy to run that far, "The Mage Guild is full of people, you can just kill one and get a few bottles of blood, can't you?"

"Of course not, that's too high-profile! The Queen doesn't know I've infiltrated Ikor. Besides, how long can a person's blood be kept, and can you figure out how to crack it in a few days? After a few days, the blood is no longer available, do I have to kill you again? ”

The old man said as a matter of course: "People from the Mage Guild, isn't it good to kill a few more?"

“......”

Benjamin was speechless.

...... How much hatred?

"If you hate those Mage Guild people so much, why do you want to stay in Ikor and find yourself unhappy?" he persuaded, "Go to Carretus, where the captured mages will be locked up, and they can take blood for research at any time, and the environment will definitely be much better than here." ”

He said it naturally, as if the old man was really just invited to work out a way to crack potions and dissolve the Mage Guild. But it is clear that Benjamin's proposal is implicitly selfish.

The Academy of Magic is about to be built, but on his side, there are few potion mages who can hold up the scene.

The president gave the old man a high evaluation, and with such an arrogant temper, the old man should also have some real skills. If they can take advantage of this opportunity to bring the old man closer to the Academy of Magic, it will be a great boost for them!

However, the old man's attitude is still so stubborn.

"What the hell is Carretus? I'm not going. ”

"Senior, we're going to build an academy of magic in Carretus soon. Rich or poor, all gifted people can enter the academy to study magic. Now the mage environment in Carretus is very free, and many cities have opened up special mage areas......"

"Come on, after all this, you don't want to win me over to you? Don't waste your efforts, my store is here, and I'm not going anywhere. ”

Benjamin had a bit of a headache.

"Senpai, I'm not going to force you to do anything. If you're interested in the Queen's potion, we can go to Carretus and work on it together. After researching, if you don't think Carretus is good, we won't keep it. ”

"Am I stupid? I won't keep it, the Mage Guild has already used this trick. ”

“......”

Benjamin couldn't help but rub his temples.

What's so good about this place? The people of the Mage Guild come to look for trouble twice in three days, why is the old man still stubbornly like this, and he refuses to move?

He also felt helpless.

"If you don't go to Carretus, it's impossible to go on with potion research. Senior, think about Ikor's other mages, you're saving their lives!" he stubbornly persuaded.

The old man looked indifferent: "Their lives are my business." ”

"Don't you want to get rid of the Mage Guild?"

"I don't want to. ”

"Then why are you so interested in this potion formula?"

"Because I'm an apothecary. The old man replied with a look of disdain, "You potion is an unheard of existence. It challenged everything I had ever learned, so I wanted to study it. ”

Benjamin seemed to find hope of persuasion, and immediately said, "Then you should go to Caritus! ”

"Forget it, I'm not going. ”

“......”

Benjamin almost got.

This temper ...... It's really a stone in a pit, smelly and hard.

The old man also handed the formula back to Benjamin and said, "Take your recipe and go back." Since I can't study it, there's no point in staying here. If it's okay, please leave, it's tea time for Miss Mona Lisa. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the big cat again, and didn't even look at Benjamin again.
