Since neither side wanted to make the meeting public, the location was chosen near a bushflower dwelling outside Coventry.

It was a breezy and sunny afternoon, and the scent of spring had fully arrived, and it seemed that you could smell the aroma of flowers and honey. A group of heavily armed molten gold warriors appeared on the road, wearing thick coats inlaid with lead foil, boat-shaped leather helmets, and small leather shields tied around their wrists, guarding the three robed apothecaries in a wedge-shaped array.

Merlin Avery arrived earlier than the Apothecary's group. A table had been erected at the foot of the low hill where they met, and instead of any food or drink, two rows of crystal bottles filled with alchemical potions were placed.

The young apothecary and the Night Falcon Team Uniken Skylark sat at the table, talking in a low voice, the former looking flat and the latter barely pretending to be calm, but the excitement was evident at a glance. As for the mentor-level molten warrior mentioned in the intel, it doesn't seem to be attending this meeting.

The robes of the three pharmacists were not the same. The one on the left was dressed in a black robe with an hourglass and crystal beaker badge on his chest and a humble smile on his face, while the one on the right was much older, also wearing a black robe, but without the apothecary badge and carrying an iron-tipped wooden staff. Walking between the two, the tall old man with a solemn and solemn expression was the President of the Coventry Apothecary Guild of Heldland, a veteran alchemy teacher and the prestige of the Miracle Hand.

When the team of the Apothecary's Guild was still a hundred meters away, Avery stopped talking and got up to greet him. The young man was dressed in something peculiar today, with a thick coat and a wide belt, not at all like a pharmacist, but like an adventurer, except that he wore a half-cloak of Yahan brocade on the outside.

Uniken Skylark happened to be well aware of the price of the Yahan brocade. This half-cloak is made of more than half a meter of material, and is woven with intricate and magnificent patterns of mythril silk, and the edge of the cloak is inlaid with snow-white fur. Even if you ignore the alchemic fluctuations that faintly emanate from the cloak, the value will not be inferior to that of a noble manor.

Even a mercenary knows something, and President Heldland certainly doesn't know it. The majestic and grim-looking old man secretly marveled at the high value of the half-cloak, and walked towards Avery with a reserved face.

"An alchemy genius who is too young to be amazed, an item of alchemy that is so expensive that it is enviable...... You are right, Lord Basten, that this is indeed becoming more and more like a hoax. ”

No matter what President Hellland thought in his heart, there was not the slightest hint on his face. The two sides exchanged greetings and brief pleasantries around the long table, and President Herderland introduced his two companions, Pharmacist Robin and Apothecary Deben, and then immediately turned the conversation to the ultimate purpose of the meeting.

"To put it bluntly, Mr. Avery, your proposal intrigues us very much. "When President Heldland spoke, his tone and expression were impeccable, and he had a confident bearing. "Coventry is located on the border of the Empire, and the Apothecary's Guild is relatively short of talent, so if we can have a strong mentor join us, of course we will welcome it. ”

"Thank you very much, Elder. Everie nodded with a smile, as if he didn't understand President Heldland's words at all, "I am willing to take on all the obligations of the guild members, except that I must remain anonymous, and even a few more, in exchange for your generous permission." ”

"It's a bit early to say that. President Hellland never seemed to smile, "Allow my companion to test the potions you brought, Mr. Avery Eyver, did you make them yourself?"

"Of course, Elder, please feel free to test it. ”

President Heldland gestured to the two companions, then sat down on the empty chairs at the table. In fact, as a alchemy master, he was also curious about the quality and effectiveness of those potions, but unfortunately, the identity of the guild leader was both an honor and a confinement.

After a few minutes, the pharmacist of Roban straightened up first, and there was a hint of praise hidden in his tone, "The quality of these potions is very high, and the method of the formulator is unique. The raw materials all look very ordinary, and I can see that they have been purified and purified at least twice, once before the raw materials are fused, and the technique is more special, and the style is not visible, and once is in the late stage of fusion, when it is about to be completed, which is a bit like the academic style of Minnesota. Being able to successfully purify twice is certainly the technique of a senior mentor. ”

"I agree. Deben Apothecary continued slowly, "There are also several masters in the guild who are good at concocting high-level alchemy potions, but none of them can reach this level. ”

The very old pharmacist then paused, and his voice changed, "Despite this, I still have some doubts, why only high-grade alchemy elixirs? In order to better show his strength and value, shouldn't he take out a few mentor-level potions?"

The corners of Avery's mouth twitched slightly, and it was a wry smile that he pressed down. Of course, he can get the mentor-level alchemy potion, and among the lost knowledge of the ancient civilization, there is already a way to overstep the level of the potion, but the success rate is pitiful, and the quality is barely qualified.

However, on the Waste Materials Trading Platform in the City of Wisdom, Avery saw that the quality of the mentor-level alchemy potions was perfect, although most of them required citizen points to trade, but from Mr. Sancho, they could be exchanged for alchemy materials.

The thought that he had wasted enough raw materials to exchange for a perfect quality alchemy potion gave Avery no urge to experiment with concoctions. Of course, he knew that this kind of thinking was very inappropriate, as an alchemist, how could he improve his abilities without experimenting?

But there wasn't enough place to stay right now, and Avery decided to save as much as he could.

"My work is a bit of a waste of materials, and I am not mature in terms of purification techniques......

"That is, you can only offer what ordinary pharmacists can provide?" Derben Apothecary interrupted in a somewhat impatient tone, and then turned away, "Elder, I suggest you reconsider this young man's request, it is true that the Coventry Apothecaries Guild lacks talent, but at least in terms of ordinary pharmacists, there are enough of them. ”

"Ordinary pharmacists can't concoct so many high-quality, high-grade potions. President Helderland replied silently in his heart, but on the surface, of course, he had to act with respect for Pharmacist Deben.

"What Master Deben said makes sense, Mr. Avery If, if you can't provide mentor-level alchemy potion, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take care of you and allow you to become an anonymous member of the guild. ”

It's a tactic, a negotiation technique, an excuse for temptation, and not many people will fail to hear it.

However, Avery didn't seem to understand, and the young apothecary scratched his hair with a sad face, "Provide mentor-level potions...... Hey, this is really troublesome now, without a good environment and alchemy melting equipment, the chance of modulation failure will be relatively large. ”

President Hellland couldn't help but tilt his mouth. His always majestic demeanor was distorted a little as a result. Even for him, who is known as the hand of miracles, there is still a chance of failure in concocting mentor-level potions, and even more so for pharmacists who have just been promoted to mentors, so that the Pharmacists Guild has lowered the promotion conditions several times, and the current requirement is that if a qualified product is successfully concocted within three times, he can be promoted to a mentor.

To his surprise again, Avery muttered to himself as he opened the apothecary's satchel and took out several bottles of potions from it. "Of course, if it's just a mentor-level potion, I still have some options here. ”

Those bottles of potions immediately attracted everyone's attention, and after just a brief look, Roban Pharmacist's eyes widened in surprise. Even President Helderland and Deben Apothecary couldn't help but look surprised—of course, the latter's real identity was Deben Basten, the chief instructor of the Coventry Apothecary Guild.

"These are my ...... The finished product of the companion blend is guaranteed in terms of quality and quantity. Avery explained as lightly as possible, "Of course, it's worth a lot, and my companion doesn't value money, he is never short of money, only some precious and scarce alchemy raw materials,"

Pharmacist Roban trembled his hands and tried to pick up one of the potions to take a closer look, but he was slapped on the arm by Pharmacist Deben and had to take his hands back again. "Don't touch these, every bottle is a masterpiece, and if you knock over a bottle, you can't afford to lose if you sell it. ”
