Hearing Satum's exclaimed cry, a subtle wry smile appeared on Merlin Avery's face. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Why do you have to push me to this point?" he said silently in his heart, "I just wanted to show my worth in exchange for a slightly more comfortable life." ”

Satum didn't read the wry smile on Avery face, or that he didn't think that a newly graduated apprentice was capable of challenging his position, and he felt that he had gained the upper hand, and he raised his chin arrogantly.

"How about it? Young people of the academic school, don't think that you can be considered a qualified alchemist if you know a few high-level solution recipes, how many of them are you capable of concocting?"

"About four or five, seniors. Avery replied in a tone of pretense humility, "There are a few things that are not well grasped, either they are waste of raw materials or they are not of high quality." ”

A bruise on Satum's cheek jumped a few times, which was a sign of him forcibly swallowing a bad breath, "I must suppress this kid fiercely, with my most successful high-grade alloy solution!" he secretly snapped a breath, then took a breath, barely maintaining his arrogant expression and tone.

"You mentioned red copper-lead amalgam, it's an alloy solution with little real effect, it's just something that the potions masters use to show off their skills. I have here a recipe for a high-grade alloy solution that is not much more difficult to prepare than it is - the Rapid Elixir, young man, have you ever heard of the name?"

"Ah, the Rapid Elixir, I know! Mentor Tang Ge is good at mixing this, but unfortunately, I am not blessed to intern with Mentor Tang Ge. Avery deliberately frowned and sighed, in fact, he could barely hide his excitement, "Senior, can you teach me how to concoct the Extreme Speed Elixir?"

Satum's heart sank, he knew very well that his formula for the Extreme Pills was a weakened version, and the effect was far inferior to the genuine formula, and several harmful substances in it had not been completely purified and eliminated, and taking it regularly would cause great damage to the body.

However, the number of molten gold warriors who can catalyze zinc-tin alloy is extremely small, and there is only one in Scrap Iron Town, and it is only at the intermediate level, and even the weakened formula in Satum's hand cannot be fully exerted. He also took it for granted that what he had concocted was the real speed potion.

"Of course, I can't compare to Mentor Dongo at Blouffrey College, I'm just a pharmacist. Satum calmed down for a moment, and his arrogant tone lowered slightly, "Teaching is over, how about using the speed potion to compete? Since you were able to graduate from Buffrey College, you must have been exposed to the formula of the speed potion, right?"

Avery did come across the recipe for the Speedy Potion, but not during the exam, but in the ancient books of the library. Buffrey's graduation exam didn't involve speedy potions, as not many of Buffrey's apprentices would have successfully graduated if an expert-grade alloy solution had been used as a question for the alchemy graduation exam.

Avery wasn't going to tell the truth, though. Satum's strength as an alchemist can only be regarded as very ordinary, and the high-level solution formula he has mastered may be the only one, in case the difficulty of the competition questions is reduced to the configuration of some intermediate solution, it will make Avery feel difficult to deal with.

"Okay, then I'll ask my seniors for advice. Avery nodded happily in agreement, and then rubbed his hands again, looking itchy and unbearable, "Before you mix the Extreme Speed Elixir, can you please announce the formula?" My mentor once told me that the Academy's alchemy potion formula is not set in stone, and with the simplest ferroalloy solution, there will be at least seven or eight improved formulas in fifty years, and the effect has its own advantages and disadvantages. ”

Satum felt blood dripping from his heart, but he couldn't back down from the many longing glances cast from behind. Seeing that Avery had already ripped through a roll of parchment and began to copy the recipe for the Speedy Potion from Broughfry, he nodded generously and sent an apprentice to fetch his special parchment and quill.

Even when he had to publish the recipe, Satum deliberately omitted several blending steps and material dosages. If this recipe is strictly followed, it is indeed possible to concoct an alloy solution, but instead of a speedy potion, it is a burst of death - an alloy solution that has a very similar effect to the speedy potion, but at the cost of overdrawing the life of the molten warrior.

The difficulty of concocting the Death Burst is far lower than that of the Extreme Speed Elixir, and it is barely a medium-grade alloy solution. Due to the high lethality and the amplitude of the increase, few molten warriors are willing to take it. In particular, the number of molten gold warriors who can catalyze zinc-tin alloys is scarce, and there are many better options even if they need to fight for their lives.

Satum didn't underestimate Avery, he was already prepared for the possibility that Avery would be able to successfully concoct an improved Haste Elixir - the original would definitely not be possible, and successfully concocting the original Haste Elixir would mean being eligible to wear the Expert Pharmacist badge. Once Avery successfully concocted the Death Burst according to the recipe, the mid-level molten gold warrior in Scrap Iron Town would basically be killed after taking it.

In this way, there is no doubt about the winner of the competition, and the molten warriors of Scrap Iron must be furious, and Avery must accept his own protection if he does not want to be lynched.

Satum was very happy to provide shelter, but certainly not for free, and the alchemy potion recipes in Avery's hands were the best reward.

Seeing Avery expertly inspecting the alchemy tools and materials, Satum's eyes couldn't help but ignite a spark of jealousy. It's a treasure that every Wild Road Alchemist dreams of, and it is now within his reach.

Naturally, the competition needs a referee, and Ola was the first to accept the invitation. Later, the leader of Victor also received the news and rushed to the laboratory as fast as he could, followed by a short, sallow-faced molten gold warrior.

The leader of Victor is a burly, bald man, whose movements and expressions have a kind of brutality and tyranny characteristic of gangsters, but he is quite polite in front of Ora, even with a hint of awe.

"This is the scout leader of Scrap Iron Town, Tartatu the Swiftwalker. He introduced his entourage to Ola, "In Scrap Irontown, he is the only one who can catalyze zinc-tin alloys. ”

Ora narrowed his eyes and looked at Tartatu slightly, "Falcon Wings, Ring of Speed, Frenzy Fission, or Real Phantom?" he asked suddenly.

Tartatu's voice replied with a little nervousness, and seemed to be mixed with a hint of smugness, "Ring of Speed, Lord Aura, the range of influence is ......"

Aura immediately made a gesture of stopping, "Don't say it, Tartatu, it's a life-and-death secret, and even someone you absolutely trust can't confide in him." ”

Tartattu closed his mouth in a huff. The number of molten gold warriors who can catalyze zinc-tin alloys is very small, and the ring of speed is a very rare alchemist ability, and it is with this ability that Tartatu can serve as the scout captain of Scrap Iron Town as an intermediate molten gold warrior, and his subordinates even manage several molten gold warriors who are already approaching the advanced level.

Merlin Avery looked at Tartatu for a little longer, even to the point of being rude. "Purple lips, flushed cheeks, and uncontrollable emotions......," his voice was as low as a whisper, and only Ola could barely hear it, "This is a sign of liver damage, and it is already very serious, is it the result of taking an inferior alloy solution for a long time?"

Ora's face turned ugly, "Every Swiftwalker is a valuable asset, man, are you sure?" he clearly used the technique of melting alchemy, and his voice was small and clear, ringing directly in Avery's ears.

"Unfortunately, I can't. Avery shrugged his shoulders and replied softly in a solemn tone, "There are many causes of liver damage, alcoholism, indulgence, and injuries are all very common causes. However, taking the potion made by the Alchemist of Wild Road is obviously also a relatively common factor. ”

Perhaps dissatisfied and worried about the private communication between the two, Satum interrupted with some impatience, "Time is very precious, and this is true for every scholar who is interested in the study of alchemy. Young man, how much more time are you going to delay us?"

"If you don't mind, you can get started now. Avery skillfully lit the magic blowtorch and set the scales at hand, "My preparations are over. ”

Satum snorted, his preparations weren't quite over. It had been a long time since he had personally carried out these untechnical preparations, whether it was setting the scales, washing test tubes, or lighting the blowtorches, which he usually left to his assistant apprentices to do in advance.

However, this time it was not possible, any detail in the competition could be an excuse to shirk responsibility, and Satum had to do it himself.

It slowed down for a full five minutes before Satum snapped and lit the magic blowtorch to announce the end of the preparations. "Looks like your practical experience isn't bad, young man. He said in a condescending tone of approval, "You usually spend more time in the lab than in the library, don't you?"

"You've won the prize, senior. Avery shook the parchment full of alchemy formulas, "The Academy's alchemy lab needs to be exchanged for credits for time and materials to consume, and I can only try to increase the speed and success rate as much as possible, otherwise I will probably go bankrupt before I graduate." ”

Satum lowered his gaze, and remembered another hatred for Avery in his heart. "In the name of the god of alchemy, let's get started. He said.

Avery replied with a gesture, and with a movement of his fingers, the young man had already picked out two silvery-white powders of metal, and poured them on the delicate trays at each end of the scale. Satum cursed to himself and immediately made the same move.

The most critical point for the successful preparation of the fast agent is that the weight of zinc powder and tin powder must be equal as much as possible, no matter what kind of metal powder is more, it must be purified with great energy in the later stage, otherwise it is an unqualified product with too high impurity content.

Both Avery and Satum were well aware of this point, and in the beginning, both of them focused on the alchemy balance, and almost every metal particle as fine as dust had to be carefully increased or decreased. Especially Satum, whose solemn posture with a tense face and hands as steady as cast iron made everyone onlookers involuntarily hold their breath.

Only Ora and Victor, who were able to freely use their teleportation powers, exchanged opinions silently, "I've never seen Master Satum show such nervousness. The latter exclaimed in the teleportation technique, "You have really unearthed a precious piece of unpolished raw ore." ”

"You think he's a raw mine, but I think he's already a gem. Ora pursed her lips in disagreement, "Satum's temper is far greater than his ability, I've told you several times." ”

The leader of Victor scratched his scalp in embarrassment, "I'm still optimistic about Satum, at least he can provide 300 alchemy potions every year, including 10 speed potions, which is not something that ordinary alchemists can do." ”

"Then let's wait and see...... "Ora nodded with a smirk, "I've always suspected whether it's correct." ”
