Chapter 5: The Reclusive Alchemist
Woke up Lance, Lin Li gave him the boiling potion and asked him to go to the Mage Guild to find the person in charge, asking for a senior mage certificate and using the potion in exchange.
This time, Lance didn't hesitate at all, turned around and walked towards the Mage Guild.
The main reason was that Lin Li's strength shocked him. Mages are not fools, they are a group of people who can be called geniuses, and when they find out that someone can crush them in terms of strength, most of them will quickly change their attitude, or at least maintain respect for you.
After all, people with masochistic addiction are in the minority, and the world of mages does not look at the process, but only at the result, which is your strength.
If you are a Heaven Rank powerhouse, then without the intervention of other Heaven Rank powerhouses, you are the one who decides everything, and it is not a casual thing to say that you are ants below the Heaven Rank.
Seeing Lance's departing figure, Lin Li also brought another bottle of divine elixir, found two people to inquire about the location of the auction house, and rushed over in the direction of the imperial auction house.
In fact, in Brandi City, there are two places to choose to sell potions, one is the Alchemist Guild, and the other is the Imperial Auction House.
If Lin Li chooses to sell in the Alchemist Guild, the profit he will receive will actually be reduced. Because the status of the alchemist's guild is generally beyond the mundane, for alchemists, money is never a pursuit, because as long as they are willing to make money, wealth will go into the account in large sums of money, and the thirst for alchemy knowledge is eternal.
If the Alchemist Guild saw such a bottle of potion close to the level of a master, they would give Lin Li the status he deserved as an alchemist, and they would give him high authority, but he would not get enough funds in front of him.
That's why Lin Li went to the Imperial Auction House. 、
Imperial auction houses usually have rather ornate and magnificent gates, even in such a small border town, which, after all, represents the dignity of the royal family.
After this magnificent gate, the inside is not as well cared for as the gate.
Circle of seats, auction tables with a large red curtain, and a few boxes that are high above and overlook the crowd, which are for certain local bigwigs, people of extraordinary status.
Lin Li looked at it and walked straight towards the counter where the auction items were appraised.
The counter was deserted, with only one young man napping.
Lin Li knocked on the table, and the man seemed to hear the noise, and opened his eyes sleepily.
"What's the matter?" the opening was a formulaic inquiry, but it was obvious that this person was in a bad mood.
Lin Li didn't make any other moves, he took out the bottle of "Divine Elixir". The man didn't even touch it, and when he glanced at it from a distance, he showed a bored expression.
"What boring garbage, low-grade potions, inferior recovery potions. He yawned and said in a low voice, "You dare to disturb Uncle Ben's sleep?"
Regaining his serious appearance, he said in a businesslike tone: "A bottle of inferior recovery potion, estimated at 100 gold coins, if you want to keep it, I can find you a low-level auction to sell it, but there is no guarantee that anyone will buy this inferior potion." As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Li to see how he reacted.
"If it's sold, I'll let you know, and then you can get the money yourself. ”
Lin Li said, "Actually." ”
As soon as he got up, he was interrupted by the service staff, "Don't explain yourself, it's useless, it's garbage that can't be sold, I should thank me if I can sell it to you, I've never seen an alchemy apprentice with such a thick skin as you." He changed his expression of disdain, and he was a little distraught.
"Young people, listen to my advice, if you don't have the strength, don't expect to get benefits and recognition. Looking at your appearance, you should still be an alchemy apprentice, go back and settle for a few years with peace of mind, and come back to find opportunities in a few years, as far as you are now, I only see speculation and arrogance. ”
Lin Li listened to these words, he really couldn't laugh or cry, when he was an alchemy apprentice, the person in front of him didn't know where he was, and today he was actually educated by him in an old-fashioned manner.
Just kidding, a bottle of potion close to the level of a master is actually considered to be an inferior recovery potion, and it is also estimated to be worth 100 gold coins.
Even if Lin Li is the wrongdoer, there is no such method of slaughter, and Lin Li really doesn't bother to explain to the man in front of him, there are so many people with cognitive defects in the Barton Continent, if Lin Li has to talk about it again, let them be convinced, will they still be alive?
A mage's time is too precious to be wasted on something inconsequential.
Just as Lin Li was packing up his things, an old man wearing a black mage robe with kind eyes walked in.
Seeing the figure of this old man, the man in front of Lin Li immediately changed from head to toe, only to see him straighten his back, the laziness and old-fashioned attitude just now turned into a righteous face, if you add a bright light behind him and give him a cloak prop, even if he is allowed to star in a heroic epic drama, there is no problem.
Lin Li watched this benevolent brother's performance with interest, if necessary, in fact, he could also do it to this extent, he was not averse to this practice, as long as it could bring tangible benefits.
There are talented people in the rivers and lakes, and a new generation is better than the old.
The old man walked over and asked the man, "Rowan, what's going on?" At the same time, he looked at Lin Li and nodded at him slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Hello, Joseph auctioneer, this alchemy apprentice just brought a bottle of alchemy potion and was about to participate in the auction, I identified it as an inferior recovery potion, he was a little angry and was about to leave. ”
This sentence is really clever, pointing out Lin Li's low strength, completely skipping his attitude, and expressing Lin Li's youthfulness.
With this sentence, Lin Li has some admiration for this Luo Wen, which can be made.
The Joseph auctioneer didn't say anything, just turned his head to look at Lin Li, and there was some doubt in his eyes.
Lin Li hooked the corners of his mouth, smiled lightly, and took out the bottle of divine elixir again and placed it on the table.
The old man didn't say anything, but Rowan couldn't help it: "Look, he just had such an attitude, it's really annoying, and this color is clearly a very inferior recovery potion, I estimated it at 100 gold coins, and he wasn't happy." ”
"Don't be angry, you can't do it, there are too many young people who don't respect their teachers now, or I'll let people kick him out?" Speaking of this, he looked at Lin Li defiantly, and even had a hint of gratitude, if it weren't for this kid, how could he have such a good opportunity to pat himself on the back?
Joseph's auctioneer was so shocked that he couldn't even maintain his usual calm expression.
Rowan looked at Joseph's auctioneer's expression, and sighed in his heart, what's wrong, what's wrong, how could Joseph's auctioneer show such an expression? So, he immediately closed his mouth.
I saw the old man staring at the pale yellow bottle of the potion with a divine aura.
He stretched out his trembling hand and asked Lin Li, "Excuse me, is this a divine elixir?"
"Yes. Lin Li affirmed.
"Oh my God!" the old man suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Li's face seriously. This is an alchemical potion close to the level of a giant, and for a small city like Brandy, every master is an irreplaceable wealth. Their superb alchemy skills can play with their enemies in the palm of their hands, and they can also make their companions suddenly burst into strong strength.
"With all due respect, at your age, you made it yourself?"
For this question, Lin Li didn't want to answer. Mu Xiu is destroyed by Lin Feng, Lin Li's personality is not the high-profile kind, and he does not want to be stared at by many eyes, which will hinder his progress. Being secretly watched and threatened by others is what Lin Li hates the most.
Jump out of the annoying enemy, pinch to death will not be much of a wave, because the dead can't speak.
Joseph the auctioneer waited for a while, but with no result, and knew that the question was a bit excessive, so he immediately changed the subject.
But he regarded Lin Li's silence as a concern, and immediately thought that this was the reason why Lin Li was a powerful alchemist living in seclusion behind him.
"I'm sorry, I was a little presumptuous. ”
"What do you need today? If you wish to auction this potion bottle, I will arrange for it to appear in the grand end-of-month auction of the month, and we will immediately start promoting it to ensure that it is auctioned for the price it deserves. In addition, if you need any additional services, we will consider them as soon as you say it is reasonable. ”
Joseph expressed the auction house's desire for this potion as soon as he came up, and at the same time, he also understood that these things were useless in the eyes of an alchemist who was close to the level of a great alchemist, and that he would have to give better terms in order to gain the favor of such an excellent alchemist.
Lin Li didn't have any other needs, so he didn't ask for anything, and left the auction hall with a few polite words.
It is worth mentioning that when Lin was about to leave, Joseph Auctioneer, the main person in charge of this imperial auction house, who was also a magician and a great alchemist, criticized Rowan in front of Lin Li.
Even in Lin Li's opinion, this criticism did not have the element of water release at all, and Rowan couldn't raise his head when he was scolded, and in the end, his face was flushed as if he had been slapped......
The next few days can be said to be quite relaxing for Lin Li.
Lance brought back good news from the Mage Guild, several high-level officials of the Mage Guild, when they saw the potion, they were immediately shocked, listened to Lance's request, and without saying a word, they made a VIP pass, which Lance brought back and handed to Lin Li.
Maybe this bottle of potion is a good thing to increase combat power for a short time, but everyone cares more about the maker of this potion that suddenly appeared.
It can be said that if there is really a hidden giant alchemist who comes to the small city of Brandi, it may cause turmoil.
Prior to this, the Alchemist's Guild, the Mage's Guild, and the Imperial Auction House were a three-legged powerhouse, and many families were divided into various camps under them. The many factions communicate with each other and compromise with each other to maintain the stability of Brandi City.
They are the leaders here, and a strong man at the level of a master can upset this balance to a certain extent.
Therefore, basically all the big people who have reached the level of the head of the family have heard the news of the mysterious potion and are worried about the future.
I don't know how many people, I said to my subordinates: "Put the work in your hands first, and go check the information of the mysterious alchemist first." ”
No one believed that an 18-year-old could have refined such an elixir, and the alchemist who had been searched all over the city was still leisurely dispensing potions at home, intending to restore the business of the alchemy shop first.
It's pretty funny.
