Chapter 85 Fame
Walking into the familiar underground market, there are apprentices walking by intermittently around.
Walking in the meantime, Adier was wearing a gray robe, walking here with his head down, not at all conspicuous among the surrounding apprentices.
Because they were all wizard apprentices, there was not much noise around, and it was basically quiet, only the sound of hurried footsteps kept ringing.
Walking through this area, Adil looked around casually, as if looking for something.
Finally, he stopped at the booth of an old man in a black robe.
Feeling the sound of Adier's footsteps, in front of Adier's eyes, the old man raised his head and looked at Adier: "What do you need?"
He said in an indifferent voice, it didn't look like he was doing business, but rather like he was chasing people.
"Something needed to make a potion."
Listening to the other party's voice, Adil didn't care and said directly.
"Heh, another apprentice who wants to refine pharmaceuticals."
Listening to Adil's words, the black-robed old man shook his head: "I advise you, for those of you, if you have the magic stone to buy these things, you might as well save a few more lessons, which will be far more helpful in the future. These things are bigger."
"I've been in the academy for so many years, and I haven't seen a few apprentices who can really refine anything. It's not a waste of the magic stone in their hands."
Listening to Adil's words, the black-robed old man shook his head and looked at him and exhorted.
"If you don't even try, how do you know you can't do it?"
Adil's face was calm, and he didn't respond at all to the other party's admonition.
Looking at Adil's appearance, on the opposite side, the black-robed old man sighed to himself and stopped trying to say anything.
He had seen too many people like this before, and he was very confident at the beginning of each time, thinking that if he learned a little knowledge of pharmacy, he would be able to start refining pharmacy directly, but in the end, it was not that nothing came out, it was wasted resources.
He only saw that Adil was too young and didn't seem to have a deep background to provide resources, so he persuaded him aloud, lest he delay himself.
Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, he was also very direct, and took out a lot of equipment from behind, which looked a little old: "These are second-hand goods used by apprentices in the past. Although they are a few years old, they can still be used. Five magic stones."
"Very fair price."
Hearing this price, Adil nodded.
The equipment required by the wizard to refine the potion itself is very rare, and often requires high precision. Generally, the price of a new complete set is about ten magic stones.
Although this set may be a little older, at least it is not broken and can continue to be used. The price of five magic stones is not too expensive.
After roughly testing these tools and confirming that there is no problem, Adiel took out five magic stones from the cloth bag on his waist and quietly placed them in front of the other party.
"what···"
Suddenly, the black-robed old man let out a surprise.
He looked at Adil's ears, and the black hair with silver mixed in, with a surprised expression on his face: "Are you the half-elf in the rumor?"
Suddenly, Adil's movements froze, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He looked at the black-robed old man in front of him. Although his face was calm, there was a doubt in his eyes.
"Don't look at me like that."
Looking at Adil's eyes, the black-robed old man said, "Your business has recently spread in the academy."
"Many people know that a half-elf apprentice appeared in the academy. He has a strong talent in pharmacy and has been appreciated by Lord Seymour."
A complex expression appeared on his face, mixed with emotions such as surprise, envy, jealousy, etc., and finally returned to calm: "If it's you, then it's no wonder. With your talent, it is also very important to start the experiment of refining medicine now. normal.
"
In front of him, Adil was completely stunned.
During the long time he has been in the academy, he has been very low-key. In addition to meditation, he usually attends classes. Apart from having to accept some tasks due to the lack of magic stones, he has not had too much communication with other people at all, so naturally he will not know these situations.
However, listening to the words of the black-robed old man in front of him, he had a faint understanding in his heart.
These things that the other party said, if someone carefully pursues them, there is actually no way to hide them.
As a half-elf, Adil itself is different from ordinary humans. Whether it is the slightly sharp ears compared to ordinary people, or the long pale silver hair that is displayed on the outside, it cannot be concealed. Experienced wizards can tell the difference. It's normal to come out.
The same is true in pharmacy.
His performance in the pharmacy course was actually watched by other apprentices who attended the class together, many of whom were apprentices from powerful wizarding families, and the late Semora mentor showed him the importance, time After a long time, it will naturally leave an impression on some people.
Not to mention anything else, Adil was able to catch up with those high-level apprentices who had studied pharmacy for more than ten years in just a few months, and he never fell behind from basic courses to fee-based courses. Some people have a reputation for being a genius in pharmacy.
However, in a sense, this is not a bad thing.
Whether it is a half-elf bloodline or a pharmacy genius, it has high value in the eyes of wizards, at least the kind that is more valuable to be alive than dead. Except for wizards like Gomorrah who want to dissect Adil, other high-level officials will protect Adil to some extent.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly became calm, and his face returned to calm.
"Bring my things here."
Looking at the black-robed old man in front of him, Adil spoke directly.
But looking at Adil's appearance, the old man had no objection.
It was obviously the same performance. Before, he only thought that Adil was whimsical, but now, he only felt that Adil was full of confidence, and even had some inexplicable confidence in him.
That's the difference a halo of genius makes.
"In addition to the full set of equipment, what else do you need?"
Silently packing up the things on the side, the old man spoke again, this time his tone was much lighter than before.
Standing in the same place, Adil thought for a while, and then said: "Come on, the material of the very healing potion."
This is the primary potion in pharmacy, and it is also one of the very few potions whose formulas are made public. It can quickly heal wounds, and it can be regarded as one of the primary potions commonly used by wizards.
However, although the formula of the potion was almost made public, it was only relatively easy for a wizard to obtain it for an apprentice.
The reason why Adil has this formula is that Teacher Seymour taught him when he was taking a fee-based class in pharmacy before.
"Ten parts of healing potion materials, remove those fractions, and count you as a magic stone."
In front of him, the old man glanced at Adil and took out a few boxes from the side: "My name is Ella, and I have been at the academy for decades."
"Others can't be guaranteed, but in pharmacy, if you need something, you can come to me and have a look. You will never be disappointed."
He looked at Adil and said so.
