Chapter 79

The dim and messy mage's room.

Master Beiluo Rui sat alone on a dusty but exquisite and soft sofa, his hands crossed and placed on his knees, his whole body leaning back with his eyes closed.

It was very quiet in the room; Tang Zheng's figure had long since left.

Clang! Clang!

The sound of knocking on the door came through the wooden door.

Master Beiluo Rui did not make any movement; after the figure outside waited for a moment, they pushed the door open and walked in.

Such behavior was enough to show that the identity of this figure was not simple.

"Master, why haven't I seen the new disciple you recruited?"

"I heard that you brought someone here yourself; what kind of genius could make you so proactive? It's been a long time since any magic caster joined our guild here."

A half-joking, hearty laugh flooded in as the wooden door was pushed open.

This was a mage wearing a robe and holding an ebony staff, with a hint of nervousness between his brows; he looked to be in his 40s, but in reality, he was only 30 years old.

The other party was none other than Tikshil, the guild master of the "E-Rantel" Mages Guild.

"That's because your requirements are too high."

Master Beiluo Rui said indifferently with his eyes closed, not even raising his head.

Guild Master Tikshil also noticed at this time that Master Beiluo Rui was clearly not in high spirits, and the atmosphere was slightly off.

"What happened?"

The smile on Guild Master Tikshil's face faded; he stepped forward and sat on the sofa on the other side.

This time, Master Beiluo Rui did not speak but raised his hand to point at the blue solution in an ordinary transparent potion bottle placed on the table.

Guild Master Tikshil was somewhat surprised and picked up this strange potion: "Is this a new potion you developed?"

While puzzled.

Guild Master Tikshil activated his magic and said softly: "Identify Item!"

The entire potion bottle emitted a faint light.

"An alchemy potion with a paralyzing effect?" Guild Master Tikshil was naturally not a stupid person and soon realized something, "Is this the reason for refusing you?"

If one could refuse a scroll-making master without a justifiable reason, he wouldn't believe that the pedantic Master Beiluo Rui would be so calm.

The clear and bright blue liquid in the potion bottle.

Rather than saying it was an artificial object, it was more like a natural solution.

Clang, clang!

Suddenly, another knock on the door sounded.

"Enter." Master Beiluo Rui straightened up from the sofa.

Click!

The door was pushed open.

Grandmother Grandmother Liji, wrapped in a light green headscarf with her hands behind her back, walked in with an expressionless face.

She glanced at the two people in the room.

"Guild Master Tikshil."

Grandmother Grandmother Liji first nodded to the guild master, then looked at Master Beiluo Rui, her voice impatient and even carrying a hint of sarcasm,

"What did you have someone find me for? A pharmacist like me and a high-and-mighty scroll-making master like you don't have any intersection."

"Mrs. Bareare." Guild Master Tikshil was somewhat surprised, his peripheral vision glancing at Master Beiluo Rui.

These two had always been at odds.

"Give the alchemy potion to her."

Master Beiluo Rui's cheek twitched, and he spoke expressionlessly.

A gossipy look flashed in Guild Master Tikshil's eyes, but the expression on his face remained unchanged as he handed over the alchemy potion.

First, he took a look at the clear and bright potion.

Grandmother Grandmother Liji's eyes brightened slightly, and then she also cast an "Identify Item."

Soon.

Emotions of surprise, suspicion, and others appeared on her face.

"How is it?" Master Beiluo Rui asked.

Grandmother Grandmother Liji ignored him, reached out to open the potion bottle, took a few drops of the potion and dripped them onto her hand, stuck out her tongue to lick them a few times, and closed her eyes in thought.

Guild Master Tikshil saw that the two seemed concerned and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

He had also checked this alchemy potion just now, and the effect could only be considered average.

In his understanding, alchemy is generally used for auxiliary purposes; being able to make potions independently using alchemy shows that the youth has quite good talent in alchemy.

Under these circumstances, refusing scroll technology is indeed not a problem; after all, a person's energy is limited.

However!

Seeing the attitudes of Master Beiluo Rui and Grandmother Grandmother Liji, Guild Master Tikshil also realized the problem.

"Where did you get this alchemy potion?" "The effect of the potion can only be considered average, but there is a problem with the production method!"

Grandmother Grandmother Liji raised her head to look at Master Beiluo Rui and said with surprise, "I mean, I have never seen such technology."

"Using materials from magical beasts to make items or potions with special effects is nothing, but items produced by this means must contain the characteristics of these magical beasts."

"In the words of a pharmacist, it is 'impurities,' the kind that cannot be removed."

Grandmother Grandmother Liji said this, held up the clear and transparent alchemy potion in her hand, and looked at everyone as she spoke:

"But compared to this point!"

"What's more interesting is that this is not an enchanting technique."

"As expected." Master Beiluo Rui nodded gently, a flash of realization in his eyes.

He had noticed this problem before, but he had just asked Grandmother Grandmother Liji, who was more skilled in potions and alchemy, to confirm it.

"What do you mean?" Guild Master Tikshil on the side was somewhat bewildered.

The two in front of him, one was a scroll-making master and the other was an expert in pharmacy and alchemy; he couldn't quite understand the conversation between them.

=9+Shu_ba

Grandmother Grandmother Liji glanced at Guild Master Tikshil, seemingly not wanting to explain.

"Starting from the era of the Thirteen Heroes more than two hundred years ago."

"With the gradual loss of the Dwarven Kingdom's Rune technology, the enchanting technology mastered by our humans began to occupy the mainstream."

"Simply put, whether it is the enchanting of weapons, the production of scrolls, or various potions, etc., all are realized by relying on enchanting technology."

Master Beiluo Rui's face showed complex emotions, and he spoke softly.

"Where is the person who made this alchemy potion?"

Grandmother Grandmother Liji was full of enthusiasm.

"Left, the name is..." Master Beiluo Rui's voice paused.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have never asked for Tang Zheng's name, or perhaps from the very beginning, he didn't think anyone could refuse a scroll master.

"He is a black-haired youth; the other party masters such technology, perhaps he will have some intersection with you, you should pay attention."

Master Beiluo Rui looked at Grandmother Grandmother Liji and spoke again.

A black-haired youth?

Grandmother Grandmother Liji was stunned, and Tang Zheng's figure couldn't help but appear in her mind.

"I'm taking this bottle of alchemy potion." Grandmother Grandmother Liji didn't give Master Beiluo Rui a chance to speak and turned to leave.

Seeing this scene.

A helpless look appeared on Master Beiluo Rui's face.

"Being able to independently produce alchemy solutions and develop such technology, no wonder he looked down on my scroll-making methods."

Master Beiluo Rui sighed.

The use of alchemy has high requirements for magic control, which should also be the reason why the other party could produce "Paper-Making" at the same level as him.

"Master."

Guild Master Tikshil was actually somewhat worried at this moment.

"At least one thing can be certain: the other party is definitely not from the Slane Theocracy." Master Beiluo Rui leaned back on the sofa again.

"Are you sure?" A hint of solemnity appeared in Guild Master Tikshil's eyes.

"He took a Second Rank 'Summon Angel' scroll from me." Master Beiluo Rui waved his hand,

"If he were from the Slane Theocracy, that would be too unnecessary."

…………

On the other side.

Tang Zheng was already returning toward the small inn; he needed to experiment with the scroll-making technology as soon as possible, as this might involve whether he would do something next.

"Scroll-making master?"

"Such a title feels very dangerous, right, Blackie."

Tang Zheng looked at the active small evil spirit dog following by his side, "What do you think of the title 'Genius Alchemist'?"

"Combined with the identity of a faith-based magic caster who also doesn't have a high threat level, it seems pretty good."

"Awoo."

The small evil spirit dog gave a light cry; it naturally couldn't understand Tang Zheng's words, but that didn't prevent it from responding.

As mentioned earlier, pharmacists and alchemists are considered magic-class professions; on this point, readers might have doubts, and I will post an Easter egg chapter with Enri's data chart later.

Enri can use Second Rank magic because the two professions of alchemist and pharmacist were calculated.
