Chapter 98: Invitation from the Herb Guild? Imperial Magic Academy

He pulled open the heavy, dark brown gate carved with some kind of flower Tang Zheng didn't recognize.

This conspicuous flower logo should be the family crest of the minor noble who originally owned this courtyard; it was carved very finely, revealing that the gate was not cheap.

However!

The creaking sound of the leather and iron buckles at the wall connection when the gate was pushed open proved that this pair of expensive gates had not been maintained for a long time.

A middle-aged man dressed in a black gentleman's suit with a ruddy complexion looked at Tang Zheng, who appeared in his field of vision, and the impatience in his eyes immediately vanished.

"Good evening, Mr. Tang."

Without waiting for Tang Zheng to speak, the middle-aged man took a step forward, bowed slightly, and then spoke with a determined smile on his face.

The professional fake smile, combined with the way he spoke first, looked like flattery, but actually carried an imposing manner of using power to suppress others.

"You even know my name; it seems you've put in a lot of effort." Tang Zheng's expression was calm, and he wasn't surprised.

Yi Mi Na didn't even know his name "Tang"; as a middleman, the other party didn't need to know the identity of the employer.

It wasn't difficult to find out where he lived; after all, all the potions flowed out from here through Yi Mi Na, and as long as they watched for a while, they could find the address.

"So, was it through the signed lease contract?" Tang Zheng chuckled; he had used his adventurer identity when signing the contract.

The fake smile on the middle-aged man's face stiffened slightly; the alchemist named Tang in front of him was much younger than he expected.

The pure white priest's robe and gentle expression gave him the feeling that he was easy to handle at first glance.

But just these one or two sentences.

The middle-aged man realized that this young alchemist was not only a troublesome character but also wouldn't be easily scared by a few words.

"My name is Bo Te, an apothecary belonging to the Herb Guild. Our guild is hosting a cocktail party tonight, and we have invited pharmacists from major herb workshops."

"Although the alchemical potions you make are not made from herbs, they are still a type of healing potion."

A professional smile reappeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he continued:

"Our president specifically invited Mr. Tang to attend."

After speaking, the middle-aged man turned to the side and pointed to a four-wheeled carriage behind him.

"Not interested."

Tang Zheng said lightly, turning around to return.

He had no interest in participating in such scheming activities; this was not only a waste of his time but also like having to sit down and act with this group of people when he could have just flipped the table.

It was both boring and uninteresting.

"Mr. Tang!"

"Are you sure you want to refuse? This is an opportunity for both of us." The middle-aged man's face turned cold, and his voice was clearly raised a notch.

If this were before the Bloody Emperor took the throne, let alone inviting this foreign alchemist, they would have dared to sell potions at such a low price so unscrupulously.

They wouldn't have let this young man see the next day's sun!

Of course.

That would be in the case of seizing the alchemical prescription in the other party's hands.

However, ever since the Bloody Emperor Jircniv took the throne, a large number of new regulations had been issued, allowing all kinds of emerging new things to pour in from all over the country.

Moreover, the Bloody Emperor Jircniv also greatly encouraged the emergence of various new things.

This forced many previous ways of doing things to change.

No one wanted to cause a stir and be targeted by the current Bloody Emperor; those who dared to stand out like this had already been cut down.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, making his voice sound a little softer again: "I see that the alchemical potions you make have a very short storage time; if you lack the 'Preservation' magic that allows for long-term storage."

"We can provide you with this magic, and even some other alchemical techniques."

"With your talent, after mastering this type of magic and alchemical technology, you will definitely be able to raise your level of alchemy to a higher level."

Speaking of this.

A smile had reappeared on the middle-aged man's face, "And we only need a little guidance on the alchemical potions you make."

Tang Zheng's forward steps paused, and he turned his head to look at the middle-aged man again, a smile appearing on his face.

The middle-aged man was overjoyed, thinking Tang Zheng had agreed.

"Not interested."

As soon as the words fell.

Whoosh!

A sound of breaking air suddenly came.

The black chain turned into a swimming snake, and before the middle-aged man could react, it was already wrapped around his neck, causing his face to turn red instantly, revealing a suffocating appearance.

"Awoo."

The small evil spirit dog's body swayed, and the bone chain swung suddenly, throwing the middle-aged man away, smashing him into the four-wheeled carriage not far away, causing him to scream. "Hiss-chirp!"

The horse pulling the carriage was suddenly frightened, causing a neigh, and ran out all the way with the damaged carriage.

Soon, it caused bursts of exclamations on the street.

"The control of the bone chain is becoming more and more proficient."

Tang Zheng praised the small evil spirit dog beside him with satisfaction, turned around and entered the courtyard, and the heavy brown gate closed again.

Regarding the trouble caused by this incident later.

Tang Zheng didn't care at all; this world had always been a world where the strong were king.

Just showing the Third Rank "Angel Summoning" was enough to deter a large group of people.

The next day.

Under Yi Mi Na's intentional publicity, the news about Tang Zheng, this mysterious alchemist, developing a new potion to treat disabilities began to spread.

Especially in the Adventurer's Guild and places like "Singing Apple Pavilion" where a large number of worker squads gathered, it caused a stir first.

=9+Shu_Ba

The recently very popular alchemical potions, which were cheap and had good healing effects, were highly sought after by this group of people who walked in dangerous areas.

If it weren't for the fact that these alchemical potions had a short storage time, they would have wanted to hoard a batch.

Such thoughts.

Tang Zheng, as the creator, naturally knew that once any good thing appeared, it would be hoarded in large quantities by those who came into contact with it first.

And the Regeneration Potion diluted by Tang Zheng not only had a weakened healing effect, but the storage time was also shortened to about five to six days.

This would greatly curb those who wanted to hoard in large quantities.

Using the "Preservation" magic could indeed extend the storage time of the potion.

But the problem was that a bottle of alchemical potion was only worth eight copper coins; wasting magic to preserve potions of this level was simply not worth it.

While the news was spreading.

On the other side, Tang Zheng took the small evil spirit dog and rarely left the noble courtyard.

On the bustling road.

Pedestrians on both sides walked with smiles and played on the sidewalk, which was a step higher than the flat central road, while the center was filled with a large number of carriages.

This somewhat modern design made Tang Zheng, who saw it for the first time half a month ago, couldn't help but be stunned.

The more he observed, the more he could truly feel the gap between the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Baharuth Empire.

Tang Zheng took advantage of the bustling crowd and headed toward the central square.

There were three most famous places in the empire: the Imperial Magic Ministry, the Imperial Magic Academy, and the Imperial Arena.

Among these three, the Imperial Magic Ministry was the most mysterious, established by the fifth emperor, and a special area was opened up in the imperial capital, where almost all magic equipment in the empire was produced.

The security force alone was no less than the imperial court, and this area was directly responsible to Fluder.

The Imperial Magic Academy was established during the sixth emperor's period, and the place Tang Zheng was going to now was here.

Outside the Imperial Magic Academy, in a small, exquisite restaurant.

The clear black tea on the table exuded a fragrance; Tang Zheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, quietly waiting for the target to appear.

He didn't wait long.

A girl who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, with short golden hair, a thin build, and wearing a loose, somewhat wrinkled French robe.

Was holding an iron staff taller than herself and walked out of the restaurant cautiously.

First, she looked at the scene inside the restaurant cautiously, and soon found Tang Zheng sitting by the window.

Because Tang Zheng was waving at her.

"Hello, sir, may I ask if you are the one who issued the commission?" The girl with short golden hair walked over, her voice a little weak.

"That's right, please sit down first." Tang Zheng spoke gently, signaling the other party to sit down first.

Arche!

The name of this girl was also the most miserable member of the future worker squad "Foresight."

Tang Zheng found the other party because Arche possessed a natural talent called "All-Seeing Magic Eye," and this talent was the same as Fluder's natural talent.

He needed to use this talent to confirm one thing.
