Chapter 278 Obtaining Promotion Potion

Chapter 278 Obtaining the Promotion Potion

 Lock followed Harlan Vera's previous instructions and came to the edge of the academy's port city, an alchemy hut with a crucible on the roof. The crucible on the top of the alchemy hut is still steaming.

 The hot steam evaporates to the upper end of the alchemy hut, forming rain clouds, and then turns into rain and falls again, returning to the crucible.

 In this way, the potion liquid inside the crucible on the roof will maintain a certain amount for a long time.

 Loke stood in front of the alchemy hut, sniffed lightly, and immediately raised his brows. "It seems to be some kind of potion that temporarily enhances mana."

 "It should not be one potion, but a mixture of more than a dozen potion types."

"And the level is not low. Mixing potions is the domain of the official potion master. But the number is too exaggerated. Is it a decoration made by using potion evaporation skills and combined with alchemy equipment? It seems to be more than just a decoration."

He looked up at the crucible the size of a swimming pool in the alchemy house, which was actually filled with some kind of special potion.

Locke suspected that if a battle broke out nearby, the potion in the cauldron decoration would have some effect in some form.

  In the alchemy hut, a slightly older voice came out. "Please come in."

  "This student, what do you want?"

The door of the alchemy cabin opened, and an old witch wearing a white wizard robe who looked a little old came out. Behind her were some crucibles on iron shelves, and various magic flames were burning underneath those crucibles.

 Locke saluted the witch, who was one of the seven senior advisors of Lilith Cabin [Claudia Forbes]. She was one of the most powerful potion masters in Lilith Cabin, and her representative work was [Pure Blood Potion].

 The main direction of her research in the field of potions is to study how potions can unlock special talents in the human body.

 This field of potions is almost the most difficult to produce results in the field of potions, so few people will study it.

As long as you learn this direction, it almost means that you will not be able to publish any high-quality articles or achieve any results for a long time.

  You need to study day and night, or you will waste your life, or you will suddenly come up with a big one.

 Other than really smart potions masters, generally no one would choose to study this direction, and there are definitely not a few geniuses who have been delayed because of this.

  Locke saluted the witch Claudia and explained his purpose. "Lord Forbes, I am Locke Augustine, a student of wizard Harlan Vera. I am here to receive the promotion potion."

 "My mental power has reached 800."

 "According to the regulations of the academy, I came here specifically to apply for the promotion potion."

 Old Witch Forbes looked at Locke in surprise, with a cunning look in her eyes. "Locke Augustine, I have an impression of you."

  "Your gallbladder potion is very interesting."

  "I remember that you were not promoted to the first-class wizard apprentice in less than two years? I remember correctly, right? Are you going to apply for promotion potion so soon?"

The old witch Forbes looked Locke up and down, and then clicked The head said: "Yes, your mana has almost reached that threshold, and even slightly exceeded it."

She was slightly surprised and said: "There are very few students who can reach this point in such a short period of time. The last one was Witch Sophia."

"Oh, that's your teacher."

Claudia Forbes invited Locke in, "Come in then. Has your teacher told you the rules?"

Locke said to the old witch Forbes: "Yes, Teacher Harlan told me a lot of taboo things, and I have to sign a highest-level association confidentiality contract. I can get a bottle of promotion potion for free. "

 "As a deal, I need to sign an agreement with the college that if I become an official wizard, I will give priority to this college. If I don't choose to stay in school, I have to make corresponding rewards to this college."

 This is also relatively reasonable.

  After all, I can get so many resources through the platform of Lilith House. If I choose to leave in the end, then Lilith House is not a charitable organization and I will definitely need to make some kind of compensation.

Of course, the price of Lilith’s Cabin is basically relatively reasonable.

  The reason why Witch Sophia needed to kill an official wizard before she could leave was just because she wanted to shorten the time she left.

 Otherwise, an ordinary formal wizard who has worked for the academy for thirty to fifty years will almost be able to get the right to leave.

  The lifespan of an official wizard is extremely long, so this does not matter.

 Essentially, the academy will not take the initiative to break up with the official wizards it has trained. The two sides are still in a relationship of mutual achievement.

  After an official wizard leaves the academy, his achievements can still be indirectly increased. The glory of the wizard organization he comes from can gain the right to recruit more outstanding students.

Claudia Forbes smiled strangely, looked at Locke and said, "Then sign these two contracts."

"After signing these two contracts, I will give you the promotion potion."

"Locke, sit down."

Locke sat down at a table, and after reading the two contracts, he signed the agreement.

 Old Witch Forbes saw that he had signed the agreement, then turned around and walked towards the depths of the room. There was a mess of potions on the ground. She looked for them. She grabbed a few bottles of potions, looked at them, and then turned around. Taking the [Sacrificial Potion] in his hand, he handed it to Locke,

  Old Witch Forbes said, "Here it is, young genius."

 "This is the sacrificial potion that should be given to you."

Locke pursed his lips. He turned to look at the old witch Forbes. He saw the pile of rubbish behind him and recognized that the sacrificial potion looked like rubbish. It was thrown carelessly on the ground and piled up into a mountain.

 After Locke took the sacrificial potion, he couldn't help but said: "Lord Forbes, I thought... I thought this potion was very precious."

 "After all, the level of confidentiality is so high."

 Forbes, the old witch He blinked and said in surprise: "How is it possible? The sacrificial potion is the simplest level of potion. The difficulty of refining it is very low. At your current level, as long as I teach you patiently for a few years, you might be able to refine it yourself."

  "You don't even need to be an official wizard."

 Locke said in surprise: "Isn't the quantity of the sacrificial potion quite large?"

 The old witch Forbes' eyes darkened. "It's quite a lot, but what's really missing is not it, but the talent of the wizards. This kind of magic potion is very terrifying. The circulation of the formula must be restricted, the people who can refine it are restricted, and the sales channels are restricted." The materials are too common. The effects after taking it are too fixed, and the side effects are too clear. "

   "And if the association does not restrict it, it will directly destroy a wizard."

   Old Witch Forbes is a little proud. "Thank you to the association for trusting me, so I was chosen as the [Sacrificial Potion Configurator] with relatively few people in the southeast corner."

 She pointed proudly to the special badge on her chest that symbolized the "Sacrificial Potion Configurator". "This part of the memory is protected by the second-ring magic [Psychic Secrecy Spell] of the Association's Psychic School."

  "Therefore, no one can steal the formula of this potion from my mind; or take it away; or spy on it; or control me. , let me take the initiative to tell him the formula in various ways; either by occupying my body and reading my sea of consciousness to get the formula; or by tricking me, let me tell him the formula unintentionally. "

Locke nodded in admiration. "That's really thoughtful, Lord Forbes."

 Just hearing what the old witch Forbes said, Locke felt that this defense was really tight.

 I couldn’t think of any other way to forcefully obtain the formula from her.

  Old Witch Forbes herself could not tell anyone the recipe.

 Furthermore, it seems that the finished product of this sacrificial potion must have taken high-level confidentiality measures at the formula level. Potion masters cannot reversely deduce its formula through the finished product.

· Forbes, the old witch said: "Okay, now I'm going to tell you the true effect of the sacrificial potion. This damn cursed effect has harmed so many wizard geniuses."

· "How many people have lost all their futures because of it."
