"Enzo? Have you completed your mandatory mission?" Byron had just finished his meditation and was in good spirits. He seemed a little surprised to see Enzo and asked, "How is it? Is everything going well?"
Enzo smiled bitterly and recounted what happened in Giethoorn.
"What! It actually involves the devil in the abyss?" After hearing this, Byron was obviously surprised and sighed, "I originally wanted to give you a simple investigation task, but I didn't expect that it almost killed you."
Enzo shook his head slightly and chuckled, "It's nothing, it's just an accident."
"By the way, are you here to ask about the patent rights?" Byron suddenly spoke and said in a deep voice, ": After the approval process, the Potion Association has classified [Burning Potion] as a low-level potion, and the patent rights now belong to you.
."
"Thank you, senior!" Enzo was overjoyed.
The potion formulas that are included in the sequence of the Potion Association only require a sufficient number of magic stones as a price, and any potion master can learn them.
The magic stone obtained in this way will be divided into two parts by the Potion Association. Except for keeping a part for itself, the rest will be given to the owner of the potion patent, that is, Enzo.
"The emergence of new potions will interest many potion masters."
Enzo's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself: "Having the patent rights is equivalent to owning a mine. I can continuously obtain magic stones, which is enough to support my growth into an official wizard!"
"Thank you very much, Senior Byron." Enzo looked solemn and saluted while stroking his chest.
"It's nothing, it's just an investment in you." Byron shook his head, then looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "Do you remember that I told you that when your mandatory mission is over, I will take you to meet someone?
?”
Enzo nodded and asked, "I know, who do you want to take me to see?"
"My teacher, Gustave!" Byron took a deep breath and walked out of the courtyard.
"Gustave? The poisonous witch!" Enzo was a little surprised and hurriedly followed him. As he walked forward, he asked, "So, is Senior Byron's teacher actually Mr. Gustave?"
[Phantom of Crows] The official wizard of the Wizarding Academy, Gustave, nicknamed [The Poison Witch]!
When Enzo first entered school, the academy distributed items to newcomers. There was a book that introduced the basic information of [Phantom of Crows], which contained detailed records of this official wizard who belonged to the path of [Conqueror].
"But why does Lord Gustave want to see me?" Enzo was full of doubts on the way to the White Tower.
"I proposed it!" Byron walked forward steadily and said in a deep voice, "I have recommended you to the teacher, and he agreed to accept you as an official disciple."
"Ah!?" Enzo was shocked and his eyes widened.
The master-disciple relationship in the wizarding world symbolizes a kind of inheritance. No official wizard will accept a disciple easily, because once the master-disciple relationship is established, not only does it require personal guidance, but also a large amount of resources will be invested.
In the wizard academy, there are two ways to become a formal wizard disciple.
One is to pay a price that is enough to impress the other party, and the other is to have talents far beyond ordinary people. For example, when she first entered school, the little girl Tina with a four-star talent was accepted as a disciple by Sandra on the spot after the talent test.
.
"Why did the vice president agree to accept me as a disciple?"
Enzo was full of doubts. He was just a newcomer with no foundation and only three stars in talent. He really couldn't figure out why the poisonous witch, who was considered a strong one even among official wizards, would choose him.
After all, the opponent is an official wizard and a conqueror who is good at fighting!
"I will tell you the specific things when we get there." Byron said without looking back, "But the main reason is because of your talent in potions!"
Enzo was moved in his heart and stopped talking.
The two of them walked forward and soon arrived at the edge of the college, at the foot of a remote white tower.
"Come on, let's go in." Byron said and walked forward.
The environment inside the White Tower was a little dark. There were torches burning every few meters on the surrounding walls. The two of them followed the stairs that kept going up and soon reached the top of the White Tower.
Ahead, the door of a laboratory opened, and the pungent smell of potion came from inside.
"Good day, teacher!" Walking into the laboratory, Byron stroked his chest and saluted.
In front of the huge experimental table, a middle-aged man in black robe raised his head.
His face looks ordinary, but his eyes are filled with ancient and profound light, as if he has experienced countless years of precipitation, and just one look can make all darkness disappear.
"You're here, Byron." A smile appeared on the face of the middle-aged man in black robe, and then he looked at Enzo and asked, "Are you the Enzo that Byron mentioned?"
"Yes, Lord Gustave." Enzo nodded quickly.
"Come with me." Gustav nodded slightly and said softly.
After that, he turned and walked towards the back corner. There was an open space with nothing around him. Gustav clapped his hands, and the floor suddenly made a mechanical sound, revealing something similar to a lifting platform.
"Let's go." Byron patted Enzo on the shoulder.
Then, the two of them followed Gustav's footsteps and stepped onto the lifting platform together. Amidst a burst of mechanical sound, the lifting platform began to slowly fall.
Enzo was confused, but didn't ask anything.
After a while, the lift platform stopped.
Gustave walked down first, followed closely by the two of them, stepping on the cold floor tiles. Enzo looked around and found that the three of them seemed to have arrived in a cold underground space.
The air is somewhat humid and the walls are covered with moss.
In a long passage, there are candlesticks embedded in the wall every few meters, with pure white candles burning on them, emitting a soft light.
"Candles made from the fat of ancient white-bearded whales?"
A faint aroma came from the tip of the nose, which made people feel peaceful. Enzo couldn't help but move his eyes, and with the prompt of the chip, he recognized the burning candle on the candlestick on the wall.
The white-bearded ancient whale is a rare giant deep-sea monster.
Candles made from their body fat, even if they are only finger-long, can burn for a hundred years and emit a calming aroma during the burning process.
Shamans use it for meditation, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"As expected of an official wizard, he is indeed rich and powerful." Enzo secretly smacked his tongue.
White whale candles are expensive, costing more than a hundred magic stones each. Only formal wizards will use them for lighting in this cold underground space.
"Let's go." Gustav said softly, and the three of them walked towards the front of the passage.
A terrifying roar could be heard faintly in the long and narrow passage. Gustav walked forward without saying a word, followed closely by Enzo and Byron. After more than ten minutes, they finally arrived at their destination.
