‘A third-level apprentice who has no hope of being promoted to a formal wizard in this life and leaves the academy.’ Enzo thought to himself.
"Senior Sara has been on the wizarding journey for decades. When she was studying at Phantom Crows, she specialized in potion knowledge." Isaac introduced, "She has been working in Thunder City since she left the academy ten years ago.
Settled down and joined the Kendi family as a potion master. While providing potions to the family, he also cultivated many talents in potions."
"If you need a lab assistant, maybe you can ask for her help!"
Enzo's heart moved. It turned out that the old witch in front of him was a potion master. No wonder the stall in front of her was filled with various bottles and cans, as well as some potion-related items.
"You are looking for an experimental assistant. Is he also a potion master?"
Hearing Isaac's words, Sara's cloudy eyes flashed, and a trace of interest arose in her heart. She looked at Enzo carefully and said with a strange smile: "A young guy also wants to shine on this road."
?"
"It's just some occasional research." Enzo smiled modestly.
"Senior Sara, don't underestimate Enzo, he is a real potion genius!" Isaac chuckled on the side: "When he was in the academy, Enzo developed a new type of potion and
Obtained patent rights from the Potions Association."
"What? You developed a new type of magic potion!?" Sara raised her head suddenly, her eyes shining with disbelief.
For a potion master, developing a new type of potion may often be a lifelong pursuit.
Because once successful, it not only represents great glory, but also means unlimited benefits. Even the most basic secondary magic potion can obtain enough resources for an apprentice to be promoted to a formal wizard.
No wonder Sarah looked so surprised.
"It's just good luck." Enzo touched the tip of his nose and said, "When I was studying at the college, I served as Senior Byron's experimental assistant. I happened to solve a problem, and thus obtained the patent for a new medicine."
"Are you Senior Byron's assistant?" Sarah was surprised again.
As an apprentice who joined the Phantom Crows decades ago and specialized in potions, the name Byron is definitely familiar. He was a true potions genius and a dazzling figure in Sarah's era.
.
Hearing that familiar name, Sarah's eyes glowed with a glimmer of memory.
"It turns out that he is someone recognized by Byron. No wonder he can develop a new type of magic potion." She murmured to herself, her eyes flashing with luster. After a while, she turned her gaze to Enzo and said in a deep voice: "In this case,
Why did you come to see me?"
"I need an experimental assistant who has knowledge of potions." Enzo said.
As the potion consultant of the Kendi family, Sarah has settled in Thunder City for ten years and has been studying potions for a long time. She must have trained some students around her as potion assistants to cooperate with experiments.
Enzo plans to pay a certain price to hire an assistant from Sara.
"Do you want me to recommend a potion assistant to you?" After Sara understood Enzo's purpose, she couldn't help but frown, sighed, shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid you're late."
"You're late, what do you mean?" Isaac asked in confusion.
"In the years since I became the Kendi family's potions consultant, I have devoted myself to studying potions, and I have indeed trained some students around me." Sarah sighed with a trace of sadness in her eyes: "However, just a month ago, my laboratory
A serious accident occurred, resulting in the death of all the students around him."
"Experimental accident?" Enzo's pupils shrank.
"Yes, a serious mistake." Sarah said with an ugly face and lingering fear: "I carefully prepared the project for three years, but it ended in failure. The energy leakage caused by the failure of the experiment killed everyone present except me.
Everybody!"
No experiment can be absolutely safe, and the same goes for potion research and development.
A slight deviation in the data may lead to an energy explosion. Not a few potion masters die every year due to failed experiments. In some large-scale research projects, even official wizards may die as a result.
What's more, most of the student assistants trained by Sara are not even first-level apprentices.
"Since that experiment failed, I almost lost everything." Sara recalled with an ugly face. "Not only did I lose the assistants I trained over the years, but even the laboratory was leveled by the explosion."
"You know, there is my hard work accumulated over the years!"
"As a last resort, I had no choice but to borrow money from the Kendi family and rent a laboratory to refine a batch of magic potion. I plan to sell it to the wizards' gathering in exchange for some magic stones."
"So that's it." After hearing Sara's words, Enzo sighed in his heart.
For a potion master, experiment failure is inevitable, but serious accidents like Sarah's are rare. An energy explosion leads to the loss of everything, and the only way to earn magic potion is through refining it.
The stone cycle has turned around.
"It seems that the problem of the potion assistant will be difficult to solve today." On the side, Isaac shrugged helplessly.
"It doesn't matter." Enzo shook his head.
He did not expect to find an assistant so smoothly. After all, it is very rare for a potion master to find a suitable assistant. It was because of his encounter with Enzo that Byron restarted the [Burning Potion] experimental project.
"It's a pity that I can't provide you with an experimental assistant." Sara also spread her palms and said softly, "However, if you want to exchange knowledge about potions, I'm still very welcome."
"It's an honor." Enzo smiled.
Then, he glanced at the stall in front of Sarah. Although he did not find a suitable experimental assistant, he was able to meet a potion master in Thunder City and exchange some experiences with each other. It was considered a worthwhile trip.
However, Enzo scanned the stalls and found nothing of interest.
"Sure enough, you can't have too high expectations." Enzo shook his head in his mind.
After all, Sara is just a potion master who has been away from the academy for ten years. Most of the potion formulas she masters are inferior potions from the bad street, and the finished products are also extremely mediocre. They are no match for the potions prepared by Enzo himself.
compared to.
Randomly looking at the items on the ground, Enzo's eyes suddenly stopped on a piece of broken leather paper.
"What is this?" He picked up the broken piece of leather, his face changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "Human skin!?"
"Good eyesight!" A smile appeared on Sara's wrinkled face, and she said strangely, "This is a good thing. I found it in an ancient ruins. I almost paid the price of my life to get it."
"Unfortunately, I failed to realize its value in the end."
After saying that, Sara's expression was a little complicated.
