Chapter 200 Invisible Pretend (for book friends 160104150926872
"You said 'Ghost' is Blind Eriksson's apprentice?"
Others don’t know who Blind Eriksson’s apprentice is, but Aldrich knows!
Because he had to learn swordsmanship from the old blind man, his apprentice often asked him for leave and did not come to learn potions. At first, he complained about this a lot.
After a long while, the old man connected together the series of shocking and almost "ridiculous" news that he had just received in his mind.
The "ghost" is the disciple of Blind Eriksson, and according to him, the old blind man only has one disciple, and that is Raymond, who is also his disciple...
So...his disciple not only killed the second prince Bantu, but was also related to the assassination of the eldest prince?
What has he experienced in the past two years?
Thinking of this, Aldrich felt that as an old man, his bloodline, which had not been stirred for decades, was uncontrollably excited, and his face was faintly flushed.
If Raymond really were a "ghost", it would really be a relief!
He didn't speak, but turned his head and glanced at Raymond, with an obvious questioning look in his eyes.
Raymond smiled bitterly and nodded. This old man was one of the people he trusted most.
"He is really a 'ghost'..."
Seeing his disciple's acquiescence, Aldrich swallowed a mouthful of water involuntarily, as if his face was paralyzed, and he didn't know what expression he should show at this moment.
Could it be that when he assassinated the prince, he wanted to avenge the war led by Philip?
Probably...
At first, he heard that his beloved little Irene also died in the war.
At this time, Boggs also saw that Aldrich had a strange look on his face, and asked with concern: "Aldrich, what's wrong with you? Could it be that you drank fake wine last night? Why is your face so ugly..."
"Oh, I'm fine."
Aldrich took a deep breath, and the flush of excitement on his face slowly faded away.
He knew that his disciple was a "ghost" and he must not let others know, otherwise it might cause big trouble. Now that the entire Royal Capital and the Navy of the World Headquarters are looking for him, as a teacher, he must also be wanted
Protect your disciples.
He immediately changed the topic and asked Raymond: "By the way, I almost forgot what you came here for? Do you know that I am here and came to see me specially?"
Raymond said: "No...I mainly want to see Mr. Boggs this time."
Since his teacher is here, the visit should not be a problem at all, and there is no need to use the knife. He paused, and then simply stated his other purpose: "Also,
I also want to come to this genius potion masters conference."
Potion masters who are stronger than the top three will be canonized in the palace. This is currently the safest way that Raymond can think of to sneak into the palace.
Aldrich already knew that his disciple was the "Ghost", so the purpose of coming to him to attend the conference was not that simple. There were outsiders here, so he couldn't directly ask Raymond about his true purpose.
Probably...it's also related to revenge.
However, when he thought about it, since it was his disciple who was going to participate in the "Genius Potion Masters Conference", he, as a teacher, should also do his best. Anyway, he was alone now, and even if he was implicated, death would not matter.
Aldrich asked: "Do you want us to introduce you to the 'Genius Potion Master Exchange Conference'?"
Raymond did mean this too: "Yeah."
In this genius potion master exchange conference, those who are truly qualified to compete for the top three are actually the major potion families in the Black Sea. Moreover, you need to register your identity information to participate, just like the political review in the previous life, you must have a clear path of inheritance. If there is no recommender
, even if he wins the championship in the end, he cannot avoid the investigation of the Military Intelligence Department.
He came to Boggs. In addition to wanting to get the "Spellweaver Gem" as a follow-up item for the mission, he also wanted to see if he could be his introducer.
Now it seems that since my teacher is here, this matter is no longer a problem.
Aldridge looked at Raymond and asked casually: "How sure are you that you can win the championship?"
"Pfft~"
Next to him, Boggs was drinking coffee. When he heard this, he almost choked. There are countless potion geniuses in the vast Black Sea. Anyone who can be ranked in the top ten is an extremely talented person.
You ask this disciple how sure he is of winning the championship?
Could it be more exaggerated?
The reality did not disappoint him, and even more surprises were yet to come!
A bad old man dares to ask, a mentally retarded apprentice dares to tell.
At this time,
"Um..."
He looked at Raymond frowning and thought for a while, then said seriously: "About... I'm 80 to 90 percent sure."
"Nani?" Boggs thought he heard wrongly. Could it be that Aldridge just asked him not how sure he was of winning the championship, but whether he was sure of being in the finals?
"Is it 80% or 90% sure that he can win the championship? Damn it, this kid probably doesn't know what the 'Black Sea Genius Potion Masters Conference' means! This kind of grand gathering of potion masters covering the entire Black Sea and those small competitions in the territory are completely different.
It’s two different things. What’s more, Daniel, the direct disciple of Potion Guild President Vos Dell, has now reached the level of a three-star potion master. You, a young boy, tell me that you are 80 to 90 percent sure of winning the championship?”
Boggs' face became very ugly, as if he had heard a fantasy, and contempt immediately appeared in his eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that the young man in front of him was his junior brother's disciple, he would really want to drive this arrogant guy out of his home!
Talking nonsense, young and ignorant!
Is it possible that Aldrich is an old fool? He actually accepted such a bragging disciple?
But what Boggs didn't expect was that something even more bizarre was yet to come.
My junior brother actually believed his disciple’s lies!
Is it possible that this old guy is still drunk?
"Oh? Eighty-nine percent..."
Aldrich raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and a joyful expression appeared on his face. He had no doubt at all!
"Then don't worry... When those guys finish the preliminary round in ten days, just ask my senior brother to introduce you. He is the referee of this competition. He will give you a special right to participate, and you can directly participate in the finals."
Having said this, the old man turned to look at Boggs, confirmed, and said, "Really, senior brother? I remember you have this privilege."
"Aldrich, I do have this right. But..."
Boggs' face twitched when he heard this, probably thinking that his junior brother drank too much last night and was still not sober.
He thought, this guy doesn't want to cheat on his disciple, right?
But... even if he cheats, he can only get a certificate of honor from the conference at most. Without real materials, how can he give you the championship in front of everyone? The other judges are not blind!
After thinking about it, he decided to ask first, what if he was really a potion genius?
"Um...Raymond, right? How many stars are you a potion master now?"
"How many stars?"
Raymond rubbed the back of his head. He had never been certified. There was no star rating at all.
He said truthfully: "Mr. Boggs, I only have one Potion Master Apprentice Certification now... Well, is there a Potion Master star threshold for participating in the conference?"
"you..."
Hearing this, Boggs seemed to be choked and was so angry that he didn't know how to answer.
You're just a potions apprentice, but if you have a side dish, you won't be so drunk that you can brag like this, right?
There is no threshold...
The "Black Sea Genius Potion Masters Conference" is held every ten years. In theory, all potion masters under the age of twenty-five are eligible to participate in this conference. But in this "genius" conference, even two-star potion masters may not be able to enter the finals. Why are you, a potions apprentice, joining in the fun!
Just now, he actually said that he was 80% or 90% sure of winning the championship?
I think you are crazy!
"Oh, Brother Boggs! Don't underestimate my disciple just because he doesn't have a certified star rating..."
Aldrich chuckled on the side.
How could he not understand the character of his apprentice?
Steady, low-key, never utters arrogance, and likes to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
Since he said he was 80% or 90% sure, it can almost be understood that he is bound to win this championship!
Aldrich knew that Boggs underestimated his apprentice, so he directly asked Raymond: "Raymon, do you have a high success rate in refining Sequence 7 potions now?"
When he thought about it, since Raymond said he was sure to win the championship, he must be aware of the strength of his opponent. Naturally, he should also have heard that Daniel, the direct disciple of Voss Dell, the president of the Potions Guild, is a three-star potion master. That guy is a three-star potion master this time. The most popular candidate to win the conference.
If he can defeat Daniel with confidence, then he must be able to refine the Sequence 7 potion.
Obviously, this old man was overthinking it. Raymond had never heard of President Voss's genius disciple.
"ah?"
He was still a little confused. He hadn't seen this old man for two years. How could he guess that he could refine Sequence 7 potions when they met?
But doubts are doubts,
Faced with his teacher's question, Raymond still answered truthfully: "Well... for the Sequence 7 black iron potion, the success rate is more than 90%. For the silver-level potion, it's a little less, only about 40 to 50%. Look."
Moreover, this is the success rate of his body, not the puppet!
If it is a puppet, the success rate of Sequence 7 potions is extremely high, with almost no failure rate!
He is confident that he has an 80% to 90% chance of winning the championship, because in the past two years, he has reached the full level of all "junior potion master" related skills! All kinds of junior potion master techniques, techniques, and secret techniques are at his fingertips. As long as he has used The skills he has learned are all at full level now!
It can be said that in terms of proficiency in alchemy skills alone, among junior potion masters, Raymond is said to be second, and no one dares to admit that he is first. Not to mention this small black sea, even the endless sea cannot be stronger than him. of!
"The success rate of Sequence 7 ordinary potions is more than 90%, and the silver has reached the fourth or fifth level?!"
When Boggs heard this, the first thought that flashed through his mind was that absolute death is impossible!
Because even though he has been successfully promoted to a four-star potion master for many years now, refining sequence 7 potions still cannot achieve this exaggerated success rate!
Is this disciple of Aldrich too unreliable?
The difficulty of Sequence 7 potions is already very high. Even a five-star potion master cannot guarantee that he can refine it successfully every time. This kid said there is a 90% chance. Could it be that he thinks he is already an intermediate potion master?
Haha, an intermediate potion master under twenty years old?
What a nonsense!
Boggs' family is one of the oldest potion master families in the Black Sea. Even the most talented of his ancestors cannot reach the level of an intermediate potion master at this age.
Hearing those words, Aldrich frowned slightly and asked, "Can you be an intermediate potion master now?"
"not yet."
Raymond said: "Since I separated from the teacher two years ago, I haven't learned any intermediate potion skills, and my mental strength is still far behind... Since the teacher is here, I have many questions to ask."
"Oh? Then you are still at the level of a junior potion master?"
Aldrich obviously couldn't believe it when he heard the data revealed by Raymond just now.
Generally speaking, it is absolutely impossible for a junior potion master to achieve such a terrifying potion success rate, and even for ordinary intermediate potions, it is impossible.
(Note: 1-3 stars for beginners, 4-6 stars for intermediate, 7-9 stars for advanced)
Although he knew that his disciple never told lies, and even often acted modestly and pretentiously when speaking.
But it had only been two years since he saw him, and he couldn't believe that his disciple could reach that level.
After thinking about it, Aldrich did not rush to a conclusion. He said: "It just so happens that my senior brother has a well-equipped laboratory here. Can you show me your skills? Let me see what level your magic potion refining level has reached now?"
"
Haha, just right!
Upon hearing this, Boggs snorted coldly.
You have already boasted about everything in Haikou, now you are about to act on it, right? No matter how powerful you are, the subject of Potions must be judged by your true ability!
Now whether it is true or not, I will do it in the laboratory and everything will be clear!
How good this kid is at potion science? As a four-star potion master, I can tell at a glance.
Boggs thought of this and shook his head slightly. In his opinion, the young man in front of him would definitely find various excuses to avoid going to the laboratory.
Because once it is actually operated, the true colors must be revealed.
But before the scornful smile appeared on his lips, he suddenly saw the young man opposite him calmly getting up.
Raymond said calmly: "Oh, teacher, please help me and trouble Mr. Boggs."
His words were calm and calm, not impatient or impatient, and there was no hint of panic at all, as if everything was well planned out.
"good very good!"
Aldrich was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became brighter and brighter.
At this moment, even without going to the laboratory, he completely believed that what his disciple just said was true!
What happened to him in the past two years that caused him to undergo such a transformation?
Neither humble nor arrogant, neither hasty nor slow, the climate has become...
This was the kind of calm aura he had only seen in his teacher back then. This was the unique talent of a top potion master!
The old man looked at Raymond, his body trembling slightly with excitement.
He had a premonition that he was about to witness the birth of a real monster.
...
How can it be?
He actually agreed?
"Is what this young man just said true? It's impossible... there must be some misunderstanding..."
With countless impossibilities floating in his mind, Boggs led Master Raymond and his apprentice into the laboratory in a daze.
