The headquarters of the Tianlan Potion Masters Guild has a huge castle-like building complex on the Third Ring Road of the King's Capital. This is where the potion masters like to gather.
Here, as long as you have enough money, there is no shortage of potion resources.
Potion masters can find almost all potion formulas in the entire Black Sea except those golden formulas collected by big families, from Sequence 9 to Sequence 5, various ranks, warriors, demons, priests, assassins, black iron, and silver.
All kinds of quality are available.
This castle is also the largest distribution center for potion materials in the entire Black Sea. Potion masters can get the most complete supply of materials. Even for rare materials, they can post bounties on the internal system of the Potion Guild, and naturally mercenaries will pick them up.
Take the search task and you will find it soon.
The Potion Masters Guild also has two remaining five-star potion masters in the Black Sea, the president of the Black Sea Potion Masters Guild, Vos Dell, and the vice president Sid Sofer.
...
"I remember that the player who got the 'Spellweaver Gem' in the game seemed to have triggered the mission here..."
Raymond is very familiar with the castle, the headquarters of the Potions Masters Guild.
This is the largest place in Tianlan King's capital where tasks are intensively posted. A large number of materials-finding tasks are posted here every day, which makes him familiar with almost every house number in this castle.
"It should be right here, No. 56 Oak Street. Legend has it that the Knox family, the oldest potion master family in Tianlan..."
Since he stopped by the headquarters of the Potion Masters Guild, Raymond was also ready to complete the hidden mission of the "Spellweaver Gem". After all, this is related to the holy book in the hearts of all potion masters, the ten-star master of potion Ige.
Rhys Sentia's handwritten version of The Secret Book of Potions Knowledge.
When he got the gems before, he was afraid that he would forget the complicated details of the mission and might miss the treasure. But now...he didn't think much about it and was ready to come to negotiate.
The complicated and extremely complex tasks in the game, but in Raymond's eyes now... Haha, that is, try not to draw a knife or do it, let's be reasonable...
Strength gave him the courage to speak.
Only now is he slowly realizing why the pirates of Jinya always like to use rough methods to solve problems. Because he has to admit that for most problems, "rough" methods are the most efficient way to solve them.
He doesn't have that much time to talk to people about fancy things.
...
As soon as Raymond walked to the door and was about to knock on the door, his cochlea suddenly moved.
Apparently someone was arguing inside,
The voices sounded like two half-old men.
"Aldrich, why are you bothering? Now the royal family has received clear news. If you don't follow their arrangements, the Potion Masters Guild will expel you from the union... At that time, the Tianlan Royal Family will tell you
Ling, who in the entire Black Sea dares to protect you? After you have left the Potion Masters Guild, your status as a war slave has not been washed away, and you will be in great danger!"
"Brother, you don't need to say anything. I will never refine a magic potion for the Salo royal family!"
"You can't bear to let your potion skills go to waste like this? I know that you have broken through to become a five-star potion master... Do you know that if you announce this news to the outside world, you will immediately become the vice president of the potion master's union.
..”
"Haha, the current trade union has completely changed! Not only has President Voss become a groveling servant of the royal family, but the entire Potion Masters Guild has become a profit-making machine for businessmen. Hmph... The Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce relies on the Potion Masters Guild.
You don’t know about monopolizing the Black Sea potion market, do you?”
"It's natural for businessmen to make profits... What impact does this have on us potion masters? Shouldn't we still be refining medicines and experimenting when we need to do experiments?"
"The words taught by the teacher back then are like a beacon in the dark night, and they still remind me of the guide day and night in my heart! The teacher once said that the duty of the potion master is to make the human beings who are struggling to survive in this sea become stronger and have more success.
Survive and multiply with powerful abilities! Their monopoly has driven up the price of potions, making it impossible for most civilians to afford extraordinary advanced potions... This profit-seeking approach has gone against the original intention of the teacher! That group of people has also lost
The pride and meaning of the sacred profession of being a potion master!"
"Aldrich, why don't I know my father's teachings? But do you think it can change anything just because you and I think so?"
"I can't change anything! But what I can do is never go along with them!"
"..."
...
"The teacher is not dead!"
Raymond listened for a while, and his face became more and more surprised. When he heard the name "Aldrich", how could he not guess who the person arguing inside was?
This old man is his first potion teacher and the dean of the Potions School of Philip Academy!
After watching the blind old man die in front of his eyes two years ago, Raymond realized his regret. How lucky he was to meet so many selfless people in this world.
Aldrich, the old man, was one of the few people who truly treated him selflessly and treated him like a son.
Listening to that familiar loud voice, at this moment, Raymond felt his eyes were a little moist.
...
"Aldrich, where are you going?"
"drink wine!"
"What are you drinking in broad daylight?!"
"..."
The quarrel in the house was coming to an end.
Raymond was just about to knock on the door, when the hot-tempered old man in the room opened the door, and the two almost bumped into each other.
"Oh! Sorry, young man, I almost bumped into you."
Aldrich was about to go out angrily. He didn't even see who was in front of him, and he didn't intend to take another look. He turned towards the house and shouted: "Boggs, someone is looking for you!"
Raymond looked at Aldrich, who was obviously much older, and shouted with excitement in his voice: "Teacher."
"Um?"
As soon as Aldrich got out of the door, a strange look appeared on his face. Could this "teacher" be the old guy named Boggs? That's not right... Doesn't Boggs only have one female disciple? Why does this young man sound so young?
Do people call themselves?
He raised his eyes and glanced, and a slightly familiar face came into view.
The first impression is not bad.
He looks quite handsome, but unfortunately he is blind in one eye and has some corrosion and burn scars on his face. His temperament is quite calm, he must be young, but he looks like he has gone through a lot of hardships. Hmm... It seems
He is somewhat like his former disciple named Raymond.
If my disciple hadn't died, he would probably be this high.
Aldrich only looked away for a moment, sighed in his heart, buried his head and prepared to leave.
Raymond looked at the old man and didn't recognize him. He called out again, "Teacher, long time no see."
"Um?"
Aldrich was stunned. This time he was sure that the young man was calling him.
He suddenly seemed to realize something, and when he looked back carefully, shock appeared in his turbid eyes.
He pointed at Raymond tremblingly, "You...you are..."
Raymond smiled and nodded, "I am Raymond, teacher."
"Are you really Raymond?"
Aldrich's expression froze for a moment due to shock, then relaxed and immediately turned into ecstasy. He held Raymond's arm with both hands, looked at it carefully again, and said excitedly: "Are you still alive?!"
"Well, teacher, I'm still alive."
Raymond looked at the tearful old man and was also extremely excited.
The two masters and apprentices looked like old friends they had not seen for many years, and they hugged each other excitedly at the door of the Knox family's ancestral home.
At this moment,
An old man with a red beard came out of the room. He was the "senior brother" who had just argued with Aldrich, the current head of the Knox family, the oldest potion family in the Black Sea, a four-star potion master, Boggs...
Knox.
He had just listened to Aldrich yelling and thought he had a friend coming to the door, but when he came out, he actually saw the old man hugging a young man.
"He still has some acquaintances? Could it be an old friend whom Philip brought in before?"
Boggs looked suspicious.
In the past two years, he has never seen his junior brother so excited. Since he was captured in the last war, his junior brother has been like a puddle of dead ashes, drinking all day long to drown his sorrows, looking like he is out of his mind. If it weren't for him
, this old guy may not even have the desire to live. But now... this old man suddenly seems to be ten years younger, and he is so excited that he bursts into tears?
Who is this young man? What makes this guy so excited?
Could it be his son?
No, didn't his son die in the war?
At this moment, without waiting for Boggs to make random guesses, Aldrich excitedly introduced: "Brother Boggs, this is my close disciple, Raymond!"
Boggs was a little confused, "Your disciple?"
This guy was so excited when his son died. Now a disciple has come and he needs to be like this? Isn't he an illegitimate child?
After saying that,
Aldrich turned to Raymond and introduced: "Raymond, this is Boggs, my senior brother, and his father, Master Knox, is my teacher. Knox is also the oldest potion master in the Black Sea.
Carry on the family legacy!”
"Hello, Mr. Boggs."
Of course Raymond knew the details of Boggs. But he never expected that by such a coincidence, Aldrich was once a potion apprentice of the Knox family.
Boggs looked a little weird. Their faces didn't look like father and son. "Since we are Aldrich's disciples and not outsiders, let's go inside and sit down."
...
"Teacher, have you been at Mr. Boggs's house these past two years?"
"Well. If it hadn't been for the protection of my senior brother in the past two years, a stubborn old man like me would have been killed by people from the Tianlan royal family."
"Where are Master's wife and the others?"
"They were all killed in the war..."
"..."
Boggs listened to Master and Disciple Raymond for a long time, his face a little strange. At first, he felt that the young man named Raymond in front of him was a bit arrogant, and he didn't speak in a big or small way. He actually called his junior brother "Old Man"
"I thought it was an illegitimate child, but then I saw that Aldrich didn't act like a teacher at all when he was his apprentice. They were holding hands, and the two of them seemed to have been friends for many years, talking about old times together.
This behavior, which is as close as an old friend, makes people feel that their relationship cannot be seen through.
To say they are disciples is too affectionate; to say they are illegitimate children is too greasy a relationship.
While chatting, Boggs actually heard that Aldrich, an old and dishonest guy, actually wanted to take his apprentice to a romantic place!
After hearing the following words, he was sure that the young man in front of him was definitely not his junior brother's illegitimate son.
Aldrich said with great interest: "Let's go, master and apprentice, have a drink! I'll tell you that there is a 'Guns and Roses Tavern' in the capital of the king. The wine is very good. The teacher will take you to see it!"
"..."
When Raymond heard this, he didn't know how to answer.
He just went to this pub last night and caused a scene, and he's still going now?
Moreover, as a teacher, wouldn’t your conscience hurt if you take your disciples to that kind of place?
At this time, Boggs finally couldn't bear it any longer, fearing that the coquettish old man would come up with some bad ideas again.
He quickly said: "Aldrich, don't think about it! The Guns and Roses Tavern has closed!"
"Ah? It's closed?"
Aldrich looked confused and said: "Isn't that tavern the property of the great prince? Who can have the ability to close it?"
"Didn't you read today's newspaper?"
Boggs shook his head and sighed: "The assassin 'Ghost' made a scene at the Guns and Roses last night, and the eldest prince was assassinated!"
"What? The eldest prince was also killed? Was it the 'ghost' who did it again?"
Aldrich suddenly felt his head was a little confused and rubbed his temples, "I probably drank too much last night, and my head is still a little dizzy now."
"Although the eldest prince was not killed directly by 'Ghost', he must have something to do with him. See for yourself..."
Boggs took out the newspaper from the cabinet, put it on the table, and said: "Today, the Navy's latest reward order has been posted. The reward for 'Ghost' has reached 30 million quarks. His identity has also been revealed by military intelligence.
The people here investigated and found out that he was the apprentice of Sodros's eldest disciple, 'Blind' Eriksson, and the weapon was the famous weapon [Sakura]..."
"My bounty amount has reached 30 million?" Raymond looked at the bounty portrait with his demonic state printed on the newspaper, and didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
In the game, if any player can have such an exaggerated bounty amount in the Black Sea, their tails should be raised to the sky. This is proof of strength. But in the real world, the higher the bounty amount, which means that the world's headquarters navy
The more people pay attention to it, the more bounty hunters are ready to take action...
"What?! You said 'Ghost' is Blind Eriksson's apprentice?"
When Aldrich heard this, he felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured on him, and he woke up immediately from his drowsiness.
A flash of shock appeared on his face for a moment, and he slowly turned his gaze to Raymond beside him.
