Raymond's condition is very stable, and the possibility of making mistakes is very low.
Aldrich made a rough calculation in his mind. They had a very high chance of winning this game.
The balance of victory is already tilting towards Philip Academy.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened suddenly.
"Well...I have something to say."
Anthony suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
Everyone was surprised when they heard the sudden shout in the banquet hall.
As we all know, a potion master needs an absolutely quiet environment to refine potions.
Especially now in such a tense environment as a competition, any subtle factors may affect the final result of the game.
Making loud noises now is definitely an extremely impolite and bad behavior.
Seeing that Raymond had ignited the hope of victory for Philip Academy, but was interrupted at this juncture, everyone couldn't help but feel a little angry.
But when they saw that the speaker was Dean Anthony of Aum Academy, they all restrained their dissatisfaction.
In everyone's opinion, Dean Anthony himself is a famous potion master, and he is certainly not that ignorant fool.
Perhaps he had a deep meaning in doing this suddenly.
On the other hand,
Raymond on the stage was naturally affected.
He frowned, stopped what he was doing, turned his head and looked at the audience in confusion, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Aldrich on the side was not so polite. He asked: "Anthony, what do you mean? Could it be that when my disciple was about to win, you interrupted him on purpose?"
He didn't know what this old guy was planning.
In Raymond's current state, if he wanted to win against Arthur, it would not be easy, but the possibility was extremely high.
Now that I have been interrupted by this, my status is completely gone, and the negative impact is huge!
"No, no, no...I don't mean any harm."
Anthony's smile filled his old face, full of deep wrinkles.
In order not to lose the game, I don’t want this old face anymore.
He explained to everyone: "As soon as Mr. Raymond made his move, I knew that his potion talent was not inferior to that of my disciple Arthur... He is also an out-and-out potion genius!"
He is worthy of being an old man. When he arrived, he first praised Raymond so highly that Aldrich wanted to find fault but could not find an excuse.
After a pause, he continued: "I think the most basic potions are no longer difficult for them... and I even think that this competition will be decided solely by purity, and there are too many speculation and luck elements.
in."
"What do you mean? Is this your excuse for interrupting?"
Aldrich said displeasedly: "If you think there is luck involved, why not just ask your disciple to refine it again? Maybe the next potion will be even more pure."
This is full of irony.
Everyone knows that when refining magic potion, the state is unpredictable.
Even if Arthur tries it again, he may not be able to achieve a higher purity than this time.
"I do think they should all be refined again!"
Anthony rolled his eyes, picked up the topic slyly, and continued: "However, I suggest that they change the way of competition, and judge the difference based on the level, purity, and technique of the magic... This way the two of them can fully demonstrate their abilities.
He has great talents and can truly achieve the purpose of exchange and learning.”
Aldrich didn't understand what this old guy was planning, and his face twitched.
This is simply a shameless change of the rules on the spur of the moment, looking like we are going to lose.
But what this guy said was so high-sounding that no one could find a suitable reason to refute it.
What's more, now that Raymond has been interrupted, even if he wants to continue refining, he will still lose the opportunity.
He could only be patient and listen quietly.
Anthony took the opportunity to say: "I think the two of them are extremely talented, and the difficulty of the black iron potion is too low... The comparison should be the trial of making the silver potion! This way everyone can see a more exciting show,
A true exchange between genius potion masters!”
As soon as these words came out, it was like the thunder that was the prelude to the storm, and it exploded.
...
"What, compared to trying to refine silver potion? Is it such a big deal?"
"This exchange competition is really exciting. It's not a wasted trip...it's not a wasted trip!"
"But... they are still so young, can they do it? The difficulty of refining silver potion is not at the same level as black iron potion..."
As soon as Anthony said this, the whole venue became noisy.
The "Silver Formula" is a secret that is not passed down among major families. There are very few finished potions in potion shops on weekdays, let alone one who can observe the refining process on the spot.
Today I was lucky enough to see two talented students competing in a competition!
Being able to completely observe the refining of silver potion is a luxury dream for many potion apprentices and even junior potion masters!
Not to mention the special secret techniques that they learned through observation, they were also lucky enough to see the complete formula, materials, weight, proportion, temperature, reaction time, fusion of silver potion...
If you watch the competition carefully, the content of the entire recipe will become clear!
This is definitely a rare lucky event!
As soon as these words came out, everyone was looking forward to the start of this peak showdown, and there was no reason to take it back.
Aldrich knew that Anthony had tricked him.
His face instantly darkened.
...
Although Aldrich felt that Anthony's move was shameless, the general trend was that he could not refuse.
What's more, this is not just about winning or losing the bet, they also represent the honor of Phillips Academy.
Everyone is looking forward to a more exciting competition and the emergence of the silver potion formula.
And if he didn't dare to accept the challenge, wouldn't it mean that his disciple Raymond was inferior to that Arthur?
Is Phillips Academy not as good as Orm Academy?
But even so, Aldrich was still a little hesitant in his heart.
He did teach Raymond the refining technique of silver potion, but after all, his disciple had only mastered it for a short time, so the chance of making the medicine was not high.
The simplest silver potion has more than twenty kinds of ingredients, and the quantity is more than twice that of conventional black iron potions.
Every time the basic medicinal ingredients for potion are doubled, the difficulty of refining the potion increases exponentially.
The black iron formula generally only requires seven or eight kinds of materials, which are tempered and fused step by step. If nothing goes wrong, the probability of Raymond's current medicine is very high.
However, refining the silver formula magic potion requires tempering more than twice the amount of materials, and the difficulty skyrockets.
That requires the magician to have strong control over the entire refining process.
The extraction, fusion, temperature, concentration and reaction time of each material are different. Silver potion also requires multiple operations at the same time, which is a great challenge to the physical strength, energy and concentration of the potion master.
Anthony, this old man, really has a big problem!
Aldrich cursed in his heart.
He hesitated and instinctively moved his eyes to the ring, and happened to meet Raymond's eyes looking over.
Aldrich muttered in his heart: "This kid, Master, I'm so worried, why do you still look like you're not panicking at all..."
But the next moment, when he heard those words, his face showed ecstasy.
When Raymond saw Aldrich's eyes sweeping over him, he roughly guessed what the old man was worried about.
Thinking that the winner had to be decided today, he responded with four words calmly.
"I also can."
"Really?!" Aldrich's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this, and the hesitation and worry on his face were instantly wiped away.
He knew this disciple’s temperament very well.
This guy is called "steady" at best, but likes to "act like a pig" at worst.
The "pig" who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger!
If you really want to say "I can do it" from this guy's mouth, it means "no problem at all"!
Raymond on the ring had no idea that because of his simple words,
Let the old man figure out so many things on his own.
"Okay, our Philip Academy accepts the challenge! Then let's let the two students compete again and use silver potion to decide the winner!"
Aldrich responded readily, and then whispered to Anthony beside him: "Let me say it first... If you do anything wrong this time, I will not be polite to you with your 'Spellweaver Gem'
Accepted."
Anthony looked like he had succeeded in his conspiracy. He patted his chest and said slowly and confidently: "Don't worry, we have known each other for decades and we can still talk to each other."
With that said, he gave instructions to Arthur on the ring.
"Arthur! Aren't you practicing the [Dark Magic] potion recently? Just use that one."
"good."
Although Arthur agreed verbally, he frowned and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
"My mentor actually asked me to use that magic potion formula? Even if this guy named Raymond is better than that Faerun just now, there is no need for [Dark Demon] at all... Could it be that my mentor still thinks I will lose?"
