Zhou Qingfeng waved to Lorraine, and the short-haired girl stepped forward. She changed into women's clothing, but her skinny figure could not hold up the clothes, and her face was not beautiful. She was used to dressing up in men's clothing, and she felt awkward everywhere.
Behind Lorraine were dozens of children of different ages, both men and women, filling the main hall. Jason slowly walked out a few steps and said in a deep voice: "These children are the refugees that a few of my friends and I lived outside the city.
Picked at random.
We didn't think much about qualifications, we basically selected them randomly. Their physical condition was not very good, and they basically had various diseases. Except for a few seriously ill people who were treated with holy water, the others just changed their clothes and filled their stomachs.
."
Jason stepped back.
Zhou Qingfeng said to Lorraine with the child: "Eve Lorraine, do you want to become a wizard?"
Lorraine opened her eyes wide and stayed where she was, not knowing what to say. She only thought that she was following her master to take care of the children, and never thought about the issue of 'wizard'. Her only dream was to have enough food, clothing and a comfortable home.
, everything else is beyond imagination.
People at the venue finally became interested and paid attention.
"Drink it." Zhou Qingfeng took a medicine bottle from the table.
Lorraine was stunned and asked in a low voice: "Master, what is this?"
"Fox's Cunning, a potion that temporarily enhances intelligence." Zhou Qingfeng turned around and said to other people in the venue: "Every wizard will feel that his brain is not enough..."
"I don't know how." Someone suddenly interrupted and walked out of the crowd, his eyes cold and slightly mocking. He stared at Zhou Qingfeng holding the potion, as if he were looking at a circus monkey. "High-purity potions are nothing.
A rare item."
"Who is this idiot?" Zhou Qingfeng turned around and asked Jason without showing any signs of weakness.
"From the Lehman family in the city." Jason replied expressionlessly: "Victor, don't expect everyone here to like you. Go ahead, as long as your potion is good enough, he will regret his rashness."
"That's right." Zhou Qingfeng remembered that sarcastic face and handed the potion to Lorraine again, "Drink it, you will feel what is called mind explosion."
Lorraine took the potion bottle and poured it into her mouth. In the next few minutes, she seemed to have no reaction. The wizards at the scene stared at her silently and did not speak. But as time passed, the situation began to change.
Lorraine felt that her hearing had become sharper, and she could hear some whispers. But if she listened carefully, the entire venue was silent. She was still puzzled, and her thinking suddenly began to speed up, and the memories in her mind kept flashing through her mind like a scroll.
Happiness, sadness, anger, fear, fragments of life reappeared, and every detail was vividly visible. Lorraine felt extremely confused. She did not understand or understand what happened to her, until...
...
Zhou Qingfeng handed over another bottle of potion, "Lorraine, stabilize your emotions, drink this, and feel calm. You will sink into the void and let your thoughts connect to an invisible but ubiquitous network.
, that’s the world of magic.”
Lorraine drank the second bottle of potion obediently, and the thoughts in her head became clear and transparent. It was as if her soul had left her body, and she could see her eyes closing and her body falling softly, as if she was asleep.
At the same time, two attendants from the seminar also distributed potions to the children in the main hall. Each of them took two sips. After a few minutes, most of them entered deep meditation like Lorraine.
At this moment, the wizards and apprentices in the venue finally stared at Lorraine seriously. Some frowned, some had bright eyes, and some were horrified. Because with just two bottles of potion, this girl entered a state of free soul.
It is difficult for a formal wizard to enter this ethereal state within a few minutes. This is either because the potion is too effective, or the girl's qualifications are too good, or both. Even the wizard who was sarcastic just now frowned slightly.
The essence of arcana is the connection between the soul and the Magic Web. The Magic Web is the essence of the goddess of magic. Linking to the Magic Web is to stir up the goddess and let her give you power. Just like a terminal wants to connect to the server, its own computing power and bandwidth are the key.
‘Fox’s Cunning’ can improve your intelligence, allowing you to access more higher-level abilities and permissions in your connection with the goddess. Meditation Potion can also increase your bandwidth, allowing you to focus more in a shorter period of time.
The most basic point for wizards to train apprentices is to learn how to naturally enter a meditative state and maintain it for a long enough time without the assistance of any external force or medicine. This is a qualification assessment and a necessary condition.
Many talented and intelligent people just cannot meditate, and no matter how smart they are, they can only work as scribes. Some people easily enter meditation, but do not have enough wisdom to understand the magic network. At most, they can only cheat money and become a magician.
For wizards, this kind of qualification assessment is extremely cruel. Because they themselves stand at the top of society, but every step forward is extremely difficult. Or they themselves are satisfied, but their children may not be able to maintain the family business.
Many great arcanists are famous all over the world, but their descendants are unknown to everyone.
Therefore, mysterious professions such as wizards focus on bloodline theory and only marry within a certain circle to ensure that their descendants also have arcane talents as much as possible.
Under the cruel competition, potions that can improve your qualifications are particularly important. Even a short-term improvement is valuable.
Dozens of children lay peacefully on the floor.
The wizards who were originally watching all gathered around. They checked the effects of the children's medicine, used arcane vision to analyze their connection with the magic network, and even checked their bodies to test their qualifications.
High-purity potions are not unavailable, but the quantity is small and the price is high. There is no market for them. Wizards can accept potions with less effective effects, but they must not have side effects.
After all, if you buy a low-quality potion refined by a novice just to save some gold coins, it will not only make people dizzy, but may also turn them into idiots. It is too much of a loss to gain.
This highlights a very important product indicator - consistency.
Alchemists are considered a handicraft industry, and the effects of most of the potions they produce are metaphysical, sometimes high and sometimes low. This is too distressing for wizards.
Zhou Qingfeng's method to solve this problem is very simple, batch testing. Dozens of randomly brought children take the medicine at the same time, which not only demonstrates the effect of the medicine, but also reflects the consistency of the medicine's effect.
The test results were surprisingly good.
According to the experience of wizards, 99% of the children brought here are not qualified to learn arcane arts, their qualifications are too poor. But their performance after taking the potion is excellent.
After checking on more than a dozen children, a wizard apprentice hurriedly ran to Zhou Qingfeng and asked: "Sir Hugo, how do you sell your potions?"
"Meditation potion, ten gold coins per bottle. 'Fox's Cunning' twenty-five gold coins per bottle." Zhou Qingfeng pointed to the table filled with tin bottles.
Everyone present was surprised, and their hearts pounded. The experiment on the consistency of the medicine on dozens of children cost nearly 2,000 gold coins. This was after a discount, the original price was more than 5,000 gold coins.
The pharmaceutical industry is indeed a money-burning game.
"What's the difference between this and the potion sold by Mr. Fabbro, the 'Chief Alchemist'?" The wizard apprentice felt his heart beat faster when he heard the price of the potion and asked again quickly.
"The effect is the same. My selling price is basically one-third of Fabro's. The only restriction is that if you want to buy from me at a low price, you must be a member of my 'Harmony Chamber of Commerce'. You have to pay monthly
Membership fee of fifty gold coins."
Do you have to pay a fee to join the membership to enjoy the discount? It is not that easy to take advantage of this advantage. The wizard apprentice immediately hesitated and asked again: "Sir Hugo, what are the details of your membership system?"
Zhou Qingfeng smiled, "Our membership system focuses on discounts for buying single orders. I named it 'Pinduoduo'. The more you buy, the more discounts you will get. We guarantee that those who join the membership will never suffer a loss."
Not far away, Jason took a sip of the drink in his hand to hide the embarrassment on his face - Victor Hugo started to trick people again.
