The gray-robed mage's casual self-introduction was like a clap of thunder that sounded above the heads of the guests.
Everyone gasped, and the banquet hall was filled with exclamations. The name Grimm Burnside was a living legend to the people of Jarrosus City.
In the past century, there were two most famous mages in Jarrosus City. One was Andoine from the Guild of Magic, and the other was the old man in the gray mage robe in front of them — Grimm Burnside.
To some extent, the two mages had a lot in common. For example, both of them were from Jarrosus City, both of them had reached the legendary realm that mages dreamed of, and … both of them were obsessed with pharmaceutics.
But in the field of pharmaceutics, the two had taken completely different paths.
Andoine's talent was so poor that it was breathtaking. Even a pharmaceutics expert like Lin Li had a deep sense of frustration when facing him. Coupled with his stubborn temper, it was simply a disaster. Think about it — a stubborn old man who had lived for more than a hundred years but couldn't even figure out the most basic formula, yet had a high-level potion formula in his hands. He would make difficult experiments like the Bull's Strength at every turn. It was a great miracle that he hadn't been blown up after so many years of experimental accidents …
On the other hand, Grimm, who was also a Legendary-mage like him, was a rare pharmaceutics genius in the Felan Kingdom. In his twenties, he had already made remarkable achievements in pharmaceutics. His genius even alarmed the Pharmacists Guild. On the day he became a Magic Shooter at the age of 30, the Anril Pharmacists Guild officially announced that they had accepted Grimm Burnside as an official member.
Decades later, Grimm Burnside had reached the level of a master in pharmaceutics. Even within the Pharmacists Guild, he was definitely an important figure who had a say.
A legendary mage and a master pharmacist — under these two dazzling halos, Grimm Burnside had become the most representative figure in Jarrosus City. His reputation even surpassed that of Andoine, who was also a legendary mage.
In Jarrosus City, you could not know the six underground forces, the 11 mage families, or even the Guild of Magic or the legendary mage Andoine, but you could never not have heard of the legend of Grimm Burnside …
When such a legend that they could only look up to stood in front of everyone, they could only feel the word "shock" in their hearts.
Whether it was the fat man who wanted to introduce his daughter to Kevin, the auntie with busty breasts, or Anthony Rolin, who was fawning over Bathrilor, at this moment, their gazes at Grimm Burnside were full of heartfelt admiration.
In Grimm Burnside's long life, he had long been accustomed to being the center of attention. Surrounded by a group of guests, his wrinkled face still had a gentle smile, and he even nodded to several familiar family leaders as a greeting.
However, his eyes were fixed on Lin Li.
In fact, the reason why he came to Jarrosus City was to take a look at this young mage. When he was in Alanna, Andoine had boasted that he was omnipotent. He was not even 20 years old, but he had already achieved unfathomable talent in pharmaceutics, and was a magic genius comparable to the God of Mages.
Despite his deep friendship with Andoine, Grimm was still skeptical of this Andoine.
It was not that Andoine was speaking, but Old Grimm felt that there should not be such a person in theory.
Whether it was magic or pharmaceutics, they both required a lot of time to research, especially pharmaceutics. As a master of pharmaceutics, Old Grimm was well aware of the hardships involved. Formulas that could never be fully mastered, potion formulas with astronomical figures, experiments after experiments, failures after failures — even a little progress required a lot of time to accumulate.
The mage in front of him was only in his twenties, and his face even looked a little childish. Even if he had started studying pharmaceutics since birth, it was impossible to make a huge breakthrough at this age, not to mention that he also needed a lot of time to learn magic at the same time.
Speaking of magic …
Old Grimm had to admit that this young man named Felic was indeed a rare genius in magic.
Putting aside the Flaming Storm earlier, it was not surprising for him to release a level-nine spell with his realm close to that of a Magic Shooter. But the Wind Blade and Icicle from before had left a deep impression on Old Grimm.
Skillful and precise control of mana, amazing speed of elemental sequencing. Although it was just a Wind Blade and Icicle, in Grimm Burnside's opinion, it was definitely more surprising than a level-ten spell. Mana control and elemental sequencing were basic skills that any mage needed to learn.
But it was only at his realm that he understood how important these two most basic magic skills were to a mage. It was like laying a solid enough foundation before building a house. Without a solid enough foundation, no matter how tall and gorgeous the house was, it could collapse overnight.
And with the improvement of the magic level, the true strength of a mage often had to be judged by these most basic things. More precise control of mana and faster elemental sequencing could allow more variations of magic and faster casting speed.
Just like Old Grimm and Andoine today — they were both legendary mages, but if they were to really fight, Old Grimm did not have any confidence at all. After all, he had spent too much time on pharmaceutics, and although Andoine was equally addicted, the time he spent on magic skills was far more than his own.
In a battle at their level, the most basic things had become the key to determining the outcome.
But Old Grimm still had some doubts about the level of this young mage's pharmaceutics.
He needed some time to verify and see if this young mage was really a genius in pharmaceutics as Andoine said.
If he was really as excellent as Andoine said, Old Grimm felt that he could give him a little guidance and even develop him into the Pharmacists Guild.
As an important member of the Pharmacists Guild, Old Grimm was well aware of the current situation of the guild — it was decaying and withering day by day, without a trace of initiative and vitality. What the Pharmacists Guild needed most now was fresh blood to tide over the possible crisis, and the young mage in front of him might be a good addition …
