Bassoro once again hit him while he was down and personally compounded a potion according to the four formulas Lin Yun had given him.
"…" Granger looked at that potion, tears flowing down his cheeks. 'I was just joking, how could you be so fast? You only got the formula a few minutes ago and you already finished it. Do you think I'm not miserable enough? '
'Granger guessed right again …'
Bassoro didn't stop after taking out the finished product and volunteered to help Lin Yun with the extraction. Under the exquisite operation of a Great Alchemist, the blood within the glass bottle was quickly separated and a few drops of transparent liquid were separated into another glass bottle, emitting a pungent sour smell.
"Granger, look at this …" After Bassoro finished his explanation, he sniffed with an awkward expression.
"…" Granger almost jumped up.
'Damn, why are you looking at me with such an awkward expression?
Don't tell me you want me to personally taste it … '
'We are all members of the Alchemist Guild, is there a need to be so excessive?
Why don't you personally taste it … '
"You … What do you want?" Granger subconsciously covered his mouth. When he looked at Bassoro, his eyes were filled with vigilance.
"…" How could Bassoro not know what Granger was thinking when he saw his expression?
'That idiot …'
Bassoro inwardly cursed. He truly looked down on this fellow Great Alchemist. His table manners were too unsightly. For a small profit, he maliciously attacked that young mage during the hearing. It was so obvious, yet he thought others wouldn't be able to see through it.
If it had been someone else, Bassoro most likely wouldn't have cared.
To a Great Alchemist, the survival of an alchemy shop was only a trivial matter. Offending a colleague over a trivial matter wasn't worth it in Bassoro's eyes.
The problem was that he couldn't ignore this person today.
Molin had clearly said that when that young mage returned to the Gilded Rose, it was Solomon who personally saw him off at the entrance!
What kind of concept was that?
Even Saruman had to personally send him off. Is he someone that you, Granger, can offend?
Granger could be considered lucky. That wind blade had only cut Crewe's wrist. If it was someone with a bad temper, based on what Granger had just said, that wind blade might have landed on his neck. At that time, he wouldn't even have a place to cry …
It's fine if you don't know what's good for you, but you even implicated me to clean up the mess for you.
At the thought of this, Bassoro felt a little unbalanced. The hand that was holding the glass bottle couldn't help but move it closer to Granger …
"Take it away, take it away!" Granger was on the verge of tears.
"It does look like a Dissipation Potion …" Bassoro saw that it was about time before he removed the glass bottle and voiced his opinion. However, he still asked, "Granger, what do you think?"
"I …"
Granger opened his mouth but did not know what to say.
It couldn't be helped, Granger was in a difficult position …
Agree with Bassoro's opinion? Then today's hearing might become the biggest joke of the Alchemist Guild, and the funniest person would definitely be Granger. But if he didn't agree, what would he do if Bassoro put that glass bottle in front of him? Would he really have to personally taste it?
"This …" Granger was at a loss for a long time before finally coming to a decision. 'What Monchi Family? What magic materials? To hell with them! I can't even protect myself right now, so how could I have the time to care about you?'
Humans were like this. Once they thought things through, they would become very straightforward.
"That's right, I also think that this is a Dissipation Potion!" Granger made up his mind and his expression changed into a dignified one. He took the glass bottle from Bassoro's hand and slowly walked towards the young Magic Apprentice. "Magic Apprentice Crewe, what do you have to say for yourself?"
"I …" Crewe was in a daze. Everything in front of him had changed too quickly. First, a Wind Blade cut his wrist, then a Great Alchemist was left speechless, and now, this Great Alchemist directly changed sides and was questioning him with a glass bottle.
'How could this be …'
Crewe originally hadn't seen much of the world, and the most powerful people he usually dealt with were alchemists. Crewe had never seen a scene like this where three Great Alchemists were sitting together, even in his dreams.
Not to mention being questioned by a Great Alchemist with a dignified expression.
Crewe stood there with a lifeless expression, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
'How could this be? Didn't the butler of the Monchi Family, Jonathan, repeatedly guarantee that he wouldn't be exposed? Didn't he say that Great Alchemist Granger would definitely think of a way to help me?
'He … Is this how he helped me?'
"Great Alchemist Bassoro and I agreed that the potion extracted from your blood was a Dissipation Potion. In other words, Magic Apprentice Crewe, you most likely provided false testimony during this hearing. Thus, after discussing it with Great Alchemist Bassoro, we decided to end this hearing here. The Gilded Rose can resume its business at any time. As for you, Magic Apprentice Crewe, we will conduct some investigations on you later. I hope you can cooperate."
'It's over, it's all over …'
Following Granger's words, the young Magic Apprentice suddenly felt his vision darken. 'It's over, everything is over. The conditions that the Monchi Family promised me are all gone, and I have to bear the consequences of drinking the Dissipation Potion. What's even more frightening is that the Alchemist Guild will conduct an investigation on me. If they find out that I gave false testimony during this hearing, I won't be able to get any work in Thousand Sails City in the future.
'It shouldn't be like this …'
He was already a 9th Rank Magic Apprentice when he left the Gilded Rose. As long as he worked hard, he might be able to become a Mage. A bright future was waving at him. 'Why did I agree to Jonathan's request? Why did I drink that Dissipation Potion?'
Crewe stood there in a daze. His entire person seemed to have lost his soul. He wanted to defend himself with a few words, but the words that came out of his mouth sounded like he was talking to himself. "This is not a Dissipation Potion. You have no evidence …"
In the end, his mutterings were overheard by Granger …
Granger suddenly felt like killing someone. 'Damn, you still want proof? Do you want to see me drink that Dissipation Potion before you can be happy?'
"Someone, take Magic Apprentice Crewe away. Remember to keep a close eye on him. Magic Apprentice Crewe might be related to a few tragedies. The Alchemist Guild will send someone to investigate."
"…" The young Magic Apprentice's vision darkened once again as he was dragged out of the meeting room.
Just as Crewe was being dragged out of the meeting room, another staff member came in and took the piece of paper with the four alchemy formulas written on it from Bassoro.
But the few people in the meeting room were very busy at this time.
Granger was busy speaking good words, Lin Yun was busy laughing, Bassoro was busy sorting out the hearing records, and the remaining Great Alchemist was dozing off. Thus, no one paid attention to the whereabouts of that piece of paper.
"That, Mage Merlin, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding …" Granger's smiling face was even uglier than crying.
Originally, with Granger's status as an esteemed Great Alchemist, even if he had made a mistake during the hearing, he wouldn't have used such a fawning tone to talk to Lin Yun.
But it just so happened that when Bassoro and Granger were discussing the results of the hearing, Granger didn't know if it was intentional or not, but he revealed a bit of the matter of Solomon personally seeing him off to Granger.
This time, Granger was truly scared to the point of tearing up.
It turned out that the person the Monchi Family wanted him to deal with was actually such a dangerous person!
If he had known earlier, let alone magic materials, even if the Monchi Family opened their warehouse for him to move, he wouldn't have agreed. What a joke, Solomon hadn't personally seen someone off for over twenty years. Last time, Solomon had only escorted Ryan to the reception room, and that had already caused a huge uproar in Thousand Sails City. Now, this Mafa Merlin was actually being personally escorted back to the Gilded Rose by Solomon!
Cold sweat dripped down Granger's back as he thought about it.
"Haha …" Lin Yun only chuckled at Granger's fawning. Although he didn't say anything, he didn't continue to make things difficult for the other side.
Because Lin Yun knew that someone would soon come looking for him.
Sure enough, just as Granger was thinking of ways to defend himself, another staff member entered the meeting room and whispered something in Bassoro's ear.
Bassoro, who had been sorting out the records of the hearing, froze when he heard the staff member's words. He then abruptly stood up and stared at Lin Yun, his face filled with doubt and shock.
Bassoro stood there in a daze for a long time before gulping. "That … Mage Merlin …"
"What is it, Great Alchemist Bassoro?"
"You … The alchemy formula you just gave, isn't it missing a line?" Bassoro used the term "you" as soon as he opened his mouth. If this spread, who knew how many people would go crazy from fright. After all, Bassoro was one of the most important members of the Alchemist Guild, and his status was even higher than Granger's. In the entire Alchemist Guild, or even in the entire Thousand Sails City, the number of people he would call "you" could be counted on two hands!
