In fact, Faleau didn't know that when he and Hauss left the laboratory, Lin Yun already knew that the Twin Moons Splendor's people had arrived.
Because while Lin Yun was studying the stone tablet, he suddenly had a new idea, so he wanted the old butler to call Raymond back. But after the old butler came up, he didn't have time to mention Raymond before mentioning the Twin Moons Splendor. He said that the Twin Moons Splendor had sent an Alchemist to exchange skills with the Gilded Rose.
When the old butler said this, there was a hint of worry on his face.
Locke Merlin had been in the alchemy business in those days, and the old butler had been by his side for a long time. How could he not know what this exchange of skills meant? It was nothing more than alchemy shops suppressing each other, wanting to surpass their competitors in terms of skills in order to seize the market.
Technical exchange sounded nice, but in fact, it was like smashing their signboard and slapping their faces.
"Hehe, he really came." Lin Yun wasn't surprised at all. When the Monchi Family held the alchemy exhibition, Lin Yun knew that this exchange would happen sooner or later.
If the Monchi Family wanted to get involved in Thousand Sails City's alchemy market, they couldn't bypass the Gilded Rose. The appearance of the Hope Potion made the Gilded Rose one of the best alchemy shops in Thousand Sails City. Once the store's expansion was complete, they could even remove this title. Although the Monchi Family's Twin Moons Splendor had a great reputation, in the eyes of many people, they still lacked a signature product like the Hope Potion.
Now, the Monchi Family held an alchemy exhibition and announced the Nothingness Potion and the Berserk Blood Potion. They already had the confidence to suppress the Gilded Rose in terms of technology.
Lin Yun would have suspected that Monchi's IQ was the same as Mason's if he didn't come to communicate with him.
But to be honest, Lin Yun really wasn't worried.
Lin Yun could even guess that the so-called Nothingness Potion and Berserk Blood Potion were actually imitations of the Volcano Potion and Ghost Potion.
When Monchi spent 4,000,000 golds to buy the Volcano Potion and the Ghost Potion in the Black Horn Auction, Lin Yun knew that an Alchemist had most likely taken a fancy to the technology used in them.
But so what if he took a fancy to her …
Alchemy techniques weren't cabbages that could be found anywhere on the street.
Any Great Alchemist with a certain level could analyze some techniques from alchemy items as long as they were willing to spend some time. These techniques might be related to the processing of magic materials, to design ideas, to operation methods …
But in Noscent's long history, was there ever a Great Alchemist that successfully copied a Master Alchemist?
Forget about Master Alchemists …
Plagiarism between Great Alchemists had never happened in Noscent's history.
The techniques obtained from the analysis of an alchemy item were only the simplest and most superficial things. The core contents couldn't be obtained through analysis.
Therefore, the inheritance of knowledge between alchemists was always a master-disciple inheritance.
Because there were some things that you would only know and understand after your teacher personally told you.
Those things were the true core of alchemy.
If you wanted to obtain everything through analysis, you would have to be an Artisan to analyze the work of an Apprentice Alchemist. That way, you would be able to understand everything about the work at a glance. But this was a suppression of knowledge, a suppression of rank, and the analysis itself.
The only things that could be obtained through analysis were inferior imitations like the Nothingness Potion and the Berserk Blood Potion.
One second of physical immunity, a short Berserk State …
Lin Yun didn't even feel like looking at this kind of trash.
…
At this time, Faleau had already led Hauss to the lobby of the Gilded Rose. At a glance, there were many people surrounding the place. They had all heard that the Twin Moons Splendor and the Gilded Rose were going to have a technical exchange and rushed over to watch the excitement. Some came from the Sage Tower, some came from the Mercenary Guild, and some were even the owners and Alchemists of other alchemy shops.
In any case, when Faleau entered the lobby, there were at least a hundred people!
'How could there be so many people …' Faleau inwardly cursed. 'These guys are really bored. Hearing that there was something interesting to watch, they ran faster than the other. Damn, the Silver Moon Mercenary Group is on an expedition to Edge Rift, why don't you go and take a look? Are you afraid of losing too much health?'
After cursing inwardly, Faleau glanced at the center of the crowd and couldn't help frowning.
'It's actually Hawkins?' Standing in the middle of the crowd was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had an ordinary appearance and was wearing a somewhat shabby robe.
But Faleau knew that this was a Great Alchemist.
A Great Alchemist from the Black Tower!
Before Faleau entered the Black Horn Auction House, he had studied alchemy at the Okland Magic School. That place was the traditional sphere of influence of the Black Tower. At that time, Hawkins was already quite famous. As a Great Alchemist in his thirties, he had once accepted an invitation from the Okland Magic School to give a lesson to Faleau.
Not long after, he was recruited by the Black Tower. Moreover, Faleau knew that Hawkins was a very powerful Great Mage in addition to being a Great Alchemist. When Faleau went to Thousand Sails City, Hawkins was already a 5th Rank Great Mage. His current strength was probably at the 6th Rank or even the 7th Rank.
'A bit troublesome …'
"Let me introduce myself first. I am Hawkins, a Great Alchemist of the Twin Moons Splendor. I believe everyone should have heard that the Twin Moons Splendor held an alchemy exhibition a few days ago, and that Berserk Blood potion was my work." Hawkins' eyes swept through the crowd as he spoke, but he didn't stop on anyone. This was because he felt that no one present was worthy of his attention.
As a Great Alchemist from the Black Tower, Hawkins felt that he had the confidence to be proud.
Even in the entire Thousand Sails City, there were only three people worthy of Hawkins' attention. One was Thorpe, one of the three big shots of the Black Tower, the other was the leader of the Alchemist Guild, Lys, and the last was the Black Horn Auction House's Cadgar. The first two were because they were close to Master Alchemists, while Cadgar was because of the Black Horn chamber of commerce behind him. Apart from them, the other Great Alchemists of Thousand Sails City were nothing in Hawkins' eyes.
Because he was a Great Alchemist of the Black Tower!
As for the small Gilded Rose, there was no need to mention it.
So what if the Gilded Rose promoted the Hope Potion? Aside from the cost factor, the Hope Potion wasn't a particularly amazing potion. In the end, the Hope Potion was only targeted at Magic Apprentices. The alchemy knowledge required was only at the Alchemist level. As long as he had the formula, he could find an ordinary Alchemist to complete it.
If not for Leader Monchi's repeated requests and promises of all kinds of precious magic materials, Hawkins wouldn't have been willing to come to the Gilded Rose.
What technical exchange …
How could a group of ordinary Alchemists be qualified to have a technical exchange with a Great Alchemist like him?
