In the spacious room, looking at Mokra who stood up, everyone's eyes were filled with doubt.
Facing everyone's doubtful gaze, Mokra did not want to waste any time and went straight to the point, "Everyone here is a wizard from the Ancient Armor City, I'm sure you all know about the situation in the city."
"Is there going to be a war again?" Hearing Mokra's words, White Beard Sillar frowned and said, "Didn't you say that it was just a test?"
"That's just to appease the people."
Mokra shook his head, "Now that winter has arrived, the beastmen in the north lack food and are starting to get restless again."
"After some discussion, Kocsis and I have decided to take advantage of the weather outside to go out and eliminate a few beastmen tribes."
"What does that have to do with us?" Aishaer interrupted, her expression did not seem to change at all.
Hearing her words, the others at the side did not say anything, it was obvious that they were thinking the same thing.
"As long as you are willing to follow us on this expedition, each of you will receive 20 Magic Stones as a gift."
Looking at the few people in front of him, Mokra opened his mouth and said.
"This …"
Hearing Mokra's conditions, the few apprentices looked at each other, obviously a little hesitant.
Seeing their hesitation, Mokra frowned a little under his cold mask and continued to increase the bargaining chip, "If everyone is willing to help, after the mission is completed, in addition to the reward given by the city lord, I will personally give everyone a petal of the Flower of Undead Souls!"
"Alright … Since it's like this, then this old bag of bones will follow you all this time."
After hesitating for a while, White Beard Sillar, who was sitting in a corner, patted his chest, his loud voice echoing in the spacious room.
"I'll join as well … I can also take this opportunity to collect some beastmen's blood." Aishaer, who was at the side, also nodded and said.
Sid, who was sitting beside her, did not say anything. He just nodded silently.
Among the people present, only Adil did not say anything.
"Adil, didn't you ask Kossis to help you investigate the Mutant Beastmen?"
Looking at Adil, Mokra understood that the Magic Stones weren't attractive to a potioneering apprentice like Adil, so he said, "Our target this time is a large Orc tribe. There might be some clues about the Mutated Orcs."
Hearing this, Adil lowered his head slightly and seemed to hesitate for a while before nodding in agreement.
"Very well, then please come over on time."
Looking at Adil, Mokela nodded and said to the apprentices around him, "Don't worry.
After the matter was settled, the acolytes left, heading off in different directions.
"Lord Adil …"
Along the way, a voice suddenly called out to him.
Hearing the noise, Adil's hand that was holding the reins suddenly stopped. He stopped the horse and turned around to look behind him.
Behind him, there were a few knights wearing leather armor riding on horses, guarding the carriage in the center and rushing towards Adil and the others.
When they got closer, a tall woman wearing a white robe walked out of the carriage. Her body had a bit of magic undulation. It was Aishael.
"Lord Aishael, what can I do for you?"
Seeing Aishael walk in front of him, Adil asked curiously.
"Lord Adil, do you have time to talk to me alone for a while?"
Standing on the spot, Aishael revealed a charming smile and invited Adil.
Slightly glancing around, Adil looked at Aishaer before him and eventually nodded, agreeing to Aishaer's invitation.
"Wait for me here." He said to Aled, then quickly rode his horse and followed Aishael to the side.
"There's no one here, you can say what you want to say now."
Looking at Aishael, Adil said.
"Lord Adil is a potion master apprentice, am I right?"
After hearing Adil's words, Aishael pondered for a while and said, "Lord Adil, I wonder if you're interested in getting a potion formula?"
Hearing this, Adil was stunned for a moment and then reacted, "What potion?"
"A unique sobriety potion." Aishael said, "Mokra has just introduced me. My sect practices a unique type of blood magic."
Adil nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Blood magic is a rare sect in the ancient times. It is said that it originated from a powerful Bloody World and is very powerful." Looking at Adil, Aishael slowly explained, "However, although this type of blood magic is powerful, it will bring about some problems during the casting process. It will cause a certain degree of confusion in the caster's mind and requires a specially concocted sobriety potion to suppress it."
"Because our sect has declined and the inheritance is broken, although the formula of the sobriety potion still exists, there are no potion masters left."
"So, you want me to help you concoct the sobriety potion?"
Speaking until here, Adil understood a little.
Listening to Adil's words, Aishael nodded, "Yes, after so many years, you are the only potion master that I have come in contact with."
"Moreover, this is also a win-win situation."
Speaking until here, she smiled, "Although the sobriety potion is specially developed to suppress the confusion during the casting of blood magic, there are many concepts that can be used for reference."
"Being able to get such a potion formula for free is not a loss for you."
Aishael smiled, "You only need to promise me that after you concoct this sobriety potion, you can give me some for free because of the formula."
Hearing until here, Adil pondered for a while and said, "It's just a basic potion … If you can gather the ingredients for the potion, I don't have a problem with it."
"But, I have a request." He looked at Aishael in front of him and revealed a smile, "I am very interested in some things of your sect. After I have concocted the sobriety potion, if possible, I hope to enter your sect to learn some things. "
"Of course, knowledge is expensive."
After pausing for a while, Adil added, "As the price of learning knowledge, I am willing to pay 100 magic stones in one go. Moreover, when learning the higher level knowledge of your sect, I am willing to exchange it with knowledge of equal value."
"Moreover, this way, you can be more at ease and not worry about the problem of me deliberately not concocting the sobriety potion."
Hearing until here, Aishael's ugly expression finally recovered. She revealed some hesitation and began to seriously consider.
Generally speaking, the Magi of a sect were usually more conservative and viewed their own inheritance with extreme importance. Under normal circumstances, they would definitely not let the knowledge of their sect leak out.
However, from the fact that Aishael was willing to give the potion formula of her sect to Adil, it could be seen that although she belonged to a sect, compared to the other Magi, she did not view the knowledge of her sect as important as the other Magi.
Moreover, 100 magic stones was a huge sum of money to her.
Although the sobriety potion was also a potion formula, it was only a basic potion. Moreover, it was completely developed to deal with the problem of casting blood spells. It would not be of much use to other Magi.
If such a potion formula were to be taken out, it would not be as valuable as a full meal potion in the eyes of those Potion Masters. It would be considered a high price to be able to sell it for tens of magic stones. It would not even be worth 100 magic stones.
Moreover, with the fact that Adil was using the same higher level knowledge as a trade, the various conditions added together finally made her make up her mind.
"Alright." After thinking for a long time, she nodded, "However, let me make this clear first. I can exchange the knowledge, but I will not teach you the unique spells and secret techniques of our sect."
Hearing her words, Adil nodded. He did not care about this at all.
The reason why he was willing to pay the price was that he wanted the knowledge that was passed down in her sect. As for the spell templates, although he was also interested, he did not value them.
To a Magus, knowledge was the foundation. Although spells were powerful, they were only the application of knowledge. They were definitely not as precious as knowledge.
Moreover, as an academy Magus, Adil did not lack spells.
After coming to an agreement, they quickly left and followed their guards back to the city.
Half a month later.
As the time agreed upon with Mokra arrived, Adil walked towards the place where they had agreed to meet.
When he arrived, the Knight who had previously received Adil was already waiting there. It seemed that he had been waiting for Adil.
After seeing Adil's arrival, he hurriedly went up and smiled respectfully, "Sir Adil, the city lord is already waiting inside."
Adil nodded. After asking Elder and the others to stop outside, he went straight inside.
Inside, Kocsis and Mokra were already sitting inside, seemingly discussing something.
"Haha, Adil, you're here."
When he saw Adil, Kocsis laughed loudly and stood up, "You're really early. It's still a long time before we set off!"
"Are the others not here yet?" Looking at Kocsis, Adil felt somewhat puzzled.
"They'll be here in a while." Hearing Adil's words, Kocsis shook his head and said, "You can rest for a while. When we set off later, we'll have to walk for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Adil nodded, looked at Mokela who was sitting at the side, and sat at the side.
After a while, when the others had arrived, Kocsis looked at the sky and finally decided to set off.
