Silent as he sat on the bed, Adil counted his belongings.
Adil did not hesitate for long in regards to the two choices that Master Edith had given him.
Although the secret plane left behind by the ancient Magi was good, it was not as important as his own life.
From Master Edith's description, Adil could already foresee the bloodbath that was about to befall this region.
For Magi, the ancient secret plane was extremely attractive. It could be foreseen that in the future, many Magus families and wandering acolytes would be attracted to this secret plane. In addition to the acolytes from numerous Magus organisations, the competition and danger would be too intense.
Although the secret plane had large amounts of precious resources and knowledge, it was not important to Adil.
His current strength was only at level 2, and because he had mastered the art of Potioneering, he did not lack magic crystals for the time being. There was no need for him to risk his life in the secret plane.
"Moreover, in terms of resources, how can a mere secret plane compare to an entire new world?"
Turning to look out the window, Adil thought to himself calmly.
Adil had the innate talent of traversing between worlds. As long as he waited patiently for the energy to accumulate, when the time was up, he would be able to head to other worlds and directly obtain resources and knowledge from them.
With such prospects, he was naturally not willing to risk his life for the resources of a mere secret plane.
"Close to a hundred portions of Healing Potions, more than two hundred magic crystals, and some other miscellaneous items …"
Sitting on the bed, Adil counted the items that he had accumulated in this period of time in Silence.
On the bed, there was a pile of scattered items. However, the most important thing was the close to a hundred portions of Healing Potions, and the more than two hundred magic crystals that he had accumulated in this period of time.
With the help of the A.I. Chip, Adil's success rate in Potioneering far exceeded what others could imagine. Now, due to the gradual improvement of his attributes, his success rate in Potioneering alone had increased to nearly a third.
These potions before him were the ones that he had accumulated during this period of time. Because he wanted to conceal his success rate, he had not chosen to sell them previously, but had instead slowly accumulated them.
"The enlistment is about to begin. Although the academy hasn't officially announced it yet, the atmosphere in the academy is a little off. The prices of various potions and enchanted items are skyrocketing."
Sitting on the bed, Adil pondered in Silence, "If I sell these potions now, I can definitely earn a large sum of Magic Stones. Moreover, under the current circumstances, even if I attract the attention of others, they won't have the time to investigate."
"Also, we've only used half of the materials that Grace gave us. There's still a lot of them left in the laboratory."
"These materials can't be wasted either. According to Mentor Edith, there's still a month before the academy's compulsory enlistment. I can use some free time to refine some potions."
After calculating his next schedule, Adil got up, picked up some things on the bed, and walked into the distance.
Walking out of the dormitory building, he purposely stopped to chat with some of the acolytes he was familiar with.
After probing for a while, Adil discovered a pattern.
Those acolytes with mentors seemed to have already been notified by their mentors. As for those acolytes without mentors or backgrounds, they were still being kept in the dark. Although they could feel that the atmosphere in the academy was off, they did not know the whole story.
"As expected, the difference in treatment is everywhere."
Standing on the spot, Adil sighed as he looked at the acolytes in the distance.
After a while, he arrived at the familiar underground market.
Compared to before, there were clearly more acolytes here, all of them hurrying about, shuttling back and forth.
Walking here, Adil casually looked around.
Compared to before, the prices of some materials had dropped significantly, but not many acolytes were willing to buy them. On the other hand, the prices of potions and enchanted items were skyrocketing, and they were often bought the moment they appeared.
Standing on the spot, thinking for a while, Adil walked to a corner.
There, he saw Ella, who was dressed in a gray robe. Ella was the one who had sold the equipment to Adil the potion refinement equipment.
"Adil, why are you here?"
In the corner, Ella was a little surprised to see Adil suddenly walk over. "Could it be that you've chosen to stay as well?"
"As expected, you've received the news."
Looking at the old man in front of him, Adil's expression was calm, and he looked at him in Silence.
"Hehe." Ella raised his right hand and pointed at himself, "Although I'm pretty much useless now, after being in the academy for so many years, I still know some people.
But you, since you've already become an acolyte, why are you risking your life with us? "
A self-mocking expression appeared on his face as he looked at Adil.
In response, Adil shook his head and did not explain. Instead, he asked, "What about you? You know that the risk is great, so why do you still want to go? "
"I'm different from you guys."
Speaking up to here, a bitter expression appeared on Ella's face, "I've already tried to become an official wizard twice, and my mental strength is about to dissipate. It's hard to even construct a spell template, let alone become an official wizard."
"This time, the academy has given me a lot of rewards for the recruitment. If I can find some resources, I might be able to exchange for a bottle of active potion and try to break through again."
Listening to his words, Adil stood still and shook his head.
"I still have some healing potions with me, I hope you can help me deal with them."
He looked at Ella and did not say anything else, but went straight to the point.
"Healing potion?"
Ella was startled, "It's very easy to sell these things now, how many do you have?"
"Around 100." Adil said calmly.
"Cough cough …"
Listening to Adil's words, Ella looked at Adil with a bit of disbelief, "How many did you say?"
"Alright … This is indeed a bit too much, but under the current circumstances, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with them."
After confirming with Adil again and again, Ella's expression became calm again. He looked at Adil and said, "Also, because of the price of potions, even if we sell them in large quantities, the price of each potion can be increased to around 8 magic crystals."
Hearing this price, Adil nodded calmly, "If it's possible, I hope you can help me find some potion formulas. Ancient potions or incomplete formulas are not a problem."
"In exchange, when you use the formulas, the price of each potion can be reduced to 6 magic crystals."
Hearing this, Ella's eyes immediately lit up, "If that's the case, I can help you settle it."
"I only need 3 days to get results."
"Then let's arrange a time to meet in 3 days." Hearing Ella's words, Adil nodded, agreeing with her suggestion.
After agreeing on the time and place for the transaction, Adil turned around and walked to other places.
The first place he went was the Mission Hall.
After walking in, there were some acolytes walking around, but there weren't many of them.
After arriving here, Adil did not hesitate and looked at the missions that had a long time limit and were far away from the academy.
"Patrol the Southern Mountain Range, 2 years."
"Suppress the Merfolk in the Leondo Sea, 3 years."
Looking through the missions, Adil could not help but frown, "I was too careless. The missions in the academy that are far away from this region are limited. Those that fit the requirements have mostly been taken by people who are preparing to leave the academy."
"Luckily, the teachers have only just informed their acolytes, and many are still considering, which is why they haven't taken all of the missions yet."
"However, looking at the situation, if I had come a day or two later, I might not have been able to leave."
After all, Uralto College was a Magus organization, and the academy itself was located in a dangerous region. There were only a few safe paths that could be taken.
Without a valid reason, the guards at the academy's gates would not let acolytes pass, and they would be locked in the academy for nothing.
"With this buffer time, by the time those ordinary acolytes with no background react, the suitable missions will have already been taken. They can only stay in the academy and wait for recruitment."
Thinking to there, Adil could not help but shake his head and continue to look at the stone slab in front of him.
"Investigate the Bloodthirsty Beastmen that appeared near the Kumador Palace, 2 years …"
After a while, he raised his head and looked at the mission displayed on the stone slab in the distance, and his eyes lit up.
"The Kumador Kingdom is quite far from here, and the time limit for the mission is quite long. It can completely satisfy my requirements."
"Also, that region is different from where the academy is. Even though there are some scattered Magi, most of them are small-scale Magi, and there aren't any powerful Magus organizations stationed there. With my strength, I only need to be careful of the level 3 acolytes that might exist, and there won't be too much danger. "
Standing on the spot and looking at the mission in front of him, Adil calculated in Silence, "Also, even though that place is remote and backward, since there are Magi active there, there should still be some basic resources and casting materials. I won't have to worry about some basic materials."
Magi's studies required a large amount of resources. Not only did they require potions, but they also required materials for experiments, including casting materials. They were all indispensable.
In the academy, Adil did not have to worry about these, but if he were to go to other regions, he would have to worry about these resources.
For example, on the Balu Islands where Adil was previously, there were almost no traces of Magi. Apart from other reasons, the environment was harsh, and the lack of resources for Magi was definitely the biggest reason.
After making his decision, Adil calmed himself down and walked to a corner.
"What mission do you want to take?"
A voice came from the front and asked Adil.
