If Connor wasn't mistaken, just the alchemy equipment in this alchemy laboratory alone was worth at least 300,000 magic stones! Note that the unit of measurement here wasn't gold pounds, but magic stones! If converted to gold pounds, there would definitely be two to three million gold pounds. With so many gold pounds, it would be more than enough to fight a medium-scale war!
"This place used to be Master's alchemy laboratory," Old Victor lamented as he surveyed the alchemy equipment around him. His aged voice seemed to contain a hint of reminiscence.
"Teacher's alchemy laboratory?"
Hearing the word 'Master' from Old Victor's words, Connor instantly understood. He was just curious about what kind of big shot the user of this' luxurious' alchemy laboratory was. But if this was the laboratory of his teacher, Reyes, then everything made sense. With the power and influence of the Secret Society, Reyes's strength and status in the Secret Society, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to have such an alchemy laboratory.
"It used to be! After Master became a level-2 Magus and refined that thing, he never came here again! " Old Victor seemed to be immersed in the memories of the past, and there was a hint of sadness in his voice.
"What is that thing? Something that could make Reyes never come to such a luxurious alchemy laboratory again, I believe it must be something extraordinary! " Although Connor was full of curiosity and wanted Old Victor to continue talking about the "thing" that Old Victor mentioned, he didn't ask because he knew that Old Victor was cunning and shrewd. Even if he asked, it would be a waste of time.
"That's not right! There are obviously traces of recent use here! " After surveying the surroundings, Connor pointed at a substance analyzer in the laboratory and said doubtfully. As an alchemist, although he hadn't used such a good alchemy equipment in his alchemy career so far, it didn't prevent him from confirming whether the alchemy equipment had been used recently.
Old Victor looked in the direction that Connor pointed at and stared at the substance analyzer for a while. Shortly after, he waved his hand and said indifferently, "It should be done by Martina. She also has the key here. Since Master doesn't use this place anymore, it doesn't matter if she fiddles with it!"
"That woman is also an alchemist?" When Connor heard from Old Victor that the traces on the substance analyzer were caused by Martina, he asked in astonishment, "What's wrong?
"Oh, I don't know if she's an alchemist, but I do know that Martina is quite interested in alchemy. Previously, she even pestered Master to teach her alchemy. You should know her identity, so Master made an exception and taught her a few moves out of respect for Master Conti. I just don't know how she's doing now!" Old Victor said calmly.
Upon hearing Old Victor's words, Connor's expression instantly turned speechless. Reyes actually taught Martina a few moves. If that's the case, I'm still considered to be Senior Brother of that woman? F * ck, this is too ridiculous!
Although Martina's appearance wasn't bad at all, and her figure and appearance were only second to Marguerite among the women he knew, Connor didn't have any good impression of Martina. After hearing that he might be Martina's disciple, Connor really couldn't describe his feelings.
"This time, I hurriedly asked Martina to find you, Connor. On one hand, I want to confirm how much you have mastered the alchemy technique of mental micro-manipulation. On the other hand, I want to ask for your help to engrave Siphon Runes on some materials using the method of mental micro-manipulation!" After ending his reminiscing of the past, Old Victor finally started talking about the main topic.
After saying that, Old Victor took out five sealed jade boxes from his space ring and placed them on the table in the laboratory.
"Engrave Siphon Runes? Processing? "
Connor frowned and asked Old Victor. To be honest, he really thought that Old Victor would find him here to test his level of mental micro-manipulation. He thought of a few answers, but he really didn't expect that Old Victor's purpose was to let him process some things using mental micro-manipulation.
However, although Old Victor's purpose seemed unexpected, it seemed to be reasonable. In refining some complicated high-grade enchanted items, the refining process wasn't completed in one go. Instead, it was completed in stages. Other than the most crucial steps that needed to be completed by the main Alchemist of the enchanted item, the simple processing of alchemy materials that wasn't too difficult could be handed over to an ordinary Alchemist. There was no need for the main Alchemist to do it personally.
However, ever since he started learning alchemy, Connor had always refined enchanted items by himself. He had never refined enchanted items with others, let alone processed any materials for others. However, from Old Victor's words, it seemed that he was going to be an assistant today.
"Is it for Teacher?" After thinking for a while, Connor raised his head and asked Old Victor.
Under Connor's gaze, Old Victor shook his head and said, "You don't need to know about this, Connor!"
"No! This is very necessary. This is related to my pride as an Alchemist. Butler Victor, do you understand? It's not impossible for me to be an assistant! But you have to prove that your alchemy level is above mine. If you aren't better than me, then why should I be your assistant? " Connor pointed at the five jade boxes on the table with a solemn expression and said word by word with a very serious attitude.
Hearing Connor's answer, Old Victor fell into silence for a while. After a long time, he said, "I don't know about Connor, but have you heard of the name Southgate?"
Hearing Old Victor mention the name Southgate, Connor nodded and said, "I have seen this name in the 'Reyes Alchemy' book that Teacher taught me. He seems to be Teacher's classmate. Teacher highly admires his attainments in Magical Beast Transformation and Alchemy! Why, am I processing materials for him this time? "
"That's right! Sir Southgate is a Great Alchemist. Are you satisfied? "Old Victor's murky eyes looked at Connor with a scrutinizing gaze.
"A Great Alchemist? Then there's no problem. But after I use my mental power to inscribe the siphon runes on the materials of these five jade boxes, can I watch the process of Southgate refining the enchanted item? " After thinking for a while, Connor was somewhat eager to preach. If he could watch the process of a Great Alchemist refining an enchanted item, it would be very beneficial to him.
