Hearing Connor's words, Isabella seemed to go crazy. She glared at Connor and said, "Yes, I did say that. But Connor Ferguson, why don't you take a look at the things you want?"
"Just the Magic Stones alone, you're asking for 15,000! Mithril, glazed cyan, dark sand … You're an alchemist. Shouldn't you know the value of these things better than I do? "
Although he knew he was asking for too much, and the value of the things he wanted far exceeded the value of Varga's ice ability, Connor still said shamelessly in order to make Varga break through to become a level-1 wizard, "Your Duke's faction is rich and powerful. These things are nothing to you!"
Hearing Connor's ridiculous words, Isabella was furious. However, before she could say anything, Adolf, who was sitting beside her on the sofa, finished reading the list Connor had listed. He then said to Connor in a deep voice, "Connor Ferguson, you have 11 materials on your list. You know very well that even if Isabella has promised you, we can't give you all these materials. So, I'll make the decision. You can choose five materials from this list!"
After Adolf finished speaking, Connor's expression did not change, but his heart sank. Adolf was right. He had listed 11 materials on the list, and each of them was very precious. Of course, he did not expect Isabella and Adolf, who were old and young, to give him all these materials just because of Isabella's promise.
Since he didn't count on Adolf, Isabella gathered these eleven materials and gave them to him. She even listed these eleven materials in the list. Connor's purpose was to confuse them. After all, he had asked for so many precious materials. Regardless of whether it was Adolf or Isabella, they would definitely be curious about what he wanted these materials for.
Connor told Adolf and Isabella the truth. His woman, Valga, was about to break through to become a level-1 wizard, but he was embarrassingly short of money and didn't have the resources to break through, so he came to ask them for resources.
Whether it was to protect Varga or to save his face, Connor could not say that to Adolf and Isabella.
Therefore, Connor needed to add some other precious materials to the few materials that Varga needed to break through to become a level-1 wizard. There was a total of 11 materials on the list.
Adolf, the old fox, had obviously seen through Connor's trick. He was trying to find out what Connor wanted to do with these materials!
Seeing that Connor did not speak, Adolf looked at Connor and said indifferently, "Connor Ferguson, don't try to bargain with me. You should know that if we did not care about Miss Isabella's reputation, you would not even have these five materials!"
Under Adolf's gaze, Connor's lips curled into a cold smile. He did not waste any time and directly listed out the five materials on his list, "Dark Cage Sand, Doron Agarwood, Cosado Lizard's magic core, Dark Star Essence, and Kostanesha Gold!"
After saying these things, Connor added, "The quantities of these five materials are already marked on the list. Send them to the Ferguson Manor within a week!"
"Sure!" Adolf looked deeply at Connor and nodded. He agreed to Connor's request.
Since they were done talking about business, Connor didn't have anything else to say to Isabella and Adolf, so he turned around and left. Although the Coresia Manor was like a maze, since Connor had already walked through it once, it wouldn't be difficult for him to walk through it again.
After Connor left the Coresia Manor, Isabella frowned and said to Adolf, "Master Adolf, the five materials that Connor Ferguson wants are also very valuable …"
"Is there any news about the apothecary by Connor Ferguson's side, Varga?" Adolf did not explain directly to Isabella. Instead, he asked her a question of his own.
Isabella didn't expect that Adolf would suddenly ask her that question. She was struck dumb for a second, then said with uncertainty, "This woman seems to be by Conner's side all the time. She never leaves Conner Ferguson's side, and she provides him with potions."
Adolf sighed slightly when he heard Isabella's answer. He then looked at the list of materials that Connor had listed out and said faintly, "If I'm not wrong, this genius apothecary, Miss Varga, has already broken through the bottleneck of her cultivation, just like you, Isabella. She's about to break through to become a level-1 wizard!"
Before Adolf could finish his words, Isabella's face was filled with shock. She said in disbelief, "Master Adolf, are you saying that the materials that Connor Ferguson wants are for Varga to break through to become a level-1 wizard?"
"That doesn't seem very possible. According to the information we have, Varga has only become a high-level wizard for about five to six years. How could she break through the bottleneck of her cultivation and try to become a level-1 wizard so soon?"
"Varga is a genius apothecary trained by Professor Reyes. She has never been short of cultivation resources. Most importantly, Varga and Connor Ferguson are very close. Since Connor's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, it's not impossible for Varga to do the same."
After saying that, Adolf handed the list of materials that Connor had given him back to the suspicious Isabella, and continued, "Connor Ferguson, although the 11 materials on the list seem to be a lot, in reality, only the Doron Agarwood, the Cosado Lizard's magical core, the Dark Star Essence, and 15,000 Magic Stones are the four things that he really wants!"
"Out of the five materials that I gave him, he chose Dark Cage Sand, Doron Agarwood, Cosado Lizard's magic core, Dark Star Essence, and Kostanesha Gold. He gave up 15,000 magic stones and chose Dark Cage Sand and Kostanesha Gold. His goal is to mislead us into thinking that he wants to use these materials to refine some kind of magic artifact!"
"But in reality, Connor Ferguson wants to use Doron Agarwood, Cosado Lizard's magic core, and Dark Star Essence to construct some kind of spell formation to help a high-level wizard apprentice break through. Connor is willing to take the risk for this person and come here to find us. From this, it can be seen that the relationship between Connor and this person is definitely not shallow! At this point, Adolf looked at Isabella.
