Chapter 85 - Loss of Reputation (2/2)

“Great Alchemist Hawkins, how come you have time to visit the Gilded Rose today?” Faleau knew that he had no other choice but to step up and respond

Honestly, if it had been before, Faleau would definitely have turned around without a word upon being confronted by Hawkins What a joke, with his status as a 9th Rank Mage and Alchee and a Great Alche for trouble?

In fact, during his time at the Black Horn Auction House, Faleau had always done so

There wasn’t anyone in the Black Horn Auction House that was better than Faleau at reading body language and adapting to the situation

He worked there for ot him in trouble hen he met Lin Yun

But Faleau had no plan to retreat today

“Who are you?” Hawkins asked

“I am Faleau, the Gilded Rose’s Alchemist I listened to your lessons a few ti older andcontemptuously

Hawkins was only in his forties and was far froe He only said this because he didn’t feel like speaking to a mere Alchemist He was an esteemed Great Alchemist, so wouldn’t it be a loss of reputation if people learnt that he met an acquaintance in such a place that was atricks actually meant, ‘Sorry, I don’t know you, don’t act familiar with me!’

Unfortunately, Faleau was far less tactful than Hawkins i ridiculed by Hawkins, Faleau acted as if he hadn’t heard him and revealed an extremely passionate smile

“I really didn’t expect to come across Great Alcheht, I heard you e of skill with the Gilded Rose? That’s very good, Great Alchee after your classes in Oakland If you have tiive ht now,” Hawkinsobvious displeasure ‘fuck, did you not hearnot clear enough? I don’t know you, okay?’

“That’s strange, Great Alchemist Hawkins, didn’t you coe of skills?”

“Yes? What about it?”

“Well, in my introduction, I did say that I was an Alchemist of the Gilded Rose…”

“I…” Hawkins al Faleau’s ear and asking if he was due of skills ‘I careat ive some pointers to the Gilded Rose’s inept Alchemists? I just received a lot of precious materials from Leader Monchi to cause trouble down here’

‘Calm down, cal himself to keep his composure

He was an esteemed Great Alchemist, how could he lose his manners in front of an Alche shaiving soe could an Alchemist in his twenty have access to? I could easily do it even if ten of hi hiht about how to proceed

‘Okay, let’s just go with pointers, I’ll use this opportunity to show everyone how poor the level of the Gilded Rose’s alche the most mystical potion of the decade after that…’

“Okay, Faleau, ask your question, I am in a hurry”

“Thank you, Great Alchemist Hawkins” Faleau hurriedly fished out a paper from his pocket and explained, “You see, Great Alchemist Hawkins, this formula only lacks one key piece of data I computed it for a few months, but there has been no result Can you help?”

“Sure, let me see…” Hawkins carelessly took the paper and checked the formula written on it

One

Ten rave

Thirty minutes later, Hawkins finally pushed away the crowd to look for a table, before taking a quill and starting to jot down some computations

One hour later, his forehead was soaked in sweat

Two hours later…

Two hours later, it was Faleau’s turn to become impatient!

“Hmm, Great Alchemist Hawkins, have you computed the result yet?”

“Hold on…” Hawkins wiped some sweat from his forehead and quickly wrote more calculations on a sheet of paper One piece of paper wasn’t enough, so there were now several dozens of sheets spread before hiures

But the more he calculated, the more Hawkins felt powerless Froet such a broken forardless of how hard he tried to solve it, it felt as if he was getting lost in that maze

“Great Alche, do you want to eat dinner?”

“Snap” The quill in Hawkins’ hand broke

“H a blanket too, he ht here”

“Understood, Alchemist Faleau” There was no need to ask Hauss knew that Faleau was asking hied Hawkins’ quill But when he fetched the blanket, he noticed that the Great Alcheer He didn’t knohether or not he should hand it over

“Don’t worry, Great Alchemist Hawkins, there is no need to hurry, you should take your time to make sure you do it properly”

Faleau’s expression looked sincere, but he was already inwardly laughing ‘What a lousy Great Alcheht that he was oe of skills Did you even check who this building belongs to? Do you understand now? A forave me to practice can easily stue Besides Faleau occasionally asking a few concerned questions, there was actually no sound in the entire lobby as all the re what kind of formula would take a Great Alchemist like Hawkins a whole afternoon

Only Faleau knew the real reason

This foro It was to be used as daily practice Faleau re that the day he was able to complete the calculations for the formula would be the day he advanced to become a Master Alchemist
