“To say the truth, he is indeed a Blacksmith…” Macklin said as he shrugged his shoulders.
“This young man…” Andoine murmured while he scratched his head in a daze. How could a human be so extraordinary? Being such a remarkable genius in forging, Lin Li was really a rare individual—like a dinosaur. Furthermore, Andoine clearly remembered that his man had extremely deep Pharmaceutical knowledge. The old man absolutely could not comprehend how this freak was able to scale such great heights.
After trying all possible ways in his persuasion, Macklin finally convinced Andoine to forgive Aeron for the time being.
“I will let today’s matter pa.s.s. But, Macklin, don’t blame me for killing this fella if Felic gets hurt in Alanna. My decision will be final even if Aldwin comes over to beg me. Do you understand?”
“Y-yes, yes!” Macklin nodded profusely. After they returned to Alanna Guild of Magic, he would get Aldwin to lock up that b.a.s.t.a.r.d son of his. ‘F*ck you, Aeron… why am I taking the blame for you?’
Even if he were Aldwin, he would not have dared to have any direct confrontation with Antoine or mess with his students. Unless… he was tired of living.
“Take him away…”
Macklin was greatly relieved. With these words, it meant that Aeron’s life had been spared.
After dismissing Macklin, Andoine walked towards Lin Li with an anxious expression. “Felic, please help me take a look this bottle of the Bull’s Strength Potion…”
“He hasn’t changed much…” Lin Li said, and laughed under his breath. He opened the cork stopper of the dark-red gla.s.s bottle Andoine pa.s.sed him and took a sniff…
“The ingredients are alright,” replied Lin Li. With just a sniff, he could tell that this Bull’s Strength Potion was more powerful than before. He had no issues with the ingredients of the potion. All four ingredients inside were in perfect ratio, and… it was very rare that the old man did not add any other weird things inside.
And just because of this oddity, Lin Li could not help but ask, “Who taught you this?”
“Grimm Burnside.” While replying him, the old Mage suddenly realized that he had been tricked. So, he tweaked his answer. “Grimm Burnside gave me some suggestions. I thought they were good, so I adopted them reluctantly…”
“Why don’t you admit it, hahaha…” Lin Li laughed as he put the cap back on the bottle and returned it to Andoine. “This bottle of Bull’s Strength Potion was generally well made, with the exception of the temperature it was created in. I remember telling you that when you are heating up the terocone juice, you need to maintain the temperature at the boiling point—not too hot or cold. Or else, there would be a violent reaction from the dracaena gra.s.s, leading to dire consequences—and that’s no laughing matter. At the very least, the Bull’s Strength Potion would turn into poison. Or else, it would emit a toxic effervescence that would kill anyone—regardless of whether you are a legendary Sword Sage or a legendary Mage!”
“Oh, maintain the temperature at the boiling point…” Andoine nodded as he repeated Lin Li’s advice in a serious tone.
“Oh yes, how did you find this place?”
“It’s a long story… Let’s find somewhere quiet to take a sit, and I will tell you everything!” the old man said excitedly as he pulled Lin Li away, ignoring the people around him.
While the two of them found a secluded spot to speak, the others were left dumbfounded…
Especially Macklin—he totally could not believe his eyes!
Illusion! It had to be an illusion! Macklin rubbed his eyes vigorously, yet he had to admit: everything was real…
That old fella, Andoine, came with a bottle of potion to consult Lin Li?!
G.o.ddammit, I’m going crazy…
Macklin was really going mad. He was definitely clear about Andoine’s ident.i.ty. Although that old dude did not get into the Pharmacists Guild, he was a true Pharmacist!
And now, this true Pharmacist came here to consult his student…
Macklin thought he saw a dinosaur.
W-what a monster…
Not to mention his freakish potential in Magic, he was also immensely talented in the art of forging and in pharmacy! Most importantly, that fella was still under the age of 20!
