Chapter 513 - A Letter From Balbo
“In that case, I shall not disturb you any longer, President Felic,” Wilkinson said while staring at Lin Li, who he felt would not be able to answer the pharmaceutical questions that he had just asked. Hence, he left in disappointment.
“Wait a minute,” said Lin Li, who decided to tell Wilkinson the answers to his questions since there was nothing important for him to do at the moment. “You don’t have anything urgent to do now, do you? I know how to answer your questions. If you’re not in a hurry, take a seat and hear me out.”
“What!?” Wilkinson asked in astonishment, thinking that he had heard wrongly.
Lin Li immediately shook his head, and said, “It’s just questions about the double-helix cold extraction technique and the nine-color qualitative theory. What’s so difficult about that?”
Wilkinson shrieked in shock after hearing Lin Li’s words just as he was about to turn around to leave. He almost thought that he was out of his mind.
Wilkinson himself was already an intermediate pharmacist, and a proud disciple of Master Balbo. Hence, he would obviously raise substantial and difficult questions. Actually, ever since Wilkinson arrived and gained some inspiration from the concoction of process of the modified Bone Erosion Powder, Wilkinson could vaguely sense that only a senior pharmacist would be able to answer his questions.
Those two questions belonged to the scope of advanced pharmacy, and could only be answered by the senior pharmacists. Yet, the young Lin Li who had just been deduced by them to be an intermediate-level pharmacist actually said that he could answer his questions. Wilkinson refused to believe it at all.
Wilkinson almost fell off his chair in shock.
In the world of Anril, not everyone could be called a Master, for it was an honorific and not just a polite term.
I must have seen wrongly. Perhaps this letter is for President Felic’s teacher? Wilkinson dared not believe his eyes. He rubbed them, but realized that there were no changes in the letter at all.
Suppressing the shock within him, Wilkinson continued to look at the rest of the letter, only to get more and more shocked. If it weren’t for the fact that he had already met President Felic, he would have thought that the letter was for an elder who was as senior as Balbo.
However, the truth was that the letter was written to a young mage who had just turned 20 years old. Still, Balbo did not sound like an elder who was speaking to his junior, and it was as if the two were friends instead. Balbo often spoke to his juniors condescendingly. However, he seemed to look up to Felic.
Wilkinson could no longer continue thinking about it, for the shock the letter brought him was indescribable. He thought that that was all. However, he only realized that everything was not over yet when he flipped to the second page of the letter.
What is this!?! Teacher Balbo… is actually seeking help from President Felic?
Was there anything more absurd than this? Wilkinson was about to collapse. Teacher Balbo was not only the President of the Pharmacists Guild, but also a senior pharmacist. No one knew his academic accomplishments better than Wilkinson did. Yet, he was asking President Felic about pharmaceutics with utmost sincerity!
