Chapter 227 - Genius Pharmacist
The group of pharmacists had been scolded till they were in a daze…
It was like they had been slapped and did not dare to dodge it.
There was no other way—they could not dodge it.
All of the tens of people present were pharmacists. How could they not know the theory behind the Catalytic Potion? No matter how angry a person was, they knew that what this young mage said was at least ninety percent true.
In other words, if this young mage had not taken any action, there was ninety percent chance that they would have been dead.
Put in a more exaggerated manner, that icicle had saved the whole Pharmacists Guild.
Take a look again at how they’d treated this young mage.
Andoine felt really happy even just thinking about it.
Over these past ten years, he had bought countless recipes from the Pharmacists Guild. Every time he requested for them, all of the pharmacists had eyes growing on top of their heads—except for his old friend, Balbo. Even though he did not say anything, Andoine was very aware that these fellas looked down on his pharmaceutical standards. If he was not wearing a legendary-mage’s hat, he might not even be able to enter the Pharmacists Guild.
Great, the one that slapped your faces is my disciple. See who dares to show me bad attitude when I come again.
“Go…” Balbo smiled. He did not say anything more, and allowed Andoine to hurry along.
When these three people left, the guild pharmaceutical lab seemed to be empty.
The gazes of the pharmacists were all fixed on Balbo. Everybody knew that this incident, on the surface, had been resolved. The Pharmacists Guild’s true approach would have to wait for Balbo to make the final decision.
“Maxim…” After Balbo muttered to himself, he then called the middle-aged pharmacist over again. “Help me go and get Burnside to come over. Tell him that I have something important to ask him.”
“Y-yes.”
“Ai…” After Maxim left, Balbo looked at the broken glass shards again. His eyes could not help but show regret. “Seems like what Burnside told me initially is not Felic’s full potential. If I knew this, I should have clarified further and invited him while representing the Pharmacists Guild when he was still at Jarrosus. Unfortunately, it’s too late now. Such a talent actually came to Alanna. How could Aldwin, that old fox, be willing to let him go? If I did not guess wrongly, I’m afraid the Guild of Magic has long prepared all sorts of methods to keep him…”
“President, are you trying to say that you want to directly invite this Felic into the Pharmacists Guild?” Herman, who was at the side, had a shock. He had been at the Pharmacists Guild for tens of years, and he had never seen President had such a thought before. Even if it was Burnside back then, it only took a few higher-ups to collaborate together and send him an invitation.
But this time, it was President personally sending an invitation.
Could such a difference be described clearly in just one or two sentences?
Once such an invitation was sent out, it could be said that once that Felic entered the Pharmacists Guild, he would automatically receive a rather high position.
“Of course…” Balbo nodded as though he did not even feel how surprising his words were. “Did you not see it just now? The pharmaceutical knowledge this young man exhibited is not something a normal pharmacist’s knowledge can compare to. The recipe of the Catalytic Potion is only known to core members even within the Pharmacists Guild. But among his words, there was not a single shred of difficulty. Think carefully, how many people within the Pharmacists Guild could explain the theory behind the Catalytic Potion with words that are easy to understand?”
“Indeed…” Herman thought about it for a while. In the end he had no choice but to admit that even though he has spent tens of years on the Catalytic Potion, it was an impossible task for him to explain the theory of the Catalytic Potion in a manner that was easy to comprehend just like that young man.
“If I am not mistaken, among the dozens of people present here, none apart from myself can compare to this young man’s pharmaceutical standard. I’m afraid that within the Pharmacists Guild, only Burnside might be better than him.”
Once this was said, Herman was so scared that his face turned white. The worst of all pharmacists present was already nearing the high rank. The strongest would also be near the master rank. Based on what Balbo said, wasn’t this young man already at the master level?
Herman did not dare to believe that this young man’s pharmaceutical standard had already reached such a level. A master pharmacists in twenties. Even Maxim, who was already seventy, did not dare to imagine something like this.
“This is impossible. This is definitely impossible…”
“Herman, nothing is impossible. You have to admit that in this world, there will definitely be people that cannot be measured by common sense. Something that cannot be completed during one’s lifetime can be completed by these people in a matter of minutes. A person like this is called a genius…”
“This…. President Balbo, I really can’t believe it…”
“Forget it, don’t force yourself. Even I am at a loss as to what to do, not to mention that you can’t believe it.” Balbo shook his head, he could not help but show a wry smile. “Let’s wait. Wait till Burnside is here. Hopefully he can give me some good suggestions. I’m afraid a genius pharmacist like this hasn’t appeared in Anril for a thousand years…”
