The wizard starts with the get inspiration panel

Chapter 196 Thick Scale Potion
"Compare to what? Or how to compare?" Richard's response seemed a bit belated.

Obviously, if he didn't agree, it would be very difficult for Alhan, and it would also make it impossible for Dissol to step down.

What's more important is that his entry into the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood is likely to be disrupted.

Even if he can successfully join the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood after a while, after things calm down for a while, his reputation will probably be bad by then.

This is something Richard will never tolerate!

Moreover, since the opponent wants to step on you and get the upper hand, they should be prepared to fail and bleed a lot!

Richard, who has experienced a series of conspiracies and battles, big and small, is no longer the clerk he was when he first crossed over. The scene in front of him is no longer just a small scene for him.

"Hey, I actually agreed." The fish-man wizard apprentice was a little surprised that the overly young "Levi" in front of him actually dared to agree.

The next second, he immediately became happy and continued:

"Naturally, it's just like the production of potions. The finished potions are made according to the fixed alchemy potion formula. There are so many intermediate and advanced alchemists on site, so everyone's eyes are naturally sharp, and they can tell who has more advanced skills."

"I understand, you mean to use the quality of the finished medicine as the criterion." Richard nodded.

Just when he was about to express his agreement, a hoarse and somewhat old voice sounded from behind the crowd.

"Hey! Why is the alchemy examination hall so busy today?"

Everyone looked back and saw an old lizard man walking in with a red staff as tall as a person. The top of the staff was inlaid with a fist-sized flame gem.

"This is terrible! It's Naseeruddin, he will definitely use the topic to his advantage!" Alhan's face changed and he murmured.

It was obvious that he was very familiar with the visitor, and that he was not a good person.

"Hey, this is what you mentioned before, the deputy minister of your alchemy department, Naseeruddin, who has been coveting the position of minister of the alchemy department?" Dissol seemed to have remembered something.

His good friend Alhaan is also the deputy minister of the Alchemy Department of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood, and the minister is concurrently served by a vice-president who has reached the second-level Grand Wizard. This is also the routine operation of the powerful department within the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood. .

He also heard his old friend complain more than once that Naseeruddin and he had different views on many things.

Although the words were very reserved, people of this age and status are all human beings. Obviously, the other party's goal is to have the right to speak.

Since the vice president, who is also the minister, is usually busy with other affairs, he does not pay close attention to the work of the Alchemy Department. He relies more on Alham and Naseeruddin to maintain the management of the daily affairs of the Alchemy Department.

This time, the other party suddenly jumped out, apparently thinking that this was an opportunity to use this matter to weaken Alhan's prestige.

It is conceivable that if this matter is not handled properly, it will inevitably affect his old friend Alhaan.

This actually made Dissol's face become serious. This matter seems to be getting bigger and bigger!

"Oh, someone tell me what happened."

Richard just took a glance and saw the cunning flash in the eyes of the old lizard man.

In an instant, he understood that the other party must know what happened here. He was pretending not to know what was going on here, maybe he had another purpose.

And I have no relatives in Tuge City or the gray dwarf brotherhood, so there is a high probability that this guy is not coming for me. To be precise, he is probably coming for Dissol or Alhan.

At this time, Disol sent a message and quietly described the story of Naseeruddin and Alhaan to Richard briefly.

Richard nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Sure enough, wherever there are people there are fights!Gray dwarves are humans too, so naturally they are no exception.

After such a delay, Naseeruddin seemed to have learned the details of the incident from the onlookers' alchemists. With a look of sudden realization, he looked at Richard up and down and said:
"Hello, young human wizard, I didn't expect you to be a master of alchemy. It's really rare."

"However, it is understandable that everyone has some doubts about you being able to become a master alchemist at such a young age, isn't it?"

Looking at the kind-hearted look on the other side, it would have been obvious if Richard hadn't already learned about the bad relationship between the other side and Alhan from Disol.

It is estimated that I will be deceived by the other party's appearance, making me mistakenly think that the other party is a respectable elder. This time I question myself for the sake of fairness and justice. In the end, maybe I will admire the other party. Be impartial and impartial.

What a cunning old fox!
"Yes, so I plan to accept the challenge from the prophet of the Tokal Lake fishman tribe." Richard said calmly.

Richard's unequivocal words made Naseeruddin's eyes flash with joy, and he said: "Haha, you are indeed a young man, full of confidence, so let me be the judge for you two."

Richard instantly sensed the other party's intention and thought to himself, "So you are waiting for me here. If you are appointed as the referee, you can still find fault even if you win, right?"

"If I lose, not to mention, the other party can directly use this matter to attack Alhan's reputation. Although it may not necessarily allow Alhan to be transferred, it will definitely make the other party gain greater ground in the Alchemy Department. the right to speak.”

Obviously, it was impossible for Richard to let the other party succeed.

"Oh~ Are you a master of alchemy?" Richard said with a half-smile.

"Not bad!" Naseeruddin said proudly.

"Excuse me, at what age did you become a master of alchemy?" Richard continued to ask.

"98 years old!" Although Naseeruddin did not understand Richard's intention, he quickly answered Richard's question.

"Hiss! This age is considered young among alchemist masters, right?" An alchemist turned to ask the companion next to him.

"Of course, if you don't look at Lord Naseeruddin's race, lizardmen can become master alchemists in 98, Lord Naseeruddin seems to be the first."

A group of mid- to high-level alchemists around him whispered.

Naseeruddin is quite proud of the fact that he was promoted to the master of alchemy at the age of 98, especially as a lizardman. Being able to become the master of alchemy at the age of 98 is already the first thing that has been achieved in the history of the green-skinned lizardman tribe for thousands of years. top talent.

"Excuse me, sir, I was already a master alchemist at the age of 25, but you only became a master alchemist at the age of 98, and you are only a master alchemist now. Are you qualified to be my judge?"

Richard asked bluntly.

Moreover, Richard deliberately lied about his age and added ten years to it. After all, 15 years old is too scary.

But being 25 is scary, okay?

When Richard revealed his age, everyone around him was in an uproar!
"25 years old. Master of alchemy!"

"Is this a monster?"

"I can guarantee that the other party is definitely not an alchemist master!"

"It's hard to say, the other person's confidence doesn't look like he's fake."

"You!!" Naseeruddin no longer looked like the amiable old man he had just been. Now he stared at Richard angrily and said, "Sharp-tongued human being! You should learn how to respect an elder!! "

Richard smiled slightly and said: "We humans have a saying that the master is the teacher, which means that the one who has the highest skill is the teacher."

This made Naseeruddin speechless for a while!
Although Naseeruddin has never heard what Richard said from his human friends, there is no problem with this truth.

In the field of alchemy, whoever has the most superb skills is the most powerful!
If the most skilled person is willing to guide others, who wouldn't be grateful and respect him like a teacher?
The exchange of words between Richard and Naseeruddin made Alham and Disol happy. Their originally serious faces also showed smiles at this moment.

Especially Alhan, he admired the Lord Li Wei in front of him even more. With just a few words, he could actually make the old fox Naseeruddin cringe.

It made him quite relieved!

At this time, because Richard rejected Naseeruddin's suggestion to act as a judge, the scene was suddenly a little awkward. The fish-man wizard apprentice seemed to be urged by the fish-man prophet and stepped forward and said:
"Your Excellency Levi, let's put aside the matter of the magistrate for now. Let's talk about the content of the competition first."

"Just now, Mr. Alhan and Mr. Disor both decided that Mr. Levi is a master of alchemy and an alchemist worthy of the mithril treatment given by the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood. However, we, the murlocs of Lake Tokar, are located in a remote place. Lord Prophet is only a senior alchemist, and the medicines he is good at are mainly fish-man medicine formulas." "So, if there is a competition, you will naturally need to increase the difficulty a little bit."

When Richard heard this, he thought, good guy, he is waiting here to jump into the trap.

However, you can first listen to the other party's intentions. If it is very unfavorable to you, it is still too late to put forward other opinions.

"Oh, how do you increase the difficulty?" Richard said with a half-smile.

"So, this competition will focus on the fish-man alchemy formula to make thick scale potion, how about it?"

"Our Lord Prophet is only a senior alchemist. If the potion that Mr. Levi finally produces is of higher quality than our Lord Prophet, he is undoubtedly a master of alchemy!"

Naturally, the cunning in the other party's eyes could not be hidden from Richard.

However, the content of the competition proposed by the other party almost made Richard laugh out loud.

Thick scale potion? When he heard the name of the formula, Richard couldn't believe it.

You must know that this thick scale potion is also included in the "Blind Clan Potion Making Manual". The handbook records a total of eleven potion recipes, seven of which are only effective for fishmen.

At that time, in order to increase the enthusiasm of the murlocs to help search for monsters, I had already raised them to the extreme level, so I was absolutely sure of winning!
It was right to think about it, the other party would never have imagined that he was actually better at fish-man alchemy than them!
"This is unfair! As a human alchemist, Mr. Levi may have never had any contact with your fish-men's potions before. If you have to choose, you must also choose the gray dwarf's potion formula!" Dissol immediately jumped out and shouted loudly. road.

"But Mr. Levi is a master of alchemy. A master of alchemy can quickly produce some elementary and intermediate potion formulas after just a few attempts, so this has never been an obstacle to the master of alchemy." The fishman wizard apprentice said on the side He said, turning around to seek opinions from everyone around him.

"Indeed, if you are a genuine alchemist master, you do have this ability." An alchemist said.

"Yes."

The words of the fish-man wizard apprentice were quickly echoed by the surrounding alchemists who were waiting for the assessment.

There may be a small number of alchemists who do take matters into their own hands, but many alchemists are more uncomfortable with it. Richard understands that this is caused by the hatred of the rich.

After all, whether they want to join the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood or want to improve their treatment, they need to take assessments again and again.

And I took the special recruitment channel, which can be said to be a step to the sky. Moreover, I directly received mithril-level treatment, which for most alchemists, it is likely that they will not be able to achieve it in their lifetime.

It’s normal for them to be jealous!

but
In order to maximize interests, Richard naturally could not agree easily.

"Okay, but I have a question. If I lose, I will naturally take part in the assessment with everyone, but what if I win? The majesty of the alchemist master cannot be offended. You fishmen of Lake Tokar will pay for my offense. Are you prepared to pay the price?"

"This." The fish-man wizard apprentice was speechless. It had never considered that its fish-man prophet would lose.

That's right, in this world, especially in the Dark Region, no one can easily offend a strong person without paying any price.

"Of course, the strong are not to be offended. If Mr. Li Wei wins, our Lake Tokar fishman tribe is willing to give you ten high-level magic stones as compensation." At this time, the trembling fishman prophet stood sonorously and powerfully. Come out, he said.

The strong fishman apprentice looked at his fishman prophet with a surprised look on his face. Do you want to bet so big?
The surrounding alchemists couldn't help but whisper again, why the bet is so big!

You must know that this is not an intermediate magic stone, but a high-level magic stone, and its purchasing power is extraordinary.

Richard felt happy and said to himself, "This is what I've been waiting for."

"Okay!" Richard nodded and agreed to the conditions of the Tokal Lake fishman prophet.

"However, I still have a question. Regarding the referee of the competition, just like the duel between official wizards, it cannot be decided by a wizard apprentice." Richard said calmly, while looking at Na Na with disdain. Saruddin.

"This" fishman prophet found that he was really unable to refute this.

"Your Excellency Levi, you can rest assured on this. Alhan and I are going to invite the chief alchemist of our alchemy department, the master of alchemy, Mr. Marshall McLean. Alhan, is that okay?" Naseeruddin said.

In his eyes, this was just a poor excuse for Richard not to want to compete.

Regarding Naseeruddin's words, Alhan nodded after thinking for a while. Alhan believed that his long-time friend Disol would not cheat him!

And Richard's calm face also gave him a lot of confidence.

"Hiss!" The people around him took a breath of cold air. This is the master of alchemy!

There are only a handful of them in the entire gray dwarf empire!
It seems that in Tuge City, apart from Mr. Marshall McLean, he is the only alchemist master with a transcendent status. It is natural for him to be the judge.

Everyone is convinced!
After a while, an old gray dwarf with white hair and beard was invited into the hall, accompanied by Naseeruddin and Alhan.

"Your Excellency Levi, it seems that I would like to trouble you to show off your superb alchemy skills." Alhan said with a smile.

Richard instantly understood that Alhan should be worried about whether he could win at this time.

"Your Excellency Alhan, please rest assured." Richard said.

Thick Scale Potion is an intermediate potion, but the links are relatively delicate and complex. The effect after taking it is to quickly secrete a thick mucus in the gaps between the fish scales on the surface of the fish's body, which is very elastic like cutin and has very good effects. Defense.

But it is an intermediate potion that is only effective for fishmen. Therefore, many alchemists of other races would not consider learning it at all, let alone mastering it.

The old fishman prophet did not believe that the young "Master Levi" in front of him could also skillfully make this kind of potion that was only effective for fishmen.

Secondly, the old fishman prophet is quite confident that he is a senior pharmacist and has decades of experience in making thick scale potions. Even if the other party is really a potion master, he may not lose.

In this case, I will naturally become famous, and I may be able to propose it, and also enjoy the Mithril-level treatment of the Brotherhood!
At this time, everyone who had obtained the thick scale potion formula began to discuss.

"Hiss! This is extremely difficult!"

"Didn't you say it was an intermediate potion? Why is it so difficult!"

The middle and high-level alchemists who had received the formula couldn't help but take a breath as they looked at the steps and precautions.

Dissol and Alhan also looked at the thick scale potion formula in their hands with shocked faces at this time, and sighed. Now they couldn't stop it even if they wanted to.

Because, Richard and the fish-man prophet have already stood on the alchemy experimental platform.

At this moment, the competition has begun!

I saw the fishman prophet extremely skillfully starting to grind the raw material iron spine flower.
Richard followed the same steps!

But what is shocking is that Richard is actually faster and more skillful than the fish-man prophet at this time!
"What! How could it be so fast?" The fish-man apprentice's eyes, which were originally bulging, almost jumped out of their sockets. He couldn't help but look at Richard's gestures that were so fast that he could see the afterimage. blurt out.

"How is this possible? There is absolutely no way that this Levi has just come into contact with this potion. The other party has definitely come into contact with and even practiced this potion in advance!!" The fish-man prophet looked at Li Chafei with an unbelievable expression on his face while making thick thick sheets. Scale potion.

Because the precipitation and mixing reaction time of pharmaceutical raw materials have fixed time limits, these cannot reduce the time consumption due to the increase in movement proficiency.

But Richard chose not only the best order, but also streamlined some places!

You must know that there are several adjustments to the sequence of steps, which are the best steps that the fishman prophet discovered after decades of exploration.

But Richard used it easily!

Naseeruddin on the side also looked at Richard with a serious face and thought to himself, "Is this an accident? Or does this young man really have the strength of an alchemist master?"

"If it is an accident, the Tokal Lake fishman prophet is really unlucky this time. He chose a formula that the other party has already mastered! It seems that I have to find a way to help the other party, otherwise"
