More and more alchemists gathered in front of display cabinet No. 51. It was not known whether it was due to people's curiosity or the alchemical results displayed there were too tempting. Anyway, many wizards saw that there were many people over there and gathered there, curious about what alchemical results were displayed there that attracted so many alchemists to gather there to watch.
The wizards who gathered around soon joined in the discussion on the possibility of using mandrake roots to brew wine. Using mandrake roots to brew potions is very common, but using it to brew wine is unheard of. And does the wine brewed with mandrake roots really have the effects described on the parchment
This can't be a bluff.
If mandrake brew really works, it will have a strong appeal to a large number of wizards.
Of course, it could also be fake. Mandrake cannot be used to make wine, and the wine in the display cabinet does not have the effects depicted on the parchment. The possibility is very high.
Discussion of the Mandrake wine quickly became polarized, with more people believing that the bottle of wine was fake, while some alchemists who knew Serra and Albert believed it was authentic.
"Let's all go, this is a fake."
Many alchemists think this is not a good thing, because similar things happen at every International Alchemy Congress, and they believe that those fake things should be banned from display cabinets.
"Does anyone know who Albert Anderson is? I feel like the name sounds familiar." Someone saw the person displaying the work, frowned slightly, and asked an acquaintance around him.
"Don't you guys usually read newspapers?" Claude said sarcastically, "How could you not recognize such a famous genius and think that what he showed was fake?"
Claude was also an old friend of Sera. He had once met Albert at an alchemy gathering and was well aware of the boy's abilities.
However, the reason why he spoke in such a sarcastic tone was because Sera had shown off to him not long ago. He finally had the chance to tease his old rival and was in a very good mood.
As for whether something is fake
Claude didn't think Sera would be so unreliable. What's more, Albert was a genius with countless halos on his head. There was no need for him to ruin his reputation, and he would never do that.
"Others are planning to participate in the competition to win the Pioneering Contribution Gold Award, so how can the product be fake?"
"real?"
"You should read more newspapers." Claude shook his head. "People like that are very proud and don't bother to lie to you."
"Okay, Claude, there's no need to be so sarcastic." Adolf shook his head and smiled bitterly, explaining to others, "We knew Mr. Albert a few years ago. At that time, he was still very young and had already shown extraordinary talent in alchemy.
"You mean that bottle of wine is real?"
Many wizards raised their eyebrows in thought, and no one knew what they were thinking.
However, Adolf has a good reputation, so if he says that, he must know something.
"Albert Anderson is the winner of the Barnabus Finkley Gold Medal for Excellent Spellcasting Techniques a while ago. He has won several world-class championships. Why would he make a fake one to fool you? Are you worthy of it?" Claude felt refreshed after scolding this group of people.
After hearing what Claude said, many wizards looked a little unnatural.
However, some people finally remembered why the name looked familiar. However, they soon became excited because Claude said that Mr. Anderson planned to participate in the competition and win the title of world champion again.
This means that the opportunity has come. They actually know what the International Alchemy Conference is about.
As long as you have enough gold coins, you will have a chance to buy the recipe for Mandrake Wine from the Alchemy Research Center.
As if to verify the truth of this statement, several staff members from the Alchemy Research Center came over here, intending to review and accept Albert's research results.
The people around began to whisper, and a few even left in a hurry, as if they wanted to find someone, but more wizards stayed where they were, waiting for the review results.
Of course, there were many people who thought Albert was a fool.
Yes, in their eyes, what else could Albert be but a fool
Doesn't Mr. Anderson know that participating in the International Alchemy Conference means giving the formula away to others
The main reason why the Alchemy Research Center is willing to offer this bonus is that it wants to get some alchemical results from other alchemists.
Is two thousand Galleons too much
Not much, not much at all!
After all, they get not only award-winning alchemical results, but also those that did not win awards. They can then use them for research and improvement, and then secretly sell the technology, which will allow them to easily recover their costs. Most of the time, they can even get it for free, because the Pioneering Contribution Gold Award is only awarded to alchemists with outstanding alchemical results.
As for patent protection, everyone knows that it is a joke.
This is also the reason why many alchemists are only willing to display their alchemical results but are unwilling to take them to participate in competitions.
However, just as a few onlookers were considering how much money they would have to spend to acquire the winemaking technology, they spotted a staff member taking out the flying ointment next to the bottle of wine from the display case.
That's right, what he took out was a small box of flying ointment, not the bottle of mandrake wine.
"puff!"
I don't know who finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"why are you laughing?"
"Many people think Anderson is a fool. Who is the fool now? It's really interesting." Not only Claude, but even Adolf was looking at his colleagues around him with interest, thinking that they were too stupid.
Do you really think others are fools
But he doesn't know that he is the real fool.
Adolf's attention shifted back to the chair that had floated up after being coated with the flight ointment. He couldn't help but sigh, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Gold Award for Pioneering Contribution should go to him."
Although you may not find a use for it right now, this technique is undoubtedly valuable.
"Maybe the bottle of wine was fake, so that guy didn't dare to use it to participate in the competition." Someone muttered in a low voice.
However, he was soon met with a lot of contemptuous looks, and others even kept away from him involuntarily, for fear of being infected by the idiot.
In fact, they wanted to find out the specific effects of Mandrake wine. If it was really effective, they could cooperate with Albert. As an alchemist, they naturally had no shortage of sales channels.
No one can resist money, and such a genius is worth getting to know.
It was not easy to find Albert in the exhibition hall. There were too many people here, and the sound of chattering was everywhere. God knew where Albert was.
