After all, you have to spend money to buy things, and Benjamin has to confirm the effectiveness of the things.
Therefore, after looking at it twice, he suddenly spoke and asked: "Can you demonstrate how to use it? I have never come into contact with such a tool before, please excuse me."
The man frowned and looked embarrassed: "But... I don't have any materials here anymore?"
Hearing this, Benjamin was a little surprised. He looked around the entire room, and upon closer inspection, he felt a subtle sense of desolation. There was basically no intact furniture in sight.
How could a good potion mage end up like this
Out of the idea that we might be able to make friends, he hesitated and asked, "I'm sorry, I don't mean any harm, but... have you encountered any difficulties?"
The man was stunned and silent for a moment, but he still shook his head: "I... it's nothing. Let me explain this tool to you a little bit, and you will understand that I am not lying to you."
Seeing this, Benjamin couldn’t ask any more questions, so he smiled and said, “Okay, then you can tell me.”
The strange mage nodded, put the instrument on the table, pointed at the round glass container, and said slowly: "This is a furnace made with the help of some magic prop refining techniques. This glass is not ordinary glass. It can stabilize elements and avoid failure caused by out-of-control elements. The groove underneath has a certain fire element affinity bonus. After refueling, it can release high-temperature and concentrated flames... "
While listening to the other party's explanation, Benjamin carefully observed the container, and gradually discovered a faint magical aura emanating from it.
He was also a little surprised.
Isn’t the production of magic props almost monopolized by the church and not very popular here? Such a tool for refining potions actually uses this technique. What does this mean
Therefore, after listening to the introduction, Benjamin asked again: "Where did you buy this thing?"
The strange mage hesitated for a moment and said, "It's... something my teacher left me. It's a very old thing. I don't know who made it."
Benjamin was stunned.
No...
Now, what appeared in front of him was a down-and-out mage who didn't even have the materials to make medicine. In desperation, he only had to betray his most precious meal, and then the meal would be left to him by his teacher. of.
Benjamin was a little embarrassed to do this transaction.
"This thing is too expensive, so I won't buy it." After thinking about it, he said instead, "Well, do you have a magic potion formula or a related book? As long as you are willing to sell it, I am willing to buy it. You’d better keep this thing.”
The strange mage also showed a shocked expression.
"I... don't have a book." He said hesitantly, "My teacher taught me how to practice. There is no such thing as a formula."
Benjamin shrugged and said, "Then why don't you just write down the recipe?"
The mage frowned: "That will take a long time to write."
Hearing this, Benjamin was not surprised but happy.
It takes a long time to write. Doesn’t that mean that he knows a lot of recipes in his mind, so it takes a lot of time to write them out
At this moment, Benjamin felt that he had made a lot of money.
"It doesn't matter, you just write it." He took out a bag of gold coins and put it on the table, "These fifty gold coins are regarded as a deposit. You write it first, and I will come to you in the afternoon to ask for it. Start with a simple recipe. , I want those entry-level potions first, and then we’ll talk about the rest. How about it?"
The mage looked at the bag of gold coins on the table and was stunned for a while. Suddenly, he came back to his senses and nodded vigorously.
"Thank you..." He slowly picked up the globe-like object and carefully put it into the box. Then he looked at Benjamin gratefully and said, "Just call me Allen."
Benjamin also smiled and nodded.
In this way, Allen accepted the deposit and began to prepare the formula to sell to Benjamin. Although Benjamin failed to buy better alchemy tools, he unexpectedly gained a more precious potion formula and a mage's connections.
For him, this is definitely a huge profit.
Of course, seeing the other party's desolate look, Benjamin also thought about whether to invite the other party to join. However, looking at Allen's look, it was clear that he would definitely not agree. They had just met and didn't understand each other, so it would be too abrupt to make such an invitation.
After leaving Allen's house, Benjamin also went to the blacksmith shop and ordered an iron pot so that the two potion mages in the team could use it together instead of just grabbing one pot.
Afterwards, he returned to his new home.
Seeing the large house that was well taken care of by the mages, Benjamin nodded happily.
The matter was almost settled, and finally, he could take a breath and take a good rest.
So he went back to his room and began his meditation sessions.
After lunch, he ran to find Allen again. Unexpectedly, Allen wrote down almost all the entry-level potion formulas for him: elementary magic amplification potion, elementary strength potion, elementary endurance potion, elementary fire resistance potion, elementary shrinking potion... Benjamin was a little surprised to find that Allen just It's like a potion encyclopedia, with countless recipes.
Benjamin couldn't help but sigh, knowing so many things, how could he be reduced to this situation
Buying these formulas cost almost all of Benjamin's cash, and the prices offered were still relatively cheap for Benjamin. He looked at his rapidly drying up pocket and thought with some pain that cultivating a team of mage was really a costly affair.
However, he also believes that the profits these formulas can bring to them will definitely be more.
"That's it for now. There's no need to write down other recipes. I'll come back to you if necessary." Nailing the expensive papers in his hands together, Benjamin patted Allen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "If you encounter If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me and I will definitely help if conditions permit."
Allen looked at the mountain of gold coins piled on the table with a dull look on his face, but he still nodded.
In this way, after leaving Allen the address of his new home, Benjamin returned home with a lot of harvest.
In the specially arranged alchemy, he called two pharmacy mages, Andy and Hannah, over and handed the thick stack of paper to them.
"This is..." The two looked at him with some confusion.
"Take the potion formula you want." Benjamin smiled, "Study hard and don't let my wallet down. Once we learn them, we can all open a shop of our own."
Suddenly, the two looked at each other with expressions of unusual surprise.
"Thank you, Teacher Benjamin!" They held the pile of papers with messy handwriting in their hands, their eyes shining, as if the candidates had received their own admission notices.
