Chapter 61 Peak Wizard Apprentice, Ian's Decision
Chapter 61 Peak Wizard Apprentice, Ian's Decision
He strode into the potions department.
Ian immediately sensed the change.
The walking wizards all had serious expressions and walked very quickly.
When Ian entered the conference room, he saw Vivian and Doug sitting on either side of the large table in front of him.
When Ian came in, Vivian still had her brows furrowed. Doug glanced at him with a cold look in his eyes.
Ian glanced at the two of them.
His gaze was directed toward the center of the table.
The space that used to be empty.
Sitting there was a handsome man with short blue hair, wearing a gray wizard's robe.
The badge worn on his chest was a bright gold.
Moreover, although the man was just sitting there, the icy aura he exuded made the temperature in the conference room seem to drop several degrees.
"Hyde Verric, a top-tier wizarding apprentice and head of the logistics department."
Ian took a deep breath, as if he could also feel the invisible pressure.
By this time, Victor, Hal, and the others had all arrived, and Ian quietly sat down in the third row.
The people around didn't seem to have any objections.
He even nodded at Ian.
After all, they had all heard that Ian had begun to experiment with the preparation of intermediate-level potions.
It had only been eight or nine months since Ian became a junior apothecary, and he had already mastered six basic potions and four advanced potions.
Regardless, although Ian wanted to keep a low profile at this time, he actually had a certain reputation within the school.
Even if they don't make it into the training program, they'll definitely become an intermediate pharmacist in the future.
Time passed little by little.
Some pharmacists haven't come yet.
"Any wizard who hasn't arrived yet will be punished with six months' worth of magic stones!" The blue-haired wizard Hyde raised his head and spoke calmly.
Vivian and Doug nodded.
hiss!
Ian was taken aback.
That's ruthless!
What exactly happened?
Then, Hyde took out a bottle of black potion and placed it on the table.
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried emotion to everyone's ears:
"Last night, the Blackrock School used this new type of potion, a low-level zero-ring potion, which is highly toxic and caused heavy casualties among the school's wizards. However, conventional antidotes are completely ineffective. Now, I need to mobilize the entire Potions Department to develop an antidote for this poison within seven days."
Poisonous agents?
Ian raised an eyebrow.
Poisonous agents have always been a special category of pharmaceuticals because of their high lethality.
Therefore, the development of antidotes has always been a very important direction for the Potions Department.
However, the results were not very good.
Because the toxicity of a drug can completely change depending on the materials used.
In particular, analyzing its components can sometimes be a huge challenge.
It's only the beginner level of the zero ring, yet with so many intermediate pharmacists and two deputy ministers here, they still give it seven days?
"This poison also contains many useless ingredients. Although they seem useless, they will destroy other ingredients when you try to analyze them. Even a high-level apothecary will have a hard time solving it. It can only be solved by the analysis of a large number of wizards. Therefore, we need to rely on the strength of the entire department to analyze its components."
Hyde spoke again at this moment, his expression more serious than ever before.
It turned out to be the case.
He always said that!
If it's just a basic potion, there's no reason to summon all the department's apothecaries.
"but......"
Ian's expression immediately turned strange.
It seems he does actually have a skill that can be used here.
It's the talent that comes from potion identification; it allows you to identify the ingredients and the components of the potion itself.
Moreover, he also possesses master-level knowledge of antidotes.
It seems that resolving this matter is not difficult for him.
But is it necessary?
Ian fell into thought.
"At this time, the Blackrock School is using this potion extensively, and our wizards sometimes die before they even see the enemy."
Therefore, you have a maximum of seven days. Also, whoever deciphers a material will be rewarded with fifty magic stones. Whoever can solve it directly will receive five hundred magic stones, a zero-ring secret technique, the sect's resources, and my gratitude!
sizzle!
The entire department, from top to bottom, gasped in shock.
This reward is absolutely outrageous.
That's five hundred magic stones!
Even for intermediate pharmacists, it takes more than a year or two to accumulate experience, let alone receive gratitude from the school.
As for the secret techniques!
It belongs to a very special type of witchcraft, but it is almost not divided into levels, but it has a variety of special effects.
Ian also straightened his back instantly.
If he had five hundred magic stones, it would be enough for him to cultivate peacefully for one or two years, and he would also have access to secret techniques.
Meanwhile, putting aside other things.
"Now that this matter is resolved, at least Doug won't dare to mess with the materials anymore."
Ian squinted.
But we'll have to wait until he gets the potion to see.
........
Soon, Hyde left with great efficiency.
Vivian then summoned all her wizards to another conference room.
His face was more serious than ever before.
"Everyone, please give it your all in the time ahead. Once this matter is over, the outcome of the Potions Strategic Support Office will likely be decided. You should all understand what I mean," Vivian said calmly.
Everyone nodded.
If Vivian were to truly take charge of the Potions Strategic Support Department, it would be a tremendous boon for all the wizards under her command.
This department is responsible for transporting all the magical plants and potions to the front lines, and the interests involved are enormous.
Even if they only eat a small bite, it will be enough to save them years of effort!
"That's serious enough."
Ian also pursed his lips.
Clearly, Hyde had already spoken to Vivian about something, otherwise she wouldn't be so certain.
However, if possible, he would like to be involved.
After all, once they come into Hyde's sights...
Even if he wasn't completely removed from the department, Doug would never dare to target him like this.
Because the pinnacle wizard apprentice is the most central figure in the school.
The first tier below Horton Wizard.
It depends on the medication, of course.
Then, Vivian took out more than a dozen bottles of potion and placed them on the table.
Then it was divided into dozens of portions.
One serving per person.
Vivian distributed them to the wizards.
Ian got it quickly too.
I looked down.
The black liquid emitted a foul odor, but when he used his mental power to perceive it carefully, it seemed that he could sense more than that.
[Ingredients: Corrupting mycelium, Dark Moss, Flickering Grass, Ice Marrow Flower, Blood Lizard Blood..........Properties: Mental Disorder, Physical Corrosion.]
[Active ingredient: Mycelium of decaying heartwood... Ineffective ingredient: Ice marrow flower...]
Ian blinked.
It seems he has completely figured it out.
Moreover, both the effective and ineffective components have been fully identified.
