Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 382

Chapter 380 Alicia’s Gift

In the evening, Locke and Claudia returned to their residence in the White Elephant Tower. Wizard Anthony arranged a very luxurious suite for Locke in the White Elephant Tower. The suite was very large and was considered to be in good condition even in the White Elephant Tower.

At the same time, in the corridor outside the suite, an official wizard of the Plutarch family ordered four first-class wizard apprentices to move three large wooden boxes to the front of Locke’s suite room.

The official wizard bowed slightly to Locke. “Mr. Augustine, this is a gift from Miss Alicia as a reward for your discussion of potions with her.”

“Look, here’s the list.”

“No problem, I’m leaving.”

Locke raised his eyebrows and took a look at the list. He found that the three large boxes contained some potion materials. Some were common, while others were rare, but they were all matched together, which was very convenient for potion masters to practice with.

Secondly, there are five free rare potion recipes inside these three large wooden boxes, namely [Mist Potion], [Youth Potion] and [Flame Rage Potion], as well as two Abyss potions – Abyss Worm Advanced Potion and Tanar’ri’s Hand Potion.

Below the list, there were some words Alicia had written to him – ‘Earlier on the airship, I heard Wizard Augustine say that you needed more first-ring potion formulas and some potion materials for practice, so I sorted out some of my unused potion materials and gave them to you.’

“As a trade, you need to continue discussing potions with me using stationery.”

Locke looked at the letter and frowned slightly. He said to Claudia, “This is a gift from a friend of mine. Please accept it first.”

The Mist Potion, Youth Potion and Fire Fury Potion were all very rare recipes. They didn’t seem to be common goods, but rather a private collection of potion recipes somewhere.

According to the brief description on the list, wizards who take the atomization potion can make their bodies atomized for a short period of 10 seconds. It can play an unexpected role when used in battle or for research and learning.

The youth potion, on the other hand, can keep a wizard forever young after taking it. Although it cannot increase lifespan or change the aging nature of a wizard’s soul, it can at least keep the wizard young in appearance.

The Fire Fury Potion is a potion similar to explosives. It uses five different magical flames to ignite in a tube of potion. Once thrown out and detonated, it will produce a fire spell with the power equivalent to that of a wizard in the fire magic sub-direction of the first-ring wizard evocation school.

The power is very good.

The Abyss Worm Potion and the Hand of Tanar’ri Potion are both relatively basic Abyss potions, and are still at the first-ring level. They are just a little simpler than the Powder of Mammon. However, Locke can further improve his accumulation of Abyss alchemy by learning these two potions.

Originally, the recipe for Abyss Potion was relatively rare, and the materials were difficult to assemble.

Locke asked Claudia to move the three large boxes into his room.

Five minutes later, Claudia looked at the potion ingredients within the three opened wooden boxes and marveled. “Master Augustine, whoever gave you these ingredients was truly kind to you. The total weight of these three boxes is almost 150,000 magic stones, right? While each ingredient isn’t particularly valuable, the quantity is substantial.”

“It was sent by a wizard from the Plutarch family. The identity of your friend is…”

Locke glanced at her, and the blood elf wizard immediately bowed gracefully to Locke, “I’m sorry, Lord Augustine, I’ve said too much.”

Locke frowned and took out a half-broken piece of paper from his Star Ring. He wrote on it, “Alicia, I received your things, but I’m afraid I can’t accept them. I don’t accept gifts without merit. You gave me so many materials. Does your family know about it?”

‘I want to send it back to you.’

Soon, the words on the letter disappeared, which meant that the words on the letter had been transmitted to the piece of letter in the other party’s hand. This was based on the principle of long-distance magical information transmission of the school of spells.

Soon, he wrote on the piece of paper, “Please don’t send it back to me. These are all potion materials that I really can’t use up. It’s a pity to leave them gathering dust in my house. In your hands, they can bring out their value.”

“If you insist on abiding by the wizard’s principle of equal exchange, that’s fine. Dear Locke, this will prove that you are a real wizard. Then, you can send half of the potion you brewed back to me, which can be regarded as me entrusting you to brew the potion.”

Locke saw this scene and thought about it. This was not bad for him. He could get so many rare formulas and potion materials for free to practice. He only needed to use half of the successful configuration to get the job done. This was not a bad idea for him.

Locke could only write on the letter paper, “Okay, I will make the thing and give it to you within three months.”

A line of words quickly appeared on the letter paper. “Don’t worry. Dear Locke, the first-level archaeology inheritance you mentioned on the airship, even if I used my rights as an heir to the Plutarch family, I couldn’t buy the archaeologist’s inheritance at the moment. But don’t worry, I have some information. If I get it, perhaps you can buy the first-level archaeology inheritance from me.”

“There are many archaeological wizards in the Six Towers who hide their identities and come here to study and excavate ancient biological fossils and ancient plant minerals hidden in the mineral veins. Therefore, my chances of finding them should be greater than yours.”

Locke put the letter away, a look of surprise on his face. “That’s strange! Although Alicia and I have a good relationship, there’s no need for her to help me this much. But since it doesn’t violate the principle of equal exchange, and it’s a deal that’s truly beneficial to me, I have no reason to refuse.”

…

Inside Dragon Tower No. 2, at an altitude of 25km, in the Plutarch family’s living quarters, Alicia said to the old wizard in the liquefied stage beside her, “Old Butler, this way, I can keep in regular contact with Locke and discuss potions with him from time to time. Right?”

The old butler of the Plutarch family carefully observed Alicia’s expression. After confirming that Alicia seemed to be simply looking for a fellow practitioner in the field of Potions, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Miss Alicia is the future head of the family. You are free to do whatever you wish. So far, everything has been in accordance with our family’s procedures. After all, your brothers and sisters and their mistresses waste countless resources every day. The resources you have given to your friends are far less than one-tenth of that.”

“Furthermore, your recent magical power increase has been astonishingly fast, and it seems to be related to that wizard. We are all happy to see this, as it proves that you are suited to becoming a blood refiner of the School of Spells, rather than a potion maker of the School of Life.”

“As for you wanting to chat with an ordinary wizard in your free time, that is perfectly normal.”
