Chapter 106

"Teacher, the patent right for burning potions does not belong to me." Byron said softly.

"Oh? It doesn't belong to you." The middle-aged black robe frowned.

"Yes, Teacher Gustav." Byron opened his palm and said, "Although the concept of the new potion originated from my thoughts, some problems could not be solved yet, and someone else finally completed it."

"You mean, someone finished this potion before you?"

Gustav said solemnly with a dignified face.

"If that's the case, according to the rules of the Potions Association, you really can't get the patent right for a new type of potion, but I'm very curious, who solved the problem that made you helpless?"

"Astaro? Lilith? Or Stella?"

The several names that Gustav said in succession were all official wizards in the academy who were good at potions. In his opinion, only a knowledgeable official wizard could solve Byron's problems.

"Oh, the completed person is not a wizard." Byron shook his head and chuckled lightly. "He is just a rookie. He hasn't been in school for half a year. I'm afraid he has not even reached the level of apprenticeship."

"Rookie?" Gustav paused, with a hint of surprise on his face.

"His name is Enzo, and he is my experimental assistant." Byron nodded and solemnly said, "From the beginning of cooperating with my experiment, he has shown extremely high potion talent, just to assist the experiment, he noted it down. After the refining process, the ice leaf fruit was added in a flash of inspiration."

"It is precisely because of this that it was finally completed!"

"Are you sure he completed the new type of potion?" Gustav said with a serious face, "I think you should be aware that research on potions often takes time to accumulate. Without a large amount of knowledge, it is impossible Achieved!"

"A newcomer who has been in school for less than half a year, even if he keeps studying, how much knowledge of potions can he master?"

"I have also thought about this issue, but according to Enzo, the reason why he has so much knowledge about potions is because he had already obtained some broken inheritance of wizards before he enrolled in school." Byron's expression remained unchanged and insisted. ": Enzo has been my assistant for a while. From him, I can feel the potion talent no less than mine."

"Oh? No less than your potion talent?" Gustav's eyes flashed, somewhat surprised.

Byron is recognized as a potion genius by the academy. Even if he has a small reputation in the Potions Association, he has four potions patent rights before he is promoted to an official wizard. Such a genius naturally has his own pride.

The recognition by him is enough to prove Enzo's talent!

"So, you are here this time to help him apply for the patent right for the potion?" Gustav said solemnly.

"Yes, mentor." Byron raised his head, looked directly at Gustav, and took a deep breath. "But besides that, there is another thing that the mentor needs to consider."

"What's the matter?" Gustav asked.

"I hope to recommend Enzo to become your disciple." Byron looked serious and solemnly said, "It can be done. It has proven Enzo's talent. I don't think you will refuse a potion genius."

"Do you want me to accept him as a disciple?" Gustav's eyes were slightly surprised, and he asked in confusion. "Why do you want to help him? If it's just a newcomer, there shouldn't be much friendship between you."

"Tutor, I plan to be promoted to a formal wizard!" Byron said solemnly.

"Have you finally decided?" Gustav suddenly stopped, raised his head, and said solemnly, "You must think clearly, once you take that step, no one can guarantee the outcome."

"I have already thought very clearly, mentor." Byron sighed and said, "I have been in the state of a tertiary apprentice for decades. If I can no longer condense the magic crystals, my life will eventually come to an end. The end."

"But...that thing..." Gustav thought of something, his face hesitant.

"This is the reason why I recommend Enzo to you." Byron looked solemn and slowly said: "If I can smoothly gather the magic crystals in the process of being promoted to the official wizard, then everything will work as usual, but in case I fail. Now, someone must take over for me and continue to finish that thing!"

Gustav stared at Byron, but did not speak for a while.

"Hey, if you insist, you can only do this." After a while, Gustav sighed and said, ": Find some time to bring that newcomer. If his potion talent is as you said, I will accept this disciple."

"Thank you mentor." Byron took a step back and bowed.

...

Another month passed quickly.

During this period, Enzo spent most of the time hiding in the room, while refining potions, while familiarizing himself with the abilities of the new witchcraft, and improving his strength as much as possible.

In one afternoon, the newcomers ushered in the first batch of mandatory tasks.

"Compulsory task: Investigate the death of a large number of people in Snowhoof City, task reward: 20 magic stones, task leader: Enzo."

Under the bulletin board of the task office, Enzo saw the mandatory task assigned to him by the academy.

"Is it just an investigation task? It doesn't seem to be very difficult." Enzo frowned in confusion.

As far as he knows, mandatory tasks have always been the tradition of the academy. In order to allow newcomers to take responsibility while tempering them, the tasks assigned are often difficult and dangerous, which can be regarded as a test of the academy for newcomers.

However, the task that Enzo received was a little strange. It turned out to be just for him to investigate the disappearance of people in the kingdom of the dead. It was really difficult and dangerous.

"Oh my God! Crusade against the fallen wizard hiding in the Bethel Mountains?"

There was a wailing in his ears, and Enzo looked around and saw that Qiaora had an ugly expression and looked like a dead father.

"What a joke, I am a small first-level apprentice, how can I receive this kind of assignment?" Qiao La's face was pale, and she was dumbfounded. "Could it be that the academy has made a mistake?"

"That's right, we received this mission." On the side, Byrne nodded in a deep voice, and said, "A total of five people received the crusade mission, and the fallen wizard in the Bells Mountains is said to be just a condensed magic crystallization failure The five of us should be able to deal with the third-level apprentices."

"That's too difficult..." Jora made a moaning sound.

"No way, mandatory tasks have a certain degree of difficulty." Byrne shook his head and said, "After all, the nature of mandatory tasks is a test for newcomers by the academy. If the task process is not dangerous, then it will be lost. Meaning!"
