Abe the Wizard

Master Alfred twisted open the bottle and sniffed. He looked dreamy, and he quickly poured it down his mouth.

Abel stood stared at him drunk in bliss for 10 minutes straight. Just when Abel was feeling a little bored, he suddenly woke up again.

“Master Bennett, you must be kidding!’ A flash of excitement emerged on Master Alfred’s face.

“Is there a problem?” Abel asked in confusion.

“No, there is nothing wrong with it. It’s amazing. It had directly shocked my brain and energized my power of the will!’ Master Alfred quickly shook his head.

Abel suddenly remembered. These blue howling rabbit flavored hunger potions were made for himself and his contracted beasts to use, so he did not dilute the blue howling rabbit flavour.

Even the diluted one was used in dishes that could affect a powerful wizard’s power of the will, let alone an undiluted one.

“Master Bennett, can you sell these hunger potions?” Master Alfred asked with excitement.

An energetic power of the will would not be too much to normal elves, but not an alchemist. An energetic power of the will could speed up their thoughts. When making a potion, this could increase the success rate.

Don’t underestimate the increase in success rate. To an alchemist, especially a master alchemist, making advanced potions was not easy. The most difficult part was to find the right ingredients since they were all scarce.

The increase in success rate could limit the chance of these rare ingredients going to waste. Even a master alchemist might not have many opportunities to make advanced potions in their lifetime. If they could save on those valuable ingredients, they would have more opportunities.

“Master Alfred. I’ve added some extremely rare ingredients to this hunger potion. I only have enough for personal use. I’m very sorry!” Abel hesitated and rejected.

The reason was simple. He did not have full control over the power of these undiluted rabbits’ essence. He didn’t know what effect it would have if he made it public.

“Master Bennett, have you heard of the dragon blood wall breaking potion?” Master Alfred was desperate for Abel’s hunger potion. He was on a big alchemy project, and Abel’s potion could increase his success rate, so he did not hold back.

“A dragon blood wall breaking potion!’ Abel heard about it, but he didn’t know about its effect. It was the best thing to help a warrior break through a bottleneck.

“Yes, the dragon blood wall breaking potion made by the blood of a dragon beast can double the success rate of a beginner warrior becoming an intermediate warrior!

If you use the blood of a pseudodragon, you can double the success rate of an intermediate warrior becoming an elite warrior!

If you use the blood of a giant dragon, it can double the success rate of an elite warrior becoming a top-level warrior!” Master Alfred lowered his voice.

Abel knew elven warriors were different from humans. The elves looked weak due to their small bodies, but their attributes were much stronger than humans.

Normal elven warriors just needed to develop their combat qi successfully, and they would automatically become a beginner warrior. This was equal to the power of an intermediate human knight. For an intermediate elven warrior, their power was equal to an elite knight. Elite elven warriors equaled to commanders, and top-level warriors equaled to head commanders.

The dragon blood wall breaking potions could target warriors of each level. As long as one was powerful enough, they would have a decent chance of success.

It was a powerful potion, but people had only heard about it. No one had seen the real thing. Therefore, its formula was a precious thing to an alchemist.

Master Alfred took out the formula. He heard Abel was an archer, so he might want the formula for this dragon blood wall breaking potion. Still, he was not confident.

Abel felt his heart tingle. With this potion formula, he would be able to cultivate a lot more top-level warriors for his duchy, who was head commander in human terms.

“Master Alfred, I’m interested, but I don’t have much of those hunger potion on me!” Abel began to exaggerate the importance of his own potions.

Master Alfred couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He had carelessly skipped lunch and taken out a hunger potion instead. How valuable could it be?

However, Master Alfred knew only Abel’s hunger potion had that special effect. Since he was the one begging Abel, he just had to take his words for it.

“Master Bennett, I don’t need much. Just 5 bottles!” Master Alfred calculated the time he needed for training and said.

“Deal!” Abel did not negotiate. He directly took out 5 blue howling rabbit flavour hunger potions from his portal bracelet and placed them on the table.

Master Alfred couldn’t help but shook his head. He knew he had made a low bet, but he still had to place that piece of leaf on the table.

Abel picked up the piece of leaf. It was tightly drawn with the formula and ingredients for the dragon blood wall breaking potion. He trusted that Master Alfred would not betray him, so he put away the leaf in his portal bracelet.

From that little scan, Abel knew the dragon blood wall breaking potion was very hard to make, and its ingredients were not easy to get either.

The first ingredient was dragon blood. Abel had seen a dragon beast before. That was when he was escaping for his life with Lady Carrie and her squad. It would be challenging to get a drop of blood from them, but still, Abel was not afraid of them.

However, if he wanted to use this potion on a commander, he would need the blood of a giant dragon. He suddenly realized, where could he find a giant dragon?

He thought of the legend of the Holy Continent, and then the little bit of dragon vigor he obtained. Just that little bit of vigor from a giant dragon could suppress most spiritual beasts, so how powerful was an actual giant dragon? He would probably be dead if he ran into a giant dragon, let alone getting blood from them.

Other than the dragon blood, the other ingredients were extremely unusual as well. This was not a knight leveling up. It was basically throwing gold coins at them.

Also, a normal successful dragon blood wall breaking potion could only double the level up success rate, a blue one could quadruple the success rate, a gold one could increase the success rate by 6, and a dark gold one could increase it by 8.

If Abel had enough ingredients, he was confident he could make a blue dragon blood wall breaking potion. But if he wanted anything more such as a gold one or a dark gold one, he would need immense luck or his Horadric Cube.

Seeing the look on Abel’s face, Master Alfred realized maybe Abel was too optimistic about the dragon blood wall breaking potion. He wanted to laugh. It was karma. Abel was too stingy!

“Master Alfred, the hunger potions I gave you are special. Normal ones can only last for 3 days, but my one can last for 10. So you need 2 to achieve the duration of 5 normal ones!” Abel explained. He did not feel betrayed. In fact, it would be strange if a mighty potion like the dragon blood wall breaking potion could be made with simple ingredients.

Master Alfred’s face froze up all of a sudden. He was laughing at Abel’s misfortune, but then he felt Abel’s kindness.

He felt embarrassed by his thoughts. It seemed like these hunger potion really was valuable. He had misunderstood Abel.
