Abe the Wizard

“Potion maker Gilpin, can this potion be replicated?” Queen Luisa asked hastily.

She knew it was the new research of Master Bennett, but the lite healing potion was already become a military-grade product after hearing what Potion maker Gilpin said.

A military-grade product had to be treated with military-grade care, so it was best for the royal to hold the formula.

“Majesty, the lite healing potion can not be replicated!” Potion maker Gilpin said with certainty.

“Is there really no hope?” Queen Luisa asked again.

“Yes, Master Bennett used a special method to make them. I can not even tell what ingredients it was made out of, let alone replicating it!” Potion Maker Gilpin laughed wryly again.

He hadn’t felt this way in a long time. One needed to know the ingredient of the potion in order to replicate it. After that, they would need to test out the formula and calculate the data through trials and errors.

Potion maker Gilpin had inherited the skill to analyze potion from the royals, but it was completely useless on the lite healing potion.

The lite healing potion was made with the Dark World formula. Wanting to analyze it with the low-level potion-making skills of this world was almost a fantasy.

It was not a matter of being able to analyze it or not. They were basically 2 different schools of alchemy. This world focused on the mysteries of alchemy spells, but the Dark World focused on the little changes within the ingredients and how they could correspond with the flames.

To embark on the Dark World’s school of alchemy, one had to find a way to directly ignite the fire element of a fire gem.

On top of that, the ingredients for the lite healing potion were only found in the Dark World, so even if you achieved the unachievable and analyzed this potion, or even if Abel put the formula right in front of Potion Maker Gilpin, he could not make it.

“Steward Hardy, take 103 light gems from the inventory and give it to master Bennett for an order of 100 lite healing potions!” Queen Luisa lowered her voice and commanded.

Finally, the incident had settled. She could not force Abel to give out the formula. Every formula was the asset of a potion maker, so she would turn every potion maker against her if she did so.

The potion maker union was an important force of the elves. It was why the elves were so respected in the Central Continent, and she would not break her relationship with a master potion maker for a formula.

At the end of the day, she could just do normal trade with Master Bennett. As long as she didn’t go overboard, she would have a much higher chance to get those potions than the wizards.

Another 20 days passed. Abel just got his 10 light gems through the WIzard Union from his lite healing potion listing. It was a daily schedule at this point.

He was no longer short in light gems, but he was not planning to combine intermediate light gems to top-level light gems for training just yet.

He had accepted the Queen’s order of 100 lite healing potion the day before.

“Master Bennett, a guest is waiting for you in the union. It is Law Defying WIzard Hume from the wizard Union!” The potion maker union’s staff sent Abel a message.

Abel immediately came to the union’s guest lounge and saw an old pale human wizard sitting on the couch.

“You are Master Bennett, right?” WIzard Hume stood up and bowed.

“Law Defying Wizard Hume, yes I am Bennett!” Abel bowed back.

“Master Bennett, I’m here on behalf of the wizard Union. Your potion has dramatically reduced our loss, and I want to thank you!” WIzard Hume did a perfect Wizard bow.

“Wizard Hume, you don’t need to do that. We are just doing fair trade!” Abel bowed back again.

“Master Bennett, have a seat. We’ll keep talking!” Said Wizard Hume. he seemed like the owner of this place.

Of course, he was a law-defying wizard. The most powerful resource of the Central Continent’s wizard union. He was the pinnacle of prestige. He made his own rules on every occasion.

Abel smiled and sat down, and some staff brought glasses of juice.

“Master Bennett, the Wizard Union, has a high demand for your life healing potion, so I want to preorder a batch from you!” Wizard Hume continued to smile.

The sudden emergence of Abel’s potion had dramatically reduced the wizard’s death rate in battles, so of course, it attracted the wizard union’s attention.

After the Wizard union’s investigation, they realized this potion was not only effective on elite wizards but Law Defying wizards as well.

The only thing different was that they might need an extra bottle.

As you know, for a potion to be effective on a wizard, it needed to correspond with his rank. All potions an elite wizard needed were extremely precious, and only a small number of master’s potions could be effective on law-defying wizards.

Only a few Master’s potions could be produced in a year, which was not enough for all the law-defying wizards. On top of that, master-grade ingredients were getting hard and harder to find.

Now that the wizard union had realized the power of those lite healing potions, everything changed. They could no longer continue to let those mysterious potions getting brought up in the listing system.

Actually, all the lite healing potions listed in the past few days were exchanged by the wizard union members before the other wizards even got a chance. But of course, it was a secret.

They knew they couldn’t keep doing this. A spirit ran the wizard union at the end of the day. If law-defying wizards kept interfering with its system, their rights would be limited as well.

Therefore, Wizard Hume had no choice but to find Abel. He wanted to directly get some from Abel’s hand.

“Wizard Hume, you said a batch. How many is a batch?” Abel frowned.

Although there were more than enough ingredients for the lite healing potion in the forest outside of the Dark World’s Kurast Dock, he still needed to go find them and make them. This would be a toll on his training time.

“300 bottles every month!” WIzard Hume directly gave Abel a number.

Abel couldn’t help but shake his head. That was exactly all the lite healing potion he was listed in a month.

“WIzard Hume, how are you going to pay for the potions?” Abel did not immediately accept WIzard Hume’s order.

“Master Bennett, I know you need light gems, but I don’t think even the Wizard Union inventory has that many intermediate light gems. If you agree, I can use beginner light gems to exchange. According to the market value, 10 beginner light gems equals 1 intermediate light gem, so I will give you 10 beginner light gems for 1 bottle of lite healing potion!” Wizard Hume smiled again.

Abel couldn’t help but feel like he was looking at an old cunning fox as he looked at Wizard Hume. Market value? 10 beginner light gems for an intermediate light gem? No one would actually do that.

It was basically an oversupply with no demand situation, and WIzard Hume was clearly suppressing his value.

“WIzard Hume, I can agree but only on one condition. If I supply 300 bottles of lite healing potion to the wizard union each month, I will no longer have enough for my listings. If it causes an uproar among the wizards, the wizard union needs to resolve it for me!” Abel still smiled.

Although this price was unfair to other people, Abel could combine a top-level light gem with only 9 beginner light gems, so it was a good deal nevertheless.

“Master Bennett, I am very grateful for your help. If you have time, come to the wizard union and visit us!” Wizard Hume was expecting to negotiate with Abel for a while, but Abel just accepted in a swift, which painted a very good impression in his heart.

Abel was an unbelievably young master potion maker, and his kind intentions towards the wizard union were shown during this exchange. With such big achievements at this age, Wizard Hume was feeling very optimistic about Abel’s future. Although Abel was an elf, it was worth it to form a good relationship.

“Wizard Hume, I will when I am free!” Abel smiled.

“Master Bennett, now the deal is set. I have a personal favor I want to ask you!” Wizard Hume took a sip of the juice and put his glass down with a smile.

“Wizard Hume, please tell me!” Abel looked at WIzard Hume.

I’ve done some research into you before!” Wizard Hume noticed the change in Abel’s face, so he quickly explained, “the Wizard Union surveillance system is monitoring everything that is happening in the Central Continent; it doesn’t target a particular race. We just don’t want any spies from the Evil Kingdom coming into our territory!”

“Please continue!” Abel smiled and diffused the tension. He knew the wizard union gathered a lot of information, so he was just a little afraid.

“Master Bennett, I know you just became a master potion maker in the potion maker union, but I know your success rate is much higher than the other masters!” WIzard Hume continued to smile.

“You are overpraising me!” Abel let out a cold laugh.

He could see that Wizard Hume was genuinely trying to ask for a favor. Otherwise, else he would not compliment him so much. Abel had fought with a law-defying wizard, so he knew how scary they were.

“I want you to make a master potion for me. I have all the ingredients prepared. 5 portions in total!” WIzard Hume looked into Abel’s eyes and said.

“Wizard Hume, maybe you are confused. I hold the least number of master potion formulas in the union, so you should find the other masters instead. I am very close with Master Muir and Master Nolan. I can help you ask them!” Abel suggested.

“Master Bennett, the potion I want is the spirit guardian potion. I’ve discovered the formula in an ancient sight, and I found most of the ingredients there as well. After exchanging with some people, I’ve finally gathered 5 portions. The other master had never made this potion before as well, so I’ll give you the potion as comprehension, and I’ll owe you a favor if you help me!” WIzard Hume stood up and bowed.

Wizard Hume had done some research into Abel through the wizard union. He discovered that Abel had never made a potion less powerful than a blue rank potion besides the lite healing potions ever since joining the potion maker union.

No matter if it was an intermediate or a master’s potion, they were all at least blue rank. Wizard Hume asked a top-level potion maker about this, and according to his words, Master Bennett’s potion-making skills had reached the pinnacle of potion-making. As long as he kept making master’s potions, he would become a grandmaster potion maker one day.

That top-level potion maker was also suspicious of Abel’s success rate. Maybe he didn’t even need 5 portions to make a master’s potion.

Wizard Hume was reminded of Abel’s natural breathing potion when it came to this. It was an exclusive potion from the elves, only a master potion maker in the potion maker union could get the formula.

However, master Bennett had mastered it in no time and directly produced 2 blue natural breathing potions.

That’s why WIzard Hume wanted Abel to help him make the spirit guardian potion. He just couldn’t risk it. Its ingredients were too precious. Maybe the 5 portion he had was the only 5 portions in this world
