Chapter 657: Mage Becomes an Apprentice! (Three in One)
Wow!
The moment Kelwin opened his mouth, thousands of people in the venue stood up instantly. Although they knew this statement in advance, it was just hearsay after all.
And now he is the most famous Kelwin wizard and potion master in the continent, so no one will doubt him anymore.
In addition to being the top master of alchemy, Rickelwin would publish any research results he had in the past for free for all magic alchemists to learn from. Therefore, his selfless behavior over a long period of time made him famous throughout the Holy Continent.
Everyone who talked about the Kelvin Mage admired his character very much.
At this time, Wizard Kelwin personally verified it and said that the effect of this potion was indeed powerful and real.
That means this potion is really designed to give new life to those wizards or high-level magicians who are unable to break through due to mental limitations.
No one can remain calm in the face of such a thing, especially the leaders of these large and small families, because owning a bottle of such a potion can enhance the strength of the family.
"Thank you very much for the test, Mage Kelwin! Then ladies and gentlemen, let's start the auction of these two potions!"
The host was also excited for a moment after hearing Kerwin's confirmation, but he naturally did not forget his job. He saw that thousands of people in the auction venue were excited at this time.
He immediately spoke up to start the auction of the potion.
Because the eldest lady of their Sacred Trading Company had instructed that this potion must be auctioned off at the highest price.
Because only in this way can the person who configured the potion that permanently increases mental power be satisfied, and then continuously configure more such potions.
"Wait, I have something else to say!"
However, the host's words were interrupted by Kerwin who was still standing on the podium.
To Kelwin, even if he was the eldest daughter of the Sacred Trading Company, he had to be treated politely. The host naturally did not dare to offend him, so he immediately stopped talking and looked at Kelwin with a smile.
"Master Kelwin, I wonder if you have anything else to say!"
"I'll just say a few words. It won't interfere with the normal progress of the auction!"
Kelwin also knew that it was inappropriate for him to interrupt the auction, so he apologized slightly and continued speaking.
"I want to say to the person who prepared this spiritual potion, no matter who you are, no matter your age or strength, if you have no objection, I, Kerwin, hope to become your disciple and your magic apprentice!"
"So, please show up and meet me, so that I will have no regrets in this life!"
"After becoming your apprentice, I promise to abide by the duties of an apprentice like other magic apprentices and obey the teachings of my mentor at any time! Everyone present at the auction today can serve as a witness. This is my oath today!"
"So, mentor, please come and meet me!"
There was a strange light in Kerwin's eyes, and he spoke very seriously.
After saying that, Kelwin didn't stay any longer and walked down the platform slowly.
“This…this…this…”
"What did Master Kelvin just say? Did I hear it wrong? Master Kelvin wants to become an apprentice..."
"Oh my god! This is too crazy! That's Master Kelwin, a wizard, one of the best potion masters in the alliance, and now he wants to be someone else's apprentice!"
Although Kelwin walked down from the platform, the effect of his subsequent words remained, shocking everyone present.
Whether it is the leaders of small and medium-sized families on the first floor, or the lords of the holy cities on the second floor.
Even the host, who was eager to start the auction as soon as possible, stood there in a daze, forgetting to start the auction while everyone was in high spirits.
"Kerwin, are you crazy?"
When Kerwin returned to the booth on the second floor, Dean Palmer beside him spoke to him with a look of disbelief on his face.
You should know that in addition to being a magician and a master of alchemy, Kelwin is also an elder of the Alliance Academy of Higher Learning.
What would it be like if an elder of an academy became someone's magic apprentice? What kind of scene would that be if such a thing really happened?
And now no one knows who the person who prepared this magical potion is. What if the person who prepared the potion is not as strong as Kerwin?
"Dean, I'm not crazy. Potions are my life. I've been researching potions for decades. I don't care even if my training is delayed because of this!"
"But when I thought I was really the best on that continent, I found out that I didn't even know how to make the potion that increases mental strength, let alone imitate it. I think I can't even imitate one ten-thousandth of the potion's effect!"
"You just think that any potion can be prepared as long as there is a formula, but I noticed that this potion is different!"
"Because this potion is likely to use a unique configuration method. I have tried countless of the top-grade potions we have refined in the past, but I always feel that the fusion has not reached perfection!"
"But the potion prepared by this mysterious pharmacist is different. In addition to its miraculous effects, the degree of integration of this potion is almost perfect. This is something that no pharmacist I have met before can do!"
"So I feel like a frog in a well. I want to be an apprentice, an apprentice of this mysterious pharmacist, and learn the higher-level configuration techniques. Only then can I die without regrets!"
"well!!"
Palmer shook his head and sighed deeply! .
Although he is a six-star grand mage, he has his own specialization. Naturally, he does not understand the preparation of potions as thoroughly as professionals like Kelwin and Bedford.
Hearing Kerwin say this, he knew there was no need to persuade him anymore.
Moreover, Kelwin made the oath in front of almost all the city lords of the Holy Alliance, so naturally it was impossible to take it back.
"Kerwin, since you have made such a decision, I will not stop you! I just hope that you can really get what you want!"
Palmer now only hopes that Kerwin can really learn the knowledge he wants and not meet any bad people.
Then both Kerwin and Palmer fell silent.
…
Kelwin's tone when he spoke to Palmer earlier was a little excited, and although he had deliberately suppressed his voice, most of the people on the second floor were the lords of the Holy City, and each of them was an extremely powerful person.
So his five senses were naturally very strong, and he heard everything Kelwin said completely.
At this time, the city lords had become even more curious about the mysterious pharmacist.
"Unique preparation method, Grandfather, does preparing potions require a different method?"
The booth of Sky City was not far from Dean Palmer and his group, so even Adela heard some of the words. She had just become a junior magician, so she had no experience in preparing magic potions. At this time, she was full of curiosity about Kelwin's words.
"Preparing magic potions does require special techniques. For example, Bedford has a technique that can increase the success rate of potions and improve the quality of potions!"
Although Edward was not a magician, he naturally knew something about these things and explained them directly to Adela.
"Oh! So that's how it is!"
There was a gleam in Adela's eyes. This potion was given to her by Gervis. Although she was not sure whether this potion was prepared by Gervis himself, she felt a little proud of what happened today.
Of course, it would be even better if this potion was really prepared by Gervis himself. Adela would be even happier and more glorious!
While Adela was extremely excited, Gervis was also confused.
He didn't expect that he was just thinking about making some pocket money by preparing potions, but suddenly a magician and potion master appeared and begged to become his apprentice, and even called him a mentor.
You have to know that the magic apprentices in this world are just like the masters and apprentices in ancient times of the previous life. Once a teacher, always a father.
The mentor is almost an authority in front of the apprentice, so beating, scolding or yelling is reasonable.
Except for not being able to take the apprentice's life without reason, he can have a say in almost everything else.
"Should I jump out and meet this Kelwin apprentice? After all, with an apprentice like him, I can walk around the City of Hope with ease!"
Gervis was also a little excited.
Of course, no matter how excited he was, he hadn't lived long enough, so he naturally didn't dare expose himself to the eyes of all the forces.
Otherwise, he would be at the center of the storm, and even if two more Kelwen wizards came, they might not be enough.
Besides, even if he had the nerve to accept Kelwin as his apprentice, Gervis would have no good knowledge to teach him!
Gervis is a complete novice when it comes to configuring magic potions!
The reason why the potion that increases mental power has such an effect is entirely due to the presence of kiwi fruit.
Kelwin didn't have the system, so Gervis naturally couldn't teach him how to make the potion magical by adding kiwi fruit!
"Oh, and about that unique preparation method, could it be that I am using magic power and fighting spirit to prepare the potion at the same time?"
"That should be it. Otherwise, where would I get my special skills from? I'm just completely flustered, okay?"
Gervis remembered the unique configuration method that Kerwin had mentioned before, and after thinking about it, he came to the conclusion that this was the only possibility.
And to be honest, this combination of fighting spirit and magic is indeed a unique configuration method. After all, it is impossible for the human race to have such a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.
As for other races, although their magic is also called magic, those are racial talents, which are fundamentally different from human meditation magic, and cannot be used to prepare potions.
…
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now going to start the auction of the first potion that increases mental strength. The starting price is 20,000 gold coins per potion, and each bid increase must not be less than 100 gold coins!"
"Now, the auction begins!"
At the auction, people spent a full five minutes expressing surprise, daze, and talking to each other.
Five minutes later, the host finally reacted after being reminded by the maid and realized that he still had important things to do.
Without further delay, he spoke loudly on the podium.
With the effect of the magic sound amplification circle in the auction venue, the host's voice spread to every corner. Only then did people come back to their senses and remember the main purpose of their visit today.
…
"hiss!"
When hearing the auction reserve price announced by the host, Gervis, the owner of the potion, couldn't help but gasp.
Twenty thousand gold coins. When Gervis went on the southern expedition, he worked very hard and risked his life to kidnap so many noble children, but he only earned sixteen thousand gold coins. In the end, he was chased by the pursuers and had to flee everywhere.
But now a most common medicine plus a thumb-sized piece of kiwi pulp can have such a price, which naturally has an enormous impact on Gervis.
If this potion is really sold at auction, then Gervis will have found a good deal that will make a lot of money!
Gervis took two deep breaths again and finally calmed down. Then he began to look around intently to see if anyone was bidding. It would be a big joke if no one bid and the potion failed to sell!
One second, two seconds, three seconds...nine seconds, ten seconds!
"I'll offer 21,000 gold coins!"
After Gervis waited anxiously for ten seconds, the first person finally started bidding and added 1,000 gold coins at once!
Only at this point did Gervis feel relieved.
Just when Gervis felt relieved, his heartbeat started to speed up again.
Because the voice of the first bidder was like turning on a switch. As his voice fell, people in the auction hall with a capacity of thousands of people began to bid one after another like popping beans.
"I'll offer 21,500 gold coins!"
"I'll offer 22,000 gold coins!"
"I'll offer 23,000 gold coins!"
"I offer 23,200 gold coins!"
As the shouts grew louder and louder, the entire auction site became boiling.
The host standing on the auction platform couldn't help but secretly wipe the sweat from his forehead when he saw this!
It turned out that the base price of this potion for increasing mental strength was not fixed originally. Lolita directly handed it over to him and let him set the price based on the situation.
Adela had only one request, which was that the higher the price the potion could be auctioned for, the better.
Before going on stage, the host gave the starting price for the potion to be between 6,000 and 10,000 gold coins.
But just now, Kelwin first affirmed the efficacy of this potion, and then threatened to become a disciple of the person who prepared this mysterious potion and be willing to become a magic apprentice.
This immediately made the host interested. He gritted his teeth and directly stated the starting price of 20,000 gold coins.
After saying this, he even felt a little regretful, especially during those ten seconds of silence in the auction hall. He thought he was going to mess up today's potion auction.
If this is true, then he will be in big trouble. Not only will he lose his job, he might even be severely punished by Miss Lolita!
Now listening to the continuous quotes in the venue, the host finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a feeling of surviving a calamity, and a feeling that those who survive a disaster will be blessed in the future!
"I'll offer 30,000 gold coins!"
As time passed, a lord of a holy city opened his mouth and raised the price directly from 28,000 gold coins to 30,000 gold coins!
Upon hearing such a price, Adela clenched her hands tightly, and a slight blush appeared on her face. She was obviously very excited that the potion could be sold at such a high price.
In addition to Adela, Gervis was also very excited. This potion belonged to him. If he finished bidding for these two, wouldn't it mean that he would have a fortune of 70,000 to 80,000 gold coins?
What’s more important is that there are five similar mental power potions in Gervis’s space ring!
So, at this moment, Gervis was getting excited just thinking about it!
In the excitement, Gervis suddenly remembered something, so he turned his head and looked at Laci who was not far away. He saw that Laci was leaning on the soft chair with a look of despair on his face. It seemed that he had suffered a great blow.
Before arriving at the Holy Manor, this guy was full of confidence because his father gave him the right to use 20,000 gold coins.
But now the starting price of this potion is 20,000 gold coins. If Laci wants to bid, he has to be the first to speak and then pay 100 gold coins out of his own pocket.
"35,000 gold coins!"
Just as Gervis was looking at Laci, he suddenly heard a steady voice in his ears.
It turned out to be Adela's grandfather, Duke Edward, who offered to bid.
Moreover, he raised the price by 5,000 gold coins at one time!
"Edward actually participated in the auction! Could it be that what he said that day was true? Was this potion really just sent to the auction by his granddaughter upon her commission? And it's being sold publicly?"
Edward's bid naturally attracted a lot of attention.
In addition to the fact that Edward's bid was too high, another important reason was that many holy city lords were wondering whether the potion was in the hands of the Sky City.
Last time at the Holy Alliance headquarters, Edward had stated that the potion was only transferred with the help of Adela, and that Sky City would not be involved, and that it would be acquired through auction.
But how could people easily believe such a magical potion? Any other force would have other thoughts and want to hold it firmly in their hands.
"35,000 gold coins at a time! Ladies and gentlemen, are there any bidders who would like to bid? Duke Edward is offering 35,000 gold coins. If you have any, please hurry up!"
"35,000 gold coins for the second time!"
"35,000 gold coins for the third time. Congratulations to Duke Edward for winning the first potion to increase mental strength!"
It was not known whether it was because the price Edward called out had reached the peak of everyone's psychological expectations, or because of Edward's identity, but when the host struck the hammer for the third time, no one opened their mouth to bid.
This first potion was eventually bought by Duke Edward for 35,000 gold coins.
"Since the first potion was bought by Duke Edward, let's start auctioning the second potion! This potion is exactly the same as the previous one. It also permanently increases mental strength. It has the same powerful effect and is configured by the same pharmacist!"
"Now, its starting price is still 20,000 gold coins, and each bid increase must not be less than 100 gold coins! Bidding begins now!"
The host was very efficient. When the maid took away one of the small wooden boxes containing the potion, he immediately announced the start of the auction for the second potion.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was no pause in the field as before, but the sound of bidding was heard immediately!
"I'll offer 22,000 gold coins!"
"I'll offer 22,500 gold coins!"
"I'm going to..."
As waves of bidding sounds echoed in the hall, the atmosphere on the scene became tense, even more intense than when the first potion was auctioned.
Because this is the last potion, many city lords have come from afar, mostly just for this potion, so naturally they are unwilling to go empty-handed.
"I offer 33,000 gold coins!"
"I offer 34,000 gold coins!"
"I offer 35,000 gold coins!"
"Dean Palmer, I hope you can give our Golden Shield family a favor and give this potion to our Golden Shield family, okay?"
"Hulton, according to the rules of the auction venue, if you want to bid for this potion, you must offer a higher price!"
"And this potion is very important to our academy, so we can't give it up! I'll offer 36,000 gold coins!"
When the price of the second potion reached the 35,000 gold coins offered by Edward, most people in the field had given up the idea. After all, such a price was a bit high for a potion.
But the Golden Shield Family and the Alliance College were still competing. Finally, Hulton from the Golden Shield Family couldn't stand it anymore and asked Dean Palmer to let go.
But Hulton's words immediately drew a counterattack from Palmer.
Palmer was very dissatisfied with the fact that Hulton blamed the Alliance College for Warren's death, and then put pressure on other holy cities to take away 200 admission places of the college, so he naturally gave the potion to the Golden Shield Family.
Besides, Palmer also wanted to buy the potion and let Kerwin study it carefully to see if he could produce any results so that he could give up the idea of becoming an apprentice. After all, a potion master who is also a wizard is definitely worth thirty or forty thousand gold coins.
"Palmer, you...37,000 gold coins!"
Hulton was also angered by Palmer's words. He had already broken the rules of the Sacred Trading Company by speaking, and he also owed Palmer a favor.
But Palmer did not give any face at all. Not only did he not give up the auction, but his words were also quite sharp.
After gritting his teeth, Houston continued to bid and called out a price of 37,000 gold coins.
"40,000 gold coins!"
Palmer spoke again without any hesitation, and actually added 3,000 gold coins at one time. The price at this time was already 5,000 gold coins higher than the first potion!
Wow!
After hearing what Palmer said, everyone present looked at Palmer and Hulton in surprise, wanting to see how the two would perform next!
As the saying goes, one who eats melons is not afraid of trouble. This is the state of many people at this moment!
