Chapter 7：Simple Revenge

In the busy process, Luna made another contact with all the people he came into contact with on the day of his accident.

Sure enough, the target was quickly positioned on a rank 2 mage.

It was very simple. No one here cared about the life or death of a magic apprentice. Most mages and apprentices turned a blind eye to walking around with a wound like Luna. They didn't care at all.

Only one person, watched it three times before and after!

After paying attention to Luna a few times, Francois completely ignored him.

Don't say that what you have done can't be confirmed. So what if it is confirmed? He was afraid of William Gast, a seventh-rank mage, but not of a small apprentice like Luna.

With his background guarantee, William dared not do anything to him.

He only looked at it a few more times because he wanted to test the explosive power of his bottle of potion.

Francois left Luna completely behind and began to work on his own business.

Luna picked out all the materials Francois had requested, plus the materials she had just written down in the lab.

Luna smiled lightly, and Francois was making the "fire-breathing ring".

This is a ring that can cast the "Burning Hand" spell three times a day. Every time it is cast, it can spray flame into the cone area directly in front of it. The area is not large and the damage is small, so it is used to deal with creatures like goblins.

Recently, however, the popular game of playing the fire dragon among the nobles at Baldur's Gate has greatly increased the sales of this ring.

When telling stories in the salon, putting the ring in front of the mouth, acting as a fire dragon and ejecting cone-shaped flames, causing the cries of affectionate tenderness of young noble women.

 Therefore, this kind of ring was very popular now. It was sold for thousands of gold coins, which was even more expensive than a protective flame ring.

What Francois wants to make is this kind of ring. Inlay the forged ring with rubies, apply the slime of cow hair, and cast the "Burning Hand" on the ring three times in a row. The enchantment will succeed.

He was currently a rank 2 mage, and he had three one-ring spell slots every day, so he could just make one of these rings.

Luna continued to rummage through the documents and finally found a certain apprentice's need for materials to make cow hair slime. Luna gently patted her hand. It seemed that revenge wouldn't take long.

Luna passed Slime's Slime and cow hair to the apprentice mage, just the right amount in exchange for a complaining look.

The apprentice, who couldn't deduct any more, could only curse Luna while cutting the cow's hair into pieces and mixing it evenly with Slime's mucus.

Then, he carried the finished product and hurriedly walked to Mage Francois's laboratory.

Watching the creation of a magic item on the sidelines was an incredible experience.

Unfortunately, obviously the mage has a bad temper today.

After receiving the mixture, he forcefully closed the door of the laboratory without waiting for the apprentice to say his request! This gives the apprentice one more person to curse.

Francois fixed the ring stably on the clamp of the experimental table, fully soaked the gemstone in the mixture, salvaged it, and perfectly inlaid it on the ring holder.

Francois was the son of a jewellery servant of a noble family. He had a deep knowledge of gemstone cutting. This made the gemstone rings he produced more in line with the requirements of nobles. The price increased by one-third, and more than half of the proceeds went to him.

The exquisite ring, the perfectly cut ruby, and the dots of cow hair on it are particularly disgusting.

Francois decided to cast the spell earlier and burn the dirty things so that the magic ring glowed brightly red.

He calmed his breath and stretched his hands forward at an obtuse angle, chanting a spell.

A crimson cone-shaped flame erupted from between his fingers, burning the ruby ring.

The ignited slime smelled burnt.

François pulled the wrench, turned the ring 120 degrees, and he cast his Burning Hand on the ring again.

The ring emitted a scarlet glow, a sign that it had been heated to its limit.

Francois pulled the wrench again with satisfaction, turning the ring to the last side.

Where he hadn't noticed, the ruby was shrouded in an eerie red glow.

 He smiled, and the third perfect "Burning Hand" was used accurately towards the last side of the ring.

With a loud "boom", the door of Francois's laboratory was blown out by the explosion, smashing the head of the apprentice who was still wandering in the corridor and cursing! He covered his head and looked at the messy laboratory in shock. He was so scared that he was completely speechless.

Although he had caused an explosion accident before, it was simply incomparable to an official mage!

Within a minute, Archmage Habaser Dlin rushed over with anger on his face.

"What's going on?!" He shouted at the apprentice who was still crouching on the ground and hugging his head.

"I didn't curse him!" The apprentice screamed and cried for fear that Archmage Habaser Dlin would crush him to death.

"Scram!" The Archmage's voice made the entire second floor tremble.

Habaser Dlin ignored the frightened apprentice and went straight into the laboratory full of debris and eerie smoke.

Bullshit curse, a hundred apprentices curse me every day.

He muttered, swept around, picked up the container that had landed at the door, sniffed it, and scolded loudly again, not knowing who he was scolding.

The quest list in the room had already been burned. Judging from the remnants, it was obvious that Mage François was planning to do something he overestimated, and then he naturally failed. That was it.

Habaser Dlin looked around the near-scrapped lab, cursed again, turned and left.

Even the trembling apprentice didn't look at him again.

Therefore, of course, he didn't know that the apprentice had only sent a mixture of cow hair crumbs, which was the standard material for making the fire-breathing ring.

Not the evening primrose solution he smelled.

In the making of magic rings, there is a thousand miles of difference.

There was only one or two different materials in the production of the Spitfire Ring, the Flame Pearl Ring, and the Fireball Ring.

Luna added a little bit of evening primrose powder to the mucus, which was only the weight of a fingernail. The formula was to make a fireball ring.

However, when the weight of the evening primrose wasn't enough, and the spell he cast was not a fireball technique but a Burning Hand, only God knew the consequences.

Of course, the most common consequence is an explosion.

When it comes to fire elements and rubies, it is a violent explosion.

That's what it is.

If Habaser Dlin hadn't come in person, no one else wouldn't even notice the smell of evening primrose.

Anyway, this matter is over.

[Life Crisis: Your life has been threatened, what are you waiting for?!] Find the root cause and then eliminate it! Quest Completed, +300 Experience

Luna and the other two apprentices, Alice and Lestrade, stood with bated breaths.

In front of them, a middle-aged mage wearing a magnificent robe and a crown looked at them expressionlessly.

Including Luna, the three apprentices began to sweat on their heads, and the female apprentice Alice's legs could be seen trembling slightly.

This person is the owner of the witchcraft grocery store, Luna, the nominal mentor and fate master of these magic apprentices, and the fifteenth level archmage Habaser Dlin!

This place, called the grocery store, was one of the best magical items stores in Baldur's Gate and the entire Sword Coast.

Its appearance looks like a huge yurt with a glass dome, covering an area of thousands of square meters.

As for its interior, a spatial folding spell was applied to expand its space by more than ten times.

The entire building, including the underground floor, was divided into four floors with hundreds of rooms.

The top floor is Habaser Dlin's residence and laboratory, and most of the first floor is open to the public shops.

A formal mage like William who came to work, even if he worked part-time, would have a room on the first or second floor.

And hundreds of apprentices were doing all kinds of repetitive or dangerous tasks in the reinforced basement.

They call it "the hive" because it is divided into dozens of identical rooms, and in order to reduce losses, each room has only the necessary items.

And the owner and protector of all this stood before them.

At noon, Luna, who received Habaser Dlin's call message, hurried to the alchemy factory of the witchcraft grocery store. Then, she was led into an area she had never entered before, and arrived in front of Archmage Habaser Dlin.

"I know," the Archmage's low voice sounded. Luna saw the two men breathe lightly, and he knew that he was similar.

The different reason is that they are forced by the awe-inspiring oppression of the archmage, while Luna is worried that Francois's affairs will be exposed.

"I know that you think I hate you, that I torture you for fun."

The archmage paced slowly.

"No, I don't hate you. I don't even know any of you."

Wouldn't this make people more hated? Luna thought in surprise.

"Many of you were injured, some died, all of you lived in the shadow of death every day, and you hated me.

"He suddenly stopped and laughed twice." It's normal, because I was the same way back then.

I am also on the edge of life and death every day until I become an official mage.

We survive, get sweet fruit.

Those who fail are the price paid. "

"In the past, today, and in the future, when you accept apprentices, it will always be the same.

Until you understand it, hate it, and it will be your best step to the temple. "

"You three can stand in front of me ahead of time, not because you are good enough.

It's just that you have a decent background, which makes me hesitate for a second or two when I send you to death.

Recently, someone has always suggested that I add an assistant to the medicine experiment, so you guys have been brought to me in advance by your background. "

"Number 2." He looked at the girl named Alice. She was so frightened that her head was curled up in front of her chest that she was shivering. Tears began to brew in her eyes. "Your hand is still holding a spell posture?" Put it down.

That's fake news! Learning magic is your own business, all I need is your alchemy talent! I only take alchemy. "

Alice quickly loosened her pinched hands and put them behind her back. Although she tried not to cry, the tears still soaked her chest.

"Number 3," his eyes turned to Lestrade. "Your hands are not burning clearly, and you have practiced making blazing glue many times? Unfortunately, that's also fake news. I hope you didn't lose too much money.

At the very least, it would be useful to practice preparing potions more. "

The corners of Lestrade's mouth twitched, trying to laugh and say something, but in the end only twisted his face into a strange shape and said nothing.

"Number 1," he looked at Luna. "I thought you were either dead or escaped, so I didn't give you false news."

Well, can you pull more hatred?!

"Now, enough nonsense! Go into the room behind you. There are questions in it.

These are all things I've done before, maybe once, maybe twice, who cares? An apprentice who can't steal is not a good apprentice! Isn't it? I'll give you two hours, and if you can't finish it, go to the basement! I promise, until the rest of those people die, there will be no hope for losers to come to me again! "

Luna looked back and saw a door with "1" written on it.

The so-called topic is a table with more than a dozen materials such as moonlight grass, flame grass, chrysanthemum, fluorite, broken coal core, etc.

As for what potion needs to be made, guess? No instructions, no prompts, not even a piece of paper on the table.

Luna quickly arranged and combined these materials in her mind.

Invincible Potion! A potion that can greatly increase a warrior's instant protection and magic savings.

Although the effective time is only 30 seconds, within 30 seconds, you can rampage like a dragon.

If this potion is prepared by the original Luna, the success rate will not exceed 20%.

The ingredients were given three times, but in terms of time, they could only fail once at most.

However, now Luna's "Alchemy" skill is as high as level 11, even surpassing the level of most official mages below level 5! He was 70% confident of this potion!

First, sit down for five minutes, enter a shallow meditation state, clear distractions and empty the mind.

Then he stood up and began to extract substances in turn with the refinement technique.

He guessed that the invincible potion might be the hardest one, just like the information behind it reflected in the order in which the false news was released before, because he was the one with the lightest background.

Background is also a part of strength. Luna, who has social experience, certainly understands it, so there is nothing to complain about.

He must finish it as quickly as possible to ensure that the assistant's quota will not be replaced.

Of course, he would never take out separation, extraction, chemical synthesis, etc. that did not belong to this world.

What he wants to fight for now is just an assistant position, and it is not worth risking his life.

His powerful spiritual energy allowed him to easily control the power of his arcane arts. He completed one step after another. An hour later, a bottle of something similar to Slime mucus was placed into a container.

Because this potion looks like Slime Slime, when sold, it is usually packed in opaque porcelain bottles. The price in the store is as high as 1,500 gold coins per bottle!

Of course, it tastes more like a Slime solution to drink! Unfortunately, it was impossible to return the goods at that time, wasn't it?

Perhaps the instant anger caused by drinking the potion was also part of the effect of igniting the potion.

Just like a piece of fluorescent moss can cast light spells, and eating a spider can cast spider spells. Who knows the mystery and complexity of magic?

After refreshing himself from sitting quietly again, he pushed the door open and walked out.

Sure enough, Alice was already standing there, looking at the transparent bottle and blue liquid in her hand, Absorbing Potion, a kind of absorbing potion that can absorb impact force and lightning, the difficulty coefficient is only half of the invincible potion at most!

Archmage Habaser Dlin, who was sitting behind the table, waved gently, and Luna felt the porcelain bottle in her hand rise upward, so she let go of her hand.

The porcelain bottle flew over and landed on the archmage's table. He opened it and observed it, and then dropped out another drop and tasted it carefully.

"You can go now. Come to the third floor tomorrow."

After Habaser Dlin finished speaking, he stuffed the potion and put it aside, and went to his own busy.

Luna bowed and backed away, as if she heard the girl named Alice wailing.

It's none of my business, he didn't look back and went straight out.

Tomorrow, will be a new beginning.
