Great Nobleman

"Mr. Bland, I heard from the servant that you have discovered a new plant? Its seeds help refresh the mind?"

In a certain alchemy laboratory of the Kaya Imperial Mage Academy, an old mage with pale hair, thick dark circles under his eyes, and wrinkled mage robes asked Brand curiously.

This old mage is called Morian Hanfa. He is the alchemy professor of the Kaya Imperial Mage Academy, and also the alchemy teacher of Brand's freshmen.

For Brand, the student, the old mage was quite impressed.

In terms of appearance, Brand is second to none in the Mage Academy. At almost every tutor gathering, Professor Morian can hear those "superficial" female tutors gather together and discuss Bran excitedly. De's every move in class.

cough!

Of course it doesn't matter!

As a highly respected alchemy instructor, he is fundamentally different from those "superficial" female mages.

With Master Morian's attainment of spiritual power, he can easily observe the level of spiritual power of ordinary people below junior mages and mage apprentices.

Therefore, Professor Morian has no secrets about Brand's level of mental power. From the level of ordinary people when he entered school, to the level that he has reached the standard of junior mage apprentices, he can see it all.

This speed of improvement in mental strength is the fastest among the students in this class.

To evaluate in an easy-to-understand language, Brand is the top student in this class of students.

This is why Professor Morian was so impressed with Brand, not because of Brand's enviable "useless body"!

All in all, for an excellent and unique student like Brand, the old professor has a little more patience than others!

On Brand's side, after hearing the old professor's question, he took out a few brown "beans" from his backpack and put them on the table between the two of them.

Then, he introduced to the old mage: "That's right, Professor Morian, this is the seed of that plant, which I call coffee beans.

Just grind it into powder, then mix it with hot water, and then filter out the residue, so that you can make that kind of super potion that refreshes your mind in a cup. I call that potion coffee! "

Professor Morian, who has always been rigorous, ignored Brand's exaggerated bragging.

Well, he has seen a lot of nobles, they always like to use exaggerated language to show that what they say is right.

But magic is rigorous, and any conclusions that have not been verified are worthless.

After Brand took out the coffee beans, the old professor took out a "detection tool" like a magnifying glass from his magic pocket and studied it carefully.

Before long, he came to a conclusion:

"Although it is indeed the seed of a new plant that has not been recorded, it seems to be just an ordinary plant, without any magical response or extraordinary characteristics."

Seeing Professor Morian's skeptical expression, Brand was not in a hurry.

This coffee bean was realized by him from the simulated world, and of course things in the physical world have no extraordinary properties.

But who said that you must have extraordinary characteristics to refresh your mind?

The corners of Brand's mouth curled up slightly, and he suggested confidently:

"Although it is not a magic plant, it does have a refreshing effect. How about I make you a cup of coffee and let you experience it directly?"

If someone else said that, Professor Morian would definitely reject it without accident.

It's just new species, and many are discovered every year. Before determining its specific value, it is not worth spending too much time as a master alchemist.

But considering that the person who made this suggestion was a talented student in his class, a favorite of a group of "superficial" female mages, and it is said that this person's father is also a viscount of an imperial fiefdom.

After comprehensive consideration, Professor Morian nodded with a smile.

Magic, not only knowledge, interpersonal communication is also very important!

Without the magic gold coins contributed by the nobles of the empire, the research funds of these professors would not be as abundant as they are now!

Moreover, now that I have been in touch with Brand for a while, won't there be a lot more talk at the next meeting?

I don't know how many "superficial" female magicians will be attracted by Brand's alchemy deeds!

cough! The last one is not important!

Then, Professor Morian saw Brand take out a full set of tools from his backpack, grind the coffee beans into powder, and ask the servant for hot water to brew.

Finally, after filtering through the filter cloth, two cups of dark brown "elixirs" were produced by Brand.

Although some are dissatisfied with Brand's rough "alchemy" technique.

But because of the close distance, Professor Morian could already smell the strong "pharmaceutical fragrance" emanating from it.

After taking a deep breath, he felt that the exhaustion from his long-term research seemed to have weakened a bit.

After Brand's "preparation of potion" was over, before Brand seemed to want to say something, Professor Morian impatiently picked up the cup of "coffee potion" in front of him and swallowed it down.

After taking this bite, apart from being a little hot, a bitter taste bloomed in the taste buds on the tip of the tongue.

That feeling is somewhat indescribable.

Although the taste is very bitter, but under the keen perception.

He found that this bitterness contained an extremely subtle sense of coolness.

And it was this refreshing feeling that lifted his spirit a little bit!

Although the process of this change is so subtle that ordinary people can't even detect it.

But as a master alchemist, he instantly realized what this meant!

"Unbelievable! There is a natural refreshing substance in this thing! This substance has not been discovered before! It might be able to replace the main ingredient in the refreshment potion!"

Looking at the unfinished coffee in his hand, Professor Morian's eyes gradually became hot.

In addition, he also had a lot of affection for Brand who brought the cup of coffee.

"Mr. Brand, you must have this kind of plant seed named coffee bean in your place? I am willing to buy it at a high price!"

Seeing that Professor Morian recognized the "value" of coffee beans, Brand felt a lot more relaxed.

Don't look at Brand's confident look before, it's all just pretending.

Acting is a compulsory course for nobles.

After all, Brand was always worried about whether he could pass the final exam.

Regarding Professor Morian's proposal to purchase coffee beans, Brand smiled slightly and did not make any statement.

Now that the invigorating value of coffee beans is recognized, it's time for negotiations.

High price acquisition?

Brand would not be so stupid!

As Professor Morian said at the end, coffee beans may be able to replace one of the main ingredients of the refreshment potion.

Refreshing potion, that is a potion that can quickly restore mental power.

Brand would occasionally drink a bottle or two to replenish his mental power when creating the world in the simulated world.

Because of its high price, Brand also went to the alchemy department of the academy to inquire about its production formula and refining method.

The expensiveness of the refreshment potion comes from the magic plant that blindly has the effect of refreshing the mind.

No second plant with the same effect has been found in Farnese Continent.

Limited by the planting conditions, the price of this magic plant is very expensive.

Then consider the success rate of medicine refining and other issues.

The market price of a bottle of refreshing potion has reached 30 magic gold coins!

You know, Brand, who has always been extravagant, only has a monthly spending quota of 50 magic gold coins.

Under the influence of magic, the Kaya Empire is not short of basic food, and one silver coin is enough for an ordinary civilian family to live for a month!

Although I don't understand how plants that only have a refreshing effect can be used as the main material of the spirit recovery potion, this is not what Brand needs to consider.

Anyway, that's what they said, and Brand only needs to think so!

All in all, if coffee beans can be used to replace the main ingredient of the refreshment potion, the benefits involved will be huge and terrifying.

The Holland family may therefore take a big step on the road to great aristocracy.

Yersin would probably be ecstatic!
