Warlord: King of All Clans

When it comes to his professional field, Master Morse is even more talkative. He smiled and explained, "The primary awakening potion is basically red. It has as many as seventy ingredients, at least ten of which are useless, and a few even have counterproductive effects."

"A thousand years ago, awakening potions were still called magic potions. The ingredients were even more complicated, with more than ten kinds of formulas and all kinds of materials. But now, after a thousand years of research and optimization, the awakening potion has the best formula and its properties are very stable."

"It's just that not all alchemists have the empire's top alchemy tables, so they can't completely purify it. Now, in the alchemy industry, as long as the impurities of the entry-level awakening potion are removed to less than ten, it can be considered a qualified awakening potion."

"The blue awakening potion is a completely purified product. It is only sold in the Imperial Capital and Ancestor in the entire empire. Could it be that Sir Mondo has seen the blue awakening potion?"

"Yes, Sir Mondo is the adopted son of the Duke of the North, so it is normal for him to use the best awakening potion."

As Master Morse talked, Leo learned all this alchemical knowledge.

Seeing Leo nodding repeatedly and looking willing to learn, Master Morse also began to have some favorable impressions of this new warlord.

But Leo's next sentence immediately made him depressed, "Oh, I have seen it, but I have never used it. I awakened naturally, and the awakening potion was distributed to my subordinates."

Even though he was a wizard who was born with a sense of superiority in terms of intelligence, he was still touched by Leo's words and felt sad.

Although mages have a high status, their lives are actually very difficult. Morse was born into a minor noble family, and the money he saved to make an initial awakening potion left him with nothing.

After becoming a junior wizard, he worked for a teacher at the Magic Academy in Anhurst for fifteen years. Thanks to his cleverness and many innovative inventions, he was able to save enough money to make an intermediate awakening potion.

Compared to Leo, his legendary life seemed to suddenly become dim.

I said I was the only alchemist in Isenbol who could make awakening potions, and you said you awakened naturally? No need?

The worst beginner awakening potion costs one hundred gold, and the price of a perfect quality awakening potion is double that. You said you distributed it to your subordinates?

The young knight lord of Isenbol saved up money for half his life to collect a hundred gold coins, and then begged for help from everyone, just to get an awakening potion and become an extraordinary knight.

Morse's expression was a little stiff, and he could only flatter: "Sir Mondo is indeed incredibly talented. He has awakened naturally at a young age. No wonder he is appreciated by the Grand Duke and the Demigod."

"There are only a few cases of natural awakening in the human race. Each one of them is an unrivaled genius, almost indistinguishable from a god's favor. It's really enviable."

Of course, Leo would not say that he was struck by lightning for pretending to be cool, and was forced to awaken naturally. He could only sigh and follow the topic: "Yes, people who awaken naturally are indeed rare. Besides me, I have only seen one person."

Morse was very interested. "Oh? There are other people?"

Leo was a little embarrassed, "My wife also awakens naturally."

“…”

I can’t continue the conversation!

Morse stared at Leo with deep eyes, as if he was going to send him away if they had a disagreement.

Leo could only awkwardly change the subject, "A perfect awakening potion must be made with the empire's top alchemy table? Which one is considered top-notch?"

Morse had no intention of discussing this knowledge that ordinary people could not understand with Leo, but due to his status, he could only explain, "Alchemy test benches are also divided into different levels. Conventional alchemy test benches can produce most alchemy potions and props. In the jargon of alchemists, they are called one hundred string alchemy benches, which are also called primary alchemy benches."

"The alchemy table at the level of the Imperial Research Laboratory has a magic accuracy of fifty strings, so it is called the Fifty-String Alchemy Table. This is an intermediate alchemy table."

"As for the advanced alchemy table, its magic accuracy reaches the level of twenty strings, which is enough to be used to research and produce all the alchemy potions currently known in the empire and to further purify the potions."

"But this kind of alchemy table is too expensive. It is only available in the Imperial Capital and Ancestor. In the high-level wizard tower, an intermediate alchemy table is considered high-end. A wild wizard like me can only afford a primary alchemy table built by myself."

"So I won't stay in Isenbor all the time. Many experiments require more advanced research equipment. I have to take a boat south to the holy city of Anchester to rent a laboratory for research."

He thought Leo didn't understand, but in fact Leo understood very well.

Alchemical experiments are scientific experiments in this world. Without a microscope, plasmolysis cannot be observed. Without advanced experimental equipment, it is impossible to conduct advanced scientific experiments.

So he turned around and asked the Rose Knight at the door, "Xia, what level is the alchemy table you brought back? Uh, it's the small table in the warehouse that Ilodi uses to grind pepper."

Rose Knight Thea and her companion Gwen looked at each other, and the latter answered for her: "It's a small alchemy table with twelve strings."

Although they had no knowledge of alchemy and did not know how to use the alchemy table, they had brought this alchemy table from the imperial capital thousands of miles away, so they at least knew some details about it.

Before the Rose Knight finished his words, Mage Morse stood up suddenly, his monocle falling off in excitement.

"Twelve strings? Is it the empire's newest alchemy table? How is that possible?"

Leo was also surprised. Are you talking about the same thing as I told you?

Is it really the table in the lord's house that the little maid used to grind pepper?

Rose Knight Gwen was a little embarrassed. "It is indeed a twelve-string alchemy platform. This is the exclusive alchemy platform of the court wizard Archmage Angelo, but it was... sent here by Her Royal Highness the Princess."

She didn't say that it was the respected Princess who brought the Rose Knights into the archmage's laboratory in the middle of the night and secretly pried it away.

Because my little sister, Fisa, has always wanted a lab bench of her own!

Although Master Morse didn't know the inside story and didn't know how River Bay had the empire's most advanced alchemical equipment, he didn't think Leo would deceive him.

"Can you rent out your alchemy table? I can pay by the minute!"

Leo was even more embarrassed. "Of course, but not now. I have to go back and look for it because half of it was stolen by the damn kobold."

In the entire river bay, only the kobold Fisa and the little maid Elodi would use the auxiliary tools of the alchemy table. However, in view of the high cost of the alchemy table, Leo was unwilling to give it directly to Fisa to destroy it, so he refused to place her in the Knobold Valley.

Ten Rose Knights crossed mountains and rivers from the southern imperial capital more than 4,000 miles away to the river bend. Apart from some gold coins and books, they only had this alchemy platform.

Although it was a disassembled small alchemy table with all the redundant and bulky parts other than the magic array and experimental equipment discarded, the total weight was still about one or two hundred kilograms.

Even if everyone in the entire River Bend couldn't figure out its value, no one would think it was worthless, and no one agreed to send it to the Gnoll Valley for Fraser to play with.

So Fisa got mad and stole half of it!

Wizard Morse was trembling with rage, wishing he could stab Leo to death with his staff.

"It's fine for grinding pepper, but at least it has a grinding function! How could it be stolen by a kobold? What did the kobold do with it? Skin rats?"
