Abe the Wizard Chapter 252 – Intermediate Alchemist

Chapter 252 Intermediate Alchemist

The basic alchemy recipe had transformed into a golden liquid under the effect of soul enhancing potion and Abel’s power of the Will. Then, the golden liquid turned into a spot of ink.

One by one, the intermediate alchemy recipe was drawn, and every corner and depth had been drawn out carefully. Drawing alchemy recipes did not require spending one’s mana, but it did require a lot of power of the Will.

Abel was a wizard that had 30 points on his power of the Will. He had more than enough to use. Without any errors, a perfect golden dark alchemy recipe appeared in his mind.

Meanwhile, Grand Duke Edwina and Master Mara were standing at the door side. Usually, Abel would have sensed their sudden appearance, but right now, he was completely occupied by his imaginary training

When Duke Edwina and Master Mara came in, they saw a dark golden aura surrounding Abel’s body. Yet, there was no mana or combat qi that was fuming out. Abel’s was having a breakthrough with his alchemy skills. That was the only explanation.

Master Mara was not surprised. If anything, since Abel could make a flash of light (like making critical hits, except in alchemy) and the “elven perfume” with the soul-purifying special effect, he should’ve become an intermediate alchemist much quicker.

However, Duke Edwina was very surprised. From her understanding, Abel had just started learning alchemy and had just received his own intermediate alchemy recipe. He could only be a genius if he became an intermediate alchemist this quickly.

Master Mara tried to speak but was quickly stopped by Duke Edwina. It was at this moment that she realized how strange Abel was being.

Abel suddenly moved his hand and gently grabbed the tools on the table. He held a crystal bottle in his hand, and his other hand was searching amongst the materials He was searching for stuff he could use to make the skin lotion.

It was a spectacular brew. Not only was Abel fast at making the potion, but the words he chanted out were also so fast that they were almost inaudible. He didn’t make any mistakes, either. As Abel completed his fusing with one material. He immediately picked up another material.

Although Master Mara had fused countless potions before, this was the first time that she had seen someone doing something like this. Abel’s movements were very sophisticated, but they were several times faster than a normal alchemist. Actually, Master Mara wasn’t even sure if she could make the simplest potion as fast as Abel.

As the final progress ended, the mixture of materials in the bottles flashed out a stream of colorful lights. A bottle of skin lotion in blue arc appeared in Abel’s hands, and a final flashed light promoted the skin lotion from white to blue.

Grand Duke Edwina and Master Mara looked at each other. Abel had just become an intermediate alchemist, so how did the flash of light appear? He was just an intermediate alchemist.

Suddenly, Abel tossed away the blue lotion. He was doing it like he was throwing away a piece of rubbish. His hands started to search for other materials, and a conditioner appeared on the table.

Another round of fusing began. With the same speed and accuracy, while Abe did fail a few times, he didn’t hesitate to restart the whole process. Grand Duke Edwina might not be familiar with the way Abel was brewing the potions, but he sure was making it look very easy.

Once again, a bottle of conditioner was produced. The colorful light appeared again. A bottle of conditioner in blue arc light appeared in Abel’s hand.

At this point, there was no more soul enhancing potion left. As Abel came back to his senses, he suddenly noticed the two more people in the room. While he was annoyed to be watched, his anger shriveled as he noticed who the two elves were.

“Sorry. We didn’t watch with your permission,” Master said sincerely before Duke Edwina had said anything.

“I brought Master Mara here to meet you.” Grand Duke Edwina said. She knew that what she had done was wrong, but as Abel’s teacher’s teacher (she’s the one who taught Loraine), she just nodded her head without explicitly apologizing to him.

Abel replied, “No, Grand Duke Edwina, it was alright. The fault was mine. I was the one who used the iron cloud wood table without permission.”

“Let me introduce you to Master Alchemist Mara,” Grand Duke Edwina said as she gestured to Master Mara.

“Master Mara,” Abel said in admiration as he saw the Master Alchemist in from him, “I, the Bennett intermediate alchemist, am pleased to be in your presence.”.

Master Mara said respectfully, “No need to be so polite, Alchemist of Bennett. I am only an honorary master, not a real alchemist. Actually, What you did just then has already far surpassed what I am capable of.”

It was hard to blame Master Mara. Every Master alchemist would have been shocked by what Abel just did. Not only was Abel capable of producing blue quality potions consistently, but he also produced two flashes of light in a row. Even for the best of the alchemists, something like that was simply just extraordinary.

In fact, this was also because Grand Duke Edwina and Master Mara came at the right time. When Abel was fusing, he was in a state of epiphany. The brain overclocked and accelerated, and although every action at the time seemed fast to outsiders, it was very slow for an overclocked brain. And it wasn’t like he didn’t have any practices before, too. Since he’s already perfected the moves in his mental simulation, it wasn’t hard for him to perform them out without flaws.

Actually, there were still some differences between an imaginary brew and an actual one. While there were a lot of factors to consider in a real-life brew, the changes were often subtle and thus hard to notice. Yet, it was often these differences that were crucial in affecting the chances of producing a flash of light.

The closer Abel was to his ideal brew, the easier it was to have a flash of light. When Abel shortened the time and processing process for the materials, he managed to perfectly execute the moves, which was why he produced two flashes of light in a row.

“You’re too humble, Master Mara. I am just a novice who has barely touched alchemy before. I’m sure that there’s going to be a lot for me to learn,” Abel bowed and said slightly.

“What!? You just started learning alchemy?” Master Mara shouted in disbelief as she turned to look at Grand Duke Edwina, to which Grand Duke Edwina nodded slightly to confirm.

Master Mara said earnestly, “Alchemist of Bennett, I came to ask you about the “elven perfume ” you fused, but after I witnessed how your make your brew, I notice how huge the gap is between a genius and a regular elf. Please, if you have the free time to spare, come to my alchemy room, and I’ll share my recipes with you.”

Master Mara was a person who loved talented people. It was definitely a good thing to have such an alchemist genius among the elves. Besides, judging from a lot of things she was observing, she knew that the relationship between Grand Duke Edwina and Bennett Alchemist was not unusual.
