Chapter 658: 658

Just, as usual, Wizard Cyril came to the alchemy mission spot located inside Miracle City . He was there to do some low-tier alchemy missions . He was already an intermediate alchemist, but his skills weren’t enough for him to take the missions that would give him more war glory points .

He was halfway through the mission that would give him 1 war glory point in reward . Today, he came to receive the raw materials for his next few days’ work . It was not like he’s never considered doing the missions that would give 10 war glory points, but so far, he needed practice to really get that mastery going .

“I’ve brewed these . Take them and give me the next stock . ”

Wizard Cyril was in a grumpy mood . There were several reasons for this . First off, K3516 wasn’t showing him any respect, and that made him lose a lot of face in front of others . Secondly, it was only a few days before he would have to go to the Orc Empires, but he was only halfway through completing his potion-brewing mission . This was a cold reminder of how mediocre he really was .

Wizard Cyril didn’t take this mission for the war glory points . As he was getting closer to becoming a “real” intermediate alchemist, he wanted to save up as many raw materials as he could get . Doing the potion-brewing mission was the perfect way of doing that . The low-tier ingredients were very expensive to buy, and once his success rate started to go up, he’d be able to save up more ingredients for himself from taking the job . It was the reason he had to get it done quickly . If he couldn’t finish on time, he wouldn’t be able to take the job this year anymore .

The staff member said apologetically, “So sorry, Wizard Cyril . You don’t have the permission to take the ingredients . ”

“WHAT? What are you talking about? I’m halfway on this mission; what are you talking about?”

Nothing was going smoothly for Wizard Cyril today . He got turned down by Abel during the day, and now, he got turned down from being able to do his job .

“Ahem, ” the staff member tried to act professionally, “If you wish to object to what is happening to you, Wizard Cyril, please contact the miracle spirit for it . ”

As soon as Wizard Cyril took out his war glory tag, a message started to show up .

“Cyril the intermediate wizard, the Alchemist Union has banned all supply of alchemy ingredients to you . You will be aborted from the alchemy mission you are doing now . You will also be permanently banned from taking any alchemy-related missions . ”

Wizard Cyril was more shocked than annoyed, “How? What did I do to have this happen to me?”

All that for abusing a junior wizard . Like a madman in heat, Wizard Cyril ran out of the retrieval point . He then used his “instantaneous movement” spell to move to the exit teleportation portal at Miracle City . Whether it was his mana or his war glory points, he didn’t care about saving either one of them .

After teleporting to Logan City, which was the closest city he could move, Wizard Cyril tried to buy some ingredients off a shop that he found .

A staff member said in a very polite tone, “I’m so sorry for this, sir; you don’t have the authority to buy any ingredients that are within the category of alchemy-related goods . Is there anything else I can help you with?”

Wizard Cyril was almost crying at this point, “I… Can I-I pl-please, please tell me who did this to me? I-I, h-he-he, who was the one that’s stopping me from buying alchemy ingredients?”

“I’m very sorry for what you’re going through, sir, but that is something that’s beyond what I am authorised to help you with . If you want to know more about this, please contact higher-ups of the Alchemist Union . ”

That was a very sensible answer . It seemed too standard, however . So standard, in fact, Wizard Cyril actually couldn’t sense any sort of hope from it . He still had his teacher, though . Maybe he’d do something to help .

The name was Clapham . Advanced Alchemist Clapham . Wizard Cyril tried to use the teleportation circle to get to his teacher, and of course, the Alchemist Union wasn’t going to stop him from doing that .

Wizard Cyril was extremely devastated, “Sir! Sir! Sir! I was just told, I was j-just told that I got banned from getting access to any alchemy ingredients . C-can you look it up for me? I’m really, I just, I just I can’t-”

By the way, Wizard Cyril never had any talent as a wizard . If he couldn’t abuse a huge amount of potions, it’d be over for his career both as an alchemist and a wizard .

Alchemist Clapham tried to keep it calm, “Right, right, would you just stop crying like the baby now? Don’t worry about it . You know me . I’m pretty respected in the Alchemist Union . And what did you do, exactly?”

Wizard Cyril cried even louder, “I’ve been at the Miracle City this who-whole time! How-how I was, how was I doing anything wrong?”

“Right, that’s good . You didn’t do anything wrong . That’s all I need to hear . Let me ask an old friend of mine, alright? Stay right where you are . Nothing’s going to go bad for you, I promise . ”

“You promise?”

“Yeah . Get something to wipe your face, alright?”

Alchemist Clapham was an advanced alchemist . Even if Wizard Cyril did end up offending someone, it would usually be over with a few talks . It’s not the first time he’s ever done this . He was pretty confident in his ability to smooth this down .

Soon, Alchemist Clapham made contact with a manager at the human Alchemist Union . The name was Afonso, the advanced wizard . The two of them had been good friends for many years .

“Hey, Afonso! My friend! Um, so why did Cyril’s name get on the blacklist? I know the rules . This stuff doesn’t happen unless it’s directed from someone at my rank . ”

Afonso said in a serious voice, “Clapham, this is big . If you ask me, I’d tell you not to get involved . ”

“Well, can you at least tell me who did this first?”

“It happened this morning . The elves explicitly told us not to provide any ingredients to Wizard Cyril . I’m sure you know this better than I do . Once the elven branch says something, we can’t do or say anything otherwise . ”

Alchemist Clapham persisted, “Can I get a name or something? Who was the one that, you know, called the shots on this one?”

“Don’t you get it already?” a sigh came through the call, “A demand? No, it was a complete threat from the elves . The order was forced on all the branches we have on the Holy Continent . Who else could it be?”

Afonso paused a bit before continuing, “Let’s just stop right here . Cyril is already ruined . Don’t ruin yourself as well, friend . I’ll hang up the call . ”

That’s where it ended . Alchemist Clapham continued to sit without moving at all . He knew that the request came from an alchemist order . As for the rest, he just wasn’t sure how he could break the news to his student .

At the same time, Wizard Cyril had been waiting for Alchemist Clapham for a whole day . Everything just felt cold to him by this point .
