dark witches rise

Chapter 173 Mission Impossible
"Is there any problem?" Roja asked.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Vik Pharmacist, you still have a pharmacy task that you haven't completed, so you can't accept a new pharmacy task." The counter lady stammered.

"Is that so?" Roja held his head and pretended to be working hard, but he couldn't remember it for a while because of the injury, "I don't know what the potion mission is?"

Facing Roja's inquiry, the counter lady swallowed nervously.

The strange attitude of the counter lady made the people around couldn't help but move their eyes to look over. What kind of potion task did Vik accept that made the counter lady so nervous.

"Elementary pharmacy task, one thousand bottles of ox blood pharmacy, and the time limit is one month." The counter lady said with difficulty.

hiss--

Everyone around them took a deep breath when they heard this task.

Maisie on the side grabbed the counter lady's collar even more violently, and asked: "Tracey, how could my Master Vic accept such a task!"

"I, I don't know...I, I..." The counter lady Triss flipped through Vic's mission file, "It does say that this mission was written three days ago, and I didn't work here three days ago , so I don’t know what’s going on.”

"Return immediately!" Maisie said loudly.

"It can't be done, because one thousand bottles at a time is too much, and the amount involved is too large, the gambling agreement has already been signed, and..."

The lady at the counter, Triss, had an extremely ugly expression, "According to the records above, [-] copies of the ingredients for refining the ox blood potion have been given to Master Vic in advance."

"So..." The counter lady Triss said helplessly, "This task cannot be withdrawn at all."

After hearing what the counter lady Triss said, everyone present could have guessed that this was a game against Vic!

According to the different raw materials used in refining medicines, medicines are divided into three schools: herbs, beasts, and ores.

Among them, the herbal school is the most prosperous, and more than 70.00% of the pharmacists are herbal schools.

Vic belongs to the herbal school.

As the name suggests, the ox blood potion is a primary potion made from ox blood as the main material, belonging to the beast school.

It is necessary to know that the materials used, refining techniques... etc. are very different between different schools.

A senior pharmacist of the herbal medicine school may not even be able to practice a junior pharmacist of the beast school.

The only good news is that it is not the potion of the ore genre, which is the most difficult and the most different from the herbal medicine genre, otherwise there is really no hope of completion.

But even if it is relatively easy to refine ox blood potion, it takes a month to refine a thousand bottles?

The refining difficulty of elementary potions is much lower than that of advanced potions, which does not mean that the refining time of primary potions will be shorter than that of high-level potions!
It doesn't even mean that senior pharmacists can refine primary potions, and the refining time can be shortened!

Will a professional chef take less time to cook a pot of rice than an ordinary housewife?
Even the most skilled person can refine up to twelve bottles of ox blood potion a day, and it will take nearly ninety days to refine a thousand bottles.

Generally speaking, the task can be returned.

But the gambling agreement has already been signed.

They also took away [-] copies of pharmaceutical raw materials.

How to return the task?

Faced with a task that is absolutely impossible no matter how you think about it.

Vic, a top talented pharmacist in the outer courtyard of the Young Lions Academy, is expected to become a senior pharmacist in the future. How could he do such a self-destructive thing?
You don't need to think about it to know that there must be a conspiracy.

And the people present are smart people.

"Why would Vic take on this potion mission?"

"Hehe, do you think he looks like that kind of idiot?"

"Vic is one of the best talents in our outer court. If the last inner court spot is chosen among the current people in our Young Lions Court, he is one of the most likely candidates."

"Yeah, there are only one or two people who can compete with him."

During the low-pitched discussion, the pharmacists present already guessed who was playing tricks.

But they were not familiar with Vic, so there was no need to offend anyone for Vic.

Anyway, the number of seats in the inner court has nothing to do with them. Whoever gets a seat in the inner court is just an after-dinner conversation piece for them, and they don't care at all.

In the mission building, the pharmacists who didn't want to lie in the muddy water left in a hurry.

Maisie asked the counter lady Triss angrily, "Which guy did it? Who is harming my Master Vic?"

"You weren't here three days ago, so you don't know?"

"Who was in charge of this three days ago?"

"Say it to me!"

"Let's go to that guy and confront him why he did that!"

Faced with Maisie's angry questioning, the counter lady Triss looked helpless.

"Forget it." Roja stopped Maisie.

"But Master Vic..." Maisie was still unwilling to let go.

"Miss Triss is just a laborer, this matter has nothing to do with her, don't embarrass her." Roja persuaded.

"I didn't make things difficult for her? I just asked her to tell who was behind the scenes?" Maisie argued.

"Ok?"

Roja's eyes froze.

"...I'm sorry." Maisie let go of Triss, and stood obediently behind Roja.

"Sorry, my disobedient maid has caused you trouble." Roja apologized.

"No, it's okay." Triss nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I can't help you with this matter, if you need help, Master Vic, just ask me, I will try my best to satisfy you of."

"Thank you."

Roja took Maisie away from the mission building.

"Master Vic, let's leave this matter alone? It's impossible to complete a thousand bottles of ox blood potion a month!" Maisie said.

"I will find a way." Roja replied.

"any solution?"

Meissie, who was about to wait for Roja's answer, looked at the few people who walked over talking and laughing, her eyes suddenly became extremely fierce.

She clenched her fists tightly, wanting to rush up and grab the collar of the person who walked in front, and question him like she questioned Triss just now.

But the other party is a noble pharmacist, and she is not something her little maid can offend.

She whispered in Roja's ear: "Master Vic, it must be that Heidi framed you in this matter."

"In the outer court, his strength has always been a bit weaker than yours, and he has always been very dissatisfied with this."

"And his uncle is the steward of the mission building..."

Mei Xi had just spoken halfway, seeing Heidi's group who had already walked in front of her, she could only temporarily suppress her anger and shut her mouth.

"Hey, isn't this Master Vic?" Heidi showed a surprised expression as if he only noticed Vic at this time.

Roja ignored him and prepared to leave.

But Heidi obviously didn't want to let Roja go like this.

I saw Heidi winking at the younger brothers beside him, and those younger brothers immediately blocked Roja's way and did not let Roja leave.

After knowing that the other party will not let you go easily.

Roja sighed softly and looked at the man named Heidi.

Heidi is about 20 years old, with a pointed head and a slightly protruding face, and looks very mean.

Heidi's medicine level is one of the best in the outer courtyard, second only to Vic, but the difference is not too big.

But is it really not that big?

Heidi is already 20 years old, and Vic is only sixteen or seventeen years old. There is a full three-year age difference. As a result, the level of pharmacy is still weaker than Vic.

What does this represent?
The pharmacy talents representing the two of them are not at the same level at all!

Even if Haidi's potential exploded in the last month and he ranked higher than Vic, considering the difference in age and talent, in the eyes of those big figures who could determine their fate, he was still not as good as Vic.

Heidi stared at Roja with squinted eyes, and the depths of her pupils were filled with jealousy and hatred.

"Master Vic, I heard that you have accepted a mission of a thousand bottles of ox blood potion?"

"I always thought, Master Vic, that you were from the herbal school, but I didn't expect you to be proficient in the beast school."

"And a thousand bottles of ox blood potion a month, tsk tsk tsk..."

"This level is probably unmatched in the entire Scarborough Fair, right?"

"Let us congratulate Master Vic in advance for entering the inner courtyard."

Heidi and his little brother clapped their hands "snap bang bang".

Heidi seemed to be saying friendly blessings, but his tone was full of sarcasm, and the distorted expression showed that he wanted Roja to disappear forever.

"Heidi, do you know? There is only one seat left in the inner court." Roja suddenly spoke nonsense.

"What do you want to express?" Heidi narrowed his eyes and stared at Roja.

"Do you know who the four people who have entered the inner courtyard are?" Roja asked calmly.

"Who doesn't know this kind of thing? Do you think I'm a fool?" Heidi said viciously.

Ignoring Heidi's barking, Roja introduced it on his own.

"The first place in the Inner Court was taken by Miss Alma, the daughter of the president of the Scarborough Fair Apothecaries' Union branch."

"Miss Elma is known as the potion elf. She has shown extraordinary talent in pharmacy since she was a child. She was able to refine elementary potions when she was less than eight years old. I heard that she is already a pharmacist at the age of 14. The level of pharmacy is not inferior to her. Father's senior pharmacist."

"It is rumored that a potion master in Green City has booked her as a personal student."

"The second place goes to Miss Tina from the Cyril family, one of the two dukes of our Tallinn Empire."

"Miss Tina has the dominant bloodline talent of the Duke Cyril's family, the purple gold magic pupil, which can see the flow and changes of medicinal materials and medicinal effects, and can play a great auxiliary role in the refining process of medicines."

"The third place is Master Aaron from the Earl Kailan family of the pharmacy family."

"Master Aaron has the legendary physique of taking medicine. Just take a little bit of any medicine, you can identify the medicinal properties, year, composition and other information of the medicine. He is a natural pharmacist."

"As for the fourth place, it will be won by Ferguson, the genius among geniuses."

"I heard that Ferguson, who came out of the slums and doesn't know a single word, has only been in contact with pharmacy for two years, and he has already been able to refine intermediate-level pharmacy by himself. The level of pharmacy is no less than you and me."

Roja stared into Heidi's eyes, "Which one of them do you think you can compare to?"

"You, what do you mean?" Heidi was puzzled.

"Do you think that since there is still a place in the inner court, one of the most powerful people in the outer court will definitely be selected?"

Roja shook his head, "You are so wrong!"

"The people in the inner courtyard are all recommended by the Pharmacist's Union as registered students for potion masters. Their pharmacy level and talent in pharmacy need a threshold."

"Either he already has the ability to refine high-level pharmacy, or he is a pharmacy genius like Ferguson."

"you?"

Roja sneered, "It's not that I look down on you, even if you get me down and become No.1 in the outer court, do you think you can enter the inner court?"

"You—" Heidi stared at Roja, his face turned pale, "Why do you blame me for the potion mission you greedily accepted? You dare to continue talking nonsense, believe it or not, I will ask my uncle to drive you out Cub house?"

"Hehe, why don't you let him try it? He's just a manager, and he still wants to threaten me?" Roja sneered, "Do you know what my full name is? Vic Cyril!"

"It's just a branched and declining family. A guy whose father is just a baron really thinks he's from Duke Cyril's family?" Heidi yelled loudly, but his tone made people feel out of breath.

"You said that if I cried out to Miss Tina from the Cyril family about your persecution of me in public, what do you think will happen to you?"

"You can't please yourself by doing this!"

"You're really pushing me, I'll do that."

Roja directly pushed away the little guy who was blocking the way, and walked away with Mei Xi.

Behind Roja, Heidi's face was changing unsightly.

"Brother Heidi, if he really sues Miss Tina, what should we do?"

"Even if that Vic was only from the family of the Duke of Cyril hundreds of years ago, his surname is Cyril. If things get serious, we won't be able to get along."

"Sure enough, we shouldn't have attacked him. He is not those weak little guys who have no backing that we have allowed us to knead in the past!"

Looking at those shaken younger brothers, Heidi said angrily:

"What are you afraid of?"

"But Brother Heidi..."

"There's nothing wrong with that! That Vik spoke so arrogantly, and even sued Miss Tina? He just dared to speak harshly, but he didn't dare to do anything in the end? Didn't he just silently accept a thousand bottles of bull blood potion? This impossible task?"

"That's right, he just said something cruel."

"Hey, I want to see how a pharmacist who specializes in herbal medicine can refine a thousand bottles of cow blood potion in a month!"

"Don't talk about refining, he doesn't even have the materials. He's a poor man from the baron family. If he wants to spend money to buy materials outside, he doesn't even have the money to buy them?"

Haidi and his party, who had been shaken violently by Roja's words, regained their former self-confidence in a few words.

It's just that Heidi's face is still a bit ugly.

He left his younger brothers and walked towards the mission building without saying a word.
