Journey to the witch world

"Newcomer?" Byron frowned and said with some displeasure, "The commission I gave at the mission office requires the applicant to master the basics of potions and have some practical experience!"

"I have learned about the specific requirements at the mission office." Enzo said without being humble or overbearing.

Byron's frown deepened, and the expression on his face was a little ugly.

‘The mission office’s system is still imperfect, and there are always people who want to try their luck here. ’

'A guy who has just entered school and has probably not even read a few books on the classification of pharmaceuticals dares to apply for a job as a laboratory assistant. It is really arrogant. ’ Byron was a little annoyed.

"Forget it, you're already here anyway, so just follow the rules and give it a try." Shaking his head, Byron put on a straight face and said coldly, "Since you want to apply for my assistant, then answer me first. Just a few questions.”

"Please feel free to ask questions." Enzo looked calm.

"First question: What are the main ingredients of the potion [vital potion]?" Byron asked.

"Spring water of life, bisnail root juice, and a small amount of silver deer antler powder."

Enzo replied without thinking.

Byron raised his eyebrows and continued to ask, "Second question: As we all know, the tail feathers of the monster 'Harpy' are a rare material that is required in the configuration of many potions, and related to it, it is the most representative What is one of the magic potions?”

"Banshee's Wail Potion!" Enzo once again gave the answer.

"Not bad! It seems that you do know some knowledge about potions."

Byron was obviously a little surprised when Enzo answered his question simply.

He narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice.

"The third question: In the third era, the wizarding civilization once launched a war against the shadow world. The Seventh Expeditionary Army arrived in the shadow world under the leadership of many high-level wizards, but was subsequently rejected by the original will of the shadow world. A large number of expedition soldiers were haunted by nightmares and died silently."

"In order to resist the shadow will, the fourth-level wizard 'Matilda' developed a new type of magic potion using local materials. This allowed the soldiers to resist the nightmare. What is the name of that potion?"

After raising the third question, Byron looked at Enzo with a hint of expectation.

Different from the first two basic questions, the third question is extremely unpopular knowledge. If you don't master a lot of potions knowledge, it is impossible to answer it.

"It should be the [Sleepless Heart] potion!"

Although the chip gave the answer immediately, Enzo pretended to think for a moment and spoke after more than ten seconds.

"Yes, the correct answer." Byron's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and said in surprise, "You can even answer such an unpopular question correctly. It seems that you are indeed qualified to apply for my assistant."

"The next step is the final level."

Byron said, pointing his finger in front of him, gesturing for Enzo to enter the experimental table.

"Here is the most basic secondary magic potion, but it is not completed yet. It is only in a semi-finished state." Byron picked up an khaki test tube, shook it in his hand and said, "My laboratory is fully equipped. As long as you If you can complete this secondary magic potion, you can become my experimental assistant!"

"[Stamina Potion]?" Enzo took the test tube, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.

"That's right, a semi-finished physical strength potion." Byron spread his palms with an interested expression on his face.

"No problem!" Taking a deep breath, Enzo turned his gaze to the experimental table and said in his mind: "Chip, transfer all the information about [Stamina Potion], and simulate the preparation."

"Next, let's get started!"

A trace of solemnity appeared in Enzo's eyes, and his hands began to move.

"The semi-finished [physical strength potion] has been basically completed in terms of material preparation, so it does not require too many complicated procedures. It only needs to neutralize some subsequent ingredients and stimulate the effect of the medicine."

"First, step one."

The chip in his mind was running rapidly, constantly giving out information one after another. Enzo concentrated on it, focusing all his attention on the experimental table, and started to move in an orderly manner.

The earthy yellow liquid in the test tube was poured into the beaker, and the black candlestick below lit up the flame.

A smell similar to rosin spread in the laboratory, and the yellow liquid in the beaker slowly boiled. According to the instructions of the chip, Enzo first ground some dead wood and grass into powder, and then guided his mental power to control the fire of the candlestick.

‘Not bad, my mentality and actions are very calm! ’

On the side, Byron also paid attention to the movement on the experimental table. After seeing Enzo's methodical movements, he couldn't help but look strange and nodded frequently.

After a while, the procedures were gradually completed.

"The next step is the last step."

The liquid in the beaker became more turbid, and the smell wafted out became stronger.

Enzo's face was solemn and he stared straight ahead. Under the prompts of the chip, he slowly released his mental power and threw it into the beaker in the form of silk thread, which continued to merge and spread.

Bah! !

There was a sound from the beaker, and Enzo immediately extinguished the flame on the candlestick. At the same time, he carefully picked up the beaker, picked up the test tube that had been prepared, and poured the boiling liquid in the beaker into it.

"Stamina potion, completed!"

After the yellow liquid entered the test tube, it cooled down quickly, but the clear smell wafted out. Even before he looked carefully, Byron was basically sure that Enzo's experiment was successful.

"The smell is strong and the color is normal."

After taking the test tube handed over by Enzo, Byron shook it slightly and quickly came to a conclusion.

"Congratulations on passing the test. From today on, you will be my assistant."

"Thank you, Mr. Byron." Enzo also had a smile on his face.

"I really didn't expect that a newcomer who just entered school could complete the potion preparation independently." Looking at the test tube in his hand, Byron couldn't help but shook his head slightly and sighed, "Although it is a semi-finished product, when I achieved this step, It took half a year."

"It seems you are a real genius!" Byron looked directly at Enzo, his eyes burning.

Geniuses are often uneasy when they are noticed by countless people.

"You're flattered, Mr. Byron." Enzo's heart tightened, he quickly touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Although I haven't been in school for a long time, before entering the academy, I had obtained the wizard's inheritance and also studied potions. It’s been a long time.”

"Oh, so that's it!" Byron suddenly realized, and all doubts in his heart were dispelled.
