The Genius Mage Chapter 224 - Give Pointers

Chapter 224: Give Pointers

After pa.s.sing through the door and the long corridor, they arrived at a s.p.a.cious hall that exuded an air of n.o.bility. On the throne in front of them sat a man in a long robe.

Audrey gave him a faint glance. That must be Lord Walp.

Looking at Henry’s disgusted expression, she could not help but be more certain.

On both sides of the hall, there were two rows of people. From their bodies, one could faintly smell the faint smell of herbs, but most of them were low-level herbs. It could be seen that these people’s alchemy skills were not high.

As soon as the three of them walked in, Walp immediately stood up.

“Dempsey, you’re finally here.” Walp had a smile on his face, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. He walked forward and said, “These are all newly elected alchemists, but their skills are not very high. Give me some pointers.”

“Lord Walp really thinks highly of me. Every time something like this happens, you think of me.” Dempsey snorted coldly, his tone arrogant.

This was in line with her personality. Although Audrey did not know what the relations.h.i.+p between the two was, she could feel the enmity between them.

“What are you saying? You’re the most powerful alchemist in our city.” Lord Walp’s words of flattery were actually meant to flatter Dempsey so that he would not be able to refuse.

“Hmph, they haven’t even reached the intermediate level. It’s fine if you give them pointers.” Dempsey looked at the alchemists disdainfully. However, they were ordinary and did not have any talent.

The alchemists standing on both sides did not dare to say anything because everyone was teaching Dempsey temper. Whoever dared to provoke him would probably die without even knowing how.

“Dempsey, as the most powerful alchemist, it is your fault to give pointers to the younger generation and nurture talents.” City Lord Walp’s expression changed, and his tone became serious.

The atmosphere between the two instantly became tense.

However, a moment later, Dempsey retracted the dangerous aura around him and turned to Audrey. “Audrey, go and guide them. Let me see how good you are.”

The girl who had been pointed out was suddenly stunned.

Based on Dempsey’s personality, he should not have compromised like this. It seemed like it was as he had guessed. Walp had grasped some of Dempsey’s weaknesses.

“Alright,” Audrey replied obediently with an indifferent expression.

Today, the alchemists who had come to study were going to make middle-grade repair potions. For Audrey, it was a piece of cake.

Just as Audrey was about to step forward, City Lord Walp spoke.

“The person I invited is you, not this little girl. Are you trying to fool me with her?” City Lord Walp clearly looked down on Audrey, this little girl whom he had never met before and who had no reputation in the city.

“I don’t dare to accept your invitation,” Dempsey said in a bad mood. “She’s my new a.s.sistant today. It’s not inappropriate for me to take this opportunity to test her.”

City Lord Walp frowned slightly and gave Audrey a meaningful look. Then, he waved his hand and agreed.

There were herbs and reagents prepared in the hall. The members-only needed to use these herbs to make a bottle of recovery medicine.

Looking at their fl.u.s.tered expressions, Audrey frowned and curled her lips.

Half an hour later, some of them had finished making the medicine, while others were in a mess. City Lord Walp had also shouted for them to stop. The time was up, and those who had not made the medicine would naturally be eliminated.

There were more than half of them who had made it. Audrey stepped forward and looked at them one by one.

“Although this bottle of yours has been made, the potion is too turbid. The roots of the herbs haven’t been cleaned properly.”

“There’s a mistake in your formula. If you drink this bottle, it won’t be repaired. Instead, it will be more serious.”

…

It did not take long for Audrey to point out everyone’s problems.

The students present all had looks of disbelief on their faces.

Besides them, there was a hint of surprise in Dempsey’s eyes. He had not expected Audrey to have such a level of skill. Just based on her pointers, Dempsey could tell that Audrey’s alchemy skills were at least middle-high level.

However, it was not just that. Audrey had concealed a portion of her strength and did not reveal any small mistakes.

After all, this was her first time in this country. It was best not to attract too much attention.

“Well said.” Dempsey clapped his hands and cheered, his face showing a little pride. It was as though Audrey had won him glory.

City Lord Walp had not expected such a situation. He had also changed his view of Audrey.

“What’s your name?”

“Audrey,” she answered softly.

“Audrey?” City Lord Walp said the name meaningfully, a complicated look flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes. Then, he suddenly turned to Dempsey and said, “Are you sure what she said just now was right? Was it not you guys who fooled me together?”

As the City Lord, Walp was not particularly good at alchemy, so he asked this question.

“If the City Lord asks this question, then I have nothing to say.” Dempsey face sank as he said, “Audrey, show them how it’s done.”

With the guidance just now, Dempsey was certain that Audrey could do it.
