Starting Life as a Baron - Chapter 57: The Desolate Potions Master

“Soon, I will be able to have my own sailors, but I don’t think these trained sailors will be able to participate in the war.”

Alan pondered while inspecting the territory. “Because of the Earl, I should not have to worry too much about the problem of ships and sailors. However, the talents that should be trained must be trained.”

Alan leisurely walked into the small town and happened to see a middle-aged man in a long robe who seemed to have experienced some vicissitudes of life.

He was in the small square of Rose Town.

When he saw Alan, a gleam of light flashed through his eyes.

“My Lord, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Nick and I am a primary magic potion master.”

Nick bowed slightly to Alan in his robe.

A slight smile flashed in Alan’s eyes. This was his potion master.

“Hello Nick, I have been waiting for you for a long time.”

Alan said meaningfully.

Nick was taken aback when he heard this. He did not expect Alan to say that.

“My Lord, are you waiting for me?”

Nick was a little confused. How was this possible?

He had never told anyone when he came to Rose Town, so how could this young Lord know that he was coming and waiting for him?

“There’s no need to doubt. I have received enlightenment from the gods. I guess you must have come to join me.”

Alan said indifferently.

Nick was silent because he was indeed here to join this young Lord.

“That’s right, My Lord. I’m here to serve you.”

Alan smiled. “I told you I know. Let’s go. Follow me to the castle.”

Originally, Alan had planned to patrol the territory, but now it seemed that there was no need. There were more important things waiting for him.

“… Yes, My Lord.”

Nick opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not say anything.

He had prepared a lot of words, hoping to convince this Lord, but he never thought that he would be called away by Alan before he could say anything.

What was happening here?

Although Nick was a little confused, he still followed Alan back to his castle.

“You are a primary magic potion master, so you should be able to make primary magic potions, right?”

Alan was sitting on the sofa, talking slightly comfortably.

Nick nodded. “In fact, I’m about to become an Intermediate Potion Master  …”

“Very good. First, prepare a potion for me to see.”

Alan ordered the maids to bring two magic plants.

Soon, the maids walked in with some magic peas and magic wheat.

“Mr. Nick, please begin your performance.”

Alan looked at Nick with interest.

Nick did not hesitate when he heard that. He opened a small wooden box that he carried with him and took out some tools that he needed to make potions.

When Alan saw this, he was a little surprised. Those things looked like glass test tubes.

There were also some bottles and jars.

It looked like the potion master was more like a… chemistry teacher?

Alan silently complained in his heart, but he did not disturb Nick as he began to make magic potions.

The potion master’s profession was to extract the magic power contained in the magic plants and combine them to achieve the best effect.

Magic was a kind of energy that could be absorbed by mages as well as knights.

A good potion master could perfectly combine the magic powers of the two magic plants to obtain a more powerful and gentle potion.

Soon, under Nick’s control, drops of magic liquid emitting white light were extracted from the wheat.

Nick slowly mixed this magic liquid with the green magic liquid extracted from the magic peas.

However, with his skillful techniques and techniques, Nick did not spend too much time making a bottle of crystal-clear pale green magic potion.

“My Lord, the potion is ready. Do you want to try it?”

Nick seemed extremely confident.

Alan smiled and nodded. He took the magic potion and drank it.

Immediately afterward, he could feel a new power appear in his body.

Alan used his battle Qi to quickly refine this energy.

“It is indeed effective, but it is not very effective for silver knights.”

Alan nodded slightly.

“My Lord, this is only a primary potion, and the silver knight needs an intermediate potion.”

Nick said with a bitter smile.

“Well, you just said that you were about to be promoted to an intermediate potion master?”

Alan raised his eyebrows slightly.

He knew the value of potions.

After all, this profession required a lot of magic plants to practice, and every potion master spent a lot of gold coins. That was why being a potion master was a costly and noble profession.

In fact, even in Earl Albert’s castle, there were only two intermediate magic potion masters. After all, a lot of money was needed to train a junior magic potion master into an intermediate magic potion master and it also depended on the potion master’s own potential.

Even if a noble was willing to train a junior magic potion master, he might not be able to train a junior magic potion master into an intermediate magic potion master.

Only one out of a hundred junior potion masters could grow into an intermediate potion master.

The preciousness of an intermediate potion master could be imagined.

“Yes, My Lord, I’m about to be promoted,”

Nick gave a small smile.
