Chapter 53 Granger the Wizard, Potions Strategic Support Department!
"Baker!"
Ian looked at the figure not far away, still thin, with a new star on his chest badge!
He followed behind Doug.
"Advanced to novice alchemist in five months, that's quite a talent for potion making!"
Ian's eyes flickered.
Baker will definitely try to get into the training sequence, but becoming an intermediate apothecary is probably out of the question; he'll probably have to advance to a second-class wizard.
I just don't know how many spiritual energy runes it has condensed.
Five months ago, there were already ten of these people; now there are probably at least thirteen or fourteen.
"So this is second-rate talent!"
Ian felt a pang of envy.
Including the eliminated servant wizards, there must have been at least eight hundred to a thousand people in Ian's cohort, but only three of them had second-class talent.
In addition, those with wizarding talent are already one in a hundred among ordinary people, making them one in tens of thousands.
"But I'll be there soon too!"
Ian's gaze was resolute.
His talent level is now 215, only 35 points away from 250. He should be close to that in a few months.
Came back to his senses.
Ian turned his attention back to the meeting.
Today's meeting has a simple agenda: to determine the specifics of going to the front lines.
It has nothing to do with Ian, so Ian just listens.
The meeting ended quickly.
The crowd dispersed.
Ian went up to the third floor and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Ian went in and saw Vivian sitting behind the table, with another person in front of the table.
The man with the large beard was the wizard who had glared at him during the meeting earlier.
Seeing Ian enter, his eyes widened even more, and he glared at Vivian, stroking his beard and saying:
"Minister, I absolutely disagree. Why should our lab bear Ian's share, especially since his share is two to three times that of an ordinary pharmacist?"
It seemed like he was speaking to Vivian, but it was more like he was speaking to Ian as he entered.
Ian was also taken aback.
With a little thought, I understood what had happened.
It turned out that his mission wasn't canceled, but rather directly transferred to another laboratory by Vivian.
And his share was actually more than that of ordinary wizards?
Whoohoo!
"Granger, please calm down!" Vivian remained calm, as if nothing had happened.
"I can't stay calm. I've already taken on this for a month. You'd better not hand over the new month's ministerial assignment to me, or who knows what I'll submit..."
The pharmacist named Granger turned to look at Ian, his eyes wide and round.
"Okay, I'll consider assigning his task to another laboratory." Vivian nodded.
Then he turned to Ian and said, "Ian, there's no need to feel pressured. What's wrong?"
Granger, satisfied with his goal, stood aside.
Ian glanced at Granger; he had originally been looking for new materials, but now...
"Don't worry, Granger is my most trusted subordinate. Just tell me what you need to say." Vivian waved her hand.
Ian nodded and said, "Minister, I've also reached the first stage of channeling magic. I'd like to apply for an advanced potion recipe!"
Vivian's eyes lit up immediately.
Only a month has passed since then, and he truly lives up to his reputation as a potion-making genius.
"Okay, go ahead and buy it."
Vivian nodded.
"Don't we need to test?" Ian asked, puzzled.
Vivian shook her head: "No need. Your wizarding inheritance has already entered the first stage, and the success rate of the potions you submitted before was about 50% to 60%, so it's about right."
That saves a lot of trouble.
Ian nodded.
As for why the success rate is only 50% to 60%, it's because he often deliberately damages part of the potion.
Otherwise, achieving an 80-90% success rate for a magic potion in just half a month would be truly outrageous.
Granger, standing to the side, was completely stunned by what he heard.
"Wait... Advanced potions... the inheritance has already entered the first stage?"
Granger said he could understand each word individually, but he didn't understand how they were put together.
Ian has only had the inheritance for less than two months.
"So, in just two months, he not only entered the first stage of the inheritance, but also learned how to make several kinds of magic potions?"
By the time Granger realized what was happening, his eyes widened in surprise!
Oh my god!
Is this even human?
In an instant, as if making some kind of decision, Granger stepped forward.
"Is something the matter?" Vivian turned to look at Granger.
"There's no minister involved. Ian is being targeted by Doug, which is a waste of time, so I'll give his share to Granger," Granger said righteously.
"Don't worry, I can hand it over to other labs." Vivian said with a half-smile.
"What are you saying, Minister? Don't you know who I am?"
Granger patted his chest, looking heartbroken.
He felt he would definitely regret it later if he didn't cultivate a good relationship with this genius pharmacist now.
"Not only that, Ian, didn't you need an advanced potion recipe? I'll also cover the first one."
Granger looked at Ian and gave him a friendly smile.
"good!"
Even Vivian's usually calm face couldn't help but chuckle.
He was just kid Ian a moment ago, now he's Ian.
Ian, watching from the side, was also stunned.
But judging from the meaning...
He can save money on buying the formula?
Keep in mind that the recipe for an advanced potion in the library starts at 30 magic stones.
I was worried about it!
"but......"
I glanced at Minister Vivian's faint smile.
Could it be that she deliberately arranged for the two of them to meet?
......
"Brother Ian, come find me at the lab later."
Granger patted Ian on the shoulder and left satisfied, as if he had encountered some joyous occasion!
"Don't worry about Granger, he used to be my father's assistant!"
Vivian looked at Ian again and said.
"Father?"
Ian's eyes flickered.
"My father used to be a wizard of the Horton school of wizardry and also worked in the Potions Department. He was the vice minister, with the same power as Doug is now. But Doug gradually grew stronger and became what he is now. Then I joined the Potions Department."
Vivian narrated calmly.
Ian is now practically a confidant to him, so there are some things he can tell Ian.
"So my dream, besides becoming a full-fledged wizard, is to regain control of the Potions Department."
Vivian's gaze was distant.
Ian was also somewhat surprised.
I never expected there to be such a connection.
No wonder Vivian and Doug are sworn enemies.
"So..." Vivian stared at Ian, her gaze serious, and said, "So I will support you in becoming an intermediate pharmacist as soon as possible and advancing to the training sequence."
"Are you in such a hurry?"
Ian noticed the urgency in Vivian's eyes; she seemed even more anxious than he was.
"In order to cope with the increasingly severe war situation, the school is preparing to establish the "Potion Strategic Support Office".
"The stakes are high, and Doug and I both need more leverage. The development sequence is a crucial part of that; whoever advances to the development sequence first, you or Baker, will significantly impact Doug and me."
Vivian told him the reason directly.
Ian suddenly realized.
It turned out to be the case.
In the wizarding world, there is no such thing as unconditional favor, especially not to someone as valuable as Vivian.
However, this aligns with his interests.
Based on his understanding of Vivian.
If he really advances Baker to the training sequence ahead of schedule, allowing Vivian to benefit from it, he will likely gain a great deal.
"clear!"
Ian nodded.
