Chapter Fifty-Six: Legend

  The Grey Robed Cultivator's casual self-introduction was like a thunderclap that exploded above the heads of all the guests.

  Everyone gasped, and the banquet hall was filled with a wave of exclamations. The name "Gren-Bernsede" was a living legend to the people of Gallos City.

  For nearly a century, the two most famous mages of Gallos have been Anduin, who emerged from the Mages' Guild, and the old man in grey robes before you now - Gremien Burnside.

  In some ways, the two magicians have a lot in common. For example, both of them come from Galos City, and both have reached the legendary realm that every magician dreams of. Moreover... both are obsessed with potion-making.

  However, in the field of pharmacy, they went on completely different paths.

  Due to the difference in natural talent, it has reached a level that makes people sigh, even Lin Li, a pharmaceutical expert, feels deeply frustrated when facing him. Moreover, his stubborn temper is simply a disaster. Think about it, an old man who has lived for over 100 years and can't even understand the most basic formulas, yet he holds high-level pharmaceutical formulas in his hands, often attempting extremely difficult experiments like "Bull's Strength". It's a miracle that all these years of experimental accidents haven't blown him to death.

  While he was a legendary wizard, Gren was a rare talent in the field of pharmacy in the Kingdom of Fran, who had achieved remarkable achievements in pharmacy at the age of twenty. His talent even shocked the Pharmaceutical Association, and on the day he became a magic guide at the age of thirty, the Anriel Pharmaceutical Association officially announced that it would accept Gren-Bernsted as a formal member.

  In the decades that followed, Grenfell-Baines became a master in pharmacy, and was an important figure within the Pharmaceutical Society.

  The legendary realm's magician, a master-level pharmacist, under these two dazzling halos, Gren-Bernsede has already become the most representative figure in Gallos City, with a reputation that even surpasses that of the also-legendary magician, Anduin.

  In the city of Gallos, you may not know about the six major underground forces, nor the eleven magical families, and even the Magical Guild, nor the legendary wizard Andurin, but it is absolutely impossible that you have never heard of the legend of Grin - Burnsed...

  When such a legendary figure that can only be looked up to stands alive in front of everyone, the only thing they have in their hearts is "shock".

  Whether it was the fat guy who wanted to introduce his daughter to Kevin, or Auntie with her proud bust, or Anthony Rowlin, who was flattering Bathurst, in this moment, their gaze towards Grenville-Bernard was filled with heartfelt admiration.

  In the long life of Green-Burnsede, he had already become accustomed to being the focus of everyone's attention. Surrounded by a crowd of guests, his wrinkled face still wore a warm smile, and he even nodded at several familiar family heads as a greeting.

  But his eyes were fixed on Lin Li.

  In fact, he came to Gallos City just to take a look at this young magician. In the royal capital of Orlane, Anduin had blown him up to be invincible, and before the age of twenty, he had already achieved an unfathomable talent in pharmacy, and was himself a magical genius worthy of rivaling the gods.

  Despite his close friendship with Andrew, Greene still held a skeptical attitude towards this section.

  It's not that I think Andre is talking nonsense, it's just that Old Green thinks that theoretically, such a person should not exist.

  Whether it's magic or pharmacy, a lot of time is needed to study, especially pharmacy. Old Gehrlein himself, as the master of pharmacy, knows the hardships in it best. The formulas that can never be fully grasped, the astronomical numbers of pharmaceutical formulas, the experiments one after another, the failures one after another, even if there's just a tiny bit of progress, it still needs to be accumulated with a lot of time.

  The young magician in front of him was only in his early twenties, and his face still had a hint of innocence. Even if he had started studying pharmacology from birth, it would be impossible for him to make such a huge breakthrough at this age, let alone having to spend a lot of time learning magic as well.

  Speaking of magic...

  Old Gehrlein had to admit that this young man named Ferry was indeed a rare talent in magic.

  The previous fierce flame storm was nothing, but with his proximity to the realm of magic, releasing a 9th-level spell wasn't unusual. However, the previous wind blade and ice spear had left an indelible impression on Old Grin.

  Sophisticated and precise magic control, astonishing elemental arrangement speed, although only releasing wind blades and ice cones, but in Grin - Bernsede's view, it is absolutely more unexpected than a tenth-level magic. Magic control and elemental arrangement are the basic skills that any magician needs to learn.

  But it wasn't until he reached this level that he understood how important these two most basic magic techniques were to a magician, just like laying a solid foundation before building a house. Without a solid foundation, no matter how tall and beautiful the house is, it may collapse overnight.

  As the level of magic increases, a magician's true strength is often judged by these most basic things, more accurate control of magical power, and faster elemental arrangement, which can make magic changes more diverse and casting speed faster.

  It's just like the current Old Green and Anduin, everyone is a legendary magician, but if they really fight, Old Green doesn't have any confidence at all. After all, he spent too much time on potion-making, while Anduin was also obsessed with it, but the time he spent on magical skills far exceeded his own.

  In their battles at this level, the most basic things have become the key to determining victory or defeat.

  But as for this young wizard's potion standards, Oldman Green still had some degree of doubt.

  He needed some time to verify whether this young magician was indeed a genius in potion-making, just as Andurin had said.

  If he were as good as Andurin said, Oldgreen thought he could give him some pointers and even develop him into the Guild of Pharmacists.

  As a key member of the Pharmacists' Guild, Old Green was well aware of the guild's current situation, which was gradually decaying and withering away, lacking any drive or vitality. What the Pharmacists' Guild needed most now was an injection of fresh blood to get through the possible crisis that might come, and this young magician in front of him could be a very good candidate for supplementation...
