The Alchemy School's Negotiation
In Alchemy School, in the largest building "Aether Palace", there is a deep room.
"Little Iris, what do you want to do when you come to Floating City?"
Roderick lowered his head, and his silver-white intertwined black hair was slightly exposed under the hood. He picked up the silver chain in his hand and pressed it on the table.
He looked calm and looked at Iris standing at the door. She approached slowly with a smile.
"Teacher, long time no see."
Roderick took out a breath and raised his head.
"I don't want to recognize you as my disciple. You have brought me too much trouble."
"No, mentor, that's not trouble, that's their suspicion."
Iris blinked and corrected Roderick's wording.
"Okay, no matter what it is... can you tell me what you mean by coming to Floating City? And why you want to apply for a long-term laboratory."
Roderick said slowly.
He discovered that Iris had applied for a long-term laboratory, which was not a good thing. Regardless of whether she could use it or not, it meant that Alchemy School would attract most attention.
If Iris does not use the laboratory, they will have to pay for the loss and damage of the empty laboratory first, and will also bear part of the pressure.
If Iris will stay here forever, then Alchemy School will attract even greater firepower. With the current situation, he dares to say that the traffic rate of Number Nine Floating City will increase several times.
"Nothing, I just wanted to wait and get rid of some stares."
Iris spoke very frankly without any pause.
"Of course, I also brought a junior up. She may get Gold Alchemy Award in two months."
"As for why Law School chose Amber Law Award to be held at Number Nine Floating City three months later, there is no suspense."
Iris had a smile on his face. Roderick looked at Iris's smile, and a trace of weakness came to his heart.
She made no mention of the trouble she had caused.
"Okay, then why don't you bring up the mage who wants to get Amber Law Award?"
"As Northern Lands Society's Society President, shouldn't you fulfill your duty of supporting the younger generation?"
He did not mention the mage 'Lai' that Iris is currently bringing with him. Normal people would not suspect it without any signs or clues.
What's more, now 'Lai' is in Floating City, and you can find it anytime you want, so now almost everyone is looking for the 'Fran' who doesn't know where it is.
"I don't have to do it, because her instructor will take her there." Iris lied without blinking.
If Fran uses another name, Roderick may first wonder whether Iris is lying.
After all, as Society President of Northern Lands Society, she would not not help the members of the society at this time.
But she chose the name 'Fran', which led to a new direction.
Many people pay attention to Northern Lands Society because of one name - Harbos.
And many people who want to do something will remember the name of disciple Harbos - Fran.
So are this 'Fran' and the 'Fran' on this Paper the same?
This is possible. After all, the name Fran is really uncommon. It makes no sense for two famous people to suddenly appear.
But if it is true, then Harbos master and apprentice are too outrageous! It is actually possible for master and apprentice to get Arcane Mage Award.
In contrast, Roderick would rather believe the former, but he cannot ignore the second possibility.
And now, Iris's words seem to hint at the second possibility.
"Harbos Do you have any plans to come to Floating City in the short term?"
Roderick asked instead.
"Maybe, but I think Harbos will definitely not come if there is nothing important."
"After all, Forge School, which he supported by City of Apprentices, has just started to improve, and now he is still attracting attention from others."
Roderick held his head with his hands, feeling as if Iris said nothing.
At this point, he also knew that no matter how he tried to persuade, Iris would never say another word.
So he blinked and said instead:
"Little Iris, what do you think of this year's Gold Alchemy Award?"
"It's okay. I know everything about it. I think anyone can win this award."
This sentence is the truth. Iris did not hide it. She thinks that anyone can win this award.
Fran's Fireball Paper, forgive Iris for speaking frankly, she really doesn't know why the old guy in Alchemy School is so optimistic about this result, she doesn't feel anything at all.
But Fran and Paper are here, so she has to support him no matter what.
And other results that can compete with it are nothing particularly outstanding.
There are two standard Fourth Order spell modifications Paper. This Paper can only be decided by drawing lots by the committee when you really don't know who to choose.
Iris feels that the committee might rather cause controversy than choose Paper from Fran from Northern Lands Society. After all, this Fourth Order spell modification is too poor.
Judging from her experience of modifying Fourth Order spells Paper for more than ten years, it is definitely not the two.
There are still two copies left. One is a new breakthrough in the field of spiritual body detection. A mage has divided one ten thousandth of the total amount of a standard human soul.
One is a breakthrough development of a new type of potion. This new potion is a life-level-enhancing potion. It is designed to give people a life-level that will be improved after Order is drunk. This result only points out a specific direction of improvement, and there is no practical change.
Compared with the previous Gold Alchemy Award, these results are also a bit weak, and none of them can really be said to be reliable.
After all, alchemy focuses on the finished product. In many cases, awards will be given first to those who create new alchemical finished products.
But what is very embarrassing is that none of them can be said to have produced finished products.
One ten thousandth soul sounds great, but in the end it is just a semi-finished product of a certain alchemical process.
The remaining two items are all theories, and the Fourth Order spell modification is not even a theory.
"No, Iris, I mean, do you want to decide who owns Gold Alchemy Award this time?"
Roderick said with a smile.
Iris frowned and continued.
"It's not for me to decide. I'm not a member of the committee."
"You can be."
Roderick took out a standing sign from his pocket, which read 'Alchemy School Fifth Seat', and he folded his hands on the table.
"Little Iris, I am already very old. I estimate that I will not last more than five decades, and my Mental Power will decline to the point where it is no longer Fourth Order."
"Although I was still Fourth Order at that time, the other Fourth Order Mage could kill me with just one hand."
"At that time, I can't sit in this position anymore."
"You, Fourth Order, have appeared in our 'Miracle Alchemy' lineage. If you don't agree, then I can only pass the position to a certain Third Order Mage. He may not be able to hold this position by then."
Roderick blinked and continued.
"You are the most talented 'Miracle Alchemy' user I have ever seen. If I retire, only you can take my place now."
Roderick also thought of Iris's promotion speed. It took her eighty years to go from apprentice to third level, which was considered a relatively fast speed among Third Order Mage.
However, it only took one hundred and fifty years for Iris to reach Fourth Order, while according to statistics from the Alliance, the average time it takes for the third level to reach Fourth Order is four hundred years.
This speed is definitely shocking. At least in his impression, no mage has such speed.
Now, Iris is only nearly 300 years old. She still has more than half of her age left, so she may still be able to take the position of Fifth Order.
"Can I get Fifth Seat when I come back?"
At this time, Iris asked a question, and Roderick answered with a smile.
"This is only temporary. With your age and strength, you should be able to get the third seat after re-ranking."
"The third seat just happened to be retired recently. If you come back now, I can help you compete for the third seat first. My seat will be reserved for now. Then you can designate me to hand it over to a mage."
"For example, the 'Lai' mage who followed you here."
There was no joy on Iris's expression. She knew that if she really agreed, then the truth would probably be as Roderick said, and their 'Miracle Alchemy' lineage would be able to have two seats.
"What about Northern Lands Society?"
Iris asked instead, pointing out the most critical issue.
Roderick's smile stopped because he knew that Iris could inherit his seat and even rise in the rankings after re-ranking.
However, Alchemy School will never allow Iris with Northern Lands Society to occupy the top three seats. This is a bottom line issue that cannot be defended.
"Little Iris, what do you think?" He rubbed his fingers slowly, then threw the question back, his voice a little deeper.
Iris didn't get the answer, so he said that sentence.
"Then I'd better wait a few decades to inherit your seat, or wait for others to change their minds."
Roderick had already expected such a result, but when the result actually appeared in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but sigh.
"You're still like this..."
Iris has no answer.
Roderick continued.
"Then let's ignore this matter for now... By the way, I also want to remind you of one thing. Keep that mage 'Lai' as far away from the Felistin Family as possible."
"Felistin Family, what's wrong?"
Iris raised his eyebrows and asked with some confusion.
"They didn't do anything wrong themselves... it's just that their family has encountered too many good things recently."
"A family member obtained All-Forms Mage Award from Transmutation School."
"Now the biggest hot spot, Territory Mage, has emerged. School is very worried that it will imitate the family system of those kingdoms and empires and inherit the rank..."
"So you'd better stay away from the Felistin Family. Many mages, including members of Alliance Council, don't want to see Felistin Family continue to be good."
