After Claire left, Hubert held the peach-sized fruit and showed a smile, muttering to himself, "With this fruit, the chances of promotion should be greater."
After Claire came out, he looked back at the magnificent mansion, and then left thoughtfully. He couldn't understand why the other party exchanged Life Potion for him, which cost a lot of money.
During the process, it was very simple for Claire to communicate with the other party. Both of them were straightforward, and there was no such intrigue as when he and Sophia were together. They were always thinking about whether the other party would trick him somewhere.
That woman has a bad heart, so she has to be on guard.
"Claire, this is Life Potion sent to you by Lady Sophia."
Claire just returned to the store and saw Shane holding two packages and said to himself.
"Ah?" Claire was a little surprised, "Life Potion from Sophia?"
"Yes, Lady Sophia said that she expected that you might not be able to grab it, so she saved a potion of life medicine in the family and sold it to you for a cheaper price of four million Gold Coins."
Claire: "..."
"What's the other package?" Claire asked, pointing to the package Shane was holding in his other hand.
"Uh... my father brought this for you. When I came home today, he brought it to me specially. When I took it in a hurry, I happened to meet Lady Sophia at the door of the store who sent someone to deliver the package."
Speaking of this, Shane added, "My father said, you don't have to spend money to buy it, just use it, and you can just return it when you have it later."
Claire scratched his head. Both Sophia and Shane's father's conditions were very good. Sophia offered one million less than the original price, and another one was equivalent to a loan without interest. He would pay it back after he had it.
But the problem is...
Claire also took out a tube of faint blue Life Potion from Spatial Ring, and put them together with the two tubes of medicine in Shane's hand. The three of them shined charmingly blue against each other.
"Ah... where did you get Life Potion? If you went to Marquis Hubert, he gave it to you?!" Shane said in shock. Originally, both Sophia and his father were willing to give it to you Taking out Life Potion was enough to shock him. Now Claire can actually get Life Potion from Hubert. This is already a bit outrageous.
Is there anything else he can't do?
"Well, I used that fruit in exchange for him." Claire said truthfully.
"Let's go in and talk." Shane pulled Claire towards the lounge inside. "Tell me in detail how you got it."
Claire spent a few minutes explaining the general process, but Shane was still shocked after listening to the process.
He asked in disbelief, "Isn't this Life Potion the one he spent 25 million to buy for Marquis Hubert? Why did he give it to you like this?"
Claire pondered for a moment, rubbed his fingers slightly, scratched his head and said, "I also feel a little strange. If Life Potion was not important, he would not spend so much money to fight with me, but if it was important, why would he give it to me so easily?"
After Claire finished speaking, he tapped his fingers regularly on the table and began to think deeply. He had this doubt when he was in the other party's mansion, but he was too embarrassed to ask it in person.
"Could it be that the effect of your fruit is better than that of Life Potion? That's why he was willing to exchange it?" Shane guessed.
Claire shook his head, "I am also good at alchemy. These two things do not have the same attribute at all. Life Potion replenishes the vitality of the human body, and that fruit optimizes and transforms the human body to assist in advancement. The two have nothing to do with each other."
"Could it be that the old man Silver Rank in their clan is about to die of old age, so he spent so much money to buy Life Potion? I later learned that your fruit can help Silver Knight After being promoted to Gold Knight, the knight's lifespan can be increased by several decades. The effect is much better than that of Life Potion, so that's why I exchanged it with you?" Shane continued to guess.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Shane self-denied what he just said, "But that's not right, the members of their family are all cultivating the golden lion Battle Aura Cultivation Method, once you cultivate Battle Aura, you will be a knight of Gold Rank. I have never seen any descendants of Silver Rank in their clan."
Claire was still pondering on the sidelines. Although it didn't matter whether he knew or not, he was just curious and itchy.
Shane continued to speculate, "But it is not impossible. If you use that fruit to practice the potion, the finished product should be able to advance the knight of Gold Rank to the Great Knight level."
"But the question is, it's not worth it. How much is a Great Knight level knight worth? It doesn't cost tens of millions to get it, and Hilt Family shouldn't be short of a Great Knight level knight. Their family masters are all sword masters."
Shane As soon as he finished speaking, Claire seemed to have an idea in his mind. He patted his thigh and shouted, "Listening to what you said, I seem to have some ideas."
"Huh?" Shane also became interested, leaned his head over, and asked, "What's the idea?"
"Answer me a few questions first. Do you still remember whose hand that bottle of Life Potion came from?"
"Of course I remember, Master Morey, one of the four great Alchemy Grandmasters in the capital, is best at the alchemy of potions. But what does this have to do with Master Morey? Even the Life Potion he refined is not worth that much money."
"What's that Master Morey's temperament like?" Claire continued to ask.
The corner of Shane's mouth twitched, "I don't know, those four Alchemy Grandmaster are not existences that I can contact. Master Morey is a high-ranking executive of the Magic Academy. Shenlong is usually invisible. I don't know what his temper is like."
Alchemy Grandmaster's status is very high in any country. Morey's status in the Royal Capital Magic Academy is almost equivalent to the level of deputy dean. Even a person like Sophia must respectfully call him master when he meets him. This is not a verbal honorific, but respect from the heart.
Their status is the same as that of their ancestor, who is also the vice-president of the Royal Capital Magic Academy.
"That's right." A smile appeared on Claire's face, and Shane's words confirmed his guess.
"What's wrong?" Shane is still a little confused.
"What Marquis Hubert spent the 25 million to buy was not Life Potion at all, but to be able to connect with Master Morey!"
"What do you mean?"
"Marquis Hubert bought the opportunity to make friends with Master Morey. He didn't need anything like Life Potion at all. The reason why he bought it was because the potion was Master Morey Refined by. It's really not worth spending 25 million to buy a bottle of Life Potion, but if you spend 25 million to make friends with Master Morey, it's worth it."
Claire continued, "This can also explain why he just brought Life Potion to me in exchange for the fruit. He didn't care about the so-called bottle of Life Potion at all."
Shane was so shocked that his mouth opened slightly, and he exclaimed, "This is indeed something I have never thought of."
"I think Marquis Hubert needs Master Morey to help him refine some kind of potion, so he spent a lot of money to solidify Master Morey. And that potion should be a potion that assists in advancement. Otherwise, he would not have found me and exchanged with me for a fruit that can help mages and knights advance."
"According to what you said, it does make sense." Shane said softly, "The only thing that puzzles me is why this Marquis Hubert is willing to spend tens of millions to get a potion that can advance Gold Knight to Great Knight? Not to mention Great Knight, even Earth Knight is everywhere in their Hilt Family."
Claire shook his head. It was pretty good that he could deduce this based on this bit of information. He was not a god and knew everything.
