Chapter 221: Entrance Test?

As if seeing the doubt on her face, the old man smiled and stretched out his withered hand to gently tap Audrey’s body.

“Although I’m old, my nose is pretty good. I can smell the herbal scent coming from your body. If I’m not wrong, you must be an alchemist,” the old man said.

Audrey suddenly understood. Since the old man had already guessed to this extent, there was no point for her to continue hiding it. She nodded and agreed.

Then, she saw the old man’s smile grow bigger.

“In that case, you came just in time. Come with me.”

He brought Audrey out of the Academy and came to the nearest town. Along the way, Audrey quietly observed the old man and was surprised to find that although he looked weak, his body was actually very good.

After walking for such a long time, even she was a little out of breath. However, this old man did not look tired at all. In fact, he was walking as fast as a bird.

The two of them soon stopped in front of an ordinary-looking house.

“This is the residence of an old friend of mine. Recently, he happened to be looking for someone with high talent in pharmaceutics. You can try staying here with him,” the old man said as he pushed the door open, “by the way, let me remind you that this old friend of mine doesn’t have a good temper. If you speak to him, don’t get into an argument. Otherwise, you’ll…”

Audrey could already guess her ending even before he finished his sentence.

It had to be known that if an alchemist wanted to kill someone, it was actually very simple. All he had to do was make a simple disguise with the potion. Not only could he kill the person silently, but he could even make the person cry with gratitude before he died.

In fact, this was a very cruel method.

“Yes, I understand,” Audrey said.

The old man was obviously very satisfied with her attitude. After knocking on the door and waiting for a moment, the door was pulled open from the inside.

The person who came was a man who looked to be in his thirties. He seemed to have been busy just now. After being disturbed, his expression became a little ugly. However, after seeing the old man, he barely managed to raise his mood.

“Mr. Hogan, why are you free to come to my place?” Dempsey asked.

Hogan smiled and pushed Audrey over. “Weren’t you looking for an alchemist a while ago? It just so happened that one came to your doorstep, so I brought it directly to you.”

Dempsey frowned and sized Audrey up. As an alchemist, his sense of smell was very sharp. He could immediately smell that Audrey was carrying very high-grade herbs. Moreover, the smell was very pure. It did not seem like an ordinary item at all.

“In that case, come in,” Dempsey said, “let’s make it clear first. If you cause trouble here, I won’t blame you if I chase you out.”

Audrey smiled. “I’ll be obedient.”

Hogan glanced at Audrey and finally averted his gaze.

After sending Audrey here, Hogan quickly left. Audrey stood in the room and observed the situation around her. Only then did she realize that the person in front of her was very likely a very famous alchemist.

After all, those clear potions were placed in a corner. Just by looking at their casual appearance, it was obvious that they were not valued. Audrey even saw a few bottles of hidden potions among them. It must be known that the bottle of hidden potion that she had refined back then… it could be said that it had shaken everyone. Moreover, even if it appeared in the auction house, it should be able to fetch a considerable price.

Such an important potion was casually placed in a corner. It was truly a waste of heaven’s gifts.

“Let me make it clear to you first. All I need is an assistant.” Dempsey sat in front of the table. There were all sorts of herbs on the extremely precise instrument in front of him. One look and one could tell that it was in the process of being produced.

“But before that, I need to understand your situation first. What kind of potion can you produce now?” Dempsey asked.

Audrey opened her mouth, but before she could answer, she heard some movement behind her.

The door to the room was pushed open quickly.

“Senior Dempsey…” After Henry entered, he immediately noticed the beautiful figure standing beside him.

He was surprised for a moment and forgot to look away because the girl in front of him was too stunning. Her azure-blue eyes were staring at him quietly, causing him to lose his focus for a moment.

Henry noticed that something was wrong with him and hurriedly averted his gaze. His ears had unknowingly turned red.

“Henry, why are you here?” Dempsey had been a teacher for such a long time that he could clearly notice the situation of his students. His gaze turned a few times around Audrey and Henry, and there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

Henry swallowed his saliva and managed to find his voice.

“It’s like this. City Lord Walp has invited you over to give a demonstration. It’s said that there’s a new batch of alchemists, but they’re still very reluctant to refine middle-grade and above potions. Therefore, he wants you to go over and give them some guidance.”

Walp… Dempsey sneered in his heart. Walp is really an interesting person. I still remember the last time I made a scene, and he has the nerve to come to me and ask me to give him some guidance?
