Chapter 4 Business

"Mr. Brand, I heard from the servant that you discovered a new plant? Its seeds are helpful for refreshing your mind?"

In an alchemy laboratory at the Kaya Empire Mage Academy, an old mage with pale hair, thick dark circles under his eyes, and wrinkles on his mage robe asked Brand curiously.

This old mage is called Morian Hanfa. He is the alchemy professor at the Kaya Empire Mage Academy, and he is also the alchemy teacher for Brand's new batch of students.

The old mage was quite impressed by Brand, a student.

In terms of appearance, Brand is second to none in the Mage Academy. At almost every tutor gathering, Professor Morian can hear those "superficial" female tutors gathering together and discussing Brand excitedly.

De's every move during class.

cough!

The topic is a bit far gone.

As a highly respected alchemy instructor, he is fundamentally different from those "superficial" female mages.

With Master Morian's spiritual attainments, he can easily observe the mental power levels of ordinary people below junior mages and mage apprentices.

Therefore, there is no secret in Brand's mental power level in the eyes of Professor Morian. He has seen everything from the level of an ordinary person when he entered school to the level of a junior mage apprentice now.

This level of mental strength improvement is the fastest among the students of this class.

There is currently no second plant found in Farnes Continent that has the same effect.

To use an easy-to-understand evaluation, Brand is the top student among this class of students.

Finally, after filtering through a filter cloth, Brand produced two cups of dark brown "potion".

Magic is not just knowledge, interpersonal communication is also very important!

Because of its high price, Brand went to the alchemy department of the academy to inquire about its production formula and refining techniques.

Brand's lips raised slightly, and he suggested confidently:

"Although it is not a magic plant, it does have a refreshing effect. How about I make you a cup of coffee and let you experience it directly?"

After Brand's "potion preparation" was completed, and before Brand seemed to want to say something, Professor Morian couldn't wait to pick up the cup of "coffee potion" placed in front of him and take a sip.

Although I am somewhat dissatisfied with Brand's rough "alchemy" method.

Looking at the unfinished coffee in his hand, Professor Morian's eyes gradually became hot.

Limited by planting conditions, the price of this magic plant is very expensive.

When Brand was creating a simulated world, he would occasionally drink a bottle or two to replenish his mental strength.

Moreover, now that I have been in contact with Brand for a while longer, won’t there be a lot more to talk about at the next party?

I don’t know how many “superficial” female magicians will be attracted by Brand’s alchemical deeds!

Cough! The last one is not important!

——As a master of alchemy, he certainly knows what this means!

"Incredible! This thing contains a natural awakening substance! This substance has not been discovered before! It may be able to replace the main ingredient of the awakening potion!"

Regarding Professor Morian's proposal to purchase coffee beans, Brand smiled slightly and did not make any comment.

That feeling is somewhat indescribable.

Don't look at Brand's confident look before, but it was all just an act.

Seeing Professor Morian's suspicious expression, Brand was not in a hurry.

Although the taste is very bitter, it is under keen perception.

Acquisition at a high price?

Now that the refreshing value of coffee beans is recognized, it’s time for negotiation.

Brand wouldn't be that stupid!

As Professor Morian said at the end, coffee beans may be able to replace one of the main ingredients in sobering potions.

All in all, for such an excellent and unique student as Brand, the old professor was slightly more patient than others!

On Brand's side, after hearing the old professor's inquiry, he took out a few brown "beans" from his backpack and placed them on the table between the two of them.

Professor Morian, who has always been rigorous, did not pay attention to Brand's exaggerated boast.

Just grind it into powder, mix it with hot water, and filter out the residue, so you can make a super potion that can refresh your mind after a cup. I call that potion coffee!"

He found that this bitterness contained a subtle sense of coolness.

But considering that the person who made this suggestion was a genius student in his class, favored by a group of "superficial" female mages, and it was said that this person's father was a viscount in the imperial fiefdom.

Without the magic gold coins contributed by the imperial nobles, the research funds of their professors would not be as generous as they are now!

This coffee bean was materialized by him from the simulated world. Things in the physical world certainly do not have extraordinary properties.

The Awakening Potion is a potion that can quickly restore mental strength.

Seeing that Professor Morian recognized the "value" of coffee beans, Brand felt much more relaxed.

This is why Professor Morian was deeply impressed by Brand, not because of Brand’s enviable “useless body”!

cough!

Going too far again.

Then, he introduced the old mage: "Yes, Professor Morian, these are the seeds of that plant, which I call coffee beans.

Then consider issues such as the success rate of potion refining.

But magic is rigorous, and any conclusion without empirical evidence is worthless.

The price of the refreshing potion comes from the magical plant that has the effect of refreshing the mind.

After all, it was about whether he could pass the final exam, and Brand was always worried inside.

He has seen a lot of nobles. They always like to use exaggerated language to show that what they say is right.

If someone else had said that, Professor Morian would have definitely refused.

They are just new species, and many are discovered every year. Before determining their specific value, it is not worth spending too much time on him, a master of alchemy.

After taking this bite, in addition to being a bit hot, a bitter taste blooms in the taste buds on the tip of the tongue.

At the same time, he also developed a lot of affection for Brand, who brought this cup of coffee.

Taking everything into consideration, Professor Morian smiled and nodded.

But because he was so close, Professor Morian could already smell the strong "pharmaceutical fragrance" emanating from it.

It didn't take long for him to come to the conclusion:

"Although it is indeed the seed of an unrecorded new plant, it seems to be just an ordinary plant without any magical response or extraordinary properties."

After taking a deep breath, his professor felt that the fatigue caused by his long-term research seemed to have subsided a little.

The market price of a bottle of refreshing potion has reached 30 gold coins!

"Mr. Brand, you must have the seeds of this plant named coffee beans, right? I am willing to buy them at a high price!"

After Brand took out the coffee beans, the old professor took out a "detection tool" like a magnifying glass from his magic pocket and studied it carefully.

Performance is a required course for nobles.

But who says you have to have extraordinary properties to be refreshed and refreshed?

And this cool feeling lifted his spirits a bit!

Then, Professor Morian saw Brand take out a complete set of tools from his backpack, grind the coffee beans into powder, and ask for hot water from the servant to brew it.

You know, Brand, who has always been extravagant, only has 50 gold coins to spend every month.

One silver coin is enough to support an ordinary civilian family for a month!

Although he didn't understand how a plant that only had a refreshing effect could be used as the main ingredient for a potion that restored mental power, this was not something Brand needed to consider.

That’s what they say anyway, Brand just needs to think so!

All in all, if coffee beans could be used to replace the main ingredient of the sobering potion, the benefits involved would be huge and terrifying.

As a result, the Holland family may take a big step towards becoming a great noble.

Yersin might be ecstatic!
