Chapter 157 Sarah

‘A third-level apprentice who left the academy because he had no hope of becoming a formal wizard.’ Enzo thought to himself.

“Sister Sarah has been on the wizard journey for decades. When she was studying at Crow Phantom, she once specialized in potion knowledge.” Isaac introduced, “After leaving the academy ten years ago, she has been settling in Thunderlight City. She joined the Kendi family as a potion master, providing potions for the family while also training many talents in potion.”

“If you need an experimental assistant, maybe you can ask for her help!”

Enzo’s heart moved. It turned out that the old witch in front of him was a potion master. No wonder the stall in front of her was filled with various bottles and jars, as well as some potion-related items.

“You want to find an experimental assistant, are you also a potion master?”

Hearing Isaac’s words, Sarah’s turbid eyes shone, and a hint of interest rose in her heart. She looked at Enzo carefully and smiled strangely, “A young guy, do you also want to shine on this path?”

“It’s just some research occasionally.” Enzo smiled modestly.

"Senior Sarah, don't underestimate Enzo, he is a real potion genius!" Isaac chuckled and said, "When I was in the academy, Enzo developed a new potion and obtained the patent from the Potions Association."

"What? You developed a new potion!?" Sarah raised her head suddenly, with an unbelievable luster in her eyes.

For a potion master, developing a new potion may often be a lifelong pursuit.

Because once successful, it not only represents great glory, but also means unlimited benefits. Even the most basic secondary potion can obtain enough resources for an apprentice to be promoted to a formal wizard.

No wonder Sarah's expression was so surprised.

"It's just good luck." Enzo touched the tip of his nose and said, "When I was studying in the academy, I served as an experimental assistant for Senior Byron. I happened to solve a problem, so I got the patent for the new potion."

"You are Senior Byron's assistant?" Sarah was surprised again.

As an apprentice who joined Crow Phantom several decades ago and specialized in potion science, the name Byron is definitely not unfamiliar to Sarah. He is a true potion genius and a dazzling figure of Sarah's era.

Hearing the familiar name, Sarah's eyes were filled with memories.

"It turns out that he is recognized by Byron. No wonder he can develop new potions." She murmured to herself, with a gleam in her eyes. After a while, she looked at Enzo and said in a deep voice, "In this case, what do you want to see me for?"

"I need an experimental assistant who has mastered potion science knowledge." Enzo said.

As the potion consultant of the Kendi family, Sarah has settled in Thunder City for ten years and has been studying potion science for a long time. She must have trained some students around her as potion assistants to cooperate with experiments.

Enzo plans to pay a certain price and hire an assistant from Sarah.

"You want me to recommend you a potion assistant?" After knowing Enzo's intention, Sarah frowned, sighed, shook her head and said, "I'm afraid you're late."

"I'm late, what does that mean?" Isaac said puzzledly.

"In the past few years since I became the potion consultant of the Kendi family, I have devoted myself to studying potion science and have indeed cultivated some students around me." Sarah's eyes were filled with sadness, and she sighed, "However, just a month ago, a serious accident occurred in my laboratory, resulting in the death of all the students around me."

"Experimental accident?" Enzo's pupils shrank.

"Yes, a serious mistake." Sarah looked ugly, and said with lingering fear, "The project I carefully prepared for three years ended in failure. The energy leakage caused by the failed experiment killed everyone present except me!"

No experiment can be absolutely safe, and the same is true for potion research and development.

A little deviation in data may lead to energy explosion. There are not a few potion masters who die every year due to experimental failures. Even in some large-scale research projects, even formal wizards may perish as a result.

What's more, most of the student assistants trained by Sarah are not even first-level apprentices.

"Since the failure of that experiment, I almost lost everything." Sarah looked grim, recalling: "Not only did I lose the assistants I trained over the years, but even the laboratory was razed to the ground by the explosion."

"You know, that's where I have accumulated my hard work for many years!"

"I had no choice but to borrow money from the Kendi family and rent a laboratory to refine a batch of potions. I plan to sell them to the wizard gathering first in exchange for some magic stones."

"So that's it." After listening to Sarah's words, Enzo sighed in his heart.

For a potion master, experimental failure is inevitable, but accidents as serious as Sarah's are rare. An energy explosion caused the loss of everything, and he could only earn magic stones by refining potions.

"It seems that the problem of potion assistants will be difficult to solve today." Isaac shrugged helplessly on the side.

"It doesn't matter." Enzo shook his head.

He had not expected to find an assistant so easily. After all, it was very rare for a potion master to get a suitable assistant. Byron restarted the [Combustion Potion] experiment because he met Enzo.

“I’m sorry, I can’t provide you with an experimental assistant.” Sarah also spread her palms and said softly, “But if you want to exchange potion knowledge, I still welcome it.”

"It's an honor." Enzo smiled.

Then, he looked at the stall in front of Sarah. Although he didn't find a suitable experimental assistant, it was worth the trip to meet a potion master in Leiguang City and exchange some experiences.

However, Enzo looked around the stall and didn't find anything of interest.

"I can't have too high expectations." Enzo shook his head in his heart.

After all, Sarah was just a potion master who had been away from the academy for ten years. Most of the potion formulas she mastered were inferior potions that were common on the street, and the finished products were extremely ordinary, which could not be compared with the potions that Enzo prepared himself.

Looking at the items on the ground casually, Enzo's eyes suddenly stopped on a piece of torn parchment.

"What is this?" He picked up the torn parchment, his face changed slightly, and he asked in surprise, "Human skin!?"

"Good eyesight!" Sarah's wrinkled face showed a smile, and she said strangely, "This is a good thing. I found it in an ancient ruins. I almost paid the price of my life to get it."

"Unfortunately, I didn't make full use of its value in the end."

After saying that, Sarah's face was a little complicated.
