Wizard: I use my omniscience to interpret the truth.

Chapter 177 Time's Up

Before long, Byron had swiftly taken three portions of each potion and put them into his spatial bag.

At this moment, he was carrying a spatial bag, which was light and no different from before, but he felt very heavy in his heart.

Seeing that Byron had stopped moving, Isolde waved to him, indicating that it was time for him to leave.

Upon seeing this, Byron quickly followed and left.

After coming down from the second floor, the two sat on the sofa again.

With Byron's potion recipe tucked between his fingers, Isolde said calmly, "From now on, this potion recipe belongs to me."

"After that, you can refine it yourself for your own use, but once it's finished, you can't sell it to others..."

""

At this point, Isolde narrowed her cold, beautiful eyes slightly as she looked at Byron and said in a dangerous tone.

"If you do that, then I'm sorry, but whatever you get from me, I will take something away from you in return."

"Because you violated the contract and intellectual property rights first, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Upon hearing this, Byron immediately sat up straight, patted his chest with an air of righteous indignation, and said, "Don't worry, Master, I would never do such a thing!"

"You know me best; I value contracts the most, and there's absolutely no way I'd break them."

Isolde didn't speak, but simply glanced at him.

The meaning in her eyes was clear: just let Byron remember it; she only cared about the result.

After giving Byron some more instructions, Isolde waved for him to leave.

Seeing Isolde in this state, Byron did not linger any longer and turned to leave after saying goodbye.

As the spire's doors closed, Isolde looked at the potion recipe Byron had traded out, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"I didn't expect Byron to be even more talented in potion-making than I thought. He was able to modify an ancient potion recipe on his own while still a wizard apprentice."

"Even the effects of this potion recipe are no less than those of that ancient potion recipe, but the materials are cheaper and available in larger quantities."

"From this perspective, passing the potion master exam is no longer a problem for him. Now the question is how to force him to unleash his full potential."

"Otherwise, given that kid's habit of keeping everything to himself and never standing out, he'd be a prime target."

"With his ability to break into the top ranks, he only managed to reach the middle ranks before saying he had done his best."

"We can't let him do this in the potion master assessment. After all, it's about how much potion knowledge I can acquire. We have to push him a bit more to make him show more of his abilities in the assessment."

"However, given that kid's stubborn nature of not acting until he sees a clear benefit, relying solely on the things in the storage room might not be enough to force him to unleash his full strength. We'll need to use some more drastic measures..."

'

As he spoke, Isolde seemed to have thought of something, and the smile on his lips grew wider and wider.

If Byron were still here, he would surely be terrified upon hearing Isolde's words.

Just from a single potion recipe, one can tell that it's a modification of an ancient potion recipe, and also discern his talent in potion-making and how hard he usually works...

This is absolutely terrifying! If they revealed any more, wouldn't they be able to see right through us?!

However, Byron had already left by then, and it is unknown what Isolde muttered to himself after he left.

Since emerging from the Isolde Spire, his smile has never faded.

Although he lost a potion recipe he had researched, his gains far exceeded his expectations.

Furthermore, whatever wealth that potion recipe might bring Byron in the future, that's something for later; it can't be realized now.

The most important thing now is to glorify the world of gods. As long as this matter is completed successfully, he will be able to quickly get through that awkward period after becoming a formal wizard.

And ensure that your strength can improve rapidly with the help of sufficient resources, so that you can calmly deal with the mandatory missions of the Great Expedition and survive them.

So, in the long period that followed, with ample resources to support him, he could easily produce not just one potion recipe, but even ten or a hundred. He only needed to continuously modify the ancient potion recipes to achieve this.

At that time, his strength will be able to snowball and grow bigger and bigger!

Time flew by and the day of departure arrived.

Byron checked everything again to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything, then left the room.

At that moment, Daphne and WALL-E were both standing in the living room waiting for him.

Daphne now knew what Byron was going to do next, and she looked at Byron with red eyes.

But fearing that Byron would worry about her, she suppressed her anxiety, fear, and reluctance, and did not shed a tear. She even forced a smile as she looked at Byron, not wanting him to worry about her.

"Master...Master..."

'

When Byron came out, Daphne called out to him, noticing his unusual attire of a black robe.

But no matter how hard she tried to hold it in, Daphne's voice still trembled with a sob.

Seeing Daphne's expression, Byron raised his hand to stroke her head and chuckled as he interrupted her.

"Daphne, don't worry, I'm just going out on a mission. It's not dangerous at all. Besides, there are also formal wizards protecting me. Daphne, don't worry too much. Just stay home and wait for me to come back."

Upon hearing Byron's words, Daphne could no longer hold back. With tears welling up in her eyes, she threw herself into Byron's arms, hugging him tightly and rubbing her little head against his chest.

Feeling the dampness on his chest, Byron gently patted Daphne's back a few times and comforted her with a smile.

"Don't worry, Daphne. I'll be back soon after completing the mission. It probably won't even take as long as the last experiment."

"Dafne, my dear, after I leave, everything in this house will be in your hands. You must take good care of everything for your master and also take good care of yourself, otherwise I will be sad when I come back."

Upon hearing Byron's words, Daphne lifted her head from his chest and looked up at him.

"Master...Master, is everything you said true? You're not lying to Daphne, are you?"

Byron smiled and nodded, patting her head gently: "Of course, when have I ever lied to Daphne?"

Upon hearing this, Daphne fell silent for a moment, then muttered under her breath, "Hasn't Master lied to Daphne enough? Last time he lied to Daphne, saying that if I studied hard and cultivated, I could get back into the lab to help Master."

"But in the end, once the master went into the laboratory, he never came out. For more than two years, he left Daphne alone outside."
