Wizard: I can predict the future

An immense magical pressure descended from the sky.

The wizard apprentices, who had been whispering among themselves, almost simultaneously fell silent.

A figure dressed in a dark gray wizard's robe landed between Nord and Sauron in the sky.

He looked to be around forty years old, with an ordinary face and a single metal-framed spectacle perched on his nose.

The cuffs of the robe were embroidered with the silver crucible emblem of the Pharmacists' Guild.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Soren's eyes lit up slightly.

It was Rory Finch, the pharmacist, whom he often heard his Uncle Minick mention.

Once the other party confirms that Joanna's mental energy was indeed damaged during the drug trial, then no matter how Nord tries to justify it, the research on the Glimmering Echo drug must be stopped immediately.

He was the first to bow in greeting.

"The Wizard Rory"

"I am Søren Krok, Minnick's nephew."

Rory nodded, then looked at Joanna, who was lying on the ground, unable to get up.

Soren quickly added:

"A serious drug trial accident has occurred here."

"After taking the Radiant Echoes potion, Joanna's mental energy was damaged, and the monitoring crystal has started to glow red."

"I suspect that the light-echoing agent itself has serious defects."

Rory did not respond, but merely glanced at Soren indifferently.

This glance showed no emotional fluctuation, yet it inexplicably made Soren feel a sinking feeling in his heart.

Rory didn't ask him anything, but went straight to Joanna.

He raised his hand and gently tapped it.

A wisp of magic seeped into the shield.

Nord deliberately withdrew his magic shield, allowing Rory's inspection magic to enter it.

After a while, Joanna gradually calmed down and eventually fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing this, Soren hesitated for a moment, but still continued to speak.

"Wizard Rory, this is precisely the consequence of the Echoing Glow potion."

"Joanna is only a level three wizard, and her mental energy is already fragile. She simply cannot withstand this unproven potion."

"I recommend that the research on photoluminescent agents be stopped immediately."

Rory still ignored Soren.

He just looked at Nord.

What do you think?

Soren's eyes twitched slightly.

This attitude is wrong.

According to normal procedure, once a qualified wizard arrives at the scene, he should immediately cordon off the accident area, question the person in charge, and then check for any remaining potion residue.

But Rory's current demeanor is far too calm.

It didn't even seem like an interrogation; it was more like a conversation with a younger person.

Nord bowed slightly.

"Wizard Rory, Joanna's mental injury was not caused by the Echo of Light potion."

Soren sneered.

"Not the Glimmering Echo Potion?"

"Nord, are you still trying to shirk responsibility now?"

Nord didn't look at him, but raised his hand and waved it, and all the empty potion bottles gathered in front of him.

"To be precise, none of the participants in the trial this afternoon received the Micro-Echo drug."

The surroundings fell silent instantly.

Soren's sneer froze.

It's not a faint echo potion?

What does that mean?

Gray and the others exchanged glances, some of them subconsciously looking at the empty potion bottles in the air.

A pale purple liquid.

A familiar smell.

It was almost identical to the light echo drug they had taken a few days ago.

How could it not be a faint echo potion?

However, several people immediately recalled that they did not experience the same sensation as when taking the luminous potion during their meditation, and a look of understanding immediately appeared on their faces.

Ron and Kyle even glanced at Nord instinctively.

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Soren's heart.

He stared intently at Nord.

"What are you talking about?"

Nord finally turned to look at him.

"I said that all the drugs distributed during the drug trial this afternoon were blank drugs with no medicinal effect."

"It contains only pure water, a small amount of wisteria flower juice, and a little bit of scent-neutralizing liquid that won't affect your mental energy sea."

"They look like glowing echo potions."

"But in essence, it's just a bottle of water stained light purple."

The crowd was suddenly jolted.

Gray then realized what was happening and clapped his hands.

"No wonder I felt something was off when I was meditating just now; it turns out I was drinking water."

"I thought I was about to hit a bottleneck."

"But if it was Shimizu, why did Joanna get into trouble?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding wizard apprentices also looked puzzled.

Many eyes turned back to Joanna.

Soren's expression finally changed.

"impossible."

"Why should it be considered clear water just because you say so?"

He blurted it out instinctively.

After he finished speaking, he realized that his words were somewhat inappropriate.

"During the pharmacists' association's review process, you dared to change the experimental drug without authorization?"

"Norde Blank, are you planning to get your drug tested through the Fraud Association's methods?"

Nord stopped arguing with Soren and looked at Rory.

"The Wizard Rory"

Rory nodded and looked at Soren.

"I approved the replacement of the blank medicine this afternoon."

Soren's pupils contracted slightly.

Rory continued:

"To be precise, this is a blank control set temporarily added by the Pharmacists Association."

"All blank medicines are allocated by the association and recorded before distribution."

"Before taking the drug, the participants were not informed of its true nature in order to eliminate psychological suggestion and external interference."

As he said this, his gaze swept over the onlookers around him.

"This is the normal procedure for drug validation. If anyone has any objections, they can raise them with the Pharmacists Association."

The surrounding wizard apprentices instantly erupted into another uproar.

Since it was a blank control provided by the Pharmacists Association, how could Joanna have suffered a mental breakdown?

Soren felt a chill run down his spine.

Approved by the Pharmacists Association.

Blank comparison.

In other words, this was a setup from the very beginning.

A scheme designed to wait for someone to make a move.

"Who leaked the information?"

His heart sank suddenly, and he looked sharply at Kyle.

They were the only two people in the room who knew about the disruption of the drug trial schedule.

The other person was looking down, occasionally kicking the tender grass in front of them with their right foot.

That damned guy, he took the magic stone and still dared to leak the secret.

Nord looked at Soren, who seemed a little nervous, and waved his hand.

Several faint lights appeared one after another at the corner of the abandoned building, on the abandoned stone pillar, and even by a broken windowsill.

Four transparent crystals emerged from their concealed state.

The moment Sauron saw those crystals, his head buzzed.

Crystal photo.

Nord even set up a photo crystal!

Nord snapped his fingers.

Four crystal balls projected four beams of light, which floated above everyone's heads.

"According to the regulations of the Pharmacists Association, the blank control group needs to be photographed for the entire process."

"This document records the entire process of the drug trial this afternoon."

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the light screens began to rotate.

The video was not long.

Everyone soon saw that after taking the pale purple potion, all the test subjects found a place to begin meditating.

At first, everything was perfectly normal.

Just as everyone else was gradually entering a meditative state, Joanna suddenly opened her eyes.

She first nervously looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to her before carefully sliding a transparent vial out of her sleeve.

Joanna held the medicine, her face clearly showing hesitation.

In the end, she gritted her teeth and swallowed the transparent medicine.

She had just put the empty reagent bottle back into her sleeve when her body suddenly trembled, and her face turned deathly pale at a visible speed.

The light screen freezes at this point.

There was dead silence all around.

The apprentices who were just discussing the problems with the luminous echo potion all fell silent.

All eyes were on Joanna.
