Wizard Earl

Chapter 382 Conditions

After a short while, Connor finished digesting the energy from the potion and immediately ended his cultivation. He opened his eyes and felt that the energy backlash injuries on his body had been relieved after digesting the potion's energy, but Connor's eyebrows furrowed.

The potion he had just taken was called Luca's Spirit Elixir, a branch of the famous healing potion Spirit Elixir in the wizarding world. It was created by the apothecary Luca and named after him. According to Connor's estimate of his recovery, considering drug resistance, he would need to rest for at least three months and take twelve bottles of Luca's Spirit Elixir during those three months to fully recover. However, the reality was that Connor only had three bottles of this potion in his spatial ring, enough for only one month of his current healing needs.

Normally, Connor wouldn't worry about not having any potions on hand. He would just tell Varga, and she would naturally prepare some for him. But now, that's exactly what's wrong. There's been a conflict between Connor and Varga, and Connor is no longer willing to lower himself to ask Varga for the Luca Spirit Elixir to heal his injuries, just like before!

"Connor, what's wrong?"

A month later, in an abandoned factory warehouse on the outskirts of the South District of Rune, Margaret looked at Connor, who was pale-faced, with some concern.

Connor didn't speak to Margaret's concern, but simply waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. Then he took out ten alchemical golems, each about a meter long and radiating a metallic luster, from his spatial ring and placed them in front of Margaret!

"You've created the alchemical golem?" Looking at the golem before her, Margaret asked Connor with delight.

Connor smiled and nodded, pointing to the description of the alchemical golems, "The reason I invited you here is to tell you that I have completed the forging of these ten alchemical golems, and they are ready to begin large-scale mining of magic stone in the Tunguska region at any time!"

"According to my estimation, these alchemical golems can last for a year and a half in the radiation environment of the magic stone mine. After a year and a half, their core components will need to be replaced. In terms of energy consumption, for every hundred pieces of raw magic stone ore mined, the alchemical golem will only consume ten refined magic stones. One alchemical golem can mine about five to twenty pieces of raw magic stone ore per day!"

After listening to Connor's introduction, Margarita nodded in satisfaction, her eyes sparkling with admiration, and her delicate hand couldn't help but stroke the metal shell of the alchemical golem.

Seeing that Margaret was very satisfied with the alchemical golems he had crafted, Connor couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. He was also very pleased with his first alchemical golem creation. As long as these ten alchemical golems were put into the mining of magic stones, Connor felt that he would not lack magic stones for a long time!

"Margaret, I want to discuss something with you!" After Margaret recovered from her fascination with the alchemical golem, Connor pondered for a moment and said to her:

Seeing that Connor was finally about to get to the point, Margaret gave him a half-smile. She knew that Connor hadn't just invited her here to tell her that he had created the alchemical golem for mining magic stones.

Seeing that Margaret remained silent, Connor pressed on, "Our original agreement was to split the magic stones mined from the Tunguska magic stone mine fifty-fifty, but I want all the magic stones the alchemy golems mined in the first three months to be yours!"

"What do you want in exchange for me?" Margaret asked without hesitation. Upon hearing that Connor had offered her thousands of magic stones, Margaret knew that Connor wouldn't give her such a great benefit for nothing. He must want to exchange something for her.

After a moment's hesitation, Connor decided to tell Margaret the truth. Looking at her, he said, "I suffered some injuries due to an energy backlash and am looking for some Luca's Essence potions to heal. If you can't get Luca's Essence potions, some similar healing potions will also be fine!"

"How much Luca Spirit Elixir do you need to completely heal your injuries?" Upon hearing Connor's condition, Margaret immediately examined Connor's body, and after a long while, she replied:

"Eight bottles!" Connor exclaimed.

Connor's tone sounded somewhat helpless. Conservatively speaking, three months and ten alchemical golems could yield 5,000 magic stones from the magic stone mine. A 50/50 split would mean Connor could get 2,500 magic stones. A bottle of Luca's Essence Potion costs between 50 and 100 magic stones. Even at the highest market price, eight bottles of Luca's Essence Potion would only cost 800 magic stones.

Connor wasn't out of his mind to exchange two thousand magic stones for a potion worth eight hundred magic stones; it was a desperate measure. Luca's Spirit Potion is a potion specifically for treating injuries caused by energy backlash. It is said that the original intention of the apothecary Luca in researching and refining this potion was to commemorate his nephew who died from energy backlash.

Energy backlash is not a common occurrence in wizarding practice, so the Luca's Spirit Elixir, which is specifically designed to treat energy backlash, is also not very common in the wizarding world. It is the kind of elusive medicine available only for those who want to treat their injuries. Connor has been attending several gatherings of underground wizards from the Loen community, including Meazza Manor and Mönchengladbach Club, but he has been unable to find any elixirs that can treat energy backlash.

Seeing that his injuries were far from healed due to the lack of medicine, and that there was even a risk of chronic illness, Connor had no choice but to turn to Margaret, who was in the Storm Church. To get her help, he naturally had to use incentives and offer her some sweetness!

"You're really willing to spend money!" Margaret said with a smile, having figured out the costs. "I can help you with this. Coincidentally, the church headquarters sent a large batch of potions to Rune. I'll check if there are any potions that can treat energy backlash injuries!"

"But I don't really need the magic stone ore! How about this, we change our profit-sharing arrangement. I'll cover the losses from refining the magic stone ore and give Connor an extra 10%, and Connor, you can give me 30% of the refined magic stone. If you agree, this potion is essentially a gift from me, and you don't need to exchange it for three months' worth of profits. How about that?" To Connor's surprise, Margaret actually made her offer.
