Chapter 239: Talent of an Alchemist
Noah had a bright smile on his face at the moment, looking at the golden liquid shimmering with spirituality. He felt even more satisfied in his heart.
"Well done, Aur," he said in an extremely warm tone to Aur, the burly young man in front of him, as if he were a long-lost child of his.
"It is all thanks to the village leader," Aur lightly said with a polite bow.
"Haha, with the resources I gave you, they didn't even help a single bit. After all, they were just resources. You do have the talent to become an alchemist, which means you have an extremely strong soul and strong comprehension," Noah mysteriously smiled.
Aur's ears perked up when he heard this.
"Village leader, I don't understand."
Hearing this, Noah was a little startled; however, he slowly nodded his head in understanding.
"The talent for alchemy is a strange one; the requirements for one to be an alchemist are all mysterious. However, the power of the soul and comprehension is a known factor which significantly helps in alchemy," Noah said.
"Thank you, Village Leader, for your teaching," Aur responded gratefully.
Noah nodded. "Don't mention it. Since you have become an alchemist, the temporary status of the elder has basically been established. Even if you don't become a tier two wizard in a lifetime, you will still be the alchemist."
Aur's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Village Leader, your generosity knows no bounds."
"Haha," Noah chuckled, clearly in an extremely good mood.
At this moment, Aur suddenly asked, his expression hesitant and fear in his tone, "Village Leader, about the beast tide…"
"Don't worry about it. These mere beasts cannot do anything to my village. As long as they come here, they would be entirely decimated with our strength," Noah said confidently. In his good mood, he didn't mind sharing with Aur, especially since he wanted to acknowledge the talents before him.
Although William had the talent of a high-grade mental space, he was doomed to become the cultivation resource of that lord. Aur revealing his talent as an alchemist was undoubtedly pleasant to Noah.
What was an alchemist? They were beings who could convert low-level resources and combine them to obtain higher-level resources, making them extremely easy to refine and efficient for consumption by wizards.
Not only that, they could form entirely new creations that were completely unrelated to the attributes of the resources, just like the soul-refining elixir.
The village only had one alchemist, and the old bastard had long since monopolised it. Now that a new talent has emerged, Noah might finally be able to break the monopoly of the old bastard.
Countless thoughts flashed in Noah's mind as he looked at Aur again with an even warmer gaze.
"Aur, tell me if you need any cultivation resources. As long as you need it, I will grant it to you." Continue reading at m|v-l'e m,p| y- r
Aur nodded his head as his eyes flashed with a strange gaze. He could already guess what had happened in the beast tide, but he wanted to know if Noah knew about it. As he expected, Noah knew about Lord Sky.
However, from the future he saw, this guy Noah died at the hands of the first elder. This meant that although Noah knew about it, in actuality, Lord Sky might not care about him, and it wouldn't make a difference who was in power.
"Aur, would you like to join my faction?" Noah asked again.
Aur hesitated when he heard this, as he seemed to make a decision in a short time. "First elder, I am already a member of the second elder. If I join your faction, it might not be appropriate."
Noah smiled upon hearing this, instead of being angry. "He has at least an upright character.
"Forget it then," he shook his head.
At this moment, Noah became thoughtful again and directly gave Aur a token.
Aur looked at the token with a curious expression.
"This token contains one of my tier three spell attacks inside it. As long as you put your mana into it, you would be able to temporarily activate it," Noah expressed, giving another insignia to him as well.
"This is…" Aur yelped in surprise.
"This is an insignia token, which allows you to choose one of the artifacts from the treasury. You should have some life-preserving methods, and these will significantly help you increase your life-preserving capability."
"This is too much, Village Leader-" Aur's hand trembled, seemingly from excitement, yet hesitation lingered on his face.
Seeing this, countless thoughts flashed through Noah's mind as his smile widened.
"Oh, will you help me refine a batch of mana gathering potion?"
Aur wore a thoughtful expression before nodding his head.
Noah nodded even more satisfied. "How long will it take?"
"Around a month's time," Aur spoke confidently.
"Good, good," Noah started to laugh. "The resources will be directly delivered to your door which are thirty sets of the material for refining ten Mana gathering potions."
"Then I will take my leave, Village Leader."
"Go slowly," Noah spoke. "Actually, wait. I will seek you out."
"Eh!?" Aur was a little stunned when he heard this.
…
"Hey, why did Aur go to the Leader's office again?" the young guard said with a frown, while managing his unkempt hair.
The old guard gave him a look and said lightly, "Don't interfere with the affairs of the big-shots. As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat."
As they were talking, the door suddenly opened, making them fall silent and assume attentive positions.
Their pupils froze in place as they saw the Village Leader, in his casual outfit, walking Aur out of the place with him.
"Aur, hope you make some more progress next time," Noah gave a firm pat on his shoulder one last time before he left the place, feeling extremely satisfied.
Aur also left, his figure soon fading into the distance.
At that moment, the two guards seemed to have finally recovered from their shellshock.
