The Hero Betrayed Me? As A Dark Magician, I Resurrected The Demon King - Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Suppressing Xius

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Deng looked at the legendary Xius in front of him and realized he seemed to be quite capable.

This person’s entire body was emitting some kind of special magic power.

If his guess was correct, it should be the legendary Pharmacy Mastery.

One had to know that this special magic power was a support profession.

However, refining potions was a very tedious and boring process.

It was impossible for a person without great perseverance to obtain such power.

No one who could reach this step was a simple person.

I’m Nicholas Ben. You must be Xius. I just want to challenge Dennis, the Sage Healer. This doesn’t violate the general rules of pharmacists.”

“A true expert is never afraid of a challenge. Do you think there’s something wrong with my question?”

The guy in front of him was not simple. It was not an easy thing to solve purely based on pharmaceutical knowledge.

It was very important for him to understand Xius’s personality and thoughts.

“We live in this world, so we have to abide by some unwritten rules.”

“Perhaps Sage’s strength might not be the strongest, but to be able to defeat the Demon King, at least it means that she played a great role in the battle.”

“I don’t think a lad with unknown origins like you can challenge our Lord Sage.”

“When the Demon King’s Army was wreaking havoc, it was these brave heroes who stepped forward. It was only natural for them to obtain such a position. What we should do is to bless them, not question them.”

A hint of fanaticism appeared in Xius’s eyes. He had once been a member of the Hero Adventure Guild, but he had been stopped near Demon King’s City.

They didn’t manage to charge in but were stopped by a commander of the Demon King’s Army.

As such, he greatly respected Adventure Guild that could successfully kill Demon Kings.

The sword and the rose were worthy of their faith.

Chen Deng looked around when he said this. Everyone’s eyes were filled with admiration.

A group of pitiful ordinary people who did not know the truth. They had no idea how dirty their hero was.

Chen Deng sighed and shook his head, “Ahem, it seems that there are some things I can’t explain clearly.”

Some of the guys with a gloomy appearance of the road, by betraying their friends and companions, eventually gained the status they have today.

He would expose this matter sooner or later, but not now.

“Since we have different ideologies, we can only see who refines a higher-level potion and has higher authority.”

“Let’s each take out a potion that you’re best at and announce the formula. We’ll refine two portions at the same time. We’ll decide the winner based on the speed of refinement, the quality of the finished product, and its effects.”

“I believe that no one would dare to cheat with Lord Aphex here!”

Xius nodded. As the strongest pharmacist in Rose City, he had never been afraid of anyone when it came to refining potions.

“Very good. The potion I’m good at is a type of amplification potion, Blood of Fever.”

“Gather the Psychedelic Grass, Bloodthirsty Bats, Green Fungus, Snowy Fruits… from the Magical Beast Forest.”

He spat out more than ten kinds of medicinal herbs one after another. Each of them sounded very precious, but this was the Pharmacists Guild, so these materials could still be easily collected.

“As expected of Lord Xius. Just by listening to those materials, I feel that the difficulty of refining is quite high.”

“And the refining process is so complicated. I can’t even understand it. As expected of the strongest expert in Rose City.”

“This is definitely an excellent learning opportunity. Isn’t this the future that we pharmacists dream of?”

Many younger or lower-level pharmacists gathered around.

Chen Deng was also listening attentively to his explanation. Be it the materials or the refining process, he explained everything to Chen Deng in detail.

According to Chen Deng’s experience, the other party did not hide anything or play any bad tricks. His character was still worthy of respect.

Chen Deng smiled, “I’m good at making healing potions. I can even treat a level-20 Grandmaster.”

Chen Deng’s words caused an uproar.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible. To be able to affect a Level-20 Grandmaster, he must be a powerful pharmacist who has already obtained the power of magic potions.”

“If he really is that kind of pharmacist, why was he unknown before?”

“Tsk, maybe he just doesn’t want to be famous. I’m not sure about other professions, but there’s no shortage of lunatics who are immersed in research in the pharmacist profession.”

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. To be able to give birth to a powerful Sage and gain the recognition of the kingdom with this lifestyle class, one could imagine how hard these guys usually worked.

Chen Deng listed out the materials he needed one by one.

Every time a name was reported, the person in charge of the Pharmacists Guild would tremble. The ingredients that Chen Deng needed were simply too precious.

“Nicholas Ben, the materials we need are too precious. You have to make a mortgage and guarantee these materials will not be wasted before we can provide them.”

It would be fine if it was just one, but this was a competition, and everyone needed one.

Moreover, the one that was not good at it was very likely to fail. If these precious medicinal herbs failed, the loss would be too great.

It was just a competition. It was not appropriate to play so big.

Chen Deng smiled, “I don’t have anything to pawn, but I can sign a contract. If I fail, I can work for the Pharmacists Guild for thirty years for free. How about it?”

The eyes of the person in charge of the Pharmacists Guild lit up. If he could obtain the support of a powerful pharmacist, thirty years would definitely be enough for the value of these things. It might even far exceed it.

After the ingredients were prepared, Chen Deng explained them in detail. Xius looked at the precious herbs in front of him with anticipation. If he lost this competition, he would be satisfied.

To be able to obtain this potion formula was already a huge profit for Xius.

“If you can really refine this potion and its effects are as powerful as you say, then I’m willing to admit defeat.”

“Every one of these things is very precious. If I were to refine them, I would definitely fail. I know my limits.”

He stood respectfully at the side, “Let’s begin, Mr. Nicholas. I hope to see your wonderful performance.”

Chen Deng smiled when he heard that, “If you can recognize your own strength, you’ll definitely become a Grandmaster in the future. You’ll definitely surpass Dennis.”

Everyone was still a little confused and did not understand what had happened.

The two of them discussed for a while, and it seemed Xius had been overpowered.

“Let me demonstrate to you what it means to refine a real potion.”
