He walked over to the table where Mr. Namek was working and said, "Mr. Namek, could you please hand me the knife?"Namek handed over the knife. Aaron took it in one hand, holding the wine bottle in the other.He gently tapped the top of the bottle twice with the blade, then tilted it slightly and gave a smooth stroke.The cork flew off, and a fruity aroma filled the backyard.Emile had already prepared the glasses. She handed one to Aaron, who slowly poured the wine.He filled each glass halfway and said, "Please, taste it."The others watched as Aaron took a small sip. Following his lead, they each took a sip.A sweet-sour taste with a fruity aroma assaulted their senses, and a warm energy flowed through their bodies, gently nourishing them.Aaron was stunned. He remembered that green-colored items in his inventory meant rare quality.Could this wine have magical properties?Emile exclaimed, "Lord Aaron, your wine must be made from exotic fruits! I can feel the fatigue in my body d

Viola and Emile were amazed by the depth of knowledge they had absorbed so far. Just as Aaron was about to begin the potion-making process, Emile paused and said, "Lord Aaron, before you continue teaching me, I want to take a loyalty oath with you."Aaron was stunned. "Is it necessary?"Emile nodded seriously. "Yes, Lord Aaron. If I’m ever captured and interrogated, there are spells that are hard to resist. But if I’ve signed a loyalty oath, those spells might not work on me."Aaron understood. If his identity or knowledge were exposed, he consequences could be unimaginable. "Okay then," he agreed.Viola, watching quietly, felt a surge of admiration. Lord Aaron had effortlessly earned Emile’s loyalty. She also knew, once Emile took the oath, she would gain immense profit from the knowledge.The alchemy circle lit up, and Loa appeared once again.Seeing Aaron, she was momentarily stunned. She bowed deeply. "Greetings, Respected Great Wizard."Emile took the oath, and Loa oversaw it wit

Emile took a deep breath and said, "Father, there are some things I can’t tell you. Don’t worry, I wasn’t forced. But I truly can’t say more."She then placed a wooden box on the table, opened it, and revealed 99 high-grade mana recovery potions."We want to sell these. Will the Adventurer Guild buy them?"Ember leaned forward, picked up a vial, uncorked it, and gulped it down.His eyes lit up instantly. "Emile… did you meet the god of wealth? This potion is incredible, no side effects. I could consume two more in a row and the effect would only increase!"Then his expression turned serious. "But potions like this are nearly impossible to find. Emile… how did you do it?"Emile was stunned. Her breathing quickened. She knew the implications, most mana potions contained toxins that prevented users from consuming more than one at a time.Those same toxins often blocked Wizard Apprentices from advancing to Formal Wizard status.But this potion… could change everything.She smiled and sa

Bloodiene was the first to arrive. She spotted Nomikana and teased, "Nomikana, did the troublemaker finally cause more trouble than you can handle?"Nomikana shook her head calmly. "Nope. You’ll understand soon. Let’s wait for the others."Bloodiene raised an eyebrow. "Marina and Moonlight are coming too?"Just as she finished speaking, Marina and Moonlight appeared simultaneously.Aaron, observing from the side, was surprised to see that all four leaders were women.He couldn’t help but think, "What the hell? Have the men in the Wizard World become so incompetent they can’t even compare to the women anymore?"He looked again, each of them was strikingly beautiful, appearing in their mid-thirties, with fair skin and green robes.- Nomikana had blonde hair- Bloodiene had red hair- Marina had white hair - Moonlight had blue hairNomikana stepped forward, "Marina, Moonlight, since you’re all here, I’ll get straight to the point."She took a deep breath, pulled out four Basic Mana Reco

Fifteen minutes later, Nomikana was the first to complete her potion, a near-perfect Basic Mana Recovery Potion. She was soon followed by Bloodiene, Marina, and Moonlight.Each of them held up their vials, the liquid inside shimmering with clarity and potency.Nomikana exhaled deeply, her voice filled with genuine respect. "Sir Aaron, we are deeply grateful for your teaching."Bloodiene added, "Yes, Sir Aaron."Marina and Moonlight nodded, their eyes flickering with excitement.They knew, if they trained their own people to replicate this potion and supplied it to the frontlines, it could change the tide of battle. And the contribution points they’d earn could be exchanged for rare resources they’d long coveted.Aaron gave a small nod. "I’ve fulfilled my part of the contract. Now it’s your turn."Moonlight replied confidently, "Don’t worry, Sir Aaron. We’ll send word immediately, the items will be delivered soon."Aaron felt a wave of relief wash over him. With this alliance secured,
