79 Half-heartedly (1/2)

This wasn't a joking matter.

'Beside Cadgar, is there a single exceptionally outstanding Alchemist in the Black Horn Auction House? And even Cadgar himself would be startled and full of admiration at the mention of Lin Yun's name. He even felt that Great Mage Merlin would become Thousand Sails City's first Artisan.'

Faleau really wanted to ask Hauss if something was wrong with his brain.

'You are in Gilded Rose's laboratory, yet you want to go work for the Black Horn Auction House, are you brain dead?'

But he decided that he didn't really care. 'Forget it, his brain issues don't matter. I have hundreds of admirers in Thousand Sails City, it's normal for a few of them to be completely stupid. I'll deal with you and then go to the reception room. I can't let Great Mage Merlin wait for too long.'

Faleau quickly gave up on this admirer.

”Hmm, Alchemist Hauss, right? You should know these alchemy tools, I won't introduce them to you. Let's talk about your work. You'll work on mixing alchemy potions for the time being. I'll have some people deliver some semi-finished potions and you'll be in charge of handling them.”

”Yes, yes, no problem.”

People were strange sometimes.

If Lin Yun had spoken to Hauss with such an indifferent tone, that young, talented Alchemist would inevitably have become hostile. But since the one who said those words was Faleau, Hauss felt that those instructions were quite proper. Faleau was Thousand Sails City's most outstanding Alchemist, someone that would soon become a Great Alchemist. It was already a rare and precious occasion to have him talk to him, how could he hope for more?

After all, great characters weren't like Merlin, great characters needed arrogance deserving of their status!

Hauss could find all sorts of reasons for thinking so highly of Faleau.

If Hauss learnt that Faleau was just doing things half-heartedly because he was in a hurry to meet the kind-hearted Boss Merlin, who knew what he would think?

”Okay, I'll be on my way.”

He wasn't interested in what Hauss thought, so after quickly dealing with him, Faleau hurried to the reception room.

He stopped in front of the door and took a deep breath. He knocked on the door only after calming his heart and unwrinkling his robe.

”Come in.” Lin Yun was looking at the data he had on the Alchemists, and he casually pointed to a chair. ”Sit down, Faleau.”

Faleau naturally didn't dare to trouble him and simply sat across from Lin Yun. A few minutes later, Lin Yun was done looking through the Alchemists' data so he asked, ”Faleau, do you understand why Cadgar sent you over?”

”Yes, I understand…” Faleau naturally knew that Cadgar had seen him stuck at the boundary between Alchemist and Great Alchemist for some time before he resolved himself to send him to the Gilded Rose. Whether it was Cadgar or himself, they both felt that the only one able to help him make a breakthrough was Great Mage Merlin.
