The Iron Ship Island of the Great Voyage

If it weren't for this old man, Raymond would never have reached the current stage in potions.

The "Potionist's Guild" is the most lively union no matter where it is, and this branch of the Black Sea also has an independent island in the capital.

Raymond mingled among the crowd of adventurers and walked towards the attic of the head of the Potionists Guild.

On the street, it is very lively.

This is the potion masters union, and it is also the largest potion material trading market in the entire capital.

In addition to those stores, there are street stalls set up by adventurers and mercenaries everywhere on the street, and there is a strong mixed smell of medicinal materials in the air.

They were all low-level potion ingredients, nothing could catch Raymond's eyes.

The gate of the potion masters union is full of people, and a large number of potion material search tasks and purchase tasks are released here every day.In addition to the adventurers, from time to time some potion masters in black robes came in and out under the respectful eyes of everyone.

Although the hall was noisy, Lei Meng also captured some information he wanted to know.

"Have you heard that the Federation of Trade Unions over the Endless Sea has sent someone, and it seems that they intend to replace Aldrich as president..."

"Ah? Why? President Aldrich is the greatest potion master in our Black Sea, and also the most selfless and upright president. Why did the Federation of Trade Unions want to replace him?"

"I'm not sure. I heard that President Aldrich disobeyed the orders of the Federation of Trade Unions and even clashed with the Navy."

"Ah...why exactly?"

"I heard that he wants to keep the Black Sea Potion Union neutral, but he is unwilling to swear allegiance to the World Headquarters."

"Our Potion Masters Guild has always been neutral and should never be controlled by any force. So I think President Aldrich did the right thing..."

"But... allegiance to the World Headquarters doesn't seem to have any bad influence."

"Anyway, I support President Aldrich! Without him, I would not have been able to afford the sky-high price of potions that were monopolized by the 'Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce'. Now I can become a transcendent, Aldrich The president is my greatest benefactor..."

"That's right! President Aldrich is the most selfless person in our Black Sea. Without him, potions would never be so cheap, and there would never be so many people who could become superhumans. Look at the revived 'Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce' now." , started to monopolize the potion market again..."

"..."

Lei Meng listened to a few words casually, his expression normal.

He also understands the situation in the Black Sea pretty well, and his teacher's situation is naturally not too good.

......

Tee, Tee, Tee!

A crisp knock sounded on the door.

In the office of the Potionists Guild, an old man with a beard was concentrating on some potion tome.The medal of the six-star potion master on his chest was shining brightly, proving his identity impressively.

This old man is naturally the president of the Black Sea Potion Masters Guild, the only six-star Great Potion Master, Aldrich!

"Please come in!"

Hearing the knock on the door, Aldrich was also very puzzled. He remembered that he didn't make an appointment to visit at this time.

"Kacha" the door was pushed open, and a young man with a smile on his face walked in.

The old man's astonishment hadn't surfaced on his face, but he suddenly watched the young man bow respectfully to him: "Teacher, long time no see..."

"you..."

Aldrich's eyes widened, and he finally merged the face in front of him with his most proud disciple in memory, and exclaimed, "Are you Raymond?"

Lei Meng nodded with a smile, and said with a smile: "Teacher, the disciple didn't bother you, did he?"

When Aldrich heard this, his face suddenly turned rosy with excitement, and he burst into tears as he watched.

He quickly stood up from the chair, walked over, and asked in disbelief, "I'm not dreaming, am I? Why did you come back to the Black Sea?"

He carefully looked at Lei Meng, whom he hadn't seen for almost ten years, from his resolute face, he could vaguely see the appearance of the immature boy back then.

He still clearly remembers that when he wanted to take this kid as his apprentice, this "ghost" guy asked all kinds of things, afraid of being deceived...

Raymond sighed slightly: "It's a long story..."

......

This chat is half an hour later.

Aldrich finally believed that the person in front of him was really his disciple Raymond, and exclaimed: "So, the situation in the Endless Sea is really so bad? The Potion Masters Guild has been controlled by the World Headquarters." ?”

"Ah."

Raymond nodded and said, "Maybe it's even worse."

Aldrich's expression became a little dignified, and he immediately guessed: "So, you may be leaving the Black Sea soon?"

Raymond blinked, wanting to make the atmosphere more relaxed, and asked with a smile, "You know?"

Aldrich glanced at him, and said in a strange tone: "You, a dignified 'endless emperor', can stay in this corner of the Black Sea for a long time? This sea area can't support a big fish like you."

"..."

Raymond shrugged noncommittally, the old man was as shrewd as ever.

As Aldridge said, he suddenly let out another long sigh, and said, "From the moment you entered the door, I guessed that you were not only here to visit me, an old man, but also to say goodbye. With great power comes great responsibility. The bigger it is, the stronger the wind and the waves on the other side of the endless sea, you must be involved..."

Hearing this, Lei Meng looked slightly complicated.

My own teacher always understands me as a disciple.

Aldrich: "Are you not sure about the endless sea?"

Raymond shook his head and said nothing.

The enemy is the entire world headquarters, as well as the mysterious and unpredictable evil god, who can say with any certainty?

Even if he has awakened [Divine Physique Explosive Qi Sea] now, he is not at all sure.

"Hey..."

Aldridge glanced at him, sighed slightly, and continued: "Raymond, you are my disciple, but your current achievements have far surpassed being a teacher... I am very pleased. The old man can't help now. I have nothing to do with you, and I have nothing to persuade you. I just hope that when you return to the Black Sea next time...if I'm still alive, we, master and apprentice, can meet again and have a few words..."

As soon as the old man said this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became very sad.

Aldridge let out another long breath, and said, "Raymond, you must remember that you are the proudest disciple of the teacher in this life. No matter what time it is, the Black Sea is your home, and the teacher welcomes you home anytime. .”

"Well, thank you teacher."
