Chapter 525 Raul Joins

o was so scared, she ran back home."“Everything else is fine, but when it comes to women, you must hold back. Before you marry Lian Yi, you must remain chaste. Once you're married, everything will be...Raul gently brushed his long hair, smiling at Ripple.

I prefer my original hair color better.

"Lord Rice should know your true identity, but he wants to take advantage of the situation, so he pretended to be close to you. Although you used him as a test subject and embarrassed him, he still achieved his goal. In the end, he just made a scene at the Apothecary Association, causing you to lose your apothecary license. He didn't really intend to do anything serious to you."

The ripples smiled and said.

"Young Master Lian's analysis is very accurate, I've known all of this for a long time. Anyway, everyone takes what they need. I wonder what brings you to me"

Raul walked and talked, also guessing Ripples' identity.

This ripple was not surprised at all. Just like she knew Raoul, as a top-tier family on the continent, there were more or less intersections between each other. Even if they hadn't met, they had heard of each other's names, especially Ripple's black hair and purple eyes were too obvious, it wasn't strange that Raoul could recognize her.

"I'm traveling with Lady Leia of the Han family, and we're looking for a medic. I'd like to invite you to join us. What do you think"

What is the compensation for inviting me to join

Raul asked bluntly.

You are an apothecary, and one of the most top-tier innovative types. The materials you use for compounding must be numerous and diverse. Now that you have been stripped of your apothecary's license, it means that you will no longer receive discounts when purchasing raw materials.

Procuring herbs is a crucial expense for pharmacists. By joining our team, we can prioritize the harvesting of the herbs you need, and if necessary, we can even assist you with testing them.

A small ripple sent a compliment, then realistically laid out some enticing conditions.

After hearing this, Raul stopped walking, stared at the ripples, and after a moment said:

"I'm actually brewing a new potion right now, and I need a 'Ghostflower'. Could you perhaps harvest one for me"

"It's a bit challenging, but I can give it a try."

Ripples didn't shut down the conversation, but agreed to give it a try.

"If you can help me find the Soulflower, I will consider joining your party."

Raul this time didn't evade the topic, but spoke directly.

"That's great, how will we let you know when we leave"

Ripples got straight to the point and asked for the other person's address.

“I should be kicked out of the Pharmacists Association today, and I'll have nowhere to live.”

Raul spread his hands.

The Pharmacist Association has some vacant rooms and rents them out to pharmacists at a very low price. This is both a way for the association to support pharmacists and a source of income for the association, even if it's not much.

"Well, then, grab your things and come with me! Leia should have found a place to stay by now."

With a wave of his hand, Ripples indicated that they should leave now.

"Well then, I happen to have everything with me anyway."

Raul patted his belt, indicating that everything was put into the belt space.

The ripples brought Raoul and the gatekeeper, La Forge, together, and the trio then went to see Leia.

When Leia saw Raul, she felt like she knew him. After hearing his name, she became enthusiastic. The Hani family was a second-rate family, and they were able to contact the Rhodeman family because of her father's relationship.

As for top-tier alchemist families like the Mousse family, she rarely interacted with them. This was because Raoul wasn't a direct descendant of the Mousse family and it was easier for him to cooperate with these second-rate families, as long as the terms were agreeable.

After they both recognized each other, Ripple asked Leira about the gray threads they had found:

"Leia, have you found any relevant information in the spellbooks"

"Lily, I'm so sorry! That's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about."

Leia said with great remorse.

I went through all the magic books I could find, but there was no mention of this gray thread whatsoever. Here in Angleton, there aren't many books on magic to begin with, and I couldn't borrow a comprehensive one right away, so I contacted my father.

"Father was very concerned about our discovery and arranged for Grey to send the objects back to the family immediately. He will also have all the clan members who entered the Phantasmal Beast Space this year checked, to see if anyone else finds anything similar."

For this matter, Leah dared not conceal anything. Her actions were also within Ripple's expectations, so she didn't feel surprised at all.

"This is nothing major, the Magical Continent is so vast, there are many things we don't know, and it's normal not to be able to find out. It's also normal to rely on family power in this situation."

What are you talking about

Raul asked with great interest.

Ripple motioned for Leia to explain the situation to Raoul. It was best for this news to spread quickly. The Raoul family were alchemists, and they also made contracts with magical beasts to assist in alchemy. They definitely had family members who had gone to the magical beast space this year, so it was necessary to let Raoul know.

Liri then turned to contact her father. If she remembered correctly, her good brother Emilio was the one who had bonded with a mythical beast this year.

His phantom beast is 'Gigasaur', a terrestrial phantom beast with powerful offensive capabilities. It combines the sturdy physique of a rhinoceros with the agility and powerful bite of a crocodile, making it one of the strongest support units. This was also a plus factor for Emilio in regaining his heir status.

When Connor Rodman saw his young son's communication magic circle, he was still a little surprised. His son had only been gone for less than half a month. It seemed he must have encountered some tricky problem and resorted to using the magic circle to communicate with him.

"Lily, is there something that's happened that you can't solve"

"Yes, Father! It's a bit tricky, I hope Father can intervene."

Ripple bowed respectfully and then told them about encountering a raging bull beast, as well as Mark and Philip and his phantom.

“I took the gray energy threads I extracted from Mark and entrusted them to Leia. She couldn’t figure out what they were, so she sent them back to the Hanni family with Greyson, her golden knight, asking my father to contact Uncle Shang for details.”

Besides, this year family members who have formed contracts with Phantasmal Beasts, Father might as well find a reason to investigate them all, especially Emilio.

"I understand! I hope your findings are just a hiccup, and not the whole picture."

As the head of the Rhoden family, he carried a heavy burden, but he also believed his youngest son wouldn't act without reason.

After ending his call with Lian, Rhodem made the same decision as Monk Haggai, the headmaster. He conducted a census of all the members who had formed contracts with mythical beasts this year, and they found the same problem that Lian had mentioned.

Some of these people have a hidden gray power within them. If you don't look closely, you won't find it at all. Even the person themselves doesn't realize it. This gray power is clearly in its dormant period and doesn't become stronger as the host's cultivation level increases, so it was easily extracted.

The next problem is the unknown power within these fantastical beasts. Lower-ranked fantastical beasts are easier to handle, but higher-ranked ones have self-preservation instincts and won't allow their core to be invaded.he young lady immediately reminded,"This place is farther away from the main road, you should consider safety issues living here alone."But my Federal currency isn't enough, so I can only afford such...
