This was the repeated ssage coming from the clans and guilds he already had dealt with. He didn't know that the actual number of mages being infected was much higher than what these clans and guilds asked for.
These clans and guilds weren't ignorant to that, or acting stingy, as the orders coming from their headquarters stated to ask for a small amount of potions first.
Their clans and guilds had already sent very experienced potion masters to analyze this potion, in a try to mimic Arthur's actions and make these potions by themselves.
These clans and guilds suspected that this place was already infected for a long ti with this strange toxin, as more mages passed through this place, and all started to show signs of being intoxicated with this mysterious toxin.
For them, having this potion formula ant not only to cure their mages, but also a source of great wealth, and a ans to have more privilege over random mages. They tried to decipher this potion, but so far they failed miserably in this.
The competition was about to start soon, and so their superiors instructed them to ask for another batch of potions, making the reserve Arthur had of it be depleted.
Arthur just inspected his rings, to find many materials, monster cores, bird's wings, and even weapons lying peacefully there in great quantities, making his smile be much bigger.
He didn't delay as he sent these clans and guilds the potions they asked for, knowing that in the competition, their infected mages would relapse with ti, showing more severe symptoms, making him gain more than he was right now.
Also he would keep this as a pressure card, a hidden weapon against any clan or guild that would be foolish enough to target him or his team inside this trial.
He had his reserve depleted, and so he needed to make more!
"Take these bird's wings everyone, they are all connected to . when the ti of the trial to start approaches, just inform at once."
He gave one thousand bird's wings to Alia and Ron to spread them among everyone, and then he started to move away from here. They wanted to ask him about where he was going, but they didn't as they knew he must have a good reason to disappear from here at this ti.
The sun was already heading to its demise, as this day would end and the night would start. Arthur had a feeling that the trial might start at dawn, or best at the late hours of the day, which would give him more ti to make potions.
Arthur didn't realize he was watched, not only by the mages partaking in this trial, but also from the keen eyes of Amanda, who didn't lift her eye off him even for a single mont.
The fight she stepped into made a huge storm already inside her soul. She heard what Tony said with Dern, and knew what he did, destroying the paper that contained the results of Arthur's test.
She didn't move against Tony, as just destroying the results like this wasn't enough reason for her to punish him. she was certain, this Tony was just deviled as anyone coming from the major clans and guilds.
Despite being one of these mages, she had already severed any relation with her clan, as part of the treason ca by the support of the major clans and guilds, including hers.
She watched Arthur going deep into the forest, being followed by many mages, while her mind was thinking hard about the origin of Arthur.
What she sensed of his body gave her a clear understanding of how powerful he currently was. Such a strong mage couldn't simply be without an inner demon, unless he was himself one of those ancient monsters of the old tis.
As she sat inside her palace in the academy, she had several books opened in front of her, as her eyes were reading these texts, jumping over one legend after another, while her mind kept observing Arthur and wondering what he was going to do right now.
Arthur walked for an hour, before he selected a spot where he could work without being seen. This place was a small hill, surrounded by thick trees that looked like a giant sleeping on the ground among the dim dying light of the day.
He already sensed those mages following him, and he didn't care about their spying, as he would work on the potion here, and they wouldn't tell what he was doing.
The next thing he did was to get out all his materials, started a fire, and laid down his cauldron over it.
"Oh, interesting, quite interesting. You are going to make potions at this tight ti, are you nervous?"
Amanda just muttered these words, as she was already surprised by what Arthur was doing. She closed the book in hand, as she started to closely observe what he was making.
"A healing potion? Hmm…" she just muttered softly as her mind instantly recognized the type of potion he was making. "Your steps and line of thoughts are really revolutionary, but this potion is limited by the materials you are using. Either you are limited by the resources in your hand, or you are faking this potion for so reason."
With just this single glance, she managed to see through him. she felt he was faking this potion, and that thought made her much more interested in him. so, she widened her gaze and started to search wide for places around the academy, as her guts told her whatever he was making, it was related to so place close to here.
In two hours, as Arthur was successfully making tons of his potions, Amanda managed to spot the place of the lake, where she sensed the presence of the airborne, very rare toxin there.
"The dark side, again?!!!" this ti she was really stimulated by this, as she found traces of the notorious dark mages there.
