Chapter 195: Group Meeting

Locke looked at the Tombstone Grimoire. “The Tombstone Grimoire contains a method for creating relatively pure ancient blood essence.”

“But this will cost a lot of money.” Locke read the knowledge in the magic book and thought: “It will cost about two thousand magic stones.”

“I only have a little over 8,800 magic stones in savings right now, and I still have a lot of money to spend. I hope the academy can quickly send me the money I earned this month for treatment, as well as two outstanding project grants.”

Locke pondered, “But I still have to spend the money. It’s all for the sake of improving my physique so I can enjoy taking banned d*rugs more happily in the future.”

Locke was about to go to the Chimera Market to buy the necessary experimental materials, equipment, and consumables, but at this time, Angelo and Aisi also came to visit.

The two of them came because they had agreed to go to the third floor of the Healing Hands Treatment Center for a group meeting this afternoon.

The Healing Hands holds a group meeting every month. Potion master assistants like them can go or not, but Locke was specifically invited to this group meeting. Locke guessed that this might be related to the third phase trial of his Bear Spirit Green Gall Potion.

When Angelo and Aisi saw Locke open the door of the laboratory, they looked at Locke’s laboratory curiously. When they saw an amber-like fossil on Locke’s laboratory table, they were stunned for a moment and didn’t understand what it was.

Angelo smiled at Locke and said, “Locke, Aisi and I haven’t seen you much in the office of the treatment center this week.”

“Without you, Aisi and I have become a little out of things to talk about lately.”

Ai Xi said angrily, “Isn’t it because every time you talk to me, you brag about your achievements? Who wants to listen to you talk like you’re giving a report every day?”

“You’re not my boss!”

“I feel much more comfortable with Locke. Locke hardly speaks in the office. He keeps his head down every day, and I don’t know what he’s reading.”

Angelo smiled and said, “This might be genius.”

Although Angelo and Aisi’s magic power is currently at the same level as Locke’s, because the Bear Spirit Green Gall Potion that Locke made at the Healing Hands Clinic is too awesome, the two senior first-class wizard apprentices now have the upper hand over Locke.

Moreover, the two of them didn’t seem to be particularly outstanding among Edwin’s students, otherwise they wouldn’t be allowed to work in the treatment center.

Angelo turned serious to Locke and said, “Locke, the team meeting is about to start. We came here specially to go with you.”

“Although your mentor, Witch Sophia, didn’t come to the group meeting this time, the three official wizards specifically notified you. This shows how much they value you. I think this is also conveying the opinions of the academy’s top management.”

Locke nodded. Although he wanted to concentrate on his research, he had no choice. He was too busy and was needed in many places.

It seems that recruiting more assistants is inevitable.

Unfortunately, if Witch Sophia had her own network of relationships, it would be more reliable for her to directly use the brothers and sisters in the network.

The interests of both parties are more closely tied together.

Locke and the other two, each riding an Engel’s spinning snail, headed towards the valley where the Healing Hands Clinic was located.

Locke and others went straight to the third floor. Along the way, the potion master’s assistants and patients all saluted Locke slightly or nodded in greeting.

The outstanding apprentice badge that Locke wore was enough to make most first-class wizard apprentices nod in agreement with him.

Especially recently, he has become famous in the Healing Hands Clinic and earned great honor.

Locke’s level is gradually rising, entering the middle level of first-class wizard apprentices, and even catching up with the top group of first-class wizard apprentices.

On the third floor of the Healing Hands, in the conference room, a large round table was already filled with people. They were all the most outstanding first-class wizard apprentices in the Healing Hands treatment center, and there were three official wizards in charge of presiding over the meeting.

Among them was the wizard Derek Jones, who had been responsible for the assessment of Locke’s potion master assistant. Wizard Derek Jones nodded slightly to Locke, and Locke saluted him.

The three official wizards sat at the three front seats of the round table, while the first seat on the left side of the round table was empty because it was reserved for the speaker at the group meeting.

There is a white cloth hanging on the wall of the conference room facing the round table. It is the light and shadow screen.

Sometimes, when a wizard needs to demonstrate information, he will use light and shadow magic to magnify the information and project it onto a light and shadow screen so that everyone can see the information on the light and shadow screen.

When Wizard Edwin saw Angelo, Icy and the others trying to sit at the last few seats at the oval table, he coughed and said to Locke, “Locke, Angelo, Icy, you can sit next to me.”

“Today, when we conduct the report, you are one of the protagonists.”

“You’d better sit in the front row.”

“Come on, all of you, move back and make room for Locke and his team to have three seats. Those of you who don’t have a report to make today don’t have to sit at the long oval table.”

Locke naturally had no objection. In fact, he could sit anywhere, even if he was asked to move a small stool and sit at the door like the first-class wizard apprentices in this conference room.

But Angelo and Aisi, like ostriches, hunched their heads and sat anxiously in the front seats of the long oval table.

To be honest, the two of them rarely sat in such front seats, whether in Wizard Edwin’s academic conference or in the group meeting of the Healing Hands Clinic.

After all, they don’t usually have any achievements to report, so if they are really asked to report, they will be speechless.

Today, they were asked to sit in the front of the group meeting. Their faces turned red, their heartbeats became very fast, and they couldn’t help but get nervous.

Locke was sitting next to Wizard Edwin. He bowed to Wizard Edwin, and Wizard Edwin was also so polite to Locke that he curled up the corners of his mouth and showed a satisfied smile.

At the same time, sitting across from the long oval table in the group meeting was Angron, a first-class wizard apprentice and a wizard seed in the field of potions at Lilith’s cottage.

Angron’s face darkened the moment he saw Locke, but when Locke looked back at him, he smiled again and said cheerfully, “Brother Locke, this must be your first time attending a group meeting at the treatment center.”

“I didn’t see you the first few times. Hahaha, don’t be nervous. You have a project on hand, so there’s no need to be too nervous.”

Locke frowned slightly, “Senior Angron, you misunderstood. I’m not nervous.”

Angron’s smile froze for a moment, but then he gave Locke a seemingly easygoing smile. “That’s good.”

Wizard Edwin glanced at the meeting participants and tapped his fingers on the table. “Everyone is here. I will preside over this meeting.”

“First, let’s review the work we’ve done at the treatment center this month. I want to make it clear to you that the academy is placing increasing emphasis on the work we do at the treatment center. I hope some of you won’t be as perfunctory about your work as you have been in the past.”

“Angron, since you’re here for the team meeting, why don’t you tell us about your Angron Studio’s work this month and any future plans?”
