While Adam was gently massaging his forehead in an aggrieved manner, Berger was intently inspecting the potions the youth had brought.
After a few minutes of scrutiny, Berger shook his head with slight disappointment. "This batch of Broken Oath is identical to the ones already in the market."
Deep down he was expecting Adam to once again bring a new recipe for the potion, but he was simply wishful thinking. Apart from that, he was quite impressed by Adam's progress in herbalism.
"You seem to have improved a lot, boy." The old gnome nodded in approval.
Adam replied smugly, "Of course! I'm a genius, kekeke!"
However, inwardly he was thinking, How can my herbalism not improve when I have thousands of years worth of experience in my head?
Berger simply rolled his eyes at the youth. He didn't care to admonish such behavior, after all, Adam had every right to be arrogant. In fact, even his own rate of progress couldn't match Adam's.
