"Right now?"
The black-robed old man noticed Merlin moving the glassware, looking as if he was about to make potions.
"Yes, right now. I've also done some research on potion-making during my time in the Dark Magic Region, hence it'll probably help in increasing the success rate."
Naturally, Merlin could not reveal his biggest secret – the Matrix – to anyone. Therefore, he could only mention that he had spent time researching potions in the Dark Magic Region to avoid suspicion from the black-robed old man.
In fact, Merlin had secretly activated the Matrix and began preparing Purple Stone Powder Potion according to the steps provided by the Matrix.
Merlin handled the potion ingredients with care and started preparing the potion step by step. The black-robed old man opened his mouth but said nothing although his eyes were filled with gratitude.
