Chapter 35 What a good student!
Chapter 35 What a good student!
"Hiss..." Lucian leaned back tactically, suddenly feeling that Carly's figure was a little strange.
It seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light, making it extremely dazzling.
After shaking his head vigorously, Lucian finally got rid of these strange thoughts in his mind, but when he looked at Carly, who seemed a little reserved at this time, his smile unconsciously became more kind.
You must know that for Lucian now, the reverence value is as precious as the magic stone, or even more precious.
After all, Lucian had gained some supplements after killing Apollo. At least he was no longer as tight on magic stones as before.
But after upgrading the system, Lucian now needs a large amount of reverence points to be put into the identification module of the system to accelerate his learning and progress in pharmacy.
From this perspective, Carly herself is Lucian's most valuable production resource, bar none.
Thinking of this, Lucian felt that he needed to do something, and then extract some respect points from Carly, the "little rich woman".
And coincidentally, there was the wizard's robe that he had just repaired. Originally, Lucian planned to keep it in his hands for a while, and then give it to Carly as a reward when she performed well. However, now for the sake of respect, Lucian flexibly exercised his principles.
"Here, this is for you." Lucian smiled and handed the wizard robe to Carly.
"Thank you, Tutor Lucian." Carly subconsciously stretched out her hands to take the wizard robe that Lucian handed over, but soon she noticed something unusual about this wizard robe.
"Teacher Lucian, this..." Carly felt that this wizard robe was really hot to her hands and hurriedly wanted to return it.
She knew that Lucian was a little tight on money. Even the wizard robe used by Teacher Lucian himself is just an ordinary piece of clothing, but this wizard robe is obviously a precious witchcraft tool.
"It's not of much use to me." Lucian smiled and handed the wizard robe to Carly, with encouragement in his eyes.
"No, no! According to the principle of equal exchange..." Carly's voice was a little soft, and her head was buzzing.
In her heart, Carly couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity: while other new bloods were still racking their brains to protect their due interests and fighting wits and courage with their mentors and some senior brothers and sisters. On his side, he was racking his brains to think about what he should repay in order to be worthy of mentor Lucian's unilateral contribution.
She was really embarrassed!
After all, since she just entered the academy, Lucian can be said to have led her step by step on the wizarding path. There is nothing she can do to help her mentor Lucian...
Not to mention that Teacher Lucian has invested in her many times. Even the alchemy armor she is wearing now is still a magic stone paid for by Teacher Lucian.
Although Teacher Lucian had originally said that she would have to pay back the magic stones for the light armor herself. But until now, Tutor Lucian has never urged him to return the magic stone.
Isn't this equivalent to a gift in disguise?
Carly bit her lip gently, looked at the wizard robe in her hand, her eyes gradually became firm.
"I...I can't have it!" Carly took a step back, mustered up her courage, raised her head, and looked at Lucian.
If she accepted it, she would really feel a little uneasy.
Lucian looked at the stubborn Carly and tapped his fingers on the table subconsciously.
Carly noticed the small movements of Lucian's fingers, and she couldn't help but lower her head, feeling uneasy. After all, the matter itself of a student disobeying his instructor is very serious.
[Your student Carly is in awe of you, reverence value +5]
"Okay, then let's follow the rules of equal exchange between wizards." Lucian looked at Carly, who was looking anxious at this time, and said after thinking for a while.
"I am going to try pharmacy during this period, so you will first be my experimental assistant and help me with odd jobs. Although it is still a bit reluctant for you to handle some materials now, but it is like cleaning test tubes and tidying up the laboratory. I'll leave the chores to you. After you solidify a few more spiritual runes and reach the standard of strength, I will gradually teach you about potion science. However, by then, you will also have to be responsible for some matters concerning the pharmacist apprentice. Get up."
"Yes!" When Carly heard Lucian's arrangement, she couldn't help but raise her head, her eyes were even crooked, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face.
[Your student Carly respects you, her reverence value +10]
Lucian couldn't help but feel speechless when he looked at Carly who was smiling innocently.
Other wizard students would never take the initiative without being told by their instructors, but why did Carly take the initiative when it came to her? This made the reward he mentioned later seem insignificant.
Well, he even "rewarded" himself with 10 points of reverence.
Lucian knocked on the table slightly to attract Carly's attention, and then he spoke.
"It takes about four hours a day, during which I will also teach you about potions, so the reward won't be too high...just two magic stones a week. In this way, it can be regarded as an equal exchange."
Carly blinked. These days, she has been communicating with other new bloods a lot, so Carly is also very clear about the situation of other new bloods.
To learn the basics of pharmacy from other wizards, you need to pay at least twenty magic stones as tuition. Instructor Lucian said he was an experimental assistant, but in fact he was allowed to study pharmacy with him; other wizard apprentices helped the instructor with chores, which was what they should do. But when he arrived at Tutor Lucian's place, he seriously talked to him about "equivalent exchange"?
Carly felt that the word equivalent exchange was being used badly in Tutor Lucian's place.
"I, I don't use magic stones." After Carly made sure that Teacher Lucian was not angry, she spoke carefully, trying to safeguard Lucian's interests.
"Exchange of equal value!" Lucian made a serious face and pretended to hit Carly on the head with his finger.
"Then...a magic stone...one magic stone is enough, no, no higher!" Carly looked at Lucian and weakly stretched out a finger.
She really felt that she was not worth the price. Although she was very touched by the help given to her by her mentor Lucian, Carly said that she also had principles!
[Your student Carly respects you, her reverence value +50]
Just when Carly tried to bargain in reverse, Lucian received a prompt from the system.
Lucian:! ! !
After the shock, Lucian looked at Carly, his eyes extremely soft.
What a great student!

"Deal!" Lucian looked at Carly, thought for a moment, and nodded seriously.
Carly secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's it. One magic stone a week is the basis. If you work hard and don't make mistakes, then add more. This will also give full play to your enthusiasm for work!" Lucian nodded, feeling Carly's suggestion. Very well put.
Carly: Σ()
That's really not what she meant...
"Okay, don't waste time, hurry up and start today's assistant work." Lucian gently patted Carly, who was still a little confused at this time, but he was in a very good mood.
After all, he just directly gained 50 points of reverence, which is much more valuable to Lucian at this stage than the magic stone!
Then, Lucian pointed to the wizard robe, "Even if this is 80 magic stones, before that, I won't pay you any salary...well, it's just a reward."
Carly, after being stunned for a while, slowly lowered her head. After hesitating for a moment, she silently took out her notebook, then opened the last page and began to record a special "account book".Buy bestselling books online
I owe mentor Lucian a magic stone..." Carly quickly recorded it. At the same time, she looked at the many IOUs that had not been "crossed out" in the ledger, and felt a little heavy in her heart.
Before, Carly had always maintained a mentality of "get on the bus first and pay for the ticket later", but now Carly was doubting whether she had the ability to get on the bus again.
"Stop standing there stupidly. It's still the same old rules. If you delay for three hours, I will have to extend the time." Lucian looked at Carly, who was still standing at the door a little stupidly, and smiled. A reminder.
Carly then trotted in as if waking up from a dream.
"I'm going to teach you some of the most basic pharmacy operations first. Then when I prepare the pharmaceuticals, you will need to assist me in completing some of these mechanized tasks." Lucian looked at Carly, paused and said.
"After you are familiar with these tasks, and when your mental power reaches the standard, then some pharmacy processing methods that require mental assistance to operate. I will teach you step by step at that time, but by that time, some work of processing materials It will also be handed over to you."
Carly nodded slightly. After the ideological struggle just now, she now has a clear goal.
If possible, I must become an excellent pharmacist, and then do my best so that I can truly help Master Lucian instead of always hiding behind Master Lucian.
Thinking of this, a fire called fighting spirit began to burn in Carly's eyes.
"This feeling of not having to do it yourself seems to be quite good." Lucian sat on the chair, watching Carly carefully cleaning the set of equipment needed to prepare the medicine, while making plans in his mind. Placement in Pharmacy.
"At this stage, for me, the most suitable potions for improving mental strength are the Calming Potion and the Praise of the Moon." Lucian tapped his fingers on the table, "However, the configuration of these two potions is very difficult. Moreover, the price of raw materials is relatively high. If I fail several times in a row, I will not have enough magic stones. If I want to continue trying, I will need to sell the materials. "
"So it's best to choose a relatively easy potion for practice first, accumulate some experience, and at the same time earn some magic stones with the potion..." Lucian thought while sorting out the existing materials in his hand.
"Just prepare a recovery potion. The original owner has practiced the preparation of this potion before, so it is more or less a reference. And I can just make up a few copies from the existing materials, so there is no need to go to the trading area to buy it."
Soon, Lucian made a decision. With a wave of his hand, he took out the three materials needed to prepare the recovery potion from the space ring.
Blue ring mushrooms, healing grass and cold water grass.
"If there wasn't a clear record on the formula, who would have thought that the highly poisonous blue-ringed mushroom is the core material of the recovery potion?" After Lucian put on his gloves, he picked up a blue-ringed mushroom about the size of an adult's thumb. mushroom. The surface of this mushroom has beautiful blue circle-like lines. If you gently pinch the handle of the mushroom with your fingers, you can even squeeze out a translucent mucus.
Lucian took out a blunt scraper and gently scraped the translucent mucus on the blue-ringed mushroom. At the same time, he was extremely careful not to let the scraper scratch the surface of the blue-ringed mushroom.
This kind of mucus is highly toxic. Once it contaminates the effective parts inside the blue ring mushroom, the blue ring mushroom will be useless!
Moreover, because this natural toxin targets nervous tissue, it can even contaminate the wizard's mental power. Therefore, in the detoxification step, you cannot use your mental power to assist at all. You must be highly concentrated to ensure that you do not make mistakes!
After carefully peeling away the toxic mucus secreted from the surface of the blue mushroom, Lucian quickly waved a silver dagger and quickly chopped the blue mushroom into pieces.
The cut surface of the blue mushroom is pure white at first, but as it is exposed to the air, the components inside it are also rapidly oxidized, causing the cut surface to gradually turn light blue. As time goes by, the color becomes darker and darker. .
Lucian did not dare to hesitate and quickly poured these preliminary processed blue mushrooms into the crucible. Then he quickly grabbed the cold water grass on the side, quickly squeezed out the light blue juice inside and poured it into the crucible.
Gululu... As the cold waterweed juice was poured in, a large number of bubbles emerged from the inside of the crucible, and the two different substances began to react violently.
Lucian picked up the glass rod and started stirring. At the same time, his mental power also used the glass rod as a medium to reach into the "boiling" liquid. It began to act as a buffer for the two active ingredients, allowing the reaction of the blue mushroom and cold waterweed juice to change from the original Mutual consumption becomes a slow but constant fusion.
This process seems simple, but it places a huge burden on mental energy. It not only requires the pharmacist's mental energy to maintain high-precision fine control for a long time, but also has an extremely low error tolerance rate. It could be just a tiny mistake that leads to ultimate failure.
The fusion is still proceeding slowly and steadily, the semi-finished medicine liquid in the crucible is slowly bubbling, and the color of the medicine is also slowly changing.
As time passed, there were small beads of sweat on Lucian's forehead.
Suddenly, Lucian's temples jumped slightly.
laugh--
As Lucian's mental power slightly lost control, the entire potion suddenly boiled. Then the color of the potion quickly turned blue, and a puff of black smoke appeared. Along with it, there was a stench similar to that of rotting objects.
"Failed." Lucian put down the glass rod helplessly, but he did not immediately clean up the failed product. Instead, he spent 1 point of reverence to appraise it.
[Item]: Unnamed poison
[Positioning]: Potion·Poison
[Raw materials]: Cold water grass, blue mushroom
[Explanation]: The product of the pharmacist's apprentice's failure to prepare the recovery potion, which smells like decay. However, due to the operation of the reckless pharmacist apprentice, the toxic effect inside the blue ring mushroom was greatly stimulated, giving it micro-toxins that can cause mild diarrhea.
[detail]:...
Lucian's mouth couldn't help but twitch as he looked at this extremely detailed appraisal report. I feel that this appraisal report is a bit too insulting.

Chapter 37 Successful Refining; Unexpected Task
It would be better to just say that the preparation failed!
Lu Xian complained in his heart, but quickly took out another set of configuration materials from the space ring.
"Come again!" Lucian dealt with the blue ring mushroom again and quickly repeated the operation just now.
This time Lucian paid special attention to his mistakes just now, and was more meticulous in handling his mental power.
Soon, the active ingredients of the two materials in the crucible gradually began to fuse. When the fusion reached a certain level, it seemed that the quantitative change caused a qualitative change. As a large burst of bubbles popped out, the liquid layer that originally seemed somewhat distinct Blends quickly.
fire! Lucian quickly adjusted the alchemy witch formation responsible for providing flames, causing the originally mild alchemy witch formation to spit out tongues of golden-white flames.
Gululu... the liquid began to boil at an accelerated rate, and steam continued to emerge at the same time.
The last step!
Lucian picked up a healing grass, tore it into pieces with his hands, and then threw it into the crucible.
…
"Successful." After the crucible cooled down, Lucian looked at the liquid medicine that had been successfully layered in the crucible and couldn't help but smile.
He carefully separated out the dark green potion on the top layer and put it inside a test tube dedicated to storing the finished potion.
"Close to 1.2 standard units." The corners of Lucian's mouth curled up slightly.
"Appraisal!" After calming down a little, he spent another 1 point to appraise the finished medicine this time.
[Item]: Fake recovery potion
[Positioning]: Pharmacy·Restoration category
[Raw materials]: Cold water grass, blue mushroom, healing grass
[Description]: The recovery potion prepared by the pharmacist apprentice, but due to major errors in operation, the finished potion is defective...
[detail]:...
"It turns out that there are so many problems with my preparation this time..." Lucian felt very good looking at this detailed appraisal report, especially the densely listed misoperations.
After all, when practicing, what you fear most is not making mistakes, but not knowing where you made mistakes and how to correct them.
With reference to this appraisal result, Lucian had a very clear direction!
"Continue!" Lucian's eyes were filled with passion. He found that it was wonderful to be able to constantly feel his level improving.
Time always seems to fly very fast in such a single but fulfilling day.
In addition to giving Carly daily teaching as an adjustment, Lucian spent several days in the laboratory with these medicines.
Although it seems a bit boring, it is very rewarding.
"Huh... after preparing it hundreds of times, I finally succeeded in making such a perfect potion." Lucian picked up the test tube in his hand and looked at the crystal clear emerald liquid inside, with a trace of obsession in his eyes.
This potion was a perfect product without a single flaw after he appraised it. Even in appearance and color, it was completely different from ordinary recovery potions!
According to the information given by the appraisal, this perfect level of potion will be more pure in efficacy, and at the same time, the effect will be greatly improved compared to ordinary potions! Lucian carefully collected the perfect potion, and then looked at the test tube rack aside where the finished potion was temporarily stored. His face couldn't help but reveal the joy on his face, like the face of an old farmer after the autumn harvest.
"There are a total of 150 materials, and a total of 51 successes were achieved. 13 of the recovery potions are defective and defective products. However, this success rate is considered to be a high success rate even among pharmacists. Approved." Lucian nodded with satisfaction.
"And after having the experience of preparing a perfect recovery potion, I feel that my understanding of recovery potions has deepened a lot. If I prepare recovery potions in the future, my success rate should be further improved. But now, it is time to These potions have been exchanged for lovely magic stones."
Lucian waved his hand and put away the recovery potions that were ready to be traded, and he was in a very good mood.
"Teacher Lucian! Tutor Lucian!" Suddenly, Carly ran back from outside the house. She looked at Lucian, but there was a trace of panic in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Lucian frowned as he looked at Carly's appearance at this time.
"Huh..." Carly panted heavily. After a moment of relief, she raised her head, but her eyes were extremely anxious, "I, I just listened to the exchange between two third-level wizard apprentices. They said Lucian Mentor, you have been assigned a mandatory mission to die!"
"A mandatory mission to die?" Lucian was stunned for a moment, but soon Norian's pale yellow eyes, as cold as poisonous snakes, appeared in his mind.
"Yes..." Carly wanted to say something, but at this moment, there was a strange quacking sound in the air, and then a red-eyed crow with the metal badge of Ashbone Academy on its sharp talons landed on At the entrance of Lucian's laboratory.
The scarlet eyes of the red-eyed crow looked at Lucian, seemingly confirming his identity.
Then, it opened its mouth and spat out a mission scroll with the imprint of the Academy of Ashes. "Lucian Kevin, this is your mandatory mission. According to the contract, you need to set off within one month after the academy's triennial mandatory mission is distributed, and start performing the mission within three months..."
Carly wanted to say something, but Lucian stopped her with a look.
Lucian looked unusually calm at this time. He looked at the red-eyed crow that was about to fly away, and a magic stone appeared in his hand. "Lord Harrington?"
The red-eyed crow was also attracted by the magic stone in Lucian's hand, and it couldn't help but stay in mid-air. "Magic Stone? Harrington likes Magic Stones!"
"Mr. Harrington, can you tell me which member of the school committee issued this mission?" Lucian threw his hand, and the magic stone flew towards the red-eyed crow in mid-air.
There was a hint of hesitation in the eyes of the red-eyed crow, but after seeing a small handful of magic stones appear in Lucian's hand, it flapped its wings and flew to Lucian's side. While taking the magic stone away, it also used the magic stone that only the two of them could. A clear voice quickly announced a name.
Lucian's eyes narrowed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Sure enough." Lu Xian said silently, then raised his head and watched the red-eyed crow gradually fly away.
"Teacher Lucian, can you refuse..." Carly looked at Lucian with anxiety in her heart.
After all, she had just heard the discussion between the two third-level wizard apprentices, and their tone sounded a little gloating and lucky.
Moreover, it seems that several wizard apprentices have died before this mandatory task! There was even a third-level wizard apprentice!

Chapter 38 Lucian's Thoughts
Chapter 38 Lucian's Thoughts
Lucian looked at Carly and slowly shook his head.
Then he unfolded the mission scroll and read the contents in detail.
[Task] Investigate the disappearance of apprentice Erno Shay
[Description] Erno Shay, the wizard stationed on Kosai Island, has lost contact with the academy for half a year. During this period, the college sent witchcraft apprentices to investigate, but they were unsuccessful. According to reliable information, the last sighting of Erno Shay before his disappearance was in the village of Lockerbie next to the Zibal Forest on Kosay Island...
[Requirements] (Complete one of these to complete the task) (To be completed by the three apprentices responsible for this task)
1. Investigate the mystery of the disappearance of the wizard apprentice Erno Shay, and solve the mystery behind it Supernatural events.
2. Replace Erno Shay and stationed on Kosai Island for 3 years to ensure a smooth supply of moonlight moss.
"Huh." Lucian closed the mission scroll and let out a breath.
Carly still wanted to say something at this time, but Lucian interrupted what she wanted to say. "This is a mandatory task, so stop talking, Carly."
Carly was silent.
There is a clear hierarchy within Ashbone Academy. In addition to the dean who is sitting high in the clouds, the official wizard, the third-level wizard apprentice and other weak apprentices constitute three different classes with clear distinctions.
Perhaps the third-level wizard apprentice is superior to the weaker apprentices, playing the role of a real exploiter. But in front of the official wizard, the third-level wizard apprentice can only play the identity of an exploited person, and the mandatory task once every three years, which is the most naked manifestation, cannot be refused as long as it is arranged.
Of course, because of the contract, it is impossible for Ashbone Academy to set up some tasks that deliberately let apprentices die, such as letting a third-level wizard apprentice directly face official wizards from other forces.
But most of these rigid regulations have loopholes that can be exploited. For example, the investigation task Lucian received was very simple from the description and complied with the provisions of the contract.
However, if we look at the specific circumstances, this task is a death mission for ordinary third-level wizard apprentices. It should be safe to investigate it only by the official wizard leader.
The missing wizard apprentice Erno Shay in the mission description is only a veteran second-level wizard apprentice. That is, he can exert the combat power of a third-level wizard apprentice relying on years of accumulated experience and two suitable witchcraft tools. His strength might not even be as good as Apollo who had fought against Lucian before.
But the key lies not in the missing second-level wizard apprentice, but in the understatement in the mission description that "witchcraft apprentices have been sent to investigate, but they have not been successful."
According to what Lucian himself learned, on Kosai Island, three second-level wizard apprentices have disappeared one after another, and a third-level wizard apprentice and a second-level wizard apprentice have died!
This incident even alarmed the official wizard.
Not long ago, Wizard Hurley personally went to Kosai Island to investigate, but after more than a month of patrolling, no suspicious clues were found, so he had to return.
But Kosai Island is a precious island that produces the resource [Moonlight Moss], and the college is not willing to let it go.
Therefore, when no official wizard was willing to sacrifice himself and take the initiative to station on Kosai Island, the academy's final decision was to have three third-level wizard apprentices form a task team to go to Kosai Island to investigate.
If the investigation cannot find a reason, they will need to be stationed on Kosai Island for three years to ensure that this disappearance will not have any subsequent impact on Kosai Island.
But everyone understands that the danger on Kosai Island has not been eliminated, but has been hidden or transferred. If it's the latter, it's fine. At most, it can only be considered as being exiled on the remote Kosai Island for three years. But if it's the former, it's troublesome.
After all, the risk of a well-prepared third-level wizard apprentice dying in battle without even being able to get back the news was at least the peak combat power of a third-level wizard apprentice, and there was even a small chance of reaching the official wizard level.
Lucian and the other three sorcerer apprentices were undoubtedly high-level cannon fodder sent out to "throw thunder".
"Are you leaving in a month? There is still some time." Lucian breathed out softly, looking at Carly, whose eyes were becoming watery at this time, feeling that he, the student, just had to give him flowers now.
Lucian gave a stiff smile, and then hit Carly on the head.
This time he used a little force and knocked out Carly's tears.
"Well..." Carly covered her head.
"It's just a mission. There's no need to be so pessimistic." Lucian rubbed Carly's little head. "Besides, maybe it's a good thing for me to go out on missions, better than being in the academy."
Carly looked at Lucian and felt that this was Lucian's mentor comforting her.
But she thought wrong. Lucian's words were not entirely comforting, but what he really thought in his heart.
Because he is not an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice, but a visitor from another world who has traveled through time.
When he first traveled to the wizarding world, Lucian's identity was just a third-level wizard apprentice who was seriously injured and on the verge of death, so he used his system abilities. In the eyes of other wizards, he was just a third-level wizard apprentice who was lucky enough to recover from his injuries. He won't pay much attention to him.
But if the strength of Lucian, an originally mediocre third-level wizard apprentice, rises like a rocket in the next period of time, then it is unlikely that he will arouse the interest of some formal wizards.
If the secrets of the system are exposed, Lucian feels that he is lucky to be able to lie intact on the autopsy table of a formal wizard. It is more likely that he will be shared by a group of formal wizards with dazzling eyes. studied and then stored long-term in the form of sectioned specimens.
Therefore, if Lucian cannot find a way to avoid the attention of the official wizard, he needs to lie dormant, behave like a normal third-level wizard apprentice, and find a new official wizard as a background. While accepting his protection, It is also necessary to accept various unequal treaties.
If Lucian chooses to hibernate, he will not attract the attention of an official wizard, but his cultivation speed will undoubtedly be affected and he will have to slow down. But what should we do about the threat from Norian?
Lucian doesn't think that the official wizard he is looking for will really fight another official wizard head-on for him.
What's more, Lucian is not very willing to sign a contract with an official wizard.
After all, once a contract is signed, it is equivalent to signing a contract of betrayal for at least five years. The constraints and oppression are too great!
