Chapter 158 Academy route? NO! (twenty three)

"Go to study at Imperial Academy of Alchemy?"

Hearing this, Ian seriously looked at Master Gesai in front of him, and then suddenly laughed: "Master, if I really agree, you will feel a headache, right?"

"After all, it must take a lot of effort to let someone like me enter the academy."

If Ian is not moved, it must be false.

As the most powerful empire in Terra Continent, one of the highest institutions after the Seeker Academy, the capital of knowledge, the Royal Academy of Alchemy of the Setar Empire is undoubtedly the dream institution for every person who wants to study alchemy in depth.

But Ian is not a fool either—in the society of this era, in the imperial capital of a country with nobles and high-class people, how could a student from the countryside really go to the Imperial Capital College to study, how could he end up well.

If he really went, I'm afraid he would have to stage a traditional plot of the different world academy: first he was looked down upon by most noble students, despised and suppressed, and then converted this disdain into jealousy by virtue of his test results, and then he had to face other students. The killer hired by the students, and the teacher also looked down on his identity, and was finally slapped in the face by him with his academic achievements.

The final result is either to kill a lot of people and defect from the empire, exile in other countries and regions, accumulate one's own strength after tossing and turning, and return to the imperial capital to take revenge after becoming a strong man; Climbing within the system, while fighting with the nobles while developing your own school power...

Anyway, it's kind of numb.

Of course, the real reason is actually very simple.

——People have no money, what are they going to do in the imperial capital?Are you sick and looking for torture?

It is such a simple and simple reason.As for the vision horizon, Ian doesn't think that he can survive the death after making a lot of money by picking up leaks in the imperial capital.

Even if he could, why would he take such a big risk?

He is only 14 years old, and he has plenty of time to grow up. Now he goes to the imperial capital to pretend to be a grandson, but he can't learn much. He wasted time for no reason, and even hated Viscount Grant, who has always supported him.

So now, Ian not only has to refuse, but also has to speak out the reasons and logic behind it openly, and by the way, tout a wave of his real supporters.

Yes.It is true that Viscount Grant is very smart, but perhaps because he has lived in a rural place like Harrison Port all year round, he has never had much resistance to those sincere flattery.

"Master, don't worry about me wasting my talents. Viscount Grant has treated me very well, just because alchemy equipment and professional books are difficult to buy or are too expensive."

Ian politely saluted the thoughtful hunched old man in front of him, and said calmly: "If you really think I have potential, why not give me a channel where I can buy the latest alchemy classics and papers... ...or a channel to buy some commonly used alchemy potion formulas, I am confident to learn."

"For Harrison Port right now, my hometown, that's what matters the most."

"Ah."

After pondering for a while, Master Gosse Abid smiled slightly: "Indeed, just now I just didn't want to see a talented young alchemist sinking into the frontier of Port Harrison..."

Having said that, he turned his head, looked at Viscount Grant, and bowed his head in a prudent apology: "I'm sorry, Ayers, but I was wrong about this."

"This young alchemist, at this age, has achieved far better achievements than you did back then, which is enough to prove that you absolutely support him and that you really want to cultivate your own master alchemist for your territory. "

"Haha, where?"

Hearing his former teacher's sincere apology and praise, even the Viscount Grant couldn't really have any grudges--doesn't it mean that he has a good vision if he is willing to poach people?

Although these words are all about their waste in alchemy...

But trash is trash!

I'm useless!
So the Viscount laughed: "I have no talent, but Ian's talent is indeed extraordinary. Over the years, I have been worried that I might delay his future."

"I am really relieved to hear Mr. Goser's evaluation this time, which is enough to prove that Ian's excellence is beyond my expectations."

He looked at Ian and said with emotion, "I really did my best."

Ian and the Viscount looked at each other and smiled, then skipped the topic.

As for Patrick's expression, it was really unlucky.

However, he looked at Ian with a more cautious and considerate expression.

Master Gesai's re-appraisal confirmed that Ian's appraisal result was true, and he greatly appreciated the young man's sensitivity. This is undoubtedly a huge word-of-mouth improvement.

After all, as a master of the Royal Association of the Imperial Capital, although Elder Gosai is not the top alchemist in the world, he is also a first-class scholar. Awarded Distinguished Scholars.

If it weren't for his talent on the road to ascension, which is far inferior to his own talent in alchemy, he might have reached the peak of the second energy level, condensed his soul into the realm of radiance, and then planned the potion of the third energy level , Become a pivotal figure in the entire empire.

"Lavent."

On the other side, Viscount Grant made a gesture to the smiling Mr. Yinfang. After a little thought, the businessman immediately showed surprise and even gratitude.

Then, he stood up neatly, picked up the life-extending magic plant that Ian had placed on the appraisal table, and walked forward together with Viscount Grant, towards Master Gosser.

"So decisive."

Ian looked at this scene with clear eyes: "This move is amazing."

Even if he is blind, he can still see that this is Viscount Grant directly using Mr. Yinfang's magic plant to curry favor with Master Gosser—and Mr. Yinfang has to thank him!

Because, Viscount Grant can buy the longevity magic plant in his own name after the appraisal is over, and then give gifts to his former mentor in his own name. All of this has nothing to do with Mr. Yinfang.

And if it was Mr. Yinfang himself, he would not have any reason to give a gift to Master Gosai, nor would the other party have any need to accept it.

But Viscount Grant is willing to take him, this is love, even if the other party doesn't pay a penny, even if he can get even a little relationship with a big man like Master Gosser, a life-extending magic plant is worth it.

What's more, would Viscount Grant really do nothing?Even if Master Goser is unwilling to accept, the next construction of the new urban area, as well as the supply of construction materials for several outer harbor wharves...does he still need to think about how to make this request with Viscount Grant again?
Mr. Yinfang made a lot of money, that's why he showed such surprised and grateful eyes.

Viscount Grant borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, no one will lose him.

Not to mention the Elder Gesai who got the brand new life-extending magic plant, it's a win!

All are winning!
"Ayers, I know what you want to do... You want me to publicize that Nanling also has a life-extending magic plant after I return to the imperial capital, so that you can have more leverage in the imperial capital's channels, and I will remember you by the way, let me help you You provide a little association channel."

At this moment, looking down at Yanshou Mozhi, Master Gesai sighed. He was not very happy, but instead stroked his beard with a stick earnestly and said: "Shameless little guy, you don't need to be smart on the right path."

"It was useless in the past, but it is suffering today. With your ingenuity, if you studied alchemy seriously, how could you need to please me like you are now? You need to plead with Pat to let him open a workshop in your territory? "

What Master Gesai said was very merciless and truthful.

Ian saw that the Viscount smiled instead.

Sure enough, the hunchbacked old man accepted the magic plant handed out by Mr. Yinfang, and he continued: "This kind of life-extending magic plant is not the same as the ones produced in the Holy Mountain and Tranquility Sea, but is similar to the magic plant on the Jiuhan Mountain. The pure source of life, this is probably related to the worship of the natural spirits related to plants by the indigenous people and the country on the other side of the oasis, this is a big topic."

Master Gesai stared at the magic plant in his hand with burning eyes, but it was not for prolonging life, it was a desire to do experiments: "I will help you whatever you want. Seeing that you have cultivated a An excellent alchemist, and this magic plant."

Raising his head, he looked at the delighted Viscount Grant with a straight face, and reprimanded him, "You are still my worst student, you smiley face."

"What kind of old man with a knife mouth and a tofu heart."

His face was expressionless, but Ian was complaining in his heart, and then sighed slightly: "Observing people... is also a kind of observation. Even if you don't rely on psionic power, you can see a person's general character and behavior habits just by observing with the naked eye." , reached a prediction that was close to a prophecy.”

Viscount Grant was probably good at this, so he wasn't nervous from the beginning, and even laughed at this moment, admitting his mistakes one after another to Master Goser's reprimands, completely indifferent.

But just when the boy was feeling emotional, he noticed that someone was approaching him from the left side.

Turning his head, what he saw was a face about his own age.

And a pair of curious, lake-green eyes.
