Yadai stayed anxiously.

Reynolds and Sara left the castle with worried expressions, turning their heads three times at a time.

After not many people.

Xia Zuoyi no longer pretended to be serious with a sullen little face, and leaned back on the chair relaxedly, shaking jiojio leisurely, and then took the paper from Judit.

He said: "Adai Ben, the information you asked the recorder to fill in before is that you can identify herbs. You used to be an alchemist's apprentice, and you have studied and studied some pharmacology... Do you know how to make medicine?"

Yadai nodded: "I know a little bit, Lord Earl."

Hearing this, Xia Zuoyi ordered the servants to bring a basket of plants that had already been prepared, and placed utensils on the table that could be used to make potions or ointments.

He said to Yadai who looked a little confused: "There are some herbs and ordinary plants in the basket."

"You need to pick out the herbs and make the herbs you know into a potion or ointment. The quantity is not limited. This is a test for you. Let's start now."

Yadai stepped forward nervously: "Yes, Lord Earl."

Yadai seemed to understand the intention of the little earl.

——The reason why he did this should be related to the master alchemist...

If he could be appreciated by the alchemist, Reynolds and Sara might live a little easier.

After thinking about it, Yadai took a deep breath and began to concentrate on screening.

After a long while, he placed the selected herb on the table, but he hesitated a little before making it...

There are indeed herbs that Yadai knows, but more are selected by him based on his feeling... If more potions can be made, it may be easier to get the approval and affirmation of the alchemist.

However, he remembered that his former teacher once said that there is no problem with some herbal medicines used alone, but if they are boiled together and given to patients, it will have bad consequences.

Such as vomiting, abdominal pain, etc.

If you don't understand the medicinal properties of herbs, don't try them lightly.

Yadai put the unfamiliar herbs aside, and then concentrated on making more familiar potions.

Xia Zuoyi supported his face with his hands and watched the process of him selecting herbs and making them, and he also commented on this in his heart.

The plants that Yadai selected from the basket were indeed herbs, but they were not complete.

There were still some herbs in the basket that he didn't see.

In addition, Yadai used a single selection of herbs to make the potion, and his movements were a little rusty, but the flaws were not hidden, and he had a good grasp of the usage and dosage of the herbs.

Overall, Yadai's performance has been much better than Xia Zuoyi's previous expectations.

"My lord, the preparation of the potion has been completed." Yadai said.

Judit took the potion and handed it to Xia Zuoyi.

Xia Zuoyi: "This potion can cure insomnia, it can calm the nerves and make people fall asleep faster, right?"

Yadai showed a surprised expression when he heard this.

He asked involuntarily: "How did the Earl know?"

Xia Zuoyi: "Of course it's because I can also make it. There's nothing to be surprised about. Close your mouth."

Ya Dai shut up his mouth.

Xia Zuoyi stroked Bai Nen's chin and said, "You can go, remember to tell your friends when you go back, you will stay in the castle as the alchemist's assistant from tomorrow on."

"The level of an assistant is not as good as an apprentice."

"I'll see how you perform, and consider whether to convert you into an apprentice after a month of probationary period."

Yadai was surprised and said, "Thank you! Your Excellency Earl."

He didn't see where the alchemist was, so he thought that tomorrow would be the official meeting.

Afterwards, Yadai left the castle under the leadership of his servants.

…………

Reynolds and Sara were relieved to see him back safely.

Yadai told them that he was going to stay in the castle as an alchemist's assistant.

"Wissas is not too far from Fort Comoi. The Earl said that he will give me one day of rest within seven days. Don't worry, I will come back often."

"Also...Although Corey Moya and his group have been dispatched by the Earl to the place where the stone is mined, there is no guarantee that there will be no more people with bad intentions here..."

"Reynolds, Sara, if you are in danger, immediately go to the soldiers patrolling the city. I don't think they will ignore it... Your lord Earl is not like a bad person."

Sarah nodded obediently.

Reynolds: "You take care of yourself, too."

Yadai: "Yes."

the next day.

Yadai followed the soldiers to the castle.

Judit took him to the stairs leading to the attic: "Go up, the Earl is waiting for you in the alchemy laboratory."

Yadai hesitated and said: "Butler Judith, please wait a moment, may I ask... is the Earl a student of the master alchemist?"

Judith smiled: "You will know when you go up."

After speaking, he turned to leave.

Yadai stood on the spot scratching his head, and said in a low voice, "It should be... After all, the Earl was able to see the effect of the potion I made yesterday at a glance."

Yadai boarded the stairs leading to the attic.

The slightly old wooden floor made a slight "creak" sound under his feet. After walking up the last step, the aisle in front of him should be the room where the Earl is.

There are no windows in this passage.

The walls on both sides are inlaid with metal candle lamp holders, in a three-pronged shape, and the faint fire is slowly burning in them, illuminating a small area.

At the corner ahead, there seemed to be something dark lurking there motionless.

But Yadai didn't notice it.

When he was about to reach the corner, the black thing suddenly jumped up and rushed towards him fiercely...

"Ow!"

"what--"

Yadai's eyes widened in horror, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak, his mind went blank, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

How, how could there be a tiger in the castle? !

After the briquette jumped out, it turned around in mid-air, and its four thick claws landed lightly and silently on the ground, and the tip of its tail curled up happily.

"Ow."

Briquette took two steps back and lowered his body to Yadai again, looking ready to go.

This is a signal to attack people.

Yadai retreated involuntarily...

"Balls."

at this time.

He heard the earl's voice, and then saw the black tiger in front of him stretching its ears, lying obediently and obediently on the ground.

Yadai couldn't help but looked up.

The little Earl was walking towards him slowly, and beside him was a tiger that was nearly half the height of a man.

This is a white tiger with beautiful fur and pattern, smooth body and graceful pacing.

Yadai couldn't help turning his head in a daze. Except for the color, the two tigers looked alike.

Xia Zuoyi felt a headache and helplessness.

Ordinary tigers usually reach adulthood at the age of two to three years, and then the adulthood period will be relatively long, followed by the tiger's strongest period, when the weight and muscle will increase tremendously.

The last is old age.

The briquettes and snow balls given to him by 098 are not ordinary tigers. They have a long lifespan and will become huge when they become adults.

But adulthood is no different from that of ordinary tigers, which are also two to three years old.

Now the briquettes and the snow balls have entered the stage of rapid growth, almost changing their appearance every day, and the height of their limbs standing upright has already surpassed Xia Zuoyi's waist.

And the characters of the two tigers are obvious.

The briquettes are becoming more and more lively and mischievous. They like to run around and jump out suddenly to scare people.

Xue Tuan, on the other hand, appeared more stable and quiet, and would often accompany Xia Zuoyi on weekdays, lazily and rarely moving.

Xia Zuoyi walked over and grabbed the ear on the side of the coal ball, and scolded: "I told you not to hide here secretly to scare people, why didn't you listen?"

"There's no more meat for lunch today, you'll improve your memory if you're hungry."

"Aw, aww."

The briquette softly slid into Xia Zuoyi's arms and acted like a baby, but in the next second it was slapped by Xue Tuan's claws, biting the briquette's ear to keep it from getting closer.

The two Xia Zuoyi, who were fighting each other and almost rubbing against each other, could not stand still.

In the end, he drove them all away to find Judith.

"Come with me." Xia Zuoyi said to Yadai.

Yadai covered his beating heart that was shocked again and again, nodded and followed behind.

Xia Zuoyi led him to open the door and enter the alchemy laboratory: "Today is your first day as an assistant, if there are any utensils you don't know or are not familiar with, please come and ask me, I will give you time to remember the position of each utensil , it’s best not to make mistakes and mess things up in the future.”

"Yes, Lord Count."

Yadai couldn't help looking around the various facilities in the house with a look of amazement, and after a while he hesitated and asked, "My lord, is the master alchemist here?"

Xia Zuoyi turned around wondering, "What master alchemist?"

Yadai: "That's the one who made the ointment..."

He talked about what happened in the forest before.

Suddenly, Xia Zuoyi said, "I made the ointment, and the alchemist you mentioned is me."

Yadai opened his mouth uncontrollably, and said dully, "What..."

The expression on his face kept changing, no doubt because of the unexpected fact that he suffered a great shock in his heart.

Xia Zuoyi thought for a while and said, "My father was an alchemist, and he left behind a "Alchemy Handbook" before he died."

Not much to say, it all depends on brain supplementation.

Yadai finally murmured: "So it's like this..."

Before he came to the castle, he had made enough mental preparations, thinking that he might meet an alchemist with a weird temper and a eccentric personality...but he didn't expect...that person would be the young earl.

Yadai then quickly organized his thoughts and began to familiarize himself with the various facilities in the alchemy laboratory.

three days later.

Xia Zuoyi asked him to familiarize himself with the detailed process of making papyrus, and he needed to study new experiments when he came back.

He said: "The raw material for producing papyrus is the sedge stalk...the sedge can be processed to obtain paper that can be written on."

"But the paper is fragile and breaks easily when flipped."

"Do you think other plants can get a new kind of paper if they are processed through some methods?"

Yadai hesitated: "I think...it's probably possible, but Lord Earl, it will be very difficult..."

Xia Zuoyi: "There is nothing difficult in this world, as long as you are willing to give up, try it."

With me here, what are you afraid of.
