noble magician

After Lance and Ganesi and the others separated, the two-month vacation officially began, but Lance didn't have time to take a leisurely vacation. The gold coins that Ender gave him last year had already been spent.

Originally, in addition to paying tuition fees, this money was enough for Lance's living needs for a year.Ender was very thoughtful, even including the purchase of Frost Licorice, even if Lance lived a little extravagantly, it would not be so fast to use it up.However, what they didn't expect was that Lance needed more and more Frost Licorice.

In this short period of one year, Lance has evolved from taking a powerful demon-killing potion almost a month to now needing one a week.According to this consumption, the potion from the previous year was only enough for Lance to consume for three months, which was a terrible expense.This is still an optimistic estimate. In fact, it is still unknown whether he can continue to maintain a magic-killing potion a week. Lance only feels that the magic power in his body is getting more and more violent.

Thinking of this, Lance sighed silently in his heart.At the beginning of the new school year, Ender might give him another sum of money, but he has been used to solving his own problems since he was a child, and he would never ask Ender to give him more money.What's more, although Ander never mentioned his own affairs, his money might not come easily.And there are so many things to do after school starts, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time to earn gold coins.

Unexpectedly, after going around in a circle, Lance returned to the original point, and it was time to start earning gold coins to buy frosty licorice.Fortunately, his magic has improved a lot, and he can take on tasks with more lucrative rewards.

But another thing must also be put on the agenda, that is the research of new medicines.He had to find a more effective potion, whether he made it himself or bought it, it was an urgent matter.In case the physical condition continues to deteriorate and the existing powerful anti-demon potion loses its effect...

However, I'm afraid I can only think of my own way. Lance has long discovered that the anti-magic potion sold in the potion shop is far less effective than the one he owns.But with his attainments in potions, where is it easy to research new formulas?It's just that no matter what the result is, he has to make some attempts.

After thinking about this, Lance's schedule for the next two months has been set: perform tasks to make money, the more the better; go to the academy library to search for information on demon-killing potions, and make sure to find a more effective formula.

The next day, Lance packed up his luggage and was ready to go. Most of the things had already been packed before, and he only needed to bring his newly made demon-eliminating potion.Lance locked the door of the cabin and left the town again.This time, for a whole month and a half, he never came back again.

Ten days before school started, Lance returned to the cabin with his luggage on his back.The gold coins he earned from the mission had been transferred to his account in the treasury, and the space bag that Lei Zhe gave him was used by him to hold the materials.Along the way, while carrying out missions to hunt and kill monsters, he collected materials that might be useful, and he had already filled up the space bag.

After not coming back for a while, dust fell in the house again.Lance spent some time tidying up, planning to sleep here for the night.In fact, he can go back to the academy directly, but after this mission, he really feels a little lonely...

Looking around at the empty hut, even the place where he lived for many years seemed a bit deserted at this moment.Unlike before, this time his father, Ander, was not waiting for him at home.Even if, like so many times in the past, Ender just slept on his own and didn't realize that Lance had returned at all, it would be many times better than the current situation.

Leaning his back against the simple bed in the wooden house, Lance took out a stack of letter papers from his backpack, with a slight smile on his lips.

It was a letter sent to him by someone else, from Ender, from Lei Zhe, and from Katie.These are all Lance's comforts during this period of time. He kept every letter carefully and took it out to have a look from time to time.

Among them, Lei Zhe wrote the most letters, so many that he was a little speechless, most of them were nonsense, and he often wrote one or two sentences on a piece of letter paper, which was very wasteful.

While Lance was heartbroken, he also felt a little relieved.You know, for a person like him who is short of money, waste is really an unforgivable thing, even if he has a lot of letter paper in his hand, he can't do such a thing.Therefore, Lance will always save up for a few days first, then write a long reply letter, and reply once.Although Lei Zhe expressed some dissatisfaction between the lines, he didn't complain much.

Lance kept the letters sorted by sender, and the thinnest stack was from Ender.Whenever this unseemly father misses his son more than the temptation of wine that half a gold coin can buy, he will write a letter to Lance, asking about his recent situation, but rarely mentioning himself thing.

It was written by Kai Di, who was neither thick nor thin, and the two talked about something that Lance encountered while doing the task.Lance knew from his letter that Kaidi did not take on tasks to make money like in previous years. He didn't seem to be short of money, and sometimes asked Lance worriedly if he needed funding.It's just that Kaidi didn't go into details about his own affairs, and he seemed to be taboo about mentioning these things.

After reading these letters roughly, Lance put them away again, and wrapped himself in a thin quilt on the bed, and went to sleep.

On the second day, Lance got up early and left the wooden house, returning to Lansi College early.He planned to use the last few days of his vacation to concentrate on researching potions.

Lance also spent some time on potions before, but mainly on some theoretical knowledge. This time his purpose is very clear, which is to find available formulas.The best place to go is the academy. The library has a large collection of books related to magic. Potions, as a branch of magic, is no exception.

For the next three days, Lance would either spend time in the pile of books in the library, or go in and out of the potion laboratory. Even during the holidays, these places were still open to students for the use of those staying in school.But it is a pity that Lance's harvest is very small.

He found a lot of formulas for eliminating magic potions. Except for those formulas that could be seen to be ineffective at a glance, he went to the potion laboratory to make the rest by himself.Unfortunately, none of these medicines were as effective as what he had in hand, and they were far worse.

This can't be because of Lance's talent in potions. Although talent will greatly affect the effect of potions, a potionist can understand whether a formula is plastic or not when making it.And the effect of proficiency on the medicine will not be so great, it can only be a problem of the formula.

The difficulties he encountered did not make Lance give up. The patience he had cultivated when squatting on his prey in the past also played a role at this time. He continued to search tirelessly in the vast sea of ​​books.As Lance struggled to find the right formula, he came across someone.

"I've seen you a lot these days, either in the library or in the potions laboratory. Did you encounter any problems?" Clarence Coson sat down opposite Lance, and put the book in his hand to Putting it lightly on the table, he said with a smile, not at all unhappy because of his refusal, as Lance feared.

Focusing away from the book, Lance was stunned for a moment, saying that he had seen him several times, but except for one encounter in the potion laboratory, he didn't notice the other times at all.

When Lance was in a trance, Corson waited patiently without urging him.

Lance finally came back to his senses, smiled a little embarrassedly, thought of what Lei Zhe had said, and asked tentatively: "I want to find some formulas for eliminating magic potions, can the teacher recommend some books for me? "

Corson glanced at the books in front of Lance, and fiddled with them for a while, then asked, "These books you're looking for are all there, isn't it enough?"

Lance showed a helpless expression: "Yes, there are, but in my opinion, the formulas recorded in these books have ordinary effects. What I want is a powerful demon-eliminating potion."

Ke Sen pondered for a while and said: "The anti-magic potion is a poison used to deal with magicians. The ordinary effect you mentioned is enough to make a veteran-level magician unable to use magic for three days." After finishing speaking, Ke Sen looked Xiang Lance, waiting for his explanation.

Lance groaned in his heart.

Indeed, the anti-magic potion is specially used to deal with magicians, and it is rarely used in the process of performing tasks or learning magic.It is certainly possible to use it to deal with monsters, but the price is very expensive, so it is not cost-effective to do so, and generally no magician will do it.So, why does Lance need a powerful anti-demon potion?

Lance quickly thought about what to say, but in the end he could only bite the bullet and lie. He pretended to be nonchalant and said: "I am very interested in potions, so I picked a potion to study, and I want to make it A potion with a better effect is coming."

I don't know if Corson believed Lance's statement, but at least on the surface he believed it.

"I do have some formulas. These formulas contain my personal research results, and some of them are collected from other places. If you are interested, why don't you come to my place, and I can tell you about it." Sen winked at Lance, "Researching on potions is also my interest."

"Is it really possible?" Lance asked in disbelief.Good medicine formulas are kept secret, and they are not easily handed over to others. Now that Ke Sen is willing to show him, that is really very generous.

Corson nodded and asked, "When are you free?"

Lance closed the book in his hand, and immediately said: "I'm free now!" Then he realized that he was too eager, and added embarrassingly, "Choose when it's convenient for you, I can do it anytime. "

Ke Sen showed the kind expression of the elders towards the juniors, and said softly: "Then let's go now." He pointed to the books on the table, "Do you still want to borrow these?"

Lance thought about it, then shook his head, packed the book and put it back on the shelf.
