noble magician

By "his place" Corson did not mean his office, but his dormitory in the faculty quarters of the college.Because it was still on vacation, many teachers had gone home, the academy looked a little cold, and even the road under their feet seemed much wider.Lance followed Cosen to the teachers' area, and the two chatted about potions for a while along the way.

The houses in the teacher's area are all similar in appearance, and the inside of the house is decorated differently due to the teacher's personal preferences, but the overall layout is similar.

Lance walked into Corson's residence, and Corson asked him to sit in the living room for a while, while he walked towards the kitchen.After a while, he came out with a steaming pot of coffee on a tray.

Lance stood up in surprise, is there no servant in this room?He was already asking for others, so he had the nerve to ask Mr. Kesen to entertain him in person, and he suddenly felt very embarrassed.

Ke Sen smiled and motioned for him to sit down, and said, "Sit down, don't be so restrained, I don't have any servants here, anyone who comes here will be entertained like this."

Bearing the condemnation of his conscience, Lance watched the elder pour coffee for him.The dark liquid spilled from the spout, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and the room was filled with aroma.

Lance asked a little nervously: "Why don't you find a servant?" He thought that all teachers would have servants to take care of their daily life like Gagne.

Cosen seemed to understand his confusion, and said lightly: "I don't like other people in my place, so I don't need a servant." He pushed the poured coffee towards Lance.

Lance thanked him and blew on it.It was still hot, and he didn't drink it right away, and he didn't cool it down with a freezing spell, which seemed impolite.

Lance looked around, and then asked, "Your students don't live here?" It is customary for students to live in the instructor's residence, so each teacher has a small building that can accommodate multiple people.

Ke Sen shook his head and said, "No, speaking of it, if all my students live here, it would be too many."

Although the weather is not cold now, it is quite pleasant to drink hot coffee.The two sat in the living room and talked for a while, and Lance found that Mr. Corson was surprisingly easy to get along with.

Ganesh is usually easy to get along with... But he is like a piece of ice, everything is hidden in his heart, and he is a bit difficult to approach.In case he touches his reverse scale, he will not say anything, but directly strikes.Although Lance has never been taught a lesson by Gagne, but I have seen the scene where he admonished Lei Zhe, it was a crisp and neat one, and the word mercy probably does not exist in Gagne's dictionary...

Lance silently made up his own teacher in his mind, and was a little distracted while holding a coffee cup.Corson's gaze stayed on his face for a moment, then he quietly retracted it before Lance noticed.

"Let's go, let me show you my collection."

Corson brought Lance to his study room, where various books were neatly arranged on the bookshelves.Lance glanced over and found that they were all arranged according to different categories.The books all look new, and it can be seen that they are well preserved.Thinking that there was not even a single servant in the house, and that Corson cleaned it up by himself, Lance felt a little admiration for him.

"If you're interested, you can take a look around." Seeing that Lance had been staring at the books on the shelf, Cosen said without hesitation.

Lance got the permission, his eyes lit up immediately, he made no secret of his envy, and even looked at these collections of books greedily, taking out one or two from time to time and flipping through them, completely forgetting his original intention of coming here.

Corson took a book from a shelf, sat down at the desk, and looked at Lance with some amusement.He is like an insatiable bookworm, lingering and wandering in front of different bookshelves.

After a while, Lance looked away reluctantly.The private collections of the teachers of the college are very interesting. He has seen Gagne's collections, many of which are treasures that cannot be found in the library.

Oh, he's also seen Lei Zhe's collection of books... The corners of Lance's mouth twitched, they were all romance novels.Cough, but to be honest, he also likes to watch it...

Lance looked away from the bookshelf with some regret, and suddenly remembered his purpose when he came, and looked at Cosen who had been waiting for a long time, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"I'm really sorry, accidentally..."

Cosen said with a chuckle, "It's okay, come here." He waved to Lance.

Lance immediately came to the desk and looked at the page Corson was pointing to. The paper was densely packed with ink, all handwritten.

"These pages are the magic-eliminating potion formulas I collected, and the effect is better than those sold on the market and common formulas." He turned a few pages back and said, "These two formulas are My private research, you can copy them back and try to make it." After speaking, he pushed the book towards Lance and let him read it casually.

Lance flipped through the pages. Although he hadn't tried it yet, he could somewhat see the superiority of these formulas. As for the specific effect, he could only know after the finished product came out.Having obtained such a treasure, Lance didn't know what to say to express his gratitude. Such a formula is very valuable, right?But it was given to him so easily.

Lance hesitated, and Cosen saw his hesitation, and instead explained: "It's just the formula, and it won't be lost after I show you it. If you make the potion, you can show it to me, and I can Check it out for you to see if there is any problem."

Lance nodded gratefully, he didn't know what to do other than thank him.

Ke Sen smiled kindly, and handed him a pen: "Quick copy."

After copying the formula, Lance said he would go to the city to buy materials and bid farewell to Corson.

Corson asked suspiciously: "Why don't you buy it at the potion shop in the academy?"

Lan Academy is a place where magicians gather, and the potion shop opened is not simple, and the variety of categories may not be comparable to the shops in Scorching Wind City.

Lance said embarrassingly: "I often visit a shop in the city, and they gave me a discount, so..."

Ke Sen was stunned, and then said with a smile: "So that's the case, let's go."

There are dozens of recipes that Lance has received from Cosen. Among them, he has already collected some materials, and several recipes use frosty licorice. In addition, the required materials must be purchased at the potion shop.He made a list of the materials he needed to buy, roughly calculated the materials, and went to the potion shop he often went to in Scorching Wind City.

After everything was ready, Lance was eagerly preparing to start production, but because it was a bit late, he planned to start tomorrow.

After he left the potion shop, another figure walked into the shop, it was Clarence Coson from the Orchid Academy.

Corson came to the counter and casually mentioned a few materials.The hostess greeted him warmly and brought out what he wanted.

"A total of 57 gold coins."

Ke Sen frowned, and said displeasedly: "Aren't you cheating? Why is it cheaper to sell it to that person just now than to give it to me?"

The female shopkeeper was taken aback, and immediately understood who he was talking about, and explained in a good voice: "That person is a frequent customer of my shop, so I gave him a discount. If you often visit our shop in the future, you can also get a discount .”

Ke Sen snorted coldly, "This is just your excuse, give me the same price."

The female shopkeeper was also a little upset when she saw that the customer was making trouble out of no reason, but he was a customer after all, so she could only try to reason with him.

"If you also buy hundreds of plants of Frost Licorice from me, of course I can give you the same discount." As soon as she finished her words, the expression of the fault-finding customer turned dark, and she couldn't help but feel secretly proud.Hundreds of plants of Frost Licorice are not like what ordinary magicians would buy.

Corson paid the original price and left without saying anything.It's just that his brows were always furrowed. If you look carefully, you can find that there are various contradictory emotions in those eyes, such as excitement and fear.

The next day, Lance immediately came to the potion laboratory excitedly, sharpening his knife and preparing to start work.Because it was a holiday, no one would compete with him to use the laboratory, which provided him with a lot of convenience. Lance even prepared some dry bread and water, planning not to go out unless he made something!

The preparation has been sufficient, the drive and effort are commendable, and enough patience has been paid, but the reality is cruel.

When Lance completed a series of complicated operations and successfully produced five different magic-eliminating potions according to the formula, he found that these potions, which took a whole day to make, were still inferior to him in terms of efficacy. my own.

Lance is a little frustrated, is it still not working?Who gave Ender the magic expulsion potion formula in his hand?He had asked Ender this question a long time ago, and wrote to him when he was considering making potions with better effects, but Ender didn't say anything, and didn't reply him a single word.

Received several blows one after another, Lance was not in a good mood, but he quickly cheered up. Isn't there still some recipes that he hasn't tried?Do it tomorrow!He put away these demon-killing potions that were successful but still failed, and prepared to save them for future research.

If Lance could tell himself that there were still a few recipes he hadn't tried the day before, then when he tried all the recipes and finally found that none of the potions he made could be used, Lance was completely dumbfounded .

It's just that he has a vague feeling that there is still room for improvement in these formulas, and that after the proficiency is improved, better potions can be made.But even if all of this is achieved, I am afraid that with these few formulas, there will be no potion with better effect than his original one.

Lance was truly aware of the difficulty of finding new potions, and at the same time he became uneasy. If the existing potions no longer worked, how would he face the magic riot?It seems that this will be a protracted battle. I thought it was too simple before.

Lance silently put away the unused materials, as well as the finished products that he regarded as no different from waste products.Thinking of what Teacher Ke Sen said, Lance decided to go to him again tomorrow.
