This wizard only wants to take students

"Success!"

After seeing the system pop-up message, a glimmer of light flashed in Lucian's eyes.

He gently closed his eyes and quickly digested the new knowledge that flooded into his mind.

And when Carly saw Lucian nod slightly and "ponder" at this time, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. At the same time, she also thought of her "encounter" when she was studying witchcraft before.

Could it be... In fact, the level of my design has not yet reached the expectations of mentor Lucian?

Carly looked at Lucian nervously, and her palms were slightly sweaty.

And at this moment, Lucian also opened his eyes, he looked at Carly, and picked up the manuscript designed by Carly and looked at it again and again.

Afterwards, Lucian put down the manuscript, looked at Carly, and a smile appeared on his face, "The design is good, but there is still a lot of room for improvement."

Carly looked at Lucian's calm appearance, and her eyes widened slightly.

But more of it was confusion.

Kali naturally knew that the hunting bow she designed under the guidance of Mentor Lucian had a lot of room for improvement in terms of enchantment level, but this was also what they had agreed on before. They needed to consider the difficulty of repairing it later, so when designing and engraving alchemical runes, they could only design the most basic alchemical runes.

Without considering enchanting other complex runes, Kali felt that the hunting bow she designed was already at its limit.

Even if Mentor Lucian wanted to modify it, he could only modify details such as the enchantment position, right?

"I think we can make some more adjustments to the enchanted runes..." Lucian referred to the upgraded alchemical drawings provided by the system and gave Kali suggestions.

Hearing this, Kali was relieved. Because what Lucian said at this time was not only similar to what she had just thought of, but also exactly the same.

"Mentor Lucian is really too bad, and he comes to scare me again..." Kali thought in her heart, and when she saw Lucian's serious look, she even wanted to laugh.

"Teacher Lucian, how should we adjust it?" Carly looked at Lucian, "Should we add a few high-level alchemical runes..."

"Of course not." Lucian looked at Carly's questioning and rebellious look, and stretched out his hand unhappily, wanting to knock Carly's head to wake her up.

However, Lucian quickly suppressed his impulse, and sat up slightly, revealing an unfathomable expression.

"Who said that to improve the performance of this hunting bow, we must use higher-level alchemical runes?" Lucian looked at Carly and asked back.

Carly was stunned, looking at Lucian's eyes at this time, she felt inexplicably flustered.

Could my guess be wrong?

Lucian ignored Carly's hazy expression, but picked up the feather pen and began to draw a hunting bow drawing next to Carly's draft design, which was 70% similar, but very different in many details.

"Come, take a look for yourself, and then compare them." Lucian's drawing process took only ten minutes, and then he put down the feather pen and threw the improved drawing directly to Carly.

Carly took the drawing in a daze, but soon she had a feeling of dissatisfaction in her heart, wanting to see how big the gap between herself and Teacher Lucian was.

If it was a simple competition of understanding of alchemy, Carly felt that she would definitely not be able to beat Teacher Lucian. But now the bows and arrows designed by her and Teacher Lucian are the most basic styles. Could it be that Teacher Lucian can still play with flowers?

This is like mathematics. Maybe a primary school student will lose in a competition with a college teacher to solve equations, and he will not be able to solve calculus. But if the two sides are competing in single-digit addition and subtraction, then who will win or lose is not certain!

Thinking so, Carly opened the sketch drawn by Lucian.

"It seems to be similar to my design..." Carly just had such a thought in her mind, but as she continued to look at it, she was stunned all of a sudden.

Because in terms of the basic alchemical runes for enchantment, the version I designed only left three positions for enchantment runes, but after a slight adjustment, Lucian left a full five positions for enchantment runes in the same enchantable space!

You should know that the enchantment space of these alchemical equipment is limited, and not every position on the alchemical equipment can be used for enchanting alchemical runes.

These alchemical runes also need to be engraved on some "key nodes" of alchemical equipment to be successfully activated during use.

For example, the hunting bow, the position of the bow body that can be engraved with alchemical runes is the handshake.

And it is not an easy task to design more key nodes in a limited space.

"Lucian... Lucian, you engraved so many runes in such a small area like this, won't they affect each other?" Carly raised her head.

Although she was not sure whether the enchantment structure designed by Mentor Lucian was feasible, the ingenious internal magic channels designed by Mentor Lucian for these enchantment nodes alone made Kali marvel.

"Stupid, take a good look at what runes I plan to engrave." Lucian looked at Kali's eyes, which were almost instantly clear, and smiled with satisfaction.

After being reminded by Lucian, Carly quickly checked the basic runes that Lucian planned to carve.

"Three accelerations...and tenacity and energy storage?" Carly looked up at Lucian, seeming to have thought of something, but she couldn't say it.

"Stupid. There is no conflict between acceleration, tenacity and energy storage. Then think about why you want to add an energy storage rune in the middle." Lucian looked at Carly's stupid look at this time, and finally gave up. He held back and hit Carly on the head.

Carly covered her head, but she figured out some of the mysteries. She quickly flipped through the book and found a similar design structure to Lucian's in an alchemy witch formation.

"It turns out that the interaction of several alchemical runes is used to achieve a rapid-fire effect of accelerating the drawing of the bow?" Carly looked at the detailed explanation of the alchemy witch formation in the book, and then looked at the second-generation hunting bow designed by Lucian , with shock in his eyes. "Although there is no systematic alchemy witchcraft formation engraved on the bow, a similar effect is achieved through discrete runes..."

As Carly spoke, she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Just now, I seemed to be questioning Teacher Lucian. But now it seems that Teacher Lucian has really made some tricks out of the most basic alchemy runes.

[Your student Carly respects you, her reverence value +30]

"Huh?" Lucian, who was looking at Carly with a smile, seemed to feel something and couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Then, he opened his eyes and suddenly found that he seemed to have found a systematic "secret door".

He had just received an upgraded version of the alchemy blueprints, but as the blueprints were implanted into his mind, there were also some alchemical contents involved in the design blueprints.

He has mastered most of these contents, but there is also some knowledge that he has not learned yet. And regardless of whether he has learned the knowledge before, after systematic indoctrination, his understanding of these module knowledge has reached a high level.

If Lucian's mastery of the knowledge he learned on his own by reading the alchemy manuscripts at the beginning was probably between 45% and 70%, then after systematically instilling this knowledge, his mastery has reached at least 90%.

The reason why it does not reach 100% is because the knowledge instilled in the system is not particularly systematic and is somewhat scattered. Some of the relevant content that is not instilled affects the overall understanding.

But even so, Lucian felt that the knowledge he learned incidentally through this systematic infusion helped him save at least two or three months of self-study and exploration time!

"Well... maybe in the system's judgment, alchemy and a specific alchemy drawing do not belong to the same type of knowledge, but there is a very close connection between the two. And according to the system's judgment, when I After teaching Carly to master a piece of knowledge, she will automatically master the upgraded knowledge.”

"So I taught Carly to design the alchemy blueprints, but I had no intention of helping me speed up my mastery of alchemy-related knowledge. And if I continue teaching according to this method, the time it takes me to master alchemy will undoubtedly be greatly shortened. And more importantly, Yes, it is much easier and faster to teach Carly the blueprints of a certain witchcraft than for me to learn alchemy myself." Lucian's eyes shone slightly.

This capability couldn’t come at a worse time.

You know, what Lucian lacks now is witchcraft tools. Not to mention the witchcraft tools he had in hand, he didn't even have a decent combat witchcraft tool now.

Even the Thunderbolt Broken Spear previously captured from Apollo had been lost in the battle with Norian.

You must know that foreign objects such as witchcraft tools account for a large proportion of the combat effectiveness of third-level wizard apprentices.

For example, during the previous battle between Lucian and Norian, without the lightning-breaking spear, it would have been very difficult for Lucian's own witchcraft attacks to break through the abomination's defense.

However, powerful witchcraft tools suitable for third-level wizard apprentices are a hot commodity in the market. Like high-end potions such as "Moonlight Praise", they are both hard currency that maintains their value. Unless there is an extreme shortage of magic stones, basically no one would be willing to take out such witchcraft tools and sell them.

Most of the witchcraft tools sold in the alchemy house are relatively low-end witchcraft tools. They may be of some use to first- and second-level wizard apprentices, but they are not of much use to third-level wizard apprentices. After all, The moves they can resist or release are too powerful for third-level wizard apprentices, and are not as practical as the witchcraft they can perform casually.

This has resulted in Lucian currently being in a rather awkward "blank slate" period.

Lucian originally wanted to see if he could prepare a few more [Moonlight Praises] in the past two days and barter them to see if he could get himself a handy witchcraft tool.

But now Lucian has a new idea.

That is to quickly improve your alchemy level as quickly as possible through the "secret door" you just discovered. This way you can not only take out the remaining items in Norian's damaged storage pendant, but also customize a suitable set of witchcraft for yourself. Tool.

This not only saves magic stones, but also allows you to obtain a set of witchcraft tools that are most suitable for you, and only exposes them at critical moments, which can also have an unexpected effect.

He achieves multiple things with one stone. The only drawback is that Carly seems to be a bit useless.

Lucian turned his head and glanced at Carly, who was studying the alchemy blueprint carefully. He withdrew his gaze with a guilty conscience.

But it shouldn't be too much for young people to work hard on learning, right?

Thinking of this, Lucian calmed down a little, and a different emotion appeared in his smile. At the same time, he tried to restrain himself from showing an expression similar to rubbing his hands like a fly in front of Carly.

"Teacher Lucian?" Carly seemed to be aware of Lucian's expression. At this time, she raised her head and looked at Lucian with some confusion.

"It's okay. Take a look at this blueprint. If there are any parts that you don't understand, I can explain it to you again, but you have to hurry up. After all, our work is not yet completed." Lucian reminded.

Listening to Lucian's familiar words, Carly had a bold guess in her heart.

Could it be that... the current version is just the limit that Teacher Lucian thinks he can accept, rather than the limit of Teacher Lucian's ability?

Thinking of this, Carly couldn't help but feel a little unreal.

She raised her head with some uncertainty, and then saw Lucian's encouraging eyes.

"Teacher Lucian..." Carly looked down at the hunting bow on the experimental table, and seemed to understand Lucian's good intentions.

Teacher Lucian did this for her... That's why he guided her step by step, so that she could participate in the repair of the hunting bow step by step, right?

Carly thought of this and gently closed her eyes, but her emotions were surging.

"Teacher Lucian, I will definitely work hard!" After a long while, Carly opened her eyes and said in a sonorous tone.

Teacher Lucian cared so much for her, and she couldn't hold him back.

[Your student Carly respects you, respect value +50]

When Lucian received this system message, he couldn't help but be silent for a while, and a sense of guilt arose in his heart.

Of course, this sense of guilt was fleeting. Soon Lucian and Carly were engaged in a new round of Q\u0026A and teaching.

…

"This is also my last chance..." Lilia walked out of the library holding a book, with determination in her eyes.

As a third-level wizard apprentice who had tried to be promoted to a formal wizard three times and failed all the time, her spiritual sea had already become extremely fragile due to the backlash of the failed promotion. If she was forced to be promoted again, her spiritual sea would collapse directly and her entire head would explode directly.

But Lilia was unwilling to give up. Moreover, if she did not get promoted again, she would only have a dozen years left to live.

So although she knew that there was a trap in Bennett's words, she was still ready to fight desperately.

If she succeeded, she would be reborn from Nirvana. If she lost, she would die at most!

Lilia was thinking, but suddenly, she saw a black cat with two tails in front of her.

The black cat's green vertical pupils were staring at her at this time, and the pair of tails behind it were swinging leisurely and leisurely.

"Sir." Lilia bowed her head, showing the humility that a formal wizard should have.

"Do me a favor." The black cat spoke in a clear childish voice.

Lilia bowed, but did not respond.

"If you agree, after you return from your mission, I will give you a standard unit of [Blood Rose]." The black cat looked at Lilia with its dark green eyes, but it exuded a sense of pressure. "But if you can be promoted to a formal wizard, you need to make five unconditional moves."

Lilia's eyes lit up at once.

Blood Rose, this is a potion that can temporarily heal her broken spiritual sea and give her the opportunity to try to become a formal wizard!

"I am willing, sir." Lilia bowed almost 90 degrees, and then quickly signed the contract with the formal wizard behind the black cat.

Huh——

The next moment, Lilia felt her whole body stiffen, and her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

A strand of silver hair was cut off by the invisible air blade, and then floated towards the two-tailed black cat not far away.

During the flight, the strand of silver hair quickly deformed and squirmed, and finally became a rough cloth doll that was 50% or 60% similar to Lilia.

Lilia raised her head and looked at the doll with a complicated look.

She knew that from the moment she signed the contract, if she could not fulfill the entrustment of this adult, then her fate would be extremely miserable.

Emmm, 4.6 chapters, it feels a bit difficult to divide into chapters, so I just put them together.
