This wizard only wants to take students

"Lord Lucian, I have collected the moonlight moss you need. The completeness of each unit exceeds 98%..." Gagarin saw that Lucian seemed to be looking at him, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart. He carefully took over a basket containing moonlight moss, and then carefully "showed" his achievements.

"Thank you." Lucian was naturally not as close to Gagarin as Carly. After he nodded politely, he put away the basket of moonlight moss, and then called to Gagarin who was bowing slightly and was about to leave. Forest.

"I remember that you are good at ice witchcraft, right?" Lucian asked seemingly casually.

"Yes, yes." However, Gagarin became nervous and his heart was beating hard. He carefully observed Lucian and introduced himself quickly, hoping to attract Lucian's attention and show off himself. strength.

"Lord Lucian, I am good at ice-based witchcraft. I have improved [Frost Freeze] myself. I have improved the witchcraft that freezes an area into [Freeze Ray], which shoots a freezing light. The most powerful attack witchcraft I have mastered is [Ice]. Pillar Crushing Strike], the core-destroying power combined with one of my auxiliary shaman tools can achieve..."

"Yes, I understand." Lucian listened patiently to Gagarin's introduction and nodded slightly.

Gagarin is a very orthodox wizard apprentice. His level in all aspects is balanced, but not outstanding. Instead, he has a certain degree of universality.

At this time, Gagarin bowed his head, feeling extremely nervous.

"At this time tomorrow, come over to my place." Lucian's voice sounded, followed by the sound of footsteps gradually getting further away.

Gagarin never dared to raise his head, but his heart was still beating uncontrollably.

Lucian didn't know the excitement in Gagarin's heart at this time, and even if he knew it, he didn't really care.

After all, for him, this is just a small attempt to test the waters. Now his main focus is on two more important things: one is to prepare potions and accelerate the improvement of mental power with the cooperation of potions; and the second thing is to continue to study the alchemy code and design The first draft of exclusive witchcraft tools.

The purpose of these two things is actually only one, which is to speed up the accumulation of Lucian's strength so that he can consolidate his own strength and complete the accumulation of mental power as soon as possible, and be promoted to an official wizard.

Lucian still remembered that behind both Bennett and Lilia, there were official wizards manipulating the scenes.

Whether it's the somewhat strange investigation by the official wizard of the family behind Bennett, or the deadly doll Adeline that Lilia obtained from a certain official wizard, it was all the work of an official wizard.

They were just unable to enter due to the restrictions of the ruins, but that did not mean that Lucian would not encounter official wizards after leaving the ruins.

Perhaps, at this moment, there are official wizards waiting outside the ruins, waiting for them, the "winners" of the battle within the ruins, to come out of the ruins.

What's even worse may be that there is more than one official wizard squatting outside the ruins.

At this time, Lucian, who was inside the ruins, was unable to judge the external situation, so he had to consider the worst possibility and be as well prepared as possible.

"Let's prepare the Praise of Moonlight first. After preparing the potion, we still need to study the blocking effect of the space crystal. I remember looking at a certain manual in the study about the witch formation of the fairy clan. There is a similar rune structure in it for reference... "

Lucian quickly organized the experimental equipment on the table, and at the same time looked at a sketch spread out on the table.

The sketch is extremely complex, with many complicated alchemical runes and witch formations composed of alchemical runes densely drawn on it. However, the sketch has only completed an outline so far, and there are still a lot of blank spaces waiting for Lucian to fill in later.

However, judging from the parts that have been completed so far, we can already initially see the style of this witchcraft tool.

This is a book-style witchcraft tool, and under Lucian's intentional design, its appearance looks like a leather-covered notebook that he often uses.

However, its internal structure is extremely complex. Even in Lucian's imagination, this witchcraft tool can continuously fill its interior with new things as his strength improves, just like a blank notebook that can be filled with new things at any time. Just like the notebook owner keeps accumulating.

In the blank space on the right side of the sketch, the name of this unfinished witchcraft tool - "Wizard's Notes" is written.

While Lucian was immersed in configuring Moonlight Ode and solving related problems in the design draft of [Wizard's Notes], Gagarin became a little worried about gains and losses because of Lucian's words, and even spent the second half of the day in a state of excitement and anxiety. Pass.

Although Gagarin also knew that his behavior was a bit funny, he couldn't help but think about it.

He had not experienced this somewhat unrealistic feeling for a long time. It seemed that the last time he had a similar feeling was when he entered the Ashbone Academy as a new blood. At that time, he was still full of curiosity and curiosity about the mysterious and powerful wizard. Longing for it, I still don’t know the bloody cruelty of the wizarding world.

"Wake up, Gagarin, you are not Carly. Maybe the truth is not as good as you imagined. This world is cruel." Gagarin finally couldn't control himself. He patted his head. Pour yourself some cold water.

But when he thought of Carly, who was lying in the core area of ​​the secret realm and being baptized, his mood still couldn't help but rise and fall.

But after a long time, Gagarin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

After all, he is no longer the stupid boy who just stepped into the wizarding world, was a bit bratty, and was also ignorant, fearless and brave.

Now that he has a very qualified "Wizard's Thinking", he is also subconsciously thinking about the equivalent exchange pursued by wizards, and wondering whether there is anything on his side that Lucian is interested in as a "chip."

At the same time, Gagarin was also thinking about Lucian's purpose in letting him go, and the "value" Lucian needed.

"Actually... I'm in a good state now. At least it's better than when I followed Lilia before." After a moment of silence, Gagarin grinned, as if he was hiding the uneasiness and embarrassment in his heart with a smile, but in In his heart, he still couldn't help but look forward to Lucian's instructions.

"By the way, Lord Lucian seems to have a huge demand for moonlight moss during this period. I'll get up early tomorrow morning and collect some more. I don't need to say anything else..." Gagarin just entered the meditative state. Simply opened his eyes. Then he stood up and took advantage of the night to rush to the woods where the moonlight moss grew.

…

Early the next morning, when Lucian finished his night of meditation and came outside to get some air, he saw Gagarin not far from the study, who had found a place to sit silently in meditation.

Beside him, there was a small pile of moonlight moss, and there were even crystal dewdrops on some of the moss, as if they had just been picked.

"So early?" Lucian looked at Gagarin who was silently meditating and waiting, and raised his eyebrows. However, Lucian soon understood the reason, and could only sigh silently in his heart. These weak wizard apprentices want to get a chance. Not easy.

However, Lucian did not say anything. After observing silently for a while, he returned to the study. Then he took out the first draft of [Wizard's Notes] and continued to revise and adjust it.

When the time agreed with Gagarin was almost up, Lucian put down his work and walked out of the study. Then he saw Gagarin standing respectfully at the door.

"Lord Lucian." Gagarin bowed, his tone filled with respect and humility belonging to a lower-ranking person.

"Well, come in." Lucian nodded slightly and led Gagarin into the room.

Gagarin took a deep breath and suppressed the nervousness in his heart. He carefully followed Lucian into the study or Lucian's temporary laboratory. However, his mood could not help but fluctuate slightly, and he was a little worried about his next fate. .

Under Gagarin's nervous and hopeful eyes, Lucian looked at Gagarin, thought for a while, and then slowly spoke.

"Gagarin, you probably want to work with me in the future, right?" Lucian looked at Gagarin and spoke slowly.

"Yes, Lord Lucian." Gagarin bowed slightly, but felt extremely uneasy in his heart. Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to add a big chip to himself.

"Lord Lucian, I am only 2 spiritual runes away from being promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice. I am willing to follow you, even if I am promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice later..."

Lucian looked at Gagarin and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

It seems that this guy has put all the treasure on himself, and according to Gagarin, this is already considered selling oneself to a certain extent, which is usually done between third-level wizard apprentices and formal wizards. make such a concession.

"I understand." Lucian looked at Gagarin and spoke softly to interrupt his "sales pitch."

After thinking for a moment, Lucian took out a list.

"Well, although I have no plans to accept students for the time being, I do need some people to help me when I return to the academy..."

Gagarin felt nervous and couldn't help but raise his head slightly and carefully looked at the piece of paper handed over by Lucian.

He originally thought it was a strict contract, but upon closer inspection he discovered that it was actually just a list.

"Lord Lucian... is this?" Gagarin looked at the list handed over by Lucian and was a little confused for a moment.

"Exchange of equal value." Lucian tapped some numbers at the back of the list and signaled Gagarin to read it himself.

Gagarin held his breath, then quickly browsed.

1 standard unit of magic stone...10 points

1 standard portion of moonlight moss... 2 points

…

1 standard unit of recovery potion... 100 points

1 standard unit of Moonlight Praise... 2000 points

…

Gray Bones Basic Meditation Method (Improved)...10,000 points

…

Gagarin's breathing slowly became heavier.

He looked at the exchange list and browsed through the various items, knowledge, or other resources on it, and felt that his eyes were a little red.

"Sir... sir, what is this?" Gagarin thought of some possibility, and he couldn't help but look up at Lucian.

"If you do something for me, I will use points as your reward. After a comprehensive evaluation based on the seriousness, results, value, etc. of your work, I will give you a certain amount of points as a reward."

Lucian looked at Gagarin, then pointed to the small pile of moonlight moss he had just moved in. "For example, if you have 29 basic units of these moonlight mosses, then according to the purchase price I proposed, it is 46 points."

"You can use your points to exchange for any items, knowledge, or other resources on the list you want to exchange. Of course, if you want to exchange those knowledge from me, you need to sign an additional confidentiality agreement." Lucian smiled and pushed the list to Gagarin, shrugging. "Everything is an equal exchange."

Gagarin took a deep breath, but his hands trembled a little because of excitement.

Equivalent exchange? Bullshit equivalent exchange, when he followed Lilia before, Lilia also talked about the so-called equivalent exchange, but the final result was that the benefits often did not fall on him, but the dangers always took him to resist.

If Lilia's equivalent exchange could be as open and fair as what Lucian listed on this list, then Gagarin would not have joined forces with several second-level wizard apprentices on the way to Kosai Island to protect himself.

After all, many of the resources listed by Lucian in the points exchange list are enough to make second-level wizard apprentices, and even third-level wizard apprentices, fight for their lives.

For example, the potion [Moonlight Praise] is a precious potion that can harmlessly assist wizard apprentices to improve their mental power. It is a precious potion that is difficult to buy with magic stones. If Gagarin can take a Moonlight Praise, then he can be successfully promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice!

Not to mention that there are many other resources, even some precious witchcraft models, and...

"My lord, this... improved basic meditation method?" Gagarin looked at one of the items on the list, and looked at Lucian in surprise, and his heart was even more uneasy.

"Oh, that's a slightly modified version I made with the help of the Gray Bone Meditation. The effect is about 50% higher than the original version." Lucian explained briefly.

This improved version of meditation is actually the Gray Bone Meditation·Revised. Although it is not as good as the Gray Bone Meditation·Revised II that Lucian used himself, it is naturally much more powerful than the original Gray Bone Meditation.

Even in Lucian's plan, if conditions permit, he will also take out the Gray Bone Meditation·Revised II to "seduce" these wizards.

But it certainly can't be now. After all, with the strength of the Gray Bone Meditation·Revised II, it may attract the snatch and covetousness of formal wizards, or even higher-level wizards. Lucian is quite clear about the big appetite.

But even so, this Gray Bone Meditation·Revised, which Lucian doesn't think much of, has made Gagarin's breathing heavy, and his whole body trembled slightly.

The third chapter will be a little later, slightly modified
