CHAPTER : 5
Chapter 5: Rules for Witches (above)
That’s right, good, very good, very good, that’s the expression to get!
After sensing Carrie’s emotions, Lucien couldn’t help but curve his face with his back to Carrie.
However, to maintain his compulsion, Lucian did not speak, but continued his performance.
With a very steady right hand, he poured the potion in the test tube into the crucible that was gurgling and bubbling at a near-constant rate.
A perfect opening!
Lucien secretly gave himself a nod in his heart.
However, the next moment, he discovered that the mixed medicinal liquid in the crucible, at this moment, had a sudden change in color, from the original dark green, all of a sudden turned into a dark red.
‘Not good, the pre-treatment medicinal solution has been set aside for too long!’ Lucien’s heart thumped.
He had, after all, only just traveled over not long ago, and despite inheriting the original owner’s memories, it was clear that such things as experience and familiarity had not been fully inherited.
Bang – the crucible let out a soft pop, followed by thick black smoke rising.
Lucian: ……
Carrie carefully observed Lucian’s somewhat less-than-ideal face at this moment, feeling that her luck was just too bad.
‘Ahem, small thing.’ Lucian took a deep breath, at this time he couldn’t care less about hurting his potion, but instead, he somewhat curiously sized up Carly, and soon, his brow wrinkled slightly, ‘Are you alone?’
‘There …… is still one more, maybe …… it might be a little slower.’ Carly thought of Yellen who ran away with that third-level sorcerer apprentice, hesitated, or said it slightly more euphemistically.
‘This way ah, then you sit for a little while, later a piece of the first teaching, this also saves some trouble.’ Lucien pondered for a while, and gently waved his hand, at once a chair flew out from the utility room at the back, then steadily landed in front of Carrie.
‘Guide …… mentor, do you want me to do something?’
Carrie looked a bit rushed at this moment, especially when she saw Lucien himself slowly packing up the waste liquid of the stamina potion that he had just configured, Carrie couldn’t sit still for a bit, and after hesitating for a while, she still plucked up the courage to open her mouth.
Lucien looked at this young girl who pinched the corner of his coat, thought for a moment, then looked at the ‘mess’ in front of his table, and couldn’t help but smile, ‘That’s fine, you come to clean up, I will also teach you how to clean these potion preparation instruments, and may also be useful in the future. ’
‘Ah, yes.’ Carrie stood up in a panic, then jogged to Lucien’s side, holding her breath, afraid that if she breathed a little louder she would disturb Lucien as if she was.
‘Nervous?’ Lucien looked at this skinny young girl who was at most eleven or twelve years old and casually asked.
‘No, no!’ Carrie subconsciously stood upright, and her hands also somewhat unnaturally cupped the corners of her skirts on both sides.
Lucien looked at her like this and suddenly thought of the ‘I’m called not nervous’ gentleman from before he traveled across the world.
‘This is similar to washing dishes, of course, it requires a little bit of skill, or else there’s a possibility of damaging the apparatus.’ Lucien, after a brief demonstration, let Carrie start cleaning up from the simplest test tube.
‘Okay, I’ll try ……,’ Carly wasn’t ambiguous, her movements were sharp.
Lucien nodded slightly, and cleaned the crucible himself – there was still a large amount of waste liquid left here, which was a kind of ‘pollution’ for the new blood who hadn’t formally stepped onto the path of a sorcerer, so he needed to do it himself.
‘Why hasn’t it come yet?’ It had been a while since this side had finished cleaning, but the other apprentice still hadn’t seen anyone, which made Lucien’s brows wrinkle.
Although he considered himself to have a good temper, being stood up for close to two hours by a student who hadn’t even formally worshipped him yet still made him feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.
After all, he was still planning to quickly bind the student and officially activate his system!
‘Mentor ……’ Carrie on the side sensed Lucien’s increasingly gloomy face, hesitated, opened her mouth, and was about to say something when, at this time, from outside the door was a burst of a big grinning voice.
‘Lucien!’
Carrie closed her mouth.
Lucien, on the other hand, frowned and with a wave of his hand, the door of the laboratory opened. Then, from the corridor outside, a third-level sorcerer apprentice, also cloaked in black sorcerer’s robes, was seen striding over.
‘Noriaan, what is it?’ Lucien looked at the visitor and frowned slightly.
According to the original owner’s memories, this was a Third Grade Sorcerer Apprentice whose combat power was not weaker than the original owner’s, and who likewise had a formal sorcerer tutor as his backstage behind him. However, this Noriaan and the original owner could only be considered acquaintances, with an average relationship and even some minor conflicts.
Carrie, however, shrank her neck, she recognized that the person coming was none other than the third-level sorcerer apprentice that Yellen had just chased after, so she had already roughly guessed what was going to happen.
‘A small matter.’ Noriaan smiled, ‘A newcomer wants to learn from me very much, but when he chose his mentor before, he accidentally chose you.’
‘Tell you what, let’s go by the rules, you let me have that little guy, and I’ll give you equivalent compensation. Well, it’s just a third-class qualification little guy, it’s not that rare. How about this, just …… one magic stone, how about it?’
Noriaan smiled, not caring in the slightest about Lucian and the Carrie next to Lucian, even, though he looked at Carrie more at this time, leaving the latter with a meaningful look.
Obviously, Noriaan did not care about the seriously injured Lucian at this time, if not for the rules of the academy, I’m afraid that he was not even willing to pay for this magic stone.
Lucien’s pupils slightly shrunk.
One magic stone!
This price was the exchange threshold for an official ‘trade’ within the academy.
In other words, if it wasn’t for the formalization of the deal, I’m afraid that the other party wouldn’t even be willing to pay this one magic stone!
This was to take advantage of his serious injuries to bully his way in and rob the students!
The change in Lucien’s eyes was naturally noticed by Noriaan, but he didn’t care in the slightest.
After all, Lucien in his heyday was just comparable to him, and at this time, he wasn’t afraid of offending Lucien in his severely injured state at all.
The wizard world was originally weak and strong.
Lucien was seriously injured, and weak, then he found the opportunity, at this time naturally wanting to tear off a piece of meat!
Otherwise, if it was too late, there wouldn’t even be any bones left.
Lucian took several deep breaths, he looked at Noriaan whose smile was a bit teasing, and understood that this was the cold law of the jungle, the law of the sorcerer.
However, in his heart, more or less, there was still some reluctance.
After all, on the front foot, he had just paid twenty magic stones for this. This was a large sum of money. To know, the magic stones left in his hands now were less than twenty!
