Chapter 52 Night Talk in the Tower(1/2)

High-intensity alchemical operations come at a price, and consume a lot of physical strength and energy.

8pm.

Xia Zuo put three bottles of powder on the tray, and when he walked out of the advanced alchemy room with the tray, his face turned slightly pale, and his fingers and arms could not stop trembling.

Kulov glanced at the tray with his peripheral vision, his brows jumped, and he coughed lightly to pretend to be calm:

"Ahem, yes, I have refined 3 more bottles of perfect quality poison refining powder. Go back and rest.

"At 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, come directly here for class. If I'm not here, you can train by yourself in the advanced alchemy room."

"Yes, Professor. See you tomorrow." Xia Zuo walked towards the door with empty steps.

Why is the instructor acting a little weird tonight...

He shook his groggy head. He was so tired that he just wanted to have a good sleep and had no extra energy to explore the reason for the other party's abnormality.

The footsteps in the poison alchemy area gradually faded away.

After the sound of the stone door opening and closing was heard in the distance, Kulov picked up a glass bottle and sat on a chair.

"Xia Zuo refined 9 pieces of refined powder today, all of which are of perfect quality." Kulov took out 9 glass bottles from his pocket and put them on the desk.

Fifteen turrets overlooking the city are scattered around the castle, guarding the tall tower in the center.

In particular, Xia Zuo still comes to this world with the memories of his previous life. Even if he deliberately disguises himself, his true colors will always be exposed as time goes by.

"Nine parts of perfect quality refined powder, that is the top second-class alchemical potential."

"I never thought that he figured out the original version of the antidote by himself and asked what the correct solvent was... Then I gave him ale and he learned it.

Beatrice shook her head, her silky hair flowing on her shoulders:

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Kulov's reaction at this time was a conditioned reflex.

Beatrice leaned back, her plump upper body fit against the goose down backrest, her curves were graceful, and she had a smile on her lips:

"Tell me about Xia Zuo. What are his subtle habits and characteristics? I have to weigh again whether this little guy who is still a few months away from adulthood can bear my expectations and attention."

He coughed lightly, sat up straight, spread his hands and said:

"If you calculate it this way, Xia Zuo's refining time today will be less than 6 hours.

“Xia Zuo is naturally suited to live and grow in an environment with a strong academic atmosphere.

"The Mage Temple will not believe the study records you submitted so easily. You know, this is not a matter of trust.

The knock on the door sounded in the empty corridor, and it was absorbed by the soft woolen velvet carpet under your feet before it spread far.

"When you were a mage's servant, you only knew how to read books and do exercises. After you got the meditation method, you only knew how to meditate. Now that you are a mentor, it's still like this... You really haven't changed at all."

Kulov covered his head and stuttered:

"Head of the Academy, I taught him the recipe for the refined poison powder today. In compliance with the laws of the Mage Temple, I taught him the most simplified version.

Kulov nodded slowly and returned to his usual calm appearance.

"Head of the courtyard."

"Besides normal teaching, I really have nothing to teach him. He is much more self-disciplined than I was at that age.

"The Mage Temple unconditionally trusts any practicing mage, not to mention that you are a high-level mage in the field of poison alchemy. Xia Zuo will definitely delve deeper into this field in the future, and there is no need for you to make fun of his life.

Kulov rubbed his brows and said, "Headmaster, I'll go back first."

"Yes, there is plenty of time..." Beatrice's eyes were in a daze, showing inexplicable guilt, and her voice gradually became lower:

"I can also teach entry-level meditation methods, can't I?" Beatrice looked at the other person's anxious look and chuckled:

There are four skylights on the ceiling of the study room, and the stars and full moon become tranquil decorations.

"Go to class on time and finish class on time. After class, he will help me clean the alchemy room, organize the toxin bottles and the alchemy table. I can also summarize my alchemy experience and shortcomings, and correct my homework according to the template.

"There's no need to be so troublesome. As I get older, standards, principles, and laws are no longer so important. Besides, I will find a suitable way."

The door opens and then closes.

Kulov's lips wriggled, as if he wanted to say something related to the law again, and finally sighed, "Yes, Head of the Academy. I understand."

"Uh, Headmaster, are you kidding me? He hasn't finished learning the entry-level poison alchemy. If he changes his tutor now, does it violate the laws of the temple?"

"Let him refine the poison and refine the powder by himself. This will help him understand the characteristics of the elements."

"Miffy Morton wrote me a letter some time ago.

"Besides...his refining time is only 6 hours! Two hours shorter than the rated time of the Mage Temple!"

"After this little girl joined the circus, she traveled around Rosak Province and found a few uninhibited elements that suited her. She was very lucky."

"Kulof, if it hadn't been for the accident decades ago, you wouldn't be as old as you are now... This is a knot in my heart that I haven't been able to untie..."

Beatrice held the letter paper, stared at the words on the letter, and said with twinkling eyes:

"She mentioned one thing: other members of the circus praised her more than once for being as hardworking as Xia Zuo.

"I, I... When I was learning about White Palate Poison decades ago, I always wondered what its antidote formula would be.

"Head of the hospital, I have something going on here."

After the alchemical linguistics course was over, she did not have to leave the study.

Beatrice sat on the desk chair, looking at the other party's serious face, put down the pen in her hand, took the floating book box, took out a book and read it.

"Xia Zuo's memory and alchemy potential determine that he will not stay at the entry-level stage for too long. It may only take one to two years to master all the entry-level recipes.

Most spells are prohibited in the academy.

"Only 9 raw materials are missing!? He made alchemy 9 times and never made a mistake?!" A cry of surprise sounded in the room.

If Xia Zuo were still here, he would definitely touch the back of his head in embarrassment and say some silly things like "it just feels good", "is in good condition", "a little talented but a little talented".

Except for the most basic courses such as alchemy and linguistics, which require her to personally go to the podium to guide the new students, all practical courses in functional pharmacy are taught by her elemental servants.

This was followed by another even louder cry: "They are all of perfect quality?!"

"I have to find the head of the hospital quickly!"

She called to Kulov who was about to open the door:

Kulov looked at the clock on the wall and said to himself:

"So I just mentioned it, hoping that he would retreat in spite of the difficulties.

The majestic Starry Night Castle occupies the most prosperous area of ​​the city.

"9 parts of powder...all of them are of perfect quality, 1 part more than I expected."

"You won't be meditating all the time, right?" Beatrice raised her slender eyebrows, folded her arms in front of her chest, and said slightly harshly:

"When he becomes a skilled poison alchemist, I will teach him the antidote. Do you have any objections?"

"Did you teach the antidote to White Palate Poison? Haha, you were chanting the law, but you ended up teaching the proficiency level content first."

"I think you know better than me what the living conditions are like in the southernmost village of Rosak Province. Such an environment will only bury his nature and talent."



"You refused to tell me. I think Xia Zuo would have the same idea, and he would be as confused as I was at that time...

In fact, there is at least a 150-year age difference between the two. Beatrice was once his mentor, and the teacher-student relationship lasted for decades.

"Kulov, you and I both know that this is not a simple teaching error."

Beatrice smiled instantly and snapped her fingers.

"I have watched you grow up and know what you are like, so I will accept what you say.

Inside the boys' dormitory at this time.

"Tuk Tuk"

"Don't worry, except for the antidote for white palate poison, I have not disclosed the antidote for other deadly poisons."

"correct."

But no matter how he argued, Kulov, as a veteran, clearly understood what 100% success rate and perfect quality control meant.

"No, no. I completely agree with your move." Kulov waved his hand, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Either practicing fire breathing in a tipi tent, or reading a book in a hotel. The environment can change people, but human nature will not be changed easily.

A faint smile appeared on her beautiful face, complementing her silky hair the color of the morning sun, eclipsing the bright candlelight in the room.

"Moreover, I have already promised him. As long as he can understand the characteristics of elements on his own, I will teach him the entry-level meditation method after he becomes a skilled poison alchemist. Just like what you did back then."

"No, no, no.."

Beatrice controlled the letter to fly back to the bookshelf, and made a soft hum of satisfaction from the corner of her mouth:

The page recording the antidote for white palate toxin burned, and turned into ashes in just two or three seconds, with black and gray ashes floating into the fireplace beside the wall.

"This" Kulov showed a mixture of embarrassment and hesitation.

Kulov passed through the beam of light cast by the moon from the skylight, gently rubbed the fingers of his right hand, and controlled the book box to fly towards the gorgeous figure behind the large desk.
