The early morning light shines through the colored windows and into the auditorium.
When Lu Li, who had not yet had a sweet dream, arrived, many curious students lay in front of the window and peered out.
After sitting in his seat, the prefect across the long table, soaked in sunshine, asked him: "Is the Land of Light more beautiful than this?"
Lu Li nodded as he thought of the golden beam of light that broke through the dark clouds and shone onto the sea and mountain peaks.
"I must go there if I have the chance..." His tone was filled with longing.
Every student who came to the auditorium was delighted with the change. According to Gorou, he ate two bowls more than usual.
On the way to the mystery class, the students frequently saw the gatekeepers. They hung colorful alchemical tablets everywhere to create an atmosphere.
The Mystery Classroom is no exception.
Curtains were hung on the windows that had always been just decorations, and the dim light penetrated the curtains and dimly fell into the classroom.
"Don't open the curtains, you will be disappointed when you see the truth." Professor Hagrid reminded the students who were leaning toward the window, smiling and nodding at Lu Li.
The occult class was spent by Lu Li reading through the books borrowed from the library. After class, Lu Li asked Professor Hagrid about the method of the level 2 trial of occultism.
"The gatekeeper will take the students participating in the trial to one of the three restricted areas, and then ask the students to complete the task. The task may be to find something hidden, or to find the source of some strange placement. Don't worry about danger,
That was done in a safe zone."
As an exorcist who walks the earth, Lu Li has an advantage over other students in the Level 2 Occult Trial.
Lu Li then approached Professor Lubohero of Alchemy, hoping to use the alchemy table to practice refining potions.
Although he already had the knowledge needed for the level 1 trial of alchemy, refining it by hand would consolidate this knowledge and lay a solid foundation for the level 2 trial. But Professor Lubohero rejected Lu Li.
"I'm sorry Mr. Lu Li, but in lower grades, students can only have access to test benches and crucibles in class."
Because of the risk of contamination, both the alchemical materials themselves and the refining process may bring dangers.
Although Professor Lubohero refused, fortunately, Lu Li still had a senior alchemy professor.
After the divination class ended, Lu Li put on his cloak and left the canopy just as the alchemy class began.
From the mixed area downwards, neither the middle graders nor the senior graders, Lu Li, could see their arrangements for the upcoming New Year. They were still dark and depressing.
Maybe it's not their turn yet, maybe...
Lu Li knocked on the door of the Alchemy Office.
"The door is unlocked, dear."
Professor Chris' cat-like lazy voice sounded in the office.
Lu Li entered the office. Professor Chris was sitting on the large sofa. The hanging pot in front of the fireplace appeared again, and the steam was rising.
"What's wrong? Are you missing me?" The eyes on her beautiful cheeks that were reddish by the firelight of the fireplace were crooked.
"I want to make a potion."
"It's such a shame, I thought the exorcist was here for me." Professor Chris said with regret, stretched out her tall and graceful body, and brought Lu Li an unknown piece of paper that gave off a strange color under the firelight.
Tell Lu Li how to use it: write down the alchemy materials and quantities he needs, and then throw them into the bonfire.
Lu Li wrote down the five required materials and threw the paper into the fireplace.
The burning leather paper suddenly bloomed with light blue light and blended into the charcoal.
Lu Li raised his eyes and looked at Professor Chris.
"Wait," she said.
Knock knock knock
A few minutes later, there was a rough knock on the door.
"Your materials have arrived." Professor Chris said.
Lu Li opened the door and saw five neatly wrapped pieces of alchemy materials lying on the floor.
There were mud marks scattered around, and the air was filled with the faint smell of mud after the rain.
"The Earth Residents Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yes." Professor Chris's narrow eyes scanned the alchemy ingredients: "Sweet Dream Potion, it seems you are ready to pass the Level 1 and Level 2 trials in one go."
Lu Li took them to the alchemy table, first set up a crucible, added water, and then crushed the wormwood.
The bitter taste of this herb becomes more intense after being affected by the strange power, and even the taste is as bitter as unsweetened coffee. Then follow the steps of "Basic Potion Refining" and add alchemical materials to the heated crucible.
Lu Li, who had memorized every step and dosage, could hardly make mistakes, Professor Chris watched. Lu Li's alchemy process had nothing to do with pleasing the eyes, it was more like a formulaic scientific procedure with another kind of beauty.
Twenty minutes later, the slightly turbid liquid was poured from the crucible into the empty bottle.
"60% pass rate? This is an amazing talent for a first-time refiner. If you really don't try to join alchemy, maybe I will teach you something interesting..." The voice of Professor Chris easily recognized the pass rate.
Bewitched.
"Is the person holding the cursed title powerful?" Lu Li asked.
"If there is no longer a terrible loss of humanity, each cursed title holder can single-handedly solve a strange race."
Lu Li cleaned the crucible and continued to refine the second potion of sweet dreams. His answer was already in Professor Chris's words.
The second Sweet Dream Potion went equally well, with a stable pass rate of 60%. But when the third Sweet Dream Potion also had a pass rate of 60%, Lu Li stopped refining it.
"Because you are too rational, dear. Fixed portion, fixed time, no surprises." Professor Chris said lazily: "The things made by the grinding tool will only be exactly the same. You also need to add a little sensibility.
Honey."
That is intuition and inspiration.
Maybe Lu Li should pay attention to the upcoming divination class.
Lu Li tried to use "Intuitive Inspiration" for the remaining two potions, but it was obvious that this technique was still too profound for a rookie who had only refined it three times. Two potions only yielded 50%, and one was close to failure with 30% of the Dream Potion.
.
"Keep this as a souvenir of your first time, and I'll help you sell the rest. I should be able to make some money back."
If there were not three bottles of potions with a 60% pass rate, this refining would not even be worth the price of the alchemy materials.
Farewell to Professor Chris, Lu Li returned to the canopy.
Passing by the middle-grade mixed area, a figure suddenly jumped in front of Lu Li and screamed incoherently: "Take me back to the canopy... take me back..."
The gatekeeper emerged from the shadows and dragged the shouting guy away.
"I don't want to be here! Let me go back up there!"
"What's wrong with him?"
Lu Li's inquiry received no answer, and the shouts disappeared into the distance as the people around him examined him.
…
Returning to the canopy is like returning to a warm and bright wooden house on a snowy night with a cold wind.
Lu Li returned to his dormitory. Today's newspapers and the information about Weiner Freeze Port had been brought back by the businessman Anthony, and they were lying quietly on the desk.
News from the ice-free port of Wiener: Mayor Matthäus has purchased a large amount of food and strives to ensure that every citizen will receive a ration on New Year's Day.
News from Andrea: Andrea, carrying the first batch of survivor residents, is heading towards the Arran Peninsula. They are expected to land in the Land of Light before the New Year.
