Chapter 37 The preparatory stage, the beautiful duke!
Colin left very simply, without any hesitation. When he saw Xiao Zhan, Colin made his own judgment. How could a boy about the same age as him actually want to give him advice?
He thought that the Alchemy Institute was too childish to make such an unwise choice.
But what Colin didn't expect was that he was the only one who left. What were those guys thinking? He was just a guy who was leading them. They really thought he was some kind of master.
Colin was very unhappy. Naturally, he would not take Xiao Zhan seriously. In his opinion, this must be a junior of a senior executive of the Alchemy Academy who was brought in to play, and they would definitely become experimental subjects. Colin was not convinced about this kind of thing.
But he was very familiar with it. He had done this before, so he didn't believe that Xiao Zhan had any ability at all. He was just a connection person who came to get gold.
"You want to come back to my class?"
Matt looked at Colin with a respectful expression in surprise. He naturally knew that this person should be retained by Xiao Zhan, but he didn't expect him to come back so soon, which surprised him.
"Yes, I am willing to study under the master again, and I also ask the master to take me under his wing."
Matt is an alchemist master. He may not reach the level of a grandmaster, but he is definitely a top existence at this level. He is quite famous in the alchemy academy and is considered to be the strongest alchemy instructor under the grandmaster.
Although Colin looked very respectful, Matt still said seriously: "You have been recruited by Master Greer. Logically speaking, I cannot accept you. This matter needs to be discussed with Master Greer."
Colin said hurriedly: "He has already agreed. Is it possible that the master is still unwilling to take me in?"
"Master Grell agrees?"
Matt raised his eyebrows. He looked at Colin, who was a little nervous, and suddenly shook his head and said, "Okay, since you want to come back, then come back. I just hope you won't regret what happened today."
"I won't regret it."
Colin said firmly.
Matt shook his head secretly. He had been a mentor for so long. He didn't understand Colin's little thoughts. He thought Xiao Zhan was too young, so he felt contempt and decided to come back to him. Unfortunately, this kid didn't know that he refused to become a
A disciple of a holy master, how much opportunity has he missed? Is the so-called professional title really that important?
Matt felt sorry for Colin. Having experienced too much, he knew very well how important a strong teacher is. Even if you cannot reach the height of a teacher, at least your vision will become different after being influenced by what you hear and see. Many times, the power of a strong teacher will change.
You will benefit from the operation after watching it once. With a powerful teacher, you may be able to observe and learn at any time. Maybe Xiao Zhan is very young, but his skills are definitely a real holy master. If it weren't for his identity, Matt
I even want to study.
By the way, you must not miss the open class next week. This is the experience taught by the Holy Master, especially the alchemical language is said to be the key to the Holy Master, and it is also full of temptations for magicians. Matt has heard that when the time comes, the Magic Court will
There will also be people coming to listen to the lectures, and they are also important people.
Matt, who has lived for such a long time, knows very well that face cannot be used as a living. If you have the opportunity to learn the skills you dream of, it is better not to lose the face. If you don't understand this, then your life has been in vain for so many years.
"Go down and I'll ask someone to retrieve your files."
Matt was too lazy to talk nonsense to Colin. This kid may have good talent, but his brain is not very good yet. I hope this time can make him remember things better.
…
Of course, Xiao Zhan will not be in a bad mood just because of the departure of Colin, and there will definitely be no class today. However, he still gave his seven apprentices the arrangements for last night. No matter what, preparation work is still needed, so that they can get acquainted with the basics in advance.
, otherwise you will not be able to keep up with the progress during class.
Xiao Zhan has been very busy recently. Although there are only thirty students, a lot of preparation work needs to be done. The most troublesome thing is that there are no computers or brains around him, so it is impossible to simply input and print out what he needs.
Xiao Zhan specially wrote the footstep, and left the publishing and copying matters to Monica. These are not enough. He still needs to make many basic teaching models.
The new environment will definitely require adaptation. Ru Niang is getting familiar with the environment here. For the time being, she plans to be responsible for internal affairs. However, Xiao Zhan does not intend to let her only do this. When he asked her to follow him, he intended to train her into a real assistant.
.Although Monica is very professional, Xiao Zhan knows very well that he will definitely be busier and busier in the future. Even a very capable beauty like Su Li will form her own private main team. It can be seen that one or two assistants are not enough.
use.
Xiao Zhan simply assigned some simple homework, which did not require hands-on writing, but let them think. What Xiao Zhan raised was definitely not a simple alchemy problem, it was the relationship and contradiction between holy metal and traditional alchemy.
at.
Most people may not know what Holy Alchemy is. In fact, it is a special alchemy that evolved from Immortal Technology. Xiao Zhan did this just to follow the Romans. If it is called Immortal Art, it is not special to many alchemists.
Meaning, because they don't understand what immortality is at all, so it is most appropriate to call it holy metal.
Of course, Xiao Zhan actually wanted to call it the Holy Art of Alchemy, but thinking about it carefully, it felt inappropriate. The Holy Art of Alchemy is just a high-level alchemy, which is not enough to distinguish his own alchemy from traditional alchemy.
.So Xiao Zhan called it Holy Metal Technique, or Holy Technique for short.
Naturally, the name is definitely not the focus, it is just a name that can be distinguished.
"What do you think of our mentor?"
After Xiao Zhan assigned the homework, he let the seven apprentices move freely. As for what they were doing, it was not his concern. If these guys were not satisfied with him during the simple assessment tomorrow, they would just wait to be taught how to behave. Xiao Zhan
Zhan will definitely not fire people because of such a trivial matter, but he will definitely let these apprentices with a short-term attitude know the serious consequences of not following the rules.
"Well...he is very small, he shouldn't be older than us."
"It's definitely not older than us, or even younger than me. It's unbelievable that someone about our age can actually become our mentor. It's just a joke."
"I'm worried about our future. Colin left very simply. Why didn't I leave?"
Several boys and girls gathered together, and they were all very uneasy. The most talented among the eight apprentices was undoubtedly Isa, followed by Colin. Now that Colin has left, the remaining people are naturally uneasy.
I was silent when I heard someone say this.
"Actually... I think the reason why I stayed is that since the Alchemy Academy made him our mentor, there is always a reason. Also... I am just an ordinary person, and my talent is not as good as that of Colin. Even if there is one
What if the master is a mentor?"
Sneijder was twisting his head, and he was embarrassed to say that he had no requirements for who should be his mentor. Anyway, he just felt that since he could become the mentor of the Alchemy Academy, he must be a capable person, otherwise the Alchemy Academy would not let him become a mentor.
.
"Isa, your strength and talent are the strongest here. What do you think?"
Suddenly, a girl looked curiously at Isa, who was holding a manuscript and studying it. It seemed that this girl had not spoken since they met and had been studying the notebook.
He is truly one of the top five super geniuses this year. He is researching all the time. No wonder he has grabbed so much more than us.
Isa raised her head. She was fascinated by what she saw. Xiao Zhan's seemingly handwritten note shocked her. Many things in it subverted her knowledge. Although she had not really tested it, she had a hunch.
Everything recorded here should be true.
No wonder she said that her alchemy is different from the traditional one. These theories explain many alchemies from another aspect. What Isa wants to do most now is to find a laboratory to verify the many things recorded in her notes. Where is she?
Pay attention to what the classmates around you are talking about.
"Are you talking to me?"
"..."
The girl who asked the question was really depressed, and she said to her, "Didn't I tell you, are you too serious about the air? You are actually studying alchemy all the time, and you are almost obsessed with it."
After a while, the girl couldn't help but said: "Isa, why did you choose to stay? That Colin left without hesitation."
"You're an idiot, why should you care."
Isa said calmly, her eyes falling on the notes again.
"..."
The girl was speechless again. Colin is a recognized genius. He may not be as good as Isa, but he is still much better than them. Even if Isa calls him an idiot, then who are we?
The girl felt very hurt. Although Isa didn't say anything to her, the impact of these words was too great.
It must be admitted that the girl has completely overthought it, but Isa obviously doesn't care anymore, she is studying her notes again.
"Isa, you haven't said why you stayed."
The girl is obviously a persistent person and will never give up until she finds the answer. She is not as beautiful as Isha, especially with her eyes. When most boys see her, their first impression is definitely not that of a beauty. In fact, the girl is pretty good-looking.
As long as she dresses up a little, she will definitely be sublimated, but she is obviously not the kind of person who likes to dress up.
Isa was a little helpless. She was not angry at all, because her best friend usually talked a lot and always liked to talk non-stop. Being a girl like this did not affect her mood.
"The teacher looks very young, but he is really powerful. What I am looking forward to most now is to listen to the teacher's first lesson. It must be very interesting."
"Really?"
The girl obviously didn't believe it.
Isa smiled and said: "Haven't you noticed that there are the dean and deputy dean next to where the teacher lives? This place should only be occupied by important people from the Alchemy Academy. Also, there are many warriors and magicians where the teacher lives.
,Aren’t you surprised?”
"Is there any?"
The girl was a little confused. Her observation ability was really average.
Yes, I noticed that when we came in, an uncle had a scary look in his eyes, as if he thought I was some kind of bad guy. I was so frightened that I almost ran away.
Sneijder said with some lingering fear. His words made other teenagers nod their heads. Apparently they had similar experiences.
Isa smiled and said: "There are so many magicians and warriors in an alchemist's residence. They must be his bodyguards. I see that they are all wearing magic academy-specific clothes. They must be sent by the magic academy. With these,
Do you think our teachers will be ordinary people?"
The six boys and girls were amazed for a while, confident that in retrospect it was really like this. Even though the small building was very quiet, there were warriors and guards in every corner. This was obviously abnormal, and it showed that the identity of the owner of the small building was unusual.
Isa smiled indifferently. These did not mean that Xiao Zhan was a powerful alchemist. At most, he had a noble status. What really made her judge so was the reading notes in her hand. This girl who looked about the same age as herself was definitely a real genius.
At least he's much better than her.
"You have to work hard. Although the teacher didn't say anything, the homework he assigned is not as simple as you think."
Isa kindly reminded me that she was studying the notes given by Xiao Zhan, so she somewhat understood why the teacher assigned these assignments. If she didn't think about it carefully, she would be careful about the teacher wearing small shoes during class.
"No, it sounds easy."
The girl muttered, but the one who spoke was the first genius among them, so she still felt a little guilty.
"Anyway, just take care of yourself."
Isa said nothing more and began to study the notes in her hand again.
At this time, the mood of the six teenagers became much better. Isa's words were like a tonic. Even the first genius said this. I believe their teacher must be very powerful and their choice must be right.
…
Monica will be here soon. She brought back thirty sets of elementary alchemy. These were naturally written by Xiao Zhan. Each set has more than twenty subjects and is very complicated. It can be said that Xiao Zhan basically
All foundation building parts have been taken into consideration, and the content is very simple and easy to understand. It is very useful for apprentices who are like a blank piece of paper. The ones who have a little trouble are those alchemists who have received these educations, but this should not be too big for him.
Difficulties.
Call the apprentices of the Holy Grail family and ask them to each receive a set. The remaining secret books must be for the other seven apprentices. Xiao Zhan thought that he should put all his apprentices into the same dormitory to facilitate their communication.
If you are with other alchemists, it is not a good choice in the early stage.
Of course, this matter needs to be discussed with the director of the hospital. Xiao Zhan went directly to Ferguson's house to have a meal. He was not ordinary thick-skinned and did not think there was anything wrong at all. Ferguson agreed to Xiao Zhan's request. This was a very reasonable consideration. Likewise,
It's not a big deal, it can be done easily.
"You recruited eight apprentices, and one left. Now there are only thirty apprentices in the entire class. There is still a big gap between the minimum standard of fifty in the Alchemy Academy. Do you think we can add a few more?"
Ferguson couldn't forget this matter. It's hard to say who was not selected. Hearing that the boy named Colin actually gave up on his own initiative, he almost wanted to call him an idiot. What a rare opportunity it was to be able to learn from the Holy Master. He didn't know what was good or bad. It was simply
Just stupid.
Xiao Zhan said with a smile: "This kind of thing should be left to chance. If we recruit people just to fill up the numbers, wouldn't it be very hurtful to kick us out in the future?"
Ferguson shook his head and said, "It's inappropriate for you to think like this. You're thinking about kicking people out before we even start. This is not the mentality a qualified mentor should have."
Xiao Zhan said disapprovingly: "The master of the hospital should know that I am an envoy of the God of Truth. Whether a person is good or not, I can see through at a glance. If they are really not good, then I will look at those who are not suitable."
Ferguson was stunned when he heard this. He had never considered that Xiao Zhan was special. The man in front of him not only had the skills of a holy master and could make holy weapons, he was also a divine envoy.
God of truth?
Well, this god sounds like the kind of supreme being that grasps the truth. It shouldn't be difficult to see through a person's true identity.
"Okay, since you insist, that's it for the time being. But in the future, if you think someone is suitable, let me know, and I will find a way to help you get them over."
"Isn't this bad?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. As long as it's for the good of the Alchemy Academy and the apprentices, I can do whatever I want."
Ferguson said firmly, as if he already had justice in his hands.
"..."
Xiao Zhan saw that the master of the hospital was so insistent, so he stopped talking. As long as you like it.
Since Ferguson agreed to help, he didn't just say it. He ordered someone to do it early the next morning. This was not a matter for seven apprentices. He was thinking very far. In the future, Xiao Zhan will definitely fill his class with fifty places.
So he needs to prepare a dormitory for at least fifty people.
Of course, Ferguson couldn't just build a dormitory for fifty people. His idea was to build a new alchemy branch, specially designated for Xiao Zhan's use. A holy master should have such treatment, and the alchemy branch should continue to squeeze his
ability.
These are definitely big projects, and it is not enough for Ferguson to speak alone. He first needs to go through the Presbyterian Council, and then report it to the Academy of Magic. Only the dean can give the final signature.
It's easy to talk inside the Alchemy Institute, and several elders support Ferguson, so the only thing he needs is to convince the dean. Ferguson went to see the dean early in the morning, but he found that the dean had distinguished guests today, even the old man Milner was there.
"You came just in time. I was planning to send someone to call you."
Olivia nodded towards Ferguson. She was talking to a woman. It seemed that her identity was not simple.
Ferguson has never seen this very special woman. She is very beautiful, and she can compete with the dean when she was young. Of course, he is not saying that the current dean is not beautiful, but that this lady is full of beauty.
The unique vitality of young people is completely different from the graceful and elegant temperament of a lady like the dean.
"Your Excellency, this is the master of our Alchemy Academy. If you have any needs, you can tell him. If he can satisfy you, he will definitely satisfy you."
Duke?
Ferguson was a little surprised. Female dukes were rare in the Holy Dynasty. As far as he knew, there were only three active ones today. The woman in front of him was so young. Could it be the legendary Duchess Elena?
Elena looked at Ferguson at this time and said with a friendly smile: "I have heard of the name of the master a long time ago. I am honored to meet you today. The purpose of coming to the Magic Academy this time is very simple, that is, Her Royal Highness the Princess needs to create a
It's very special equipment. We once approached the Alchemy Guild, but they couldn't do anything about it, so we had to come to the Magic Academy."
As soon as Ferguson heard Elena's words, he knew which duchess was in front of him. He thought for a while and said, "What kind of magic equipment does the Duke need?"
Elena pondered for a moment: "Master, you must have heard of the Dome of Warcraft. Now the Warcraft there has broken through several lines of defense, and is not far from the last chasm of Warcraft. Her Royal Highness's territory is very close to the Dome of Warcraft, and it is always there.
Pay attention to the situation here. According to the latest news, there is a holy beast in the Warcraft Cairn. Once it attacks the Warcraft Cairn, the army guarding the Warcraft Cairn will be under too much pressure and will not be able to hold it for long."
"Don't you need a sacred weapon?"
Ferguson was surprised. The only way to fight against the holy beasts was the holy weapon. It was said that their Alchemy Academy had just obtained a holy mirror. Although it was not used for attack, it was only used to create a large space. At that time, the holy mirror knew a space that even the great magister could not easily shake.
, it is not a problem to use it to tie up the Grand Mage and Grandmaster-level experts. But it is definitely not possible to face the holy beast. After all, the mirror itself is not made for combat. Of course, Xiao Zhan can make a holy mirror, so he has to make one
A sacred weapon with offensive power shouldn't be too difficult.
It's just that Ferguson was very surprised. He didn't know if Elena came to the door because he knew that he and his family had a holy master in the Alchemy Academy. Now the whole Magic Academy is covering this matter up very tightly. Once the outside world knows, God knows if anyone will fight.
The idea of their Holy Master. The current strategy of the Magic School is to make Xiao Zhan develop feelings for this place. No matter who comes in the future, there will be no way to snatch the Holy Master away, so at this stage, their Magic School wants to make a fortune silently.
Thinking of this, Ferguson couldn't help but look at the other two great magisters in the room. What reassured him was that this matter had not been exposed.
"It would be best if there is a holy weapon, but without a holy master, it is impossible to create a holy weapon. We just want to invite the best alchemists from the Magic Academy to go to Lane County to discuss how to create equipment with other top masters.
.”
"That's it."
Ferguson thought about it. He naturally didn't want Xiao Zhan to go to that Lane County and never come back if he was seduced by someone. But if he just sent an ordinary alchemist there, it seemed to be disrespectful to the princess.
, it will not do them any good if the news spreads in the future.
"Master, what's the matter with you?"
Elena's eyes were full of expectation, as if she was very much expecting Ferguson to surprise her.
Ferguson coughed lightly and said: "I need to discuss this matter with the other alchemists in the Alchemy Institute. I will give the Duke a reply soon on how to do it."
"Then please leave it to the master."
What can Irina say? She hopes that the Law God College will pay enough attention to this matter, otherwise she will not come in person. Although the Alchemy Guild is stronger, the top alchemists in the Law God College will not be much worse.
