Lady Maria left in the early morning of the seventeenth day. If a messenger hadn't come from the royal capital urging her to go back, she might have stayed for a while longer.
Claude worked with her for seventeen days as a chef, oh, no, as a test assistant. In addition to completing seven magic books and thirty-five blank magic scrolls, he mainly learned how to operate the potion laboratory.
He used the medicinal materials processing machines in the store and learned basic pharmacy knowledge under the guidance of Mrs. Maria.
Because he was grateful for Madam Maria's selfless teachings, Claude would think hard and carefully prepare a big meal every night to express his gratitude. This is also the reason why Madam Maria postponed her return to the royal capital and stayed at this forest farm.
.She has stated more than once that although she was surprised by Claude's talent in magic and pharmacy, she still felt that Claude's best development prospect should be to become a chef...
However, during this period of time, Claude also learned a lot about Madam Maria. In fact, this lady is a foodie. Well, it may be a bit rude to say so, but Madam Maria is a food lover and food connoisseur. Maybe
It was because she was adopted by Sterling IX as a child and lived a privileged life in the palace that she developed the habit of paying attention to food. Although she could eat ordinary food, it was only to satisfy her hunger and for convenience during the journey.
This time she hurried to Bailu Town to buy the specimen of the Niros crocodile, without bringing a large number of servants and her own guards. She was mainly worried that her high-profile trip would attract the attention of interested people, and even let her buy the crocodile.
There are twists and turns in the specimen matter.
Some time ago at the forestry farm, her butler Lutheran took a carriage to the old tavern in the town to buy all her food. Although the chef of the old tavern, Pied, was good at cooking, the dishes he was good at were not the same as those in the royal capital.
Famous restaurants are not much different. For Madam Maria, they are dispensable. She has eaten enough of these dishes in the royal capital.
So when I visited Claude's house that day, Mr. Morsan's words that Claude could cook some delicious dishes that were not available outside impressed Madam Maria, and she stayed to dine regardless of the difference in status. Yes.
For a foodie, oh, gourmet, tasting dishes that you have never eaten before is the most important and happiest moment. What is your identity? Can that thing be eaten...
Claude did not disappoint Lady Maria. The dishes he cooked that night were indeed things she had never heard or seen in the capital, especially the concept of stir-frying, which was unheard of in this world. Steaming, boiling,
Roasting, frying, mixing and searing are the six cooking methods that chefs in this world must know, except stir-frying.
Claude naturally pushed all of this to a notebook he had read. Madam Maria thought it was the record in the mage diary that Claude had obtained. This might be the cooking methods and dishes favored by those magicians back then.
Mr. Morsan thought this might be where his second son read the chef's notes. He had already bought a cookbook last time, so there was no problem if he liked cooking.
In fact, the dishes Claude cooks are home-cooked dishes that he would have cooked in his previous life. When cooking for his mother, younger brothers and sisters at home, he also has to consider the issues of waste and ingredient substitutes. Because for Mr. Morsan, cooking is
The delicious food is worthy of praise, but too much waste is intolerable. The money at home does not come from the strong wind...
At the forest farm, Claude didn't need to think about what was wasted or not. Madam Maria loved food. She didn't care how much she paid for a plate of food. There were even some condiments that Claude couldn't find, but he could tell her about it.
She could tell her the name or what kind of substitute would be better, and then ask the housekeeper Lutheran to buy it.
Claude believes that Madam Maria is a foodie first and foremost. She likes to talk to Claude after tasting a dish, and writes down the recipe to prepare it and bring it back to the capital for her personal chef to learn how to make it.
During this period, the two often quarreled, because the recipes Claude reported often added a little wine and a little salt, so Mrs. Maria struggled for a long time, insisting that Claude make it clear, what exactly did this and a little mean?
How much to put...
Madam Maria's second identity is a pharmacist. Every time she gives guidance on pharmacy and experiments to Claude, she becomes very serious, which is completely different from her usual friendly and friendly appearance. Her favorite admonition to Claude is
That is to say, there is no room for carelessness and negligence in learning about pharmaceutical knowledge and conducting pharmaceutical experiments, because any refined and synthesized pharmaceutical may be related to an innocent life...
Registered magician is Mrs. Maria's third identity, and she doesn't value it. She admitted to Claude that when she was young, she wanted to learn it because she found it fun when she saw those registered magicians casting spells. As a result, a test found that she
He really had a talent for magic, so he started learning meditation and spells, and he practiced it until he became a second-level alchemist.
In fact, Claude didn't know what kind of mage Madam Maria was. Most of the basic spells she imprinted were harmless. The only combat spell was the first-level lightning shackles, which were obtained from the palace's inner treasury.
Found it, Sterling X was worried that his little sister would not be able to defend herself, so he gave it to her.
For Madam Maria, magic just makes her life a little more convenient, just like she likes to put beads of light for lighting. In fact, it doesn't matter whether she has magic or not. Just like when she brought Claude
Just like when she was asked to help her with the crocodile specimen, it was Claude who did the work. All she had to do was move her mouth and point, which was much better than using a bamboo knife to scrape off the muscles on the skin.
Lady Maria's last identity was that of a noble lady, which was also the point she ignored the most. Just as she became a dedicated pharmacist after entering the pharmaceutical laboratory, she soon forgot her noble identity. Mo.
Mr. Ersan's statement that she often stayed in the pharmaceutical laboratory for several days doing research was not a lie. If Claude hadn't reminded her, Mrs. Maria would have indeed lost track of time and forgotten things while doing experiments or research.
Have a meal.
Claude was very fortunate that the first mage he met was Madam Maria, and he got a lot of common sense about magic and the current status of magic in the kingdom from her. The most important thing is that Madam Maria is not obsessed with magic.
There was no covetousness in the five basic spells that Claude learned. At the same time, she also carefully taught Claude how to learn basic potions and how to make basic potions and process medicinal materials...
From her, Claude has learned how to make magic books and magic scrolls, and how to make the skin of a Niros crocodile into standard rune paper. The only regret is that because of Mrs. Maria's lack of interest in magic,
, so she could only give Claude a general introduction to the situation of magicians in the kingdom and various countries on the continent. Just like the underground magic market she mentioned, she knew about it and had been there, but she didn't feel much about it.
I am interested, but sometimes I go shopping when I lack materials when doing pharmaceutical experiments.
However, based on what Madam Maria said, Claude roughly understood his situation. As long as no one discovered that he was a magician, he should be fine and live a safe life. He had to be careful not to reveal himself when meeting other magicians.
The spells and basic situation. Madam Maria said that the wild mages are not peaceful and friendly. It is not uncommon in the royal capital to kill each other for coveting each other's spells and magic materials, resources, and wealth.
Lady Maria gave Claude a completed magic book and five magic scrolls. Such a magic book can be sold in the royal capital for fifty gold crowns, and a blank magic scroll can be sold for five gold crowns.
.So although Lady Maria bought the specimen of the Niros crocodile from Sir Fox at a high price of forty-five gold crowns, the seven magic books and thirty-five blank magic scrolls produced were enough for her to go back.
Earned a lot of money.
Originally, Madam Maria planned to stay alone in the pharmacy laboratory of the forest farm for half a month to make the crocodile specimen into rune skin before returning to the capital, but now with Claude's help, she has much more time.
Now, not only are the magic books and magic scrolls finished, but Lady Maria still has enough time to guide Claude in learning and conducting potion experiments.
Under the guidance of Lady Maria, Claude learned how to engrave spells in magic books and seal magic in magic scrolls. Lady Maria also sealed her only combat spell, Lightning Shackles, in a magic scroll.
It was given to Claude for self-defense.
In fact, the power of the first-level combat spell Lightning Shackles is not very great, and the distance is only about ten meters. The magical effect cast by this spell is to strike the person with a bolt of lightning, and the damage is equivalent to being hit by a stick.
The consequences would be minor injuries at most, but the point is that this spell can paralyze people for about ten seconds.
Madam Maria regretted that this was a first-level spell, and Claude could only learn it when he was promoted to a second-level rune mage. She gave Claude the magic scroll of this spell for self-defense, because she believed that casting this spell
The lightning shackles can paralyze the enemy for about ten seconds, which is enough for Claude to escape, but he did not expect that the ten seconds that can paralyze the enemy and make him unable to move can completely allow Claude to cause fatal damage and threaten the enemy...
Unknowingly, Claude regarded Mrs. Maria as the head teacher who devoted her whole life to teaching students in high school in his previous life. He studied hard under the guidance of Mrs. Maria, eagerly absorbing all the new knowledge in this other world.
At the same time, he also worked hard to cook the delicacies from his previous life for Mrs. Maria, and felt sincerely happy for her appreciation.
But Claude felt that this wonderful study time had to be interrupted when a messenger arrived from the royal capital. The letter said that the second prince's princess was more than eight months pregnant, and he urgently hoped that Mrs. Maria would return to the royal capital as soon as possible to give birth to the princess again.
To undergo an examination in anticipation of labor, Mrs. Maria had no choice but to end her leisure time at the forest farm, pack up her gifts, and prepare to embark on her journey early the next morning.
The night before leaving, Mrs. Maria called Claude and entrusted Claude with the care of the forest farm in front of the foresters, Mr. Xioli and his wife, and gave Claude the key so that he could use the medicine to test.
All utensils and materials in the room have been prepared.
Claude understood that Madam Maria was doing this for her own good. She didn't have to worry about others discovering her identity as a magician in the forest farm, which was much more free than practicing meditation in the small attic of a big red brick house.
Another reason is that Mrs. Maria does not want Claude to interrupt his study of pharmacy. He has already shown a very good talent as a pharmacist. The only difference between him and a junior pharmacist is that he has too little practice, whether it is refining synthetic medicine or refining synthetic medicine.
Processing medicinal materials requires the accumulation of time and one's own perception.
Madame Marie gave Claude a note with an address on it.
She said that although the three southwest counties do not have underground magic markets, they do have underground purchasing points, which are stores that collect magic materials and resources in this area. If Claude needs to buy something in the future, he can go to this address.
, this is an underground purchasing point of the underground magic market in Bailu Town. It is said that it has only been established for about a year. Although Mrs. Maria knows about it, she has never been there.
Claude collected the note and gave an envelope to Madam Maria. This was his parting gift to Madam Maria.
There are five pieces of paper in the envelope, four of which are painted with the magical talisman structures of magic hands, precise control, decomposition and fusion. The other one has a few words written on it, which means that if Mrs. Maria learns this
If you have four rune spells, you can purchase magic materials to set up an alchemical magic array.
Although Madam is not keen on magic, there is no denying the role that these four spells can play in the alchemical magic talisman. Madam can completely use the spells to conduct potion tests in the alchemical magic talisman and then deduce the test steps and effects.
Perfect the formula of the potion and the processing of medicinal materials, so Claude does not want Mrs. Maria to refuse his parting gift.
Mrs. Maria just sighed after reading the letter, but she still put it away.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Maria and her housekeeper Lutheran got into the carriage and left the forest farm. Claude stood at the door of the forest farm and watched the carriage go farther and farther on the mountain road until it disappeared.
