Chapter 51 Return to the Academy
"Brand! Long time no see! How was your vacation?"
Professor Morian's alchemy laboratory.
Brand met here a partner he had not seen for a long time: Professor Morian, and his apprentice, senior Anna.
“Long time no see! Professor Morian, and senior Anna, thank you for your concern, I had a good holiday this holiday!”
"It's not bad? I don't think you're doing well with your reluctance. Your family will definitely not treat you well when you go home this time. You nobles are troublesome, and you have to fight for any power."
Professor Morian is still the same, always believing that aristocratic families are full of power disputes like royal courts and harems.
But this time he was right in some respects. Brand was indeed not having a good time during this holiday.
It is simply unimaginable that he, who has always been lazy and extravagant, would act like a "book king"!
It’s vacation and I’m still studying those troublesome mage knowledge!
"Okay! I won't talk to you about the troubles at home."
Although Professor Morian mentioned the troubles, Brand was generally in a good mood at this time:< br>
“These are some berries from the southern provinces that I brought. They taste pretty good. The other ones are coffee beans. I don’t know how many you have left here, Professor Morian, so I brought some more.”
Speaking of coffee beans, Professor Morian suddenly put his hands behind his back and said proudly:
"Brand, after this period of research, a new formula of refreshing potion has been researched. Milestone results have been achieved, and my research has now turned to how to reduce pharmaceutical costs. ”
Hearing what Professor Morian said, Brand was confused at first, and then gradually realized that this should mean:
"The research and development was successful?"
Professor Morian started from his own He took out two bottles of light brown potion from his magic pocket, handed them to Brand and nodded with a smile:
“This is made using a new formula after using coffee beans to replace the expensive magic plants. The cost of the refreshing potion is only three-quarters of the original awakening potion.”
Hearing this, Brand was a little excited: “At three-quarters, this saves several coins per bottle! Magic gold coins.”
"That's right!"
Professor Morian nodded:
"It also has the possibility of further optimization, and I already have a clear direction. I found that coffee beans have a magical effect on There is a strong repulsion, which significantly increases the cost of the new version of the awakening potion.
My next research direction is to cultivate the magic-friendly varieties of coffee beans, which involves the issue of the contract signed before. Yes, according to the original contract, the coffee beans are provided by Brand, and I cannot cultivate them here. However, considering that you may not have cultivators in the relevant fields, I will prepare them here. Let’s talk about the share of the contract with you again.”
“Let’s talk about the share of the contract!”
When talking about this topic, Brand's face became serious.
It just so happened that he was also planning to discuss future cooperation issues with Professor Morian.
Brand said with a serious face:
"If the benefits brought are enough, I will not be stingy about modifying the previous profit sharing."
Published Professor Morian panicked when Rand was negotiating in such a serious manner. He quickly stood up, leaving his seat to Anna, and then said:
"Next, Anna will negotiate cooperation matters on my behalf. I have to take one step in advance!"
At the end of the sentence, Professor Morian almost ran out of the reception room. It could be seen that "He is indeed in a hurry. ".
After waving goodbye to Professor Morian, Brand turned his attention to the somewhat uneasy Anna's senior sister in front of him.
According to Brand’s original plan, the cultivation of the raw material coffee beans will be fully handed over to Mr. Holland, and Brand is also ready to transfer the relevant interests to the Holland family. .
But after this trip home, Brand found that the space in the Holland family's medicine garden was becoming saturated.
If you want to cultivate a large number of coffee bean plants, you must open a new medicinal garden or occupy a large amount of space for the original medicinal plants.
Under the pressure of the upcoming Pioneering War two years later, the Holland family has begun secretly preparing for the war.
This is really not the right time to start another branch.
After many considerations, Brand had actually already turned his attention to Professor Morian. Brand didn't expect that people would also be eyeing this area of interest.
"Then let's talk about the contract. Since Professor Morian entrusted my senior sister to negotiate with me, I think my senior sister also knows the details of the previous contract!"
......
After After some "friendly negotiations," Brand left Professor Morian's alchemy laboratory with a new contract.
Next, Brand is going to visit his teacher Celine.
However, meeting your teacher cannot be as casual as meeting Professor Morian.
Facing his beautiful and generous teacher, Brand decided to express enough respect.
You have to find a suitable time, dress up beautifully, and finally deliver the perfectly completed holiday homework!
Oh yes!
There is also a make-up apprenticeship ceremony!
"Brand!"
After opening the magic lock of the studio and welcoming in her disciple whom she hadn't seen for more than two months, Celine's heart was filled with joy.
I don’t know if it’s her misunderstanding. I haven’t seen him for more than two months, but I always feel that my disciple seems to have become a lot more handsome!
At this time, Brand looked at his teacher Celine with a "surprised" expression, and then sighed:
"Teacher Celine! I haven't seen you for many days and you are still the same So radiant! Your apprentice has captured my heart!"
When Brand said this, Celine felt her face turn red quickly under her veil.
Although she was very happy to be praised by Brand, she still tried hard to show a frown.
Celine is quite familiar with some of Brand's strange "characteristics".
There must be something going on behind the hard praise.
Thinking about it, Celine started to cross her arms and asked with a serious face: "How is the holiday homework I assigned?"
What surprised Celine was that while listening, After her inquiry, Brand quickly handed in a perfect assignment.
Looking at the traditional runes numbered 1 to 3 in her hand, Celine's eyes were full of surprise.
“You actually finished it?”
“Why do you say it as if I won’t finish it!”
Seeing Celine so surprised, Brand There was some dissatisfaction in my heart.
But I heard Celine analyze:
"These three runes cost you a lot of thought, right? According to your character that hates learning, if there is no external force to force you, you will not be so diligent."
At this time, Celine's eyes flashed with wisdom. Ray:
“So during the holidays, something must have happened at your home, right?”
Although it is a question, Brand always feels that this is an affirmation sentence.
Brand sighed inwardly. Although they had not been together for a short time, Celine undoubtedly knew him very well.
At the moment, Brand had no intention of hiding anything.
He told his teacher all about the Holander family's marriage plan, the "war letter" to Mr. Holander, and the new version of the awakening potion.
Brand finally sighed helplessly: "All kinds of things piled up all at once, and I was really at a loss as to what to do!"
