Chapter 35 What a good student!
"Hiss..." Lucian leaned back tactically, suddenly feeling that Carly's figure was a little strange.
It seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light, making it extremely dazzling.
After shaking his head vigorously, Lucian finally got rid of these strange thoughts in his mind, but when he looked at Carly, who seemed a little reserved at this time, his smile unconsciously became more kind.
You must know that for Lucian now, the reverence value is as precious as the magic stone, or even more precious.
After all, Lucian had gained some supplements after killing Apollo. At least he was no longer as tight on magic stones as before.
But after upgrading the system, Lucian now needs a large amount of reverence points to be put into the identification module of the system to accelerate his learning and progress in pharmacy.
From this perspective, Carly herself is Lucian's most valuable production resource, bar none.
Thinking of this, Lucian felt that he needed to do something, and then extract some respect points from Carly, the "little rich woman".
And coincidentally, there was the wizard's robe that he had just repaired. Originally, Lucian planned to keep it in his hands for a while, and then give it to Carly as a reward when she performed well. However, now for the sake of respect, Lucian flexibly exercised his principles.
"Here, this is for you." Lucian smiled and handed the wizard robe to Carly.
"Thank you, Tutor Lucian." Carly subconsciously stretched out her hands to take the wizard robe that Lucian handed over, but soon she noticed something unusual about this wizard robe.
"Teacher Lucian, this..." Carly felt that this wizard robe was really hot to her hands and hurriedly wanted to return it.
She knew that Lucian was a little tight on money. Even the wizard robe used by Teacher Lucian himself is just an ordinary piece of clothing, but this wizard robe is obviously a precious witchcraft tool.
"It's not of much use to me." Lucian smiled and handed the wizard robe to Carly, with encouragement in his eyes.
"No, no! According to the principle of equal exchange..." Carly's voice was a little soft, and her head was buzzing.
In her heart, Carly couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity: while other new bloods were still racking their brains to protect their due interests and fighting wits and courage with their mentors and some senior brothers and sisters. On his side, he was racking his brains to think about what he should repay in order to be worthy of mentor Lucian's unilateral contribution.
She was really embarrassed!
After all, since she just entered the academy, Lucian can be said to have led her step by step on the wizarding path. There is nothing she can do to help her mentor Lucian...
Not to mention that Teacher Lucian has invested in her many times. Even the alchemy armor she is wearing now is still a magic stone paid for by Teacher Lucian.
Although Teacher Lucian had originally said that she would have to pay back the magic stones for the light armor herself. But until now, Tutor Lucian has never urged him to return the magic stone.
Isn't this equivalent to a gift in disguise?
Carly bit her lip gently, looked at the wizard robe in her hand, her eyes gradually became firm.
"I...I can't have it!" Carly took a step back, mustered up her courage, raised her head, and looked at Lucian.
If she accepted it, she would really feel a little uneasy.
Lucian looked at the stubborn Carly and tapped his fingers on the table subconsciously.
Carly noticed the small movements of Lucian's fingers, and she couldn't help but lower her head, feeling uneasy. After all, the matter itself of a student disobeying his instructor is very serious.
[Your student Carly is in awe of you, reverence value +5]
"Okay, then let's follow the rules of equal exchange between wizards." Lucian looked at Carly, who was looking anxious at this time, and said after thinking for a while.
"I am going to try pharmacy during this period, so you will first be my experimental assistant and help me with odd jobs. Although it is still a bit reluctant for you to handle some materials now, but it is like cleaning test tubes and tidying up the laboratory. I'll leave the chores to you. After you solidify a few more spiritual runes and reach the standard of strength, I will gradually teach you about potion science. However, by then, you will also have to be responsible for some matters concerning the pharmacist apprentice. Get up."
"Yes!" When Carly heard Lucian's arrangement, she couldn't help but raise her head, her eyes were even crooked, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face.
[Your student Carly respects you, her reverence value +10]
Lucian couldn't help but feel speechless when he looked at Carly who was smiling innocently.
Other wizard students would never take the initiative without being told by their instructors, but why did Carly take the initiative when it came to her? This made the reward he mentioned later seem insignificant.
Well, he even "rewarded" himself with 10 points of reverence.
Lucian knocked on the table slightly to attract Carly's attention, and then he spoke.
"It takes about four hours a day, during which I will also teach you about potions, so the reward won't be too high...just two magic stones a week. In this way, it can be regarded as an equal exchange."
Carly blinked. These days, she has been communicating with other new bloods a lot, so Carly is also very clear about the situation of other new bloods.
To learn the basics of pharmacy from other wizards, you need to pay at least twenty magic stones as tuition. Instructor Lucian said he was an experimental assistant, but in fact he was allowed to study pharmacy with him; other wizard apprentices helped the instructor with chores, which was what they should do. But when he arrived at Tutor Lucian's place, he seriously talked to him about "equivalent exchange"?
Carly felt that the word equivalent exchange was being used badly in Tutor Lucian’s place.
"I, I don't use magic stones." After Carly made sure that Teacher Lucian was not angry, she spoke carefully, trying to safeguard Lucian's interests.
"Exchange of equal value!" Lucian made a serious face and pretended to hit Carly on the head with his finger.
"Then...a magic stone...one magic stone is enough, no, no higher!" Carly looked at Lucian and weakly stretched out a finger.
She really felt that she was not worth the price. Although she was very touched by the help given to her by her mentor Lucian, Carly said that she also had principles!
[Your student Carly respects you, her reverence value +50]
Just when Carly tried to bargain in reverse, Lucian received a prompt from the system.
Lucian:! ! !
After the shock, Lucian looked at Carly, his eyes extremely soft.
What a great student!
