Mage Adam Chapter 29: Assistant

The first-year course does not require apprentices to attend every time, and there is no such thing as a roll call. As long as you have no problems and are confident that you will pass the year-end clearance assessment, it doesn't matter if you don't come.

That's what Adam did, and he never attended any more than the first round of classes.

Pharmacy knowledge is to let apprentices know the properties of various plants, and to prepare highly poisonous poisons. Yes, it is poison. Pharmacy knowledge does not teach treatment but only killing. However, there is also an interesting side. By understanding plants, various seasonings can be prepared, which is very useful for magic cooking.

The current teaching of alchemy knowledge is close to materials science and metallurgy. Obviously, it does not teach the most core content. The metal is sturdy, and it is just ordinary things if you don't know how to draw runes in it.

Body training knowledge is to teach apprentices with qualifications of body refining masters to practice magic into their bodies. It is an elective course and is not included in the final assessment. However, the training instructor is an official mage, looks... very curious, and doesn't look like a human at all. Adam guessed that the more advanced content should include the study of blood and DNA.

Adam, who understood the assessment criteria, never appeared in the classroom again. Every day except for an unshakable breakfast, he spent the rest of the time in the library~IndoMTL.com~ is very expensive, knowledge is very expensive, this is Adam's most intuitive feeling. The reading of each book requires the payment of a number of power stones, and the reading time is stipulated. Repeated reading requires repeated payment. Fortunately, Adam has a computer-level memory, and it is a pediatrician to remember it. He can even skip words and recite it well. place.

The library is divided into strata. New apprentices can only read the content of the first level, and the content of the higher level cannot be read even if they have money.

But there are too many books even in just one layer. One day after Adam indulged in reading and not counting his wealth, he suddenly realized that the balance was insufficient.

There are quite a few old bookworms in the library. These senior apprentices are not as shallow as Adam's contemporaries. After initially amazed at Adam's reading speed, they found that Adam has a terrible memory and comprehension ability. , With the most basic spiritual qualifications, coupled with such a talent, even if they can't be sure whether Adam can become a mage, at least it is no problem to become a senior apprentice like them. So they agreed that Adam was entitled to an equal dialogue with them.

Moreover, such a talent can easily be favored by formal mages and become their experimental assistants. At a low level, it can already be regarded as promising.

"Adam, do you remember where the book "Elementary Enchanted Plants and Their Properties" is placed?" Eliot Pierce is an old bookworm and a pharmacy instructor for the apprentices. Specializing in the production of potent poisons, according to himself, in the last tower war, he used the poisons he made to destroy all six high-level apprentices.

"Botany bookshelf, third floor, sixth column." Adam casually reported the location, still looking blankly at the book in his hand that he couldn't read, "The First Level Changes to the Fireball Rune Group" .

"Oh, thank you." Elliott thanked him before leaving. They were used to asking Adam when they couldn't find the books they needed. Adam never let them down, but Adam never looked up before. reading, this time he found Adam in a daze?

"What are you? No power stones?" Elliot asked narrowly, leaning over to Adam.

Adam put the book back on the shelf, distanced himself from Elliott indifferently, and said, "That's right. Please stay away from me, Mr. Elliott."

The highly poisonous creature is obviously not welcomed by ordinary creatures. Although everyone does not reject him, they are not willing to get too close. Adam still remembers the bad hormones secreted in his body after the first encounter with Elliot.

Elliot pouted, stopped according to the words, and complained: "I said, my own poison has an antidote, and it won't hurt you."

Adam was unmoved: "But it wasn't a pleasant experience."

"Okay, okay, you shallow people, you can't appreciate the beauty of physical changes." Elliot muttered and said, "Adam, I have a way for you to earn power stones. Don't listen?"

"Of course."

Elliot said in a bewitching voice: "I lack an assistant in my laboratory to record experimental data for me. I was fired from the previous idiot. With Adam, your memory is absolutely competent for this job, how about it? Would you like to help me?"

Adam suddenly remembered the previous invitation from James, because it was not very important, so he did not add it to the memo, and it seemed to be the next rune knowledge course...

"Don't worry, I will never use you as a test product. That's not allowed by the academy. It's just to help me record the data. And the pharmacy exam can be passed directly for you." Elliot saw that Adam didn't speak, and then an induction.

It is good to be an assistant in the laboratory, but the poison laboratory is obviously not a good choice. Adam thought of this and said to Elliott: "Mr. Eliot, do you know Mr. James?"

"Just call me Elliott, James? Of course I know, he should be your group's meditation teacher, right?"

"Well, yes, he invited me to be an assistant in his lab on the first day."

Eliot understood: "So, he hasn't given up yet?"

Adam asked suspiciously: "Is it difficult to find experimental assistants?"

"Is this, it depends on the situation. The labs of formal mages never lack assistants, and the apprentices are worse, but James's meditation lab is an exception."

"Why is he an exception?"

Eliot said: "You should have heard his understanding of the armor of the mage? It makes sense, doesn't it?"

"Hmm."

"But in fact, the armor of the mage is not so important. Well, I can't say that, it should be said that it is not the most critical at the apprenticeship stage. The armor of the mage is adjustable, and this adjustment can be made at any level, Zhan. The reason why Mushi was obsessed with studying meditation in the apprenticeship stage was only because of his lack of qualifications. At first, he only barely reached the spiritual power of one unit, without any soul tendency, and the element affinity was also very low. Therefore, he wanted to use pure spiritual power. I will be able to become a full-fledged mage.”

Eliot continued: "Before the Tower War, there were a few people who were similar to him and tested with him, but unfortunately, those people died, and the surviving apprentices did not agree with his ideas very much. , what about the subtlety of meditation? Anyway, in the apprenticeship stage, our lifespan is limited.”

About lifespan, Adam learned from the communication with senior apprentices. Because the energy level of ether and magic power is too high, flesh and blood and fragile souls need to bear a great price to carry and use them. Although there is spiritual neutralization, it also greatly reduces the lifespan of the apprentices. Generally speaking, if there is no special medicine to prolong the lifespan, the apprentices will not live for a hundred years.

Eliot concluded: "So, we all thought he was wasting time, and the formal mages in the academy were not very supportive of him, but because his research could slightly improve the efficiency of meditation, he was not considered Items to be cut off."

"That's it." Adam was thoughtful, and Elliott was right, but Adam felt that James' research was not wrong, at least he agreed with the statement that it was easier to pass through the weak stage. .

Eliot saw that Adam didn't speak, and persuaded: "Adam, with your qualifications, you don't need to study how to improve the efficiency of meditation. You must know that in the apprenticeship stage, we must first ensure that we advance in the limited life. If you are interested in that kind of research, you have a lot of time to do it after you become a full-fledged mage."

Elliott's advice was mostly sincere, except that he wanted to hire Adam. Adam thanked him earnestly and said, "I am very interested in his research direction. I need to know more about it. Thank you for telling me. I do, Elliott."

Elliott sighed helplessly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you are welcome, my laboratory will always welcome you." He has a helpless reason, if James' laboratory is because there is no development The prospect is so bleak, then his experiment is because he is not popular and can't recruit people~IndoMTL.com~ Every day with those horrible poisonous plants and poisonous creatures is definitely not a good experience.

Adam meets Crystal on his way out of the library.

Krystal is very distressed. She is simply qi (wind) element affinity. Among the three magic rune groups left by Black Mage, except for the wind blade, she is very difficult to master. In addition, the pressure of the academy can't keep up with the life and death of the ship, and her wisdom displayed in the desperate situation can't be used. She can only look at the poor balance in the identity token and want to find two kinds of Qi magic in the library. study.

She also saw Adam for the first time in a few days. Because of the previous incident, she didn't know how to talk to Adam.

"Adam, you... hello." Krystal stammered.

Adam stood on the side of the road and replied calmly: "Hello."

Crystal took courage and said, "Adam, Adam, why haven't you been to class recently? Are you really giving up on yourself?"

Because of being isolated? She didn't say it.

Adam looked at her strangely. I don't know why she said this suddenly. Based on the relationship between him and her, it doesn't seem to have reached this point yet, right? Human logic is a strange thing.

Even though he thought so, Adam still replied: "No, it's too simple." After saying that, he ignored her and walked straight towards James' laboratory.

Leaving Krystal alone in the wind, "Too simple? This reason...it's just..."

After a long while, she put away her thoughts and walked towards the library. At this time, she felt that those companions who were talking behind their backs were too ridiculous. It turned out that in Adam's heart, he was not the same type of person as them at all.
