Chapter 29: assistant

　　The first-year course does not require apprentices to attend every time, and there is no such thing as naming. As long as you have no problems and are sure to pass the year-end retirement assessment, it doesn’t matter if you never come.
　　 Adam did just that, except for the first round of courses, he never attended again.
　　Pharmacy knowledge is to let the apprentices understand the nature of various plants and formulate highly toxic poisons. Yes, it is poison. Pharmacy knowledge does not teach treatment but only teaches killing. However, there is also an interesting side. Through understanding of plants, you can make various seasonings, which are very useful for magic cooking.
　　 The current teaching of alchemy knowledge is close to material science and metallurgy. Obviously, the core content is not taught. The metal is made strong, and the method of depicting runes in it is nothing but a thing.
　　 Physical training knowledge teaches apprentices who have the qualifications of a physical training mage to practice magic into the body. It is an optional course and is not included in the final assessment. However, the body refining instructor is a formal mage and looks...very curious. It doesn't look like a human at all. Adam guessed that the more advanced content should include blood and DNA research.
Adam, who understood the assessment criteria, never appeared in the classroom again. Except for a thunderous breakfast every day, he spent the rest of the time in the library~EbookFREE.me~ is very expensive, knowledge is very expensive, this is Adam's most intuitive Feel. The reading of each book requires a different amount of energy stones, and the reading time is stipulated. Repeated reading requires repeated payment. Fortunately, Adam has a computer-level memory. Not forgetting is basically a pediatrics. He can even recite a good one. Place.
　　 The library is hierarchical, and new apprentices can only read the first level of content, and the higher-level content can’t be read if they have money.
　　 But there are countless books even on the first floor. One day after Adam was addicted to reading and not counting his wealth, he suddenly realized that his balance was insufficient.
There are quite a few old bookworms in the library. These senior apprentices are not as shallow as those of Adam’s same period. After initially surprised by Adam’s reading speed, they discovered that Adam has terrible memory and comprehension ability. With the most elementary mental power qualifications, coupled with this kind of talent, even if they are not sure whether Adam can become a mage, at least it is no problem to become a senior apprentice like them. So they agree that Adam has the qualification to have an equal dialogue with them.
　　 Moreover, this kind of talent is easy to gain the favor of formal mages, and to become their experimental assistants, at a low level, it can already be considered 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 tutor for apprentices. Specializing in the production of potent poisons, he said that in the last tower war, he used his own poison to destroy all six high-level apprentices.
　　 "Botany bookshelf, third floor, sixth column." Adam casually reported the location, still staring blankly at the book he couldn't read, "The First Change of Fireball Rune Set".
"Oh, thank you." Elliott thanked him and left. They were used to asking Adam if they couldn't find the book they needed. Adam never let them down, but before Adam read the book without looking up. This time he found Adam in a daze?
　　 "What are you? There are no energy stones?" Eliot asked narrowly when he approached Adam.
　　 Adam put the book back on the shelf, opened the distance from Elliott indifferently, and said, "Yes. Please stay away from me, Mr. Elliott."
　　Very poisonous creatures are obviously not welcome by ordinary creatures. Although everyone does not reject him, they are not willing to get too close. Adam still remembers the bad hormones that he secreted sharply in his body after meeting Eliot for the first time.
　　Elliott curled his mouth, Yiyan stopped, complaining in his mouth: "I said that my own poison has an antidote, and it won't hurt you."
　　 Adam was unmoved: "But that was not a pleasant experience."
"Okay, okay, you superficial people, you have no way to appreciate the beauty of physical changes." Elliott muttered and said, "Adam, I have a way to make you an energy stone. Do you want to listen? ?"
"of course."
Elliott said in a bewildered voice: "I lack an assistant in my laboratory to record experimental data for me. The previous idiot was fired by me. With Adam, your memory is absolutely competent for this job, how about it, do you want to come? help me?"
　　 Adam suddenly remembered James’ previous invitation. Because it was not very important, it was not added to the memo. It was the next rune knowledge course...
　　 "Don't worry, I will never use you as a test product. That is not allowed by the college. It just helps me record the data. And the pharmacy exam can be passed for you directly." Seeing Adam did not speak, Eliot induced again.
　　It would be nice to be an assistant in the laboratory, but the poison laboratory is obviously not a good choice. Adam thought of this and said to Eliot, "Mr. Eliot, do you know Mr. James?"
　　 "Just call me Eliot, James? Of course I know, he should be your group of meditation tutors, right?"
　　 "Well, yes, he invited me to be an assistant in his laboratory on the first day."
　　Elliott was clear: "So, he hasn't given up on it yet?"
　　 Adam asked suspiciously: "Is the experiment assistant hard to find?"
　　 "Which? It depends on the situation. The labs of the official mages never lack assistants, and the apprentices are worse, but James's Meditation Lab is an exception."
　　 "Why is he an exception?"
　　Elliott said: "You should have heard his knowledge of the wizard's armor? You think it makes sense, right?"
"Ok."
"But in fact, the wizard's armor is not so important. Well, I can't say that, it should be said that the apprenticeship is not the most critical. The wizard's armor is adjustable, and this adjustment can be done at any level, James's Therefore, he was obsessed with studying meditation at the apprenticeship stage. It was only because of his lack of aptitude. At the beginning, he barely reached the spiritual power of a unit, without any soul inclination, and the elemental affinity was very low. So he wanted to promote to the official level through pure spiritual power Master."
Elliott went on to say: "Before the Tower War, a few people who were in the same situation as him experimented with him, but unfortunately, those people died. The apprentices who survived did not agree with him very much. What can be done in the exquisite? Anyway, in the apprenticeship stage, our life span is limited."
The matter of life span, Adam learned from the exchanges with senior apprentices, because the energy level of ether and magic is too high, flesh and blood and fragile souls to carry and use them need to bear a great price, although there is spirit The force neutralizes, but it also greatly reduces the life span of the apprentice. Generally speaking, if there is no special medicine to extend their life, the apprentice will not live for a hundred years.
Eliot concluded: "So, we all think he is wasting time. The official mages in the academy are not very supportive of him, but because his research can slightly improve the efficiency of meditation, he did not cut his project. Drop."
　　 "That's it." Adam was thoughtful, and Eliot made sense, but Adam felt that James' research was not wrong. At least, he agreed with the statement that he could get through the weak stage more easily.
Eliot saw Adam not speaking, and persuaded: "Adam, you don't need to study how to improve the efficiency of meditation thinking based on your qualifications. You must know that in the apprenticeship stage, we must first ensure that we are promoted in a limited life. If you are interested, you will have a lot of time to do it after you become an official mage."
Elliott’s advice was mostly sincere and sincere except for wanting to hire Adam. Adam thanked him earnestly and said:
I am very interested in his research direction. I need to learn more about it. Thank you for telling me this. Eliot."
Eliot sighed helplessly, waved his hand and said, "Well, it's up to you, my laboratory will always welcome you." He has a helpless reason, if James' laboratory is because there is no development prospects. It's bleak, so his experiment is not popular because it is unpopular ~ EbookFREE.me~ Being with those terrifying poisonous plants and poisonous creatures every day is definitely not a good experience.
　　 Adam met Kristall on his way out of the library.
　　 Kristel is very distressed. She is purely qi (wind) elemental affinity. Among the three magic rune groups left by Mage Black, apart from 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 on board, and her wisdom displayed in the desperate situation can't be used. She had to look at the poor balance in the identity token, and wanted to find two kinds of air magic in the library. Learn.
　　 It was also the first time she saw Adam in a few days. Because of the previous incident, she didn't know how to talk to Adam.
　　 "Adam, you... hello." Kristel stammered.
　　 Adam stood on the side of the road and answered calmly: "Hello."
　　 Kristall plucked up the courage and said, "Adam, Adam, why haven't you been to class lately? Are you really abandoning yourself?"
　　Because of being isolated? She didn't say this sentence.
　　 Adam looked at her strangely, wondering why she said so suddenly, it seems that the relationship between herself and her has not reached this point, right? Human logic is really strange.
　　Thinking that despite thinking this way, Adam replied: "No, it's too simple." After speaking, he ignored her and walked straight towards James' laboratory.
　　Krystal was left messy in the wind, "Too simple? This kind of reason...it is simply..."
　　 After a while, she put away her mind and walked toward the library. At this time, she felt that those companions who chewed their tongues behind their backs were too ridiculous. It turned out that in Adam's mind, he and them were not the same kind of people.
