The moist air currents from the Endless Sea meet the cold winds blowing from the ice and snow tundra, and the imperial capital receives several heavy snowfalls every year.

Senior Vernon has been spending all of his time in the magic lab these days, except for his normal magic classes.

Alchemy is not to get the formula to refine the magic metal you need, alchemists also need a lot of experiments to gain valuable experience, fortunately what I need is a relatively cheap red copper solution, magic red copper ingots are very cheap in the magic market of the imperial capital, even if they fail, they can't waste a few dollars.

A week later, Noah rushed to the second floor of the library to tell me that Senior Vernon had mastered the refining method of red copper solution.

I went to the laboratory of the Royal Academy of Magic with Noah, and saw Senior Vernon, whose eyes were bloodshot, crouching in front of the test bench, pouring the red copper solution from the crucible into the glassware, he saw me and Noah push the door in, waved his fist at me excitedly and said, "Jiga, I have finally succeeded in refining a pot of magic solution." ”

The magic lab was full of magic red copper ingots on one side, the iron box on the other side was full of scrap copper, and there was a folding bed in the corner of the magic lab.

I walked over and stirred the cauldron with a silver spoon, and it was okay to be viscous, but there were small pieces of unmelted red copper mixed in.

"This solution has to be filtered a little bit. I scooped the residue out with a spoon and addressed Senior Vernon with my opinion.

Even though there were four exhaust fans working at the same time in the room, there was a strong smell of sulfur, spicy and pungent, and there was a slight stinging in the face.

Senior Vernon came to my side, used tweezers to pick out the red copper fragments in the solution, wiped off the red copper solution on it, observed it carefully, and said to me: "This problem is not difficult to solve, there is no suitable screen in the laboratory, tomorrow I will have someone go to the magic material trading hall to buy a few pieces back." However, it is unlikely that these red copper ingots will be completely melted for the time being, in addition to the purity of these magical red copper needs to be improved, these red copper ingots will also need to be made into egg-sized spheres, but I will work towards complete melting. ”

Noah wrapped a silk scarf around his face, approached Senior Vernon, and said to him happily, "I knew you could do it." "It's as if he was the one who succeeded in the experiment.

Senior Vernon also reached out and put his arm around Noah's shoulder, if it weren't for Noah's already Shirley Newman, I would have thought that there might be something unspeakable between the two of them. Senior Vernon said to Noah and me, "I'd like to try refining red copper solution with two crucibles at the same time to see if it's feasible. ”

I was also about to talk to Senior Vernon about magical copper, and that's when Noah suggested, "Hey, I'll ...... Now that we've succeeded, shouldn't we go out and celebrate?"

The door outside the magic lab was pushed open, and Shirley Newman peeked through the door and saw Noah inside, so she waved at him and motioned for her to wait.

It seems that it is impossible to stay in the lab, and since Senior Vernon has successfully taken the first step, the following things may be easier, so I said to Senior Vernon, "You have locked yourself in the laboratory for so many days, and it is time to go out and breathe." ”

As he spoke, Noah had already helped Senior Vernon take out a clean magic robe, and Senior Vernon also walked quickly to the corner and wiped his face with a towel, quickly changed into a clean magic robe, and followed us out of the magic laboratory.

There are a lot of magical students waiting for experimental classes in the corridor of the laboratory, and it seems that the laboratories of the Royal Academy of Magic are also very limited, and I don't know how Senior Vernon got such a magic laboratory.

We went down the stairs down the side of the hallway, and I asked Senior Vernon, "Hey, how is your relationship with that Miss Viana going?"

Senior Vernon spread out his hand and said calmly: "We haven't been in touch for about a week, don't you know what the nobles and celebrities here in the imperial capital want? If I have some family background, she may still marry me willingly, but she knows that I am from a civilian family, so she naturally hopes that I can join her family, which is also the most important condition for her to be willing to associate with me." ”

It seems that after that bar drink, Senior Vernon and Miss Viana haven't seen each other again.

"And what do you think?" I asked him.

Senior Vernon stopped and said to me, "Joining an aristocratic family may make me glorious for the rest of my life, but at the same time I will lose my most precious freedom, so I refused." ”

This kind of thinking is common among the magician nobles, many magicians hope to find a traditional educated and beautiful and gentle noble lady, but they do not want to be bound by the family behind the noble lady, those noble families who have lost their magic inheritance hope to absorb some magicians, so as to constantly improve the family bloodline, so both sides are unwilling to back down on the most basic conditions.

When we walked out of the lab building, Shirley Newman was chatting with a group of friends in the corridor below the lab building, when she saw Noah come out and hurriedly said goodbye to her friends.

The square in front of the main teaching building of the academy was covered with a thick layer of snow, and there were only a few passages along the Yong Road for people to walk, and along the way, I met some magical students of the Imperial Capital Gang, and when they passed by me, they were all vigilant and vigilant to guard me, and no one dared to speak in front of me.

Recently, in the Royal Academy of Magic, it is rare to see Diego, Ivan, and Jimmy, and these magic students of the Imperial Capital Gang are also much more low-key.

......

Our group did not take the magic caravan, and walked along the Yonglu through the west gate of the college to the food street.

Noah recommended us a restaurant on the street that specializes in Palestina-style grilled fish, and Shirley Newman took Noah's arm and the two of them walked in front.

The cold weather didn't stop the nearby foodies in the slightest, with crowds of pedestrians passing by and roadside restaurants crowded, all looking like business was doing well.

"Jiga. "Senior Vernon and I walked side by side.

"What?" I turned to look at him.

Senior Vernon rubbed his frozen hands and said to me, "Can you show me the red copper solution that the master has refined?" ”

He didn't mention it, and I almost forgot that I was going to give him some.

I smiled a little embarrassedly, but I didn't explain, I just said, "Oh, of course this is fine, but Noah is right, your body is already yellow, you should pay attention to rest!"

"What do you mean by yellow light?" asked Senior Vernon, a little surprised.

I patted my forehead, thinking that there were no traffic lights on the streets of the imperial capital, so I explained: "It's a metaphor, that is, you are currently in a sub-health state, I have seen in a biography that the era of Hextech was prevalent, the streets were full of horse-drawn carriages, and every intersection in the city was controlled by traffic signals, green signals meant they could pass, red signals meant immediate stops, yellow signals meant they were about to stop, and that's it." ”

Senior Vernon frowned, as if trying to understand what I was saying.

He said, "Are you talking about setting up a kind of traffic light at the intersection that restricts the passage of people?"

Noah, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and said to us, "I'm confused about what you're talking about, but one thing Jijia is right, you should take a break." ”

Senior Vernon looked at the pedestrians on the street, many of whom were magicians, and he suddenly changed his tone and said with a serious face, "Jiga, thank you. ”

"What do you say!" I asked him with a smile.

He crossed the fingers of his hands together, then raised it above his head and stretched his waist, slowed down and said to me: "I'm about to graduate, in fact, I haven't thought about what I'm going to do, I've thought about walking around with the adventure group, or going back to my hometown directly after graduation, and looking for a job in the junior magic academy over there, I also want to stay in the imperial capital, but you also know that the situation of water magicians is a little embarrassing, and many magic institutions are unwilling to accept water magicians." ”

Unexpectedly, what he said to me was still listened to by Noah.

"Haven't water magicians been quite popular lately?" Noah said to Senior Vernon as he pulled Shirley Newman around.

"Those lords hired us to take us to the plane wars. Senior Vernon said angrily.

Noah waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "What's so bad about participating in the plane war? You see Ji Jia, before graduating from the Royal Academy of Magic, the merits obtained from participating in the plane war have already promoted him to become a marquis, and in the future, maybe one day he may have his own private plane, maybe he has a large army of constructed knights, defeat the last Grand Duke of the Grimm Empire, and become the new duke." ”

Senior Vernon laughed and said: "Of course he has this condition, not only the commander of the North Wind Legion, Duchess Jingyue, looks at him differently, but he also married the princess of the South Wind Legion, as long as the two major armies of the North and South give him some support, it shouldn't be too difficult to become the new Duke of the Green Empire!"

Noah said to me thoughtfully, "That's right, Jijia, when you think you can try to challenge the last duke one day, you must inform me, Louis and I are the most solid support." ”

I think it's better not to say anything at this time, the plane war in the Green Empire has not been interrupted in recent years, and many dukes' private armies have almost been exhausted in the plane war, if it weren't for the plane war period, all the princes and nobles of the Green Empire need to be unanimous with the outside world, and some of the big lords who have retained their strong strength may have to launch a title battle against these fallen dukes.

Hearing that Noah had such a promise to me, Senior Vernon also complained unwillingly: "Hey, it's also a friend, why is the treatment so bad!"

Noah walked up to Senior Vernon, put his arm around his shoulders and asked him, "Senior Vernon, do you know how much it costs to form a 500-strong Constructed Knights?"

"Probably there must be tens of thousands of magic crystals!" Senior Vernon obviously didn't have any plans in this regard, so he casually said the number.

"Don't even think about it without 100,000 magic crystals!" Noah said to him with one hand outstretched, flipped it in front of Senior Vernon.

"Okay, that's what I didn't say!" Senior Vernon smacked his tongue.

Noah smiled and said, "When you have the ability to form a Constructed Knights, you will probably be able to compete for the title of Marquis." ”

Senior Vernon shook his head repeatedly: "I mean, it's actually pretty good to be a magician. ”

This time Noah chose a very high-end restaurant, this restaurant is at the north side of the food street, usually we rarely come to this kind of high-end restaurant, one reason is that it is far away from the Royal Academy of Magic, and the other is that Noah will take into account the feelings of Senior Vernon, but now it is different, Senior Vernon has a magic oven and monthly dividends, this income is difficult for even some small nobles in the imperial capital to achieve.

The money bag is bulging, and the taste of life naturally needs to be appropriately improved, and this time it is to celebrate Senior Vernon's success in refining the red copper solution, so Noah will come here to eat seafood and grilled fish.

But just as we were about to reach the door of the restaurant, we suddenly found Erica sitting on a bench on the street, the cold wind was blowing, her long hair was swaying in the wind under the magic cone hat, her face was already red from the cold, but she was still sitting quietly looking at the passers-by on the street, and her expression was indescribably lonely.

We stopped, and Vernon was looking at the various dishes in the window with great interest, and when he saw us stop, he also turned his head and saw Erica sitting alone on the street, and his expression instantly froze.

Noah sighed and stood aside with Shirley Newman in his arms.

I rubbed my nose, walked up, stood in front of Erica, greeted her with a smile, and said, "Long time no see." ”

Only then did she raise her head, and saw that there were still Noah and Vernon behind me, and rubbed her cheeks, which were a little red from the cold, and then got up from the bench and said, "Vernon, Giga, Noah, why are you here?"

Noah snorted and said, "We were going to celebrate Senior Vernon becoming an alchemist. ”

That look of underbeating made Erica smile bitterly, and Shirley Newman gently poked Noah to shut up.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Senior Erica reached out and stroked her hair, and then straightened her chest and said to Senior Vernon with a smile, "Vernon, congratulations!"

She smiled a little forcefully, and she also seemed preoccupied.

Senior Vernon opened his mouth, didn't say a word in his stomach, just stood in front of Erica and looked at her.

I sighed softly, hugged Noah and said, "Noah, didn't you say that you were going to pick a magic sword with Shirley Newman?"

"Huh?" Noah looked at me with a puzzled expression.

Shirley Newman, on the other hand, grinned and clasped Noah's arm tightly.

I stomped my sore foot, and it was a long way to go.

I said to Senior Vernon and Senior Erica, "I'm going to the Academy of Magic as well, Senior Vernon and Senior Erica, then we'll go first......"

After saying that, he and Shirley Newman worked together to drag Noah away......

After walking a long way, I looked back and saw that Senior Vernon and Senior Erica were still standing in front of the restaurant, but the two seemed to have begun to talk, and Senior Erica's face softened slightly.
