Chapter 3 Temporary work

Donald had the metal ball in his hand, and he was sure there was no mechanism in it, nor was it something that could be remotely controlled, and there was no such tremor when it came out of Finger's mouth.

"Wizard, I've finally found you!"

Someone shouted inexplicably behind him, Donald's eyes were cold, he didn't do anything, and his identity was inexplicably exposed?

The hand holding the metal ball suddenly tightened, and the mental power was mobilized, and it was this instant change that the vibration frequency of the metal ball in the hand increased again.

I see......

Quickly gathered his mental strength, and when he turned around, he saw an old man with gray temples staring at him, staring at the metal ball in his hand to be exact.

It has stopped fluttering.

"You're calling me?"

Donald pinched the metal ball and put on a puzzled expression.

"Yes, it's you, you're a wizard, right? They didn't lie to me, this thing can find a wizard!"

The old man seemed to be sure of his identity, with some abnormal flush on his face, and a thin sweat on the sides of his cheeks and forehead, which should have come by running.

Donald was able to guess that he was following the metal ball, but there was no other evidence, and that was easy.

"Why don't I understand what you're saying, what wizard......? Did you mean this metal ball? It was pounced on by my cat just now, and I was thinking about who left it and gave it back to you. ”

If the ball had been useful, it should have been targeting Donald just now, but it was pounced on by Finger as a flying insect.

Under normal circumstances, Donald would not have relented in his mental strength.

On the one hand, it was cultivated in the city of Preston in order to deal with danger, and it can enter the battle anytime and anywhere.

On the other hand, after devouring Mineato's remnant soul, due to the overnight surge in spiritual power, he couldn't do it as he wanted, and he had to deliberately restrain it.

"Why don't you move...... Are you really not a wizard? Oh, I know, the government doesn't like wizards who are not controlled, so most of you don't reveal your identities to outsiders, it's okay, I'm not from the government, I'm just very curious about wizards, I want to know about occult knowledge, I ...... I want to learn the occult!"

The old man took the metal ball, and pressed a small pick at the top with his little thumb in front of Donald, and a pair of small mechanical wings immediately opened on both sides of the metal ball, and the old man aimed it at Donald, this time there was no reaction, and as if he had guessed Donald's thoughts, he hurriedly lowered his voice.

It turned out to be an old man who wanted to be a wizard, and I don't know where he got this metal ball, it was not a strange thing, it should be a mechanical creation.

"I think you're looking for the wrong person, I'm not a wizard, and my name isn't wizard...... That's it, Finger, let's go. ”

Donald didn't want to have anything to do with this strange-looking old man, but fortunately he was calm enough before to reveal his identity.

"It's impossible, I did react before, but then I stopped inexplicably, and I finally found one, how can I let you go. ”

It's not a matter of a day or two for him to pursue the wizard, this tracking ball is something he recently bought with a lot of money, and after opening it, he can take the initiative to find the existence of spiritual power fluctuations that are different from ordinary people nearby, and the tracking ball came in this direction before, it must be because there is a special existence here.

The person who was finally found, how could he be run away by him in a few words, looking at his age, he is in the Royal Delorraine University, and he is estimated to be a student.

"Wait, you helped me retrieve something, it's important to me, as a qualified gentleman, I have to be like you to say thank you, Stuart Cook, my name, you should have heard of it, tell me your name and department, and I'll let your tutor add points to your academic evaluations. ”

At Royal Delorraine, academic evaluation is a comprehensive aggregate rating of students, and it is very difficult to get extra points on this, that is, an honorary professor like him is qualified to make such a qualification, and Cook does not think that the other party will refuse this offer.

"I'm not a student at this university, so I probably don't need the extra points you call in academic assessments. ”

Donald said this, but his footsteps stopped, and there was not much memory of his predecessor in college, but even so, Donald still knew the importance of academic evaluation, and people who could so casually put forward extra points must have a certain status in this university, so he continued:

"I'm here today to apply for a teaching assistant job, and it would be great if you could help me get the job. ”

It may be a bit of a coercion to say this, but Donald doesn't care at all, can he still ask Cook to give him a sum of money.

It was just that, and if Cook felt he couldn't do it, he would turn away.

"Teaching assistant, okay, I don't have a teaching assistant, can you help me?"

Hearing that the other party was not a student at this university, Cook was a little disappointed, but he turned out to apply, which was really a bit of a surprise.

As one of the professors of the college, it is not too simple for him to ask the college for a teaching assistant, and it is also a way to keep the young man in front of him by his side, and then slowly try to find it, but there is no result, so he thinks that he has really found a teaching assistant, anyway, his salary and accommodation are not his own responsibility.

"Are there any special requirements for being your teaching assistant? I studied religious studies in college, and if you need a more professional teaching assistant, I may not be able to do it. ”

The other party agreed so easily, Donald was also a little surprised, and after thinking about it, he asked more.

"It's not difficult, my major is in the chemical industry, there are very few classes in the usual world, only about 5 classes a week, and they are all in the morning, most of the time is to do experiments and rest time, there is my assistant in the experiment, all you have to do is to help with some small favors, such as sorting notes and other things. ”

Cook didn't really need a TA at all, and he didn't have much to ask TA to help with, so the surprise on Donald's face was palpable when he found the middle-aged man he had just interviewed Donald.

"What's the matter, Peters, I want to have a teaching assistant, what's wrong with that? Even those ordinary teachers can have teaching assistants, can't I have them?"

Regarding the middle-aged man's hesitation, Cook frowned and asked very directly.

Donald didn't know what this teaching assistant really meant, and in fact the position itself was an invisible benefit given by the college to various tutors.

Because teaching assistants can be nominated by individual tutors, this means that the college often doesn't care who those teachers will recommend, they are only responsible for paying, for the Royal Delorraine University, the salary of dozens of teaching assistants is only a small amount, as for accommodation, the staff apartments in the university are also empty.

"Of course not, Mr. Cook, in your capacity, it is appropriate to have a teaching assistant, there is no problem with this, I will go through the formalities for this gentleman right away, draw up the contract, Mr. Grant, please remember the location here, it will be about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, you can come back again and solve the contract problem. ”

Noticing Cook's displeasure, the middle-aged man immediately said that there was no problem, and the person in front of him was not only one of the few honorary professors in the Royal Deloreans, but also his mentor when he was young.

Don't mention one, even if Cook wants to arrange a few living assistants, he will not have any objections.

"Come with me, Mr. Grant, and I'll show you around where you're going to be working. ”

After the promised work was done, Cook immediately took Donald to his place of work.

Along the way, Donald was the first time to see the city's top universities, with large red brick buildings tens of meters high and large castles looking very old.

There are also some strange things on the road from time to time, such as the most common street lamp, the street lamp in Pston City needs to be manually ignited, and the street lamp here has a mechanical appearance, the top is a closed hexagonal encirclement, and the surrounding patches seem to be able to be withdrawn at any time.

Occasionally, you can see some taller metal pillars with mechanical flowers hanging from them near these street lamps, and listen to Cook talk about these things on the radio inside the academy......

"Donald, this is where my studio is, and it's my private lab, and it's smaller than the labs in the academy, but the equipment in it is the best thing in Dmingham at the moment. ”

In Donald's eyes, there was an ordinary two-story building, and if there was anything special, it was this metal door full of strange mechanical gears.

Cook kept pressing some of the buttons on the door, and then turned a few more gear knobs, and Donald only heard a click of mechanical gears meshing and turning, and the whole door opened a crack in the middle.

After entering the door, Donald only felt that his two eyes were not enough, there were only a few pieces of furniture on the entire floor, and the rest were all kinds of large mechanical devices!

There are large gourd-shaped distillation flasks, wooden barrel-sized mechanical drum cutters, washbasin-sized crucibles and matching stirring rods, most of which are distributed in the corners of the room, and in the center are three large workbenches with a large number of mechanical instruments in addition to transparent bottles and jars.

In short, Donald is completely incomprehensible for the most part.

"Is there a place in the academy that can provide equipment for potions?"

Donald asked for no reason.

"Of course, the public laboratories of the Royal Delores are very well equipped. ”

"That's right...... Looks like I've got a good job. ”

Talent potions, moonshine ink, these are all things that need special configuration, Donald was still having a headache where to buy equipment before, now that he has all of them, it's still the best!
