Chapter 304: Nobility and Humility (I)

At night, in the alchemy workshop, located twenty meters underground in the eastern district of Dalaran, hundreds of apprentices between the ages of ten and fifteen are trying to make all kinds of low-level potions and magic items under the guidance of their respective mentors.

Some of these veteran apprentices already possess considerable proficiency in their craft, and have begun to use them to earn themselves a lot of gold to compensate for the massive cost of learning magic.

You must know that except for a very small number of wealthy merchants and princes and princesses, even the nobles cannot afford the terrifying tuition fees that have increased exponentially, so most of the apprentices complete their studies part-time and eventually become qualified mages.

In a way, the apprentices gained valuable experience in the process, and the Kenrito Council was able to earn the difference in price and maintain daily expenses by selling low-level potions and magic items made by these apprentices. It's a win-win.

Of course, the income of the apprentices is naturally not comparable to that of the mage, on the one hand, they cannot buy raw materials at a low price, and on the other hand, a part of every gold coin they earn will go into the master's pocket.

As for the amount of this part, it depends on how dark the master's heart is, as little as a third, and as much as a half, anyway, before becoming a recognized official mage, they are all small people who have been oppressed.

But all this is not a problem for Jenny, who is quiet and introverted.

Because George Sr. almost did his best to support his youngest daughter for the rise of the family, her monthly living expenses were almost six times that of her apprentices in the same period.

In addition, because of the relationship with Zhang Cheng, many people mistakenly thought that the girl was the lover of the former, so the old mage Jebez, who was in his early sixties, never made her feel bad.

Although she sometimes wanted to explain the misunderstanding clearly, she remembered her father's advice before leaving, and forcibly endured it, allowing the rumors to spread widely, and even many female apprentices who claimed to be beautiful and moving asked her for advice on how to seduce a powerful senior mage.

After all, age restrictions have never been a stumbling block to love and lust in Azeroth.

You don't see that when Gianna was still a green Lori in the past, the thousand-year-old Kael'thas still resolutely joined the ranks of his suitors, according to the laws and moral standards on the earth, a dead house like him plus Lori Control definitely belongs to the category of starting in three years and the highest death penalty.

But in reality?

Far from being rejected or disgusted by this, the general public found it very romantic, and it was simply the most classic love story of a prince and princess in fairy tales.

But unfortunately, the beautiful princess did not choose the handsome and elegant elven prince in the end, but chose a somewhat arrogant human prince, Arthas Minehir.

In fact, in the human kingdom, the combination of young girls and middle-aged uncles and even gray-haired old men is very common, especially the nobles who pay attention to blood.

As for the peachy news between Master Dalaran and his apprentices, more than half of the male and female apprentices were eager to climb into the teacher's bed and exchange their youth for infinite knowledge and power.

Just as Jenny kept recalling the embarrassing picture from not long ago in her mind, Jebez, the gray-haired old mage, suddenly reminded him, "You have put too much in the dose of Silver Leaf Grass!"

"Ahh

Moment!

The potion, which was still smoking, suddenly became cloudy, and it emitted a pungent smell that was choking.

You don't have to ask to know that this magic potion is completely scrapped.

Frustrated, she hurriedly lowered her head and explained in a stammering tone, "Yes...... I'm sorry, Mentor, I'm distracted. ”

"Remember, you are now an apprentice, and you must stick to your duties as an apprentice and don't think about anything else while studying alchemy. Jebez reprimanded loudly as he blew his beard and glared.

"I'm sorry......" The girl, who has never been good at words, just lowered her head and kept apologizing.

"Well, forget it, go get another document and start over. The old mage waved his hand to clean up the turbid liquid in the beaker, and shook his head helplessly.

He didn't understand what was so good about the clumsy little guy in front of him that he could be favored by a senior member of the Kenrito Council.

Seeing the back of the tutor gradually disappearing, Jenny breathed a sigh of relief, and planned to turn around and go to the material library behind to get a new copy of silver leaf powder.

But before she could take a step, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with black hair and black eyes, suddenly hugged her from behind, pinched her chest twice where it had just begun to bulge, and laughed in a low voice: "Wow! Our lovely little Jenny is getting more and more seductive." I heard that the one in your family is back?

"Damn it, Zenobia, how many times have I said that Mr. Mage only gave me shelter at my father's request, and nothing happened between us. Jenny broke her two hands and rolled her eyes angrily.

Obviously, the two of them have known each other for a long time, and they are still good friends.

"Hey, hey, just kidding, I know you're a pure girl who blushes even when she sees someone kissing. But seriously, did you mention what I asked you about last time?" the girl named Zenobia winked playfully.

"I'm sorry, there was a little accident at home just now, and I haven't had time to mention it yet. Jenny's fair face turned red again.

"Oh, what's going on?" Zenobia's gossip greeked.

But before Jenny could answer, an unfamiliar figure suddenly appeared under the stairs of the entrance.

"First...... Sir, why are you here?" said Jenny, leaving her only friend in Dalaran, hurried over and bowed.

The person who came was none other than Zhang Cheng, who had just taken a shower and changed his clothes.

I saw that he first glanced at Zenobia, who was dressed in a somewhat panicked manner, and then asked with a smile: "Who is that?"

"Zenobia, she was my friend and helped me a lot when I was an apprentice. Jenny replied cautiously.

"Hello, Master Master, my full name is Zenobia Eberlock, and it is a great honor to meet you. The maiden stooped down and made a standard aristocratic salute.

"Who are you, Duke Eberlock?" Zhang Cheng said tentatively, touching his chin with interest.

"He's my uncle, and Althea is my cousin. Zenobia gave the answer without thinking.

Zhang Cheng nodded thoughtfully: "I see, you are a nobleman of the Storm Kingdom. Can you tell me what you're asking Jenny to do, it doesn't happen to be related to me......"
