"Forget it, no matter, anyway, I don't lack ingredients, so let's try it casually, and the potion and the food seem to be a bit similar, after all, it's all a process of throwing it in a pot and cooking it, I think I can do it."

Although he was not very sure in his heart, but now that Cinderella was watching from the sidelines, Merlin did not want to destroy his image as a knowledgeable and capable teacher in front of his lovely apprentice, so he decided to be reckless.

Anyway, it's a big deal to fail a few more times, anyway, he doesn't lack that little material money, and his pockets are so capricious.

Thinking about it like this, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and he didn't bother with anything anymore, and he was ready to start work.

The first is the extraction process of the material, which is not difficult, just like the juicer of the previous life, the extraction of potions can also be achieved with special tools.

After all, the world in the era of the industrial revolution is also developing rapidly, the industrial frenzy set off by the god of steam swept the whole world, and those magical machines that swallow steam have thus entered thousands of households, even the mysterious side is not exempt from vulgarity, some of them have trendy wizards who have combined machinery and witchcraft on this basis, and developed a more black magic technology, of which the potion extraction machine is one of them.

Simply pour the ingredients into the extractor, press a button gently, and wait a few minutes for the essence of the potion to be extracted and flow into the test tube you have prepared.

It's a pity that this kind of magic guide machinery is all extremely expensive, ordinary wizards really can't afford it, often only some large powers of potions laboratories will be equipped with this kind of precision equipment, but most ordinary potions masters still use magic combined with solvents to extract slowly, very hard and inefficient.

And this kind of wizard often says that what artificially extracted potions are really high-quality, and the machine-extracted magic soul and other difficult words are difficult to understand, after all, a bottle of potion is just a bottle, what kind of soul do you want, even if some potions really need souls for concoction, it is not the soul of the potion itself, but the use of some special souls as materials.

Fortunately, Merlin is not the kind of "soul party" who rests on his laurels, he knows better than anyone what it means to change life with science and technology, he decisively threw the spiritual materials on the table into the extractor on the side, and then pressed the start button, quietly waiting for the extraction to be completed.

Well, the potions classroom of the mysterious side branch is equipped with this kind of fake and expensive potion extraction machine, after all, although Aldrich Academy is only a basic educational institution equivalent to a kindergarten on the mysterious side, but he has a hard background, there are two major forces behind it, the empire and the church, and the academy headquarters was originally the base camp of the scholars in the Hall of Truth, and with the cooperation of the three major forces, there is no shortage of money and research funds, and teaching facilities have always been configured according to the highest standards.

Hawkers, although letting a group of wizard apprentices who are only in the literacy stage directly get started is a kind of waste of anti-aircraft guns fighting mosquitoes in this kind of top laboratory, but the academy doesn't care about this waste.

But then again, it's one thing for schools not to care, but it's also true that it's a waste.

And recently, Merlin saw that Cynthia, an idler, seemed to finally not fish much, but rarely began to get down to business, she, the head of the house, was communicating with the old headmaster these days, planning an educational reform about the mysterious side of the branch, ready to take off the hat of the kindergarten on the head of Aldrich's mysterious branch, and transform it into a real high wizarding school.

After all, the current occult branch is different from the positioning of the past, the occult branch in the past is just a nursery set up by the empire and the church together, and it only needs to be responsible for laying a good foundation for the literacy of the wild witches brought by the secret keepers, and the follow-up higher education will naturally continue after the witches graduate and join the church or empire.

But now that the empire is gone, the graduates of the college have one less place to go with their bags, and the strict odds and selflessness of the Templar Church, while respectable, are not something that everyone can follow, so some graduates who do not want to join the church will lose the way to further their studies.

This also leads to the life of these graduates after graduation is a little difficult, after all, the academy will only teach the popular basic witchcraft, and further secret arts and even inheritance will not be taught, which is like everyone else in the game has a big move, but you only have small skills, a little inferior.

Cynthia meant that she would take a portion of her private arsenal of mystical arts and inheritances as an investment in the academy, and add another three years of higher education to the school's six-year education to give students who did not want to join the church a way out.

Of course, with Merlin's understanding of this ghost woman, this unscrupulous old lady will definitely not do any loss-making business, and she will most likely attach some conditions to those students who have learned her secret arts, such as how many years to work for her after graduation to pay off debts.

Tut-tut, you don't need to open your mouth to know the old capitalists.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The sound of a steaming whistle sent Merlin from his thoughts, and he shook his head and looked at the source of the sound, which was the extractor.

In the time he had just been thinking, this precision magic machine had already completed the extraction of the essence of the material, and he had placed several test tubes in the outlet and was half full at this time.

Merlin then brought a small potions cauldron from the side and prepared to start the first potion concoction.

As for the potion cauldron, it is actually just a pot in the shape of a soup pot, but it seems to be made of Mithril and magic gold with good magic conduction, and it looks extraordinarily gorgeous.

Seeing this pot, Merlin's chef's soul jumped twice.

yes, it's time to cook again.

He thought so to himself, and then he looked at the recipe, ahhhh

First add an appropriate amount of slime slime, oh, I understand, it's almost a slippery pan, and then put in an appropriate amount of mandrake roots and moon flower petals, well, the meaning of green onion and ginger stir-frying, what is it after that, whatever, it's almost time to cook in the main ingredient cauldron, I'll throw it away, and finally sprinkle some medicinal powder, just as seasoning.

Dangdang dang, cooking, ahh

Cinderella on the side silently watched the whole process of Merlin's potion refining, the studious girl's eyes glowed with curiosity, she looked at her beautiful young teacher's smooth operation with admiration, although she didn't know the specific secrets of these processes, but at least it seemed to be very powerful, and she would be able to become a potions master like Teacher Merlin in the future.

The innocent girl who trusts her teacher 100% hopes so much in her heart.

Then she smelled a scent.

Ahh But don't all the books say that the potion tastes extremely bad, and some seniors even say that it smells worse than excrement?

The school bully girl was a little confused.
