Chapter Seventy-Three: Seven Days in the Manor
Sylvade nodded, and the basement was silent for a moment.
The old man put down his pipe, and his gray eyes flashed with insight: "I see, little girl of the Albert family, I will say how can you have a competition with the old copper nose for no reason." You deliberately revealed your identity, in fact, you want those old guys to pay attention to the next game, right? ”
Sylvade smiled, acquiescing.
Ender also laughed and shook his head: "We old guys have fallen for you again, and no one else should have reacted except me." You've made a lasting impression on them—"
He glanced at the crystal in his hand and said with emotion: "The old copper nose must be scolding at this time, no one has watched that performance, and they won't be curious about this little guy." But what's even more interesting is that they must have thought that this little guy was a 'student' that I picked up out of nowhere. ”
He laughed and said, "Ha, it's okay, let them guess." Save those guys from nagging behind my back all day and letting them say I don't have a successor. ”
Ender said as he looked at Fang Plover with silver-gray eyes.
The latter was confused, but he also understood that his ship's officer's lady had quietly set himself up again—Fang Yu turned his head and looked at Sylvid on the side with some annoyance, but saw that a bunch of fox ears seemed to grow on the top of the nobleman's daughter's head.
pointy, and swaying slightly.
Ander's words changed: "But my opinion alone is insignificant, at best it affects those old guys." And if you want to take the Fairy Heart, it is the brainchild of your grandfather for generations, and the opinion of the Council of Elders is only one aspect, and it needs to be approved by Villavito. ”
Villavito-Sirin-Spica – The current Count of Rose, the father of Drissy. Sylvid had mentioned it to the others before they came, so it was not surprising that Fang Yu needed the consent of the current 'owner' of the Rose Workshop to do this.
"We've got our own arrangements, Mr. Ender." Sylvid replied.
"I believe this," Ander smiled slightly, "If the little girl of the Albert family is going to do something, how can she not think about it?" ”
"Okay."
The old man nodded.
However, he said yes, but he did not say anything about the answer to this question.
Sylvide and Fang Yu glanced at each other, and both understood that the other meant to observe for a while. This is not surprising, after all, the old man was his grandfather's assistant, and he has a unique affection for the Rose Workshop, so he will not make a decision lightly.
In fact, Ander also recognized that Fang Yu had an outstanding talent in alchemy, but sometimes, talent doesn't mean anything. It can even lead things to the bad side, and when talent is used in the wrong direction, it will only make people farther and farther away from the goal.
And being too superstitious about talent will only make people lazy, and such examples abound, and the old man will not say it, so as not to hurt the confidence of the young man.
However, he believed that with the intelligence of the little girl of the Albert family, he should also see this.
After that, everyone's efforts to stay in Dulun were unsurprisingly delayed for a few more days.
At the request of the old man, Fang Yu visited with Sylvid almost every day for the next few days, occasionally alone, mainly with the help of this legendary alchemist, to make up for some basic knowledge of the alchemist.
Just in case he has another oolong like this one in the Rose Workshop, and he doesn't know such a funny thing as 'Leox's Colossal Chess', it wouldn't be so funny to do it again at the Elders' meeting.
Both of them were from the Kapka Artisan Guild and were alchemists from the same school, so Ender showed a great deal of interest in Fang Yuan's origins.
In the old man's long memory, the Kapuka craftsmen always paid more attention to the basic education of alchemist apprentices, and he was puzzled by how the Kapuka school taught such an alchemist who was so lacking in common sense.
Or is the Kapka school now much worse than it used to be?
When he was free, the old man asked Fang Yu this question. Fang Yu was a little embarrassed, and replied with a blushing face: "I am the Elector, and the training period of the Elector is only six months, Mr. Ander. ”
Well, compared to the aboriginal alchemist apprentices, who have been around for more than ten years, the Electors are indeed quick, and it's not surprising that they lack common sense. However, Ander nodded, and the conversation changed: "But the other Electors are not like you, are they?" ”
This is a heart-piercing statement.
Fang Yu wanted to cry without tears, because the normal recruiter still has three years of trainee training, as well as one year of trainee assessment, and then a two-year transition period for newcomers, so that it will be five or six years to officially become a recruiter.
In fact, many trainees have entered special trainee training camps since they were seven or eight years old, learning the knowledge of the earth while learning the common sense of Aitalia, and when they become real trainees, they already have a considerable knowledge of Aitalia.
Like Ji Ta and Luo Yu, as well as Tian Lan, they are all trainees from such professional classes.
And he is just a wild man, everything he knows about Aitalia comes from his own learning from the community, there are many lofty things on it, but there is a lot less when it comes to common sense.
If he hadn't met 'R' at the end, he would have been even darker than he is now.
What he learned in Kapka was only some of the basics of an alchemist, and six months was not enough for him to fully and systematically understand everything about alchemists in this world.
But the Elector's apprenticeship was only six months, and he could not stay in Kapka for long, and he had nothing on him, and if Miss Scapet hadn't taken him in, he would have starved to death in the streets before winter came.
Fortunately, Ander didn't look into it in detail, and he roughly guessed that Fang Yu didn't really learn much in Kapuka, but it was this that made the old man a little curious - where did the other party's 'margin technique' come from?
After all, in any school, this is considered professional knowledge, and without a special mentor, you basically can't learn similar skills in the rookie era.
Regarding this question, Fang Yu calmly told his experience as it was. After all, the other party even knew about Miss Tata, and this secret was not worth mentioning, not to mention that Shana had also said that he could share this training software with others, which meant that this thing didn't seem to need to be kept secret.
To be honest, he himself was actually a little curious about Shana's training method, he originally thought it was the basic training method of the 'margin technique', but now it seems that it is not. So the question is, where exactly does this training technique come from?
In Fang Yuan's opinion, this question could only be answered by the legendary alchemist in front of him.
It's just that after Ander looked at the training method, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "This is what those people gave you?" ”
Fang Yu nodded.
"This is strange, I really don't know the origin of this training method," the old man's silver gray eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he thought for a moment, "but your training method is very clever, the only thing that can be sure is that it is indeed a training method of 'margin skills', but the difficulty is much higher than usual......"
"There won't be any hidden dangers, will you, Mr. Ender?" Fang Yu always felt that he had been deceived recently, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit of a bow and snake shadow.
"Hidden dangers?" Ande shook his head: "What hidden dangers can this be, it's nothing more than a training method, the only problem is that it's too unfriendly to beginners," he glared at Fang Yuan: "But you're not the same freak or have you crossed this stage?" ”
"I don't know how you have such a brain, sometimes it looks like a real idiot-"
He shook his head, a little hopelessly.
I have to say that this young man's ability to learn in alchemy made him a little impressed. In his opinion, the other party was like a sponge that had just been soaked in water, which could absorb all the knowledge related to alchemy endlessly.
In the past few days of study, he guided the other party to learn some knowledge of the shipwright and the fairy envoy, intentionally or unintentionally, but he did not stump the other party in the slightest. Ander himself was a standard student at the Kapka Society when he was younger, but he looked back on his own learning experience and felt inferior.
But there were times when the kid was so stubborn that his head was full of stones, like in the alchemist's etiquette, cognition, and how to deal with other alchemists, that he found himself a fool who he couldn't teach anyway.
"You know, in most places, each country has its own alchemist association, which is in charge of the flow of resources among alchemists, and it is through this means that countries can achieve basic management and control over alchemists."
"Let's say the Southern Alchemist Alliance?"
"Yes, but don't interrupt," Ander tapped his pipe, "That's not the point I'm going to make. ”
Fang Yu sat upright, as well-behaved as a real student, after all, he also knew that it was rare for a legendary alchemist to be willing to teach him these things, which was a rare experience.
And when the other party gave him a lesson, he only saw that the cognitive experience in the system skyrocketed, and it didn't slow down until the third day, but basically there were thousands of experience per hour.
After more than ten hours a day, it is tens of thousands of experiences.
In just a few days, he had steadily passed the fifteenth level and began to move towards the sixteenth level. What's even more surprising is that even Luo Yu, Box and Parker, who were listening in the previous two days, have each improved their ranks.
Among them, Luo Yu, who had the lowest level, was promoted to level seven on the first day, and almost reached half of level seven on the second day.
Unfortunately, on the third day, the old man drove all the others away, and said that he was teaching alchemists, and that he was not here to be a nanny for these little ones. And it can be seen that it is rare to have a legendary alchemist as a mentor.
Although Luo Yuming also has a legendary elemental envoy as a mentor on his face, the kind of mentor who opens a letter of introduction is just a name, and he basically doesn't even think about imparting experience in person like this.
Is it true that the time of a legend does not cost money?
Of course, Fang Yu knew that the reason why the other party was willing to make up for his knowledge was entirely for Sylvid's face.
Therefore, at first, although he was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the noble daughter who disagreed with him and set himself up, but after a few days, he saw that the right person was a smiling and lovely fox lady again.
I can only say that it is really fragrant.
"What I'm going to talk to you about here is the alchemist black market," the old man didn't know that Fang Yu was deserting, and continued: "Where there is light, there is shadow, and when alchemists use the alchemist black market, only in the black market can you buy some materials and drawings that are controlled by the alchemist general association on the surface. ”
"But those places aren't alchemists' paradise," Ender took out a book from a drawer and handed it to Fang Yuan, "There are some reliable merchants out there, but more often than not, liars and other outlaws, who are more concerned with how to get money out of your pocket with empty gloves than how to sell you better things." ”
He patted the cover of the book: "So you have to be very careful when dealing with these people, this book is a famous alchemy book, mainly about how to deal with black market merchants, and some famous tricks. ”
As the afternoon sun slowly filtered through the window, pouring the last of winter's warmth into the living room, the legendary alchemist reminded him of the precautions one by one, and finally asked, "Do you understand?" ”
Fang Yu thought for a moment: "I don't understand, but I can ask Sky Blue and Miss Attila to help with the bargaining." ”
Ander gasped when he heard this, so he threw the book directly in his face: "...... As I said, only alchemists can enter the alchemist black market, and your Miss Atira and Azure can't get in. ”
"Then I won't go to the alchemist black market, ouch-"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was smashed by a thick book. Ander's head was bruised, like a dragon roaring: "Get out of here, hopeless fool!" Take this book and memorize it ten times, and if you can't remember any of the above, don't come to see me! ”
Fang Yu innocently hugged his head and ran around with a book.
But in the end, he memorized the entire book with an astonishing memory—roughly.
However, as for how to use the above content, it is probably only known to the saints. Anyway, Fang Yu had already made up his mind in his heart, and he must persuade Tianlan and Miss Atira to become alchemists, so that they would come.
Wouldn't that be a brilliant solution to the problem?
It's just that after that, Ander didn't talk to him about the 'common sense' in this regard, probably because he saw that rotten wood could not be carved, and only discussed with him the knowledge related to alchemy.
In this way, the communication between the two seemed much more peaceful, and nothing like this ever happened again.
And as his teaching deepened, Ander found himself more and more appreciative of the young man's amazing talent for alchemy, and although he may have had some intention of investigating at first, he had actually regarded Fang Yu as his own student.
He didn't expect that if he joked with the old copper nose before, he would become a prophecy, but he felt in his heart that he had probably fallen into the calculation of the little girl of Albert's family again.
But this is a machiam.
An alchemist like him, who has been legendary all his life, at this age, the only thing he wants is, of course, a qualified student. The reason why he didn't have a successor before was simply because his vision was too high.
And Fang Yuan's arrival is like an unexpected joy arranged by fate. Because of this, in the future, the old man has inadvertently taught more and more carefully.
And the 'common sense' that Fang Yu has mastered is naturally improving by leaps and bounds.
In the last few days, the experience he gained was on the rise again-
The blizzard had arrived a few days earlier, and after that Fang Yu did not return to Dulun, but stayed overnight in the manor. Coincidentally, there was actually another guest in the manor at this time, the president of the Goland Craftsmen's Association, but because of the staggered time of his study time and the other party's activity time, he only saw each other from a distance in the courtyard.
Neither side made any impression on each other.
Of course, Falaise Copperbay would not have imagined that the ordinary young man he saw that day would be the alchemist boy on Fenris Island that he had been looking for.
At other times, Sylvid would come and spend the night at the manor—but it would be a little awkward, as Ander thought it was a young couple, and the room for them was the same.
There is only one double bed inside.
In winter, of course, it was impossible for Fang Yu to sleep on the cold floor, so the two had to sleep back to back. And Fang Yu repeatedly promised that he would never turn around - but in this regard, the noble daughter only smiled slightly.
A pair of shallow sea-like eyes looked at him as if they could speak.
Outside the house, it was the bitter cold of the blizzard, and the whistling of the wind even drowned out the sound of the forest howling far and near, and only the occasional sound of the branches hitting the windows would make a rattling sound.
But the room was unexpectedly quiet, only the rattling of the table clock, Fang Yu stared into the darkness, and could only feel the girl's warm back clinging to her, as if the two of them were the only warmth in the bitter cold.
He couldn't sleep at all, his mind was full of thoughts.
In fact, neither of them slept, but they were still able to maintain a tacit understanding in the dark, and no one would expose this, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
But what Fang Yuan didn't expect was that after a while, about under his influence, Miss Tata also came out from under the quilt. In the darkness, Miss Fairy was kneeling on a pillow and was looking at him curiously:
"Mr. Knight, you are very emotionally unstable, is Miss Sylvede influencing you?"
Tata asked very calmly.
Fang Yu listened to it, but he almost hit his head and died on the head of the bed.
"Miss Tata, don't say it!" He shouted in his heart.
But Fang Yu obviously forgot that the two of them shared their hearts. Tata listened and asked curiously, "Why can't you say it?" ”
Poof.
Sylvide's snickering came from the other side of the quilt, but the noblewoman's daughter apparently held back her laughter, but her shoulders shook very much.
At that moment, Fang Yu felt that he had died socially.
