Angus's alchemy shop was approaching evening, and the flow of people was finally running out.

Ning Lang waited at the door for a long time, and saw that no one came after more than ten minutes, so he walked inside.

"Rest, rest!"

The skinny shopkeeper stood in front of Ning Lang with a smile and didn't let him continue to walk inside.

"No, I'm not here to buy something."

Ning Lang smiled, pointed to a notice hanging at the door of the store and said, "I'm here to apply." ”

This notice was seen by Ning Lang when he came out of the bookstore, and the content in it was that the alchemy shop urgently recruited apprentices and was treated favorably. This happened to hit Ning Lang's muzzle, making it much more likely that his mission could be completed.

But he didn't rush forward, but spent a lot of time outside, watching if anyone else came in. But what made him feel a little strange was that he hadn't seen anyone come here for a long time to apply for a job, all of them were people who came to buy and sell things.

Obviously, this kind of apprentice is not easy to find, Ning Lang saw that the notice seemed to have been posted for a long time, but the shopkeeper was still the only one in the shop—maybe there were apprentices doing alchemy operations elsewhere, but the goods in the store could clearly be seen that the other party's goods were seriously insufficient.

He found from the occasional whining voices from the endless stream of people that almost all of them pointed to the fact that the alchemy shop was in limited supply. This is the lack of production capacity, because there is a constant flow of materials into small stores, and as long as there are enough people, they can always be turned into qualified products.

So when Ning Lang waited for a while and found that the store owner began to drive people out of sales, he understood that the things in the store should be almost sold, and if the store owner was upset that there were too few goods to apply, the requirements should be lowered slightly.

"You're here to apply?"

But to Ning Lang's surprise, the shopkeeper didn't show a very happy look when he heard his words, as if he was seriously doubting his ability: "You can call me Angus, you tell me, do you want to apply?" ”

Hearing the other party's two consecutive rhetorical questions, Ning Lang hesitated and said, "Yes, I want to try it." ”

"It's not something you can do by trying."

Boss Angus waved his hand and said, "Only those with mage talent can become alchemy apprentices, and ordinary people have no way. ”

So it was, Ning Lang suddenly understood why no one had applied to become an alchemy apprentice until now. After all, there are only a few people who can possess mage talents, and most of them are sent back to the heart of the empire before the war, because these are the seeds of future power that will not be put in danger here.

Naturally, it will be difficult to find a suitable apprentice in this small alchemy shop.

But Ning Lang is different, he can use spells with the help of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, and naturally he can be regarded as a person with the talent of a mage, and he will definitely show the other party his strength.

[Magic Trick], this is a low-level spell, almost only able to make some tricks and other means, but it can clearly show the surface, Ning Lang is a person with the talent of a spellcaster.

Seeing the stones floating in the air around him, Boss Angus was obviously much happier: "It's the simplest [magic trick], it's very good, it's a little interesting." ”

The boss of Angus didn't ask him any questions, and directly asked him to follow him into the shop, and at first to discuss the treatment of the apprentice.

"What have you studied?"

Angus asked Ning Lang to know what kind of knowledge he was good at: ""Basic Elements", "Simple Runes", "Magic Pattern Construction" and the like, you tell me what you are best at, and I will arrange a suitable job for you." ”

But it's a pity that Ning Lang didn't know any of these things, so looking at Ning Lang with blank eyes, Angus's face suddenly didn't look good: "Don't say you don't know any of them!" ”

"Well, not a single one!"

Ning Lang nodded honestly, and then saw that Angus's face in front of him suddenly turned black as the bottom of the pot.

"Then how did you learn the spell!"

Angus slapped the table next to him and roared loudly, "How did you learn spells!" You don't know anything about it, your spells fell from the sky! ”

It really fell from the sky, Ning Lang said secretly in his heart, and then said with a smile on his face: "I just know that one spell, but I'm talented after all, aren't I?" Isn't it the same as being an apprentice and learning from scratch? ”

"Same?"

Angus snorted angrily: "But I just want to hire people now, if you don't know, what's the difference between not recruiting and not recruiting?" ”

"I'm a fast learner."

Ning Lang hesitated for a moment, then decisively took out his plastic lighter and said, "I will sell this thing to you cheaply, it can be regarded as you taught me alchemy." ”

This is Ning Lang's true purpose!

He inquired, this Angus is a person with intermediate alchemy qualifications in the Dofman Empire, and he can be regarded as an equal to Baron Vuitton in the small town of Vuitton.

Among the nearby towns, he is known for his alchemy at its best, and the things he makes are also the most popular.

Ping said that Angus almost didn't accept a few apprentices, which led to the situation that the front was urgent but there were not enough manpower, Ning Lang would not be the object of the other party's favor at all if it was before, but the current situation is different, maybe there is a little possibility?

Besides, although the plastic lighter in Ning Lang's hand was very similar to something in this world, the shell in it was enough to make any alchemist curious.

Angus himself is a curious alchemist, and adventurers often sell him rare things, and the remuneration is far higher than that of selling to others.

The captain said that Angus was able to offer twice the price of Baron Vuitton, and there was also this factor.

"This thing."

Angus took the lighter in Ning Lang's hand, and he didn't have any doubts about being able to automatically ignite, there are many alchemy props in this world that can do this, and the key is that the shell in it makes him a little fascinated.

"I'll give you 30 kindirs, sell me this."

Angus hesitated for a moment and said, the price was far higher than what the soldier commander said, but it was obvious that the other party rejected Ning Lang's proposal.

This made Ning Lang feel a little nerve-wracking, the other party was so demanding, so he hesitated and said, "Then you see, if I give this thing to you, can you teach me alchemy?" Or give me the knowledge to teach myself? ”

"No, your price is not enough."

Angus shook his head and refused: "Learning alchemy requires not only your own talent, but also a lot of money and knowledge to back it up, what do you think you have?" ”

"I have talent, money should be easy for me to obtain, all I lack now is knowledge."

Ning Lang suddenly understood what the other party meant, and his anger suddenly came up, but for the sake of the task, it was necessary to swallow his anger.

After a long negotiation with the other party, Ning Lang finally obtained permission from the other party to become an alchemy apprentice - to learn alchemy knowledge in 30 days.

His price was to give Angus a plastic lighter worth 30 kinddils.

This is almost equal to the price of 1 Jindir a day, which is ten times the normal tuition fee, but for Ning Lang, 30 days is exactly the deadline for him to complete the task, and a plastic lighter is nothing, if he wants, he can take out hundreds of thousands.

30 days was enough time for him to learn the basics of alchemy, after all, reading magic was a good way to deepen his knowledge, and if he consolidated his proficiency, there should be no big problem.

Of course, the whole premise is that Angus is not going to hide and tuck, so that he can't learn anything.

"Very well, then come with me, and I'll take you to meet the other apprentices."

Angus was particularly happy, and it was clear that the trade was a pleasure for him. He took Ning Lang out of the shop, closed the door and walked all the way down the street.

Angus lived in a luxurious mansion, and compared to the small alchemy shop of less than a hundred square meters just now, it was really shabby.

"This is my home, if you want to stay here, you can go outside and find a hotel."

Angus pointed to the house and said, "Of course, you don't need to worry about the rent and food, I gave it to you for free." Starting this evening, you and I will start learning the basics. ”

Ning Lang nodded yes, and under the guidance of the butler who came to greet Angus, he came to the place where he lived.

A very ordinary living room, a bed more than 20 centimeters above the ground, a clean table, and only a small stool. Together, they occupy the size of an entire dwelling - which shows how small the dwelling is.

But it doesn't matter, for Ning Lang, this is just a place to sleep, and he doesn't come here to enjoy.

"Please go to the basement after dinner, where Mr. Angus will be waiting for you."

The butler asked Ning Lang to wait here, and he went and ordered his servants to bring him today's dinner—a grilled fish, two slices of bread, a vegetarian salad, and a small bowl of broth.

It can be said that it was a very sumptuous dinner, which made Ning Lang's impression of Angus slamming the door change dramatically in an instant.

After dinner, Ning Lang followed the butler to the basement, which was very large, about thousands of square meters - this was also the alchemy processing place of Angus, where the four or five people worked overtime to make alchemy and prepare for the next day's goods.

"From now on, let's start with the most basic Fundamentals."

Angus led Ning Lang to a remote table, handed him a book with a yellowed cover, and began the first day of teaching.
