The first year of the course does not require the apprentices to attend every time, and there is no such thing as a roll call, as long as you have no problems and are sure to pass the year-end clearance assessment, it doesn't matter if you don't come.

That's what Adam did, and he never showed up again except for the first round.

The knowledge of medicine is to let the apprentices know the properties of various plants, and to prepare highly toxic poisons, yes, poisons, and the knowledge of medicine does not teach treatment, but only killing. However, there is also an interesting side, and through the knowledge of plants, you can create a variety of spices, which is very useful for magic cooking.

The current teaching of alchemy knowledge is close to materials science and metallurgy, and it is obvious that the core content is not taught, and the metal is smelted in a strong way, and the method of carving runes in it is just a mortal thing.

Body refining knowledge is to teach apprentices with body refining mage qualifications to refine magic into the body, which is an elective course and is not included in the final assessment. However, the refining master is a full-fledged mage, and his appearance is ...... Curious, it doesn't look like a human at all, and Adam guesses that the deeper content should include the study of blood and DNA.

Adam, who knew the assessment criteria, never showed up in the classroom again, and spent the rest of the day in the library except for a thunderous breakfast.

Reading is expensive, knowledge is expensive, this is Adam's most intuitive feeling. The reading of each book requires the payment of a different number of energy stones, and the prescribed reading time, repeated reading needs to be paid repeatedly, fortunately Adam has a computer-level memory, and he can even skip words to memorize a good place.

The library is hierarchical, and new apprentices can only read the content of the first level, and the content of the higher level cannot be read even if they have money.

But there are countless books even on the first floor, and one day, after Adam became obsessed with reading and did not count his wealth, he suddenly realized that his balance was insufficient.

There are a few old bookworms in the library, these senior apprentices are not as shallow as Adam's contemporaries, after initially amazed Adam's reading speed, they found that Adam has a terrible memory and comprehension ability, with the most rudimentary mental power qualifications, coupled with such talent, even if they can't be sure if Adam can become a mage, but at least it is no problem to become a senior apprentice like them. So they agreed that Adam had the right to speak to them on an equal footing.

Moreover, such a talent can easily gain the favor of formal mages and become their experimental assistants, which can already be regarded as promising at a low level.

"Adam, do you remember where the book "Elementary Demonic Plants and Their Properties" was placed?" Elliot Pierce was an old bookworm and a pharmacy instructor for his apprentices. Specializing in the production of strong poisons, listen to himself himself, in the last tower war, he used the poison he made to kill all six high apprentices.

"Botany bookshelves, third floor, sixth column. Adam casually reported the location, still looking at the book in his hand that he couldn't read, "The Most Basic Changes to the Fireball Rune Group".

"Oh, thanks. Elliot thanked him and was about to leave, they were used to asking Adam if they couldn't find the books they needed, and Adam didn't disappoint them, but Adam used to read books without raising his head, and this time he found Adam in a daze?

"Are you?, don't have any power stones?" asked Elliot as he leaned over to Adam.

Adam put the book back on the shelf, coldly distanced himself from Eliot, and said, "That's right. Please stay away from me, Mr. Eliot. ”

Poisonous creatures are obviously not popular with ordinary creatures, and although everyone does not reject him, they are not willing to get too close, and Adam still remembers the undesirable hormones that his body secreted violently after the first encounter with Elliot.

Elliot pursed his lips, stopped as he said, and complained, "I said that my own poison has an antidote and will not hurt you." ”

Adam was unmoved: "But it wasn't a pleasant experience. ”

"Okay, okay, you shallow people, you can't appreciate the beauty of the changes in physical properties at all. Elliot muttered and said, "Adam, I have a way for you to earn power stones, do you want to hear it?"

"Of course. ”

Elliot said in a bewildering voice: "I lack an assistant in my laboratory to record the experimental data for me, the previous fool was fired by me, and Eas's memory is definitely up to the job, how about it, do you want to help me?"

Adam suddenly remembered James's invitation before, because it was not very important, so he did not add it to the memo, and it seemed that it was the next rune knowledge course......

"Don't worry, I will never use you as an experiment, that's not allowed by the academy, just help me record the data. And the pharmacy assessment can be passed directly for you. Elliot saw that Adam did not speak, and once again induced.

It's nice to be an assistant in a lab, but the poison lab is obviously not a good choice, and Adam thought of this and said to Elliot, "Mr. Elliot, do you know Mr. James?"

"Call me Elliot, James, of course I know, he should be your meditation instructor, right?"

"Well, that's right, he invited me to his lab as an assistant on the first day. ”

Eliot understood: "Well, isn't he dead yet?"

Adam asked suspiciously, "Is it hard to find an experimental assistant?"

"Well, depending on the situation, the laboratories of the official mages are never short of assistants, and the apprentices are worse, but James's meditation laboratory is an exception. ”

"Why is he an exception?"

Elliot said, "You must have heard of his knowledge of the Mage's Armor, don't you?"

"Hmm. ”

"But in fact, the mage's armor is not so important. Well, I can't say that, I should say that the apprenticeship stage is not the most critical. The Mage's Armor is adjustable, and this adjustment can be done at any level, and the reason why James was obsessed with studying meditation during the apprenticeship stage was only because he lacked qualifications, and he only barely reached the spiritual power of a unit at the beginning, without any soul tendencies, and his elemental affinity was also very low. So he wanted to advance to the rank of official mage through pure spiritual power. ”

Elliot continued: "Before the War in the Tower, there were a few people who were in a similar situation to him to experiment, but unfortunately, those people died, and the surviving apprentices did not agree with his idea. ”

Adam learned about the longevity of his apprentices in his communication with senior apprentices, because the energy level of ether and magic is too high, and it takes a lot of money for flesh and blood and fragile souls to carry and use them, although there is spiritual power to neutralize, but it also greatly reduces the life span of apprentices, generally speaking, if there is no special medicine to prolong life, apprentices will not live for a hundred years.

Elliot concluded, "So, we all thought he was wasting his time, and the official mages in the academy weren't very supportive of him, but because his research could slightly improve the efficiency of meditation, so he didn't cut his project." ”

"That's right. Adam was thoughtful, and Eliot had a point, but Adam felt that James's research was not wrong, at least that it would be easier to get through the weak stage, and he agreed.

Seeing that Adam didn't speak, Elliot persuaded: "Adam, with your qualifications, you don't need to study how to improve the efficiency of meditation, you must know that in the apprenticeship stage, we must first ensure that we advance in a limited life, and if you are interested, you will have a lot of time to do that kind of research after becoming a full-fledged mage." ”

Elliot's advice, in addition to wanting to hire Adam, was probably sincere, and Adam thanked him seriously and said, "I'm very interested in his research direction, I need to find out more, thank you for telling me this, Eliot." ”

Elliot sighed helplessly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, whatever you want, you are always welcome in my laboratory." He had a reason to be helpless, if James's laboratory was so bleak because it had no prospects, then his experiments were because it was unpopular, and it was definitely not a good experience to be around those horrible poisonous plants and poisonous creatures every day.

Adam meets Krystal on his way out of the library.

Krystel was distressed, she was a simple Qi (wind) elemental affinity, and among the three magical rune groups left by Mage Black, she struggled to master them, except for the Wind Blade. In addition, no matter how much pressure on the academy is, it can't catch up with the life and death of the ship, and her wisdom displayed in a desperate situation can't be used, so she has to look at the pitiful balance in the identity token, and wants to find two qi magic in the library to learn.

She also saw Adam for the first time in a few days, and she didn't know how to talk to Adam because of what had happened before.

"Adam, you...... Hello. Krystal stammered.

Adam stood on the side of the road and calmly replied, "Hello." ”

"Adam, why haven't you been to class lately?

Because of isolation?

Adam looked at her strangely, wondering why she suddenly said that, with his relationship with her, it didn't seem to be to this point, right?

Thinking of this, Adam replied, "No, it's too easy. With that, he ignored her and walked straight in the direction of James's laboratory.

Leaving Crestal alone in the wind, "It's too simple? It's just..."

It was a moment before she put away her thoughts and walked towards the library, and at this time she thought that those companions who were chewing their tongues behind their backs were too ridiculous, because in Adam's mind, he was not the same kind of person as them at all.
