Chapter 11: Disciples
Ark knew that Cologne was referring to the seventh potion, which had fifteen ingredients that ordinary people couldn't even remember, let alone prepare. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
If it was really said that it was deliberately wrong, Ark would probably have to be "sliced and studied" by Cologne.
Therefore, Yak could only grit his teeth and say, "Master Cologne, the seventh potion is too difficult, or it can be prepared after many exercises a few times. ”
Although Ark resolutely denied it, the old man Cologne looked disapproving, he pursed his lips, looked at Ark, and said meaningfully: "Come on, just your little bit of caution, and you have learned to hide clumsy, you are just an apprentice, just come into contact with potions, what can you hide?
"Uh......"
Ark was a little speechless, and Lord Cologne actually saw through his careful thoughts at a glance, making him a little speechless.
Seeing that Ark didn't speak, Cologne stood up and said proudly, "Little one, it's really good that you can know how to hide at a young age. But don't think too demonic, my eldest disciple and second disciple didn't perform worse than you at the beginning. ”
Ark understood what Cologne meant, that his "cleverness" was nothing at all, and that there were still people who could do better than him. However, Ark didn't think so, the reason why he performed so well was not actually his own ability, but equivalent to "cheating", relying on his brain.
If he really continues, relying on his brain, he can formulate even the most complex potions. But these words, Ark naturally did not speak, but remained silent.
Cologne seemed to be very satisfied with Ark, and then asked with a solemn expression, "Would you like to be my disciple?"
"Disciple?"
Ark was slightly stunned, could it be that the apprentice in the potion workshop was not a disciple?
As if to see Ark's doubts, Cologne explained, "There is a difference between a disciple and an apprentice, and the apprentice has only mastered a few superficial potions to help the potion workshop run normally. As for the disciples, they can learn everything from me, and as long as I know, they will definitely pass it on to the disciples. At present, I have only accepted two disciples, and Lorraine is one of them, but he is the second disciple I have accepted, and if you agree, he will be my third disciple. ”
Although I don't know what the difference is between a disciple and an apprentice, there is no doubt that the status of a disciple is definitely higher than that of an apprentice, and just looking at Lorraine seems to be the head of all the apprentices.
Wasn't Ark coming to the potion workshop just to be able to learn the preparation of potions, and now that he can become a disciple with a higher status than an apprentice, and can also learn all kinds of potion preparations, what reason does he have to refuse?
"Lord Cologne, I do. ”
Ark replied excitedly.
"What was your name just now?"
Ark also reacted, and hurriedly changed his words: "Teacher." ”
Cologne nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, from today onwards, you will be my third disciple." However, my acceptance of disciples is not the same as apprenticeship, I still need a ceremony, and when the time comes, I will notify your family, and after holding a formal apprenticeship ceremony, you can be regarded as my real disciple!"
"Disciple understands!"
Although Ark said that he understood, he actually had some doubts in his heart, wasn't it just to become an official disciple of Cologne?
But this is Cologne's decision, and Yak can only accept it.
"Okay, go out and find your second senior brother Lorraine, he will arrange for you to work in the potion workshop. ”
Cologne waved his hand, and Yak finally breathed a sigh of relief, quickly saying goodbye and turning to leave.
After seeing Yak turn to leave, Cologne, who had always had a serious face, couldn't help but show a smile, and muttered happily: "This kid is alert enough." He certainly hadn't touched potions, but he was enough to make so many potions at once, and none of them went wrong, and the only thing that went wrong was deliberate, such a talent was simply amazing......!
......
Ark arrives at the Apothecary Workshop and sees Lorraine arranging an apothecary apprenticeship. Apprentices who have just entered the Potion Workshop are not able to dispense potions, all they can do is to give the apprentices who have been in the Potion Workshop for a longer period of time, such as taking some potion materials and the like.
Generally, it takes at least three months or even half a year before you can really start dispensing the pharmacy.
"Senior Brother Lorraine. ”
Ark shouted to Lorraine.
Lorraine turned around, and when she saw that it was Ark, she groaned slightly and said, "The teacher called you over alone, is he going to accept you as a disciple?"
Ark nodded, Lorraine was also a disciple of Cologne, so there was nothing to hide.
"In this way, you will be the third child in the future. ”
A smile appeared between the corners of Lorraine's mouth, although Lorraine was very handsome, but the smile he showed at the moment faintly made Ark a little hairy.
"Senior Brother Lorraine, what should I do?"
Ark looked at the other apprentices who had been assigned tasks, but he had no tasks.
"You have to hold an apprenticeship ceremony after a while, and the teacher will officially teach you to prepare potions after the apprenticeship ceremony, as for this period of time, you don't have to do anything deliberately, just follow the older apprentices to learn the understanding of pharmacy materials, the most basic ability of our pharmacists is to be able to understand a variety of pharmacy materials. ”
After a pause, Lorraine beckoned to an older apprentice, and then the older apprentice hurried over and shouted respectfully, "Second Senior Brother, what's the matter?"
"Kerry, you should bring Ark to recognize some potion materials recently, Ark will hold a ceremony at the decisive time and officially become a disciple of the teacher. ”
Lorraine said calmly. However, hearing the news, Kerry was surprised, and looked at Ark carefully, but he didn't expect that Master Cologne, who had not accepted a disciple for a long time, actually accepted another disciple, who was still an apprentice who had just joined.
In the apothecary workshop, the identities of apprentices and disciples are almost worlds apart, and there is a huge chasm that cannot be bridged. Therefore, Kerry also looked very polite, nodded and said, "Third Senior Brother can ask if there is anything he doesn't understand, I must know everything." ”
Ark also gradually understood how noble his status as a formal disciple was in the potion workshop, directly surpassing the apprentice, and even such an older apprentice had to call himself "senior brother", which was the difference between a formal disciple and an apprentice.
Of course, there are many benefits to being a formal disciple, which need to be slowly understood by Yak in the future.
After the apprenticeship was arranged, Lorraine disappeared, and usually the potion workshop was run by a few older apprentices, as for Lorraine, most of the time he stayed in the laboratory to make new potions, similar to Cologne.
Ark would love to visit the laboratory, but he had just arrived at the Potion Workshop, and he was not yet qualified to enter the "important place" of the laboratory, which was not allowed even to enter the apprenticeship, and only Ark was eligible to enter the laboratory after a formal apprenticeship ceremony.
For now, Ark followed behind Kerry, listening to Kerry explain to him the many potions in the potion workshop. Ark had been exposed to a lot of potions in Old York's grocery store before, but where was there such a complete set of potions in the workshop? And Kerry explained to him in detail the effects of various materials.
A pharmacist must first understand the characteristics of the materials used in the pharmacy, otherwise the preparation of the pharmacy may go wrong, these are the lessons of Kerry's experience as a pharmacy apprentice for so many years.
The potion workshop is actually very busy, especially during this time, there are more wounded on the front-line battlefield, and some potions are in short supply, so almost every apprentice in the potion workshop is hurrying to prepare some simple potions.
Even the potion apprentices who have only joined today have been assigned tasks, either to sift through potion materials or to give hands to older potion apprentices, in short, it is drudgery.
Only Ark can wander around the potion workshop at will, and he will not be harshly criticized, because some news has already come out of Kerry's mouth that Lord Cologne intends to accept Ark as an official disciple, and he will be the "third senior brother" of the potion workshop from now on.
With this identity, all the apprentices naturally didn't dare to say anything, and even looked at Ark with envy in their eyes, they had been in the potion workshop for so long, and naturally knew how harsh Master Cologne was about accepting a formal disciple. However, once you become a full-fledged disciple, the benefits are naturally unimaginable, and they are far from being comparable to those of apprentices.
Victor is also in the potion workshop, and he is now able to take charge of himself and make simple potions. At this moment, Victor no longer had hatred and unwillingness in his gaze when he looked at Ark, but was replaced by a trace of deep fear.
Offending Lord Cologne's official disciple would be a catastrophe for Victor's apprentice, and as long as Ark blew a little bit on Lorraine, Victor would have to get out of the potion workshop.
Therefore, Victor was afraid, he used to just think that Ark was a grocer with a low status, and he was qualified to sneer. But now that Ark has been accepted as an official disciple by Lord Cologne, and his status is already above him, what qualifications does he have to sneer?
However, Yak didn't target Victor, he was a human being in two lives, and he naturally knew Victor's mentality very well, but he was just a complacent teenager, just let Victor restrain himself in the future, and it was not an intractable grudge.
After a brief introduction to the potion workshop, Ark knew that he was not able to dispense potions yet, not to mention that he had very few potions, and the potions prepared by these potion apprentices in the entire potion workshop were just simple healing potions.
As for the potions that enhance physical fitness, they are the top secret of the potion workshop, and only Lord Cologne and Brother Lorraine can make them.
Ark couldn't get his hands on those precious potions, so he simply focused all his energy on the potion materials. Take advantage of this time to fully understand the various medicinal materials and fully understand the characteristics of various medicinal materials. It would have been easier for him to actually start dispensing potions.
