At ten o'clock in the evening, the last person in line in front of the apothecary workshop gate also left, and when Lorraine announced that he could leave, all the apprentices breathed a sigh of relief. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

They had been so tired all day that they had been dispensing potions almost non-stop, and they had not been idle for a moment, and even the little ones who had just become apprentices in the apothecary workshop today were very tired.

Maybe only Ark is more idle, but no one has any objections, now that the entire potion workshop has spread, Ark is the third official disciple of Lord Cologne, what an honor is this? Naturally, he has a different treatment from an apprentice.

Ark also packed up and prepared to leave the potion workshop, but he had just left the door of the potion workshop when he encountered a familiar figure around the corner of the street.

Ark paused, staring at the figure calmly.

"Ark, I'm ......"

This figure was Victor, who had been waiting here for a while, and finally got to Ark. But he wanted to stop talking, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Ark, I apologize to you, I used to be wrong, I ...... I can compensate you, fifty silver coins, all the silver coins I have accumulated as an apprentice in the Apothecary. ”

With that, Victor took out a money bag, which jingled and was full of shiny silver coins.

A strange color flashed in Ark's eyes, fifty silver coins is not a small amount, even if Victor becomes an apprentice in the potion workshop, relying on some monthly income, plus the silver coins from shops such as Old York, it is not easy to make up these fifty silver coins.

Therefore, Ark knew that Victor really wanted to reconcile, and it took a certain amount of courage for Victor to make up his mind so quickly, so it was no wonder that he was able to gain a firm foothold in the potion workshop.

What's more, Ark really didn't think about making trouble with Victor, so Ark reached out and took the money bag, nodded slightly, and then said calmly: "I won't mention your matter to Senior Brother Lorraine." ”

In just one afternoon, Ark already knew the status of Senior Brother Lorraine in the Potion Workshop, and usually the Cologne teacher would not manage the Potion Workshop, and it was all handed over to Senior Brother Lorraine, so Lorraine's words could decide the fate of the apprentices in the Potion Workshop.

With that, Ark left directly.

Looking at the back of Ark leaving, Victor finally breathed a long sigh of relief, he didn't feel so ashamed, after more than a year in the potion workshop, he deeply knew what it meant to be a formal disciple of Lord Cologne, and he and Ark were not qualified to fight at all.

Fortunately, he had the courage to rush to remedy the relationship, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

......

Yak didn't go straight home, but went to Old York's grocery store. The grocery store hadn't closed yet, Jack was still busy, and Old York was swearing, full of alcohol.

"Jack. ”

Ark shouted to Jack, who was busy, but Old York, who was scolding, suddenly looked at him and said viciously: "Ark, where are you little rabbit bitch going to be lazy?" Tell you, today's salary is gone, there is no penny, absenteeism for no reason, if it weren't for Captain Reiner's face, you would have been fucked a long time ago." ”

Old York scolded, and his expression was very fierce.

However, Ark was not afraid, the expression on his face was still the same, but he said lightly: "Don't look at Uncle Reiner's face, I came to resign today, settle my salary." ”

"You're leaving?"

Old York, on the contrary, was stunned, and he just said where he really wanted to get Ark away. There is a lot of work in the grocery store, if you hire another person, ten copper coins a month is not enough, but Jack and Ark both only have ten copper coins, and they are hard-working, where can they find such a guy?

"You can think about it, once you leave, you can't come back, now the front line is tight, and there are not many stable jobs in the city......"

Ark interrupted Old York's words and said lightly, "Give me the rest of my wages." ”

Seeing that Ark seemed determined to leave, Old York no longer persuaded him, but said viciously: "Salary? How many times have you been late this month, plus this absenteeism......

Old York began to chatter about "settling accounts" for Ark, as if Ark not only had no salary, but also had to pay Old York, and this old York's stinginess had reached the extreme.

Ark remained silent and said calmly: "I went to participate in the assessment of the apothecary workshop to recruit apprentices today, and became an apprentice in the apothecary workshop. ”

"Haha, you kid is talking big again, the apprentice of the apothecary workshop......"

Before he could finish speaking, Old York stopped at once, and his wine seemed to wake up.

Old York looked Ark up and down carefully, and finally said cautiously, "You kid has really become an apprentice in the Apothecary Workshop? I did see the Apothecary Workshop recruiting apprentices some time ago. ”

At this time, Jack also rushed over and exclaimed, "Ark, did you really succeed?"

In the morning, Ark mentioned to Jacob that he was going to try it out in the Apothecary Workshop, but Jack was still unimpressed at the time, how could the apprentice of the Apothecary Workshop succeed so easily?

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, Ark really succeeded, the status of the pharmacy workshop apprentice is much higher than that of the grocery store guy, just look at Victor, who used to be similar to Ark, but after becoming an pharmacy workshop apprentice, he can make old York be cautious.

Ark smiled and said, "Yes, I was lucky enough to become an apprentice in the Apothecary. ”

He hadn't directly said that he was a disciple, because for ordinary people outside the potion workshop, they didn't even know the difference between a disciple and an apprentice.

Old York also had to believe at this time that Ark had indeed become an apprentice in the potion workshop, so he was silent for a while, took out twenty copper coins directly from his pocket, handed them to Ark, and said with a smile: "Ark, good boy, I used to be very optimistic about you, smart and studious, and you will definitely do great things in the future." Ten of these twenty copper coins are your wages, and ten are my reward for your hard work at the grocery store during this time, and you must not forget me and Jack in the future. ”

Old York was finally generous, and Ark knew what was going on. At present, Old York and the Pharmacy Workshop still maintain a cooperative relationship, and if he offends Ark, he may be hindered and the Pharmacy Workshop breaks off the cooperation with Old York.

Therefore, Old York was generous once. Ark was not polite, and took the copper coin directly, and then pulled Jack over, he didn't want to say a word to the miser of old York.

"Jack, take these twenty copper coins, you helped me a lot at the grocery store. ”

Ark handed all twenty copper coins into Jack's hand.

"No, this is your salary, it has nothing to do with me, as long as you remember me in the future, I can't ask for this copper coin." ”

Jack hurriedly shook his head, he was a simple-minded teenager, and he would not accept a "huge sum" of twenty copper coins for no reason, knowing that these twenty copper coins were already equivalent to two months' wages for him.

"Take it, I'm now an apprentice in the potion workshop, you need this money more, aren't you my friend?"

Jack hesitated, and saw that Ark was resolute, so he didn't refuse, twenty copper coins were really important to him, and they could solve many pressing problems.

"Ark, congratulations on becoming an apprentice in the Apothecary Workshop, I really envy you, you definitely won't come back in the future, right?"

Jack asked, hesitantly.

"Don't worry, Jack, we're friends, and if I'm more familiar with the potion workshop in the future, I'll definitely let you try it too. ”

After Ark came to this world, Jack was the only one who could be called a friend, and if he could help, he would certainly be willing to help Jack within his ability.

Jack also thanked again and again, and the two chatted for a while, and the old York, who has always been grumpy and stingy, did not "roar", which can be regarded as giving Ark enough face.

After Ark left, Jack was full of envy, but he was not jealous, but silently blessed in his heart.

......

Back home, there are only two younger sisters, Amy and Aunt Amanda, and the eldest sister Celie seems to have gone to the mercenary group again.

"Ark, why did you come back so early today?"

Aunt Amanda stood up to make dinner, and Ark used to come back late at the grocery store.

Ark pondered for a moment, organizing the language in his head, and then said to Aunt Amanda, "Aunt Amanda, I actually quit my job at the grocery store. ”

Aunt Amanda's eyes widened, but then she smiled reluctantly: "It's okay to quit, old York is too stingy, find a time for your Uncle Reiner to help you find another job." ”

Ark knew that Aunt Amanda had misunderstood, so he continued: "Aunt Amanda, don't look for a job, I've already found a job. ”

"Oh, what work?"

Aunt Amanda doesn't care, what good job can a guy at a grocery store in Ark get?

"I went to the Apothecary Workshop this morning to try it out, and the Apothecary Workshop is looking for an apprentice, and I was lucky enough to be selected, and now I'm an apprentice in the Apothecary. ”

"Oh my God, Ark, you're telling the truth?"

Aunt Amanda was overjoyed, but he knew that Master Cologne was a great man, and the treatment in the pharmacy workshop was many times better than that of the grocery store guys.

It's just that the apothecary workshop has high requirements for apprentices, and many people have tried it, but they have been ruthlessly eliminated, so Aunt Amanda never thought that Arke would be able to become an apprentice in the apothecary workshop.

"It's true, Aunt Amanda, it's true! And Mr. Cologne also informed me that there might be a formal ceremony in a few days, which would require the presence of family members. ”

Ark thought about it and decided to tell Aunt Amanda the news, but he didn't mention the "disciple" because Aunt Amanda was just a housewife, and even if she did, she wouldn't understand.

Ark mainly wants to let Aunt Amanda inform Uncle Reiner through Aunt Amanda that when the time comes, the official apprenticeship ceremony must be attended by Reiner.

"There's still a ceremony, my dear Ark, don't worry, I'll inform your Uncle Reiner, and he'll find a time to come back. ”

Aunt Amanda is really excited, she has regarded Ark as her own "son" since she was a child, and now she is happy to see that Ark can become an apprentice in the potion workshop, which can be regarded as a good way out.
