Chapter 209: Student
In the hall, Chrissy left satisfied, as if she had received a satisfactory answer.
Artimus stood in place, looking at Chrissy's back with a pensive expression.
For some reason, he suddenly had the feeling that he had fallen into a pit.
But it shouldn't.
On the bright side, the conditions that the other party has set for themselves are quite good, and they are good in every aspect.
What went wrong with that?
"Be careful."
Standing still, he thought for a moment, then decided to be careful.
However, after some contact, the reason why Chrissy came to Artimu, he had already guessed.
If nothing else, it's for the sake of the elven royal bloodline on his body.
Chrissy also has the blood of the elven royal family, but it is not rich, at least not as rich as that of Artimu.
Yadimu can feel this, and the other party can also think about it.
The elven bloodline's sense at this point is unusually strong.
Elven ruins, elven royal blood. That makes sense.
However, Yadimu always felt that the other party should be hiding something.
"Forget it, don't think about it yet."
After a moment of thought, Artimu put aside his thoughts for a moment, then shook his head.
No matter what plans and plans the other party had, he still decided to agree first.
At least take the benefits first.
And just like that, a few days passed.
Just half a month later, Yadimu proposed to leave.
"You're leaving?"
In the apothecary, Terra looked at Artimu in surprise, as if surprised by his decision, "Why? ”
"Give me a reason."
He seemed to be quite dissatisfied, and looked at Yadimu in front of him, and his tone gradually became unkind.
"I don't seem to be obligated to explain to you as agreed."
Yatemu didn't care about Terra's tone, but smiled, "I'm just here to help." ”
Terra stared at Artimu, as if trying to see through his entire mind.
However, being stared at by him like this, the expression on Yadimu's face was quite calm, as if he didn't feel anything abnormal.
This relaxed and calm attitude made Terra frown.
So, he snorted coldly, and then spoke: "I don't know what made you make this decision, but according to the previous contract, you still have three days to serve. ”
"Now that you are leaving early, according to the contract, I have a reason not to pay your reward."
"You have to think about that."
In his heart, he still didn't want Yadimu to leave.
No matter how disdainful and contemptuous the tone usually is, in the end, the apprentice of Artim is still quite useful, so much so that Terra doesn't want to let go easily.
If he could, he still hoped that Artimu would stay.
"Yes, I understand."
Yadimu smiled and said indifferently, "In that case, then the money should be given to you." ”
Money or anything, Yadimu doesn't care.
He wasn't here for the money, but for the experience.
Now that it's almost all there is to learn, and there are better opportunities, it's time to leave.
"As the last thing to see before parting, here are some suggestions for you."
Standing still, he glanced at Terra before speaking, "If you really want to recruit an apprentice, you might as well increase the reward offered." ”
"With all due respect, the price you're offering doesn't look like hiring a senior potion apprentice, but rather hiring a handyman."
"In addition, if you can, you can control your temper, and maybe have a few more friends, after all, not everyone is as good-tempered as I am."
"This is my last piece of advice."
After saying this, the face of the middle-aged man in front of him suddenly turned pale.
However, Yadimu didn't care, just clapped his hands and turned around and left.
Walked all the way to the apothecary, where there were already people waiting for him.
"Oh, it looks like you have a lot of opinions about that guy too."
Chrissy stood outside the apothecary room and looked at Artimu with a smile on her face: "From what I know about him, what you just said is enough to keep him awake for several days. ”
"How did you come up with those words?"
She was a little curious.
"How did you think of that?"
Artemu's face was full of surprise, and he looked at Chrissy as if he was looking at a magical creature: "Isn't this telling the truth?" ”
Chrissy was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"It's kind of interesting."
She said.
After a while, she regained her composure, and looked at Yadimu, who was standing there with a calm face and motionless, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless: "I said, don't you have a sense of humor?" ”
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Miss Chrissy."
As he spoke, Yadimu was still sorting out his personal belongings: "But compared to that thing, I think it's the potion experiment that appeals to me more." ”
"Well, another boring man."
Chrissy waved her hand.
As she spoke, Artimus had already put things in order.
Then they left the place and gradually moved to another place.
In the process, Yadimu seemed calm, but remained vigilant throughout the process.
After all, Kaiyue City was a strange place to him, and Chrissy was not someone he could fully trust.
That being the case, vigilance is necessary.
At his waist, he wore a long sword, but it looked like an ornament to a large extent.
This was specially purchased by Artim in the market, and the materials were quite good, even better than the sword he had before him.
For the sake of this sword, he almost exhausted the savings of these months.
If the timing was right, he wouldn't mind finding someone to try the sword's power.
In the end, however, Chrissy did not lead him to a hidden and shady corner, as Artimus had thought, but led him directly to a public shop.
This made Artimu somewhat disappointed.
Standing where he was, he looked up.
The surrounding scene suddenly reflected his seriousness.
The place looks a little old, and it looks like it belongs to an old street or something.
But despite this, the surrounding area is very lively, and the surrounding roads are quite open, so it doesn't look like a good place to do bad things.
Looking up, in front of him, the name of the apothecary hut appeared, which seemed to be the name of the shop.
"Here we are."
Chrissy looked back at Artimus to indicate that he had reached the end, and then found that Artimus was looking at her with a rather disappointed look.
This kind of look made her feel a little strange, and she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”
"Is there anything dirty on my face?"
"No, there isn't."
Yadimu shook his head and returned to normal: "Please take me in." ”
Chrissy didn't say much and led Artimus directly into the hut.
Inside, a unique sense of shade comes over you.
It's eerie all around, and it feels like there's a block of ice here, which makes it very cool.
It's a pretty good feeling.
At this moment, it is summer, and the temperature in Kaiyue City is also very high, although it does not have much impact on Yadimu, but it is a little uncomfortable after all.
But it's much better in this place, it's quite comfortable everywhere.
But apart from this advantage, the rest are all defects.
Yadimu looked around, looking at the rows of chaotic cabinets around him, and the various kinds of colorful potions that looked like poisons, and couldn't help but fall silent.
This shop. Something.
"Granny Leila."
Chrissy shouted inside, and an old man came out of it.
"It's Chrissy."
Artimus looked up at the old man in front of him.
It was a rather simple old man, wearing an apron, and he seemed to be quite healthy, but his eyes were a little cloudy, and his hair was gray.
On her body, a somewhat strange aura filled her body, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
"That's who I told you before."
Chrissy looked at the old man in front of her and introduced her with a smile.
The old man named Leila couldn't help but look up.
She stood there, looking Yadimu up and down, and after a moment, she nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Yes, a beautiful girl."
Chrissy's face froze: "Mother-in-law, this is a boy."
"Huh?"
The old man was a little surprised: "Really? ”
"I'm sorry."
She looked at Yadimu again, and then solemnly apologized to Yadimu: "There is something wrong with my eyes, and I often see things wrong, I hope you don't introduce the child." ”
"Granny Leila's eyes were cursed when she was young, so her vision was severely affected."
Looking at Artim in front of her, Chrissy hurriedly explained.
"It's okay."
Yadimu nodded, indicating that he didn't care.
He looked carefully into the old man's eyes, and found that her eyes were a gray and cloudy color, and there was a faint strange aura in them.
Those strange aura on the other party's body seemed to come from the other party's eyes.
The aura of the curse remained.
"I heard from Chrissy that you want to learn about pharmacists?"
Leila looked at Artimu, her face showing a little expectation, "Would you like to be my student?" ”
"I can give you all the knowledge I have."
Student?
Yadimu was stunned.
This was somewhat unexpected.
Before, he thought that coming here was the same as under Terra, just a different apothecary, and he was still working as an apprentice.
I didn't expect the other party to directly accept him as a student?
This is not surprising.
A student is not the same as an apprentice.
The apprentice is just an assistant, more of an employment relationship, while the student goes a step further and is considered a successor.
Generally speaking, the relationship between the teacher and the student is quite intimate and can even be inherited to a large extent.
For example, the relationship between Edward and Artimus is such a lineage.
However, it is precisely because of the intimacy of this relationship that, generally speaking, those inheritors will not accept students easily, but will carefully investigate them, and even arrange many tests, and then it is possible.
That's what Edward had done to Adimus before.
And now, the other party hasn't done anything, so he's ready to take him in as a student?
And this kind of good thing?
Artimus couldn't help but be silent, distracted by the sudden change.
But his silence was misleading.
"Please don't mind the conditions here."
Seeing that Artimu was silent, Leila hurriedly spoke: "Although my conditions here are simple, there are some things, as long as you are willing to learn, you can always learn something."
"I promise to teach you everything I know, so that I can bring my heritage to the coffin."
"You're mistaken."
Listening to the old man's words, Yadimu couldn't help but shake his head: "I don't mind, but I have some scruples......"
He told the other party about his scruples when he already had a teacher.
It would be nice to have an extra pharmacy teacher out of thin air, but Artimu already had Edward as a teacher.
Theoretically, he was now a member of the Griffin School.
Artimus had no intention of abandoning the Griffin School.
No, it was precisely because of this that he was somewhat concerned in his heart, afraid that it would lead to some problems.
But listening to his explanation, Leila just smiled: "You don't have to think about it that much."
"When I'm a student, I don't need you to leave your previous school."
"Learning potions and learning to fight, it's not in conflict, is it?"
She smiled and said, "I hope to take you as a student, purely as a pharmacist, as for the combat side, my old woman is not good at it, and I will not teach you."
"In that case, there's no problem."
Yadimu nodded, indicating that he had no other questions.
Anyway, since the other party didn't care about this issue himself, then Yadimu naturally didn't need to say more.
After all, that's exactly what happened.
The Griffon School inherits the knightly path, which does not conflict with the tradition of the apothecary.
In any case, he would have no problem finding a pharmacist to be his teacher.
"Please follow me."
Confirming Adimu's intentions, Lyra looked quite happy and hurriedly walked in with Adimu.
Soon, they left the place and went deeper into the room.
There seems to be more variation there.
"Ellie, come out and have a look."
Lyra walked in front of her, shouting in front of her, as if by someone's name.
After a few moments, a girl came out of the inner room.
She stood in the distance and beckoned to the place, "Grandma, I'm here."
Moments later, the men officially met.
"This is my granddaughter, Ellie, who is also a member of this potion hut."
Leila looked at the girl in front of her with a smile and introduced to Artimu: "This is Artimu, a nice young man."
"He'll stay with us for the rest of the year."
"You're the new apprentice?"
Ellie looked at Artimu with some curiosity, and couldn't stop looking there.
