Coming to a small wooden building, De Gummans smiled and pointed forward, "Sir, this is the general affairs department of the academy." New faculty reports, as well as general daily tasks, are applied here, and if you have any other needs in the future, such as applying for a real room, you can also submit an application here. β
Chen Daolin looked at De Gumans and said with a smile: "Thank you, you have accompanied me all the way, I am afraid that I will delay your time, I know that a magician's time is more precious than gold." β
"It's a pity I'm not a magician yet. De Goumans smiled modestly.
In fact, Chen Daolin had already sensed the spiritual power along the way, and observed the magic fluctuations on this De Gummans - although he was only a student, he definitely already had the strength level of a formal magician.
De Gumans then smiled and said, "I still have to go to the cadet committee, so I won't accompany you in." But in the future, if you need any help in the academy, you can always come to me. After all, I've been here for three years. β
"Thank you!"
Chen Daolin sincerely thanked the other party, and then watched De Gumans leave, then turned around and looked up at the small wooden building in front of him.
The building is not large, it even looks a little dilapidated, the walls are mottled, and even the creepers are yellow and green. The surrounding bushes are also staggered, as if no one has taken care of them for a long time.
I really don't understand that in such a place that is in charge of the daily comprehensive affairs of the entire magic academy, it is so inconspicuous.
Chen Daolin took a deep breath. After calming down, he slowly walked up the steps and pushed the door open.
When I stepped through the door and looked up again. Suddenly, the scene in front of him stunned Chen Daolin!
......
Beneath his feet was a smooth marble floor, bright enough to be used as a mirror, and as far as the eye could see, he was now in a hallway. This corridor is at least ten meters deep...... But I clearly remember that when I looked at it from the outside just now, the length and width of this small building were absolutely not ten meters!
The walls on both sides of the corridor are freshly painted, and the walls are covered with oil paintings and reliefs. There were several doors on each side of the corridor, some open and some hidden.
Chen Daolin was a little curious in his heart, and walked in step by step, only taking two steps. Suddenly, I heard a voice from beside me:
"Hello!"
Chen Daolin was taken aback. He turned his head suddenly. But I saw a red-haired parrot squatting on a stone shelf on the left side of the corridor.
This parrot has a bright coat. Just standing on the stone shelf, but looking at Chen Daolin. Just when Chen Daolin was still stunned, the parrot spoke again.
"Hello, what are you doing?"
"............" Chen Daolin was a little unsure for a while, but just looked at the parrot curiously.
It seemed that because it didn't get a response from Chen Daolin, the parrot was a little dissatisfied, it jumped on the shelf twice, and then spoke again: "Sir, please explain your intention." β
β...... Uh, are you talking to me?" Chen Daolin took a deep breath.
"Of course. The parrot nodded and asked, "Is there a third person here?"
Chen Daolin suddenly had a sense of absurdity, he looked at the bird in front of him, and couldn't cry or laugh: "That ......"
"If you want to make a request, go to the first room on the left and fill out the application form, and if you have a complaint, go to the third door on the right. If you are receiving your declaration results, please go straight to the innermost door...... Excuse me, sir, what are you doing?"
Chen Daolin just looked at the parrot curiously, and then suddenly said, "You...... It's not a bird, is it?"
"......" The parrot looked at Chen Daolin: "Is there any problem?"
"What level have you reached in the Transfiguration Technique, why did you become a bird and stay here?" Chen Daolin asked curiously. After the initial surprise, he had already probed with his mental power, and felt a faint fluctuation of magic power on this parrot, obviously this guy was by no means an ordinary bird.
β...... Level 5. The parrot suddenly lowered his voice: "Don't ask this, I made a mistake, so I was punished here to become a parrot welcome, I still have seven days to end the punishment, so before that, I am not allowed to chat with people casually." β
At this point, the parrot raised her voice again: "So, sir, what are you doing?"
Chen Daolin didn't ask any more, he suppressed the doubts in his heart, took out his identity as a court mage, and shook it in front of the parrot: "I'll handle the report of the new faculty scholar." β
"Please go inside, walk to the end of the hallway and turn left for the second door. The parrot said quickly, "Have a nice day." β
"Hehe, I also wish you an early end to the punishment. Chen Daolin smiled, and then strode inside.
Passing through the doors on both sides of the corridor, he curiously looked inside, and found that in the doors on both sides, the rooms were very spacious and bright, both the decoration and the furnishings were very neat and clean, and they were not so dilapidated and old as they looked from the outside.
The room was full of magical apprentices in silver robes, all of whom were clerks, and occasionally a few students in black robes could be seen.
Chen Daolin walked along this corridor and walked for nearly twenty meters before he came to the end, and after turning left, he found the second door.
The door was closed, and he tapped it lightly and tried to push it open.
The room was very spacious, the size of a classroom. There were more than a dozen tables in the roomβbut when Chen Daolin walked in, the room was silent.
Of course, there was no one in the room, and every table was not empty, but at this moment, the more than a dozen magic apprentices and students in the room were silent, looking in the same direction with nervous eyes.
Just on the right side of the room, there was a man standing.
A woman.
A very young and beautiful woman.
What jumped into Chen Daolin's eyes was a young woman who looked to be in her early twenties at most - to Chen Daolin's surprise, this woman was not wearing a robe!
Yes. In this place of the Academy of Magic, all the people Chen Daolin saw were wearing robes, and the difference was nothing more than the difference in color.
However, this woman was wearing a long bright red trench coat. The style of the placket is cut very close to the waist, and the hem is deliberately wide, which sets off the person's figure very slender.
The woman had long, shiny black curly hair. Falling down like a waterfall, a delicate and gorgeous face, with a straight nose, fair skin and flaming red lips in sharp contrast. Under the slender eyebrows, the corners of the eyes on both sides are slightly upturned, which is a standard phoenix eye, which looks charming and glamorous.
A standard awl face, with a pointed chin, and the arc of the face can definitely make Chen Daolin desperately pursue an awl face shape for all those people he sees in the real world. The young models who did not hesitate to come back from Korean plastic surgery were ashamed to death!
In a word. Chen Daolin has never seen such a "two-dimensional" beauty!
Her awl-faced face. It's definitely not plastic surgery - there is no such thing as plastic surgery in this world, but it has given birth to a face comparable to that of a comic book heroine.
And at this very moment, this pointy-faced beauty. His eyes widened, and his face was covered with frost. looked coldly at everyone in the room.
And everyone in the room, except for Chen Daolin, everyone looked at this beauty cautiously, as quiet as a cicada.
"Are you dumb?"
The woman's voice was crisp and pleasant, but her tone was cold, and she did not hide her annoyance and dissatisfaction, as if the sound was transmitted in the air, and ice slag would fall.
"Why didn't anyone speak?" the beautiful woman raised her eyebrows: "Isn't there anyone who bravely stands up and takes responsibility for this matter? Have you all lost your sense of responsibility? I'm really disappointed! Do you know how much loss this will bring!"
No one dared to speak, everyone hung their heads in fear or guilt, and no one dared to touch this woman's gaze.
"What about your professionalism! This is a joke! You must know that the place where you are now working is the highest institution in the field of magic, which is the most professional and strictest in the world! Every one of you can sit here has been selected and selected in the strictest way, and your professionalism should be of the highest level! But it is you who have made such a shoddy mistake! God, this is a big joke! The staff of the Magic Academy actually got the rhizomes of Tiger Leaf Grass and Babylon Grass wrong! The purchase order for the next quarter is a huge loss! How do you ask the teachers of the magic potion class to teach the students? Could it be that in the magic potions department next quarter, we have to revise the formula of the petrochemical compound decoction in the textbook! If there is no correct potion, how can the students do the experiments by themselves? Do they just memorize the formula?!"
No one spoke, and no one in the room dared to squeak except for the angry voice of the young beauty.
"Tiger leaf grass is a neutralizer, and Babylon grass is an amplifying potion! Although these two things are somewhat similar in appearance, their effects are completely opposite! Have you all lost your professional knowledge? In this case, what is the difference between you and those housewives who look at the leaves and buy vegetables in the vegetable market? I am really very disappointed in you!"
The more this beautiful woman spoke, the more angry she became, and her full chest could not help but rise and fall, but where could anyone dare to appreciate this perfect curved beauty at this moment? Everyone wished that they could bury their heads deep in the ground.
"What's the matter, don't you dare to speak?" The woman's voice grew colder and colder: "Doesn't anyone dare to stand up and take responsibility?"
The look of disappointment in her eyes grew stronger......
But at this moment, suddenly a lazy voice came.
"Compound decoction of petrification...... Maybe I have a way to fix it. β
......
Of course, it was Chen Daolin who spoke.
He stood in the doorway and watched for a minuteβa scene that reminded him of his real-world job: being a young faculty member at a school, sometimes doing wrong things, and being scolded by the head of the department.
Although I don't know who this young beauty is at the moment, judging by her age, she should be the head of the student committee in the magic academy. On the way, I seem to have heard De Gumans say that in the Academy of Magic, the cadet council has considerable power.
Immediately. Chen Daolin felt a beam of sharp eyes shoot at himβthis young woman's gaze was very sharp, and that look seemed to be able to see through people at a glance.
Chen Daolin was shrouded by this look, and he couldn't help but pause for a while, and swallowed his spit.
"What can you do? Tiger leaf grass can't be bypassed no matter what. You don't have to say replace it with something else, although there are many kinds of substitutes, but tiger leaf grass is the most economical and applicable, because it is the cheapest and easiest to find. Other alternatives are either much more expensive. Either it will affect the effectiveness and will not be suitable for students to conduct large-scale experiments, and there may not be other alternatives in the academy's inventory. β
The other party's words were very polite.
Chen Daolin smiled, he slowly walked a few steps closer, and said with a smile as he walked: "I admit that what you said is right, no matter what kind of substitute you change, there are defects." For example, the most common substitute for neutralizers: the liver powder of the Horan fish - although this thing is very suitable, it is generally used in more advanced potion formulations, which are expensive things used to make ordinary petrochemical compound decoctions. What a waste. If you let the students conduct experiments on a large scale. The cost is simply too intimidating. β
"Hmph!" the beautiful woman was noncommittal, just snorted softly.
"The liver powder of the horan fish is not good, and the stamens of the other monkey flowers. and the rhizomes of Piquewert, which are not used as alternatives to neutralizing agents. The stamens of the monkey flower can cause some exciting effects on people. As for Pikgrass, it is very strong in the fusion of water and wind magic elements, but petrification belongs to the earth type, so the effect will probably be discounted......"
Hearing Chen Daolin say this, the woman glanced at him, and suddenly seemed to smile: "Your foundation in potions is very solid, and the effects of these potions are very familiar." β
"Thank you for the compliment. Although Chen Daolin pretended to be modest, in fact, his face was a little burning - where did he memorize the recipe of magic potion for a day, all this knowledge in his mind was transmitted to him by his cheap teacher, Mrs. Shi, before he died, using the method of empowerment, and he did not spend a day of effort, and he got the magic knowledge and experience accumulated by a senior magician in his life in vain.
"No matter how familiar the recipe is, it's just a paper article. The woman's tone suddenly changed, and she became cold again: "I'm not praising you, I see that you are also a magician, as a magician, if you can't even memorize these basic potion things, then you will be ashamed of your magician badge." I don't want to hear you recite the recipe, so you just say, what can you do? β
"It's simple, since one substitute doesn't work, use a few more. Chen Daolin smiled, he looked into the other party's eyes, and spit out a few words from his mouth unhurriedly:
"Talc, patina, coca powder...... Well, if you can, it's better to add a little ......"
Chen Daolin said this, and before he could finish speaking, the woman's face had already changed!
Her face was still very indifferent at first, but as Chen Daolin reported the nouns one by one, the woman's face changed little by little, at first it was surprised, but then it turned into deep thought, and then it revealed surprise and doubt.
Before Chen Daolin finished speaking, the woman had already said quickly: "Add a little more...... Jialan?"
At this moment, Chen Daolin was stunned.
He slapped his thigh: "Yes, what I was about to talk about is Jialan!"
Chen Daolin also looked at the young woman in front of him in surprise, and the shock in his heart was extremely strong!
You must know that this recipe comes from Madame Stone's magical knowledge, and this alternative formula for neutralizing potions is one of the results of Madame Stone's lifelong research on alchemy, and she has just inherited the wisdom and wealth of her teacher.
But the young woman in front of her actually drew inferences from one another, and she just said the three-flavor potion, and she was able to quickly follow her own train of thought, immediately came up with the next step, and directly guessed the formula of the last flavor......
This kind of ability, unless you have a very high level of knowledge of potions, it is absolutely impossible!
There was still half annoyance and dissatisfaction on this woman's face at the moment, but instead of surprise, she was already surprised and happy, and her eyes looking at Chen Daolin were even more unabashedly flashing with appreciation.
"Genius idea!" the woman sighed, "talcum powder can weaken the earth element, and patina grass has a metallic substance, which can weaken the adhesion of magic. Coca stone powder has the effect of neutrally fusing a qiΔ mineral...... In addition, Jialan, a common agent that eliminates negative effects...... In this way, it is a very good neutralizing potion! genius idea!"
The more the woman spoke, the more appreciative she became, she thought for a moment, and said, "What's more." These things are all common and visible, and the price is low, and the academy should have a large stock in stock, so that's it. It's really a solution to the urgent need. β
She raised her head and looked at Chen Daolin levelly, and said slowly: "You are very good! Very good! Genius idea, I haven't seen a young mage with a unique idea like you for a long time." β
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the other people in the room again, and frowned, "Okay, now that the matter has been resolved, then at least most of the losses can be avoided." However, although this matter has been resolved, the responsibility for your work mistakes cannot be avoided, and tomorrow you will report to the committee and request punishment!"
After speaking. Ignoring the different faces of everyone in the room. The woman had already walked slowly in front of Chen Daolin.
She is tall and tall. Standing in front of Chen Daolin, almost as tall as Chen Daolin: "Who are you?"
Chen Daolin coughed and cleared his throat. With a shallow smile, he took out the palace mage identity document and badge in his hand: "Darling Chen." I'm a new faculty member reporting here, who should I give this information to?"
The woman smiled slightly, and actually reached out and took Chen Daolin's Wen JiΓ n badge, glanced at it in her hand, and smiled even more happily: "Court mage...... Twenty-four? β
After saying that, she raised her head again: "Okay, Mr. Darling, just give me your things directly." As for you...... Hmph, I'm afraid that if you let these rigid people in the academy do it, they'll send a young man like you to be a librarian -- this kind of bad thing has never happened! I will not allow such a waste of talent to happen right under my nose. β
"Uh, then I'm ......" Chen Daolin looked at the things in the other party's hand: "...... Are you going to get me to the cadet committee?"
"Cadet Council?" The woman's eyes widened, and she asked rhetorically, "You are not a cadet, how can you serve on the cadet council?" I declare that from now on, you are my new assistant teacher in the Potions course!"
"Potions...... Assistant, teaching assistant?"
Chen Daolin was stunned for a moment.
He had been a counselor in school, a teaching assistant...... Assistant Professor? Do you really want to teach yourself??!
And it's ...... To be a teaching assistant for the person in front of you?
She's a professor?!
This, who is this woman?!
"Your expression now is as if you have just swallowed a packet of absinthe. Boy!"
The woman smiled softly, full of charm and beauty.
But what happened next made Chen Daolin completely lose interest in appreciating beauty.
The woman stretched out a hand to Chen Daolin: "Introduce yourself, young man, my name is Sully Carmen, I am currently a professor of Potions at the Academy of Magic, the head of the Hogwarts branch, and the chief member of the House Committee. You can call me Professor Carmen, or call me Dean Carmen...... But remember, please don't call me Ms. Carmen, because I hate it. β
Card, Carmen?!
Dean Carmen?!!
Legendary...... Duke Tulip's secret relative?Shawdel's mother?!
Chen Daolin is completely messy!
Looking at the woman in front of him...... Dressed in red fluttering, glamorous as a peach and plum, with an outstanding demeanor, no matter whether you look horizontally or vertically, up and down, she will never be more than twenty-five years old!
Dean Carmen?!!
Shouldn't this kind of boss-level character be the kind of old lady with gray hair and old-fashioned appearance and wearing a solemn robe?!
Hell, this Carmen looks even more pink than her sons!!
β............β
(I think I finally understand why Du Weiwei's father fell in love with this woman back then.) Where is this woman, it's clearly a female goblin!!)
......
Carmen was probably used to being looked at so in amazement by people she was meeting for the first time. So she patiently endured Chen Daolin's surprised gaze, and just stood there quietly - while Chen Daolin looked at her, Carmen was also carefully observing the young man.
It looks quite pleasing, of course, Carmen doesn't care about Chen Daolin's appearance. She was concerned about the formula of the neutralizing potion that Chen Daolin had just said. She is a professor of Potions, a great expert in this field, and in the magical field of the entire Roland Empire, Carmen can definitely rank in the top three in terms of Potions attainments, which she has always been quite confident in.
However, although the formula that Chen Daolin reported just now is extremely simple, it is whimsical -- although it is just an ordinary formula, it can be seen in the eyes of a great expert like Carmen! This kind of unconventional thinking looks as simple as piercing a layer of window paper, but when you think about it carefully, this unconventional way of thinking is the most valuable!
The young man in front of him had a solid theoretical knowledge of potions, and he could have such valuable ideas that broke the rules - Carmen had always believed that the most important thing for a so-called outstanding talent was to have ideas beyond ordinary people.
There is no doubt that the young man in front of him aroused Carmen's interest and appreciation. Such an outstanding young man, she naturally had the idea of recruiting her to be an assistant.
"Alright, Mr. Darling, from now on, you're the Potions Assistant for the Hogwarts Branch. β
After Carmen waited for Chen Daolin to come back to his senses, he casually threw Chen Daolin's text and badge on a table next to him: "I still have some things, and someone will naturally handle the rest of the formalities for you." β
As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Daolin, stepped past his side, and walked to the door.
Chen Daolin was stunned - he still couldn't help but wonder if he was being tricked.
Carmen? A young girl who looks like she's in her early twenties could be Carmen?!
Head of Hogwarts Branches?The de facto number one boss of the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?!
"So, what are you waiting for?"
Just when Chen Daolin was in a daze, Carmen was already standing at the door, frowning and looking at Chen Daolin impatiently: "Didn't you hear my words clearly?"
β...... Uh, what?"
"I said, your formalities, naturally someone will handle it for you. Carmen frowned.
"Oh...... Oh, okay. Chen Daolin stood there, helpless.
"So...... What are you waiting for?" a flash of dissatisfaction flashed in Carmen's eyes: "My time is precious!"
"Huh, what do you mean?" Chen Daolin said.
"Nonsense! You're my teaching assistant, of course you're going to follow me!You'd better be quick, I've got twenty-one trials to finish in the afternoon!"
