Chapter 489 [Disciple]

Chen Daolin got up early in the morning, walked out of the door and came to the living room, and saw thick smoke billowing from the kitchen, and then McQueen rushed out, coughing and running, and almost crashed into Chen Daolin's arms.

Looking up and seeing Chen Daolin's smiling face, McQueen's face turned red and hurriedly saluted: "Professor......"

"What's wrong?" Chen Daolin smiled at the smoke in the kitchen.

"I ...... I fell asleep. McQueen bowed his head.

Fall asleep?

This is unusual, most of the magicians are people with super mental power, and even many magicians have not slept at all, and have replaced them with meditation.

This guy can actually do things in the kitchen and fall asleep?

"Are you tired?" said Chen Daolin strangely.

McQueen hesitated, he looked at Chen Daolin, and his eyes seemed to be a little evasive.

Chen Daolin groaned for a while, and said, "Since you are with me, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Professor...... I, have I been a little out of business in the last two days?" said McQueen carefully.

"Why?" said Chen Daolin with a smile.

"It's almost the end of the year. McQueen cried and said, "The rest of the students in the academy are stepping up their final semester schoolwork. I still have 300 recipes to memorize, and ...... Well, I went to the college's logistics warehouse yesterday to get something, and other students laughed at me, saying that I was not doing my job. Professor, I practice necromancy, but ever since I came to you, I've been working in the kitchen all day.

I haven't been to the last class since I followed you, and Dean Carmen told me to follow you only. But...... But I missed so many schoolwork, and ......"

Looking at McQueen, who couldn't talk anymore, Chen Daolin smiled slightly: "Moreover, I didn't learn anything useful with me, right? I only let you cook and cook all day long." Or do you just go catch fish and barbecue, and you feel like you're being wasted?"

"Students, students don't dare ......" McQueen dodged his eyes.

Chen Daolin deliberately squeezed his eyes: "Or, I'll take you to rob the tomb outside the city tonight?"

"Yes, yes!" McQueen nodded with joy. But before the joy was over, Chen Daolin had already slapped him on the head!

"You're big!"

He looked at McQueen, who was holding his head with his hands, and sighed softly: "You have followed me for a few days, haven't you found that you have changed anything?"

"Change?" McQueen thought for a moment, his eyes were a little dazed, and asked tentatively, "Is the meat more fragrant?" or ...... Is your knife skill at shredded meat better?"

"Stupid!" Chen Daolin raised his hand to slap him on the head again. McQueen covered his head with clean hands and stepped back.

Chen Daolin sighed and looked at him: "Didn't you notice it yourself......?" It's a lot more human!"

"Human?" McQueen's eyes widened.

"Hmph. ”

Chen Daolin looked at him and said slowly: "Do you know what you looked like when Dean Carmen first brought you here? At a young age, there is no blood on your face, you are blue, gray, and white! If you lie down in a coffin, you don't need to make up if you play a corpse! If you put two fake fangs, you will look like a vampire alive! I think although your mental strength is good, your vitality is much weaker than that of a person of your age! If you continue like this. In another three or five years at most, you will stop studying corpses and undead, and you will already be lying in a coffin to be studied by other magicians!"

McQueen was shocked!

"The power of the undead, after all, is a kind of dark energy. Well. You may not understand the word "me", but you just need to know that all the power of the undead is against the living. One is water. If the living are in contact with the undead for too long or too long, they will be affected by this power, which will slowly corrode your own life force. A little bit of weakness goes down. How many of those necromancers have you seen are long-lived?"

McQueen stopped talking.

Chen Daolin glanced at him: "Dean Carmen said that you are one of the most talented people among all the students in the academy. Let me ask you, there is a rule in the morgue in the academy that students are not allowed to do more than one hour a day!

Naturally, there is a morgue in the Academy of Magic...... Inside are some corpses obtained by the Academy of Magic through various channels and methods, human, animal, and various magical beasts, and even aliens!

These corpses were brought and stored in a secret place in the academy by means of magic, which was used for the study of magicians.

Necromancers, and alchemists, will need to come into contact with all kinds of corpses when studying magic. Necromancy, in particular, has to deal with all kinds of corpses when looking for the power of the undead.

But among the corpses, the undead power contained in it, the so-called death breath, is the heaviest!

If it were an ordinary morgue keeper, it would be fine, but what the necromancer did was to extract the undead death aura left on the corpse, and then directly contact and study it...... The damage to the body is much greater!

The academy has a policy that in order to ensure the health of the students, they should not study in the morgue for more than one hour a day.

But a genius like McQueen, especially a young man who is obsessed with research and is bent on improving......

"Three...... Five ......" McQueen hesitated, looked at Chen Daolin's majestic gaze, and finally gritted his teeth: "Seven or eight hours......"

"Hmph, that is, you spend all the time inside every day except for eating and sleeping?" Chen Daolin sneered.

"Uh...... I don't actually sleep much, just meditate. McQueen whispered.

Chen Daolin glanced at him deeply and let out a long sigh: "Young man, of course it's good to be self-motivated. But you are young, but your vitality has been so exhausted, and you deal with corpses for seven or eight hours a day, constantly extracting the power of the undead...... You're begging for death for yourself. ”

After a pause, Chen Daolin smiled and said, "Don't you feel it yourself? You have been staying with me for the past few days, and your face is much more ruddy than before." ”

"Blushing...... It was roasted by fire in the kitchen. McQueen couldn't laugh or cry.

"Then when you sleep, or when you meditate, do you feel that you are much better awakened than before, and the symptoms of restlessness have been reduced a lot?"

“...... Well, that seems to be the case!"

Chen Daolin suddenly smiled evilly: "That, McQueen...... I'm guessing you're still a virgin, right?"

The guy immediately blushed. He bowed his head and muttered, "This...... Professor ......"

"At your age, if you haven't had a girlfriend yet, it's really pitiful. ”

"I ......" McQueen looked depressed, "...... in the academy None of the female students wanted to get close to me...... The male students didn't pay much attention to me. ”

"Do you know why?" Chen Daolin pointed to his nose: "It's because you always have a lifeless smell on your body, when I first saw you, I could smell the smell of dead corpses on your body from a few steps away!"

He patted McQueen on the shoulder: "Of course, it is important to pursue the path of magic, but your own life is more important, if you die early, where will you have the time to pursue your magical ideals? Staying with corpses for a long time is not only the vitality of the corrosion." Your mental power will also be corroded, look at you, you are young, you have no vitality at all, your temperament is taciturn, and your psychology will become more and more gloomy...... Even if you don't die for three or five years, you're going crazy. ”

McQueen looked up, his face full of gratitude: "So, professor, you are ......"

"Of course I'll teach you something. Chen Daolin said, "Since Dean Carmen has sent you to me. I'm not really going to let you change careers to become chefs. It's just that before I do that, I'm going to find a way to give you a good rest and warm up your vitality. ”

After a pause, Chen Daolin smiled and said, "I'll give you a task." Go down and go out of the academy and go to a place. ”

McQueen was overjoyed: "What did you ask me to do, Professor?!"

"Go into town, go to the market, buy groceries!"

The corners of McQueen's mouth twitched: "Buy." Grocery shopping?!"

"Yes, go to the market to buy groceries, and I ask you to spend the least amount of time in the market...... Well. At least an hour!"

"An hour?!" McQueen almost cried, "It won't take that long, will it?"

"Stupid. Chen Daolin looked at him with a smile: "Do you think that in this world, compared to the 'dead air' of cemeteries and morgues, where is the most 'angry'?"

Finally, McQueen was not stupid: "...... Wet market?"

"That's right!" Chen Daolin said with a smile: "There are many people in the vegetable market, and the feeling of vitality is the most vigorous. If you think about it, many people in this world will commit suicide, some will hang themselves in the woods, some will jump off the rooftops, and some will hide in their rooms and cut their wrists...... Have you ever seen someone commit suicide in a vegetable market?"

“...... Huh, this one, like...... Not really. ”

"That's right, a place like the vegetable market is a vibrant and lively place, even if a person has a will to die, in this environment, he will inevitably be affected by the surroundings, and the death on his body will be much lighter. Speaking of this, Chen Daolin looked at McQueen: "Now, understand why I let you go to the vegetable market, right?"

"Ming, understood!" McQueen nodded immediately, "Or...... I'm going to go now?"

"Now?" Chen Daolin suddenly pointed to the smoke-filled kitchen behind McQueen, and glared, "Why don't you go to the kitchen and put out the fire now!"

McQueen scurried into the kitchen to put out the fire.

Chen Daolin looked at this guy's back, smiled proudly, then sighed, and said, "Okay, come out, hide and eavesdrop on the side, the current students are becoming more and more unruly." ”

Behind him, a head emerged from behind the corner, with some freckles on his face, it was the alchemist Sasha.

Sasha shrugged her nose and complained, "Professor, don't be so old-fashioned, okay? It's only been a year since you entered the academy, and I've been here for three years, so when it comes to qualifications, I'm older than yours." ”

This girl is very aura, and in the past few days, she has been following Chen Daolin and has grasped that this young professor is actually very easy-going, has no shelves, and can joke with people, so she is not as restrained when she speaks.

Sasha walked up to Chen Daolin and frowned, "Professor, I heard all of your words just now. I'm not that fool McQueen, and you're going to have to fool him with those words. ”

"Oh?" Chen Daolin's smile was a little stiff.

"You let him be a cook and not teach him magic, so that you can recuperate for a few days, so that you don't have too much dead air on your body...... But if that's the case, you haven't taught me anything! I've been with you for the past few days, washing your clothes and cleaning your room. Make the bed and fold the quilt...... What reason do you give me?"

Chen Daolin laughed dryly.

Sasha sighed deliberately complainingly, and the young girl stared at Chen Daolin with a pair of eyes faintly: "If the professor thinks that my qualifications are too poor, I am too stupid, and I am too stupid to be cultivated, and I have no intention of instructing, it can only be my life, so I will pack up my things and go back to the academy to attend classes...... Professor, you don't have to be reluctant to say it, I'm still a person who knows how to advance and retreat......"

Chen Daolin suddenly glared. A slap on the head of her.

Sasha said "ouch" and lowered her head with her head in her hands.

"I didn't learn at a young age, but I learned to play this kind of trick and squeeze the teacher with words?" Chen Daolin snorted: "Of course there is a reason why I don't teach you." McQueen's problem is that he is already exhausted, and if he forcibly cultivates necromancy again, he will be trained to death! As for you......"

Sasha pouted, "What's wrong with me, Professor, people wash your socks every day!"

Chen Daolin scratched his scalp and thought for a moment: "Do you know how I felt when I saw you for the first time?"

Sasha's eyes lit up, "What do you feel? Professor, you must think I'm very talented." It's edifying, isn't it?"

"Nonsense. Chen Daolin made a straight face: "I just think that you are a little girl, your eyes are rolling, and your mind is too active." I ask you, you are also a third-year student, and I heard that you are doing well in your studies, both in formula and pharmacy. You are the best who memorize the most. But...... What about your spiritual cultivation?"

Sasha's face tightened.

Chen Daolin sneered: "I have seen your spiritual power cultivation, but it has barely reached the level of a second-level magician. You know. There are many outstanding students who have graduated from the academy, and those who have reached the level of middle-level mages! What about you? Bearing the reputation of a genius, your magic cultivation is only at the second level...... You're graduating in a year's time. When you graduate, will you be able to reach the intermediate level? If you are at the intermediate level, the minimum level is level four! Can you reach the current progress?"

Sasha whispered, "That...... I'm still young, Professor...... I'm two years younger than the other students......"

"But you're also early!" Chen Daolin said with a straight face: "I heard that you have passed the assessment of your magician qualifications in less than half a year after entering the academy, and you have reached the level of a first-class magician...... But in the next three years, you ...... Barely moved from level 1 to level 2? It's a joke!

If you say that your magic talent is too bad, that's not right. You can enter the magic academy, and your talents are all assessed. Moreover, you have been able to enter the guò magician qualification in half a year, which shows that your cultivation talent for magic power perception is absolutely outstanding. But what does it mean that you have made little progress in three years?"

"I ...... I don't know. Sasha cried with a sad face.

"It shows that you are impetuous. Chen Daolin sighed: "Actually, I have always felt that the academy is a little too impatient for your training. I've looked at your file. You seem to be average in all your subjects, that is, your talent is very good, and you can cultivate anything of any genus...... With your foundation, it is indeed the best material to follow the path of an alchemist. But you are too young to get started, and the academy has also helped you to educate you. Whether you are practical, theoretical, or magical, even those students who have graduated are not as good as you, but as a magician, the most important basic skill of a magician: magic. You're too far behind.

I actually asked the teachers in the academy, and they said that you are still young anyway, and there will always be time to slowly cultivate your magic power in the future.

But my thoughts are different from others!"

"Oh?"

Chen Daolin sighed: "I know a theory, but here, there are very few people who know it. I tell you, a person, from birth to old age and death, the most vigorous and strongest mental power, but often when he is a teenager, at this time, the things he learns have the strongest ability to receive, and he will remember them for a lifetime! But once he is past the age of twenty, his mental power begins to stabilize and will not grow.

But what about you now? You are young, but the foundation of your spiritual power has not been solid.

If you continue like this, when you are past the age of twenty, your mental strength will miss the best opportunity to grow.

When the time comes...... Maybe if you go on for the rest of your life, you will be able to practice to a mid-level mage at most. It's up to the sky.

For ordinary magicians, being able to practice to the intermediate level is already a very good result.

But you are different! You are the person that Dean Carmen values, the seed of genius in the Academy, and if a person like you stops at the middle level in the future, it will simply fail the expectations of the Academy and the Dean.

So I think it's important for you at this stage not to memorize the pharmacopoeia of potions, or to research new magic potion recipes. It's not to indulge in magic...... It's too late for you to do those things after you're twenty!

Now, it's best for you to take advantage of your young age and the stage when your spiritual power is growing most rapidly, and work hard to cultivate your spiritual power!"

"That's, then I'm ......"

"Spend at least five hours a day meditating!" Chen Daolin said coldly.

"Five hours?" Sasha's face turned white, "Meditation...... It's so boring. ”

"That's where your impetuosity comes in. However, it is normal for you to be young and impetuous. That's why you need someone to keep an eye on you. Chen Daolin sighed: "I haven't taught you anything these days, just to sharpen your impetuous temperament." Ay...... There are no alchemists in the academy, and Dean Carmen is not an alchemist herself, so she doesn't know how to train you...... Actually, speaking of which. It's true that Dean Hugo is an alchemist, but he is from Devon House, and you are from Hogwarts House, so ...... If you hadn't met me. You're really scrapped with this piece of material. ”

Looking at Chen Daolin's righteous and dignified face, Sasha suddenly rolled her eyes and said in a greasy voice: "Professor...... How do I feel that you are saying these things. It sounds reasonable, but it's always a little insincere?"

Chen Daolin's heart jumped, and he calmly glanced at Sasha: "There is so much nonsense! Hurry up and wash your clothes...... Well. After washing, meditate! Five hours, this is the homework I gave you, and you are not allowed to leave the room until you finish it!"

After a pause, he glanced at Sasha: "Do you want to study with me all the time?"

"Of course I want to!" Sasha's eyes lit up, "You're the only Saint-level master in the academy!"

"If you want to, just do what I tell you to do! But it's not so simple to really be my disciple. One month...... In a month's time, you must be at level 3 in your meditation progress! If you can't...... I don't take any waste. ”

"One month...... As long as I reach the level of magic power of a third-level mage, you, you, you, you will accept me as a disciple!!" Sasha looked excited.

"I said it!" Chen Daolin raised his head and said, "If you do it, I will personally ask Dean Carmen for someone!"

"Good!"

Sasha immediately jumped to the room: "I'm going to meditate!"

"You...... Let's go wash the clothes first!!" Chen Daolin said in his air.

Watching the little girl disappear into the door, Chen Daolin sighed.

Actually, he didn't tell a lie...... These two students are both very talented, but their respective shortcomings are also real. McQueen's body and spirit were already overwhelmed by the power of cultivating the undead, and there were already signs of danger. And Sasha is indeed too out-of-the-box, she is indeed a very smart genius, but unfortunately because she is too smart, just like Huang Rong in the novel, she can learn anything, but she lacks a little stability and perseverance, and she can't sink her mind, so she wastes the most important basic skill of a magician: magic cultivation.

Chen Daolin's arrangements for the two of them are also sincere, which is true.

Of course, there is selfishness in this - McQueen's cooking is indeed delicious. And Sasha...... Although she had washed several new clothes for Chen Daolin, she had ...... After all, now the little maid Xia Xia is not around, isn......'t it?

Chen Daolin looked at the sunlight outside, and walked out of the door to the courtyard.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps in the distance.

When I looked up, I saw an emaciated figure staggering towards me!

rushed into the courtyard, this person saw Chen Daolin, his pale face was full of excitement, and the grievances in his eyes could no longer be hidden.

He knelt down in front of Chen Daolin and shouted, "Teacher!!, please, please, please, please!Please, please, please!!

Chen Daolin narrowed his eyes, didn't speak first, helped him up with both hands, and reached out to pat the dust on his knee: "Lucius?

Tears welled up in Lucius' eyes, and he nodded vigorously and cried, "Teacher, please, me, my father, my father......"

"Governor Fritz, what's wrong with him?" Chen Daolin frowned: "Shiloh promised me to exempt your whole family from responsibility...... Did he break his promise?"

"No, no......" Lucius said with difficulty, "I, father, father was released, but, but, but he ...... He was sick, sick and dying. ”
