Chapter 142 The Price of Growth

"Weather Vane Bluegrass" is not only the learning material of Mystic Art, but also the spell casting materials, except that each cast requires only some diluent of plant extracts.

“This plant from the old continent went extinct hundreds of years ago. Chemistry Academy has a nursery planted by hand, but the next harvest is not until two years later. You are in luck.”

Professor Garcia said.

"Good luck? So, a whole season."

Shade's mind pulled back from the doctor, and he looked towards the professor.

"About thirty years, you just happened to meet the twenty-eighth year, and you are really lucky. The growth period of this strange plant is not very long, you may not know much, usually come It is said that the plant materials used by the ring warlocks do not bloom every year and bear fruit every year."

Shade somehow thought of the story of the monkey and the peach, he shook his head to disperse After refocusing, the professor said with a smile:
"No kidding, although the old continent's plants are extinct, the new continent has this strange plant. The Academy has already picked it up through the channel, and it will be available next month. You bring it."

"Okay then."

Shade is a little disappointed, but he accepts the fact that he can still wait for a month.

Now that I have chosen Mystic Art, I want to return the library catalog, but the professor asked him to read it for a week and return it with Miss Anat, so that the next time I choose, I don't have to think too long It's time.

The above is the award given by the Academy to Shade, and as a teacher who guides Shade in the course, Professor Garcia is very satisfied with the young detective, thinking that he has boundless prospects.

Therefore, Professor Garcia is willing to help him in his study:
"In August, I will have an elective course "Folding Space", which mainly focuses on large ceremony locks and rare Mystic Art fan lock. Although this kind of ceremony is very complicated, it is impossible to use it below ten rings, but it will be very helpful for your future study. The specific time of the course has not yet been set, and it will be notified when the time comes.”

This is equivalent to opening an elective course for free to Shade, Shade immediately wanted to thank him, but was stopped by Professor Garcia:
"It's your talent that I see, Mr. Hamilton, the way around the warlock you've just been Let's start walking, I hope to see you in the Academy one day, I believe there will be that day."

"Since this is said, Professor Garcia, can I apply to see the Academy in advance? "The Book of Ascension"?"

Shade asked cautiously, but Professor Garcia was not surprised, but touched the chin and asked:

"The reason? Why apply in advance? ?"

"Because I think my progress may be faster."

"Well, you can write an application report when you go back, directly from your poem manuscript paper. If the application is approved, the result will be given to you next Saturday. Although the general ring warlock progress is very slow, but some people have innate talent, but pay attention, promotion does not mean that you have mastered the power, Mystic Art's research is It will take time."

Professor Garcia gave a warning, and Shade immediately said he understood.

In addition to these things, Professor Garcia also asked about Dr. Schneider's performance in the Lakeview Manor incident for the Student Management Office.

The doctor didn't misrepresent his experience in his report, so Shade has nothing to say. As for the suspected sulfur smell he smelled, he didn't say it.

Actually, even Professor Garcia doesn't care about it, and he's not from the Student Administration. He even quietly told Shade that he didn't have to take this task so seriously, he still had to focus on his studies around warlock, and just run away when he encountered danger. Professor Sanchez's task can be fooled by regularly writing a report that everything is fine.

It seems that the St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy, both students and professors, is very good at writing reports and dealing with things.

Shade did not forget to ask questions about three wishes before Professor Garcia left. The story has been resolved, and now he still needs to address growth and strength:

"Professor, is there a way to make an ordinary person, probably a child, suddenly have power, and without paying the price. Too big The price of it."

"Did you encounter something strange?"

Professor Garcia asked, but didn't ask much. Correspondence ring warlock has always encountered a lot of things, This is part of growing up:

"No, strength comes at a price, and the price of ring warlock is the 'alternative me' that accompanies a lifetime and the risk of losing control at any time. If you do encounter Strange things, let the ring warlock in the same group deal with it, maybe the strange relics are out of control."

Shade nodded, and asked:
"Then, is there a way to make a child suddenly Growing up?"

"Of course there is, but if there are no side effects, then only short-term physical growth can be achieved. Many medicines can achieve similar effects."

Professor thought for a moment :
"Take a pen and record it, this is the formula of the potion."

Shade took out the notebook he carried with him from his pocket, and the pointed-eared professor dictated:

"The stamens of the nine-star needle-leaf flower are 5 ounces, the genetic material of the barefoot fire ape is nine drops, the feces and saliva of the adult fire tongue goat are 2 gallons each, and two live star springs are juiced and stored at a constant temperature, and three of different genders and ages are stored. Ordinary person's earwax, eye wax, hair, blood in any amount, green sticky phlegm of a hybrid animal of a horse and a donkey 3 gal. Use the spoiled and sour milk to prepare the potion, add it in the order I said, clockwise after each addition Stir for 3 weeks, more or less. Don't configure it in an environment where the temperature is below freezing, otherwise it will explode, don't forget to add some honey."

"Honey?"

Shade, who lowered his head to record, asked in surprise, feeling that his stomach was uncomfortable.

"Yes, the name of the potion is the price of growth. According to the amount I said, it can take effect for about ten minutes. If you don't add honey, think about these ingredients, and then think about the taste. "

Professor Garcia shrugged:

"You wouldn't want to know. These materials are relatively common, and you can ask that Augustus priest to help you make them, he's not Chemistry Academy?"

"Yes. Actually, it sounds weirder with honey."

Shade nods, but he doesn't know the potion or the potion's raw material. , whether it can be brought into the past time and space, and whether these things belong to "extraordinary items" is actually difficult to define. But it's easy enough to have August priest help configure and prepare additional materials. He can try to carry raw materials and finished medicines, even if it doesn't work, maybe the saint can give the materials.

"I'm very optimistic about you, Mr. Hamilton. If you want to go on the next time exploration, remember to report to the Academy first."

Professor Garcia was about to leave, but his warning was Reminds Shade that although the Key of the Fifth Age-1068 in hand has not been completed, there may be other ways to get the Time Key.

He can take the opportunity to go to another time in the past to test the Ancient God quest he encountered, whether it is a small probability event, or is it really every time he will be attacked by that time.

The Ancient God watched.

It's just the recommended time exploration frequency of the historical Academy, not more than Once a month, so Shade can't get a new key from the Academy at present.

After looking thoughtful to send Professor Garcia away, Shade went to the second floor reception room to continue the conversation.

Dr. Schneider, who was in his pajamas, also changed during Shade's conversation with Professor Garcia. He looks pretty good now, and he doesn't look like he was dying a few hours ago.

As soon as Shade opened the door, he heard the doctor give a "speech" about the use of the £1,000 fund in a loud and enthusiastic manner. I don't know if the effect of Academy's potion is too strong, or the effect of 1,000 pounds is too strong, the doctor's spirit is simply excited now:
"Shade, the thing on your side is over? Sit down."

The blue-eyed psychiatrist greeted Shade with a smile and sat down, then asked Shade if he had any items or knowledge that he needed to purchase at the St. Byrons Library recently. After getting a negative answer, the doctor patted his thigh:

"You see, everyone has nothing to buy at the moment, and the validity period of this money is the end of this year, and no one will have to pay tuition fees. , so we're going to ask for the money."

"Can it be done?"

Shade asked curiously, sitting next to Augustus priest.

"Sure."

Augustus priest touched the chin, eyes slightly narrowed:
"But it takes some skill."

" There will also be some wear and tear."

Miss Luyesha also said, it seems that it is not the first time they have done such a thing.

"How much can I withdraw from 1,000 pounds?"

Shade asked again, planning his expenses in his mind.

This time, Miss Anat gave the answer. The female warlock is good at divination, but also lacks money:
"The speed and reliability of different methods are different, we prefer to be more secure, In half a year, I raise up to 200 pounds a month. In this way, 1,000 pounds can probably get a figure of 910 pounds."

Although the loss is one tenth, this number is quite powerful. . Compared with the high consumption at Academy, it is worthwhile to withdraw even if there is a loss.

"You guys really have a way."

Shade couldn't help but admire, the old priest patted Shade's shoulder with a look of emotion:

"youngster, Sooner or later, you will have your own way.”

The doctor will perform the operation of withdrawing the 1,000 pounds in about four times. Correspondingly, every time after getting the money, Shade, Miss Anat, Dr. Schneider, Miss Luisa, and Auguste priest will share the account according to the ratio of 2.5:2.5:2:1.5:1.5.

Shade and Miss Anat got more, because the former killed Lady La Soya, and the latter destroyed the ceremony node where Evil God came. The doctor takes 0.5 more because the money is operated by him.

There is no opinion on this way of dividing money, and the doctor said that he will probably be able to get the first money later this month.

Thinking about it this way, Shade will probably be able to benefit from the 1,000 pounds around 220 pounds, plus the remuneration from Miss Galina and the purse of Detective Sparrow, in just two weeks, Shade has been going to receive relief food since he first came to this world. The prerequisite for steadily moving towards the middle class is that he wins the card game on Sunday and gets a job that does not require work as introduced by Miss Galina.
