This wizard only wants to take students.

Chapter 35 What a good student!

"Hiss..." Lucian retreated tactically and suddenly felt that Carly's figure was somewhat unfamiliar.

It seemed as if it was covered with a layer of golden light, making it extremely dazzling.

After shaking his head vigorously, Lucian finally got rid of these strange thoughts in his mind. However, when he looked at Carly, who seemed a little restrained at the moment, his smile unconsciously became more amiable.

You have to know that for Lucian now, reverence is as precious as magic stones, or even more precious.

After all, Lucian got some replenishment after killing Apollo. At least he was not as tight on magic stones as before.

But after upgrading the system, Lucian now needs to invest a large amount of reverence into the system's identification module to accelerate his learning and progress in alchemy.

From this perspective, Carly herself is Lucian's most valuable production resource at the moment, no doubt about it.

Thinking of this, Lucian felt that he needed to do something and deduct some respect points from the "little rich woman" Carly.

Coincidentally, there was a wizard robe that he had just repaired next to him. Lucian originally planned to keep it for a while and give it to Carly as a reward when she performed well, but now for the sake of reverence, Lucian was very flexible and adjusted his principles.

"Here, this is for you." Lucian smiled and handed the wizard robe to Carly.

"Thank you, Master Lucian." Carly subconsciously stretched out her hands and took the wizard robe handed to her by Lucian, but soon she realized that this wizard robe was unusual.

"Master Lucian, this..." Carly felt that the wizard robe was really hot and hurriedly wanted to return it.

She knew that Lucian was a little tight on money. Even the wizard robes used by Lucian himself were just ordinary clothes, but this wizard robe was obviously a precious wizard tool.

"It's of little use to me." Lucian handed the wizard robe to Carly with a smile, with encouragement in his eyes.

"No, no! According to the principle of equivalent exchange..." Carly's voice was a little low, and her head was buzzing.

In her heart, Carly could not help but feel a little absurd: while other new bloods were still racking their brains to protect their deserved interests and fighting wits and courage with their mentors and some senior brothers and sisters, she was racking her brains to think about what she should give back to be worthy of the unilateral efforts of mentor Lucian.

She was really embarrassed!
After all, since she entered the academy, Lucian had been leading her step by step on the path of becoming a wizard. There was nothing she could do to help mentor Lucian...

Not to mention that Mentor Lucian has invested in her many times. Even the alchemical armor she is wearing now is made of magic stones paid by Mentor Lucian.

Although Lucian had said that she had to pay back the magic stones for the light armor, up to now, Lucian had never urged her to pay back the magic stones.

Isn't this a disguised gift?
Carly bit her lips lightly, looked at the wizard robe in her hand, and her eyes gradually became firm.

“I…I can’t have it!” Carly took a step back, mustered up her courage, raised her head, and looked at Lucian.

If she accepted it, she would feel uneasy.

Lucian looked at the stubborn Carly and tapped the table subconsciously.

Carly noticed the small movement of Lucian's fingers and lowered her head, feeling uneasy. After all, a student disobeying a teacher is a very serious matter.

[Your student Carly is in awe of you, Respect value +5]

"Okay, then let's follow the rule of equal exchange between wizards." Lucian looked at Carly, who had a nervous expression on her face, and said after thinking for a while.

"During this period, I plan to try pharmacy. You can be my lab assistant and help me with chores. Although it is a bit difficult for you to handle some materials now, you can still do chores such as cleaning test tubes and tidying up the laboratory. When you have solidified a few more spirit runes and your strength reaches the standard, I will gradually teach you about potion science. But by then, you will have to take responsibility for some matters of a pharmacist apprentice."

"Yes!" When Carly heard Lucian's arrangement, she raised her head, her eyes curved, and the joy on her face could not be concealed at all.

[Your student Carly reveres you, reverence value +10]

Lucian was speechless as he looked at Carly who was grinning foolishly at the moment.

Other wizards' students would never take the initiative unless their instructors told them to, but why did Carly take the initiative to do the work for him? This made the remuneration he was going to talk about later seem insignificant.

Well, he even "rewarded" himself with 10 points of respect.

Lucian tapped the table lightly to draw Carly's attention back, then he spoke.

"It will take about four hours a day, and I will also teach you about pharmacy during this time, so the reward will not be too high... Just two magic stones a week, this way, it can be considered an equal exchange."

Carly blinked her eyes. She had been communicating with other new bloods a lot these days, so she was very clear about the situation of other new bloods.

To learn the basics of alchemy from other wizards, one needs to pay at least 20 magic stones as tuition. But Lucian said he was an experimental assistant, but in fact, he wanted me to learn alchemy with him. Other wizard apprentices helped their mentors with odd jobs, which was what they should do. But when it came to Lucian, he seriously talked to me about "equivalent exchange"?
Carly felt that the term "equivalent exchange" was being ruined by Lucian.

"I, I don't need magic stones." After making sure that Mentor Lucian was not angry, Carly spoke carefully, trying to protect Lucian's interests.

“Equivalent exchange!” Lucian frowned and pretended to hit Carly on the head with his fingers.

“Then… one magic stone… one magic stone is enough. No, it can’t be higher!” Carly looked at Lucian and weakly stretched out a finger.

She really felt that she was not worth the price. Although she was very touched by Lucian's help, Carly said that she also had principles!

[Your student Carly reveres you, reverence value +50]

Just as Carly was trying to bargain back, Lucian received a pop-up notification from the system.

Lucian: !!!

After the shock, Lucian looked at Carly with extremely soft eyes.

What a great student!
