Wizard: I use my omniscience to interpret the truth.

After processing most of the materials, Byron stopped what he was doing and looked at Daphne, who was staring at him with wide eyes, and asked her a question.

"How's it going? Are there any parts you don't understand? If you don't have any questions, try it out yourself."

Upon hearing Byron's words, Daphne nodded vigorously, "Master, I've already asked all the questions. Can I start trying now?!"

Byron nodded slightly as he looked at Daphne's cheeks, which were flushed with excitement.

"In that case, you can begin. I won't speak or offer any reminders during the process. I will only point out your mistakes after you have finished processing the materials."

Daphne nodded: "Master, I understand!"

Byron: "Alright, let's begin, starting with the simplest things."

As he spoke, Byron took the cheapest Twilight Grass from the pile of materials and handed it to her.

After receiving the materials, Daphne did not rush to try to process them. Instead, she observed them herself, as if pondering how to handle them.

Seeing this, Byron nodded silently to himself, but did not say anything.

After examining the Twilight Grass several times, Daphne finally began to process it.

Watching Daphne peel away the twilight grass step by step, slowly removing the useless parts... and finally dividing it into roughly equal portions.

At this point, the processing of a Twilight Grass material is officially complete.

Seeing that Daphne had finished processing the materials, Byron did not speak immediately, but instead picked up the processed Twilight Grass powder and began to examine it.

Seeing this, Daphne looked at Byron nervously, waiting for his evaluation.

Byron put down the twilight grass powder in his hand and looked at Daphne with a serious expression.

Upon seeing this, Daphne's breathing quickened, her face turned red, and her eyes showed signs of shame.

"Daphne, is this really your first time handling materials? You've never done this before?"

Hearing Byron's question, Daphne shook her head, her eyes red, "Master, this is indeed my first time handling materials. I'm sorry, Master, I didn't do a good job, and I've made you..."

"Not bad, very good. It seems you are more qualified than me in handling materials. When I first started handling materials, I didn't handle them as well as you."

Before Daphne could finish speaking, Byron interrupted her.

At the same time, Byron also felt a surge of excitement.

The short, stout man said that elves would be suitable as potion makers' assistants, but Byron thought this was just a sales pitch to Daphne.

I never expected that Daphne would be so suitable.

This is like finding a treasure! Those two hundred-plus magic stones were totally worth it!

Once Daphne is familiar with material processing, he won't have to spend time processing materials anymore!

This significantly improved his potion-making efficiency.

Going a step further, if we teach Daphne some potion-making knowledge, then in the future, most of the work of making potions can be entrusted to her.

He only needs to intervene in key steps and more difficult situations, such as increasing the purity of the potion...

Byron gets excited just thinking about that scenario.

When Daphne heard Byron's words, her mouth agape, she looked at Byron in disbelief.

"Master, am I really as good as you say?"

Byron was never stingy with his patience and smiles when it came to those who could help him.

Byron smiled and nodded: "I'm not exaggerating at all. Although there are still some flaws in the processing of the materials this time, using them to refine potions would reduce the purity of the potions."

"But considering this is your first time handling materials, it's already very good. Many wizarding apprentices don't handle materials as well as you do on their first try."

At this point, Byron sighed as he looked at Daphne, who was staring at him with great excitement.

"It seems that it won't be long before you can officially start helping me process the materials needed to refine potions."

Daphne nodded excitedly, patting her chest, "Master, don't worry, I'll become proficient as soon as possible. Leave all the material processing to me from now on!"

Seeing Daphne's appearance, Byron didn't say anything, but just smiled and nodded, feeling a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and reflection).

Buying Daphne was such a great deal; she's an absolute lifesaver!

At this moment, Daphne spoke again: "Master, could you please point out any areas where I didn't handle things well enough? I want to learn quickly and help you!"

Byron, of course, would not refuse this condition.

He immediately pointed out all the mistakes Daphne made when processing the materials, all of which would have led to a decrease in the purity of the final potion.

While Byron was explaining, Daphne also stared wide-eyed and listened intently.

After explaining Twilight Grass, Byron didn't stop. He simply taught Daphne how to process the other materials needed for the "Deep Meditation Potion".

After explaining, Byron took out some materials from the storage area and placed them in front of Daphne.

"Daphne, I have to go out for a bit later. You can practice here on your own. These materials are for your practice, so it's okay if you mess them up."

Upon hearing Byron's words, Daphne said earnestly, "Master, I will be extremely careful. I will only proceed when I am absolutely certain of my abilities. I cannot waste the materials you purchased."

Seeing Daphne's serious expression, Byron smiled and nodded: "Alright, then I'll wait and see."

Daphne nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Master, I definitely won't let you down!!!"

Byron nodded, said nothing more, and turned to walk upstairs.

As for Daphne, after Byron's figure had completely disappeared, she turned around and sat down again, her small face serious as she looked at the various materials laid out on the table in front of her.

Leaving the basement and walking down to the first floor, Byron suddenly saw WALL-E standing in the hallway, staring at him expressionlessly.

Upon seeing WALL-E, Byron finally understood what was wrong with the feeling he had had since morning.

Both he and Daphne had forgotten about WALL-E.

Looking at Wally's expressionless gaze, Byron felt inexplicably guilty.

Looking at WALL-E, Byron feigned calmness and said, "WALL-E, you need to clean up the lab and pile yesterday's trash on the lawn."

After giving his instructions, Byron turned and strode away from the laboratory, heading towards his mentor Isolde's experimental spire.

He went there today to ask his advisor for leave, and for a long time afterward, he probably won't be able to help Kolen purchase and process materials.

As for whether Isolde would agree, Byron was not worried.

To give a simple example, even he could buy slaves to help him process materials and organize things, so he didn't believe that a formal wizard like Mentor Isolde wouldn't have one.

Perhaps her soul slaves can even help her concoct potions; all she needs to do is research new potion recipes.
