Wizard: I can predict the future

Nord followed Karl into the workshop.

As he went deeper, he discovered that the entire workshop was much larger than he had imagined.

The area closest to the entrance is the primary material processing area.

Rows of workbenches are neatly arranged, with mithril knives, separators, filters, and other equipment placed in an orderly fashion.

As you walk further in, the unpleasant smell gradually disappears.

The air became very fresh, and even had a faint fragrance.

Nord's gaze was quickly drawn to what was ahead.

There were several crucibles of different sizes suspended in mid-air.

The magical flames below burned steadily, not intensely, but extremely steadily.

It far surpasses that set of basic potion-making tools.

He could even see that each crucible had several light screens displaying different temperatures.

Opposite the crucible are several complex devices.

It's somewhat like a magic rotator, but much larger, and it constantly adjusts the flow of magic as it rotates.

Next to it, there is a structure that looks like a glass pipe, but the material is closer to a crystal, and liquid flows slowly inside.

Karl pointed to these tools.

"This is the material purification area. Compared to the basic potion-making tools, you hardly need to operate them yourself."

After he finished speaking, he took a few more steps forward.

Pointing into the distance, he said:

"Inside are the potion-making area and the experimental analysis area."

"But you don't need it now. You can go in when you can make your own potions."

Nord nodded without asking any further questions.

His purpose in coming here was to learn more about potion-making, and even how to make potions.

Just then.

A slightly cold voice came from the other side.

"He's only just started learning Potions, he probably doesn't even know all the potions. What's the point of telling him all this?"

Nord turned his head and saw the woman who had been standing in front of a square experimental apparatus.

She had stopped what she was doing and was looking in this direction with a cold gaze.

Carl scratched his head.

"Everyone starts as a pharmacist apprentice."

"Besides, the teacher must have had his reasons for arranging him to come here."

The woman ignored Karl and walked straight toward the potion-making area.

Karl pursed his lips and whispered to Nord:

"Ignore her, Leona. That's just her temper; she's not a bad person."

"They just can't speak."

With that, he led Nord back to the primary materials processing area.

"Your teacher has already told me about your situation."

"For the first week, I will arrange some common magical plants for you to practice repeatedly."

He raised his hand and pointed towards the purification area behind him.

"In one week, all the extraction and purification of these materials will be handed over to you."

Karl looked at Nord, his gaze now more scrutinizing.

Whether you can stay or not is up to you.

"If you find it difficult, or if you can't meet the requirements, I will tell the teacher directly."

"You don't need to stay here any longer."

Nord nodded.

"clear."

The opportunity to obtain magical plants for free to practice on is something most apprentices would never even dare to dream of.

Nord certainly wouldn't waste it.

It's a bit of a pity that he doesn't have a source point now and can't make deductions.

Otherwise, the assessment a week later would be a sure thing.

However, he was not worried.

With his current strength, even if it's difficult, it shouldn't be too difficult.

However, in order to keep the practice a secret, they had to choose times when neither of them was present.

Karl smiled at his reaction.

"Okay, that's straightforward."

He turned around and walked to the materials shelf next to him, took down some magical plants, and threw them onto the workbench.

"Let's start with these."

"Kalagon grass, gray-veined vine, and wind-whispering wisteria..."

He named eighteen kinds of magical plants in a row.

"These are all essential materials for basic medicines. The requirements are not high. As long as they can be completely extracted and purified to a concentration of over 93%, it is acceptable."

"A purification success rate of over 60% is considered合格 (qualified)."

He paused, then pointed to the crystal ball beside him.

"That crystal ball connects to the academy's magic network. If we run out of materials, we can use it to request more from the academy."

"However, the college has a fixed limit on the amount of materials it provides each day."

After saying that, he stopped paying attention and turned to attend to his own business.

Nord looked at the magical plant on the control panel, then at the two people still busy inside.

Instead of taking immediate action, he focused his mind on the crystal ball, as if reviewing relevant information.

After an unknown amount of time, Carl and Leona left the laboratory one after the other.

Nord then slowly opened his eyes and began practicing.

These potions are all made from basic medicinal ingredients, and he already knew the relevant steps during his deductions.

He first picked up the Karagon grass and began to extract it following the steps in the book.

This time, things didn't go through the same twists and turns as with Moongrass.

With his powerful mental strength, the extraction was completed easily.

He then attempted to extract the sample three more times, without a single failure.

Looking at the three bottles of juice mixed with plant fiber in front of him, he went to the purification area.

Standing in front of the magic rotating device, he added the purification solution according to the proportions and then placed it into the rotating device.

Soon, a faint rumbling sound arose, and the rotator began to spin rapidly.

The entire extraction process went very smoothly.

Nord discovered that the rotating device in front of him was very precise. He hardly needed to adjust the rotation speed with his mental power. He only needed to follow the steps to control the output of magic power so that the magic power could be stably integrated into the solution.

In this way, he quickly completed the purification of Karagon grass.

Just as Nord was preparing to continue the purification process for the next magical plant.

Suddenly, a slight friction sound came from the material extraction area.

He turned his head and saw a little girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with pigtails, skipping and hopping in.

"Senior Brother Karl, Senior Sister Leona, I brought something fun."

She ran while waving her hand, her voice full of excitement.

In her hand was a source stone about half the size of a fist.

In that instant, Nord's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart jolted.

That familiar feeling made him almost instinctively want to step forward, snatch it, and examine it closely.

But he suppressed his impulse, after all, this was the wizarding world.

The little girl had just stepped into the workshop when she saw a strange man and stopped in her tracks.

"Who are you?"

"Where are Senior Karl and Senior Leona?"

Upon hearing this, Nord quickly looked away.

"Senior Karl and Senior Leona have gone back."

"My name is Nord, and Professor Dylan sent me here to help."

The little girl's eyes lit up at the words, and she quickly walked up to Nord, circled him, and looked him up and down.

His expression was full of curiosity.

"Yay, then I'm not the youngest anymore!"

She had originally intended to pat Nord on the shoulder, but because she wasn't tall enough, she reluctantly withdrew her hand.

"I almost forgot to introduce you."

She straightened her chest, looking very serious.

"My name is Mia, and I am one of Professor Vickers' students."

As if afraid Nord wouldn't understand, she continued:

"Professor Vickers and Professor Dylan are students of the same tutor, and I am currently studying Potions under Professor Dylan."

Nord glanced at the other's flat chest.

"Mr. Dylan hasn't accepted me as his student yet."

In Ash Academy, only those who are formally accepted into the school can be called students of the other school.

Mia waved her hand dismissively and said:

"The fact that Mr. Dylan arranged for you to come here already shows that he approves of you. As long as nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to be a registered student."

"However, formally becoming an apprentice is not that easy."

As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced around.

"Senior Karl and Senior Leona haven't officially become disciples yet."

Nord then realized that Professor Dylan had placed him in the Seventh Potions Workshop with the intention of putting him to a test.

However, this cannot be rushed.

He glanced at the Originium in Mia's hand and asked casually.

"What's that in your hand?"

"Is this what you call 'fun stuff'?"
