Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 84 Questioning

Take the rail transit train back to the college.

On the way, Link finally resolved a question that had been lingering in his mind.

That is, what is the charm of the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association" that makes so many second- and third-year students rack their brains to win a position as president or vice president?

It turns out that what they valued was not so-called power or status, nor was it forming cliques within the academy to act arrogantly.

Instead, it extends beyond the academy, into the complex real world, and into the networks and communication channels of formal wizards.

If handled properly, it is very likely to gain the appreciation of a benefactor.

Whether or not a person has helpful mentors during their growth is very important.

Just like Link, after gaining the favor and investment of the wizard Paro,

Whether it was the six-month use of a laboratory or the job offer at the pharmacy, both were clearly accelerating his growth.

Even after understanding this, Link still refused to follow a path similar to Antoine Hilton's.

Individuals are individuals, and platforms are platforms.

Both models have their advantages and disadvantages.

Whether a path can be successfully followed and ultimately succeeded depends on many factors, and cannot be determined by a single factor.

It's simply a matter of different choices.

Everyone should be responsible for their own choices.

The rail transit train arrived at the station, and Link got off.

Upon entering the college, Link headed straight for the laboratory.

While working part-time, one must strive for excellence, and one's own studies and experiments must not be neglected.

The morning's work, besides familiarizing myself with a large number of pretreatment methods for plants and herbs,

Link's greatest gain was seeing in person many of the potions that he had only seen by name, description and pictures before.

comprehend by analogy.

When Link saw a potion called "Chenghu Lotus Seed Aromatherapy Oil," he may have triggered "Severus Snape's Potions talent" and suddenly had an inspiration.

Both have the effect of calming the mind and soothing the nerves. Lotus seeds from Chenghu Lotus can be made into aromatherapy essential oil, so why can't Li Xuan Cao?

Medicine isn't just something you ingest.

Internal use, external application, smearing, rinsing, fumigation...

Any product that utilizes pharmaceutical knowledge or alchemical pharmaceutical techniques, regardless of its usage, can be called a pharmaceutical.

Only after processing can the extract from the sap of the daylily have a calming effect, making it undoubtedly very suitable for making aromatherapy essential oils, sprays, and perfumes.

Aromatherapy oils are undoubtedly more suitable for meditation than sprays and perfumes.

With a sudden inspiration, Link's mind raced, and he developed a fairly complete experimental plan for the development of extracts from the leaves of the daylily.

After that, some time is spent conducting the experiment, publishing the "paper," and transferring or selling the patent.

Link will no longer need to worry about money for a while, and can focus on studying, researching, and experimenting to improve his personal abilities.

The part-time job at the Third Botanical Garden, the new germination method for Silver Star Flowers triggered by the part-time job, the subsequent in-depth development of hybridization breeding, and even the ongoing research on the extract of Lilac Leaf, all have only one purpose: to earn magic stones while learning the research system of the Wizarding World.

The sole purpose of earning magic stones is to enhance one's personal strength.

Personal strength is divided into three parts: knowledge, magic, and tools.

All three are inseparable from magic stones.

At most, you can add one more "credit"!

The laboratory building has three underground floors.

As Link walked down the stairs, he saw Lanny Taylor, her face veiled, sitting quietly reading a book outside the passageway door.

This genius girl, the only one in the first grade with a fifth-grade superior aptitude, spends her days studying, and her diligence rivals that of Link.

Judging from the traces at the scene, Lani Taylor had been guarding this place for quite some time.

For such a studious student to be willing to spend time waiting here so patiently, something must be going on.

As for what it was, Link had a feeling about it.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. Link had investigated Harold Andrews, so he knew that Lanny Taylor was also from Mettler Island.

Link also knew that Harold Andrews had pursued Lanny Taylor, but had been rejected.

He's young but cunning; instead of studying properly, he's always up to crooked tricks.

If he doesn't die, who will?

Hearing footsteps, Lanny Taylor looked up and saw Link Grand. She immediately put away her book and stood up.

With her pale purple eyes fixed on Link's eyes for a moment, Lanny Taylor spoke directly, her voice low and menacing: "Harold Andrews is dead, did you know, Link Grand?"

Link calmly looked back at Lanny Taylor, showing no intention of answering the question.

No answer is, in itself, an answer.

Lanny Taylor understood what Link meant. She took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and asked coldly, "Even if there are conflicts, why can't we sit down and talk it out? Does it have to come to this? Or have you become accustomed to solving problems with murder?"

Upon hearing this, Link couldn't help but let out a mocking smile.

However, some things can be said but not done; some things can be done but not said.

"Let's not rush to talk about me."

Link raised his right hand to stop Lanny Taylor from speaking, and asked in return, "Do you know what Harold Andrews has been doing these past few months?"

Lanny Taylor was speechless for a moment.

How could she not know?

If she didn't know what Harold Andrews had done, why would she immediately suspect Link Grand after receiving notification of Harold Andrews' death from the College's Enforcement Department?

Harold Andrews harassed Lanny Taylor for an entire semester, more than four months, and once let slip that he wanted to destroy Link Grand, whom many people compared to him.

Lanny Taylor also tried to persuade Harold Andrews, but he wouldn't listen.

After hesitating, Lani Taylor, knowing she was in the wrong, still couldn't help but confront Link Grand, just to put her mind at ease.

As for avenging Harold Andrews, sorry, Lanny Taylor never even considered it.

She was just casually checking to see if this person, whose diligence in studying was no less than hers, was really a cold-blooded killer!

"I don't know why you came to me with this question."

Link continued, "I only have one sentence to express my personal opinion: Public opinion is more despicable and shameless than witchcraft in killing people!"

After saying that, Link walked past Lanny Taylor, swiped his card to open the door, and entered the passage. "I still have experiments to do. Please make yourself at home."

Lanny Taylor turned to look at the door closing slowly, and at Link Grand walking deeper into the corridor and gradually disappearing into the shadows, and sighed softly.

After a long while, Lanny Taylor came to her senses, picked up her books, and went up the stairs.

She had long advised Harold Andrews that a person so self-disciplined that he filled his entire day with activities dedicated to improving himself was not someone he could handle.

Because she is that kind of person too.

Either don't do it at all, or do it thoroughly!
