Although the performance of the devil made Anna feel funny, she would never forget his maliciousness towards her. All he did was to harvest her soul. She must be vigilant!

But then again, when she can see him and he is restricted by the rules, it is actually very easy for her to perfuse him. Just be on guard and don't let him ruin her normal life.

Now he has changed his approach to her strategy, and this strategy seems very acceptable to her, then she will cooperate with him. Her performance just now should be passable, right? The devil shouldn't possess Leon again, right? She has done everything, and the rest is up to God's will.

Anna walked back to her residence in the dark, thinking about the middle of the night, feeling the activeness of all the affinity elements under the mobilization of her mental power. Before going to bed, she felt a faint increase in mental power, and she fell asleep peacefully.

The next morning, Anna went to the service desk and glanced at the memo she gave her. The time and place shown on it did not change from what Leon said yesterday.

She remembered what Leon took the mission paper yesterday, and asked Tereza: "Does the Mage Lyon often do missions?"

Tereza knew everything about the association very well and nodded: "Yes, Mage Lyon is a very enthusiastic person. Not only does he often provide the greatest personal help to the association, but also solves the worries of many wizards."

Anna couldn't help but smile, Tereza spoke really interesting, the same thing can be very nice in her mouth.

The mission that Leon chose yesterday, she actually glanced at it before. It was released by a Samsung mage to obtain the brain tissue of a kind of beast in the life and death line. The commission was very high. There were fifty gold coins. She was very greedy but really didn't Method.

And to teach the apprentice of the mage to get started, one person can also get five gold coins.

Lyon is very young, much more mature and stable than those of the same age. He inherited the title early, and must bear the burden of the family if he wanted to. She suspected that he was short of money, so he would do things that most mages would not do.

Of course, a viscount’s lack of money is not the same as her lack of money, but after she wants to understand this, she feels that she is closer to Lyon psychologically-they are all "poor ghosts" running for money Woolen cloth.

When Anna saw Lyon in the No. 5 Pharmacy Room, she greeted Lyon very warmly: "Teacher Lyon, good day!"

"Good day." Leon was a little surprised at Anna's excitement, but he was relieved at the thought of today's course content, "Today I will explain some potion preparation principles and preparation techniques to you."

"Okay, Mrs. Leon!" Anna said, "I have finished watching "The Basics of Potions" yesterday. I don't know anything about potions. You can rest assured that I will ask questions if I don't understand."

This world is not as detailed and complicated as Anna's time, because the "Basics of Potions" is actually very thin, even less than fifty pages, so she can read it quickly.

Leon smiled faintly, he admired Anna's learning attitude very much.

"Well, I will demonstrate and explain at the same time, which will help you understand. Do you have affinity with the water element?"

"Yes, but I'm not very proficient." Anna said, she only learned of all her elemental affinity for two days, "The only thing I can apply relatively proficiently is the fire element."

"It doesn't matter, I don't have the affinity with the fire element. Today I will use the water element to get you started, which is more conducive to your future learning." Leon said.

"Okay, Mr. Leon, I will learn it seriously." Anna replied seriously.

She thought that although Lyon might have taken the introductory course for money, he also took it very seriously and gave her the possibility of self-study and can continue to study smoothly, instead of deliberately concealing it and asking her to pay for it in the future. He was willing to teach his class.

Some common pharmaceutical raw materials in the pharmacy room are provided free of charge, but you must apply before each time you use the pharmacy room. After the application is approved, the applicant can use some common and cheap pharmaceutical raw materials at will during the application period.

Anna remembered that at first she thought that the test fee for five gold coins was too expensive, but compared to the benefits that can be enjoyed after joining the Mage Association, the gold coins are really very cheap.

At least in her opinion, the associations that charge for the last class are actually very humane. would rather send a mission to find a handful of wizards who are willing to work hard to get the raw materials used for free in the pharmacy, and also to ensure the benefits of free use in some pharmacies.

In fact, most of the fees charged for class are probably given to the teachers in class.

It can be said that the Association of Masters is really a charitable organization, no wonder it must use five gold coins to prevent ordinary people from joining the association at will, otherwise it will be overcrowded and the association will only be in financial deficit. She has reason to suspect that the current financial situation of the association is not good.

Perhaps just like the universities she knows, the daily operating funds of the Masters Association also come from the funding from above.

After seeing the structure of the pharmacy room, Anna quickly converged her thoughts and watched Leon give her a demonstration.

What Leon is currently preparing is a medicine called "Goddess's Breath". The name of this medicine seems to be tall, but it is actually a common cold medicine.

When Little Evan was ill before, Gay had also gone to the doctor to buy medicine. The medicine was already very expensive in the eyes of ordinary people, but the effect could not be guaranteed. The effect of the medicine made by the mage is naturally much better than that of the doctor. It's just that there is no wizard association in Blue Rock City, and there are basically no potions with a long shelf life on the market.

And here in Black Cloud City, because of the existence of the Mage Association, you can still occasionally see potions on the market. Some mages rely on medicines to make money, and they target nobles who don't have mages at home. Every time the medicine sells more than ten or twenty gold coins, they can make money casually.

"Goddess's Breath" requires thirteen kinds of raw materials. Although there are many raw materials, they are all very common plants, and they are all the raw materials that are always available in the pharmacy room.

Anna watched Leon put all the extracts of the processed raw materials one by one on hand, and looked at Anna and said: "To prepare a potion with a certain formula, the most important thing is the type and order of the raw materials, the quantity is large and the quantity is small. Most of the time it doesn’t matter."

Anna nodded. Of course, the book "The Basics of Potions" clearly explained the simplest potion formula and preparation process like "Goddess's Breath". "Goddess's Breath" can be refined with all natural elements, and it can be regarded as a mage's standing medicine, especially a mage who has no affinity for light elements.

The effectiveness of the potion is lost very quickly, and the validity period will not exceed two days. Therefore, if there is no Mage Association in the local area, civilians with a little money can't count on this kind of good thing.

"Preparing a potion requires dual-purpose abilities. You must use your mental power to control the magic circuit while adding ingredients at the right time." Leon said while demonstrating to Anna. His palm was volleyed against the edge of the beaker. Seeing a blue light flashing in the palm of the hand, it enveloped the beaker like a gentle hand.

"When you feel that the former ingredient is'melted' in the natural elements, you can add the next one." Leon said, adding the second ingredient extract.

The magic circuit required to prepare potions is very simple, and what is important is the subtle manipulation of natural elements by mental power. If you can't add one of the following raw materials when the raw materials just melt, it will have a certain impact on the potion's efficacy. This is where the master's level is reflected.

It took Leon about ten minutes to prepare the potion, and a cup of hot "Goddess' Breath" came out of the pot.

However, considering that the preparation of the raw material extracts also takes time, I am afraid it will take one to two hours to make a separate "Goddess' Breath" by myself. Fortunately, all the raw materials of "Goddess' Breath" can be seen everywhere, and the pretreatment does not require the participation of natural elements. The association has recruited some ordinary people to prepare it without wasting the manpower of the wizard.

"Try it, don't be nervous, I will correct your mistakes." Leon took a step back and nodded to Anna.

Anna clenched her fists in excitement, she took a new beaker, put all the 13 raw material extracts in order, and then tried to control the water element empty-handed.

There are subtle differences in the refining of "Goddess' Breath" from different natural elements, so the general mage will choose a natural element as the main method for refining potions, and it can generally handle most potions.

Of course, some potions are forbidden to be refined in certain natural elements, so the mage needs to change to a natural element that is not commonly used, or simply entrust others to make it. So just like the magic circuit has individual differences, even potions have characteristics that are unique to a certain mage.

After Anna knew that she had the affinity of the six elements, they all tried to feel them.

According to the old mage on the day of the test, she is greedy and can't chew. The natural elements she often uses should be controlled between one or two. Of course, she also needs to practice the other natural elements. At least it can be used to cast some simple spells, such as the "Holy Healing" dominated by the light element, to cure minor injuries and pains, and save money...

At present, Anna has not selected the main natural elements, she is going to learn it for ten days and a half.

After realizing that there was nothing wrong with using the water element, Anna followed Leon’s way, put her hand on the wall of the beaker lightly, used the condensation circuit to envelop the entire beaker in the condensed water element, and then added the first raw material extraction. liquid.

The mental power circulates in the water element group, she can vaguely feel the water element shuttle back and forth between the raw material liquid, slowly changing some properties of the raw material. This is probably what Lyon calls "melting", right?

When all the "chaos" was calm, Anna added the second raw material extract. The calm was broken, and it became chaotic again.

After repeating this a dozen times, the original 13 different raw materials have become a whole. Originally, the extract comes in various colors, but the "goddess' breath" that can be made is colorless and transparent, and looks no different from water.

Of course ordinary people can't feel anything, but Anna, as a mage, can feel the elemental energy contained in it.

Anna looked at the potion she made and compared it with Leon's. There seemed to be no difference.

And only then did she realize that Leon said that she would point out the mistakes to her, but she was done, and he still didn't say anything.

She looked sideways, and Leon's always serious face was a little bit more exclaimed. He took the potion that Anna had just made, shook it in front of his eyes, and took another sip.

"No..." Anna exclaimed, and then immediately stopped.

Yes, this is a potion that can be drunk, but it is not a real chemical experiment, so you can’t drink reagents indiscriminately...

However, how could Leon dare to give the first potion made by her novice? Even if it is not poisoned to death, are you not afraid of diarrhea?

"Very good." Leon put down the beaker and looked at Anna with a complicated expression, but his eyes were a little bright, "I first met a mage apprentice who can make potions so good for the first time."

Teacher Lyon praised her again!

Anna was really happy when she heard this. It seems that Dibian said that her talent is good for blowing rainbow farts, so she can also rely on potions to make money, right?

Imagine that I made a bunch of "Goddess' Breath" and sold them in a crowded downtown. The civilians had no doubt about her potion because of her association badge, and they bought five bottles and ten bottles back home. She made a lot of money and no longer had to worry about the scene where she couldn't afford the mage robes and couldn't take the exam. She felt airy.

Stop.

A mage goes to set up a stall, and the force is gone. What does it look like? I'm afraid she just put on the street stall, the Wizards Association arrested her because she insulted the reputation of the association...

"Mr. Lyon, this is what you taught well!" Anna said very modestly, "I didn't know anything about half an hour ago."

Leon smiled. He found that his "student" was really sweet, and he didn't feel flattered.

"You've learned'Goddess' Breath', and I will teach you a few more potions that often appear in the one-star assessment." Leon said.

Today’s class is actually two classes in a row, for a total of two hours.

Because Anna learned quickly, Leon went on to teach her four potions, all of which can be mastered during the apprenticeship stage of the mage.

When the time came, Anna still had some thoughts. This is the end of her free course.

"Mr. Leon, can I take these potions home?" Anna asked, pointing to the ten bottles of potions the two had just made.

"Bring it." Leon didn't care about this, he said suddenly when he packed his things, "The next one-star assessment is two months later, I think you can try it."

"Good teacher Lyon, I will be well prepared for this." Anna nodded quickly, she had planned this way.

When Leon walked to the door, he turned around and said: "Your introductory course is over, but if you have a problem with your studies, you can also ask me."

"Okay, thank you Leon...Mage!" Anna said gratefully, a teacher who can be for nothing! Although you can't buy gold coins for nothing, you can buy your knowledge for nothing. What kind of bicycles are needed!

Lyon looked like a serious noble, but he didn't expect him to be quite nice.

Anna watched Leon leave, her feelings of reluctance faded a lot because of his promise. She tied up the potions in the narrow-necked bottle with a rope, hung them into a string, and walked out of the pharmacy room.

Because she lived close, Anna decided to go back first and give the potion to Giverny. When she went downstairs in the morning, she heard Giverny coughing, so she bought two more clothes by the way. Otherwise, if the weather is bad, she will not change her clothes.

Anna still went to the shop where she bought women's clothing for the first time. It happened that it was the clerk who visited the shop. The other party still remembered her. Naturally, she was not what she was at the beginning. There are some new women's clothing in the store. Would you like to see it?"

Anna smiled slightly: "I want to look at the cheaper ones, I can't afford the expensive ones when I'm tight on hand."

The clerk smiled unchanged and said: "Okay, please wait a moment."

She hurried to pick and choose, and finally pushed six pieces of clothes in front of Anna on a movable hanger, and smiled: "These are all at the same price as yours. Do you need me to introduce them to you?"

"No need." Anna didn't want to toss other people, she just thought the clothes in this store were very comfortable to wear, so she came again. She chose among the six clothes, and finally chose two riding outfits.

Waiting for the clerk to wrap the clothes in a paper bag and hand them to Anna respectfully. After paying the money, she picked a bottle from the stringed potion bottle and put it on the counter.

"I think your dark circles are a little heavy, don't you sleep well at night?" Anna laughed, "This is a potion that has just been made. Drink it before going to bed at night to ensure that you will sleep well all night. At dawn, I heard that there are some cosmetic side effects. Remember to drink it tonight, it may not be effective after tomorrow."

The clerk had already noticed the large series of bottles Anna was holding. She was very curious, but she was embarrassed to ask. Now she heard that it was a potion. She was happy and surprised at first, and he hesitated: "How much do I need to pay for this potion? What about the money?" If it's two or three silver coins, she can still afford it, and no matter how much it is, she will hesitate.

"No money, just take it as thank you for your service today." Anna smiled and waved, taking the clothes she bought and leaving.

"Thank you Master Master, you are such a good person!" The clerk said excitedly behind him, "You must come often, there are often some women's clothing with very good price-quality ratio in our store!"

"I know." Anna answered from a distance.

There were a total of two bottles of sleep aid potions. Anna prepared one bottle for Giverny. Giverner’s grandson was still young and would not have sleep problems, so she had one more bottle and she gave it to the clerk. The potion can't hold back, and the effect of drinking two bottles at once will not overlap. It's better to be a good person, maybe there are other gains.

That shop’s clothes are okay. The clerk should know some wealthy people among the commoners. When people are older, they may have sleep problems of this kind. When the time comes, the clerk will use it and recommend it for her. She can help others to solve it enough. For a maddening sleep problem, a bottle of potion is not too much for a dozen or twenty silver coins, right?

There are only five kinds of raw materials for sleeping potions, which are also five common plants. She doesn’t need to pay for a small amount of preparation. For a large amount of preparation, you need to buy the raw materials from the pharmacy, but it is not expensive. The amount of a bottle of potion requires processing. The cost of used raw materials is not even a silver coin.

Many potions that ordinary people can use, the raw materials are not expensive, the more expensive is the preparation process. Master is a scarce resource after all, of course there will be a premium.

Anna finally saw how easy it is for the Master to make money, and she was full of hope for the future.

After she went back, she didn't tell Givernardo, she gave the potion to the other party, and left after a brief introduction. These potions were harmless, even if Giverner remembered it wrong and didn't drink it right, it didn't hurt.

At noon, Anna and Natalie made an appointment to have lunch in the cafeteria, and then went to the library together.

Beginning today, Anna will lead Natalie to the promotion assessment. According to her plan, she and Natalie will finish reading all the books on the book list within ten days, and then they will start to enter the special practice. Trained.

She still has to set aside time to make money, otherwise it would be too sad to have no money during the exam.

The two chose the corner of the library, and Natalie was crying and was asked by Anna to read the remaining chapters of the book she read yesterday. The whole person shrank into a small ball, looking extremely pitiful.

Anna has no sympathy for this, she can't pass the exam but wants to marry an old man, how can Natalie not try her best? So no matter how pitiful Natalie poses, she is now a ruthless review machine.

Anna picked up the book and was about to immerse herself in the state of learning, when she suddenly heard someone pull the chair and sit down between the table.

She didn't intend to care about it, but Natalie kicked her under the table, and when she looked up, she snorted her and motioned her to look aside, with a good look on her face.

Anna looked sideways, "Raymond" stayed behind a table as if rooted, holding a book in her hand, as if she was reading intently, but...

The demon in his body is clearly staring at her!

Natalie kicked Anna again and winked at her when she looked over.

Anna gave her a glance, poked the book, and asked her to look quickly.

Natalie stuck out her tongue and looked down at the book with a bitter expression.

Anna only feels that the feeling at this moment is very weird, is it really more and more like a campus romance? Pretending to meet by chance in the library, "girlfriends" winked their eyebrows to fan the flames...

Anna thought she hadn't seen him. Anyway, she knew that there would be devil's forcible participation in her Western Fantasy campus life. As long as he didn't do anything, she could ignore him.

Anna had just read two pages of a book, stretched a slender white hand on the side, knocked it on the table, and then passed a note.

Anna: "......???"

Natalie didn't concentrate on reading at all. When she noticed the movement here, her eyes widened suddenly, looked at Anna curiously, and then at "Raymond."

Anna looked at the note at hand and fell into deep thought. What kind of boy and girl romance is this? Still passing a note?

She thought for a while, stretched out her hand, and pushed the note back without looking at it, and whispered: "I refuse." No matter what was written in it, she didn't need to deliberately finish the introductory course anyway. To please the devil.

Rot Garton was inexplicably angry.

He hasn't proposed yet. What is she rejecting? !
