Chapter 243 (1/2)
The spacious and bright room is filled with bookshelves for collecting books. The incense scattered in the air seems to have the effect of concentrating and calming, which makes people relaxed and happy.
BELIS, who was standing outside the door, looked a little excited. As an alchemist who had just completed his studies as the chief and became recognized by the nine pointed star wizard tower, he was unavoidably nervous when he received funding from the funder and his first job in life for the first time.
You know, this is the corona family. How many wizards in eboden can have this honor? Of course, it must be taken for granted as the chief himself - with such a little pride and tension, Alchemist BELIS raised his hand and knocked at the door.
”Please come in!”
The voice is very young. It doesn't sound like an old wizard? Bellis was stunned before he pushed the door and entered the study. Behind the desk was a young man who was not much older than him. He raised his eyebrows lazily and looked at him:
”What's the announcement?”
Bellis suddenly lost his tongue - is this self righteous madman the object he will work hard as an experimental assistant for the next three years?
Even though he couldn't believe it, he still stubbornly opened his mouth: ”the old housekeeper of the corona family told me that you need an alchemist as an assistant, so I'm here to apply for...”
”Don't talk about this first, isn't it necessarily.” the young man was tired of waving his hands, as if he were driving mosquitoes: ”tell me first, what did you do before?”
This is... Want to see your work experience first?
The honest alchemist nodded and said, ”as an apprentice of the nine awn star wizard tower, I have assisted my tutor to complete 12 experiments, repaired the water supply system in Xicheng District alone, improved two kinds of four-wheel carriages, and participated in the design of a large manor and library tower...”
”That's the end of the nonsense!” he rudely interrupted the other party's words, and the young man's expression became more impatient: ”let me say so. What I want to ask is not the 'homework' assigned by the tutor, but what you have completed by yourself!”
Own things? The alchemist's eyes lit up: ”I wrote a book!”
”Very good!” the young man looked forward to looking at him. ”What's the use?”
”To put it simply, it's a brochure to simplify and teach some complex professional knowledge to ordinary people without even requiring them to read!” the alchemist said excitedly: ”this will enable the people to know more or less about us and reduce many misunderstandings about the profession of wizards, especially in areas with more superstitious beliefs!”
”Teach ordinary people the knowledge of witches?” the young man suddenly smiled. ”What's your name?”
”BELIS, my name is BELIS, from the civilian area in the south of the city.” the alchemist replied nervously: ”I firmly believe that sooner or later, the knowledge of wizards will no longer be mysterious, become easy to understand, and even become common sense in ordinary people's life!”
”The knowledge of witches has become common sense...” the young man suddenly became silent: ”Your Excellency Bellis, the alchemist, please allow me to ask?”
”When, of course!”
”Have you considered doing something... Really meaningful? For example, inheriting your mentor's mantle and carrying forward the cause of repairing sewer pipes?”
“……”
”You see, I actually care about my experimental assistant. So I also bought one of your 'children's books', two and a half silver coins. As a book, its cheapness is amazing.”
The young man threw the book on the table with disdain: ”but the price is never the most important - your side references and illustrations. If you hadn't just said it was a book, I would have thought it was some dirty yellow jokes!”
”Only in this way can those ordinary people understand!”
”I'm sorry, but... Can you understand?” the young man almost laughed: ”Dear alchemist, your excellency Bellis, the only difference between the ordinary people and the potatoes with water in their heads is that the potatoes think they know, but they really know nothing and live happily in their dreams!”
”Potatoes with water in their heads...”
”This is my mantra.” the young man shrugged. ”It refers to 99% of wizards... Well, generally speaking, all wizards except me.”
